Blames Soldier Divorces On
Lack of Government Bonus
Cincinnati. O.. April 24. Most di
vorces in cases where American sol
dier were bridegrooms are due to
financial affairs of the husband as N
result of a lack of proper considera
tion by the United States govern-
enr during tne period oi recon-
struction, said Judge Charles W.
Hoffman, nationally known -court
judge of this city, in a statement is
sued here.
Judge Hoffmajn declared the gov
ernment should have assisted these
men to positions which would ena
ble them to provide the comforts of
life for their young wives.
"I believe if Uncle Sam had placed
his soldiers on their feet again so
that the wife could see something
besides a life struggle and poverty
as her future, manof these domes
tic difficulties might have been
avoided," he said.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha B htri Wire.
Chicago, April , 24. There are
other compensations for the "baby
elephants" now undergoing a two-
months rigid course ot worse ana
diet prescribed by the city health
department, aside from their trans
formation from unwieldy creatures,
hampered by many pounds of use
less fat, to symmetrical creatures,
who will not have all their clothes
made to order. -
It may be true that no one loves
a fat man, but this does not go for
fat women, judging from the 'nu
merous letters the plump entrants
are already receiving from admirers.
Hardly had the story ' of the "class
in reduction been pubiisnea, to
gether with pictures of the entrants
"weighing in," than letters began to
arrive, eight or 10 of them contain
ing offers of marriage, ihe chiet
"baby elephant" who modestly tips,
or rather upsets, the scales with her
323 pounds of avoirdupois, received
an offer of marriage from a New
York business man, whose name she
is carefully guarding. "I am ex
tremely fond of fat girls," he wrote,
"and the fatter they are the more I
love them."
Another entrant received a letter
which says in part:
"If vou call vourself fat. then I
am not a good judge of a nice built
young lady. If you are between 20
and 30 years of age I would be glad
to meet you.
Enterprising motion picture men
are also hot on the trail of the "baby
elephants" anxious to immortalize
their efforts to reduce on the screen.
They propose a series of pictures
durinar the entire two months, show
ing the girls when they begin the
course, at work and play, and the re
sults at the end of -the period.
