T ,ughly disgusted with him. Whar hall I do?
 DIsILLUSIoNED WIFE Answer:
 I don't blame you for being dis qusted, Disillusioned Wife. A clinging-vine woman is despicable enough, Heaven knows, but a clinging-vine man is the most loath-. some thing in the world. Any able-bodied man who will sit around the house and do nothing while his wife goes out and makes the living is too contemptible to he permitted to live. Something with boiling oil in it should be done to him.

A great many widows refrain from marrying on account of their children. They are afraid that they might give them a stepfatheP who would be unkind to them. They devote their entire lives to their children, and they feel that the least that their children can do is to pay the debt they owe by devoting their own lives to mother. This might work out all right if the children did not marry. But when they do marry and the in-laws have to live with mother because she is widow the trouble be- gins.

Childhood isn't very long. It would be only a few years that the children would have to endure a
 stepfather, even if they didn't like him, SO I believe that nine times out of ten it would be better for a widow with children to remarry and establish her own home than it is for her to stay single and be dependent on them when they mar ry. This is looking at it solely
 from the children's standpoint. For herself, she would, of course, be immeasurably better off with her

 We talked by the open fire until quite late, even after the bridge players has disbanded and gone to their rooms and when went to bed was really In rather nervous state, for I had been telling Major Burley all about the numerous frights had had from snakes, runaway horses, houses on fire, storms at sea, mice and suspicious look ng men and s0fOrtl.
 Well" ," he, said laughingly as we parted, If anything startles you tonight give the alarm, and I'll be glad to rout ghosts, robbers or any other menace" ,"Oh, thank you. With such assurance l ought to sleep like a doormOuse," I returned merrily.
 But, as it happened I awoke about 2 o'clock in the morning, with a sensa- tion of having had something brush my face. rose hastily and, turning on the light, wrapped myself in my or enid satin and lace negligee and then l screamed loudly that there was bat in my room. l knew that nothing else would be flying around in the dark.

 What is it?" he asked. "A man in your room, did you say?"
 ''Oh, mol A horrible batP'
 "0h, a bat. That's not so bad. Wen get him all right" he said com fortingly and he picked up my umbrella which was right at my door. But we hunted and hunted and we could not find the horrid thing. The major poked behind the mirror and all the pictures. but the creature was not to be found.
 "I don't believe there was a bat here at all, said Catherine, who, with Pe- ter, her husband, had joined us. We never have bats here. Come on, Pete, let's go back to bed"

You'd better go to bed, Lucille, and forget your bat" she continued.
 At breakfast l said that was sorry if the bat episode had disturbed any body.
 You seem to have developed nerves recently, LuciIe," she remarked with acid sweetness. "By the way, MajeI left goodbye for you. He has to re- port soon to Washington, and he sud denly decided to take the early train to the city. Poor old Maje, he's al- ways grouchy after having his sleep broken"

POISONED PARADIsE"-LYCEUM

There is now being shown at the Lyceum theater a picture of so unus- ual a plot that it is hard to reduce 1t to the usual formulas. Poisoned Paradise" taken from Robert Sery- ices novel, is entitled to it's place among the most choice photoplays for it is thrilling tale of Monte Carlo, while its views are especially good.
 Actual motion pictures taken on the western front at the cost of II lives of the Signal Corps men during the war. will be the feature for the last half of the week when Powder River" is shown. This is the first and only authentic war department pie ture of the war.

PHILADELPHIA SLEUTH
 WILL HAVE TO EXPLAIN
Is Said to Have Taken Man From City Who is Accused of Kid
 mapping Young Woman

Pittsburgh, May 5.-Official Pitts burgh today awaited return from New York of Lieutenant of Detectives John Grouse for an explanation of his removal from Pittsburgh police sta- ton of George Neiman, an artist. who had been arrested upon charges of Kidnapping and assault preferred by Miss Gertrude Hoffman, student at the Carnegie institute of technology.
 Neiman was taken to New York Sunday by Lieutenant Grouse for de- portation to Russia, according to a po- lice announcement. Mrs. Jane Lentz, in charge of the federal immigration office here, in statement made pub- lie today declares the immigration authorities have no record. nor have they been interested in Neiman's case" because "Neiman could not be deported on the charges made against him."
 Superintendent of Police Brophy supplemented Mrs. Leutz's statement with the explanation that Lieutenant Crouse's statement had been misun- derstood. He declared that it was his understanding that Lieutenant Grouse was taking Neiman to a brother in New York, ''so that he could get him out of the country"
 Neiman was given a hearing on the charges Friday and was held for further investigation. He was charged with having Kidnapped Miss Hoffman and to have detained her in his art studio. The young woman also charged that after her escape. Nei- man attacked her in an office build ing.

J. c. MORTON AT CAPITOL.

The headline attraction at the
 'apitol starting today for the first
 half of this week presents J. C. Mor-
 ton assisted by Mamie. Edna and Alfred Morgan in The Battles of
 ,ys4." Mir. Morgan recently dis solved a noted theatrical partnership of long standing and now with the assistance of his family he is seen in a comedy travesty of his own.
 Horton and Moore was a very popu- lar musical comedy and vaudeville team, and Mir. Morton, however, is the kind of comedian who gives a good account of himself in any com pany under any condition. One and one have always made two but the unity of two vaudeville singles" often more than doubles the quality of fun. This is the case with Inglis and Winchester. Both Jack lnglis band Gene Winchester were considered very funny fellows when they went it alone, but now that they are to- gether their amusement value has not only doubled. it has trippled. They both offer a skit called, '.The Man of the Hour" and like all skits il has plenty of song and batter. Barry and Rollo are two clever girlies who are real entertaining at the piano with their very fine songs; Foxworth and Francis are pair of coored singers and dancers who lven things up while they hold the stage. The Wheeler Trio are the seasons sensation with their fine acrobstic offering. This act. years ago, began its career playing circus in backyard and after many bumps and falls developed into one of tho best acrobatic acts of present day vaudeville. The photoplay feature with this bill is an excellent one and presents Anna c. Nilsson and Milton Sills in "Flowing Gold" The story is from the pen of Rex Beach which is enough proof that the picture is a fine one.

PLAN STADIUM WHICH
 WILL SEAT 100000
U. of P. Realizes More AccOmmoda tions For Annual Relay Matches
 Are Necessary

Philadelphia. May 5.--The annual l relay carnival of the University of Pennsylvania has grown to such an extent that plans are under considera. tion for the construction or a stadium, with seating capacity of at leas, 100000 persons, in which to hold the big meet in future.
 pr. George W. Orton, manager of the carnival, said today he had been assured of the hearty cooperation of the city administration in the project. which he estimated would cost ap- proximately se.oo0.0O0
 Orton said a tentative site for the stadium had been selected and that if the plans materialized work would be started next fall. One of the pro- posed features is a track measuring three and one-half laps to the mile. which would offer an unobstructed view of the start and finish in races at 100 and 220 yards over a straight away. The stadium also would be used for big football games and other important athletic events.
 Orton said if the entry list con- tinued to increase it would be neces- sary either to extend the meet to three days or to hold both morning and afternoon sessions. This years program comprised sS events, several of international favor. More than 5000 athletics from the United States, England, Scotland and Canada com peted.
