The wearing of fraternity pin is
not sufficient proof of engagement
to marry, girls. to get the owner of
the pin exempted from military ser
1 vice. This has been decided by a
4 draft board. The claim of a former
university student, married after the
/ draft law was passed. sets forth as
evidence the claim that the couple
/ were engaged before the passage of
the law, and gives as proof, supported
1 by the evidence of the girls sorority
! sisters. that she wore the mans frater-
! nifty pin 'in a concealed place" The
board ruled that the mans loan of
| the fraternity pin to the girl to wear
! ''in a concealed place" did not con-
stitute a contract to marry.

THERE'S \ WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
~
keeping the man she has in hand,
with a young out of town girl who
wants him. 1t is this way: The wo-
r71an of our town is the mother of the
young man. He has been a model
son to her, being companion, escort
and support. and showing her all
filial devotion. Then comes the girl
who is the heiress to the estates of a
wealthy. unattached uncle, whom she
il nursing during a grave illness that
is pronounced by the doctor to be
fatal. The girl wants the man, and
/ the man wants the girl, but the moth
/ er has made up her mind that nc
! woman can take her son away from
, her. She has nagged him about the
case, they say. until he has left his
home and gone downtown to live a
n hotel. The girl is young and pretty
. and sure to be rich. The man is il
love. 1t looks as tho the cards were
. kstacked. but the mothers will may be
strong enough to defy the fates. We
shall see.
