PROTECT WIFE HIS FIRST DUTY
Woman Roughly Used by Her Hus-
bond's Father Gets Divorce.

Elkhart. Ind, oct. 14-Judge Van
Fleet of the superior court has grant
ed divorce on unusual grounds
holding that 1t is cruel treatment for
n husband to stand passively by while
the wife is roughly handled by his
father
The court implied that it was the
husbands first duty to protect his
wife. and failure to perform that du-
~ constituted cruelty.
The case was that of Hazel Fern
Graham VS.. Donald Graham. The wife
had instituted damage proceedings
against her husbands parents, Mr..
and Mrs. X. II. A, Graham, alleging
alienation of her husbands affections,
but this was compromised and dis
missed before the divorce proceed
ings were filed.

Lewis e. Co.. that the Commissioners
amend the regulations governing the dis

real estate sign. In his letter to the
Commissioners Mr.. Lewis states that a
member Of his firm was threatened with
arrest recently for attempting TO attach
an oilcloth sign to a building.
Commissioner West. to whom the mat
ter was referred. has moved that the

regulations as requested. but that the po-
lice have been notified that a permit to
