Rummage Sale Shoe
Held Costly Gems
NEW BEDFORD. Mass.—Be
cause prospective customer com
plained that she could not get her
feet into one of a pair of shoes
at the Eastern Star rummage sale
in this city, the volunteer clerk
investigated and found in the toe
a small oblong box which con
tained four diamond rings and a
brooch, valued at $1,500.
The jewelry was traced to Mrs.
Thomas H. Jones, who had placed
it there as protection from bur
glars, and had forgotten about it
until it was returned to her.

YOUNG MEN TO
UPHOLD IDEALS
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y4fNov. 30.
In a letter to the Young American’s
Democratic league here, ' President
Wilson stated the young men of the
country should ’’correct the pessi
mism and reaction of some of the
Cider men.”
The letter, addressed to Thomas
F. Compton, treasurer of the Young
American’s Democratic league of
New York state, read:
“Dear Mr. Compton:
“Will you not convey my cordial
greetings to the first annual con
vention of the Young American’s
Democratic league which is to con
vene December 27? It is the young
men of the country who must cor
rect the pessimism and reaction of
some of the older men and push
forward toward a realization of the
genuine ideals which cannot be lived
up to without courage and a con
stant renewal of fidelity to the pur
est conceptions of Democracy and
of international responsibility.
"My best wishes will follow the
deliberations of the convention 'and
I shall hope for the most entire suc
cess and the most widespread in
fluence. Cordially and sincerely
yours,

FAMOUS FEMININE BROKER
BEATS WALL STREET GAME
. |gg|g||
" HELE/V
NEW YORK.—“Begin at the bot
tom and learn every step of the busi
ness as you go along,” is the advice
of Helen Kenney Holmes. She knows
that system will work because that
is how she became one of the high
est salaried women in Wall street.
Eleven years ago Mrs. Holmes be
gan her business career as a tele
phone operator in the brokerage of
fice of McQuoid & Coady, where to
day, as a member of the firm, she
receives an annual salary of $7,500
plus 5 per cent of the profits of the
firm. She is a stock trader, which
means thpt her specialty is high
priced, unlisted securities, and in ad
dition' to work for the firm, she has
a large clientele of her own, for
whom she manages discretionary ac
counts.
Telephone Operator
Mrs. Holmes describes the work of
a stock trader as “the only busi
ness,” although her original connec
tion with this line of work was acci
dental. Eleven years ago she was
just seventeen-year-old Helen Ken
ney, who had completed her third
year in high school. Her family
suffered financial . reverses and she
was forced, to go to work.
Her initial connection with the
brokerage business to have
been fortunate. Twelve dollars a
week tor an inexperienced telephone
operator in the good year 1909 was
not so bad a sum, but before many
months had passed the unusual ac
curacy and intelligence of her re
ports brought her an increase to
$lB. Before the end of the. first year
her employer said to her:
“Here, you've too much brains for
the switchboard. We’ll make you a

They will show us how to

Jailer in Memphis s.
Is Shot and Killed
By Escaping Convict
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 30.
George Reeves, a jailer, was shot
and fatally wounded at the Shelby
county jail here shortly, before noon
while attempting to prevent the es
cape of Clyde Hamilton and two oth
er men held in jail pending trial on
.charges of robbery.
. Hamilton, who is said to have
fired the shots that mortally wound
ed Reeves, and the two other men,
escaped.
When Hamilton shot Reeves, a
woman knocked the pistol from his
hand. Reeves grabbed it and shot
Hamilton three times as he ran
through the jail door to liberty.
Reeves died in a few minutes.
It is believed the fleeing prisoners
escaped to Arkansas in a skiff. The
jail stands near the banks of the
Mississippi river right in the city.
The jail delivery and shooting of
Reeves was evidently planned in ad
vance.
Three men called at the jail to
day and asked to see the prisoners.
They were taken to different con
sultation rooms. As if on signal,
all suddenly burst from the consul
tation rooms and attacked Jailer
Reeves.
stock exchange clerk”—and the sal
ary jumped up to $25.
Notwithstanding her unusual suc
cess in a line of work which she en
tered quite by chance, Mrs. Holmes
does not advise other girls to leave
to accident the choice of an occupa
tion. Generally speaking, it is much
better, she thinks, to prepare one
self for an occupation one likes well
enough to work hard to follow.
Proving her belief in the gospel of
beginning at the bottom, when she
brought her nineteen-year-old sister,
just out of boarding school, into the
brokerage office recently, the young
er girl was required to spend three
months at the switchboard before
going higher in the work.
Away From Business
Mrs. Holmes looks the part of
brains, plus energy, common sense
and health. She is not at all the
formidable person whom one might
associate * with the idea of high
finance, but is good-natured, ap
proachable, almost girlish.
Outside of business hours she
walks, swims, plays golf and has a
good, comradey time generally with
her husband, who is associated with
a motion picture company. It is
much better, she thinks, for hus
bands and wives both in business,
not to be connected with the same
line 'of work.
“We have so much more to talk
about when we get home,” she says.
“I shouldn’t want to work right with
my husband. It would be too much
like having him at home in the house
all day. Not that I agree with the
Fannie Hurst idea about not having
breakfast with one’s husband. I
want breakfast, and dinner, too, and
all the recreation time possible with
my husband. But I do think that
husbands and wives are happier to
gether if each can bring the other
some stimulating interest from
without.”
Girl Indicted Here

