W0MAN'S MIND is
BEYOND HIS SKILL
Lock Expert Meets Problem
That Defies All His
Experience.

James d. Davidson. Western expert for
the corbin and the Yale lock companies.
with headquarters at 724i2 Market street.
has found that the combination of wo-
mans mind def1es all of his skill and ex-
perience. For twenty years he has dwelt
as the husband of Annie NJ. Davidson anu
now they have come to the parting Of the
ways, Mrs. Davidson being the plaintiff
in a suit for divorce now on hearing be-
fore Judge Hunt, this being the second
she has filed in a period Of month. Her
first prayer OF divorce on the ground OF
cruelty was denied by Judge Hebbard,
but. nothing daunted. she has included a
few more charges of cruelty in a second
complaint and started anew.
Before Judge Hunt yesterday she ap-
piled for alimony pending the outcome Of
her suit. Davidson's counsel informed the
court that similar application made to
Judge Hebbard month ago was denied,
for II was proved that the wife was amply
provided with money and other property
TO care for herself: Furthermore" said
Davidson's counsel, "her complaint In this
suit is almost the same as the one in the
suit she lost, and Davidson should be
given the added advantage that goes with
his oss-complaint Mrs. Davidson has
once failed 10 prove her charges and we
feel sure we can prove ours.

out prejudice. Davidson. in his cross
complaint, says that one evening he re-
turned from his place OF business to his
home TO find that his wife had done his
clothes up in a neat bundle and deposited
them on the front steps. When he asked
her the meaning of IL all she said was
she wanted neither him nor his clothes
that he could take his clothes and go.
This he did and then she fled suit for
divorce. Once he has defeated her. he
says and can do II again. But he asks
that the court free him from the woman
that wants no more of him and permit
him to go his way, solving the riddles OF
time locks and combinations, his mind
free of the one problem he has found be-
yond him-the problem Of womans mind
