Shooting Done by Richard Martin
Who Mistook Preston for

Eugene Preston, living on farm

WANT WORD )|I 2. ."oBEY"
!. :. !. =, & CUT FROM ON CEREMONY

St. Louis, Mo-, Oct 17.-Elimina-
tion of the word "obey" in the prom
ise of women in the marriage service
was recommended in a minority re-
port Of the joint commission on COM
mon prayer submitted to the house of
deputies of the Protestant Episcopal
general convention here late yester-
day.
The majority report recommended
that the present injunction beginning
"wilt thou obey him and serve him, "
be changed to "wilt thou love him,
comfort him, honor and obey him, in
sickness and in health; and, forsaking
all other, keep thee only unto him so
long as he shall live.' ..
The minority report suggested also
the omission of the words, "and with
all my worldly good I thee endow," "
in the service. - An argument ad-
vanced was the expression ''endow''
is relic of old English law, under
which the dover rights of women
were guaranteed, and that today the
question involved is civil one to be
taken for granted. It also was pro-
posed to expunge the expression ,"as
Isaac and Rebecca lived faithfully to-
gether,"' etc, and merely say living
faithfully together" =

Use Of Artificial Gas.

That the use of artificial gas as a
domestic and industrial fuel Is In
creasing and that Its utilization for
Illuminating purposes Is decreasing is
Indicated by a report recently issued
by the department Of the interior,
which covers the use Of the product
In 1915.
1t is pointed out that 286, 2O4, 24s 600
cubic feet Of gas was sold during 1915,
and that the vnlue Of this production
amounted to $173, s32. 1872, according to
statistics collected by @. e. Lesher Of
the United States geological survey,
and 1913, 1O3, $4,000 cubic feet Of coal
gas was consumed during the same
period, valued ut $4S,SS2,OO7.

Of the gas was used for illuminating,
