The trial of the school teacher in
\v isconsin for killing the wife of the
man with whom she was Infatuated,
on the plea of "love gone mad,"
ought to serve as a lesson to men
and women generally.
She lost her heart —and head—to
a veterinary surgeon. He had a
wife who declined to give him up.
The school teacher shot her, then
made an unsuccessful attempt to
take her own life.
Could she have thought that she
would take the legal place of the
woman she killed?
Imagine two people sitting at a
prosaic meal like breakfast, with a
hideous domestic skeleton like that
grinning at them from behind the
coffee cups or the cereal dish.
There would be all sorts of impos
sible associations; the way the pres-1
ent wife poured coffee would recall
the coffee-pouring methods of her
predecessor. Then the husband
would remember other things—th
way his wife looked after she was
k Hied, her burial, the trial, ,the
wrangle of the lawyers, the drag
ging into broad daylight of every
Incident of the school teacher's life.
The "man in the case" will proba
bly say, when he thinks these
things over, "not for me." He will
seek green fields and pastures new,
and If he marries again he will
marry some young girl whose his
tory is still a white page.
If, however, he should happen to
be the one man in a thousand and
marry the woman who killed for
his sake—no one need envy their
domesticity. There will be too
many ranting skeletons around that
household to make it livable.
Life is so magnificently worth
while, such a splendid fish pond in
which all sorts of prizes are com
ing to properly baited hooks, that
one is tempted to ask why human
creatures will throw everything to
the discard for a moment of riotous
emotion. For In the beginning, these
prand passions are within the grasp
of sane people.
If tbi school teacher had been
wise sh would have realized she
was beclssnhig too fond of another
woman's husband and would have
sought new surroundings. Wau
kesha, Wisconsin, may be a highly
attractive town, but it is not the
world. The woman who killed her
rival was a teacher in the high
school; it is not difficult for a wo
man thus equipped to find a new
situation.
She might .have gone to a big
city where there would be greater
opportunities than in a little town
in the Middle West. She mighti
even have gone to France and work
ed for heroic people. If she had
thrown herself into such work, heart
and soul, "fate" would have dealt
happiness instead of tragedy.
But she stayed where everything'
served to send her case from bad I
to worse; she stayed where she saw
the man, she saw his wife, the sight
bf whom goaded her to jealous fury;
the very street and houses served to
recall her unfortunate love affair.
'And one fine day she fired the pis
tol.

ing that life might give her will

could only see the final chapters of
some of these affairs, they would
hesitate a long time before taking
the step toward violence.
Some years ago I was in Pisa, the|
Italian city famous for its leaning
tower. An American couple in the
same hotel spoke to me in the
lobby, and asked if I would sit at;
their table. I didn't "know them,
or anything about them, and their
only excuse was that we all spoke
English. I don't remember whether
they culled themselves Smith, Jonesi
or Robinson; it, doesn't matter. They!
spent all their time asking questions'
like, "Are there many changes in!
Forty-second street? We hear the.
theaters have all moved uptown." i
Living in the heart of a wonder-1
ful old medieval town, their most|
treasured collection was a bundle I
of Amerifcan postcards that fellow
travelers whom they had met in
Pisa had sent back to them.
They seemed famished for talk—
commonplace talk about restaur
ants, shops, hats, fashions, any
thing on earth but about the coun
try where they told me they had
lived for ten years.
I wondered continually why, when
they craved for Broadway, they con
tinued to etop in Pisa; then, one day,
came the explanation. The woman
lent me a book; on the fly leaf was a
name with which, the readers of
newspapers were familiar ten years
! back; both had families, from which
they had eloped.
Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
HE MEANS TO BE UNSELFISH
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I have been going about with a man
a year next month. We are insepar- '
able and enjoy each other's company
and always have good times. We are
very much in love with *each other,
and he has said so many times some
day you and I are going to very
happy, of course, referring to mar
riage, but he has never asked me to
marry him. I often wonder if he takes
for granted that we are engaged.
This man is in the service, and I
have felt that this was his reason for
not asking me during war time.
BETTY C.
I don't think men very often take
engagements for granted. Probably
he means to spare you and feels that
it is not right to call up to much
feeling just now when he is going
overseas, and you might have to pay
so dearly for your love. Of course,
any woman who is fine and strong Is
ready to pay and to stand by her sol
dier boy and sacrifice good times and
comfort and peace of mind for him—
but men.do not know that. Perhaps
tact and sweetness and a little discus
sion of the problem of soldier mar
riages can be managed. You ought
te be able to talk the thing out with
your boy aqd to make it all clear.
LIFE'S PROBLEMS i FLYING WITH SHAFFER
ARE DISCUSSED AN UNSATISFACTORY FIGHT
By MRS. WILSON WOODROW LETTERS FROM A DAUPHIN' BOY TO HIS MOTHER
The idle girl is now almost as
I rare as a roc's egg and all signs
I point to her complete disappear
: ance. She will soon be as extinct as
i the dodo.
And strange to say, the passing of
I "Lydia Languish" is marked by no
! funeral bells. She belonged to yes
terday, and she passes unregretted
into its mists.
In Wisconsin the Speakers' Bu
reau is planning a great offensive.
A special drive is to be made against
"the idle girl, the girl with no defi
nite plans for the future, the girl
who is not now preparing herself for
useful work." She is not to be per
mitted to feel that the obligation to
help win the war rests only on her
brother. Her responsibility is just as
great. And if the Speakers' Bureau
has anything to do with it, she will
have no chance to shirk.
If one can judge by the spirit of
women all over the country, there
will be no counter offensive tj thest
drives. The drone in the hive is El
ready and on her own initiativt
transforming herself into the busy
bee.
The 1918 young woman is no
longer just a play-girl. She is a
work-and-play girl, and she enjoys
one quite as wholeheartedly as she
does the other. But she is at pres
ent considerably more interested in
the work than In the play. Not only
because ( the work leads her into
many new fields, but also because in
doing it she is helping to "carry on"
in the great cause for which her
brothers and sweethearts are fight
ing.
The spirit of the hour is strlkinglyi
reflected in the letters I am receiv
ing, especially from those young
girls. A year ago letters written oy
girls of the same age were more in
trospective, or were filled with iho
details of the love that wouldh't run
smooth. But now the greater num
ber of them express the longing for
service.
One girl writes me: "I read so
much about the great struggle pro
ins on across the sea, and I know
that this is the day of big things.
I want to. do my bit, no matter how
small. T couldn't afford to buy a
Liberty Bond, but I am buying Thrift
Stamps. Still I want to do some
thing more to help."
Another says: "I am a yofang girl
who has nothing to do with her time
all day long. I feel ashamed not to
be doing something, and I am very