Ex-Kaiser Wilhelm
Received $ 13,050,000
Since January 1
BY GEOROE WITTE
(Special Cable to the Chicago Daily News
Foreign Service, by Leased Wire to
The Atlanta Journal.)
(Copyright, 1920.)
BERLIN, Germany, Nov. 30.
“William’s Socialization” is the head
line which the “Rothe Fahne” (the
“red flag”), the organ of the Ger
man Communists, uses over its com
ment on the income being paid to
the former kaiser.
“Bourgeois newspapers,” it says,
“reports that since January William
has received 52,200,000 marks (nor
mally $13,050,000) for subsistence.
That means Unemployed subsistence
of 72,220 marks ($18,055) daily, or
calculated on the basis of an eight
hour day 9,000 marks an
hour. According to these figures
William receives as much every hour
doing nothing as a blind soldier, with
a wife and three children receives
in a whole year. William by the
grace of God gets unemployed sub
sistence which is 7,000 times more
.than the average mortal gets and
the latter must even fetch it and
attend to the necessary red tape
himself. One must say that the re
public under Ebert is paying money
enough for the socialization of Wil
liam and his subsistence.”

A.—“ Sabotage” is a French word,
meaning “the willful and underhand
destruction of machinery by work
men during labor troubles,” and is
derived from the French word “sa

A—The calendar of the French Re
public had such a week. Each
month of 30 days was divided into
three decades. The tenth, or decadi,

One-Man Trolley
Is Queer Outfit
KENSINGTON, Md.—lt’s fine in
some ways to be a street car mag

of a traction company has his
troubles.
Take the case of R. H. Phillips,
who is the owner, operator and some
times the motorman on a one-track,

Following the fashion set by met

sion to boost the rate of fare on his
line from 5 to 7 cents. As owner,
manager, secretary and treasurer of

ductor and motorman, he testified the
increase was necessary for “the good

Kensington, however, a patron, has
protested the higher fare. She wrote
the Maryland public service commis
sion saying a ride on Phillips’ line
wasn’t worth more than a nickel,
that, in fact, the patrons ought to
be paid for riding on it, and lambast
ing the line generally.
“Car Is Very Unsafe”
“The car,” she said, “is very un
safe, loose at all four corners and
gives at the joints at every corner
around which it runs.” She suggest
ed the “company” be required to
spend the additional fare, if it was
continued in force, in buying new

Phillips’ answer, duly filed with
the commission, says that is a finan

explains, was fully absorbed by a $lO

NEW YORK.—The two most fa
mous streets in the world—Fifth
avenue and Broadway—each wait
breathlessly today to see if Mrs.
Charlotte King Palmer is going to
tell.
Broadway is interested for it
knows well this former stage beauty,
who married the exclusive million
aire, James C. Parrish, Jr., kin of
the Vanderbilts, and who has just
been robbed of $767,000 worth of
jewels in the most spectacular bur
glary Manhattan has yet had staged.
Fifth. Avenue Interested
Fifth avenue is interested for it
also, from behind lace curtains, of
course, knows well this “Broadway
ite” who came to live within the
shadow of the Carnegie mansion a
few years ago. and who was divorced
just recently from the young blue
blood who wooed her with diamonds,
pearls and sapphires.
What is it that Mrs. Palmer
doesn’t want to tell?
Something, perhaps, that she won’t
even tell to save $767,000 worth of
precious gems?
Just this.: Which are the “dancing
restaurants” she has been visiting,
and who are the men she has danced
with there?
What possible motive has Mrs.
Palmer for not revealing these de
tails of her “gay life?”
“Not Her World"
The police think Mrs. Palmer
doesn’t want to acknowledge before
Fifth avenue, which hasn’t done her
much homage socially, that she ever
mingles with the Broadway crowd.
They insist that acknowled£Mi#£nt
cannot injure a person socially as
all Fifth avenue comes over, of an
evening, to Broadway.
On the other hand those in the
know readily admit this, but they
say that, while the gay white way
is the one place in New York where
the two halves of the social world
meet, no one admits it while on

