SEA WALL To BE
REPLACED

A new steel sea wall. 800 feet
long and designed to Withstand
the most severe storms of the
Chesapeake Bay, will be built at
North Beach. Md, in the near
future.
The new sea wall will replace
the present concrete structure
which was badly battered by
storms during the past year. The
new wall, which will be one foot
higher than the present one, will
begin at Bay Avenue on the south
side Of First Street, and will end
on the north side Of Third Street.
Plans just completed by the
Maryland State Roads Commis-
sion call for a steel sheep piling

WORK
IS ACCLAIMED

Washington yesterday after
noon had an unusual opportunity
to hear an excellent program OF
chamber music played by an en-
semble from the National Sym
phony Orchestra, conducted by
DR.. Hans Kinder.
The program was presented
at the United States Chamber Of
Commerce auditorium, through
the munificence Of Mrs. Eliza
beth Sprague Coolidge, and it
comprised in its scope the works
Of many composers Of chamber
music, from the days of Bach,
Vivaldi, and Corelli to the
present.
Bach's suite in C minor was
the second selection of the con-
cert, following Vivaldi's "Adagio,"
and in the suite Dominick Iascone
was heard as flute soloist.
Corelli's "Pastorale," Gluck's
"Musette" and Schube r t's
"Deutsche Taenze" came next,
and then the "Siegfried Idyl" Of
Wagner, which has been played
this season by the whole person
mel of the National Symphony.
The only modern number on
the original program, and for
several reasons the most inter
esting, was ReSpighi'S - dptych
After Botticelli," which is dedi-
Gated to Mrs. Coolidge. This
work, still in the manuscript
stage, seeks to express in musical
form the artistry Of the great
Florentine painter.
AS encoreS the group played
Rimsky- y-Korsakoff's Flight Of a
Bundle Bee," and Jarnefelt's
"Preludium."

Mysterious Exile

Fourteen days after the
day of execution a seaman
aboard a ship bound from
Bordeaux to Charleston,
S. c., recognized upon the
quarterback the face and
figure of the general he had
served under. Certain it is
that one Peter Stewart Ney
landed in Charleston on
January 20, 1916, 50 days
after the reported execution.
For three and a half years
this mysterious exile lived
in the closest retirement.
Then he emerged to be a
school teacher for the next
81 years, and to make
friends with the best known
citizens of the community,
all of whom convinced them
selves by a long array of
facts that the schoolmaster
was none other than the
great marshal.
He was in his schoolroom
in 1921 when a newspaper,
brought to him by one of
his pupils, announced the

Ney Executed?

But there is one belief
that will not down, one in
deed which is supported by
some extraordinary facts,
and a stack Of affidavits
made by the most reputable
persons of an entire COM
munity. And that is the
belief that the famous Mar
shal Ney, greatest of Ma
poleon generals, was not
executed by a firing squad
of King Louis XVIII, but
escaped to the United
States and lived out his
life as a school teacher in
North Carolina, and died in
bed at the age of II. Just
the other day this writer
assembled the known facts
in the case Of Peter Stewart
Ney-call him Marshal Ney,
if you like-and looked over
a sheaf of affidavits sent
from North Carolina-affi-
davits startling in their sim
ceritv and in their unes-
capable implications.
History tells us that
Michael Ney, marshal Of
France, condemned by the
Council of Peers, was taken
to the place of execution in
Paris on the morning of
December 7, 1915. The
marshal walked calmly to
the spot of execution. He
refused to have his eyes
bandaged. With his two
hands upon his breast he
cried out: OOldlers,
straight to the heart! Vive
la France! Fire!" There
was an instant crash of
musketry and the marshal's
body slumped to the ground.
Almost Immediately it was
whispered through Paris
that the execution squad
had fired over Marshal
Ney's head and that he
had been smuggled out of
France by powerful friends,
of whom the English Duke
of Wellington, his foeman
in battle, was one.

Adopt some line of undertak-

Don't be satisfied with merely

Evolve facts that have been

You'll be surprised how your

ONCE OVERS
Handling Money.


In some homes the wife Is
the spender, but isn't it a
fact, Mr.. Married Man, that if
it were not for the saving abil-
ity of a wife, nothing would be
laid aside for the future?
Most wives are good finan-
cial managers if given an op-
portunity to handle the family
purse.
Most men are too easy when it
comes to shopping around and
buying to advantage, and will
fall for any good argument
from a peddler.
Women look under the sur
face and can detect the faker
from the really deserving per-
son who has things to sell.
Men like to make show while
out with their friends and be-
come too liberal altogether.
Women are more lnSlstent
than men on paying their share
when out with a group OF
friends.
Some of them figure it down
to a cent, too, while they are
about it.
The men who turn their
money over to their wives, and
keep only small amount for
themselves have good excuse for
not being too liberal.
While someone else may gain
by such a procedure, you will be
most highly rewarded.

True Resting Place

And presently, to the
right of these noble figures,
| read a great name carved
in bold relief upon white
stone: "To the memory
of Michael Ney, Prince Of
Messina and of Moskowa,
Duke of Elghingen and
Hero of the Beresina." " And
my thoughts went across
the sea to the rustic
churchyard of Third Creek
Church, a little way from
Salisbury, N. G.
For in that churchyard,
is a rude stone bearing this
simple Inscription: "ln
Memory of a Native of
France, and a Soldier of
the French Revolution un-
der Napoleon Bonaparte,
Who Departed This Life
November Is, 1916, Aged
Seventy-seven Years THE
simple stone that marks the
last resting place of the
country schoolmaster, Peter
Stewart Ney.
And I cannot help but
think that the little stone
in the North Carolina
churchyard marks the true
resting place Of the great
gentleman and great soldier
who followed the star Of
Napoleon and the Eagles Of
France until the one was ex-
tinguished and the wings
of the other lay broken in
the dust.

