London, April 17. Shall they be branded r if so, howf Columns of valuable news print are being given to the subject. Judg ing by the number of letters the edi tors receive the controversy must rank among what is known in the trade as "circulation builders." For a lot of folk must be buying news papers to follow the fight and see what the decision will be. -The subject, of course, is man. -To be more specific the married man. Why should he go his way, indis tinguishable from the unfettered male, while his spouse wears a plain gold mark of servitude? The origin of the question is lost in compara tive antiquity. No one remembers exactly who .or what newspaper first propounded the inquiry. And, so far, none knows where' it will end. Master and Mister. Let the unmarried man continue to be known as "Master" until he is married. Then let him become "Mister." Such is one suggestion. Others cite perfectly logical reasonings against the convention of changing the wife's name and mak ing no change in that of the men. A facetious male, who confesses that he has worn a wedding ring himself for 20 years, suggests that the only sure solution is to brand married men with an "M" on the forehead. While an editorial writer gravely discusses this and that side of the subject and concludes with a warning presumably to Britain's millions of surplus women that if the young bachelor 19 to be branded at the altar he'll very probably'de cide to remain a bachelor. And Lady Tree thinks it's all use less talk. "There needs no badge of servi tude," she writes. "There needs no plain gold circlet to single out the married man. He is unmistakable. "It is not that he is particularly . careworn. I have known men, mar-, ried and not careworn. Nor is he preternaturally . gay though there have been men both gay and mar ried. There does not brood upon his brow that undefinable expression half smug, half furtive, that we know so well. The Petrified Tear. "Suffice to say that married men pretending to be unmarried could not deceive a child. "But since the custom of husbands wearing wedding rings has evidently come to stay, let us at least observe it systematically. "Let us have a hoop of gold, plati num, silver or iron (according to the means and status of the wearer) upon the third finger of the left hand of every married man. "If, unhappily, he becomes a widower, a circlet of pearls (Orient, imitation or Christmas cracker) should adorn the second finger; and if, still more unhappily, again a wid ower, a ring, worn in addition to the other two. upon the first finger should be 'de riguer.' And for this I know of no prettier device than a blend of plaited hair. "In the case (and this the unhap picst of all), of a widower deter mined never to marry again, a sin gle diamond, like a bright tear petri fied, should be settled upon tin thumb. "And for the henpecked husband but no! I never could see the af finitv between the nose and the ring."' 1 No Rush, Aparently, to Rent This Neat Bungalow ' Paris, April 23. At Beaulieu sur Mer on the Riyiera 6tands a beautiful mansion in the midst of a large and shady park. It .is the property of Prince and Princess Hohenlohe-Schil-lingsfurst. Sequestrated at the begin ning of the war and used as a hos pital for American soldiers during the war the property was recently put up for auction by the French sequestra tion officials. It was estimated to be worth 80,000 francs and considered "cheap at that price. Nevertheless, no one came forward to buy. The prop city is now uninhabited and is con sidered burdensome to the sequestra tion officials. ' 1 . " ; 35,000 Pints a Day Is All Chicago Will Be Allowed Chicago, April 23. Chicagoan's will have to get along on 1,600.000 gallons of booze per year, according to rules drafted by Ralph W. Stone, new dry chief for the chemical de partment. Druggists have been' notified that they will be permitted to draw only 100 gallons of whisky and wine each per quarter. There are 2,000 drug stores iri Chicago. From the standpoint of the indi vidual this means that 35,000 pints of whisky and wine a day is to be divided between Chicago's 3,000,000 ( people. Too Many Clubs for College Students, Says Educator Columbus. O., April 23. "The college student of today is in too many clubs," declared Dr. E. E.

Scores of Men Enslaved by 3 Famous European Vampires Beautiful Chedorovska Audacious Crimes Men Orgies of German . Charmer in Berlin Land Her in Jail Russian Girl Murderer is Slain. Paris, March 26. "Vampires . of Fate" is the term applied by the French newspaper Paris-Midi to three famous beauties of Russia and Central Europe. One of the women is "The Beau tiful Chedorovska," who has just been arrested in Budapest charged with a score of audacious crimes whereof men enslaved by her charms were the victims. The second is Anna Sadck, who posed as a Russian grand duchess to the deception of all European high society, and who in February was tried and convicted for fraud by a Berlin court. The third is Krashinskaya, most sinister of all, who became a power in a Russian town, was public ex ecutioner and news of whose death at the hands of a soviet official has just reached Paris. Born at Warsaw, the" beautiful Chedofovska, whose, real name is Amelia Wisinsky, began her career as a dancer in a public cabaret. After several weeks she was the most talked of woman in Poland. Of tall, lithe form and face so lovely it was said to daze men who beheld her, she gave nightly dances practically unclothed of a character that caused a wave ot protest to sweep Warsaw. Men Were Her Victims. Together with Marguerite, her as sociate, who posed as her sister, she started on a systmatic campaign to victimize men. Soon men who had fallen prey to her fatal charm were to be counted by hundreds. Many rotests were made to the police, ut by exercising a subtle influence on the cruet ot police himselt she was able to keep out of jail. Her Waterloo came finally after she had obtained from one of her victims, Baron Lenken, the sum of $25,000. With police hot on her trail she went to frague. where she robbed an ex-captain of the German Hussars of diamonds and other jew elry worth $100,000. From Prague she went to Vienna, where, in a few weeks she succeed ed in getting from her dupes more than $80,000. Forced to leave Vienna, she went to Budapest, where she pretended to be a French woman of .high lineage, delegated on a' spe cial mission. Police investigated, however, and she was finally -arrested. Orgies Follow. Anna Sadek was one of the most beautiful women in Germany. When she was 18 years old, although with out visible means of income, she maintained, a luxurious apartment in the center of Berlin, to which were cajoled young men and young girls. Orgies that followed led to her arrest, when it was found that she owed huge bills to tradesmen wio thought she was a noble. ahe was sent to prison, but since the war she has been freed and re cently made her appearance as of old in Berlin, driving down the Ber line-strasse in a handsome carriage with uniformed footmen sitting be hind her. Arrested subsequently for having poijtical Advertisement. R FAL - Arrested in Budapest for obtained $150,000 fraudulently -from a banker, witnesses identified her as th famous srirl-crook bv her extra ordinary wealth of copper-colored hair. The Third Vampire. The third "vampire of fate," Krashinskava. arrived in . a town called Perchow on the Moscow-Pet- rograd line early during the soviet regime and, although absolutely a stranger within a few weeks attained a position as one of the comnlissar es. Soon the entire town was at her feet. One day she appeared in mascu Lne garments, the eternal cigarette between her lips, and announced that she had been appointed public executioner. She conducted a series of raids on suspected dwellings, slaying in summary fashion with a revolver every person she considered guilty. Dragging the dead bodies of her victims to the public square of the town, she ordered them burned. For weeks the town was terrorized by this extraordinary woman, who has been called the "Charlotte Corday" ofRussia. Looted From Mansions. At night she would appear garbed in wonderful dresses looted from mansions in Petrograd, ropes of beautiful pearls round her neck. But her reign was destined to be short. Hearing of the woman who had dared to do summary execution in .ts name, the executive committee of the communist party at Moscow sent a representative to investigate. When he demanded her letters of creden tials she opened fire, whereupon he drew a revolver and killed her on the spot. "As Bruyere said," commented Paris-Midi, "women are strange little animals, who can turn from the timidity of a gazelle to the fe rocity of a tigress." j Last Supper for Doomed ... Criminals Is Abolished Berlin, April 23. The "gallows meal" has been abolished in Saxony, according to a Dresden telegram re ceived here recently.
