Elderly Husband of Young Bride

BLISS FOR SIX WEEKS
Wealthy Herman T. Asche Declares
Wife's Novelette, Proves She
Married Him Only for His
Money-"Man of Mystery"

New York,-A novelette, confess
sion" entitled Justice" alleged to
have been written by nineteen-year-
old Mrs. Asia Asche, an esthetic
dancer, is the basis of a suit for annul-
ment Of marriage which has just been
filed here by her husband, Herman L.
Asche, wealthy importer, forty years
old. The couples marriage bliss last
ed just six weeks-the reward of nine
years patient waiting on Asche's part,
for he fell in love with Asia when she
was a child of nine years.
Now Asche charges that Asta's heart
never belonged to him, but burned in
loyal love for a young artist. 1t was
to the latter-so far the man of mys-
terry" in the strange case-that the
novelette, confession of the beautiful
young bride was penned. In it she
reveals, according to her husbands
affidavit, that her marriage to him was
merely a plot to get his money and
that she had been his wife only in
name, so that she might return to the
young artist as she had left him.
Marital Joys Soon Ended.
On the day of the proposed we'd
ding the husband-to-be went to the
home of Astas grandmother in Brook
Ign. The dancer had promised to be
there, but Asche says he found she had
run away. He learned from the grand
mother that Asia twas too nervous"
and not being able to stand the strain
of the wedding ceremony, had gone
to New Haven. The elderly lover mo-
tOred to New Haven, found Asia, but
was told she wanted a week to find
her mind" When she found her mind
she decided to become Mrs. Asche.

Dandrufy Heads
Become Hairless

II you want plenty Of thick, beautiful

It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash II out. The only sure
way to get rid Of dandrlIff il to dissolve
It, then you destroy II entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces OF ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when re-
firing; use enough to molsten the scalp
ond rub II in gently with tha finger tips.
BY morning. most, if not all. of your
dandrun will be zone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace OF 1t.
You will ind. too. that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop, and your
hair will look and feel a hundred times

ounces is all you will need, no matter

RAIL Way MAIL PAY
FIGHT IN CONGRESS
POstOftiCe Department Would
Compute Compensation on
Basis Of Space Occupied.

The old controversy between the Post
office Department and the railroads re.
garding railway mail pay ls being aired
before the House Committee on Posr-
office. which is now framing the post-
office appropriation bill.
The Postoffice Department wants 10
compute railway mail pay on the basis
Of the cubic feet OF space occupied nv
the mails the railroads want A con-
tinuation of the weight method with
the proviso that there shall be annua
instead of quAdrennial weighinRs.
Ralph Peters, president OF the Long
Island railroad and chairman of the
railroads committee on railway mail
pay, urged the committee yesterday az
ternoon to leave the question Of rates
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. He said the railroads must be
considered as a part of the national de-
Tense system and ought to be encour-
aged rather than crippled by legisla-
ton.
MIR. Peters declared the railroads
should receive an increase Of at least
10 per cent over the amount the Cow
eFnment - now paying for the trans
portation OF the mails.
4 large delegation, representative OF
practically the entire railroad interests
OF the country, appeared in opposition
TO the proposed legislation.
II was asserted upon behalf OF the
railroads that the Moon bill provides q
scale OF rates so low as to be virtually
connscatory in many cases.
