BELLE Of Sd AVE.
LOSES HER SUIT
Referee Favors Joel w. Thorne,
Wealthy Banker, After Hear
ing Of Dear Sailor Boy"
WORKED WAY AT BARNARD

New York. July 20.--An absolute di-
vorce for Joel Wolfe Thorne. millionaire
banker and scion OF an old New York
family. was recommended yesterday in
a report filed in the Supreme Court by
David r. DAILY. referee appointed to
consider the evidence in the suit for
separation brought against him BY Mary
Casey Thornc. Barnard graduate, for
mcrly known as The Belle of Third
Avenue" whose marriage to Thorne in
1911 caused comment In society circles.
Not only did Referee DAILY disallow
Mrs Thorne's request for a legal sep
aration, but reported that her suit
should be dismissed and the custody of
Joel Thornc. Jr.. the couples six and =
n-half-year old child, be awarded to
Mr.. Thorne.
Raymond p. Wilson. a former sailor,
alleged by the referee to have acted
improperly with Mrs. Thorne, was
placed in Mrs. Thorne's home, said
Mr. Dyer, counsel for Mrs. Thorne In
defending the case, because counsel for
Mrs. Thorne feared that attempts might
be made to raid her apartment in search
of articles in her possession. He fur
ther declared that the testimony of the
servants was undeniably false and a
mass of contradictions.
The couple were married secretly at
the Hotel Plaza on November 1, 1911.
They separated in 1917. after living
together at East Seventy sixth street.
Mrs. Thorne continued to live with her
son at the Seventy sixth street address
and later she moved to the Hotel des

COMMENT OVER
west VIRGINIA
THE ROAD HOG.

(From The clarksbura gxponent.)
This description Of the road hog
is taken from a weekly paper print
ed way down South"
1.-THE road hog may be found in
every community driving buggies
and automobiles. He Is selfish
specimen who looks out for himself
alone, but does not realize the fact
that he is the one who is likely to
suffer. This hog tries to take all
the road, never turning out to let
anyone pass taking the position that
he owns the road. Such people live
the same lives at their homes, so
when you meet one, just sympathize
with those whom he lives, and,
while thus thinking, in the event
you are driving a good strong truck,
make him take the ditch, just to let
him know how it feels
The description fits. The road
hog wants all the road, just because
he is a hog Selfshness is his pre-
dominating trait. He cares nothing
about other people, but thinks a
great deal OF himself. His bump OF
self-esteem is highly developed. He
has an idea that he is better than
others. This characteristic is often
manifested by him. The road hog
is a hog all the time and every
where, in his home, just as the little
Southern paper intimates, ard away
from it. He is CLOSELY related to
the four-legged specimen of the por-
cine family and lust about IS con
genial a companion to be compelled
to live with.

"YANkEg oooDLE's' HISTORY.

There are several origins claimed
for Yankee Doodle" says the Van
couver World. In England under
Charles it was played under the
title Of "Nankee Doodle" Kossuth,
in America, recognized it as an old
Hungarian air, and it has been as
serted that an Old sword dance of
the Biscayars had the same music.
The Americans adopted it because
it was to this tune that the British
evacuated Boston after the battle Of
