WIFE CAST OFF
. BY HUSBAND TO.
WE'D FAIR MATE
Mrs. Parnham Lived With Him
Through Adversely Until
Riches Came.

NEW YORK, March 9.-The age
old story Of the wife beloved through
adversely and struggle. but discarded
for some younger and more appeal
ing woman when wealth and success
have altered mans tastes and proc
Invites, n told once more in the
divorce suit which Mrs. Louise Hard
ing Parnham has begun against John
II. Parnham, millionaire president OF
the Milton Piano Company, and in
fluential in the so-called piano trust.
Parnham was an eighteen -dollar-a.
week clerk when he married Louise
Harding, Canadian girl, twenty
years ago. Through long years Of
want and struggle they raised their
beautiful daughter, Mildred. now
eighteen years old. Their savings
went to help Parnham get an in
terest in the piano manufacturing
company and presently he became its
president.
Encouraged Husband.
During wartime. when the manu-
facturc Of pianos abroad was for
hidden. Mrs. Parnham encouraged
her husband to branch out into the
exporting field. with such success
that he received an offer to man
age the Kohler & Campbell CO.,
Inc, one Of the largest piano manu-
featuring concerns In the country.
John o. Campbell. Of that con.
Germ, was treasurer Of the Milton
Piano Company, and he saw In
Parnham's success the prospect OF
great prosperity for the larger
company. Expansion, absorption,
and all the usual trimmings Of a
trust" formation followed. Parn-
ham was at the zenith OF his ca
reer. His wife. shrewd and con-
slant adviser. counseled him to take
advantage of the stock boom In
stock collapse came urged him to
get out. Through fortunate invest
ments. he greatly increased his
growing wealth.
Breath Of Temptation.
Then came temptation Mrs.
Parnham and her daughter went
to visit relatives in Canada in 1920,
and while there she received a
message from her husband to meet
him in the Iroquois Hotel, Buffalo.
She did so and learned that Parn-
ham had decided they should live
apart. There had been many riffs
in the lutte Of marital happiness
during the eighteen years since DIR.
Robert Macarthur married them,
April 10. 1909. at the Calvary Bap-
fist Church. but none that had
seemed past mending.
Parnham, however, told his wife
her temperamental idiosyncrasies
had grown upon him until he had
decided he could no longer stand
the strain. 1t would be better, he
thought. II they lived apart. at least
for a while. This conviction had
thrust itself upon him, he explained,
while she had been away in Canada.

those passengers could have caught
the train.
Then we waited for long time for
another train to pass us by.
THAT was only safe and wise and
sensible. for l would not have cared
to have bumped into that other train
'I should say wouldn't have cared
to be jolted, either" said the Coal Car.
mo more would have cared for 1t,
agreed the Passenger Coach.
'But still,' the Engine went on,
that was another stop. An impor-
tant one, a necessary one, but still 1t
was another stop. And It wasn't the
stop the conductor had called out, for
that was town we stopped at half
way on our journey.
Then we stopped by red barn.
Why, I don't know. We stopped by a
deserted farmhouse, too. We stopped
by an old woodshed, and we stopped
near field of corn.
ave stayed for long time by a
NegethDle patCH anu yet VIC ii"uh
stopped for vegetables.
1--WE stopped by windmill. and we
stopped by an apple orchard. we
stopped by a junction which wasn't
supposed to be one of our stops.
ave stopped by some crosstracks,
and we stopped by hop field.
ave stopped by an old stump, and
we stopped by some woods.
..In fact, we made fully dozen or
more stops which the conductor hadn't
mentioned"
"Do you suppose he could have for
gotten theml" asked the Coal Car.
.Perhaps that does explain it," said
the Passenger Car.
at is certainly very, very puzzling.
He should have called out all those
other stops, and as we came near the
red barn where we stopped, he should
have shouted:
".The next stop Is Red Barn. Next
stop-Red Barn..
"That would have been much bet
ter" said the Engine. Much Better"
"AIuch Better" agreed the Coal Car.
"But 1t Is still very, very puZZllng,'
said the Engine. Certainly our lives
are exciting. We dash through the
country and then we stop at unex-
pected places
"Truly there is nothing dull about
being an Engine"
"Nor about being Coal Carr the
Coal Car said.
"Nor about being Passenger Car,
and seeing all the different people. and
their bundles" said the Passenger Car.

