K. C. Gambling Den Is
Raided By Irate Wife;
Got Her Husband's Watch
Serves Notice on v Gambler She It Coming Back. After
His Last .Week's Pay Check Police Had Re
fused to Help Her All the Furniture
in Her Home Gone.
Kansas City, Mo.. March 20. Jn
censed by 'refusal of police to aid her,
a woman raided a gambling dive here
today where her husband had been
losing his pay checks for a month.
She claims a policeman wag banking
the crap game.
What's more, she claims she got the
number of his badge and Intends to
report it to the police commissioners.
Governor Gardner was expected to
come here today for a conference with
the police commissioners regarding
city-wide charges that gambling has
full police protection here.
For weeks the husband, a railroad
switchman, has been losing his xpay
checks in a dive. two blocks from the
police station. Two weeks ago he lost!
All Furniture- Gone.
The home was almost devoid of fur
niture. The player piano went to pay
the grocery bill. The wife's diamond
went to buy food. The husband only
drew down $450 pay In February.
Appealing to the police she was told
"We can do nothing."
"Well, perhaps I can." she shouted.
She darted by the outlook, thru heavy
curtains. Into the midst of a crap
game. She says she saw the cop bank
ing the game long enough to get his
badge number before the lights were
snapped off. In the scramble she
grabbed a man and hung on.
Got Husband's Watch.
"I don't go until I get my husband's
watch," she insisted. Her prisoner in
sisted he had pawned it for 935. He
gave her $35. She demanded her hus
band's last pay check.
' "It's gone," was the reply.
"What time is it?" she asked.
"Just 4 "
"That's my husband's watch. Give
it to me NOW.!' And the man she was
hanging onto handed it over without
question.
"I'll give you 5ust two days to re
turn my husband's pay check." was
her ultimatum as she hurried from
the dive midst an echo of guffaws.
There are no names in this story
because the wife doesn't want her hus
band to lose his job. She has hopes
of seeing some of the next pay check.

HE'S FAST ON HIS "FEET
99
He responds with spirit to any request. He
is up and away in a jiffy, gets over ground
faster than bigger fellows, who struggle under
the heavy burdens of their own dead weight.
He turns a corner quickly, picks his way in
and out of traffic, fairly runs away from most
any other carrier when a street's thick with
teams and motors. -' .
He therefore makes more trips, more miles
in a day, covers more territory, delivers or
collects more parcels or freight.
That's why some call him "Speedy'
Maxwell. He's there when it comes down to
getting a 'thing done in a hurry.
He might just as well be called "Thrifty'
Maxwell, for he's a penny counter, if you like.
He never uses food except when he's work
ing for you and he's almost sure to make you
a present of his first cost in one trip around
the calendar.

The Milliners Promise a Colorful Sea
son iu Hats and Insist ipm a
Striking Innovation in the Form of
Pendant Trimming Thai Drops to
the Shoulders Iiike Karriiujs or to
the Waist Like a Scarf.
Whatever is on a hat today must
go down. The brave upward flares
of trimming have ceased.
This fashion, which began tenta
tively a year ago, is now in full swing
and acceptance. it dominates tne
spring millinery. It will be regarded
with anxiety and diapproval by cer
tain types of women wno have de
pending upon the height of their hats
to offset the shortness of their figures.
The Indian wigwam hats, those in
which paradise swirled to ten inches
above the crown, have gone with the
autumn leaves. The entire movement
in millinery tor tne incoming season
is opposed to height. The short woman
must augment her lack of Inches in
another way. There is really no ne
cessity 10 do tnis unless she has ar
rived at the stout, matronly age when
she feels compelled to taKe some ac
tion that will give length to breadth.
.Another striking innovation in new
millinery is the extra brim tnat rolls
away from the head. It does not com
pel the drooping brim to go back on
the shelf. The milliners say there Is
room for all kinds of hats in the world.
and bugles, anoScwrapped with opa
lescent taffeta, it looks as tho the
headgear had been made for some one
who took part in a comic opera. Yet
there. are women who are wearing
these turbans and manage to carry
them off with distinction. They liken
themselves to gypsies, not savages, and
let it go at that. It's another touch
of the Spanish influence, of course.
Scarfs That Drop Down.
The demurest hat in these new
models has a scarf that wraps itself
around the crown, is made of silk net
in & neut-al color, and falls down one
side of the figure nearly to the knees.
At the edge of the brim, just over the
scarf, two red roses are attached with
their stems longer than nature ever
permitted them to' grow. The roses
themselves touch the waistline. The
sketch shows this hat. The straw is
black and glistening atd the scarf is
of brown tulle.
Not only the tulle draperies, the
roses and tjie earrings drop downward
from the" brims of spring hats, but tha
paradise, the huge brushes of silk and
straw, the ornamental tassels of feath
ers and floss dangle over one ear or
tne otner.
A Paris fashion of last summer is
also repeated in long, heavy Victorian
curls that are attached to the under
part of the brim to drop over the
shoulders, making every young woman
look as tho she were a potential Mary
Picktord.
MA
Lrue hat with tlrooying brim of fine
blaelc Etrav draped with brown ttle
-which fulls on one side to the knees.
Two red roses with long stems are
attached to the brim,.
Iast summer th cauliflower hat, as
it was recklessly called, had its own
way in Paris, and it was the first
harbinger of the regular brim that
turned upward in the bpanlsh fashion,
It was made in f lutings, iu scalloped
petals of silk, satin, or taffeta.
Today the idea is repeated in haif a
hundred models, aitho the riutmg and
pinking has disappeared. , There are
certain hats with upturnea brims of
straw that have regular inundations
in the surface as tho they were made
with a .Marcel iron. And even on
these hats the trimming goes down
ward, even if the brim goes upward.
The contrast is a bit strange, and
after all. it is a queer idea to- introduce
this upturned Spanish brim at a time
when the whole emphasis of millinery
is laid on the downward , plunge.
Earring this rolling brim, here are
the various ways in which the new
hats show their Victorian tendency to
droop. Some of these methods are
erratic and sensational; others are as
demure as the behavior, of a Jane Aus
tin heroine.
Barbaric earrings, for . instance,
swing to the shoulders from the brim
of the new turbans, and when these
turbans are made of glittering straw