He may yet be a nameless
illegitimate in New York!
Has your child legally inner
tied part of his fathers estate
in Vermont, Arizona, Louisiana,
Michigan?
He may not be entitled to a
penny of it in the rest of the
country!
In short, under our present
conditions, divorce is What-have-
you and marriage is Where-are-
you in these United States Of
America. And it's a wise child
who knows his own father, or
the status of his own mother,
once he crosses State line.
So then, what?
Should we allow this catch
as-catch-can condition to con-
tinue?
Or should our Federal Gov
eminent give the wives, hus-

children of America as/ wide
consideration as it now gives to
dope sellers, Smugglers and

lection as it now affords pigs,

In other words, are marriage,
divorce and child custody suf-
ficiently important problems
for Federal supervision, or just
small chores for State legisla-
tion?
The National Divorce Reform
League think they are matters
for Federal supervision. It
believes we should have uni
form marriage, divorce and Gus
tody laws in every State of the
Union, just as we're on the way
to have uniform work and wage
laws. And they've drawn up a
tentative law, as follows:

King Cryptic

King Louis PHILIPPE made
a curious comment to an
American years after this
incident. The King re-
marked: "You and I are
both Masons of high degree.
So was Marshal Ney"
Just before he died DR..
Locke, his physician and an
old pupil, entered his room.
"Mr. Ney," said DR.. Locke,
according to an affidavit
read by this writer, you
have but a short time to live.
We would like to know from
your own lips who you are
before you die -
The old sc h o ol master
raised himself on one elbow,
looked DR.. Locke full in the
face and replied: "I am Mar
shal Ney of France -.
Those were the last words
that passed his lips. Could
a man of such unblemished
honor lie down to die with a
lie upon his lips? Never
before had he proclaimed
himself the great marshal
of Napoleon.
It was only when he felt
upon his brow the chill touch
of the dark angel, when all
earthly things were fading,
and only truth counted, that
he said: Il am Marshal
Ney." In the ancient ceme-
terry of Pere la Chaise, in
Paris, where lovely old trees
sweep the very ground with
their mournful draperies,
and foliage and flowers
make a place not so much Of
grief and sorrow as of beauty
and peace, l sought one day
for the tomb of Marshal Ney.
1t was a long time before
[ could come upon it, for |
paused to raise my hat at the
tomb of Sarah Bernhardt and
to stand for a long time be-
fore the loveliest object in
all that garden of sleep, two
scultured figures, high up
raised upon a pedestal and
carved in the purest marble
"a young girl and a young
man, almost taking wing. She
is caught in his sheltering
arms. Her face is upturned
to his. The finely chiselcd
features are resplendant with
love and tenderness. The
evening shadows falling over
Pere la Chaise brought into
gentle relief the faces Of the
teacher, Abelard, and of his
pupil, Heloise.

Strange how the rumor
persists that Ivar Kreuger,
arch-swindler of m o d er n
times, did not shoot HIM
self, but is in hiding, with
stolen millions, somewhere
in the Far East. All his
tory is clouded with such
doubts of an earthly end.
Some of those doubts have
ripened into hard and fast
legends. And the Kreuger
legend will take its place in
history, likely, with the tale
that John Wilkes Booth,
Lincoln's assassin, was not
slain in a Virginia barn but
lived to old age in Okla
homa.
DR.. Clarence True Will
son, dry leader, is one of
those, l believe, who is con-
vinccd of the truth of the
Booth legend. Then there
is the recent fantastical
story that Capt. Albert
Lowenstein, the Belgia n
financial magnate, did not
perish when he fell or leaped
from an airplane over the
E n g lis h Channel. The
chances are a thousand to
one-a million to one
against any of these fasci-
mating yarns being true.

mands everything, but says
nothing about marriage. At
forty, we are more suspicious of
the man who proposes marriage,
wants eve rything-but says
nothing about LOVE.
Forty is the age when a wom-
an worries half the time for
fear of losing her gigolo-and
the other half for fear she won't
be able to get rid of him.
At forty, when a man gazes
at you intently, you wonder
whether he is registering inter-
est-or merely counting the
crowsfeet and those fine lines
under the eyes.
Don't kid yourself into be-
lieving it's LOVE, when you
have that yearning to "look
after" a man. It's just your
mother instinct manifesting it.

2. Defendant in divorce suit
must appear in court. If he
fails to do so the court shall

him.
3. If defendant is resident of
State in which suit is brought,
he or she must be served with

party can contract a second

Z. A divorce which is granted
in one State shall be recognized

Well, what do you think Of it?
If YOU were drafting such a
law, would YOU make those
provisions?
Would those be your only
grounds for divorce? How about
social disease? How about
fraud? How about that reason
which really causes 999 out of
every 1000 divorces-common
cussed incompatibility? Would,
or wouldn't you, permit these
additional grounds?
Alimony-Would you permit
that in the case of a healthy,
childleSs woman of working
age?
Visitation of parents-if a par
ent is not adjudged fit to share
custody, would you permit vista
ton of such parent?
Do you believe a uniform,
Federal law for these matters
is feasible at all? Or do you be-
lieve in letting the States draft
their own statutes, and letting
married folks and their young
sters take their chances, as
they're doing now?
