Madeline Bixby, head of the Health Department laboratories here for the past two and a half years, has ten- dered her resignation to the health commissioners, taking effect March IS. Miss Bixby res.gns her position to enter commercial pursuits.

 All of the equipment was chosen by Miss Bixby and from a point where the laboratory was used by but few of the city physicians it is now patronized by 90 per cent Of them and furnishes to them many of the tests necessary in the treatment and diagnosis of disease.
 Miss Bixby during her term in of flee here has made @ careful sur vey and kept accurate check on the water supply, established and main tained a bacterioIogical examination on the xniIk supply and done other important special work, including a study o$ the conditions of the neigh boring bAthing beaches.

ARE REASON GIVEN
 FOR DIVORCE

Too much mother-in-law was the complaint of Irving B. Wells. who conducts a tire vu1canizing business in this city. when he appeared this morning in the superior court to ask for a divorce from Katherine Wells of this city. Wells said his wife's mother was opposed to his marriage with her daughter. His sister-in-law also objected and Wells claims she in- duced Mrs. Wells to leave home and return to her mothers two weeks after their marriage.
 Wells testified that he went to his mother-in-Iaw's home, talked there with his wife and tried to induce her to return to him. Her mother threat ened to disown her if she did so Mrs. Wells decided not to go, the husband testified. Wells was living in Lord ship Manor at the time. His wife went to work in a local departm ent store and now she does not speak to Wells when they meet on the street, the husband told the court. Judge Keeler granted Wells a divorce on the ground of desertion in August, 1916. The couple were married July 15 of the same year.

ORGANIZATIONS OF EX-SERvIcE MENAR
 MUCH Al VARIANCE
Charge is Made That Halper Member of Legislative Committee of Rank and File Veterans Association Was Socialist and Communists.

Washington, Mar. 5-Differ- ences between organizations of former service men were aired again today before the House Ways and Means Committee which is considering soldier re- lief legislation. Marvin Gates Sperry, National President of the Private Soldiers and Sail ors Legion, appeared to urge flat payment of $500 to all for mer service men and women.
 He charged that J. H. Halper, d. member of the legislative committee of the Rank and File Veterans As sociation was socialist and com munist and had tried to turn over the Private Soldiers and Sailors Le- zion to the communist party of New York;
 Letters from the Soldiers, Sailors and Marine Protective Association, of New York city, asked the amalgama- ton of all soldier bodies, was read by the witness, who said this organ ization was raided and it's literature dumped into the streets.
 What proof have you that Halper is socialist ?'' asked Chairman Ford. ney.
 He admitted it to me before wit Jesses," Sperry replied.
 Only three signers are needed to ob- tain incorporation papers, permitting the formation of a soldier organiza- ton with the privilege of soliciting contributions in every state, Sperry said in answer to a question by Rep- resentative Treadway, Republican, Massachusetts, as to how Sperry's or- sanitation had been incorporated.
 That's a curious provision,'' Rep resentative Treadway said
