London, July 3, "Millionaires ire stingy husbands; at least mine ai." This remark was made by Edith Kelly Gould, some time con sort of Frank Gould, millionaire of the well-known Gould family of the United States. Miss Kelly was an actress, or rather in the chorus of the Gaiety, 14 years ago, when her romance with the millionaire New Yorker began. She is again an ac tress and again at the Gaiety, and j this time with her name Edith Kelly Gould in big block letters that run right across the playbills. In view of the matrimonial diffi culties that seem to be epidemic among American millionaires like the Stillmans and Joyces, I thought per haps she would have some pertinent observations to make on millionaires as husbands, expert advice to give Mrs. Stillman and Teggy Hopkins Mi the solution of their problems. Back Earning Living. "Advise Mrs. Stillman!" she re peated, with a startled tone, that dropped to the pathetic as she con tinued. "I wash she'd advise me. She seems to know how to make her husband provide an income for her. 1 haven t been able to make mine give me a penny. Now I am back on the stage earning a living. Isn't the whirligig of time wonderful?" The interview was taking place in one of the star's dressing rooms at the. Gaietv theater. Mrs. Gould was fllVU ill U WOIVI vvviiuniv, nil.

N The . next year Frank bought the theater and 1 sat in the stage box covered with jewels and dressed in the latest Paris fashions as wife of the millionaire owner. Now I am back working, and working hard. "Being the wife of a millionaire isn't the elysiutn girls think it is. Millionaires are stingy, as husbands. Mine was.

Jte gave me ex- i pensive automobiles, which I could not use without his permission, and then he would figure the distance I vas going and measure out the gas oline. Always About House. "Once when I took a car out he discliarsred the chauffeur for driving me. He was alwavs about the house, checking up the housekeeping billSj and even the washing. He would .complain severely if a servant wore more than two chemises a week. He affaHn't anvlhinor rls to do. Then there was the regular recital of the 'millionaire's litany.' 'Millionnair are above the law. They are so rich body.' You are constantly made to feel that your very existence is on sufferance, They dress, rrnament and feed you, let you live in beauti ful houses, but they do not seem to think that a woman needs a little .pending money. It isn't happiness My advice t girls is, don't marry idle millionaires. Marry working men." . . Largest Watch Known Is " Exhibited by Government Washington, July 3. The largest wnich ever known to he manufac tured is being exhibited in the price less collection of the government and housed in the National museum.

Jt is an exact duplicate of the standard 23 jewel watch of commerce, the jewels being synthetic stones. The time piece was constructed at a cost of ?. i,000 and represents some ot the finest workmanship of its kind in the country.

Will Rogers, the eccentric screen star, never had a part that fitted hiui so well as his latest role as Peep O'Day in "Boys Will Be Boys," at the Sun theater this week. It is a story of a "town character," who, having been reared in an or phan asylum, grew to a ragged and drab manhood. Unexpectedly, he falls heir to a fortune in far away Ireland, and determines to make up for lost time and buy the red topped boots he craved as a boy, and all the candy he could eat. There is a delightful love story in the picture. The Lyric Four offer exception harmony as a prologue to the pic ture. . Plenty of Speed for Reid. "Too Much Speed," which opened yesterday 'at the Strand theater, is one more rollicking, thrilling reason why Wallace Reid is the screen's most popular actor. The picture is a romance of rac track, love and busi ness, roaring with daredevil-driven speed cars. Agnes Ayres plays op posite Reid. Dorothy Dalton Again. The thrills of the days when the gold seekers crowded the "trail" to Alaska are lived again in Doro thy Dalton's latest picture, "The Idol of the North," which was pre sented at the Rialto theater last night. The author has framed a story with all of the rough and ready atmosphere of the Canadian north west, much of the action taking place in the Aurora Borealis saloon and dance hall of "Totem City," which is modeled after the Dawson City of the gold rush days. Miss Dalton is seen as a dancer, who, because of her energy in "trimming" the miners, is called "The Idol of the North." The miners seek revenge on her by forc ing her at the point of a gun to mar ry Martin Bates, derelict drifter to the northwest. She succeeds in not only making a man of him, but actu ally loving him. Mix a Gentle Wooer. The gentle art of wooing is por- traye'd in vivid manner by Tom Mix in his latest vehicle, "The Big Town Roundup." which opened yesterday at the Moon theater. The popular star appears as a young ranchman of Arizona who falls in love with a so ciety belle and, of course, wins her.' But he wins only after a series of stirring adventures and narrow es capes that are said to thrill the spec tator. Saint Mihiel. Folks Bewaii Apparent Neglect by U. S. Saint Mihiel, France, July 3. The Americans have forgotten Saint Mihiel. This is the plaint heard on all sides in this little village of the Meuse, where the American expeditionary forces, operating independently as a unit in 1918, gained one of the most brilliant victories of the war. American tourists are visiting every part of France, but this little corner. Those interested in the de vastated regions visit the sections close to Pans. Saint Mihiel, which before the war had 7.000 inhabitants was captured in the German advance in 1914 and was held by them for four years. For this reason it was never bombarded by the French artillery and the center of the town vas not greatly destroyed. The damage . in the outlying districts, however, is very great. Great surprise is expressed by the French that this center of a great American triumph should be neg lected. HOT! HOT! Harney o 7 8 4 Sanitary Wet Wash Laundry Means Better Laundering Backers of Thrcc Planc Navy Plan Fight in Senate Advocates" Claim Bill as Re vived By House, Ignores Important Lessons of World War. Chirac Trlban-Omaha Bm Laed Wir. Washington, July 3. When the conference agreement on the naval appropriation bill comes up in the senate Tuesday for final action sen atorial advocates of the "three-plane" navy are going to make a last ditch fight for the submarines and air plane carriers which the house cut out of the measure. , Senators contend that the naval bill, since its recent revision by the. house, ignores some of the most im portant lessons of the war, particu larly in relation to aircraft and sub marines. While the bill appropriates $900,000,000 for continuing the 1916 building program, composed largely ot capital ships, the provision tor air craft and submarines is pitifully small. The two airplane carriers provided for in the senate bill at a limited cost of $26,000,000 each, have been strick en out by the house, although infor mation from abroad is to the enect that the British navy is building six of these carriers, each capable of tending 80 airplanes. Some of the foremost American naval experts are strongly of the opinion that at a comparatively early date the air plane carrier will displace the dread naught as the capital ship of the modern navy. Senator King of Utah, democrat, is going to make a final appeal to the senate to insist on its amendments and to send the bill back to confer ence again. He contends that it would be far better to take some of the money appropriated for dread naught construction and use it fr airplane carriers and additional sire marines. The latest official report shows a total of 73,000 unemployed in the city of Glasgow.

Woman Spends Last Cent For Soap, 'Finds Gold Piece Berlin, July 3. A message from Cologne states that a German house wife saw in the window of a grocer's in the Neumarkt, soap at 3.50 marks a cake, and as the same kind of soap was sold everywhere at S.50 marks, bought 11 cakes, paying all the money she had with. her. Her husband, when he returned from work and was told of the cheap soap, growled, "Probably filled with sawdust," and rut one cake in two. A 20-mark ($5) goldpiece was dis closed. Each of the 10 other cakes contained a similar gold coin. Husband and wife hurried back to the shop, where a big box of such soap had been exhibited for sale. But the whole stock had been sold.
