SAYS SHE CAN BEAT HUSBAND
AT OWN "GAME," AND PROVES IT
After Marital Quarrel and Separation Mrs. Bella Danov IJnters
Competition in Dressmaking With Spouse He Begs
Court for Protection "Step Lively," Says She.
Can a woman engage in business com
petition with a man and excel him at his
own "game"? Can she walk out of her
husband'B shop and leaving hlii In full
possession of his trade, set up a similar
establishment of her own and by superior
workmanship acquire a clientele that
makes her one-time epouso "throw seven
fits" In a paroxysm of envy?
-She can, according to Mrs. Bella Danov,
of 3009 North !2d street Yesterday
Mrs. Danov had tq defend herself In
court against her husband's charge that
she had set up a rival dressmaking es
tablishment In the same neighborhood
and was ruining his trade.
Plying her needlea Industriously today,
Mrs. Danov (lashed her brown eyes and
enunciated hen. sentiments ln a feminist
fashion that was shriveling to the man
soul "Wontan's day is coming," she said,
"and It's coming soon. The quicker men
realUe this and stop shoving us aside,
thj better it'll be for them. They should
want us as allies, not enemies. And the
sooner they begin to learn that we're
mart enough to beat them at their own
game if we're only given half a chance,
tho better it'll be or them. 'Step lively'
has got to be their motto from now on "
Mrs. Danov declared that professional
jealousy had no part In her make-up.
Having a husband; In the neighborhood
engaged In the same business caused her
no qualms,
"If I'm let alone," she continued, "I
can get along. He was a brute to me.
He beat me and he went out -without tne
and with other women. All I ask is the
8 a week that the court has ordered him
to pay. That Is to take care of our little
boy, I expect by my own efforts to build
up a business ln time ami bo able to take
care of myself' I did the best part of
his business when I lived with him; his
customers always consulted me, I
haven't taken any of them away from
him, but I feel confident of my ability
to get my own."
With an energy that bespoke a "step
lively" attitude on her own part, Mrs.
Danov seated herself at the machine and
began working frantically on a blue
polkadot dress.
"We women hae got brains," she as
serted emphatically!. AU we've got to
have Is the opportunity to show 'era. Give
us a chance, I say. let u vote with the
men and go Into the same business with

THREE BOMBS AIMED
BY GERMAN 'PLANE AT
U. S. SHIP NOW HERE
Officers and CrCew of the
dishing Says Taube
Tried to Send American
Vessel to the Bottom.
One Missile Hit Side.
Tho American steamship Cusblng, which
wns struck by a bomb dropped from n
German Taubo aeroplane, olt tho Uelglnn
coast, nrrlved nt her dock, Schuylkill
River and Passyunk avenue, this morning,
with tho first direct Information bt ought
to this country by survivors of tho vari
ous German attacks, mentioned In Presi
dent Wilson's note to tho Gorman Government.
Captain Lars Lnrscn norland, of tho
Cusblng, which Is an oil tankor belonging
to the Atlantic Refining Company, re
ported to his employers that threo bombs
wero aimed nt tho vessel from a Taubo
at sunset on April 23, when thero wan
sufllclcnt light for tho Germans, who wero
filing low, tt? soo plainly tho largo Amer
ican flag of tho Cushlng nnd tho letters,
painted largo on both sides "Cushlng,
Now York, U. S. A."
; "Tho act of tho men on tho German
nicoplaiiD was lndefeaslblo nnd Inex
cusable," said Captain Herald, "They
could see our flag and tho letters on the
sides of tho ship, six feet ln height. ''A3
soon us tho bombs fell I ordered tho
whittles blown for help and the lifeboats
prepared In cose wo began to sink, for
we could not tell how badly wo were
damaged.
"Part of tho rail on tho starboard sldn
near tho stern was broken, but was re
paired before wo stattcd homo."
SHIP JUST MISSED MINE.
Ono man had a nanow cscapo from
death, the steward, who was standing
near tho spot whole the bomb hit thu
ralL
Pieces of tho steel bomb fell in all
part of tho deck and nearly every member
of tho ciew hns ono of them, n treasured
rtllc.
Tho Cushlng was In dunger a second
tlmo. On tho way home, on May 4, two
days out from Rotterdam, off tho Dutch
coast, a German submarlno was sighted,
laying mines. Members of tho crow said
that tho submarine, while only 100 feet
away, placed a mlno in tho water directly
In tho path of the Cushlng. Tho mlno
had an Iron bar which protruded abovo
tho surface; tho course of tho vessel was
quickly changed and the mlno was
avoided.
Ono of the crew, Antonio Martinez, a
Spaniard, lost his nerve in Rotterdam
and deserted.
Tho attack by tho neroplano hns been
called a mlstako by tho Germans, but
members of tho crow said today that If
there was any mistake It was that tho
men ln the Taubo missed tho smoke
stack of tho Cushlng, at which they ware
evidently aiming. Tho first two bombs
fell in tho water and the third hit the
tall a glancing blow. Then, apparently,
through lack of ammunition, the Taube
flow away.
SAILED FROM THIS TOnT.
Tho Cushlng sailed from Marcus Hook
on Aptil U for Rotterdam, with a cargo
of kerosene consigned for tho Government
of the Netherlands. According to the of
ficial statement of the captain, the Cush
lng, at 7:30 o'clock on April 23, was off
the lightship North Hinder, near the
mouth of the River Schelt, on which Ant
werp Is situated, but not In sight of
hind. The captain and the first mate
were on the bridge and a majority of the
crew of 37 men wero on deck.
An aeroplane was seen coming rapidly
fiom tho direction of the English coast.
It was observed with Interest, but with
out alarm. It hovered only 200 feet In nlr,
above' tho ship.
Suddenly a bomb fell and exploded ln

damage, fell about ono mlnuto after tho
first.
"Tho first bomb exploded In tho water
with tho sound mado by a broadside from
a battleship," said William S. Alexander,
assistant engineer of tho Cushlng. "Tho

Tho Germans could not holp but havo

"It was only the poor marksmanship of

K There wero three Americans on board