Fifth avenue. They point out that
the distance between Fifth avenue
and Broadway, as the Fifty-ninth
street car crawls, is only two city
blocks, but, as' the social register
knows, no one is hardy enough- to
cover it except traveling “anony
mously.” And apparently Mrs. Pal
mer is going to protect her “incog
nito-”
“I don’t know why the police keep
on questioning me about my compan
ions,” she sighed. “I certainly don’t
know who these men were who rob
bed me and held me captive all night
in my bathroom. Why, when they
accosted me in the hall of my home
as I returned from dancing, I ran
from them and leaped all the way
down the stairs, fracturing the bones
in both my feet.
“Do i you think I would run from
men 1 know or from the sort of
men who could have passed for de
tectives, as these creatures assured
me at first they were?”
“Gentlemen Burglars”
The police theory is that the job
was done by confederates of “lounge
lizards”—New York’s new adapta
tion of "gentlemen burglars.” They
believe that certain nangers-on in
big Broadway dancing palaces no
ticed Mrs. Palmer, always loaded
down with magnificent jewels, were
introduced to her and perhaps even
danced with her, and got to know
her quite well. T't «y want to find
out the name of every acquaintance
of this sort she has made in the
past few months so they can trace
his antecedents.
But Mrs. Palmer, bruised and still
frightened from her experience, says,
“You know I didn’t often go over
on Broadway. This was rather an
exceptional experience for me. I
really know only exclusive people. So
I am sure telling the details of my
private life cannot possibly help the
police to solve the mystery.”
The police, on the other hand, say
they are blocked until Mrs. Palmer

OLD HOME TOWN
OF LINCOLN TO BE
RESTORED SOON
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Nov. 29.
Restoration of the village of New
Salem where Abraham Lincoln
worked as grocery clerk, fell in love
with Ann Rutledge, carried the post
office in his hat and whipped the
champion of the “Clary’s Grove
Boys,” will be completed by next
spring and with the addition of the
Old Salem museum, will .be thrown
open as the Old Salem State park,
according to announcement of
State Architect Edgar Marfin.
Log huts as they were in Lincoln’s
day have been rebuitl. Their location
and arrangement are exact. Founda
tions were found undisturbed ex
cept by the wear of time, and the
houses reconstructed over them.
Atmosphere of 1831 to 1837 'in so
far as possible is re-embodied. The
store where Lincojn was clerk, the
mill on Sangamon river and ■ Uli
other structures of “New Salem” so
rich in memories of the great Amer
ican have been completely restored
and lack only the finishing touches.
Beside reproducing the actual vil-1
lage, the state has added a I
frame house of the better class in
Lincoln’s day, which will serve as
a state museum to house Lincoln
relics, This house is modeled after
a fine old residence in St. Genevieve,
Mo., which village Mr. Martin said
is ag a town lifted bodily out of’
the last century. The architecture
is of the best of Lincoln's day.
Contracts for the wiring, heat
ing and plumbing of the museum
have just been let.
In restoring New Salem the de
partment was forced to follow Xhe
same tactics used in restoration of
more ancient cities. New Salem
dwindled rapidly after Lincoln mov
ed away, and shortly after 1837 was
.entirely deserted. When the last
general assembly authorized the
creation of the Old Salem State
park. Only the weatherbeaten
foundations could be found.
The 62 acres of the restored vil
lage and state park are 23 miles
northwest of Springfield, in Menard
county.

Cured His RUPTURE
I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk
several years ago. Doctors said my only hope
of cure was an operation. Trusses did me
no good. Finally I got hold of something
that quickly and completely cured me. Years
have passed and the rupture has never re
turned. although I am doing hard work aa
a carpenter. There was no operation, no
lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell,
but will give full information about liow
you may find a complete cure without oper
ation, if you write to me. Eugene M. Pnllen,
Carpenter, 189-G Marcellus avenue, Manas
quan, N. J. ' Better cut out this notice and'
show it to any others who are ruptured—
you may save a life or at least stop the
misery of rupture and the worry and danger
of an operation.— (Advt.)