Wonderful Healing of Rupture
How a New Jersey Man Got Rid
of a Severe, Obstinate, Right
Inguinal Hernia Without the
Slightest Trouble.
Below is a picture of Eugene M.
Pullen, a well-known carpenter of
Manasouan, Xew Jersey. If you could
see him at his work, particularly when
he handles heavy timber, jumps and
climbs around like a youth, you would
scarcely imagine that he had formerly
been afflicted with a rupture.

Ruptured iu Xligiit Side.
At an early apre, Eugene Pullen was
an express driver. B.e handled rail
road baggage. One day after deliver
ing a heavy trunk on an upper floor
he felt a pain in the right groin. The
suffering increased and it was not long
before the young man noticed the
swelling.
The doctor told young Pullen that
he was ruptured and that he must
either wear a truss throughout life or
submit to a drastic operation. All sur
geons know that hernia operations,
with anaesthetics, etc., are dangerous;
they may end fatally. Moreover, it is
a well established fact that many rup
ture operations are not successful; the
bowel-soon b'reaks through the sewed
up opening and protrudes worse than
ever.
Afraid of Operation.
Like most others. Mr. Pullen de
clined to take the risks of an opera
tion; the expense and loss of time had
to be considered, too. Hoping he
might get a little better encourage
ment. he went to another physician
who, to his sorrow, gave him even less
hope. It was pointed out to the young
man that unles3 the rupture were per
fectly held all the time or the sur
geon's knife successfully used, he
might expect an increase or doubling
in tho rupture with further compuca
ttons. or the dreaded strangulated
hernia which kills so many raptured
people.
Victim of Trasses.
The victim bought a truss, a hard
spring-like affair, the best he could
get. It tortured him. H tried an
other still no relief. He was com
pelled to give up his express business.
The hard tasks of ordinary men were
forbidden him. He became an insur
ance agent, in which position he did
not need to do bOdily work.
For six years Mr. Pullen dragged
around, using various trusses, hard,
elastic etc.. with never any content
ment. One day his mother told him
something she had just found out. It
was a simple and easy thing for him
to do. Ha lost no tune.
Discarded His Traw.
Relief came at once, he almost for
got that h had any rupture. After
ward came m cure a complete healing
and, although years have passed and
Mr. Pullen 3 an energetic carpenter,
working on buildings, climbing over
roofs, lifting lumber and such like, he
is' absolutely free from the old hernia.
He knows tie is completely, lastingly
cured. There was no operation, no
lost time, no trouble comfort and
contentment from the very outset. He
is & strong, cheerful-minded man.
' Valuable Information Free.
Tho valuable Information which
Mrs. Pullen read in a, newspaper many
years ago and gave to her son, togeth

CHALMER
A car for those who have
an eye for beauty and an ear
c " for rhythm
Ottaluy
TO stand and look
at a new Chalmers
is to admire it. For
it has a grace of line, an
elegance of finish, a care
for little details that compel
your attention.
The new coach is low in
appearance, and therein lies
the secret of its beauty.
You can sit in the car and
feel yourself at rare ease.
Start the engine, turn loose
the power stream, accelerate
it, play with it as you will,
you cannot help but detect a
smoothness, a perfect rhythm
that is pleasing to the ear.
There are no engine
throbs, no vibration, no
apparent effort. Hot
Spot and RamVhorn
prevent them. Those two
products of master intellects
refine the gasoline, "digest' it,
"break up the lump6)' and
make it easy for that magnifi'
cent engine to supply that
rhythm of power which bo
quickly denotes a Chalmers.
Drive this car once, and you,
too, will say Chalmers is one v
of the few great cars of the
world,
