Back in Roumania, Andrew’s wife, Sara, was obedient and home-loving. But she wasn't in Gary long before she cast aside the decorous ways and decorous garb of her homeland and -went in for silk hosiery, short skirts, bobbed hair, lipstick, rouge and meals of canned food, he alleges in a divorce suit filed here. That canned food irks Andrews most of all. Mrs. Market, he says, refused to bake bread and pies or do any other cooking for him. He tired of canned beans, hominy, corn and garlic, and sorrowfully remarks that America is spoiling women. 0 British Woman Issues Challenge To All Comers To Cross-Channel Race Sheffield, Eng., Oct. 22 — (UP) — Mrs. Ivy Gill, who claims to have conquered the English channel recently after remaining in the water 15 hours and three minutes, has challenged all comers to a cross-channel race. Mrs. Gill proposes that if none of the competitors land, the swimmer nearest the English coast be acclaimed winner. Incensed at the recent hoax of Dr. Logan, Mrs. Gill went to Dover and obtained signed statements from the crew which had accompanied her on her swim from Cape Gris Nez to Shakespeare Cliff. Her competitive proposal, she believes, will prove that her claims to the channel conquest are genuine. o Will Haves And Others Give $160,000 To Wabash Crawfordsville, Oct. 22 — (INS) — PresldentVouis B.
