 The most serious problem is that presented by these Germans, who number three millions in a popula- ton of 13 millions" He said, "l believe from my recent observations in Czechoslovakia that the difficul- ties will gradually he solved and that 8 settlement Is on the way"
 Czechoslovakia, Dr. Schmitt said, was opposed to a reunion of Austria and Germany. which would put Ger man territory on the edge of the country md stir up feeling among the Germans within the frontiers bordering on Austria and Germany,
 Charles Pergler, formerly with the Czechoslovakian legation in Washington, said that No Slovak ever dreams of separation from the Czechosovak republic. every Czech speaks Sloyak and vice versa, There isn't much difference between the two peoples than between two states of the United States.

 Most of these are justified by considerations of revenue, check on exhaustion of resources, national defense, development of important mineral industries, and so on," he said Some tariffsy however such as the United States Manganese tariff. are designed to foster local developments which do not seem possible from the geological stand point. and which in effect constitute an unnecessary ard anti-conserva- tional burden the ecessary move mets from the great world centers at the same time depicting the small national supply vital to national de- fense in time of emergency

got into the scuffle and it shot Mr.. Davis
twice. Then at once Edith was Mortified
and overcome with remorse.
The next thing she knew she was out
in the street running so hard that one
of her heels came off. Three police
detectives, with the instinct of the dog
to pursue anything that runs, grabbed her
and found that their instinct was right.
She ended the story by repeating that
she loved her husband more than all the
world and would not do anything to capt.
talize the sad occurrence which had come
so near making her a widow.
Mr.. Carroll, noting that several minions
of the law were within earshot, winked
wisely and said:
"That's noble. | get you"
How could he or anyone else dream
that she really meant it? Even husband
shooters who are not actresses get all
the cash and advertising they can out
of their self-made widowhood, therefore
it was most improbable that this chorus
girl would miss the big chance. So he
furnished the $4,000 bail, made sup
per appointment with her for the next
day and set half dozen sketch and song
writers to working under forced draught.
Next evening, while the manager had
supper with his rescued damsel out of her
dungeon on a $4,000 tcther, this writ
ing talent collected around the table and
Mr.. Carroll enthusiastically outlined the
rough idea of her sketch. To her it was
a confusion of ideas all horrible.
She was TO be the feature. someone was
to feed her lines and she was to sing paro-
dies on old songs and new, and there was
to be a chorus of men and women. Just
think of that, to jump from chlorine"
to a principal, with a chorus to support
her.
1t was explained 10 her that several
"wise-crack" artists war, thinking up a
lot of screamingly funny answers for her
to give in reply to tn question: "Why
did YOU shoot your huSband?" But the
funniest of all. they agreed, was her own
idea that she did it because she loved him.
After this funny dialogue she was to
sing parodieS Of old songs and new. They
ratified off scores of them to choose from.
Her Mortified memory retained Snatches of
them, such as
"Jenny get your gum; 'Shoot me in
the cleaning. Genevieve"; Il divorced
him with gun--ain't we got fun?"; 81
muss my Swiss with a forty-fOur)":
"Yes, sir; that's my baby-she's gonna
shoot me, maybe"
The chorus men would then drop on
their knees and sing a verse of proposal
to the chorus girls, who would reply ap-

the road to stardom This was great
thing she had done for herself if the pub
licity was handled just right, and he was
the boy to do it.
She surprised him by talking about her
husband.

really? If so, what was the idea in shoot

a note. That's one we didn't think of.

lot for him at that. I'm adding $25 a
week to his salary as soon as he gets out
and he's on his way to big things, too.
Didn't he send you word of thanks"
"He won't even answer my letters"
she almost sobbed. Mr.. Carroll was in
dignant.
"Why, he ought to be ashamed of HIM
self. But some actors are ungratcful.
Now, if someone ever did as much for me

Overwhelmed with Sobs, Mrs.
Davis Is Locked Up to Await Re-
suit of the Bullet Wounds She
Inflicted On Her Husband.