FATHER OF BLOCK SIGNALING
Name OF William Robinson Written
Large in the H story of Rail-
way Transportation.

An automatic electric system Of
railroad signaling was put into sue
cessful operation for the first time 20
yenrs ago. II was the invention Of
william Robinson, and the trial to
which he submitted his signaling ap-
pl!nnces was made early in September.
1872, at the town of KinZua. on the
old Philadelphia & Erie railway in
northern Peuuysvlyania.
Mr.. Robinson is verg generally re-
ferred to rs the father of automatic
block signaling" His invention is
recognized as the forerunner and at
the same time the basis of "practical-
ly every automatic electric block sig
nal system in use on railroads today"
This tribute Ia his work appeared
in recent report of the Interstate
commerce commission: Perhaps no
single invention in the history of the
development of railway transportation
has contributed more toward safety
and dispatch in that field than the
closed track circuit"

OLD RAGS USED IN ROOFING
Discarded Odds and Ends Play an I'M
portant Part in the Nations
Housing Supply.

Old rags play an important part in
the nations housing supply, as most
of the roofs on modern homes are
partly made from them. In the form
of roll roofingS and prepared shingles,
old rags cover more American homes
than all other types combined. In the
preparation of asphalt materials for
roofing purposes thousands of tons of
rags are made use of every year,
Thrift states.
After the housewife has thrown
away her accumulation of odds and
ends or sold them to the leathern-
lunged junk man who roams the
streets of all American cities and
towns with his iingling bell, they pass
through many hands before eventually
reaching the factory, where they are
sorted and reduced to pulp. This is
made into raw, coarse fabric of long
fiber and great durability. Into every
pore and opening of this cloth hot rs.
phalt is pressed and the material is
then covered on both sides with as.
phalt and crushed slate The product
of the process is very durable, WA
terproof solid material which is used
to cover most American houses.

SOCIETY MEN WEAR CORSETS
Fad Spreading in England, and Said
to Be by No Means Confined
to Fops.

The corset-wearing habit among
men is coming into vogue again, says
an investigator in England.
"a leading London corsetiere who
supplies most society men, puts down
II good customers bill at $50 per an
mum. Let no one imagine that it is
only fops who wear them. The ma ior-
ity of wearers are military men, who,
l learn, require II greater amount of
padding than civilians. Others are or
binary welldressed men. given TO man
ly sports. and by no means effeminate.
"A mans figure has to be gradually
coaNed into shape and it is put first of
all into a soft silk corset with scarcely
any bones. until he attainS by degrees
to the full glory of the perfect figure.
This process usually takes three
months, and five special makes of cor
sets are employed III the development,
or perhaps it woIld be more accurate
to say the repression of the figure"

understanding that there is to be Il
great diversity in styles, especially in

This point is apparent in the group

as usual are made of fabrics, or fab
rics and braid combined. and there Is
much hand work on them. The group
pictured includes the range in size
and the shapes are popular. The wide

there are dainty Bingham waists and
those of esponge that made an earlier
entry.
The tuck-in and short, over-the-skirt
styles almost monopolize the displays.
A few longer blouses are suggestive of
the MILDLY, from all of which 1t may be
gathered that blouses are merely an
oblgato to the spring song Of suits.
Many Of them are quite strictly tailored
and among the most pleasing are the
pastel-coored linens with white bind

fabric-covered buttons. This button
decoration appears on silk blouses
also.
