INCREASED ALIMONY ADDS
TO HIGH COST OF LIVING

ATLANTA, Ca, March 15.-Score an
other triumph for the old n. c. of l.,
the voracious monster that is devour-
ing the country and threatening to de-
YOUR the world
Aiimony in Atlanta has gone up, and
high cost of living is. as the judges
frankly state, responsible for it,
There was a time when SIS per
month was considered a fairly reason

had a large number of children and
her husband had large fat salary.
but now the figure has been raised
to $40 per month on account of the
soaring prices of all necessities.
In the divorce court yesterday
wife about to be awarded alimony pc
titioned the judge, through her attorn-
ey for $50 per month. The husbands
attorney entered strenuous kick,
claiming THAT the well established
figures o $25 was enough. But the
wifes attorney called the judges at
tehtion to the fact that everything
has gone up, even to the price OF
newspapers on the streets, and he
made such a convincing argument
that the judge allowed the wife $40

V|RGINI|IAAHN IS DEAD
FROM THE SHOOTING

ROANOKE. Va. March l5.-Stock-
ton Heth, Jr., who was fatally soht
Tuesday in the Blacksburg home of
Prof. Charles V. Vawtry, an instructor
in the Virginia Polytechnic Institute,
died in a local hospital early this
morning.
Heth, on his death bed, accused
Prof. Vawtry of being his assailant,
according to a statement issued by
his relatives this afternoon, but the
circumstances of the assault continue
mysterious. Neither Prof. Vawtry or
Mrs. Vawtry have consented to DIS
cuss the occurrence with officials or
reporters, although the former was
formally arrested two days ago on a
warrant charging assault, and was at
ligerty under bond when young Meth
died. The charge against Prof. Vaw~
try will now be changed to murder,
and it is said the preliminary hearing
may develop some startling evidence.
