MONEY GAIN IS RENOUNCED BY CONTRACT BRIDE 29-Year-old Teacher Signs Agreement to Live With Mother-in-Law. fl United Prett NORFOLK. Va.. July 4—A marriage contract whereby a 29-year-old school teacher bride renounces forever any financial claim upon her 50-year-old husband was characterized by the officiating pastor today as "emphasizing the true love in that union." The Rev. Thomas A. Smoot, pastor of Epworth Methodist church, to which both principals belong, could not say whether Mrs. Mary Louise Baker Jordan or her husband, Carl Moore Jordan, a prominent lumber dealer here, originated the unusual agreement. A perusal nf the contract on file at the corporation court cleric's office today, however, disclosed that Jordan and Miss Baker met four years ago, reached an understanding on the agreement last Feb. 6, signed it in the presence of a notary public May 30, and were married June 30 without abrogating it in any particular. Renounces Money Gain Renunciation of any monetary gain from the marriage was made by the bride, who even agreed to altering the Methodist marriage ritual so that the words "and with all my worldly goods I thee endow” were stricken from the rites. There are more than two thousand legally binding words in the contract, which, briefly summarized, establishes Jordan as "the acknowledged head of the house,” w'hose wishes and directions “will be obeyed and carried out.” Mrs. Jordan agrees to live at the home of Jordan’s mother—"to be a daughter of her husband’s mother." Jordan lives with his mother, Mrs. Alice Moore Jordan. Every bill contracted by the wife must previously have had Jordan’s "written consent, given for each individual bill.” The same airtight provision applies to bills which she might wish to contract against herself. Pact "Made Willingly” It is stipulated, however, that any property the wife possessed before marriage or may acquire after marriage. is to be her sole property, to do with as she sees fit.” "The said Mary Louise Baker,” the contract sets forth, "understands and agrees that she is surrendering her youth to meet the requirements of a man of 50. that ?he is doing this readily, willingly and with full understanding of the requirements and obligations w'hich she is undertaking.” GOBS LIKE THEIR NAVY flu T'nilefl Prett WASHINGTON.

TAKING WORLD’S WORST JOURNEY Here is a Chance to Compare Byrd’s Airplane Dash to the South Pole With a Terrible Experience. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN AFTER reading Apsley Cherry-Garrard’s “The Worst Journey in the World," I am of the opinion that Commander Byrd with his airplane, splendidly equipped expedition and his wireless had just a modem Antarctic holiday. This is no reflection upon Byrd and all that he accomplished, including the taking of actual movies of his trip to the pole. “The Worst Journey in the World” is a 580-page book published by Lincoln MacVeagh. The Dial Press of New York, and written by CherryGarrard. a member of Scott’s ill-fated f rip to the south pole in 1910-1913. Chcrry-Garrard is the only survivor of that terrible trip made on

foot, with dogs and in several instances with .he aid of ponies. Then death to Scott and all of those who were actually with him on his dash to the south pole to find that another human had beaten him to the goal. Then for all of his trouble—death, terrible death whiie trying to reach his base camp anc safety. When I remembei the Byrd movie taken on his rather de luxe trip to the south pole, compared to Scott’s terrible experiences, it seems to me that the pathfinders to the pole deserve to be remembered for blazing the trail. Cherry-Garrard has written a most careful narrative of the world's worst journey. The book has been correctly named. In speaking of the actual approach on foot to the south pole, the author writes: “Five men went forward. Scott, Wilson, Bowers, Oates and Seamar, Evans. They reached the pole on Jan. 17 to find that Amundsen had reached it thirty-four days earlier. They returned 721 statute miles and perished 177 miles from their winter quarters.” And then you appreciate what Byrd with his modem equipment, and the results of others who had previously been to the pole, accomplished without the loss of a single man. Byrd-has not given the world his scientific data. Cherry-Garrard in his book gives lot of scientific data and minute observation upon actual conditions in the Antarctic regions. Byrd by having movies taken gives us the actual picture of conditions. By and met. the same conditions of suffering as Scott but Scott and his party which reached the pole perished. Where Scott went on foot—Byrd went in the air. The reason for the delay in publication of Cherry-Garrard’s books is stated by the author as follows: "I need hardly add that the nine years' delay in the appearance of my book was caused by the World war. Before I had recovered from the heavy overdraft made on my strength by the expedition I found myself in Flanders looking after a fleet of armored cars.” From the standpoint of reading Cherry-Garrard's ‘ The Worst Journey in the World " is the most exciting and terrible adventure ever recorded. Read it all or in part. But you will read it all. * n a At Walnut Gardens today the Fourth is being celebrated with auto races. Broad Ripple is having swimming and othpr events.

TARIFF RATES STUDY IS REGUN FDR PRESIDENT Findings to Show Hoover Whether to Slash or Boost Levies. WASHINGTON, July 4.—President Hoover’s plan for adjusting inequalities in the Hawley-Smoot tariff bill under the flexible provision is in full swing today as the tariff commission began more than a score of investigations ordered by the senate. The inquires are to determine whether the tariff rates are justified by the difference in production costs here and abroad. If they are not, they may be adjusted. When Mr. Hoover signed the tariff bill he said the manner in which it had been drafted, by compromise and negotiation, prevented

it frer being perfect. He pointed, however, to the flexible clause as a means through which mistakes could be corrected. Some congressmen and business leaders maintain the rates in the bill are too high. The President’s statement implied that many of the rates could be lowered through the operation of the flexible provision. The general nature of the inquiries ordered by the senate, however, leaves some doubt as to whether the general trend of changes will be downward or upward. Senator Reed (Rep., Pa.), for instance, proposed an inquiry into the cost of pig-iron in which Pennsylvania is interested, apparently seeking an increase in duty. Likewise, Senator Bingham (Rep., Conn.) proposed inquiries into the costs of production of wire netting, wire fencing, on which he seeks a higher tariff. Senator Copeland (Dem., N. Y.) obtained an investigation of the duty on sugar with a view to obtaining a higher rate on refined sugar to protect American refineries. Senator Borah (Rep., Idaho), obtained inquiries into the costs of cement, furniture, shoes and farmers’ hand tools. He is opposed to a tariff on all these things.

The Great Smoky Mountains, called "Guilk-sus-tee” by the Cherokee Indians and on top of which the boundary lines of North Carolina and Tennessee meet, have been preserved in all their beauty and majestic glory by action of congress in creating a national park of the area. Bryson City rests in the heart of the hills, one mile from where one can cross into this vast acreage chosen by the United States as a national park for eastern America. The valley at the foothills is traversed by State Highway 10, near which the Tuckaseegee, Little Tennesssee and Nantahala rivers flow. Outstanding in the Smokies and visible from Bryson City is Clingman’s Dome, the master peak, 6,680

feet high. There are thirteen other peaks more than 6,000 feet in height One of them has been named for Horace Kephart, Bryson City writer, author cf "Our Southern Highlanders.” St. Peter's cathedral in Rome occupies an area of 227,069 square feet.
