BLIND IN ETERNAL TRIANGLE
Husband, Wife and Alleged Affinity, Siehtless AIl-Men in Battle
 Royal.

Atlanta, Ga-That love is blind has just been proved in police court here when a blind man, his blind wife, and her alleged affinity, blind also, were arraigned for trial following a battle royal between the two men, after the husband had come home unexpectedly.
 Martin Strone, the husband, told the recorder that while peddling religious tracts in the streets friend had Warn- ed him that a rival was paying court to his wife and that he had better go home.
 On his arrival there he said he found Sam Stewart enjoying a chat with the wife. Then the fight started. Most of the furniture in the room was wrecked, but the combatants suffered less in- jury, due to their inability to get at each other properly.
 "One day in dark cell in the po- lice station for Stewart" said the judge.

MEXICAN OIL TRADE DOUBLES
Shipments for Year 1920 Expected 10 Exceed 25,ooo,ooo
 Barrels.

Mexico City-Figures showing that oil shipments from Mexico doubled since the first of last year have been published by the department of indus try and commerce, which records Oc- tober shipments of 17,301 900 barrels, as against 1S,061. .2S9 barrels in Jan- nary.
 These figures are striking in view of the fact that in 1901 Mexico shipped out 10,345 barrels and in 1910, 3,634,- 000 barrels.
 Shipments In 1919 totaled S7,072,954 barrels and there is reason to believe that this years shipments will amount to more than 125,0o0,000 barrels.
 Announcement was made recently that United States petroleum compa- nies have just paid the Mexican gov ernment more than S,O00,000 pesos in taxes.
 It is estimated that the petroleum industry in Mexico represents value of $700,000000 gold.

HAVE UNIQUE RECORD
Iowa Pioneers Live 75 Years in
 Same Spot.
Couple Married Three Quarters of a Century Bought Their Farm for
 $160 in 1845.

Mount Zion, Ia.-Seventy-five years ago Daniel Reneker brought Mary, his bride of a few days, to Iowa from Ohio. Today they still are living on the original homestead they estab- lished in the wild West" in 1S45. Reneker will be ninety years of age February 24, and his wife is ninety seven. Their marriage record and the number of years spent on the same homestead probably can be equaled by few couples.
 The couple attribute their long years of life to the fact that they are God fearing and believe in simple life and simple joys.
 Mir. and Mrs. Reneker's married life of 75 years, in the eyes of modern-day folks, contains few thrills. It has been mostly hard work.
 Reneker, when young man, left his home in Ohio to go West to see the country. He returned in a short time to get his Mary. Their honeymoon was spent floating down the ORio river to the Mississippi on small boat. On landing at the Mississippi the couple headed north for the cabin Reneker had previously erected in the forest wilderness of Iowa, near the present site of Mount Zion. There they went and there they are today.
 The early years were spent in clear ing the 160 acres of timber Reneker had purchased at $1 an acre. Supplies were brought from trading post 45 miles away. Ground on their tract was broken with the aid of oxen.
 Five children were born to the Rene kers. Four of them still survive. All are boys. The eldest is Jacob, aged Seventy-two, and the youngest is pr. George W. Reneker, aged ffty-two. The other two "boys" are Joshua and Dallas Reneker, With the exception of Dr. George, all the sons remained near the old homestead. Dr. George Reneker left home at the age of twelve. Today he is a resident of Falls City, Neb., and is the state rep resentative from the First Nebraska district.
 The present home of the Renekers was built in 1861 near the site of the original log cabin.
 The couple have taken few trips away from their home. They have made several trips to Falls City, Neb. to visit their boy" Dr. George and once went back to visit childhood scenes in Ohio.

PARIS HOUSE CRISIS
Shortage of Homes Having Cu- rious Effect on Divorce.
No Place to Go for Couples Separated, So They Just Kiss and Make Up
 Mot Flat, Few HoveIs.

Paris.-The great difficulty of find ing lodgings in Paris has been the cause of many unusual incidents re- gently.
 Divorced persons seeking separate apartments are having such difficulty in finding them that in one case at least they composed their tempera- their old apartment.
 A painter and his wife who had been divorced by mutual agreement were both looking for apartments. Frequently their paths crossed in their search for quarters. The first time they met they bowed gravely but pc litely. Their mutual smile gradually broadened as the hunt for flats mar rowed down to a few novels in the stun section.
 Lets kiss and make up and go back to our fat the wife finally said and they did,
 President Milerand, who recently took possession of the Elysee palace received II applications for his apart ment in the Avenue de Villars.
 Henry Landru, who has been in La Sante prison for the last 20 months awaiting trial on charges growing out of the disappearance of II women, re- gently was dispossessed from the flat that he had occupied on the Boulevard Roehechouart, a rather sordid section of Paris. Requests came from every quarter in Paris, some even from aris- toeratic A4teuil, asking that the flat be reserved.
 A vagrant just finishing 30 days in La Sante prison told his cellmate un- der sentence of five years for swin- ding that he dreaded to return into cold, dreary Paris. He was homeless; prospects of spending the winter nights under Paris bridges did not ap- peal to him. The prisoners exchanged clothing and cards of identity, and when the warden called for the va grant to send him out into the cold world the swindler responded. The fraud was discovered only when the swindler's lawyer called at the jail.
