GERMAN SENT TO
JAIL UPON AN
UNUSUAL CHARGE

BERLIN, July ia criminal court
OF beipsig has convicted of man
slaughter Friedrich o. Schuelm, whose
carelessness in installing an electric
light connection two years ago recent
ly caused the electrocution of his
brother-in-law,A Arthur Hildig. Schuelm,
who is 81 and a carpenter, was SEN
fenced to six months in JAIL and fined
800 marks.
The state charged that he installed
the extension and light cord for Hill
dig as favor, though he knew MOTH
ing of electric wiring. The light had
been in use nearly two years, when
Hildig carried it into a corner of the
cellar, where the dirt floor was soak
ed with water. The 220-volt current
killed him. 1t is regarded as the most
unusual manslaughter case in the an
nails of German Jurisprudence.
Dogs are not allowed to go after
sticks and rubber balls on the bathing
beaches of the Alster basin, reserved
for human beings. So the park COM
mission of Hamburg has rugged up an
elaborate canine bathing beach set off
concrete piers decorated with half a
dozen sculptures of pedigreed dogs.
With so many American girls about
to try their luck at swimming the Eng
lish channel, that boisterous body of
water will look like a cafeteria coun-
ter" when the supply tugs start feed
ing them, says the editor of Berliner
Lokal Anzeiger.
Calling this seasons bevy of SWIM
mers the greatest collection of mer-
maids ever seen, the editor propounds
the question: why do so many Amer
lean flappers attempt to swim the
channel?" His own answer was: "They
do it to show Europe that they are not
merely gold fish, but real honest-to-
life fish" His readers, however, were
invited to supply their own answers to
the conundrum.
Germany ought to have worlds
champions in virtually every branch of
athletics, said Coach Stanley Praunin-
ger, of the Cincinnati Y. M. c. A., on
his tour of Europe, with his Cincinna-
ii swimming proteges, Walter Laufer
and Russell Webb.
Mass athletics for men and women is
so highly developed by schools and
sport clubs with government subsidies"
he said, that it is hard to believe
there are so few outstanding athletes
like Erich Rademacher, who is un-
questionably the best breast stroke
man in the world"
Prauninger believes that what is
lacking is trainers who have an eye
peeled for promising material which
can be jerked out of the ranks ana
developed by special coaching.

AbOut RHYMES

The other day we printed a verse
which rhymed two supposedly nu-
rhymable worlds, viz: month" and
orange" That expert versifier, Ar
thur Quiterman, remarks that those
who say such words as window"
silver chimney" month" and
wasp" are unrhymable simply do not
know their dictionaries. He himself
has rhymed them all with legitimate
words. To quote from him my way
of proof:
When the little armadillo
With his head upon his pillow
Sweetly rests,
And the parakeet and Undo
Fitting past my cabin window
Seek their nests
Again "chilver,' meaning eve
lamb, is a perfect rhyme for silver,
and "Dismas," the traditional name
of the penitent thief, is a pretty good
one for "Chritsmas"
AS for wasp" which Lord Dunsany
says is unrhymable, Mr.. Guiterman
properly passed up such sight rhymes
as clasp and "graps" and wrote
1 saw a melancholy wasp
Upon purple clover klosp.
Thus it appears that those who
claim that certain words are un-
rhymable need a better acquaintance
with a we'll known work by one Moan
Webster.-Boston Transcript.

