"in order to do th-is the public must have accurate information re-1 garding this disease- where it ori-' ginated, how it is caught, how it may be prevented and cured, where, and how treatment can be obtained, how it affects the individual and community, and what a tremendous toll it exacts in terms of human suffering.” o-

X an Wert Peony Queen i I V' k ~ *’* kU - * Mr .. ' loLi / r Miss Jill King, senior of Van Wert High School, has been chosen to rule over the Van Wert Peony Festival on June 9th, as Queen Jubilee. Miss Virginia Parrish of Willshire and Miss Rosemary Dunlap of Ridge were selected as ntaids of honor. The selection which was held before a packed audience was conducted and judged by Mrs. Livingston Frost and Mrs. Ida Taylor of Toledo, and Carl Roghert. of Fort Wayne. Queen Jubilee will have as members of her court the other contestants: Ruth Bricker, of Tully-Convoy; Dolores Wurst, of Middlepoint; Ruth Rumble, of Hoagland-Jackson; Lois Flickinger, of Union; Mildred Leininger, of York; Mary Steman, of Ohio City; Marie Bower, of Wren; and Idabell Cross, of Delphos High School.

In addition, the chief executive said he felt it would be a “good . thing" if the administration is able to further its agricultural objectives at this session of congress. | He made this statement in revealing that Ih' would study the legis- ' lative measure offered by farm organizations. 0 DUKE INVITES (CONTINUED FRI'M p age i Warfield, then the wife of Ernest | Simpson. The discussion was this, and opinion seemed equally divided: whether by selecting his fathers birthday for his wedding the duke had offended good taste or made a gesture of friendship to his | father’s memory. But the view seemed to be, In high circles and low. that if the duke must marry Mrs. Warfield, the sooner it was over and forgot ten the better. Astrologer Speaks | London, May 1» — <U.R) — Ann Maritzer, astrologer of the Daily Mirror, looked into the future today and forecast of the Duke of Windsors approaching niarriage to Mrs. Wallis Warfield: “There is a probability of a child being born who will become famous. The child from its arriv- ' al will absorb the whole life of the duchess." Miss Maritzer asserts that she. I first of anyone, predicted 16 | months ago that the duke and Mrs. Warfield would marry. Continuing her prediction, and basing her forecast on the planetary aspects for June 3, the wedding day, she says: "The aspects are very mixed

| and indicate considerable opposition and disappointment, not only front and through relatives but also equally from influential and | powerful sources. While certain planetary configurations propose jan impulsive start off for the 1 bridal pair, the marriage will not. progress along the idealistic lines j imagined by the duke and his , consort.” No Promises Monts, France. May 19—<U.R> Mrs. Wallis Warfield will not have to promise to obey the Duke of Windsor when they marry June 3, it was understood today. ■ And the duke will not have to promise to support her, it was rel ported. Papers conforming to tlip French marriage laws were filed with officials of the village today at the town hall — birth certificates of the Duke (June 23, 1894) and Mrs. Warfield (June 19, 1896) papers attesting to Mrs. Warfield s two divorces; extracts from British and American marriage laws, and consular certificates certifying that both parties were free to marry. Dr Charles Mercier, mayor of i Monts, is expected to perform the ceremony in (he library of the I Chateau de Cando where the duke and Mrs. Warfield are guests. —o COMPROMISES .rnNTiNUgp FROM Carl A.

son and that he “judged" it was satisfactory to the White House. This plan calls for addition of only one justice per year to the supreme court. It was conceded by several administration leaders that 'he final outcome must rest with the coarse which the president determines after the supreme court rules probably late 'bi' month on the i social security legislation. Admittedly, most senate leaders would prefer to accept the retirement of Van Devanter as progress and await further developements. possibly including more retirements, before forcing the court bill to final action. Concerning appointments to the Van Devanter vacancy. Attorney General Homer S. Cummings told erporters they could “assume that no reactionary judges will be appointed." Cummings declined to say whether a senator or representative would be .eligible for appoint ment. The question concerning such appointments centers around provisions in the Sumners bill enacted at this congress providing for retirement of supreme court justices at 70 years with full pay. Department of justice officials I have admitted it is a matter “of I speculation" whether the measuie increased the emoluments of the I offjce. If it did, this would batsenators or representatives from i the appointment under provisions I of the constitution. Cummings said the recommendation of the appointee to succeed ! Van Devanter would originate J with the department of justice and be forwarded to the president. The possibility of further vacancies on Ute high bench, either by

retirement or death, tended to bolster the courage of those democrats who would welcome almost any escape from a showdown vote on expansion of the court. Their strategy is delay. Some of Mr. Roosevelt's leaders conceded that ho would drop the plan if two more conservatives joined Associate Justice Willis Van Devunter In retirement. It appeared to non-partisan observers that one more retirement would junk the expansion bills. Administration “brain trusters" confident that some of the “objectives" of Mr. Roosevelt's judiciary plan will be achieved, immediately enlarged their legislative program for this session. They completed bills embracing ocntrol of national resources and regulation of wages and hours in industry and planned to revive proposals to reorganize the executive branch of the government. A court more favorable to new deal social and economic objectives. however, Is assured when the next term begins in October. The appointment of Van Devanter's successor will achieve that. But tlie sudden supreme court vacancy does not relieve the president of the urgent problem of handling a turbulent senate. DEATH CLAIMS /fP-NTyNr BID -FROM vive: Mrs. S. F.

SLAYER SEEKS DEATH PENALTY Mrs. Tiernan Wants To Die For Killing Her Daughter Riverhead, N.Y’., May 19 <U.R>Mrs. Helen Tiernan, 25, blonde. I sallow widow, prayed today that I death would be the penalty for killing her blue-eyed, 7-yearold daughter. Helen. Between sobs, she begged for "just one peep" at her son, Jimmy. 4, who survived I her murderous attack. Suffolk county authorities placed a guard outside her cell to pre- ' vent any attempt at suicide, while plans were made for a trial next month. Mrs. Tiernan struck Helen with a hatchet, slit her throat and set fire to her clothing—and tried to kill Jimmy in the same manner — because they stood in the way of her love for George Christopulus, swarthy Greek restaurant steward and former boxer.

Under the New York state law. no court can accept such a plea to a charge of first degree murder. “But I aiu guilty," she insisted.
