GREENCASTLE, Ind., March 2. —Marital happiness depends much on whether the husband looks up or down at his wife, says Miss Rosalie McCullough, De Pauw University senior. ‘‘Elevating heer glance to the strong features of her masculine mate will prove to be much more inspirational to the modern girl during middle age than gazing down upon the bald head of her somewhat shorter husband,” opines Miss McCullough. Miss McCullough pointed out in a chapel talk to the masculine gender that “the modern girl demands that her ideal man be at least as tall as she.” ‘‘After passing through the stages of freckled and caveman heroes, the upper class woman on the De Pauw campus has come to consider her ideal man in seven relative characteristics,” she said. “The ideal man must first be

Bu SEA Service PITTSBURGH, Pa., March 2. If the so-called fualless motor should prove a success and revolutionize the automotive and aviation industries, Lester J.

He need not of necessity have a college degree, but he should come from a family with a good social background,” she continued. “He must think more of his home than the corner drug store.

If it had missed him, he might not have designed the motor which has won praise from some experts and caused others to shake their heads in doubt. But the highwayman's bullet

So he took Hendershot “under his wing,” so to speak, advised him against talking and started to do-a little investigating. Investigation strengthened his belief in it, instead of cooling his enthusiasm. Stout, the big airplane man from Detroit, was both interested and puzzled when Peat had laid the idea before him. Then came Lindbergh. Lamphier, the Guggenheim Foundation, and others. And now, the idea is to be tested to determine whether it is practical industrially.

‘SECOND HAND’ BABY FACES DEPORTATION Question If Bought Child Entered United States Illegally. MOTHER ADMITS CHARGE Feigned Birth to Save Home, Says Society Wife: Now Lives Only for Baby. By United Press DETROIT, March 2.—The deportation of 4-year-old “Joseph Boyer” was threatened today. John L. Zurbrick, district director of immigration, said that Mrs. Myron L. Boyer, heretofore believed to be the mother of the “Joseph,” must appear Monday before a special board of inquiry, which will decide whether the child should be deported. Zurbrick said the board will determine whether the child illegally entered the United States. If the child is ordered deported, it can not re-enter this country for a year. According to the formal petition of Mrs. Boyer’s husband, filed in the Ingham Circuit Court in an effort to punge the record of the purported birth of “Joseph” in the United States, the child was bom in Canada, legally adopted by Boyer’s wife and smuggled into the United States. Mother Admits Charges By United Press ROYAL OAK, Mich., March 2. Four-year-old “Joseph Boyer.” born in obscurity, but snatched up by the fates to the lap of luxury, swung back to comparative poverty today when Mrs. Laura Boyer revealed that for three years she had foisted him upon her wealthy husband as their child, whereas actually he was not. “I did it to save my home,” was Mrs. Boyer’s explanation. In his brief lifetime, “Joseph Boyer” has lived with the gold spoon in his mouth, the envy of the less fortunate. He attended an exclusive kindergarten in Palmer Woods. Detroit, taken to and from his play school in a great limousine. Actor Is Friendly Without realizing it, of course, he faced the pleasing prospect of an inheritance of millions. From all appearances he was heir to the vast wealth pyramided in the operations of Burrough Adding Machine Company, of which his grandfather, Joseph Boyer, was chairman of the board of directors. Now. suddenly. “‘Joseph Boyer” has returned to the nameless State in which he was born. His mother admitted in an interview that he was not here, that his “birth” at. her home in 1923 was not a birth, but a trick by which she smuggled him Into her home to appease the desire for fatherhood of her husband, Myron Libby Boyer. The “birth,” however, has been officially recorded and, being fraudulent, must be expunged, according to a petition filed in the Ingham Circuit Court by Myron Boyer. Mrs. Beyer is in full accord with the suit. She said it was a “friendly action” to establish correctly the child’s status. “I have lost a home but won a child” the pseudo-mother said. “The receit has been worth a thousand times what It cost I love this boy more than anything else in the world. ' Lives Only for Boy “Everything Mr. Boyer charges In his suit Is true. I planned the deception carefully, to give my husband his heart’s desire—a son. I did it as a desperate measure to save our home. I thougll a child’s love would make Mr. happy and contented. It did—for a while. Then not even the baby could hold him. “I did not intend to defraud the Boyer family. I Just wanted to make Mr. Boyer happy. Now I suppose the child will lose everything else In the world by my love. He will lose even the name Joseph, because I do not believe Mr. Boyer will care to have him use It under the circumstances. “I do not care what the world thinks of my little plan. It was Justified as I saw It. Now, I live only for my boy. I can always support him, no matter what happens.” Mrs. Boyer was an employe of the company of which her fatherin-law Is chairman, when she met her husband. sororityTolntertain Beta Sigma Delta Will Take Part in “Showdown.” The Beta Sigma Delta sorority of the Teachers’ College of Indianapolis will entertain at a “showdown” to be given by the college sororities at the D.