Elderly people who suffer with

ter written by Mrs. Elizabeth
Woodward, 65 years old, who
lives at 3460 West Michigan St.,
Indianapolis. She writes:

So she said, quite casually, You
clear out, Tod Go to bed, or go
down town to the movies, or do
whatever you like. Miss Moore and
| are quite ready to excuse you"
Teddy, catching the CLEAN of his
aunt'S commanding eye, immediate
ly said his simple good nights and
left the room.
Now, my dear Child" Mrs. Prem
tiss said, after a moment of tactful
silence, you may go right to bed
or-if you choose, you may talk
things over a bit first"
Bunny looked at her with the
glance a wise owl might give a coun-
try sparrow, and said, courteously:
Please, Mrs. Prentiss, think I'll
go to my room. You are so good to
me-and I do appreciate it-but it
has been a hard day, and-oh, I'm
sure you understand. I want to be
alone"
"Of course, you do, you poor dear
Now, you come right along with
me-"
And for the next half hour, Mrs
Prentiss was more like matron of
an orphan asylum or head nurse in
a charity ward than anything else.
And little Bunny, exhausted by the
unaccustomed strain on her nerves
and emotions. tucked herself be-
tween the nice percale sheets, which
Mrs. Prentiss preferred to linen"
and, after her kind hostess had de-
parted. thought things over.
Meanwhile. though To-day Buck had
fallen under the spell Of Bunny's
charm. he had not entirely taken
leave of his sense, and he went out
for a walk, thoughfully turning his
steps toward the funeral parlors.

Buck came downstairs, they learned
that Bunny had concluded to go
home with Mrs. Prentiss and stay
for a time. The combined per-
suasions of that insistent lady and
Larry Inman had resulted in Bun
ny's acquiescence, and she was
about to go up for a suitcase and
some necessary belongings.
II needn't take much" she said,
pausing at the foot of the stars, "for
can run back and forth for what
ever 1 need"
She ran along up, and Cunning
ham. after few words of farewell,
took his departure.
A few moments later, Bunny came
down from upstairs, followed by Car
ter, with a small suitcase.
I'm ready" she said, slowly, to
Mrs. Prentiss, "but I can't find my
vanity box. It's the queerest thing
Il had it in my room just before
dinner. / usually have it about with
me, butt left it upstairs, and now
l can't find it."
Teddy Buck hesitated He knew
Cunningham had taken it away, but
he was uncertain whether to tell
that or not. He concluded to keep
silent on the matter, for he had told
Cunningham he would not interfere
with his detective work, and he felt
he was not at liberty to divulge the
detectives secrets.
Bunny said no more about It,
though it was plain to be seen it
worried her.
With a quietness unusual for her
gay little self, she said good night
to Innan and went with Mrs. Prem.

1t was also unusual for Bunny tc
pay so little attention to a pre-
sentable and attractive young man
as she showed toward Todhuntei
Buck.
But Bunny was not herself. Small
wonder, considering the shock she
had sustained.
Once in Mrs. Prentiss' CHEEKY il

stood, irresolutely, by table and
faced the other two.

But she was troubled. And, if
truth were known, she had reason
to be.
"Mr. Buck" she said, speaking al.

fly that Teddy Buck forgot all about
and wanted only to enlist in the serv-
ice of Bunny Moore for the rest of
his mortal career.
Now, you just waltz he ex-
claimed eagerly, I'm for you-all
for you! And I'll put all my cards
on the table. AL Cunningham did
take your vanity case, or whatever
you call it. And I'm expecting you
to tell me why he took it, and why
you care so much that he did take
it,"
Buck looked at her straightfor-
wardly, and to his delight, Bunny re-
turned the glance with equal calm
ness.
But Mrs. Prentiss, as she herself
would have expressed it, could see
through a ladder with a hole in it,
and she realized that Miss Bunny,
whether naive or sly, could>wind Mr.
Todhunter Buck round her adorable
pink little finger, and that she was
quite ready to proceed with and en-
joy the process.
Also, Mr.. Prentiss had the some
what unusual quality of a fine sense
of relative values. And she sized up
accurately and truly, Bunny's sud-
den little squirt of defiance and she
knew that there was something back
of 1t, more than. a missing vanity
case. She knew that Bunny had
something to conceal. and that in
her present mood, she would either
blurt it out, or would tell some eyre
gious lies.
And good Mrs. Prentiss wanted to

contingency.
