See Page 2, Auto Section, Sunday. (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.) SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 28 j Mrs. Augusta Tiernan searched her house today, gathering together her wardrobe and the clothing of her children. And as she prepared to go away and forget, for a time at least, the scene of her eelf-alleged clandestine love meetings and the home of -her husband she searched from attic to basement for the play things of "Baby Billy" and the two Tiernan children whom she is de termined to take with her. There -was no sign of reconcilia tion in the Tiernan household. Mrs. Tiernan and Baby Billy will leave South Bend as soon as possible after the court determines the extent of Harry Poulin's guilt, she said. She was undecided as to where she would go or just when she would leave. "If the court finds Harry Poulin innocent of betng the father of my baby by, I fear that I shall never be able to stand it," she said. "They don't want me to go to the court room Saturday morning, but I shall be there and if the verdict is against me I fear I shall collapse. I know who is the father of my last born baby. Harry' Poulin must pay, and if they tell me that he is not Billy's father I shall prove in a higher court that he is. Something Might Happen. "I don't know where I am going, but I shall leave. Professor Tiernan wants to place our two children in a school in Chicago. I shall fight to take them with me. I couldn't live with a single one of them away from me. "There has been no reconciliation. John has stood by me wonderfully and perhaps the trial has brought us more closely together, but he has recognized that only for the purpose of proving Harry guilty. He has not offered to forget our past and start life anew, and I am in no position to ask him to. "Yes, there is a chance that some thing may happen before I leave that would again unite us in that happiness that was ours on our wed ding day. But whether or not we separate, I shall go away and take my Rabies, to rest from the strain of this ordeal. I shall remain away at least until the second trial. Then I shall return. Professor Tiernan has pledged to stand by me to right, so far as possible, the wrong that Harry Poulin has placed upon us Poulin has paid, through notoriety and publicity but not enough. He must pay to the very limit, and I shall fight to the highest court to prove him the father of my boy." Faith In Doctor Gone. Mrs. Tiernan may go to the home of her mother in Bronson, Mich., to recuperate. Although she met a French woman in Chicago yesterday who invited her to visit indefinitely at their home, she hesitated to go. Chicago is so big and noisy; I'd rather go into the country to rest," she said. Mrs. Tiernan, bitterly disappoint ed after her conference with Dr. Al bert Abrams, California specialist, in Chicago, has lost faith in his ability to prove the paternity of a child through blood tests. She be lieves that he has nothing but theory and neither she nor her husband would permit him to test their blood. Any other surgeon would be called in preference, they intimated, if a blood test were taken. 'He asked if I would be content to accept his finding, if he should declare Professor Tiernan the father of the baby. I told him no, that I knew without doubt who the child's father was. Then he -would, do nothing, except in open court," she said. Woman's Sanity' Donbted. He questioned her sanity. Professor Tiernan returned from Notre Dame this afternoon after his first day. in the classroom. His legal mind has caused him to scout Dr. Abrams' ability. He had held high, hopes for the test, but after a conference with the surgeon would under no conditions submit to a. test by him. It's great to get back in the har- ness at the university.

Scientific Service in Fitting egal Shoes The fitting device illustrated above scientifically and automatically registers and records, and translates into Shoe Sizes, the length and width of the shoe required to properly fit each stockinged foot when the Standing Weight is placed on the sensitive springs. The mechanism of this Fitting Machine is scientifically adjusted to measure the "foot expansion" (length and width) under the weight of the body when a woman is shopping or dancing or a man is walking or running, and the function of the foot under these conditions is to balance, propel and guide that weight. . The United States Government and the Regal Shoe Company have the exclusive use of this Measuring Machine which was designed and developed by the President of this Company and officially adopted for use by the United States Army Sept. 20, 1918 and also used by Navy and Marine Corps and in all training camps during the war EXTRACT FROM A MANUAL FOR COMMISSIONED OFFICERS WAR DEPARTMENT Document No. 879 October 28. 1918 Office of The Adjutant General "In all the tests made in 1917 and 1918, summarized as follows, the fitting system, herein made official, was employed." "In August, 1917, a survey of the enlisted men's feet at a camp showed that 81.77 per cent, of them were in shoes from one-half to three and one-half sizes too short; 3.07 per cent. were wearing too-long shoes. ' and 15.16 per cent, were wearing correct-size shoes." "At another, camp, in August, 1918, 88.6 per cent, of the men were found to be wearing shoes from one-half to three and one-half sizes too short; 1.4 per cent were wearing too long shoes, and 10 per cent, of the men were wearing shoes of correct size." The old "Rule of Thumb," Foot-Rule, Tape Measure or Size Stick doesn't measure the expansion of the tranverse arch or the extension of the longitu dinal arch under the weight of the body when marching and that's the rea son for the alarming condition revealed by these reliable statistics. Our experiments in measuring the feet of new customers this Season in the Chain of Sixty Regal Stores from New York to San Francisco have convinced us that the percentage of "misfits" in the Army Survey is not materially changed in Civilian Shoes. We believe that proper fitting is the most valuable service that can be offered to the public, and as a result of our tests we have installed this Measuring Machine in every Regal Store, and whether or not you are a Regal Customer, this Scientific Measuring Machine is now At Your Service" All One Price 7 0 Itrstr City r-gj-- -a FOR MEN AND WOMEN FOR MEN AND WOMEN 347 WASHINGTON STREET - PORTLAND (Between Broadway and Park Streets) From Co ast To Co aTst yi ri R egal STo re s One Price Mew York PSIIidatpiH etlewt Kansas CI?