unhappy about it. Can't you suggest
something for me to do?"
A third writes: "I so long to be
able to do something worth while.
I am young and strong and very
bright. Please tell me what to do."
Of course in none of these cases
could I say, "I would do this or I
would do that," because I know
nothing whatever of these girls, their
circumstances, capabilities and pow
ers of endurance.
But I can at least give them some
idea of what is being done all over
i the country, and I hope It may sug
gest some occupation which would
suit them and for whiah they would
care to fit themselves. There is cer
tainly a wide range of choice offered
women at the present time.
The State of Pennsylvania has es
tablished classes of training wom
en which include such branches as
stenography, telephone, nurses' aid,
filing, motor-mechanics, telegraphy.
Red Cross work, war cookery, wire
less, teaching the blind, draughting,
farm traction and agriculture. And
other states are organizing similar
classes.
Lydia Languish would swoon if
she saw that list of occupations for
women, and the grandmothers of
most of us would undoubtedly turn
over in their graves.
We hear on every, side that the
demand for nurses is greater than
the supply, and this is also true of
trained and experienced teachers.
I asked some one who was up on
the subject how the farmers in gen
eral were pleased with their women
farm hands.
"Very much, from what we can
gp'her from the reports that como
in," was the % reply. 'The women
nr<> more conscientious, reliable a'ld
1 airstaking than the men."
Women also have a fine cliarce
to exercise any inventive faculty
they may possess. One woman in
England has invented what is known
as the roller-clutch. This, instead
of ending in a ferrule like the ordi
nary clutch in use. ends in a boat
shaped bar. This lessens the strain
on the shoulder and insures greater
rapidity of movement.
Another woman has invented a
splint, wliich is said to be a vast
improvement on the splint now in
surgical use. It is made of padded
papier-mache, and it said to be very
light and at the same time very
strong.
So there is really no reason for
women to mourn because ol" their
unoccupied hours. They needn't
have them a moment longer than
they want them, when the world is
so full of a number of things for
them to do.
U. S. Merchant Marine
in 1920 to Beat World
South Bend. Ind., June 11.—
America in 1920 will have a mer
chant marine of 25,000.000 dead
weight tons, Chairman Hurley, of the
shipping board, declared here last
night in an address giving the most
complete statement of the nation's
shipbuilding program which has yet
been made public. He was speaking
to the graduates of Notre Dame Uni
versity.
This great commerce fleet, Mr.
Hurley said, the largest ever as
sembled in the history of the world,
and involving the expenditure of
more than $5,000,000,000 will link
the United States to South and Cen
tral America by weekly steamer
service which will enable the Latin-
American countries to utilize their
unlimited natural resources in the
freest competition with other na
tions. It also will bridge the Pacific
for the transportation of the prod
ucts of Japan, Russia, China, Austra
lia and the Orient, and will continue
to promote America's trade with
Europe.

