most of her married life?
Love-taps of this violent ma
ture seem to have figured very
prominently in the divorce news
recently, one husband having
gone so far as to turn his in
subordinate wife across his knee
and SPANK her thoroughly.
This was against all the
Marquis of Queensbury rules,
according to her lawyer. ANY
woman, he commended, would
rather be knocked down and
have her eye blackened than be
spanked like a baby.
Tommyrot! What does a
MAN-even a lawyer-know
about such things? If there
is one thing on earth that a
normal woman loves, it is to
be 'babied." 1t makes her
feel so little and young and
"cute." It proves to her that
her reducing diet and her
facials have given her that
'little-girl" effect and have
not been wasted. To be
spanked like a baby''-what
greater proof of love could q

WORSE THAN WAR

Whatever else may happen during
1884, it is a practical certainty that more
than 10000 Americans will be killed in
traffic accidents, and another 100000 in
jured.
1t is strange that the awful death toll
of automobiles does not serve as a warning
to drivers and pedestrians alike, but it ap-
pears that it does not. Many persons who
worry over germs or minor dangers of
other sorts will take chances on the high
ways which are bound to sooner or later
end in disaster.
As recent statistics show, three times
as many casualties result from automobile
accidents in a single year as were suf-
fered by United States forces during the
entire World War. The war cost more
lives, but the. automobile is responsible for
more injured
~ Among the yearly automobile deaths
are those of about 1000 children of school
age, the, greatest number being between
the. ages of six and twelve years The
greatest number of accidents occur be-
tween five and six o'clock in the afternoon.
Drivers and pedestrians are about equally
at fault in their responsibility for acct
dents, according to the best estimates avail
able.
While the automobile is an indis-
pensable convenience of modern life, it has
already caused the death of almost as
many persons as were killed in battle in all
the American armies since the founding OF
the Republic.

DREYFUs IS rs

Press dispatches noting the 18th
birthday Of Alfred Dreyfus, spent in .
Paris hospital, recalled one of the most
celebrated cases of persecution Of modern
times. in which an innocent mans life was
wrecked through forged and perjured tes-
timony.
In 1894, when captain in the French
army, Dreyfus was convicted of offering to
sell military secrets to foreign power.
presumably Germany, and sentenced to
life Imprisonment. After being publicly
degraded before his regiment, his sword
broken and all insignia of rank stripped
from his uniform, he was sent to Devils Is
land, French penal station off the coast
of South Africa.
The Dreyfus case agitated France for
several years. In 1893 Colonel Henry Of
the war office confessed to forging docu-
ment against Dreyfus, and committed
suicide A new trial resulted in a 10-yeaI
sentence for Dreyfus, but with recon-
mendation to mercy, and he was pardoned
by President Loubet in 1899. He was
finally indicated by the highest French
court in 1908 and restored to the army
with the rank of major.
He never fully recovered from the eff
fects of the terrible. ordeal through which
he had passed, but continued in the army,
and served with distinction during the
world war, in which his son was killed in
action. In 1919 he was decorated with the
Gross of the Legion of Honor and retired.
Since then he has withdrawn from society
and lives a most secluded life.
Dreyfus is in feeble health and almost
blind, and his main occupation is collect
ing postage stamps to be left to his favOrite
grandson. He has never publicly dis
cussed the great injustice from which nc
suffered, and which has clouded his life.
When he was falsely accused of trea-
son he was considered one of the brightest
of young French officers. standing among
the first 10 graduates of the School of
War, and a member of the general staff.
Forgery and perjury on the part of his
enemies probably prevented his rise to the
highest rank He reached only the rank
of liutenant-colonel.

STORY ON LINDBERGH TRAGEDY

occasional visit to New York, where
he might gravely imbibe prohibition
beer in one of the more respectable
speakeasies that abounded in the
upper 'fifties during that era.
Backstairs Romance
Beyond that, he had permitted
himself the luxury of falling in love
with young woman who had join
ed the staff of 20 servants some
two years previously. 1t appeared
to be understood that Septimus
Banks was keeping company with
Violet Sharpe, personable Eng
lish serving maid, and that some
day they would be married.
Whether Banks dignity palled up
on her, or whether she was by ma
ture inclined to flirtatiousness, Vio-
let occasionally tempered the strict
bonds of her betrothal by outside
excursions which would greatly
have upset the estimable butler had
he been aware of what was going
on.
So it came about that, on SUM-
day afternoon before the kidnap-
ing, while Violet and her sister,
Edna, were walking in their Sab
bath finery just outside the town,
a young gentleman named "Ern-
est" offered them a ride in his au-
tomobile, and they accepted. Be-
fore the girls had reached the Nor
row home, Violet had agreed to a
date with Ernest, for the evening of
Tuesday, March l.
Servants Questioned
The police questioning of the 90
Morrow servants and the three
Lindbergh servants, all of whom
were on the friendliest of terms,
had proceeded methodically and
smoothly Each servant, under the
insistent questioning of the various
detectives, had been able to meet
the most searching of inquisitions
into their lives, into their where
abouts on the night of the kidnap-
ing, and into their associates. But
when Violet was questioned, the po-
lice were puzzled by an amazing
attitude of defiance.
Violet's moods, under the per-
sonal investigation, ran the gamut
of emotions. BY turns she would
be stubbornly silent and hysterical-
ly garrulous. She would be saucy,
pert and change to a tone of sui
len anger. She lied about her en-
gagement on the night of March
l, and as she lied she winked, over
her shoulder at the housekeeper.
Her story was that she had gone
to a movie, on the night of the
kidnapping, with Ernest" whose last
name she did not know.

STAR
The Babe we love SO dear.
Upon His little bed of hay,
All wrapped in swaddling bands,
Our blessed Savior Jesus lay,
The King of all the lands.
In the heavens so very. bright,
A wonderful star did shine,
Giving forth its radiant light.
For this was the promised sign.
And shepherds tending flocks by
night,
On fields so far below,
Did see this glorious sight
And knew Gods words were SO.
Three wise men of the land
Set forth the Babe to seek
Though rich with treasures grand,
Before Him they were meek.
They were amazed, for 10.
He came not as great king
For is it not SO?
He came a helpless little thing.

The most precious that ever was
