MOTHER TRIES
To END LIFE
Doctors Arrive in Time to Pre-
vent Fatal Effect of Poison
She Took.

A woman for whom life had
ceased to hold any interest because
her three small children had been
taken away from her by her hus-
band three weeks ago attempted
last night to take her own life. Her
efforts at suicide will probably not
be successful, for physicians at the
Emergency Hospital arrived in time
to prevent the deadly effects of the
bichloride Of mercury tablets.
Mrs Anna Rine, tWenty-seVen
years old, of 121 d street northwest,
was the woman. The intense agony
that results from internal use of the
poison over came her will to die and
she notified other occupants Of the
house Of what she had done. Police
men F. B. Garrison and b. G.. Lewis,
Of the Sixth precinct, rendered first
aid and then called the Emergency
Hospital ambulance.
Three weeks ago Mrs Rine's hug
band took away their three small
children and left. Since then she
has fruitlessly explored the city in
an attempt to locate them. She con
fided to friends that without her

GUITAR
Communist University Calls it

Prohibits Use.

The guitar has been called some
hard names by those who do not
like it's tones, but it has remained
for the Russian Bolshevists to give
it the unkindest cut Of all. They
term it "counter-revolutiona
and bourgeois" musical instrument!
The Moscow Isvestia, the official
organ of the Soviet government, tells
the story as follows:
mot long ago some students of
the Sverdloff Communist University
in Moscow obtained a few guitars,
which they used to play in their
spare time in the evenings in the
university hostels. The admins
tration of these students lodging
places, having decided that "A
guitar is not a class-proletarlan in
strument and is, indeed, an in

the bourgeois and middle classes,
has assured the following decree:
"All guitars to be declared pro-
hibited in the hostels for students
Of the Sverdoff Communist Uni
verstiy."
The Isvestia added: I'VE be-
lieve the confiscated guitars have
been presented to the musical
