ACTRESS AVERSE TO HOUSEWORK Gertrude Elliott Thinks Communal Cooking Best. LONDON. May I.—Washing dishes and other kitchen work makes no hit with Lady Forbes Robertson, more familiarly known as Gertrude Elliott. And she only plays at snsh work as cook in “Come Out of the Kitchen,'’ which has Just been produced here. *‘We women shall all be much happier when domestic service is done away with altogether,” she declared. “I am for communal kitchens and communal house workers. “If we must have domestics, they should work in relays of two or three hours a shift. *'T believe it would be better to h:iTe a d' -en happy workers cooking for forty homes than to have forty cooks working indifferently In individual home*. "Personally, of all branches of housework, I should hate cooking most and love scrubbing best. “Os course, domestic work Is honorable for a girl, and I think many girls would be happy to do it If only their employers would concede decent conditions.” BAD TEETH NOT INSANITY CAUSE Ohio Specialists Disagree With Theory of Jersey Man. CINCINNATI. 0., May 1. Local specialists are not ready to accept the theory recently proclaimed by Dr. Henry A. Cotton, New Jersey scientist. ?hat insanity is due oftener to a very poisonous germ at the base of the teeth or in diseased tonsils than to diseases of the brain. "The theory is too new to be practical," said Dr. Sidney Rauh of the public school dental clinic. “There are some oases of Insanity arising from Infected teeth, usually the ‘wisdom’ teeth, hut these cases are of mechanical origin rather than due to a germ.” “I am sure if Dr. Cotton has fonnd insanity originating In bactterla of teeth, or tonsils, these examples are only a small percentage," declared Dr. Emerson A. North, superintendent cf Longview hospital. “Degeneration of the eelis of the brain is the usual theory of Insanity a origin, but degeneracy of some other part of the body may cause Insanity,” commented Dr. Louis Strieker, in charge ■if the Hamilton county pension fund for the blind. He believed the new theory is a phase of a current fad for ascribing most of the body's ills to diseased teeth. J.

Rhvmes.gthe Tflne^ Apple Pie? Oh My! They have raised the price of autos, and not a word I’ve said. And the government has taxed me for my clothes from toes to head, They’ve even banned my cider, but the thing that makes me sigh, Is the way these "hashers” serve me, when I ask for apple pie. Oh, I well recall the pleasure I used to have you see, When hungrily I ordered, “Make it apple pie for me,” Such a big, broad cut they gave me, just a quarterpie, you know, And a nickel ’s all they charged me. but now— Oh, what a blow! Why, it’s sad enough to ponder on the prices they demand, But the blow that’s hit the hardest, almost more than I can stand Is they’ve hired a fraction expert, with a calculating eye, To figure out the angle to carve my apple pie. If they’d boost the price of stogies, ’r charge me for the air My lungs to fill, I’m thinkin’, I really wouldn’t care But the liberties they’ve taken, it’s depressingly quite sad The shrinkage in my apple pie, it's enough to drive one mad.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.

CHAPTER XXIV. In the story before this we left Puss Junior in the Giant s castle, you remember, and I’ll tell you right now I hated to do it, and if that dear little dove hadn’t told me the Giant was really a very kind man I should have been worried to death. “Now. what will you have to eat, kitten?” ask and the Giant, with a grin. “Give me a saucer of cream and a piece of fish," said Puss, aud he curled his whiskers and flicked a piece of dust off his red-topped boot as if he had always been used to dining with giants and other big people. And after supper the Giant took out his great pipe and smoked until the afr was so Cloudy that the little dove couldn’t be seen at all. And then the great clock in the hail struck nine and the Giant said: ”T!me for kitten* to be in bed.” And then the twinkle, twinkle star came out and shone through the window and sang a little lullaby: “Sleep, little pussy cat, sleep. The little white cloud* are like sheep That play all’the night while the moon's shining bright. Sleep, little pussy cat. sleep.” And when Puss. Junior, woke up in the morning the sun was shining in through the window and it was time to get up. So he hurriedly dressed, for he didn’t know what time the Giant had breakfast nml he didn't want to be late, and when lie reached the dining room the Giant was just sitting down to buckwheat C3kes and maple syrup. And pretty soon the Giant took Pus* out to the stables and showed him all his horses. And then he said. “I have a verv small horse which 1 will give to you” And then he took Puss into another stable and there stood the Good Gray Horse, only, of course, he seemed like' a pony to the Giant, for his other horses were all giant horses, yon see. And wasn't Puss glad to see his old frirnd. Well. I guess he was.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A New Serial of Young Married Life —By ANN LISLE.

