of the fact that men are pouring into

is no congestion of the local labor mar
ket according to a statement made yes
teray by Frank Brown, manager of the
L. S. employment bureau.
According to the figures available.
there is a small surplus of labor in GER

clans With the exception of cotton
pickers. there is an oversupply of ranch
workers. In the building trades. how
ever the supply is far below the de
mand. Machinists are also being sought
in all parts of the state, and dozens are

an even higher average will be regis

As was expected. Henry Walthall has
married again. Divorced from Isabelle
Fenton few days ago. Walthall lost
little time in travelling to Crown Point,
Indiana, and marrying Mary Charles
ton, his leading woman.
But here's the legal puzzle!
The Illinois law says that one shah
not marry within a year after one has
been given q divorce. MIR. Walthal
has about fifty-one weeks yet to go.
Judge II. H. Loring of Valparaiso In
diana, in a decision handed down a
fortnight ago, held that Indiana mus.
recognize the Illinois law.
Now. the case of Mr.. Waltnall?" the
judge was asked over the phone.
He cannot be married legally in In
diana" he replied. My decision has
precedent. The Illinois supreme court
has made such decision. as also have
the courts of Wisconsin,
Suppose Mr.. Walthall and his-er-
bride, go to Los Angeles, where they
have been starring in films, and live;
then will they be legally married." he
was asked.
IF they are not legally married in
Indiana, the Indiana ceremony would
not be legal in California. The law fol-
lows them" said Judge Loring 1T is
| incorporated in the Indiana statutes
that Indiana must not make void the
work of any law in another state
| There is no getting around it."
