Marriage License Defective.
From the Sterling Gazette
One OF the ministers in Sterling who
does not like TO unite divorced parties
says that the marriage licenses of Illinois
as made out at present are defective
inasmuch as they do not state whether
the parties to the marriage have been
divorced or not
He says that this should be stated on
the permit given TO the parties securing
II at the county clerks Office. He ssys
that this is not the fault of the county
clerks. but rather Of the law. which does
not have this printed on the application
and the license
lie says that in the past he has married
couples whom he would not have mar
rfed II he had known one Of them had
been divorced. He says that a great
many strangers come to that city, pro-
cure their licenses to go to the different
ministers OF the town to be married.
He looks over the license, and. as there
Is nothing TO show whether they are

uhcate after marriage. he finds out by
asking If either OF them has been d.
vorced.
He cannot ask them the questions very
well before the ceremony. for II would
make a great many OF the couples angry.
and he has no other way but to wait and
find it out In making out his blank
form. He says that he has thus I'M

Car owners have not required the
advice recently sent out by the Stand
ard OIL Company in the matter OF prtm-
ing devices. to call their attention to
the fact that with the coming OF winter,
the annual troubles in starting with cold
cylinders is to be expected.
This year the difficulty will be in
creased, owing to the fact that the sup
ply of high-test gasoline will be more
limited than ever.
A happy solution for troubles OF this
nature Is to be found in the Champion
printing plug, which has just been put
on the market by the Champion Spark
Plug Company of Toledo, Ohio.
The Champion printing plug has an
opening in the side which leads to a
separate channel for gasoline reaching
down to the base OF the spark plug.
This channel is entered by means OF
a needle valve having hollow top, and
which can be quickly opened when the
cylinders are closed, without even re-
moving the gloves.
The small amount of gasoline neces-
sary for printing is injected and the valve
again closed. The gasoline, flowing down
its own separate channel, vaporizes prac-
tically at the firing points, insuring the
starting OF the car with quarter turn
of the crank.
The Champion printing plug will doubt
less instantly find favor with car own
ers whose automobiles are not equipped
with printing cups and It is believed that
they will also be found OF great advan-
tage to cars having such appliances, ow-
ing to the fact that printing cups must
be situated farther away
from the firing points than is desirable
for the best service in this respect.
A notable feature of the Champion
printing plug is the fact that even should
the car start while, through oversight.
the needle valve is open, 1t will not en-
danger the porcelain from the resultant
hot blast
As the gasoline is separated from the
porcelain and electrodes by solid shell
Of steel, there is no danger of Shooting
up or fouling the porcelain.
Now that motoring has become one
of the winter pleasures, few owners
are storing their cars away for the cold
months" says David s. Hendrick,
Franklin dealer here. For those con-
tempIating the continued use of their
cars, it is well worth their while to
spend a few hours in preparation for
winter driving. There are two main
reasons for adequate preparation. First.
road conditions are not ideal in winter
and the shaking the car receives may
loosen I'D and break parts which have
not received proper attention during the
summer. For the owners personal
safety, he should see that brake adjust
ments are correct.

tual practice at fifteen yards distance.
BY means OF a patent shutter arrange
ment, targets can be exposed for any
number of seconds desired, and they can
be changed in two seconds.

1t is risky to feed raw milk and

Rochester DenOCat.
Several scientists from the British
Museum are planning for an expedition
to Easter Island, the most easterly OF
the Polynesian group, and about 1000
miles from the South American coast.
The island is described as a very small
spot on the map, lonely in its surround
ings. and having a total area of only
forty-five miles. But it is believed by
these men of science that this little iso-
lated spot of earth, just showing its head
in the great ocean, is all that is left of
a once populated continent, which was
overwhelmed by the sea following a great
seismic disturbance.
What makes the island especially in
teresting and gives rise to the specula-
tons of the scientists who are to visit
1t is the presence of over 500 images
carved from lava and stone, which evil
IDENTIFY at one time stood upon pedestals
and were regarded as works Of art. One
Of these is reported as sixty-eight feet
in length.
AS there is no metal on the island.
and the only tool found was a prehis-
toric chisel, and as the present water
supply would not furnish support for
men enough to drag the figures from
the quarries, the theory is advanced
that there must, at some period in the
remote past have been another continent
there in the southern seas, which was
suddenly overwhelmed. This latter SUD-
position is borne out by the fact that
most OF the figures are unfinished.
Investigations of this kind have their
value in stimulating men to unravel the
mysteries OF the past and bring to light
whatever lessons they may have for US.
We are never too old to learn, although
most Of us would probably prefer to
stick to the continents we have, with
all their trials and fluctuations, rather
than go delving after unknown CONT
nents which undoubtedly had troubles of
their own.

TO CENSOR FILMS.
London Authorities Plan to Guard
Public Morals.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald
London, Nov. 9O.-The paternal au-
thorities who guard our moral welfare
always seem to think that it takes con-
siderably less to ruin the morals and
virtuousness Of the English people than
st does to endanger the morals Of our
continental brethren and are continually
devising new safeguards against the
danger of temptation.
Now We are to have a censor of Gin
photographic films. The proper man has
already been found and has announced
that in the future we are not to see re-
lisious scenes, mixed bathing, and films
which place Judges and policemen in a
ridiculous light No reasons are given,
but it is considered that the latter are
already ridiculous enough as It is.

Austrian Countess Camilla Hoyos and
Charles wilkins, Short, jr., Of ctncin-
natl and Boston
The number Of invitations that IL
keeping the young people going on an
almost constant round of the most ia
shionable homes would indicate that the
reversal of the customary marriage
that OF the European nobleman to the

manners and manly mind. Peers hob mob
with the young American as genialy as
n his fathers has been with Richard
Occur de Lion IN thu Crusades, instead
Of helping to make Cincinnati famous.
The Countess Camilla, on the other
hand. has a title that goes back through
the Austrian centuries to the glorious
days of SPANS supremacy, but she has
also an untitled English mother. who
was Miss Alice Whitehead, granddaugh-
ter OF Sir Robert Whitehead, who in
vented the Whitehead torpedo. Her
mothers sister-in-law, Lady Beetham
Whitehead. holds position Of distinc-
ton in London society and has lent her
social influence to the task of making
the bridal residence in London Of her
niece a memorable honeymoon.
To Live in America.
It is expected that Mr.. Short and his
bride will sail in a few weeks for
America, where he intends TO resume his
business. Countess Camilla has visited
America several times and is popular at
Newport She was the guest of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Choate at their summer
home in the Adriondacks on two occa-
sions.
Society is still talking of the brilliant
wedding which took place in Holy Trinity
Church on November 19. The bridesmaids.
who were all dressed in white, were
Countess Bismarck. Baroness Gabrielle
Plessen, Miss Cecily Whitehead, daughter
of Sir Beetham Whitehead, Miss Aileen
Whitehead, Miss Joy Markham, daughter
of Admiral Sir Albert Markham, and
Miss Mary Wakeman.
The bridegroom's brother, John Glefes
Short, acted as best man, and the bride
was given away by her mother, Coun-
tess Edwar Hoyos. of Fiume, Austria.
