RAN HER. down
IN CAR, WIFE
CHARGES
Mrs. Bryant Says, in Suit,
Husband Was With "other
Woman" at Time

Up to the time when .the other
woman" made her appearance,
they lived happily together says
Mrs. Edna M. Bryant, 225 e street
southeast. who today filed suit in
the District Supreme Court against
Fred NJ. Bryant. in care OF the
Optical Shop at the Navy Yard,
where he is employed at weekly
salary of $40, for a limited divorce
and alimony, alleging cruelty, In
adequate support and desertion.
The couple were married in this
city January 5, 1919, and have no
children.
Mrs Bryant. represented by At
torneys Glenn E. F'eensy and simon
Hirshman declares that las. New
Year she learned. through friends
or her husband, that he was paying
marked attention to a. fair siivOrcee &,
a co-worker with. him at the Navy
Yard.
Plaintiff claims TINT both had
frequently taken their annual leave
at the same time. Mrs. Bryant says
that defendant began to lll.treal
her and that he would come home
from work, eat his oinner in d
hurry, dress up immediately and
leave the house not 70 return until
early the next morning. ADMITTING
when asked by his wife that he
had been out with the other woman
Bought Car For Him.
Not long ago, defendant asked
plaintiff to give him some Of hel
savings that he wanted to buy 8
Ford coupe. Mrs. Bryant said she
accommodated him, but that ht
used the car to take the other
woman out, and that she thercfore
took the car away from him..
On January 80, Mrs. Bryant
claims she trailed her husband as fle
was riding in the automobile with
the other woman. She hailed hin
and plaintiff alleges, her husband
deliberately and niaIiciously ran tiit
| car in to her, injuring her leg, and
sped on without stopping. Mrs
Bryant, in her effort to restore peace
| in their household, called on the
other woman, pleading with her u

but the woman replied: IF yot
were any kind of woman you couIc

Bryant, says his wife, deserted hel

DEMAND CROWS
FOR OLD JET
OBJECTS
Antique and Art Shops Are
Having Many Calls Now
for Such Articles

OF late there has been con-
stantly increasing call at antique
and art shops for objects and
articles made of jet. such as neck.
laces. brooches, embroidery, and
other ornaments made of that
material.
What is jet? In most cases the
dealer who sells the article knows
but little more than hfs prospective
customer There are two sorts of
jet, one natural, which is classed in
the family Of the lignites (coaD,
and is of an intense black, Of fine
and close texture; the other,
artificial, which, taken alone. Of
fers the form of small cylindrical
black glass tube, obtained by a
mixture OF oxide of copper, cobalt
and iron.
Jet has had its time of glory. and
in this connection 1t is Of interest
to know that the statue OF Meme
laua. carried off from the temple
Of HeliUpolis and transported to
Rome during the reign Of Tiberias,
was formed of jet.
Savary wrote in 1928: "It is with
artificial jet. cut and pierced, and
threaded with silk or thread, that
embroideries are made in suf-
ficiently good taste. but very dear,
which are used particularly for
ornaments in churches. Trimmings
are also made of il in half mourn
ing for men and women, and some
times muffs. tippets and trim.
mings for robes. For the latter, the
jet used Is white and black, but
of whatever color it may be. it is
III employed"
But artificial jet rs older than
that. The inventory drawn up after
the death of Gabrielle d'Estrees
d590 proves that jet was already
in fashion at that time. The entry
reads: Five small caps Of black
satin. Of which two are embroidered
in jet, one quite full; robe Of black
satin with q border of jet over the
body and the sleeves open; valued
at forty crowns"
To be convinced that jet goes
back even to the old Egypt of the
Pharaohs, 1t is only necessary to
look at the rare objects in the
Egyptian Museum in the Louvre
BY examining either the objects
themselves, or those painted on the
sarcophagi, one may find a large
number of small cylinders, some OF
enameled earth, others of colored
glass which, although they are
identical in every respect with the
jet of a later date, yet differ essen
TALLY in the variety OF the colors
which enabled the Egyptian women
to compose those charming neck
laces and splendid breast plates, sc
rich in Variad effeOtS that one
might almost say that in their
hands a box of tubes became q
palette.
Howard Carter, in his account oi
the Earl of Carnarvon's famous dis
covery in the Valley of the Kings
describes the finding in the tomb oi
Tut t-Ankh-Amen OF a magnificent
royal robe -" covered with a net
work OF tiny glass beads and tubes
of various coIors."

EPIDEMIC IS

Steady Improvement in Diph-

by Doctors

NOME, Alaska. Feb. 10.--Steady
Improvement in the diphtheria cpl
demic situation here was reported
today by Doctor Curtis Welch. No
fresh cases had been reported today
and the number affected to date
was thirty-two with twenty addi.
tional suspected cases.
So promising was the outlook for
controlling the epidemic that the
board of health today wired Avia-

perature ranging from 40 to so de-
grees below zero.

Many of those i'll were reported

GERMAN 0 GR {
WOULD SAVE
GRAMS
Haarmann Drops Letter in
Which He Retracts His
Charges Against Youth
BY S. ID. WEYER,
international News Service.

HANOVER, Germany Feb. 1O.--
From the shadow of the guillotine
Fritz Haarmann today had set in
motion his desperate attempt to
save Hans Grams, his convicted ac-
complice, from going with him to
the scaffold.
With his usual cunning the
human butcher of boys outwitted
the police by secretly writing a long
letter which retracted all the
charges against Grams and dropped
it. -
The letter started BY beseeching
IAN honest finder" TO deliver the
communication to Attorney Lotze,
who defended Grams, and who has
from Grams in his efforts to get
the condemned mans. consent to
sue for a pardon.
Wants No Pardon.
Lotze's plea of ''be reasonable,
Hans" has brought the reply, mo,
/ want justice, not a pardon.
am innocent and Haarmann knows
it,"
A new trial for Grams is believed
certain.
The slayer. convicted of fourteen
murders of the twenty-seven of
which he was accused, said he did
not wish to burden his conscience
by taking an innocent man to the
guillotine with him.
Hans Grams for years cheated
me, lied to me and exploited me,
but in spite of it all, couldn't
leave him. the letter continued.
"The police forced me by blows
and terrible mistreatment to drag
in Grams. Thus, / was forced to
make false charges from fear. /
lied just to get rest from the police.
Lied To Save. Himself. .
"The police told me Grams was
telling on me. and that, might as
we'll tell on him. They were de,
termined TO convict us both The
more lied about Grams, the more
decent the police treatment OF me
became.
Il solemnly swear that Grams
did not know anything whatever OF
nv previous life. He did not know
I murdered. He never saw any
thing.
81 call Heaven to witness that
Grams was innocently condemned.

HOOVER URGES NEED OF
AVIATION DEVELOPMENT

Secretary of Commerce Hoover
said today there is real need for
commercial aviation development,
reiterating his plea for a bureau Of
aeronautics and Federal regulation.
Hoover declared commercial lines
should prove more popular on short
hauls than on the long jumps,
pointing out that there are many
centers of population close together
by air but far removed by rail or
highway.
Adequate regulation is required to
establish confidence by the public
in the safety of air travel, accord.
ing to Hoover. He added that in
the official services, such as the

True Stories OF Wage Farmers And
