itors in Mt. Vernon Monday. They
drove from Hume to Mt. Vernon, start

While in Mt. Vernon these visitors

ance Of w. l.. Robinson, chairman Of

not officially representing the Pixies
Peak Ocean to Ocean Highway organi-
zation, they were enthusiastic boost
ers for that route, which passes
through their home towns.
From Hume the party followed the
route of the highway to Indianapolis,
Richmond and thence eastward
through Ohio. They report they found
a very considerable portion of this
highway improved, either by paving,
gravel or oil. Comparatively small
part was unimproved.
That part of the highway which is in
Ohio follows route from Richmond,
Ind, to Greenville, Piqua, Urbana,
Marysville, Delaware, Sunbury, Mt.
Vernon, Coshocton, New Comerstown,
Dennison, Cadiz, Steubenville to Pitts.

of the Pennsylvania railroad.
While here, Messrs. Rogers and
Henderson told of the enthusiasm and
interest in the promotion Of the Pixies
Peak Ocean to Ocean highway by the
people Of their communities. Hume
which has population of but 700, has
4 membership of 81 in the highway or
ganization.
"The1 people OF that section of ILL
nois and Indiana know the value of a
national highway like this" said Mr.
Rogers to a representative of The

anyone who isn't for it must be crazy
It's benefits are impossible to calcu

In the divorce case Of Hazel Thomp-
son vs.. Arthur c. Thompson, spicy
answer was filed Wednesday in the
Knox county common pleas court in
which the defendant alleges that the
plaintiff is guilty of violating the or
ders of the court in Athens county
and that motion declaring the plain
tiff in contempt Of court is now pend.
ing in that county.
The defendant in his answer denies
that the plaintiff Is a resident of Ohio;
denies that he is telegraph operator
and denies that he has home at Mel
sonville, o.
On cross-petition the defendant says
that the plaintiff filed her petition for
divorce in Atheps county, Ohio, and
by court decree the plaintiff was
given the care and custody of the
minor child, but that the defendant
was to have the privilege of visiting
the child. The defendant declares that
the plaintiff has violated the courts
order and has refused to allow the
defendant to see the child. He alleges
that motion declaring the plaintiff to
be in contempt of court is now pend
ing in the Athens county common
pleas court The defendant therefore
asks that the plaintiffs petition in the
Knox county common pleas court be
dismissed.
Harry w. Rooms, and Woolley G
Rowland of Athens are the attorneys

some advice Siege gave his wife in re.

was and whether IT was followed has been
a mooted question ever since. But that
meeting made a great difference in the
lives OF Jack Dempsey and Bee Palmer.
Husband Siegel charged In divorce pa
pers not & great while later that the magic
OF brawny shoulders, bull neck and knock

handsomest Beau Brummels Of Broadway
had failed Then, so says Siegel, Bees
expert delineation OF her shaking dance

Both Jack and Bee were shocked by
these charges.

II was natural enough that the magazine
cover artists sitting about the tables
should discuss feminine beauty-it is a

knows and draws pretty girls, happened to
sit down with his wife at the table where
Mr.. Harrison Fisher, who also certainly
knows and draws pretty girls, was sitting
Just at that moment Mr.. Fisher was end

beauty with these words:
Give me face in which strength is
united with beauty! A face is like house.
II requires a firm foundation. / insist
upon strong jaw. A face with weak
chin lacks beauty"
Give me the figure girl" remarked Mr..
Olive. "A figure In which curve melts into
curve as wave melts into wave in the
ocean"
Have you seen the current Mfdnight
Frollc?" asked Mr. Fisher. "If so. You
have seen Edna Wheaton, who can meet
your standard of beauty as we'll as mine"
Just then In came Miss Wheaton herself
with some other Folly girls. The discus
sion spread to the charms of others in the
room. At last Mr.. Fisher was appointed
