SPAR,TANBURG MAN
HAS BLOODY END
W. NJ. Melton Actor I'm Triple Tragedy,
Woman and Girl Too.

LOS Angeles, Jan. THE wife of
w. M. Melton, the attorney and realty
agent killed last night in the tragedy
which Wrought death also to Mrs.
Mary Graves Cox and her daughter,
Florence, was located here today. The
history of the mans life led officers
10 conclude that the double murder
and suicide were the outcome Of Mel
tons inability to meet his engagement
to marry Mrs. Cox.
Mrs. Melton visited the morgue to-
day and identified the body of her
husband Police officers said they
were told by her that Melton had lived
1T nome and was regarded by her and
nor neighbors as a model husband. His
frequent absence from home, she said,
she believed was due to business.
The police theory is that Mrs. Cox
learned only yesterday OF the ex-
1stence Of Mrs. Melton and that in
paroXysm OF anger she shot Melton
and her daughter and then killed her
self.
Lodgers in the house where the
tragedy occurred said that when last
seen together Melton and Mrs. Cox
had appeared to be on the best Of
terms and there was nothing to indi-
cate a quarrel.
Melton received four wounds, any
one Of which would have proved
fatal, while Mrs. Cox was shot but
once. Around the wound in her head
we're powder marks, indicating that
the revolver had been very close.
There was found a photograph Of her

FFoTTNnAN WhNS MOVIE
 RIGHTS TO FITCH PLAY
Ruling by Appellate Division Expected to Affect Many Original Pro
 ductions

New York, Nov 9-The first decis- ion by a higher court as to the owner ship of the moving picture rights of 2 play by the owner of the original pro- ducing rights was handed down yes teuday by the Appellate Division, which ruled that although moving pic-s ture rights may not be mentioned in the original contracts for producing a, play the contract carries with t such rights.
 The case. before the court involved the late Clyde F'itch's Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines for which Chas. Fsrofnaan got the exclusive rights for this country and Canada in 1901s before the advent of the movies. William G. Fitch, the father of the pIaywrigflt.. who died a few days ago, was the administrator of his sons estate and sole Iegatee ,and in March last sold the motion picture rights for the play to the American Play company MT Frohman then sued for an injunction restraining the production of the play m the movies by any one but himself. The Appellate Division decision says:
 Even though it may be conceded that neither of the parties had in mind the production of the play in that manner nevertheless I think it is a clear violation of the contract to permit the play to be so produced. That by the aid of science it has. since the contract was executed, been made possible to produce the play in some manner not then contemplated does not give William G. Fitch nor the American Play Company the right to plaintiffs property or diminish the valeu of what he purchased.' .''
 The decision affects many other we'll known plays produced years ago, un- der contracts which did not include the film rights.

MIsMATED

Love is not love
 which alters when it alteration finds. Love alters not, with brief hours and
 weeks,
 But bears it out even to the edge Of
 doom.
 If this be error, and upon me proved, I never writ nor no man ever loved.
 The result of most haphazard mar riages, joining of hands at the altar on too short acquaintance. usually ends in the after discovery that the pair are unquestionably nnisnated. Each has agreed to take the other for life without as much care as they would have bestowed upon the choos- ing of a. new suit of clothes or bon net.
 What else could be expected than to discover faults that lead to domestic unhappiness threatening future peace? What shall these couples do when they learn they have not one thought. ambition or hope in common?
 In their fortnight's cotrtship he did not find out that while he loved chill dren he was wholly indifferent to them; that while his ambition was to save money to be at the head of his own business, her pleasure and motto was to enjoy life as she went along that she only trave1ed this way once and it was her right to have good times even if it cost money.
 He wanted a home of their own be it ever so humble She had quite a, different notion She planned that they should board with her folks. The money would support the entire fam fly. They would have to be content with the small hall bedroom in the rear.
 She gathered around her friends whom he did not find congenial. For that reason she went down in the par Tor to entertain her guests in the eve hing while he remained up in the cheerIess bedroom
 Such a couple cannot help being dis satisfied with the mess they have made of marriage. If they fling sar- castle remarks at each other, and go- ing from bad to worse, indulge in bit- ter quarrels, existence together is 9 burden and a regret.
 It is inconsistent to place the blame wholly upon one when the burden of reproof should be divided between the two. Too many persons imagine that they love at first sight when they are I only infatuated with each other. This sentiment is no more like love than candle1ght is like sunlight. Soon in- fatuation coois and dies out True love lasts as long as the heart beats. It takes courtshfp to bring out the worth. or want Of it, for both. receive hundreds of letters from both men and women asking if being mismated is not a sufficient reason to break the marriage tie. It is too late to study that viewpoint after wedIocA l from the fact that each has promised at the altar to take each other for better. or for worse. If children have come into their lives, the worry over being mismated should be put out of their thoughts Children were evil dence that they were to mate. For their sakes. both husbands and wives should do their utmost to fall in love with each other anew. because of the unbreakabIe bond which mites them I Those two parents are to those chi1- .dren what no one else could be. Peo- pie who imagine that they are mis- mated should sit down and think it over. Love begets love. While there l life there's hope of winning it.

Worse Than No Beau

 went with a young man of my own age for about ten months. Dur ing that time he hinted to me that he was getting tired of steady company, and at the last hint I gave steady company; up. I tried to forget him. but couldn't, and since that time he has been coming down twice 9 1week. He tells me he loves me more than any other girl he has seen or been out with but does not love me with all his heart-in other words, not enough to give up other girls and dances, etc, for me. He says Ee is coming because he knows that in time. he is going to love me like he should. He wants to have me continue letting him come to see me twice a week, but had ought to let hiIn2 He has not been out with any other girls since I gave up steady company Am vast ing my time on him? He says he don't know what there is about. me that he can't love me with all his heart He names various things about me that he likes and he really don't know what there is about me he don't like. I am thinking of letting him go and not paying any more attention to him Please advise at once
 DOROTHY. 5 do not think very much of a. man, whos deliberately, plays fast and loose with a young girls honest heart Dis miss him for few months. By that time he will be more certain as to whether he cares for you or not,
 In the meantime, encourage other sl1itors. More than likely you will find a young man who will be in earnest in his 1oveHaking. and you will never regret exchanging a. hckle suitor for one honest and true.
