WITHIN BERLIN
Foreigners More Concerned
With Their Own Comfort
Than Politics During
Kapp Regime.
London, May 1. Condition in
Berlin during the short-lived Kapp
regime are graphically described in
an article in the Daily Mail by G.
Ward Price, who declares that for
eigner in Berlin during the "revo
lution were more concerned with
the problem of getting a warm meal
than with the political fortunes of
the rival factions.
"To most of them," the article as
serts, "the political significance of
daily events was obscure, and, in
deed, secondary. The newspaper
correspondents, privileged in the
possession of their Ausweise, or
passes of which they held three
during the week, according to the
various changes of government
could go out and pass the barriers of
barbed wire, armored cars, machine
guns and soldiers armed to the
teeth with rifles, bayonets and
bombs and would return with the
latest official report from. the for
eign ministry or the chancellor's
place and the latter rumor from the
corner of the Wilhemstrasse,
which lias been the crowded forum
of this week's poliitical upheaval.
Tried to Follow Changes,
It , was their job to try to follow
the kaleidoscopic changes of the
situation from hour to hour. But
what interested the rest of the for
eigners in Berlin far more than
whether Kapp was shot as a traitor,
or whether Trebitsch Lincoln be
came German emperor, was the
speculation as to their chances of
getting a hot meal.
"People would pass on to each
other with the utmost secrecy the
names of obscure little eating
houses where, in spite of the gen
eral strike, they were still serving
warm victuals.
"War profiteers of the wealthiest
lurked in their suraptnous suites at
the AdloA, surrounded by all 1 the
luxury of gilded furniture and thick
pile carpets, scooping potted meat
out of tins by the light of a solitary
candle and surrounded by a revolt
ing litter of unmade beds, muddled
boots awaiting cleaning, and . the
scrans of the day before yester
day's cold meats still to be cleared
away.
' Gloat Over Havoc Caused.
"The waiters and chambermaids
at ths Adlon did, indeed practice so
cialist reprisals upon their capitalist
patrons. Although on strike, they
would come to the hotel every day
in plain clothes to gloat over the
hayoc which their abstention from
work caused, and to spoil the
Egyptians by' charging them three
marks for the privilege of boiling an
egg On a methylated stove in the
floor waiter's pantry.
"The guests at the Bristol, , the
-cther big hotel on the Linden, were
envied of all Berlin, for there the
management kept cold meals of
sparing quantity going at all times
with the hall page .boys serving as
waiters. . ' .
Husband Washed Dishes
, To Save Water, Says Wife
St. Louis, Mo., May 1. Henry
Ascher, apartment house owner and
reputed worth at least $100,000 was
so miserly that he washed the dishes
himself because he claimed his wife
used too much water, the wife, Mrs.
Birdie Ascher, testified in her suit
for divorce here. She asked for the
divorce on grounds of cruelty, claim
ing he beat her and choked her he
cause she was patriotic during the
war, took the ex-kaiser's picture
from the wall of their living room
and broke up a German phono
graph record to keep her husband
from playing it. He was pro-German,
she declared.
Ascher contested the divorce,
claiming they were never legally
I married, as the ceremony performed
, in Bellville, 111., in 1911, was less
than a year after his wife had been
divorced, by Samuel Schucat, in Wisconsin.
Hailstones as Large as

Chilhowe, Mo., May 1. 4 15-min-'
ute storm left hailstones piled 18

SAYS WOMEN
EXCEL MEN AS
ACCOUNTANTS
Methodist Minister Asserts Fair
Sex More Careful in
Handling Detail.
Br International Newt Orvlc.
Boston, May 1. Husbands who
ravfc over their wives' inability to
keep accounts should hear the sur
prising discoveries of Rev. Dr.X. E.
spaulding of Worcester, who lec
tured at the recent New England
Methodist conference.
"Women can keep accounts far
better than men," Dr. Spaulding as
serted. "Contrary to the general
opinion, women are as a rule far
more accurate and careful than men
in matters of detail. I would much
prefer to examine church ledgers
and books made out by the women
of the parish.
"Men disregard many of the little
things that absorb women. If you
hand a man a blank statement to fill
out, nine times out of ten he will
never stop for the individual items.
A woman, on the other hand, is
more careful, mere thoughtful.
The larger problems of business
and industry may be beyond her
scope, but in the smaller details she
has the advantage."
And furthermore, Do Spaulding
grants to the weaker sex an aver'
age of moral and intellectual su
periority, particularly in rural com
munities. Girl Cut Self Shaving
Leg for Open Stockings
Lawrence, Kan., May 1. A doc
tor who attended the session of the
University of Kansas health com
mittee meeting told a story of at
tending a young co-ed with a bad
cut wound above the ankle.
Questioned how she had hurt her
self, the girl finally admitted she
had used a safety razor. Reason:
Open-work stockings.
Realistic1 Air Raid Gives
Shock to London Woman
Denver, jMay 1. So 1 realistic
was the "night .air raid", over
Denver, staged in connection with
the local recruiting campaign for
enlistments in Uncle Sam s .Marine
Corps, tht Mrs. John Fatch, an
Englishwoman who was a victim of
Hun, air raids over London in 1W6,
is in a serious condition from shock.
While an airplane played hide and
seek with a huge searchlight, and
birdmen performed daring stunts in
midair, dropping "bombs" on a vast
threfng in City Park, Mrs. Patch,
walking in a downtown street, saw
the spectacle and went sudde'hly into
a paroxysm of convulsions. She ran
terror-stricken through the streets
until taken in charge by city patrol
men. When Mrs. Patch's identity was
discovered she was taken to her
home, where she is a nervous wreck.
Youngster Abandoned In
Hotel Room Is Adopted
St. Tohnsbury, Vt., May 1. Billy
Wheeler, the two-year-old infant
who was abandoned in a room at
the St. Johnsbury house and for
whose parents the police are still
searching, has been adopted by Mr.
and Mrs. George Franklin. The
child's grandmother has been located
at Buckfield. Me., but, being unable
to care for the child, it was given to
the Franklin family.
Baby Burns to Death;
-Sister Set Hay Afire
Westbury, Mass., May 1.- While
playing in a woodshed 7-year-old
Camilla Murchurino set fire to a
pile of hay. Her 3-year-old broth
er, Michael, was so badly burn

pital suffering from severe burns. ,
The little girl found some matches
and set them off. When the hay
biased up both children began to
scream and the mother rushed to
the rescue. Mrs. Murchurino got
both little ones out of the shed, be
ing badly burned about the hands
