The Century Company tells ns that an Interesting fact about Gilbert Frankau's Hovel, "The Love Story of Aliette Brunton,” to be published by them on May "6 (this is the novel of which English readers absorbed 10.000 copies within a week after publication), is that one of the chief characters seems to represent with some faithfulness the authors mother, Julia Frankan, well known as a novelist under the pseudonym of "Frank Danby.’ The hero's mother, in "The Love Store of Aliette Brtinton.*’ is a famous novelist, and she, fofhierly an opponent even of divorce, fights off death most desperately while she finishes a novel which shall show the world the wrong it is doing in making social outcasts of Ler son and "daughter’’ who are actually man and wife but cannot be legally married. The descriptions of this Interesting and piquant character have been selected by English critics for the highest praise. h "To produce a self-governing being, Riot to produce a being to lie governed by others.” Such is the ideal for the home laid down by Spencer, and on this text Dr. Stephen S. Wise bases his discussion of "'hild Versus I'jrent: The Irrepressible Conflict in th Home.” Dr. Wise is strongly in f or of democracy in the home, and he emphasizes parental responsibility n ;her than parental authority and the need of teaching the art of service rather than the pursuit of happiness. Dr. Wise is known throughout the country as founder and rabbi of the Free Synagogue. This institution represents the extreme of liberal or radical Judaism. but Dr. Wise is a loyal defender of every Jewish cause, even though he Is grouped with the left wing. The tuthor says of bis reason for writing this new book: "Tine and again I have to avert conflict in the home. This little volume is uiy answer to those who wish the viewpoint of a Jewish teacher in our day touching these problems."— t<The Macmillan <’• mpany.) MAY BOOKS.

SUMMER BEAUTY HINT
Hair is by far the most conspiou-! ous thing about us and is probably the most easily damaged by bad or \ careless treatment. If we are very j careful in hair washing, we will have virtually no hair troubles. An especially fine shampoo for this weather, one that brings out all the j natural beauty of tne hair, that dissolves and entirely removes all dandruff, excess oil and dirt, can easily be used at trifling expense hy simply dissolving a teaspoonful of canthrox (which you can get at any ! druggist's), in a cup of hot water. This makes a full oup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply j it to all the hair instead of just the j top of the head. This chemically! dissolves all impurities and creates a \ soothing, cooling lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft; and pliant, while the hair takes on j the glossy richness of natural color, also a fluffiness which makes it seem ; much heavier than it is. After can-! throx shampoo, arranging the hair is i a pleasure.—Advertisement. |

Big Emma , ‘Lifter’ Queen , Meets Death in Poverty * ■ - ■■■—■■ ■ —i Once Wealthy Leader of Thief Band Kills Companion and Herself.
CHICAGO, May 23. —Musty police records were brought to light today and an amazing story of the career of Mrs. Emma Weir, “the mtllion-dollar lifter,” was constructed. Mrs. Weir and her inseparable companion, Mrs. Rickey Gunther, were found dead in the Weir home yesterday. Mrs. Weir, according to the police, jvas known as “Big Emma” and for years was the directing head of one of the most notorious bands of shoplifters in Chicago. More than a dozen years ago it was elicited the plunder taken by the band aggregated more than $1,500,000. So daring and clever were "Big Emma's” methods, police say, that apprehension of her or her associates was extremely difficult. Tlte police believe “Big Emma’s" career tame to an end by suicide that followed murder. The body of Mrs. Gunther was bruised and bore evidence of violence. Mrs. Weir’s body, with a gas tube in the mouth, was found in another room and between this room and where Mrs. Gunther lay were several tightly closed doors. Mrs. Gunther's daughter and neigh-
OUIJA BOARDERS . CHICAGO, May 23.—Love sick girls by the scores are being driven to the point of suicide by the onija hoard, according to Gen. Dalllngton-Booth of New Y’ork, president of the Volunteers of America, who U a visitor here today. “The outja board tells a girl her sweetheart doesn’t love her,” sold Gen. Booth. "She then decides to end It all.” He said the oulja board, already abolished In some States, should be legislated out every where.
bors of Mrs. Weir declare the two had quarreled after years of closest friendship and Mrs. Weir had promised to see that “we both go to sleep and never awaken.” Many innovations in shoplifting were credited to “Big Emma” during her career. She is said to have introduced the “split skirt," with improvised pockets beneath, in which thousands of dollars’ worth of loot was carried from stores. In the hey-day of her career “Big Emma" used to drive to the shopping district with a stylish “four-in-hand” drawn by blooded horses. Members of "Big Emma's” gang finally were apprehended by the police and many are now in prison. The woman herself served a short term in Joliet prison. With the breaking up of her band, poverty came to “Big Emma’ and she died.
