E-lRS. GRAY is interested in
IM her husbands tailoring
@ business, but the home is
her real sphere, she feels.
"I know what Roy is doing in
a general way, but I attend to the
house, and he to his business, and
that way we get along" she said.
"It keeps me pretty busy just
looking after all the details of
running a home. That, you know,
is a real joh-a job for any real
woman"
Mrs. Gray does not drive her
husbands automobile, because her
husband runs 1t whenever the
family takes an outing. She be1
lieves in woman's suffrage, and
thinks all women should vote un-
less some untoward happening
prevents it.

IN BOOK WAR
British Lion Claws Back as
Thompson Continues to
Twist Tail.
HANGMAN TO GET ROLE
Library Inspector Will Have
Executioner Burn All
J. Bull Propaganda.

B1 United Press
CHICAGO. Oct. 22.-Mayor Will
liam Hale Thompson's efforts to oust
the British Lion" from public
schools here and elsewhere today
had developed four new angles.
John j. German, the mayors at
torney, leading the fight to oust
William McAndrew, on trial for in
Subordination and sponsoring Brit
ish propaganda, as superintendent
of schools, was faced with a 100000
damage suit, filed by David Saville
Muzzey.
1t was one of Muzzey's histories
which drew the fire of the mayor.
Attorneys for McAndrews attacked
Thompson for his endeavors, assert
ing the mayor is making Chicago
"the laughing stock of the world"
U. j. Hermann, appointed by
Thompson to inspect the libraries
here for pro-British matter, declared
that any histories found containing
such tendencies would be burned by
the public hangman.
Warning to McAndrew
Mayor Thompson warned Mean
drew that if he were banned from
here, no other city would want him.
The praecipe of the suit against
German, filed in U. S. District Court,
alleges that German has distorted
the text" OF the history, and "wil-
fully misconstrued" certain passages.
The anti-American phrases in the
book are quotations from George
III, at the time of the Revolution
ary War, and do not purport to be
Muzzey's views, the praecipe relates.
Another attack on the Thompson
charges was made by Angus Roy
Shannon, counsel for Superintend-
ent McAndrew.
'The school boards antics are
making Chicago the laughing stock
of the world" Shannon said. "They
are making mockery of the edu-
cational system of our CITY,"
Board Solid for Bill
Six henchmen Of Thompson, sit
ting on the school board, vote as a
unit, and make it impossible for any,
thing like just hearing to be given
on the charges, he asserted.
Meantime, Thompson slapped
back at his opponents with further
allegations: "McAndrew, with his
British ideas, had insulted the
fathers and mothers of Chicago. Be-
fore he gets through, he will learn
that such arrogant insults will not
be tolerated"

White Bride of Japanese
Chooses Death by Gas as
He Did a Year Ago.
BECAUSE | LOVE YOU
Note Left by Husband
Urged Against AnnuIment
of Marriage.

Bu United Press
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Oct. 22-The
last tragic request of viii Idi, little
Japanese waiter, who committed
suicide here a year ago because he
feared his marriage to pretty Lillian
McDaniels, of another race than his,
would be annulled, has been ignored.
In note which Idi penned as he
waited for death after opening gas
jet in his attic room, he wrote:
'Dear My Wife: 7 am going to
kill myselfe now. Lillian I
don't annulled our marry because I
love you. But Lillian, don't
yo utry to kill yourselfe, because you
have nice mother and father. Don't
let them have worry again.
Uses Same Death Method
Lillian died today in local hos
pital, some hours after she had
chosen the same way out of life
that her little husband had taken.
She inhaled gas at the home of her
parents.
The girl, who had married man
named Ashby after her Japanese
lovers death, left no note to tell the
reason for her going. She was sep
arated from her second husband al
most Immediately. Relatives said
she had been melancholy since that
time and seemed to take no inter-
est in life.
Idi committed suicide by locking
himself in an attic and turning on
the gas jets after an attorney had
threatened him with Jail unless his
bride Of three days was sent back to
her parents.
Wrote as Gas Kissed
His final note, which he wrote as
he listened to the Kissing Of gas
pouring into the sealed chamber waa
almost an epic and gained wide pub
licity. After begging his girl wife
to continue living, he wrote:
young lady, can hear sound
Of the gas that killing me, but I
won't die yet. Anyway, I haven't
any hope to save my life If I miss
YOU. I couldn't live without you.
I think death is best way I go"
Finally, he scrawled: IT am hard
to keep write to you now. Well,
good-by. Your William Idi."
Lillian's body will be taken to
Vandalia, Mo-, home Of the par
ents, for burial.

