S7OO Paid for Bride, Il
How Lee Hong bought his child wife for that sum.
Feature in The Sunday American, March 21,
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, March 18.~The
outflow of American gold to foreign
eapitals now exceeds §51,000,000 a day,
reports to the treasury indicated to
day. Gold exports at this rate far
exceed the record marks established
Jast year, and heavier demands call
ing for still larger shipments, indi
cate exports may top the present
high total.
Federal Reserve Board officials to
day estimated that gold exports for
1920 may reach $400,000,000,
Tabulations on shipments of the
precious metal abroad show that
South America gets the larger share.
Practically one-third of the gold
shipped since January 1 has gone to,
consigrees in Argentine. Almost
equally large shipments went to|
China and Japan. |
The steady drain upon the Ameri-l
can gold supply is but slightly offset |
by imports. Imports scarcely amount |
to one-tighth of exports. Federal|
Reserve Board officials saw no occa
sion for alarm for the heavy export
record now being steadily maintained.

' A Romance That
{ .
' Ended Happily
I - e ~
| He had told her the old, old story
that is always new, and the happy
day had been set,
| There was no cloud on their hori
zon of happiness until they were re
minded by older and wiser heads
that marrying, honeymoon trips and
furnishing homes cost money-lots
as it, |
From the seventh heaven of delight
to the depths of despair is a far
jump, but that is just where this
young couple landed when they real
lzed their plight,
J’ This young fellow, as most young
{ follows are, was wise in love, but not
in finance; for, though he hal a
!:an steady, established income,
| sufficient for their needs and a lit
!Uv to spare, he had not saved for
|a “rainy day.”
| In despair they tcok their troubles
| to that universal comforter—>Mother
1 who smiled at their seriousness and
said, “Why, you dear childcen; run
| vight along, enjoy yourselves, don't
| worry, but be suvre to meet me down
| town tomorrow morning at 9.”
| Puzzling their minds as to how
! she was going to help them, but, neve
lunlu-h-s.\ relieved and happy once
| more, they met her as agreed upon
{ With a smile, but without a word
;uf exp.anation, she led them down
| Whitehall street to number 172 and
| turned into the bhig ready-to-wear
tand home furnishing store of the
Jlumu Art Supply Co., where she
turned and said “Now, you chil

Aaron Zebedee Gilbert, of Jackson
’ville-. Thursday was preparing to take
' home his pretty young wife and their
‘3-year-old daughter, who had spent
the night in the Atlanta police sta
tion. Mrs. Gilbert was arrested Wed
nesday afternoon in company with
Darvin Woods, who is being held for
complicity in a jewelry store robberyl
in Jacksonville and who also may an—‘
swer charges of violating the Manni
act. Woods is said to have admitted
receiving part of the proceeds of thel
robbery and jewelry was found in his
trunk. He and Mrs. Gilbert were ar
rested in a rooming house at 311 East |
Fair street, 1
Gilbert missed his wife last Sunday
and found she had left for Atlanta
in company with young(*Voods, who
had been rooming in the Gilbert home.
He followed them to Atlanta anaq!
asked the aid of the police depart
ment here. |
The police said Woods had con
cealed a pistol in his cap, and when
confronted by Gilbert, Woods made
a motion which made them believe he
intended to shoot Gilbert, who seized
Woods' arm.
ATTACKS HUSBAND.
Attacking her hushand whom she
deserted in Jacksonville, for what
she terms his cruelty and unkindness,
Mrs, Gilbert Thursday exonerated
Woods of persuading her to leave her
hushand.
“That poor boy 's absolutely in
nocent of persuading me to leave my
husband,” she said. ‘I have con
templated it a long time,” she said
at the prison. \
“1t Is my husband’'s cruelty and
unkindness, his lack of consideration
that caused me to take this step.
It had been contemplated before
many times, but I am not of a dis
position that can hold bad feelings
and I would forgive him on account
of my baby,” she continued as she
patted the bair of Delphine, her
daughter, The police had allowed
Delphine to spend the night with her
mother in jail.
“I could have stayed at a hotel
last night if T had gone with my hus
band, but much as I cringe from the
disgrace of a jail, I prefer it to be
ing agait with him. It would be a
repition of the old agony, the old
trouble and unhappiness. So I prefer
the jail, although I hope to leave it
today.”
“I'VE DONE NO WRONG.” f
“The police have no charge against
me, so they tell me, for I have done
no wrong. 1 could do no real wrong,
for my baby's sake, even if I had
no conscience to guide me. T felt
that I needed some one near me to
keep up my courage. But there was
nothing wrong. I swear. And I sha‘ll‘
s 0 swear if they press the charge of
the Mann act against Darvin. 1
“1 know that the boy has done
wrong and I believe him wfen he
tells me that from now on he is
going straight. But my husband has
no cause to tell anything. He him
self only worked one week in Jack
sonville. I never had the least sus
wvieion of Darvin until 1 observed him
with my husband and could tell from‘
fragments of conversation that they
were making some sort of plans,
*Darvin could have eluded the nf-‘
ficers Wednesday or he could havei
made a forcible getaway, but he
stayed because he knew that I wanted
him to do what was right,”
Mrs Gilbert expected to be re
leased Thursdav and sajd she would
leave for her mother's home in North
carslina.

a petroleum product used with coal
and water in manufacturing illumi
nating and heating gas, is causing a
serious condition with gas producers,
according to an announcement made
Friday by the Atlanta Gas Light
.Company. The co-operation of the
government and State utility commis
siong in alleviating conditions has
been asked.
Increased demand for gasoline and
fuel oil for ships is responsible for
the shortage, it is said. Gas compa

“Tiz” for Tired
]
And Sore Feet
i
- . "
Use “Tiz" for Puffed-Up,
Burning, Aching, Cal
loused Feet and Corns.
i Why go limping around with ach
ing, puffed-up feet—feet so tired,
chafed and swollen you can hardly
get your shoes on or off? Why don’t
you get a box of “Tiz” from the
drug store now and gladden your tor
tured feet?
“Tiz” makes your feet glow with -
comfort; takes down swellings and
draws the soreness and misery right
out of feet that chafe, smart and
burn. “Tiz” instantly stops pain in
corns, callouses and bunions. “Tiz”
is glorious for tired, aching, sore
feet. No more shoe tightness—no
'more foot torture.—Adv.
