By Fay Stevenson. TARTING RIGHT AGAIN YOUNG PEOPLE WHO HAVE GONE OVER THE PRECIPICEB! That is one of the hobbies of pretty Miss Dorothy Frooks, the Just one glance at this pink cheeked, brown haired, blue eyed young woman tells one she is NOT a reformer. In fact, there is something wistful and girlish about this twenty-four-year-old girl which breathes an atmos- phere of ballrooms, teas and re- pensive men misjudge her, It isn't because they think she is pretty that they flatter her, it is because they put her in a differ- ent cluss, I am sorry to say. “A poor girl should don tweeds and becoming, simple frocks.

She gets into debt, buys things on the instalment plan and meets the wrong type of men. As an attorney for the Sal- ation Army I have found that ‘looking pretty’ is the one and chief desire of the girl who slid down hill or else who peeked over the top of the hill and decided she'd start again some other way. “Now, I don't condemn looking pretty," laughed Miss Frooks. “Every girl on earth does her best to accomplish this admirable feat. But the question is, does she suc- ceed? One girl told me she spent over $5 every week on cosmetics. I looked at the girl's lips, her cheeks, her eyebrows with pity. She was a sight, a fright.”” But Miss Frooks {s very seri- ous when she desires to be. She was educated at New York Unt- versity, the Brooklyn Law School, the Hamilton College of Law and has her master’s degree. It may be her recent experience as attor- ney for the Salvation Army, or It may be her love of youth, that draws her to young people who have gone over the precipice, but anyhow this prettey, fun-loving young woman wants to help them get back again, And becauge she is young and pretty and lke sto dance and wear pretty ,clothes, she is able to reach sponsive hearts. “That meant that she had noth- ing left for outing money, I sup- pose?"

Joseph Belsamo, five, of No. 250 Walnut Street, Newark, ran between a garage and a restauarnt building to- day to find a hiding place while play- ing with other children and wedged himself in. The space between thé buildings was about 7 inches. The boy became frightened in his efforts to yet out and turned in such a way that his head also became wedged. His playmates discovered his pr dicament and firemen from Truck No. 4, nearby, were notified. They chopped through the brick wall of the garage and released the boy, who was buried and greatly frightened. He was taken to St. James Hospital and later went home.

WASHINGTON, May 2 (Copy- right). — Advices from Portland, Me., that a ‘drive’? has been under- taken there to relieve distress among the German wives of American sol- diers recently returned from their watch on the Rhine have focussed attention here on one of the outstand- ing problems of the American Army. An investigation probably will be ordered in the near future to learn just what has become of, the foreign wives of soldiers since their return to this country; to determine into what walks of life the women have been Jed; how many have wilfully de- serted their husbands; how many have been driven to desperation in an attempt to live on a private soldier's meagre pay, and what is the con- dition among those, with children, who have attempted to keep their new “homes" together, The Government will not spare itself in such an investigation, for such an have belonged to the regular estab- lishment of the army, men with a year or more to serve with the col ors after their return from the Rhine, Furthermore, most of the German wives are bringing children with them, Suddest of all has been the disillu- sionment of the German wives as to r prospects in life since they hed America. In Germany, at t present rate of exchange, the $30 « month of a doughboy was a fortune At the time when German marks ached $00 to the dollar $30 a month amounted to the normal equivalent of more than $2,000 a month, or about $25,000 a year, The money did noi actu y amount to that much, for the purchasing power of the mark rapidly declined, At its worst, however, the doughboy's salary in marks amounted to far more than a fraulein of the Rhineland ever dreamed of possess- ing.

The army permitted the soldiers to marry abroad —especially those stationed in Ger- many. The army provided transporta- tion to America for the wives. Should the army also have provided adequate quarters for these wives after landing them on American soil? In most instances, it is said, this was done. This was particularly true of the returning soldiers who landed in New York. Evidently no provision was made, however, for the wives who arrived by transport direct at Port- land, Me.

The trial of Charles Veith, twenty- eight years old, of No. 691 Wythe Avenue, Brooklyn, who shot and killed William Doyle at No. 5 Bast roadway on April 8, and pleaded the unwritten law because Doyle had beaten and robbed his aged mother, was begun to-day before Justice Man- cuso in the Supreme Court. ‘The pub- licity that has been given to Veith’s plea that he was justified in killing the assailant of his mother drew a crowd that the courtroom could not accommodate, Assistant District Attorney Brothers in opening the case said the prosecu- tion would show premeditated murder and ask for a verdict of murder in the first degree. Veith, Mr. Brothers said, although he did not see the alleged assault upon his mother, procured a revolver and bought cartridges when she told him about it, travelled all the way over from Brooklyn to the lodg- ing house In East Broadway where he knew he would find Doyle and shot him dead as he was sitting on the steps in front of the building. Veith made no attempt to escape. ‘The defense is that Doyle, who was a Bowery habitue and seldom worked, had been for years befriended by Veith, a hard working young man, and his mother. Doyle, they claim had been given the freedom of their home and frequently had been sup- plied by them with clothing and money, Mrs. Veith will testify that Doyle knew that her son gave her money at stated periods. She admitted him un- suspectingly when he called in the ab- sence of her son on April 8. He asked her for $25 which her son had given her the night before, When she refused to give. it to. him he knocked her down, kicked her into un- consciousness and stole, the money from her person. She will ex- hibit to the jury scars and bruises atill in evidence. Veith will take the stand and testify that when his mother told him of Doyle's assault he went crazy, Hang- ing on the wall of the living room of his mother's home was a revolver that had belonged to his grandfather. He grabbed the weapon, rushed from the house with it, obtained a supply of cartridges, hunted up Doyle and shot him dead. But he was unaware, he still maintains, of his actions from the time he left his home until he re- covered his reason in a police station house.
