COURT DECISION

Clash Expected to Follow Review of Marriage Annulment Appeal.

ROME, July 5-Italy's supreme the court of cassation, took under review today an annulment appeal that has become historic, hinging on & premarriage agreement to “take necessary preventive measures to avoid procreation” and separate upon “spiritual and phvsical alienation.” : The Roman Catholic ecclesiastical tribunal of Tientsin, China, annulled the marriage. The Florence civil court of appeals, however, refused to do £0 ; Thus state and church, in their views on marriage, are brought to- | gether the case and, whatever | the decision, a controversy was ex- |

pectea Signed an Agreement |

Antonio Riva and Emilia Corradi | were married at Florence in 1921, Before the marriage they signed an | agreement which said in part: . “In full accord the partners agree to take necessary preventive measures to avoid procreation . . . In case of physical and spiritual aliena- | tion we agree to separate. . . | Whenever one of the partners no | longer feels for the other the affection which inspired the marriage, | he shall openly declare himself, immediately and without recrimination, gnd the other partner will re- | neunce every conjugal right.” The couple went to China, but separated four years afterward. Divorce was not recognized in Italy, but the signing of the Lateran treaty between the Vatican and the Italian Government was thought to show a wav out. |

Annulment Is Granted

Signora Riva was advised to seek annulment on the ground that the | marriage never was valid for want | of accord. She obtained one, the decision citing: “A matrimonial accord is an act of will by means of which both parties give and accept the exclusive eternal right to each other's person in relation to acts given for genera- | tion of offspring.” The annulment decree was for- | warded to Italian civil courts for | their action. But the civil courts | held: { “Mental reservations expressed or | not expressed by partners prior to marriage can not invalidate an accord manifested by them to a representative of the eivil state. In any svent, vears of cohabitation sealed | the marriage. Reservations may have validity as to religious mar- | riage, which is a sacrament . . . but | cannot have validity in civil matrimony, which is contractual and not sacramental.” | It was the final appeal from this decision that the Supreme Court took under consideration today.

BRITAIN ORDERS SHORT TRAINING FOR WAR PILOTS

Intensified Program Is Seen Valuable for U. S. Air Service.

By MAJOR AL WILLIAMS U. 8. Marine Corps, Reserve News Item: “Air Commodore Robert Leckie, director of training in the British Royal Air Force, inspected the advance training school of the U. 8. Army Air Corps at Kelly Feld, Tex.” Air Commodore Leckie's comment that the flight-training methods and results of the Royal Air Force and our Army Air Corps are identical, is interesting at this time, because the British are really up against it to provide flying men and aviation mechanics for their expanding air organization. Until recently the British flight training period was one year. But the pressure of airplanes rolling from factory doors with no pilots [to man them forced curtailment of

| the course to 37 weeks and 150 |

Raeburn Van Buren, noted artist, brings you a comic strip filled with real folks and real fun

So true to life and human nature are the scenes and the people in Abbie an’ Slats that they write their own story and grow their own humor.

Slats is a youngster from the city—the city you see from the elevated, the city of bedding airing in dingy windows, of the bedlam of street ball games in the midst of thundering trucks, of white-faced kids downing pink chemical drinks peddled for a penny.

Abbie is Slats's old maid aunt in the country—the country of giant elms and green-shuttered white houses, of griddlecakes on snowy mornings and cool milk from the spring-house on long summer afternoons. And Slats goes to live with her.

Out of this come drama and humor and—because Slats meets Judy there romance. And plenty of all. . , . It's a fresh and beguiling and exciting comic. for it :
