Picturesque feudal ceremonies of 600 years ago were revived here when the Prince of Wales, who is also Duke of Cornwall, paid a visit to the old-time capital of his duchy. Launceston has been a royal borough since about 10S6. The ceremonies included the presentation of rent "offerings of fealty" in kind, according to ancient custom. The Mayor presented to the Prince 100 shillings and one pound of pepper on a silver dish. To Sir Hugh Molesworth St. Aubyn fell the duty to offer a brace of greyhounds. According to ancient usage, they should be pure white, but the nearest obtainable approach was a well-matched piebald couple. Another ducal tenant tendered a pair of gilt spurs, and others presented a pound of cumin, a salmon spear, a faggot of wood, a pair of white gloves and a rose. Strangest of all these curious terms of tenure is one requiring the reprosentatives of the manor of Swannacol 5nrl Sf M'arv WfPk to nrpspnt thprr selves at the ducal court clad in mantles of goatskins The nrcQcnt. ' v . . day incumbent, Bethuel Hutching?, stoically endured this attire over his ordinary clothes on a broiling hot day. His appearance suggested a blend of a modern country tourist and Robinson Crusoe. The Prince, much amused at the variety of -gifts, solemnly "confirmed all the loyal tenants in their holdings." PICKFORD DIVORCE DECREE SUSTAINED MJXDEN, Nev., June 27 The state supreme court is to be asked to pass f on the divorce of Mary Pickford and Owen Moore, which was sustained in a decision by District Judge Frank C. ' Langan, Attorney General Leonard Fowler announced. He said he would appeal and file a list of exceptions to ' Judge Langan's decision preliminary -to that action. RENO, Nev., June 27. The effort of ."the state attorney general to have the ,' divorce decree of Mary Pickford from Owen Moore set aside failed at Min- ; den Saturday afternoon, when District Judge Langen granted a motion to quash the summons in the attorney general's proceedings. The court held that while it was ' true that the state was a party to all divorces, as contended by the attorney general, yet the state was represented by the trial judge and not by the ; "attorney general. As the decree had been accepted by both plaintiff and - defendant, tne judge decided, tne state ' . was estopped from proceedings to set - aside the decree. Many of the members of the bar - from-Nevada were present at the Mini den-court this afternoon, when the de- , cision was rendered.

Bridges on the Indiana state highway system are to be built as wide as possible, according to Lawrence Lyons, director of the state highway department. Engineers are being instructed tc design bridges of maximum width consistent with length of span. William J. Titus, chief bridge engineer, says structures should facilitate, not obstruct or slow down traffic. To this end, if a bridge span is less than ten feet wide then it is constructed the fill width of the highway, which is eighteen feet plus a five-foot shoulder on either side. In other word. this ! type of bridge has a clearance of twenty-eight feet. From an. economic point of view, it is not feasible or practicable to build a bridge this width if it has a larger i span or if there are several spans, and in case the span s from ten to twenty feet the clearance of the struci"re should be twenty-four feet. Aim to Keep Traffic Moving. In the East where Federal aid has brought about construction of many hard-surfaced roads and where travel r"n is at a rate of from 1,500 to vehicles an hour past a given , provision was made for two hns of traffic. Engineers estimate that for safety when traffic is moving in both directions at the rate of fifteen miles an hour the headroom between vehicles should be not less than twenty feet. The most extensively traveled highways in Indiana today fhow approximately 2,000 vehicles passing a given point each day, road officials say. The department at this time is chiefly concerned with road " a.uij Because all bridges are designed to last approximately three-quarters of a century, safely support the twenty-ton truck load of freight, and conditions on every hand indicate that hard-surface roads are to be the chief feeders to route products from the farm, factory and mill to the business marts pnd distributing rail and electric terminals, Indiana will build bridges of stability for future as well as present needs, Mr'. Lyons says. SEEK NEW RIFLE RANGE. FT. WAYNE, Ind., June 27.

RUSSIAN PEASANTS OPPOSE RED TROOPS; STARVATION IS NEAR
(By Associated Press) RIGA, June 27. Irregular fighting between Russian peasants and Red troops is continuing along the Volga river in the vicinity of Saratov, according to Daniel Isaac, a Seventh Day Adventist Missionary of Parker, S. D., who has arrived at Riga with his wife, formerly of Harrington, Kan., after a sojourn of many years in Russia. Mr Isaac said that the peasants, led by Antonoff, Makhno, Wakulin and other irregular leaders whom the Bolsheviki term "bandits," are constantly opposing the Red contingents in the Volga villages, although they are mostly armed only with pitchforks and scythes Little Food Left. "Fighting began in January, when the commissars seized sheep, cattle and grain, even to chicken food, leaving only 20 pounds of grain per man to support the people through the winter, said Mr. Isaac. A hundred or more villages in this district which is largely populated by German colonists, are threatened with starvation. The fighting however is only a question of 'whites' and 'reds' alternately driving each other in and out of the devastated villages. Mr. Isaac left the village of Warenburg on the Volga, where he had a church, early in May. At this time, he says, Antonoff had about 40,000 irregulars, whom the Bolshevikl could not catch because they were mounted on fast horses and able to harass the enemy and afterward retreat. These irregulars, he added, have been killing a number of Jews in the Volga territory. Prices are High. Mr. and Mrs. Isaac arrived at Moscow on May S, being permitted to leave Russia in company with Lettish refugees. They spent a week in Mocow, where he found that a number of stores had been opened particularly for the sale of foodstuffs including white bread, eggs and milk, all of which were available, although prices were high. Mr. Isaac brought the news that O. A. Reinke, of New York, pastor of the Adventist Church in the Volga territory, died of typhus, February 2S, leaving a widow and a ten-year old daughter, who are still living in the village of Hoosenbach near Saratov. They are unable to leave because they are Americans. "Conditions in Russia are worse in the country than in the cities," said Mr. Isaac, ' for there is a shortage of even bread and potatoes. However, the opponents of Bolshevism seem to have lost all power of reorganization and there does not seem to be any chance of a real rebellion in the near future." COMMUNITY SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO OPEN Final plans for the campaign to raise approximately $3,000 to establlish permanently the James M. Townsend branch of the Richmond community service will be made Monday night in the colored Masonic hall, South Sixth street. It ia the purpose of those interested to begin the canvass for funs about the last of this week. A paid secretary and a community center for colored people is the aim.

Ther were 2,090.132 more males than females in the United States in 192, making the ratio 104 to li'o, as com pared with 106 to every 100 females in the period of 1900-10, the censu bureau announced last night. A prepondence of males has been shown in every census., due primarily, the announcement said, to the considerable number of foreign-born residents, among whom the males greatly outnumber the opposite sex. Thirteen per cent of the country's total population in 1920 were foreign born. Where Females Abound. All states except Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York. Norh Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama had an excess of males overfemales. These seven states had ratios ranging from 96.3 to 100 for Massachusets to 99.9 for North Carolina. The District of Columbia had a far greater excess of females than any state, its ratio being only eighty-seven to 100 and Nevada had 148.9 males to every 100 females, the highest ratio of any state, the statement showed.
