MISSING GROOM
SENDS NOTE
To WIFE
Suicide Theory DispeIIed'
Bride Of Six Weeks
Wants Him Back.

A letter, postmarked Baltimore.
written on stationary Of the Emerson
Hotel, and received today by Mrs.
Samuel Hirschopf, bride Of six weeks,
has dispelled the young wife's belief
that her husband, Samuel, has COM
mitted suicide.
An "end-it-all'' note was found by
the bride yesterday morning when
she went to her husbands bedroom
to call him for his work.
The letter, which was postmarked
1870 o. M, warned the wife not to
look for Hirschopf, who, it is be-
lieved, has gone on to New York,
en- route to Warsaw, Russia, where
his people live.
Mrs. Hirshchopf admitted today
that there was no longer any doubt
in her mind but that it was case of
"desertion."
Wants Him Back.
ST still want my husband back,
however. I prayed to God that he
would not carry out his threat, and
I believe that he'll come back to me.
A woman's intuition tells me that
he will"
This was the belief expressed by
the young bride, despite the last
note received from her husband
telling her that he was gone for good,
which she read to a Times reporter
amid a flow Of tears that she could
not check.
The note said:
my Dear Wife: Here goes an
other line, which I hope you re-
ceive in good health. am sorry
that had to do what I did, but
no
needn't try to follow me here. BY
the time you receive this letter, I
shall be gone. There is nothing
more to say. If you can, try and
forget me.
II hope you will keep your word
and not let my people learn about
our marriage. You may or may
not hear from me again." (Signed)
SAM"
Mrs. Hirschopf, who is Gentle,
said that her marriage to. HRS.
chopf, a Jew, had been kept a.
secret from his people because of
their opposition to their sons mar
rage with a Gentle.
She declared that she was not
going to secure a warrant for his
arrest on a charge of desertion.
Gambler, She Says.
81 want my husband back and
I'll get him back, and in the right
way" she cried.
"He possesses an almost uncon-
trolable gambling mania, and Is, I
believe, with another man who Is
a professional gambler. He's my
man." she sobbed, che isn't good
to me, but want him back just

TEACHERS BILL
REPORTED
IN HOUSE
Amendment Proposing 5000
Increase Tackled on TO
Measure.

The teachers salary and school
reorganization bill, with amend.
ments to the original bill. as passed
by the Senate, was reported to the
House today by the House District
Committee. Congressman Fred n.
Zihlman of Maryland reported the
measure.
In making the report, Congress-
man Zihlman said that the bill was
primarily designed to benefit the
teachers of the District. The great
mass of high and normal school
teachers-and they are the most
highly trained members of the
teaching corps-receive no material
increase under the bin as 1t passed
the Senate, the report states. The
amendments, it continues, propose
to give them an increase of $500.
which would bring their maximum
up $4,000, comparable with the sal
aries paid in other cities the size OF
Washington.
Congressman Zihlman points out
that this grade and rating would
only be open to those teachers who
are required to have a college de-
gree and pass a difficult entrance
examination. The other amend
ments, he states, are for purpose
of giving all teachers in the system,
elementary, high and normal school
teachers, full credit for their teach
ing experience.
Under the bill as it passed the
Senate, the report continues, eie-
mentary school teachers would re-
ceive credit for only three years
teaching experience, and high ana
normal school teachers for four
years teaching experience.

A TWo-HUNDRED-CENT DOLLAR

A man came into The Republican
office and smiled and said, Would
it be all right for me to pay a dollar
on subscription when l owe a good
deal more than that?"
And the answer was, "Why we'd
be pleased to pieces. A dollar looks
as big as car wheel to us. For
long time the dollar has been looking
as big as the moon and about as far
away, but they are looking closer
now. They come along now about
as often as the solid disc wheels on
automobiles, and they may come into
common use. We feel warm and
friendly toward the family that re-
members us with dollar on sub
scription out of the first fruits of the
harvest. A dollar paid under such
circumstances really has about two
dollar value because it gives us the
use of a dollar when it is badly
needed, and it builds up about a dol
lars worth of confidence" tt.