Both worked last year in the Vanities,
he as a chorus man at $50 and she as
chorus girl at $50. She says that she
gave him every cent she did not need for
clothes to put away toward that dreamed
of home and car. But she did not like
the dressing room talk OF the hard-boiled
ladies with sanity faces, heavenly bodies
but earthly minds. rhey observed this
dislike and took extra pains to shock the
girl. At the end of the season she de-
cided that she did not belong on the
stage.
This was where her domestic troubles
began. Allen was a typical actor VINO
lived, breathed and talked nothing Blu.
"shop." Now that his wife was out of
the atmosphere entirely they had nothing
in common and soon she found that he
only came home to sleep and change his
clothes. There was no other woman in
it, she thinks. He was Just out with the
boys, all the time. But a husband who
is always out or asleep is impossible, and
she had to wake him up to tell him even
that much.
Finally she refused, so she said, to play
the part of cOat-check girl for her hus-
bands clothes and determined to go back
to her mother, who was living in Wash
ington. To do this required money for
carfare and the indignant wife found her
absentee husband dining with MELVILLE
Anderson at the apartment of Harry
Wagstaff Gribble, the playwright. She
and her husband retired into bedroom
to talk privately and the whole matter of
grievances was gone over and over like
an old WORKOUT monograph record. Then
there was scuffle and somehow pistol

preparatory accepting WITH verse enulnS
in this way:
YES, Dear, of course;
Just wait second till l get
my divorce"
Then each girl would draw a gun, step
to the next chorus man, supposed to he
her husband, and shoot him. 1t was GER
tain to be a riot, a WOW, a knockout.
To their amazement she refused to have
anything to do with it.
At first Manager Carroll thought she
had what is known as "staritis" and was
jockeying for more money or more promi-
nence on the bill, but when he offered all
sorts of concessions she spurned them.
1t took several days to convince him that
the impossible had occurred-an actress
actually refused to cash in on the legiti-
mate profits and by-products that go with
shooting ones husband
Mr.. Carroll held a consultation of wise
and experienced shOwmen over this phe-
nomenon, and the the unanimous verdict
was that the poor girl must be crazy.
AISO W utlNt crazy NOmetu dI ldTRe
on $4,000 bail was clearly bad busi-
ness proposition, everyone could see that
AT eight o'clock one morning on her
hotel bedroom door sounded three heavy,
ominous knocks, such as on the stage
herald the entrance of the sheriff or
messenger with bad news. This was
both. She opened the door and in stepped
Mr.. Carroll, though she was in her nighties.
Nighties are nothing in the show business.
He was followed by two burly men. Mr..
Carroll, pale from arising at such an I'M
theatrical hour, said:
1--WE come to give you up. I'm afraid
you might leave town.
''Of course | won't" she answered.
But Mr.. Carroll, instead of arguing the
matter, repeated his cue to one of the
other men, as actors do on the stage,
when someone is little slow in picking
up his cue. The fellow spoke up:

my assistant Come, get dressed, and
go to court. You are no longer out on

licity stuff for later on. 1t was too deep
for them to grasp.
Then some Broadway gossip spread the
rumor that Flo Ziegfeld had been seen
in jefferson Market Prison. When Mr..
Carroll heard that he jumped for his hat.
He called at the prison, sent up his card
and found that the lady was at home all
right. The matrOn helped her primp up
a bit, and possibly would have liked TO
have changed places with her Twenty-Five
year old prisoner.
She met her former employer anxiously
and shyly, for after that one Winters
experience with the Vanities she was still
quiet little mouse. Mr.. Carroll had
hardly noticed her at all then; why was he
so kind as to visit her now in her hour
of disgrace? Mrs. Davis had heard that
when a manager is nice to a chorus girl
she is expected to be mice" to him. Was
that what it meant?
The manager was full of enthusiasm
and friendliness, slapped her on the back,
called her my dear" and told her that
bail was being arranged, but there was no
sign of soft stuff. What did he want?

New York from Fort

for the proverbial
