New Twist to the Mother-in-Law Joke

I OUISVILLE, KY.-The mother-in-
Il law joke is so old that the ancient
Egyptians used 10 chisel it on the
walls of the pyramids as a record of
the humor of their remote ancestors.
But leave it TO Americans OF the Twen-
tieth century 10 give a new twist to
any joke, Kentuckians are the fell
lows this time; people and manners
are queer down here since the dry
season set In for keeps.
Well. anyway. getting down TO the
facts, Walter Thornton, 80, Paducah
cooper, married his mother-in-law
Thanksgiving day. The honeymoon
lasted until the other day. when they
were arrested on the charge of violat-
ing the Kentucky statute which says.
among other things, that a man shall
not marry the mother OF his wife. A
$500 to $1,000 fine attaches, and IL
such marriage is not terminated pen
itentiary sentence is the alternative.
Thornton married May Hale five
years ago. Recently he obtained 4

many times clash ensued 10 decide

lands of milk and honey.
Among the most narrowing of the In
vasions was that of the Mongols in
the fourteenth century. They came
across the yolga under Batu. grandson
Of that Mongol Charlemagne. JenghiE
Kahn, and though there is no complete
story Of their depredations in Bes-
sarabia, that region probably suffered
atrocities similar to others which are
recorded in narrowing detail. At
Ryazan women and children were used
as targets in bow-and-arrow contests |;
slivers OF wood were driven under the
nails of the men; then they were cor
rallied in churches TO watch their wom-
en- being tortured, and finally roasted
alive. Another city, Kozelsk,. was re-
named Mobalig, City of Vice." and
kiev was laid waste after her people
had been MANNED and murdered.
A picture of peaceful, pastoral Bes-
sarabia prior to the renewed ravages
Of the World war, furnishes a pleasing
contrast. A delight to the few tour
lists who went through the region, were
the Moldavian homes.
A Moldavian interior was immaculate
and vivid. Brightly-colored curtains
and hangings were used. An inevitable
decoration were rows of yellow
gourds, the raising of which is one Of
the minor Bessarabian industries. The
people are deeply religious. Each ortho-
odox home had its altar, facing east
ward. sacred bread beneath the icon,
and cOrnstalks placed in the shade Of
cross before 1t. Even the affairs
were colorful because of their draper
les and candles, and many times they
were laden with flowers. The Bes-
sarabian women are sprightly, bright
eyed. and pretty.
Moldavians constituted about half
the inhabitants of Bessarabia. ROu-
mania, it will be recalled, was formed
by the union of Moldavia and Wal
lachia; hence the adjoining Bes-
sarabia, with its large Moldavian pop
ulation, long has been the "Irredenta"
of Roumania.

purse. The trio then dashed into

The four women screamed. Their

departing from the Drew home. J. O.
Cox, treasurer of the William Wrigley

Miss Barbara With the four women
and the two policemen he took up the

driven by guests at the Drew musicale,
participated in the man hunt.
Mr.. Cox having several minutes
start, succeeded in keeping the fugi-
tives in view With his machine at
their heels, the trio raced for the
cemetery.
The Wrigley official vaulted the
cemetery fence ahead of the police
men. The latter fired a couple of
shots in the air and the thieves came
to stop. Mr. Cox collared all three.
The return of the thieves to the
Evanston police station was a real
