HIS Honey GETS
ICE WATER BATH
Pie and 'Puddin'' Not So Happy
as It Seemed

New York, Aug. 15.--Mrs. Lila Du
Val Moore, Kentucky belle, and her
husband, Thomas Brent Moore, an ac-
countant in the Internal Revenue of
flee, were known to their friends as
Pie and "Puddin," respectively, be-
cause of their apparently happy mar
ried life.
In affidavits filed in the supreme
court yesterday, Mrs. Moore, suing
for a separation, asserted her hus-
band several times poured ice water
on her after she had retired, once or
twice dragged her out of bed to beat
her and several times asked her to
consent to double suicide.
Moore, who revealed the "pie" and
''puddin sobriquet of their friends,
while denying the alleged cruelties,
declared their trouble arose because
his wife refused to discontinue &C.
cepting the escort of male companions
of whom he disapproved, stayed out
until 3 and o'clock in the morning,
and INDUCED in poker and liquor
parties.
Il still ardently love her." says
Moore, land hope for her return.
There is no reason why we cannot
continue our pie and puddin' rela-
tionship."
The Moores were married Aug. rs,
1914 at Georgetown, KY They lived
at 452 Riverside Drive until their sep
aration, March Z. Mrs. Moore asked
for $500 a month temporary alimony
and $1,000 counsel fee, asserting her
husbands income at $4,000 a year.
Justice Lydon refused to make an
award. saying she failed to verify her
complaint and substantiate her
charges of cruelty.

Armitage did not lack courage. He
returned the others gaze.

The high backed chair creaked as

You are a brave man, Major
Armitage. We will play this game
He touched a brass gong at his side
and the attendant entered quietly.
Bring me the game that you took
from the English gentleman, the pen
Gil and his notebook" -
Without tremor Armitage set the
little brass box squarely in the center
of the paper and drew lines from
each corner of the thing to the cor
responding corners of the sheet.
Round the box itself he marked
square and lifted the lid to show the
cube resting firmly in its slot in the
inner portion. He slid back the top
and turned the box over and over be-
tween his fingers. -
THE red will face this square"
declared Chai-Hung, indicating the
section with a fingernail of enormous
length. .'+
Taking the cover between finger
and thumb, Armitage lifted slowly.
He paused midway, conscious that
the man who sat opposite had turned
sharply toward the door. Suddenly
the Oriental sprang to his feet-his
whole being consumed with fury
and clutched with his single hand at

under the table, and the blow de-

WILL PROMOTE HOMECOMING

The American Homesteaders, Inc,
formed in October to construct me-
dunn priced homes throughout the
country. has started business.
The company was organized by
Herbert E. Miles, formerly president
of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States; Hans Rieg, formerly
chief of the foreign language division
of the United States Treasury De-
partment; William l.. White, presi-
dent of White & White; ]. B. Allay,
president of the Real Estate Finance
Corporation; Hiram Barney of the
firm of Barney & Pruyn, lawyers, and
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The company's methods are a COM
bination of those of the Federal Re-
serve System and the Morris plan
The plan of the organization is to
form subsidiary in any section in
which sufficient number of new
dwellings are needed to permit the
Scneme TO De profitable.
Such subsidiaries have been formed
in Kansas City, Mo-; Washington, D.
c.; and two States in the West.
ITO those subsidiary companies an
applicant who desires a home Of his
own may appeal said Mr. Rieg.
"The applicant is carefully investi-
gated. Following this investigation is
determined the cost of a home that
he can carry without undue financial
stress.
After that is determined and he
has secured two co-indorsers there
are laid before the applicant ten diff
ferent designs of houses from which
he can make selection.
When the applicant has decided
on the type of dwelling bss. suited
to his needs. he pays down 10 per
cent of the total cost
"If the applicant owns lot, the
lot is substituted for the cash pay
ment.
IF he does not own lot, lot
suitable to him viii be bought for
him by the subsidiary company
'The amount of money in addition
to the down payment of $500 neces-
sary for the purchase will be ad.
vanced by the subsidiary company
I'm the construction work all stand
ardized materials will be bought by
the parent company at wholesale
prices and shipped to the local con-
tractor, who will have the actual
work of construction.
when the house is completed and
the owner has moved in, monthly
payment of l per cent of the total
cost, in this case $50 a month, will
start.
Fire and life insurance, the latter
taken out on the group insurance
basis, plus 10 per cent of the cost of
construction, is added to the princi
pal but it is at all times arranged so

construction cost, will never exceed
the originally determined price range.
''The $50 payment month takes
care Of all interest charges and the
remainder is applied to the amortiza-
tion Of the second mortgage.
ION $4,000 house this would be
$500 and the first mortgage would
amount to $4,000.
The second mortgage under our
plan is paid off in little less than
forty-eight months.
"The owner can then apply the
money for the reduction of the first
mortgage or can continue the first
mortgage at per cent interest a
year."

Automobiles purchased by colored
people in Phoenix since our last issue,
are too numerous to mention. 1t seems
that an automobile craze has struck
the people and nearly everyone has
bought an auto. Perhaps they are
planning to keep cool this summer
by motoring to mountain resorts and
suburban towns on Sundays and holi-
days. In Phoenix, If you don't own a
car-well, you are not in it. that's
