new YORK JUDGE
VoIDS TWO MARRIAGES
In ONE FELL SW0OP

New York, Feb. 1.-Two marriages
were. rendered void to-day by decision
of Supreme Court Justice Newburser.
He declared that Mrs. Elizabeth stv-
ers Sterry was never legally the wife OF
James W. Sterry. millionaire member OF
The Weaver & Sterry drug firm. because
she was never lawfully divorced from
Albert ]. Rennie. of Elgin. Ill lndi-
rectly this will invalidate Rennies Sec
ond marriage.
Mrs. Sterry sued Sterry for separa-
ton, alleging that he had treated her
cruelty and abandoned her. She testifed
that he was very fond Of drink and had
amused himself at different times oy
squirting seltzer water over walters after
he had his fill. She said he flew into
tantrums'' and abused her.
Sterry did not deny the charges on
which she asked a separation. but he at
tackled the validity of her divorce de-
cree of Rennie. He contended that the
divorce was invalid because neither Mrs.
Sterry nor Rennie had lived in Illinois
the time prescribed by the divorce
statute.
Mrs. Sterry testified that she knew
othing about the divorce Rennie obtain
ed until about two years after the decree
was rendered. Then she was told of it
by friends.

the developments Of electric automobiles
yesterday, said:
'The electric pleasure vehicle manu-
facturer has built a car to care for the
woman's wants and transportation needs.
He has given every item consideration,
SO now the electric brougham is the most
nearly. perfect type Of conveyance In ex-
istence. When we look back over the
period of transportation conveyances,
even back to the sedan chair. We realize
that he woman in each period had been
responsible for the improvement In the
building OF convewyances. This woman
influence is so paramount. even though
the manufacturer does not cater to the
woman alone, to make 1t necessary to
give her suggestions and criticisms con-
sideration. The beauty of the coupe body
is not so much in its trimmings as 1t Is
In its balance and contour. The electric
car to be popular to-day must first OF all
have the correct design and then bal
ance OF parts"

the striking features of the Driftwood
is its magnificent location. From the
wide piazzas one may look far out
over the ocean, with it's ever-chang-
ing colors, or, in the other direction.
toward the fir groves and woods of the
island. The Driftwood provides a Ia