" UR civilization Is built
tn upon q broader base than
any civilization Of the
past, therefore, it's apex will be
higher" DR.. Will Durant, author
of "The Story of Philosophy" told
a general session of the Indiana
State Teachers Association Fri
day night in Cadle Tabernacle,
discussing "Is Progress De-
lusion?".
Judging by the past" Durant
said, "This civilization eventually
will pass away" but he empha-
sized that the findings df this age
and preceding ages Gamble passed
on to the next, giving the future
always a head start"
Durant was introduced by
Lemuel A. Pittenger, Ball Teach
ers' College president. He fol-
lowed Dean Chauncey S. Boucher,
of Chicago University, who spoke
on modern tendencies in higher
cQuCdGlOIls
Ten Steps Of Progress
In tracing the march of civiliza-
ton out of the forest into cities
of skyscrapers, Durant showed
how one civilization by its dis
coveries always advances the next.
"The ladder of progress has ten
rungs," Durant said, speech and
fire being the first two.
"Fire made man master Of the
dark. Once every sunset was a
tragedy and man crept in terror
into his cave-now we don't creep
into ours until dawn" he added.
The conquest and domestication
Of animals and the transition from
hunting to agriculture were the
next two steps, Durant said.
"First came the domestication
of the COW, then the pig, and so
on, until now man is woman's last
domesticated animal and the task
just Is begun" he asserted.

It was the last gesture OF a

a "newsgirl" on Washington street
corners for twenty years. She died
owing no one, and out Of her sup

OLD ORCHARD. Me-, oct. a.
The second attempt of the sesqui-
plane The Dawn to fly across the
Atlantic ended abruptly at 6;33 a.
m. To-Day, when the twin-motored
plane-carrying Mrs. Frances Gray
son and two companions-landed in
the water about 100. yards Off the
beach at 6:33 a. m.
Only a few people were on the
beach when the plane started. When
The Dawn roared down the beach
the first time, wobbled noticeably,
and then failed to take the air,
there many audible gasps from the
spectators.
They recalled the attempt earlier
in the week, when The Dawn was
in the air only a few minutes and
then was forced to return.
But The Dawn was rolled back
into starting position and once again
headed down the runway. This time
it finally took to the air. although
it gained no great height, and then
turned east over the sea.
Gone II Minutes
It was gone about seventeen
minutes, when 1t again appeared,
coming towards Old orchard, and
finally settled in the water about
100 yards off the beach.
The plane was landed skilfully,
skinned over the water, and then
settled easily.
AT $50 a. m. the plane was TAXED
in from the water and brought onto
the beach.
The crowd then on the beach,
numbering about 200, rushed to the
plane and pressed around It.
Mrs. Grayson climbed from the
cabin.
1--WE got as far as Cape Elizabeth
Light" she said, but the load was
too heavy and the plane was in
danger of becoming unmanageable,
so we had to turn back.
"We had to dump about 200 gall
Ions of gasoline to stay up"
Same Trouble Met
Two dump valves on the gas
tanks were open when the plane
come onto the beach.
The trouble was the same as that
which caused The Dawn to return
to Old Orchard on its previous at
tempt.
Even the second false start failed
to discourage Mrs. Grayson.
Scarcely had she alighted than
she announced a third attempt
would be made at about 3 p. m.
today.
I'VE will try to reduce the load
about 200 pounds" she said, land

should be able to get away this
afternoon.
There is no serious trouble with
the weight of the plane, and If the
lead is cut to that extent, we should
be able to fly all right"
Designer Satisfied
Igor Sikorsky, designer OF The
Dawn, was on the beach.
He expressed satisfaction with
the planes performance under an
over-heavy burden, and said he be-
lieved a minor readjustment Of the
load would put The Dawn in shape
for the 3,500-mile fight.
Weather conditions this morning
were the most favorable since Mrs.
Grayson came here, Oct. 10. A
southwest wind would have aided
the fiiers, had they been able to stay
aloft.
