ASSAILS CLERKS

FOR LICENSING

CHILD COUPLES

Judge Cox Says Permits Given for Sole Purpose Of Getting Fees.

Circuit Court Judge Earl R. Cox today scored marriage license clerks for “issuing licenses to juveniles for the sole purpose of collecting the $2 fee.” He made his attack after annulling the marriage of a 15-year-old child bride, Mrs. Anna Skaggs, and her 16-vear-old husband, Ansel N. Skaggs, 446 N, Haugh St., grocery clerk

The girl's parents today asked the annulment. County clerks in Tndiana border counties, where alleged “marriage mills” are in operation, have been accused of laxity in issuing licenses because of fees they collect by selling unofficial “marriage certificates.” Blames Clerks “Most of the blame for child marriages rests squarely on marnage license clerks,” Judge Cox said. “Ii seems that now in Indiana, couples

ACCIDENTS UP OVER LAST YEAR

Gain of Nearly 75 Per Cent Reported by Office of Sheriff.

Times Special GREENCASTLE, Nov. 5.—For the first 10 months of 1937, automobile accidents in Putnam County have increased nearly 75 per cent as com-

pared with the same period last year, Sheriff John Sutherlin today. “Most of these accidents are a di- | rect result of carelessness,” the | Sheriff said. “People just fail to observe the signs. “Nine miles north of Greencastle, | where State Road 36 crosses Na- | tional Highway 43, the state road | has ‘stop’ signs and the national road has ‘slow’ signs. However, both are seldom heeded, and some of our worst wrecks have happened there.”

57 Collisions Reported Fifty-seven collisions involving | two or more cars or trucks have occurred during the first 10 months of this year, while only 27 were reported for the same period in 1936. Furthermore, the Sheriff predict-

ed that at least twice this many |,

AUSTIN, Tex., Nov. 5 (U.P). —PFirst important contribution to astronomy by instruments for the McDonald Observatory near Ft. Davis, Tex., owned by the University of Texas, was announced here today. The milky patch of light in the constellation Cygnus consists largely of hydrogen and oxygen, Dr. Otte Struve, joint director of the Yerkes and Mc=Donald Observatories, reported. The discovery, it was revealed, was made with the aid of a new photographic instrument constructed for the Texas observatory by an amateur telescope builder of Chicago, C. H. Nicholson. By means of this camera and a pair of powerful quartz prisms, astronomers in the Yerkes Observatory at Williams Bay, Wis, determined the chemical content of the nebulosity.

ETHICS ARE LISTED BY MANUFACTURERS

NEW YORK, Nov. 5 (U. P.).— The National Association of Manufacturers made public today a declaration of “ethical business principles,” which it said was “a direct answer to those who challenge industry to put its own house

in order.” Such a challenge was made by President Roosevelt, The association's committee on industrial practices, which drafted the declaration, announced that its accompanying report would be submitted to the Congress of American Industry Dec. 7 to be studied by manufacturers throughout the country.

new president of the American Chemical Society. Contending that since the development of transportation, pestilence has not been confined to

given localities and that the menace of pestilential invasion has increased, Whitmore declared that soon there would be no special types of pests confined to specific areas. “The pests from each locality will be spread eventually to every other locality,” he said. “This means trouble.” Visualizing further the possibility of this “great war” across the species, Whitmore said: “The organic chemist overcome the unfair which the insects have. nately, most insect poisonous for animals. “The present trend, and one which is accelerating very rapidly, is to use organic insecticides which are poisonous to insects but harmless to higher animals and men.” Whitmore deprecated the belief that the organic chemist and his work are great factors in modern warfare, holding that the bayonet was still more lethal than high explosives, gases, and other chemical weapons of slaughter. He called the bayonet the “civilized equivalent of the uncivilized jagged rock in the hand of an infuriated caveman.”

Kaiser Kidnap Story to Pay |

Doctors’ Bills,

NEW YORK, Nov. 5 (U. P).—| The story-behind-the-story of how | Col. Luke Lea of the American Ex- |

peditionary Forces and seven Tennessee comrades tried to kidnap | Kaiser Wilhelm after the Armistice | was told today. T. H. Alexander, columnist for the | Nashville Tennesseean, told it. The disclosure of the ambitious foray was predicated on the affliction of | Mr. Alexander's son, T. H. Jr., who | is convalescing in Orthopaedic Hos- | pital from two operations to correct spinal curvature induced by infantile paralysis. Col. Lea, former Senator and newspaper publisher, and his buddies made two attempts to capture the Kaiser and on one of them penetrated to his chateau in Holland. But they returned empty handed, and pledged themselves not to tell the story for 15 years. Three years ago the time limit ran out. Since then, Mr. Alexander said, he had been trying to get the story. He did, and it was published in the Saturday Evening Post on Oct. 23.
