BY HERBERT QUICK

The other day in Washington, an
insane woman defied the police who
were trying to arrest her and have
her taken care Of. She stood threat
ening them and threatening herself
with a sharp butcher-knife. and finally
gashed her own wrists and breast with
the knife in an effort to commit sui
eide. Instead Of rushing in and
sacrificing one or more-hves, the po-
lice did thing which is marvellous
they used common sense mingled with
the utilization of modern science.
They set off in the room in which
the crazy woman had taken refuge one
OF those tear-bombs developed in the
war
The effect was wonderfully success
full. The woman was not injured; but
she was temporarily blinded and prac-
tically paralyzed- She thought no
more of suicide or resistance. She
was taken into custody and placed in
safety. The tear-bomb, devised TO put
soldiers out of action, worked as well
in peace as in war.
The tear-bomb and other bombs in
vented in the war ought to be in the
hands Of every police force and
sheriff. Lynchngs are done by mobs
of madmen. Mobs bent on lynching
can be repelled by their use. The NOW
ing down of mobs with machine-guns
is a perfectly justifiable thing when

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. - The
problem Of birth control, under the
provisions Of a bill now pending in
both houses OF Congress, will shortly
be discussed in committees at both
ends Of the Capitol.

sentative KIsseu of New York, the

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Ellen
O'ByrrR loved an Irish tune.
That love and a little bundle Of
clothes was all that she had when,
an immigrant girl Of 16. she landed
in this country.
Today Ellen O'Byrne Dewitt owns
property valued at 5000 900. She
has started four Of her brothers
and sisters brought over from the
old country, on the way to material
success, and has put her two sons
through school and established
them in business.
New York's thriftiest woman they
call her down on Third Ave, where
the handsome gray-haired woman
presides over the destinies of what
is now 81 thriving music store.
Twelve years ago Mr.. Dewitt,
after having weathered somewhat
more than the usual number OF
life's storms, found herself stranded
with $500 in her pocket and young
and hungry son singing to each
hand
Then she remembered the tunes
she had loved back home. She
took her 500 and started an Irish
music store.
All day long she kept the store.
At night she would get her boys sup
per. help them with their lessons
and put them to bed. Then she
would mend their clothes, straighten
her house and do the family wash
ing. In the morning she would
hang out the washing, cook the
breakfast and get the boys off TO
school At 8 o'clock she would be
down to her storekeeping.
The store continued to prosper.
When the lease expired Mrs. De
Witt bought the building. It seemed
to be a good investment, so she
bought the property next to it, too
During the war she let it be
known that customers might. If
they wished, pay for talking ma

time later Mrs. Dewitt purchased
a home on Staten Island, putting
