MARRIAGE? IT’S JQKEJO GIRL Wed ‘Just for Fun’ at 19; Seeks Annulment. Some joke, this marriage business. That's what 19-year-old Mary Stafford thinks of it, and that’s what she asks the superior court to think it is in her petition for the annulment of her marriage to Charles Wishmeier. The petition says that Mary’s venture into wedded bliss was nothing but a joke—not the least bit serious. She and Wishmejer, who started “keeping company in August, 1925, joked requently about getting married,” the petition says. Just to make it a real good jest they drove to Franklin one night, obtained a marriage license, and were wed. “But I didn’t understand we were contracting a real marriage,” she insists. “I was thoughtless, immature, and entertained no serious thoughts of marriage.” On those grounds, and on the alleged facts, the couple never lived together and did not obtain the consent of Mary’s parents, although she was under legal marriage age, the girl seeks an annulment and the restoration of her maiden name. INDICT BOY IN DEATH Charge Manslaughter in Auto Crash. Richard Lowther Jr., 19, of 5540 Central avenue, was indicted Wednesday by the Marion county grand jury for the death of Julius Underwood of Jamestown, Ind., Jan. 7, 1929, when Underwood was riding in a car hit by Lowther’s auto. The indictment charges involuntary manslaughter and alleges that Lowther was driving past Fifty-sec-ond street and Central avenue at fifty miles an hour. Louther will be arraigned April 1. Harry Davis, Negro, 1511 Garfield avenue, also was indicted for assault and battery with intent to murder. He is alleged to have attacked Alphonse Kaelin, 2926 North Delaware street, with a hammer, beating him severely, Feb. 21.

‘LITTLE GREEN HOUSE’ TAKEN OVERBY FRAT Notorious by Rumor Under Harding, Now Occupied College Boys. By United Press WASHINGTON, March 21.—“ The little green house on K street,” often labeled the “fraternity house of the Harding administration,” is now a real fraternity house occupied by twenty students of George Washington university. The house, fabled in fiction of the men associated with the post-war administration of President Harding, recently was brought back to public attention by former Attor-

ney-General Harry Daugherty’s denial he had ever been in it There is nothing about the house today which gives the slightest indication of the sinister rumors which surrounded it seven years ago. When the fraternity—a chapter of Delta Tau Delta—moved in a year and a half ago, there were a few marks left o* the old days. One mark, which was supposed to have played a prominent part during the Harding administration —the wine cellar, was torn out by the college boys and converted into a chapter room. According to those who live in the house now, the wine cellar gave evidence of free and frequent use. There was sawdust on the floor, numerous racks for bottles along the walls and heavy wooden doors barring the entrance. It was in this wine cellar that rumor had many initiated into the business of corrupt politics. Today the same room is used for harmless initiations into the fraternity. A few years ago, it is said, the front door was closed tightly and opened only after a person had con-

vinced a colored butler he was “right.” Today, the doors are wide open with the comradeship of fraternity and college life. Laughs Instead of Whispers Where once rumor had whispering of “deals” politcal and financial, there is now the hearty laugh of college youths. Many close to the president were supposed to frequent “the little green house on K street.” Jess Smith, the shoe store proprietor, who became highly influential in the department of justice,; Mel Daugherty, brother of the attorney general; Gaston Means, former justice department agent who went to Atlanta penitentiary; Charles Forbes, former chief of the veterans bureau, who ended his political career in the penitentiary, and many others were reported to have visited the house. Boys Impress Visitors The boys living there today know of the history and rumors surrounding the house and use this knowl-

edge to impress visiting fraternity brothers. On the second floor a large hook protrudes from the wall. When a more credulous visitor arrives, he is escorted to this hook and told with all solemnity that this was the hook Jess Smith hung himself from. In fact. Smith shot himself in a hotel room several miles from the green house. The fastest living thing on legs is said to be the whippet, racing To End Skin Torture Use Invisible Zemo Surprising and gratifying, is the way soothing, cooling Zemo, the remarkable antiseptic liquid, relieves itching rash, blemishes and other skin affections.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNt The secret of keeping young is to feel young—to do this you must watch .your liver and bowels—there's no need of having a sallow com-plexion-dark rings under your eyes —pimples—a bilious look in your face—dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inactive bowels and liver. Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable compound mixed with olive cii as a substitute for calomel to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are gentle in their action yet always effective. They bring about that natural buoyancy which all should enjoy by toning up the liver and clearing the system of impurities. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are known by their olive color. 15cv 39c and 60c.—Advertisement.