CHAPTER XXIV '•Patriotism'' is a word I have always been able to speak quite glibly. In fact, I've always thought that I meant something when I said it-Love of countrywaving flags -cheering parades -applaudnoble speeches saving two dollars a week to pnv for a liberty bond-giving up candv so the Red Cross might have my money and the soldiers might share It "T think this Is about the way the war hnd come home to me up to the moment when I discovered that my husband, the mnn to who I hnd been married less than a fortnight, was going to be caught up by the war again and swept over the sea to the battlefields of France. The day's events whirled clnema-fash-ion across my brain. I saw a moving picture reel. The apartment Tom Mason bad offered me-the Veya of Betty Bryce a home—Capt. Winston, rekindling before my eyes Jim's longing to be a soldier again—the letter from the war department. which I had hidden lest his dismissal from the army spoil Jim's dinner with another soldier, one who was free to serve! I stood leaning against the bureau where I had staggered for support at the moment when it came to me that perhaps my husband was not being “taken” by a cruel war department, out might have volunteered to go back to France. There was silence between us. At last Jim ventured to break it. He spoke very gravely, and I felt that in the crials love would not count In my favor. “I did ask to be reassigned to active duty. Why not? Making apeeches and doing recruiting work isn't my Job. I’m a trained aviator. They need me.” I wanted to fling my arms around him again, to crush him close against my quivering body—to use every lure f voice and charm to hold him. But Instinctively I knew that it would do no good. Jim was all soldier now. The wiles that might hold a man, a lover, would onlv repel him. “You think you are fit for active service?” -I questioned. I do. I'm practically sure of It. Tills limp won't matter when I'm flying.” Jim spoke gravely, as if he were discussing the matter with another man. He seemed quite unaware that be was alone with his wife —the woman he loved. “It's 11:15. Will you call the porter on the phone, Anne, and have him get me a berth on the train for Washington? There’s one In about an hour. I'll pack up while you attend to that.” I carried out his bidding mechanically —made reservations and discussed plans with the porter quite as if it was the editor of Haldane's magazine for whom I was arranging—and 1 again “Barbara Lee,” efficient business woman. "Was this before you met me?” I asked. Jim looked up impatiently from the bag he was packing: “Was what before I met you?” “Your application— to the war department?" “I don'* Just remember—what does it matter? I dared not tell him—bat to mo it

"Oh. I’m so glad to see you.

Well, after n while they came to 11 little cottage all covered with a climbing rose vine. And In till* cottage lived a shepherd and hi* wife, who tended the sheep In the big meadow e!o*o by. “Are they little Bo Peeps?" asked Puss, but the kind faced shepherd *nld “No.” *0 J’usa rode on. and In the next storv I will tell you what happened after that. —mm ™ (To be Continued-)

Martinez was found later and a quizzing by police discloses that the eoupie were spending their “honeymoon” in tho deserted shanty, after young Martinez had “performed a marriage ceremony” for them. Martinez said that he and the girl Intended to bo married in a legal manner, but he wss told that because of their age they could not obtain a marriage license. “Then we went through a marriage ceremony of our own,” said the youth. “1 pledged myself to be Margaret’s husband for all time, and to love, honor and protect her. “Margaret made a similar pledge to me, and we thought that was enough, as this Is our business and neither the police nor any one else has a right to butt In.” But Chief of .

During the month of April we gave all of our Indianapolis trade 100', of contract tonnages. This was remarkable service under strike conditions. We make no promises for May, but we hope to do as well. But we can not increase shipments above the contract quotas for the month. We may have to fall below the May quotas to help out-of-town customers who are in distress. The cost of the coal in a ton of coke in April increased about $3.00 over the cost in March, yet we supplied the Indianapolis trade at last winter’s price. We do not yet know what prices we must establish for this season, and pending a decision we will increase the price for May only 50 cents per ton. We expect to make further advances, but we will not base them on present coal costs unless these prove to be permanent. We do not control retail prices. After the coal leaves our hands dealers can charge what they please for it. We do not pretend to decide what is a reasonable margin between wholesale and retail prices. It is doubtless much greater than it was a few years ago. Up to this time we have not increased our price since last fall and we are increasing it only 50 cents now. But our price will doubtless have to advance after May and our deliveries are not likely to be as good as they were last month. And the dealers’ margin is not likely to be decreased soon. Therefore, we urge coke users to place their orders as early as possible and to ask for early deliveries. Citizens Gas Company
