HUSBAND CHOOSES HIS MOTHER
Now York, Sept. 3. A young London woman, Mrs. Viola Adel, now the wife of a doctor in New York, has appeal. ed to the British Crown for ald as "one friendless and penniless in a strange country."
Mrs. Adel, a tall, striking brunette, seeks help to combat annulment proceedings by her husband, Dr. Milton T. Adel.
Her petition was addressed to the King through Sir Gerald British Consul- Campbell. General here,

Lose A Fortune-
To Shoplifters
London, Sept. 3.
A bench of Londoa magistratos were amazed the other day when the manager of a bazaar told them that losses by theft from such stores were sometimes as much as £50 day.
But they would be more astonish- ed if they knew that the big stores of Britain write off £500,000 overy year to cover the cost of goods taken by shoplifters.
"We increase our staff to watch then people," the manager of a big West End establishment said, "but our hands are tied against most of the offenders. When we see some fashionable kleptomaniac tako
