SR PAGE FOUR EASILY MANAGES IS SIX WIVES lesse Gibbs, in Jail, Visited and Petted by His Many Consorts. A T IS A GIFT, MEN Only Three of Wives Appear In Court to Testify and They Are Friend- ly—Police Learn About Women. Chicago.~King Solomon didn’t have & whole lot on Jesse Otley Gibbs, ex- cept perhaps that the king never had to sleep In Traeger’s hotel, as the county jail is called in police circles. For in the matter of wived and the . mnsterlng thereof - Mr. Glbbs is a ““whiz,” If one might judge from what . came about in court when the modern Solpmon went to face a charge of hav- Ing at least six wives and not enough of them legally- disqualified. Gibbs' lawyer tried to get Judge Bitasa to reduce the $5,000 bail which hés been keeping the busy husband in fdil, but the’Judge, when he saw that aone of the wives was enough infer- ested In the case to keep the promise to‘appear against Gibbs, said: *4Gibbs.has had such a good time all hiE life, T can’t see any reason why he can't pass a few more days fn jail. The ease is continued and the court shall Issue warrants for these six women and have ‘them here. Why aren’t they here today?” Wives Visit Him iIn Jall. ° ; | Pollcewoman Alice Clements tijen expiained that nearly all, if not all of the wives, have been visiting Gibbs in §ail, that he has some hypuotic control over them, that they have been taking him food, flowers and fresh linen, and that in ‘the opinion of the policewom:- an he ‘has them so under his thumb that they will not appear against him. | Gibbs looked the part-in court, with the clean linen and a sprig of the flow- ers brought to him. The court intimated that there were in possession of the state names of other wives, but so far only these are Usted : o GF Mrs. Hilma Swomberg Gibbs, Mrs. Rose Lynn Gibbs, Mrs. Josephine Pdage Gibbs, Mrs. Mathilda Schletter Gibbs, Mzs, Amella Barthelhetm lbbs and Mrs. Emme Mae Barly ¢ Jess% Otle ‘glhbw ves/ were not all {hico éo fade him when' the case was called for the second time, Three were present under subpoena, unwillingly, one weeping, in the lieu- tenant’s office. ..

Hilma Swomberg Glbbs, who ? ln a blonde and a nurse, blushed rosily and her blue eyes sought the floor. Rose Lynn Gibbs seemed 11l at ease and hid her face In her hand. . “It's a shame to treat him like this" sald Mrs. Emma Mae Early Gibbs. Jesse's Lawyer Delays Action. Jesse looked around the room and seemed to miss some one. Standing Jauntily with his hands on his hips, he explained to Judge Barasa that his lawyer had slipped up on him. “And T pald him 810, too,” Jesse sald. “I can't stand to see him suffer so. They just drag him around—treat him ke a dog” 'sald Mrs. Emma Mae Early Gibbs, poetess. Jesse showed he can be stern with his wives, “Hush!" he said. “This s a court of law.” The court hinted, annoyedly, that if she didn't be quiet he'd put her into a . cell, maybe. Becsiuse of absence of the ddendant’s lawyer the case was agaln 'continued. Garbefl as Girl to Escape Draft.

A, has a hostess house in Brittany where the Signal Corps women live and a hut where the nurses spend thelr free time. Both these centers are fitted with many of the comforts and conveniences of home, “At a tea glven at the nurses’ hut one Sa@irday afternoon,” writes Miss Mabel Warner, of Salina, Kansas, Y. W. C.

Small wonder that we can hardly wait to be- gin. Many an enthusiastic possessor of small garden wishes at this season hat he could eniarge his area and in- erease his facllities, ‘greenhouse and hotbeds, and frames, | and pits, do look tantalizingly desir- nble, « But even the small garden can be provided at a small cost with the meaps for hastening tire maturity of many things. Indeed, the garden it- self, if rightly furnished, will be found ready with its early gifts. The French sorrel, already referred to, Scutatug, is among the first. Its leaves, ot yet half grown, are meltingly teun- der and spicily tart, needing only the addition of oil and a “thought” of salt to provide a salad “fit to set bafore the king” Why a king? Let us say, be- fore 8 faithful . gardener.~—Ellzabeth Bddy Nerris, in the House Beautiful. Transferring the Bad Luck. A visitor on a British battleship was dining with a group of officers when his fork accldentally struck a glass tumbler. As the glass resounded the ‘officers shouted as one man, “Boche.” Onr asking for an explanation the vis- ftor was told that the ringing of a glass meant bad luck. One officer declared that on one ship he formerrly commanded every time a glass was rung & man fell overboard. This Is why officers mow cry “Boche™ when & table accldent occurs, they hoping to transfer their bad luck Yo the enemy.

CHIVALRY IN THE TRENCHES How Suffering Tommy, Doomed to Early Death, Attempted to Give His Blanket to Yank Comrade. “Yank, I'm only twenty-eighf, but I'm an old man,” sald an English Tommy just before we turned into our sleeping rolls on the coldest night that I had experienced. And his aw- ful cough, the result of being gassed early in the war, when they had no masks, added fatal. testimony to his statement. All night long he coughed. About midnight I awoke shivering. From his coughing I knew that he was awake, Isald: “Tommy, I never was so! cold in wmy life,” and then in a few mlnunw I was asleep again. (mur later I was again awakened by hls violent coughing. To my sur- prise I seemed to be warm and wonder- ed if the wind had suddenly changed, but from its constant whistling I knew it had not. o extra blankets on me. I suspect- ed whence they had come by that vm lent coughing. I got up and carried them baek where he lay, sgying: “Tommy, di you put these blankets on me?" He replied: cold.” “But what about you?” “Oh, me? I'm used to it.” “Well, all I got to say is, thank you; but If you ever do that trick again I'll throw you out of the window In the snow and let you freeze to death.” And | then I put them back on his shivetiug, gassed body.—Willlam L.

If citations of Metz have especially Interested American readers, refer- ences to Reims hgve appealed most to the French themselves. For Reims is very dear to them—for historic, for patriotic, for religlous, and for liter- ary reasons. Nothing, perhaps, has rejoiced our French allies more than the fact that the Germans have never been able to take Reims, however close they have come to it. Tt is the damage that has been done to the glerious cathedral of Relms that constitutes one of the greatest artistic tragedies of the war. Here, in this magnificent cathedral, the kings of im- perial France were crowned. Here Joan of Are led Charles VII to his cor- onntion—tire sainted Joan who freed Relms from its enemles. One caf” tle great pieces | of news from the -western front was to the ef- fect that Reims had been finally nQd definitely cleared from the menace of the German guns, GET AFTER THAT COLD RIGHT NOW Got right after it wiin a bottle of Dr. King s New Discovery She never let a cough or cold or case of grippe go until it grew dangerous.

Any one who imagines that all the vessels sunk by enemy U-boats or mines are left at the bottom of the sea would be surprised if he could be told the whole story of ingenuity, resource and unremitting toll of the British admivalty salvage corps. | Almost as soon as a vessel is sunk | salvage - operations are commenced. Divers are sent down to take accurate measurements of the size of .the hole made by the torpedo or mine. - Small holes are plugqed with wood, but lm‘ge ones are patched with “standards” patches. These are made of 12-inch wooden beams, and a patch sometimes weighs as much as 20 tons. As may be !magined, the size of the hole varies greatly. In some cases it Lh:lS measured 40 feet long by 20 feet wide, and in one case it has HBeen known to be 48 feet long by 25 feet wide. When the vessels have been plugged nn!] patched, theiv cargo removed und the water pumped-out of them they proceed to the nearest port where they ecan be permanently repaired.
