 and beat her in their room in house in Johnson Addition. During the hear
 ing yesterday. Tyson told the court

 methods of proving his love were
 rather unusual. Mrs. Tyson still bore
 bruises which she claimed were in fiicted by her husband while she strug- gled with him.
 A John Doe" felony complaint was sworn out before Judge Winters by C.. SomOrzich, driver for the Superior bakery. SOmorzich claims that while
 driving his machine between LSuglas and Bisbee Sunday night it was struck and damaged by another car. The driver of the other machine did not stop following the accident. and Som orzich hailed a passing auto stage and started in pursuit. After a short chase, SOmorzich says, he overlook the car he was after and asked the occupants if they would pay for the damage done his machine in the col lision. Their answer. he says. was to fire three shots al hinf and drive on again. The identity of the driver of the car was discovered by Lowell officers, who expect to locate him soon.
 The case of Harold Klatt. a minor, was turned over to the county proba- tion officers. The Joy is alleged tt have stolen an auto tire from John Supancich in Johnson Addition. As the lad is already under the care Of the probation officers, Judge Winters sent record of his last escapade to the superior court, asking that the county advise him what ro do with the lad.

Skirts Won't Keep
Men From Serving
Under Draft Law

WASHINGTON, May 22.-"Do not
hide behind petticoats or children TO
avoid service in the new national
army" is the injunction OF Provost
Marshal General Crowder in an offic-
ial guide he has issued to show how
questions put to those who register on
June should be answered. The guide
explains that there is no desire by the
government to draft any one who is
the sole support of any man, woman or
child but points out that unless the
person you have in mind is solely de.
pendent on you," exemption would not
be granted.
The registrar will drop permanently
from the list those which physical de-
fects such as the absence Of a leg or
an arm make unfitness for service
obvious, but all other claims for ex-
emption will be passed upon by the To-
cal boards. The applicant will be re-
quired to state specifically the charac-
ter of the work he is performing in
order that the board may judge II 1t
such as to warrant the government in
excusing him from army duty.