A NEW PICTURE IN TOWN

Several new pictures have lately
found their way into store and bank
windows in. BlackfOOt showing a
crippled boy sitting on a table in
court and a number Of other boys
sitting around. The message that
goes with the pictures runs as fol-
lows:
The boy on the table is Bobbie
Bond. His legs were cut OF when
he was playing around railroad
tracks and tried to catch on freight
train for ride. Thousands of boys
have been killed or crippled doing
the same thing. Bobbie wasn't
killed, but he was crippled for life.
The other boys in the picture have
been arrested and taken before the
judge for playing on railroad tracks.
They were arrested because it's
wrong to hop trains or to play on the
tracks. The trains and tracks be-
long to the railroad company. You
have no more right to play on rail-
road tracks than the train has to
run over your yard or your play
ground.
To play around cars and tracks
isn't fair to your parents, either, be-
cause they don't want you to do it;
and it isn't fair to yourself, because
you may be killed, or crippled like
Bobbie Bond. Think of all the fun
he is going to missi He's got cork
legs, but you can't be a good ball
player or wrestler or any kind of
athlete with cork legs.
The judge told these boys that
hopping trains is cheating. Bobbie
and the other boys didn't know that
If they had, they would not have
done it. But it's true Playing
around tracks and trains isn't fair
to yourself or anybody else. Play
hard, but play only where you have
4 right to play.
Be fair and square to everybody!

THE DUBOIS

1t is interesting to know that there
is fair prospect of the Dubois irri-
cation project being put over. A
fine body of land in that part of the
state awaits only the touch of water,
and the building of the American
Falls reservoir, in which the Dubois
rroiect is clearly entitled to partici-
pate, affords a source of supply.
The Dubois project needs some
thing else, however, before it can be
put on the map as going concern,
and that is the cooperation of the
people of the Snake river valley. 1t

TIE SITUATION
IN EUROPE

Germany is gradually sinking into
lower levels of power, with increased
poverty and want. Her money goes
to lower and lower values and it has
been one of the puzzles to see how
low it could go without absolutely
! collapsing.
The French occupation of the
Ruhr with its mines Of coal and iron
and the industries for manufacture
of iron and steel goods Is proving
successful and for some time there
has been a general belief that Ger
many was about to submit and
acknowledge defeat in her effort to
ignore the French attempt to collect
the reparations German industries
have been at a standstill with the
laborers drawing wages from Berlin,
but with money that did not buy
them much, and not much in the
markets for sale. The country has
gone so dead that people could not
stand the strain and privation and
rioting is quite prevalent in the
cities. Farmers have paid OF their
mortgages with worthless marks and
the city people and commercial
classes have suffered.
With Russia powerless as Ger
many, but recovering, with Poland
and Belgium friendly to France, and
Italy and England leaving them all
alone as far as possible, France is in
position to dominate Europe, even
tho she is hard put for money. Her
people are working and repairing
the losses of war and if any
European nation that engaged in the
war can recover from the losses and
debts of war, France seems to be that
one. Holland kept out of the war
and is prosperous; England is bur-
dened with debts and trade is full
and industries at low ebb. Her de- !
sire to renew commercial relations |
with Germany and build up active |
trade has been thwarted by Ger
many's determination not to pay
Preparations and frances determine

The Germans themselves admit that
they have spent enough and lost

only applied it that way, and thai
they have lost enough by their in
activity and non-production to have
paid another large slice. If they had

Just what Mark did say, but knowing

Mark, I am the fellow. Just have the

felt relieved and decided to wait. By
the time Oscar got into his chariot
he had done some thinking and said
to Mark, so the story goes, Say
Mark, whose chain was it that was
stolen off of your digger anyway"
Mark is said to have done a little
calculating and then said
well, now I don't know. When we
hooked up to use it short time ago
we broke some links in the chain and

to get few links over at your dig

from home that day and I didn't ask
him how many links he got or
he just grabbed off the

FRANCE WINS
THE WAR

Germany is broken, beaten at hel
own game, now at the mercy Of
France. AS she misjudged her ply
steal and warlike strength, so has
she misjudged her moral and eco
nomic strength. She is an utter fail
ure, morally, martially, and as far as
her leaders are concerned, spirit

been wrong.
France is now in the Ruhr with

she is in the best economic and
strategic position in her history.