| Dear Mother:
This certainly is the end of a per
fect day, for I have never seen such
a beautiful sunset since 1 left the
"Heights"—all blue and red, with
the smoke from burning Rheims giv
ing Just the right touch to make a
most beautiful picture. Three times
have I flown to-day, totaling four
hours in the air, and I sure am going
to enjoy my trundle bed "ce soir,"
even if it has bob wire for springs
j and canvas for sheets. As Putman
just remarked, no much has hap
pened to-day that he don't know
where to start, and 1 don't wonder,
for he was in two fights, and to top
it otf, his motor stopped dead and
he landed in some trenches near
camp.
1 had my own troubles, too. My
] motor has just been taken down
and cleaned, and I quickly discov
ered I had to learn it all over again
—and to tiiink 1 knew its every
whim before! Anyway, when we
went out the first time at 12 o'clock
a lieutenant came along. My motor
i would not work at all, and kept spit
| ting and coughing like a consump-
I tive; something fierce; but 1 dog-
I gedly stuck, hoping it would run
better after a while —a hope that
was not realized. We had been up
and down the lines once, when
swinging around Rheims we saw
some white shrapnel 'way down at
the other end of the line, so Putman
stands on his tail and begins climb
ing to have a look, for the white
shrapnel denotes a Boche; so did I,
but fiddle as I would with that dog
gone motor, she would not pull me
past 3,500 meters. Not being able toj
climb up, I ambled along below in
the hope that if they found the)
Boche andd rove him down 1 migh I
set a crack at him—and then 1
tried my gun to see if it was work
ing.
Some Fighting
After shooting .twenty times, and
fixing the gun after every shot, I
stopped calling it a machine gun, for
I was working it by hand. They both
being fixed quickly, up 1 went to try
them, diving down at the target with
gun going full blast. It worked fine,
and I*was happy again until I was
informed that one of my bullets had
gone through a hangar near by ami
nearly hit a mechanic, something I
could not understand at all because
the hangar was quite a distance from
the target and my shooting surely
wasn't that bad. So I jokingly told
them it was a stray Boche bullet.
Just then Putman came back with
a tale of diving on seven Boches,
when his gun stuck. We soon had
our zings refilled with gasoline and
our guns fixed, and with another
American named Guy started out
again at 3 p. m. We humped along
out to the lines, my engine still act
ing queerly, with me trying my best
to fix it. Anyway, I was keeping up
with the patrol. For nearly an hour
we flew up and down our sector
without seeing anything but Boche
balloons, ojid we had no orders to
attack those, and then away over
on the German side we saw six
Boches,<a little higher than us.
Up went Putman and Guy, climb
ing nearly vertical to get above them
so they could attack. I stood on my
tail too, but it was no go, for the
motor would not pull. Seeing that I
could not climb, I contented myself
with flying along on nearly the same
level as the Boche, watching my two
comrades dive to the attack.
The Attack
The Boches scattered like quatl,
and no £Ooner had they bunched
again down came the two Ameri
can hawks again. Just at this time
I joined in, rather long range to bo
sure, as my motor was bad, but my
gun was working, and getting the
sight on one Hun X let drive. Ac
cording to Putman and Guy, two

fell, but probably got away ,as no
confirmation came from the lines as
yet. Besides, an airplane falling
out of control can easily be dupli
cated by a pilot on purpose, and this
is often done by the Boche as well as
the French. We were taught that at
Pau.
Nothing Doing
No use my trying to continue
writing about flying experiences now.
Just came bacK trom Chalons and
Putman and 1 sure had some time.
He tried on a uniform he had or
dered and 1 ordered two for myself.
Then, both of us being hungry for
bonbons we began a still hunt for
these scarce sweets. First store we
tried had nothing like that, but Put
man acquired some olives while 1
tried for sweet pickles. Nothing do
ing in the sweet pickle line! bo we
tried again.
That second store was some store!
1 can't think of anything they did
not have, and the bright-eyed French
damsel Who attended us was a clever
little saleswoman. Of course, Put
man did the talking, but 1 caught
the drift, and soon she was showing
us 13, a pound candy—and we weiic

I having more money than 1. 1 fell V
francs' worth, but that was some
landy, ana the girl, with gestures of
eyelashes, eyes and expression as
only a French girl can put over,
picked up one kind of bonbon and
laughingly remarked it was "i'eau de
vie" (water of life).
Naturally Interested
Naturally, we were interested, and
after tasting one and being revived
thereby, wanted a pound, along with
some other kinds —what did we care
for expenses! This is "war, and one
never knows how long his life may
i last—so let appetite be unrestrained.
Our "gourmand" shopping being fin
ished, we decided to visit a hospital
where we heard some American
nurses were working. The ttr.it hos
pital we tried was wrong, but the
second was the right, although, gs
luck would have it, the only Arnen
can girl working there was out. So
Putman wrote a note to be delivered
and we walked sadly As we
walked down the drive on the way
out, two girls passed us, one being
rather pretty, and we wondered at
the time if one might not be the
American we had come to see. How
ever, we didn't speak, but wc had not
gone far down the road wheh who
should we see come down the road,
perched high on a e*b, but the self
same girl we had passed in the hos
pital. She sure was a cute little
trick, and nas so glad to see two
Americans sne Jumped clear to the
ground without touching the step.
Being introduced, as Putman knew
her, she confidentially told us that
wheij we passed her In the hospital
she had remarked to her comrade
that we didn't look like Frenchmen,
and were good-looking enough to be
Americans. Get the good-looking!
(And I was one of those referred to.)
We walked back to the hospital with
her then, chatting as we went, and
