Says Wooden Barracks
Dangerous For Troops

The burning Of four buildings at
the Fort Myer army post Friday
night should prove a lesson to Con-
gress and bring about the abandon-
ment Of wooden barracks at army
camps and posts all over the United
States, Acting Secretary Of War
Davis says.
Commenting last night upon the
conflag grafton in which fourteen
men were injured and valuable Gov.
eminent property destroyed, Davis
pointed out that American soldiers
are quartered in wooden barracks
in many posts and camps and that
no money is available for removing
men from these fire traps" In
the contagious ward of the hospital
destroyed there were no patients.
but only a short time ago it was
practically FULL
In addition to the menace Of life,
he said, the change Is desirable
from a purely business point Of
view. In one OF the wooden build
ings which was threatened at Fort
Myer and saved only by strenuous
effort, there was Government equip
ment valued at $250.000. This was
the laundry which does practically
all the work for the army in the
District Of Columbia.
Though no funds are available for
providing new quarters for the 100
or. more men burned out" last
night, none will be moved from the
post, but they will be given tents
or make-shift quarters with others.

Wife's Dress and
Housekeeping His
Chief Complaints
Earl Storke Files Cross Bill for
Decree Mate Beat Him
While He Slept, He Says.

Few men go so far as to include
in their written pleadings in divorce
case statements rejecting on the
way their wives dress or keep
house, but Earl F. Storke, husband
of Mrs. Henrietta c. Storke, does.
Mrs. Storke complained, in q
petition for limited divorce, filed
in the District Supreme Court. that
her husband was overload of saying
nice things about other women in
her presence.
Storke answers this complaint
by stating that 1.-THE only compari-
sons made to her disadvantage were
due to her own careless manner OF
dressing and keeping house.. he
goes even farther and declared that
she was careless housekeeper,
frequently sweeping the dirt under
the furniture instead of properly
cleaning the house" He often had
to- stay home from work, Storke
declares, in order to clean house
after his wife.
Storke also denies his wife's
charges of cruelty and accuses her
of attacking him while he was
asleep. She beat him, kicked him.
and gave him a black eye, he AYERS.
The only time he ever laid hands
on his wife, Storke declares, was
when she attacked him. He also
denies that he used his automobile
to joyride with other women.

Joker Is Seen i'm Civil
Service Aid 60 Veteran

Belief that there is joker in the
bill recently signed by President
Harding, whereby world war veter
ans are accorded a gratuitous five
points in civil service ratings, was
expressed yesterday by Alexander
NJ Bremen, vice commander OF the
District of Columbia Department
American Legion.
Mr.. Bremen said that he fears the
bill will prove of little benefit to the
ex-service man, inasmuch as it gives
him only a small handicap in com
peting with other applicants. The
point made by the vice commander
is that the time which the service
men lost during the war should be
compensated for with more than a
per cent advantage.
ST think it is well for the students
of soldier legislation to investigate
this point and see IL it is possible
that this bill was passed merely 10
placate the soldier without really
providing material assistance" MIR.
Bremen said.

IRISH PEACE NEAR !.

Figgis Asserts Expect
U. S. Trade Aid.
JOHN T. BURKE.
Universal Service.

LONDON, March 10.-Darrell
Figgis, only Independent member
OF the Irish Free State Dali. told
me today he expected to see peace
in Ireland shortly by reason OF
the continued assertions from the
Irregular forces.
Il believe complete peace in Ire.
land will be restored within a few
months said Figgis. 1.-The Irregu.
lar forces, which are now less than
1000, rapidly are melting away.
The recent use OF Trigger mines
showsthe lack Of men.
1T means that many of the boys
who have been fighting have gone
back tothe farms, and / think the
rest of them who are not farmers
are anxious to get back to the
workshops.
II know there is 500, 900, 900 in
American capital ready to be in.
vested in Ireland by manufacturers
as soon as peace is assured. This
will provide work for many thou.
sands, which means the end of all
Instructions, and will make Ireland
one Of the most prosperous coun-
tries in the world"
Figgis prophesied that at the
elections for the Dali this year the
Labor party would lose half its
members, who would be replaced
by "long headed business men" who
would help place Ireland on its feet
financially. He predicted there
would be no De Valera adherents
elected.

Wife Fails to Prove
Soldier Was Unfaithful

KipIng wrote something to the
effect that ''single men in barracks
don't grow into plaster saints"
According to the petition for alb
golute divorce filed in the District
Supreme Court by Mrs. Sophie +.
Coates, an employee Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, her husband;
Stuart Coates, a private at the
Army Medical School, sojourning at
the Barracks, was not an angel,
either, but was indiscreet with other
women.
She named an aged woman as CO.
respondent, but when the case camc
to trial, Private Coates proved that
he had done nothing naughty and
had behaved himself like a married
soldier should.
The result of it all was that JUS
tice Siddons, in Equity Court, yester-
day signed a decree dismissing the
wife's bill of complaint for lack
OF evidence. The couple were mar
ried March 9. 1919, and have two
children.

Bureau Of Pensions Warns of
Smooth Operator Who Is
Making Easy Morley.

The slight-of-hand ICON" mana
species generally regarded - ex-
tinct with the passing OF the
shell game has returned to the
easy.money field with q brand new
trick for swindling old soldiers and
soldiers widows.
A warning issued last night BY
the Bureau of Pensions Of the De-
partment of the Interior, describes
this swindling scheme.
A swindIer. flashily dressed and
glib-tongued, according to the
bureaus warning, has been finding
lucrative pickings in the southern
States, principally Mississippi, Ala
bama and Georgia.
Posing as special representa-
tive of the Pension Bureau, he calls
at the homes Of pensioned soldiers
with the announcement that an in.
crease in their pensions up to $72
has been awarded them-provided
they can pass q simple test.
Surprised and delighted, the VIC
tim readily undertakes to pass any
test, whereupon he Is presented
with an empty envelope. In the
envelope the pensioner- Is to place
all his money.
Here's the proposition" the con
man then explains: AL the Gov
eminent wants to know Is whether
you're an honest man. Now I'm
going to seal this senvelope you
have just given me and leave II
with you till tomorrow when the
Commissioner of Pensions win drop
In on you.
IF he finds the money untouched
you've passed the test and demon
strated you're an honest man. If
the envelope is torn open and the
money touched you're dishonest and
you won't get any increase.
Needless to say the Commissioner
Of Pensions fails to show up. while
the envelope contains fine assert,

From SIS to $50 is the average sum
