Long, l’rmu'letm‘ English “'oman Tiakes Odd Contri- bution to Aid “'ar. A writer in the Woman’s Home Companion says: “One day an English woman who must understand her own sex very well had a beautiful, thrilling inspir- ation. Perhaps in her strenuous sewing for the soldiers she had to discard a punctured silver thimble for one of brass or composition. Per- haps she just stumbled upon a bat- tered, forgotten thimble which had served another generation of nimble fingers. At any rate, she decided that probably every home in her town could boast a thimble in or out of service. Now, if all these sil-ver thimbles were gathered up, sent to a Silversmith, melted and refined, they would come forth from the processâ€" money! Money with which to buy ambulances and equip hospitals. The “unwritten law,” whereby a. 3 man may kill his wife’s seducer, was irecognized by an English jury re- .cently for the first time Within the lrecollection of the English public. ‘ “Justifiable homicide in self-de- fence,” was the verdict rendered by a London jury in the case of Lieut. g Douglas Malcolm, who shot and kill- ‘ed a foreigner, Anton Baumberg, styling himself "Count Deborch." “She began by collecting thimbles from friends and neighbors. Thimbles came rolling in ”mm every direc- tion. The richest and the humblest sent them. Then there were women, hundreds of them, who had no silver thimblesâ€"and were sorry for it. They wrote, asking whether they might send other bits of silver or goldâ€"an old silver spoon or two, a. napkin ring, a cuff link, a watch charmâ€"old-tashioned, even bent or broken, but wrought from the pre- cious metal. "The answer to such queries was always the same: ‘Nothing too large. Nothing too small.” “The heaps of discarded thimbles and trinkets grew. The mint melted them and then returned them, ingots of silver and gold. In a year, “The Silver Thimble Fund’ was able to dis- pense the following splendid chari- ties: f Lieutenant Malcolm, who was a Ewealthy young merchant before the lwar, returned on leave from France , and found his wife with the so-called count. He attacked the “count” and , afterwards challenged him to a duel, ’but the “count” ignored the chal- i lenge. Malcolm visited the “count’s” 1 London lodgings and other lodgers utestified to hearing a struggle, fol- llowed by a revolver shot. They found the “count" dead. “Seven ambulances. , “Five motor hospital boats for Mesopotamia. “One disinfector. “Two thousand pounds sterling to Navy Employment Agency for Dis- abled Sailors. “Two thousand two hundred and fifty pounds sterling to the Star and Garter Fund. “Ten thousand pounds sterling for disabled soldiers and sailors. “Two hundred and twenty-two pounds sterling in small grants to hospitals and supply bureaus. “Fifteen thousand pounds sterling, or seventy-five thousand dollars, had been raised by gifts from those who thought they had nothing worth sell- â€"vvâ€"â€"_ After leaving the premises Mal- colm surrendered to the first police- man he met. He testified before the coroner’s jury relative to Deborch’s actions, but did not suggest self-de- fence in killing the man. Malcolm’s wife admitted her delinquency. It developed that Deborch was for a brief period in service with the officers’ training corps, but that he was under police suspicion of being an international spy and was listed by the police as a professional spy. A rather embarrassing case of heroâ€"worship occurred in a London county school the other day. The embarrassment was all on the side of the hero, as will be seen. He is a teacher; who has-been to the war for two years, and has come back to his desk, having lost an arm and a leg in the service of his country. The boys in the whole school are devoted to him, and his class simply has forgot- ten what indiscipline means. The other day the teacherâ€"say his name was Taylorâ€"was talking to his boys about the war, and he asked them who was the greatest British military figure who, in their opinion, stood out head and shoulders from all others in this conflict. And the an- swer was a unanimous shout of “Mr. Taylor.” Whereuoon the ordinary ' lesson was hastily resumed, Mr. Tay- lor having got quite hot, and mur- mured, “Not quite.” Because of an exaggerated state- ment in some American newspapers regarding the casualties in the medi- cal corps of the British army, Col. ‘.â€"L Anm" WL \IVL'IV vâ€" T. H. Goodwin, of the British army medical service, who has been on this continent since the visit oi the British commission, cabled to the British War Office for the facts. In had been wounded, and 62 had died of disease. The newspaper story, of which this was a refutation, stated that 257 had been killed within an hour in one battle, and that in an- other engagement 400 had been killed. Speaking chimney S“ in a case i- name as “Where 011 distinction ? Got a Degree. Speaking about college degrees, a chimney sw ep who was complainant in a case in. Edinburgh gave his name as Jamie Gregory, LL.D. “Where on earth did you get that distinction?” asked the attorney. “It was a fellow frae an .American'uni- versity,” answered Jamie. “I sweepit his chimney three times. ‘I eanna pay ye (ash, Jamie Gregory,’ he says, ‘but I’ll mok’ ye LL.D. an’ ve’ll ca’ it ouits.’ An’ he did. sir."
