WIFE ASKS FOR DIVORCE
Second suit Filed in District Court
by Mrs. Myrtle G. Kemp.

After an unsuccessful attempt to re-
new domestic relations with her hus-
band. Mrs. Myrtle G. Kemp today
again filed a petition in the district
court asking a divorce from Richard
Kemp
Mrs. Kemp's first suit was filed
February 20, while her husband was
incarcerated in the city Jail for inves-
tigation following an allegation that
he had asked Pete Schoenfeldt of
North Topeka to assist him in a hold
up. A few minutes after a deputy
sheriff had serve the subpoena on
him. he attempted to commit suicide
by inhaling gas from an abandoned
lice matron, smelIed the escaping gas
and notified w. C. Kiely, docket
clerk, who interfered just in time to
save the mans life. Later he was re-
leased and Mrs Kemp also dismissed
her divorce suit
In her petition filed today the wife
says Kemp has a high temper and
that he has cursed and abused her,
and that he once struck heB with his
fist and disfigured her face. He be-
gan to curse her and call her vile
names, she says, within a month after
their marriage at Kansas City in
June, 1921. When she dismissed her
first suit. she declares, Kemp had
asked her forgiveness and promised
to treat her kindly in the future. But
he failed to keep the promise, she
charges.
After his attempt to commit sui
eide had been frustrated, Kemp told

on duty all the time. Ny device can
be turned to the 600-meter wave
length-the one reserved for sos
calls and when such a call is re-
ceivec it can be SO arranged that the
ships whistle, audible or visible in
dicating devices, will be operated, at
the same time making a graphic rec
ord of the message sent, whether the
operator be present or not.
This is accomplished by a super
sensitive radio relay, the important
part of the invention and without
which the feat could not be accom-
plished. When the instrument is
tuned in and the ether impulse, like
water flowing into a pipe, comes into
contact with the supersensitive relay
a series of impulses corresponding to
the received impulse will be accurate
ly transmitted and recorded"
Mr. Finch heartily endorses the
stand taken by Secretly of Commerce
Hoover, who holds that the private
experimenter should be assisted ana
not hampered by regulations affect
ing radio activity. Mr.. Finch came
from the amateur experimental class.

New York, March 27.-An auto
matte radio receiving device that will
automatically pick up and print press
dispatches sent in wireless code!
That is~the latest device, just per-
fected, for the radio enthusiast. The
machine, when adjusted. runs like a
clock and requires no operator.
The device has been perfected and
patented by William G. H Finch, an
experimental engineer, of Buffalo,
who is an associate member of the
Institute of Radio Engineers and
other technical societies. He has been
identified with radio development
since 1905. holding one Of the first
licenses granted by the government
early in 1918. During the world war
he organized and had charge of the
Radio First Field artillery, y. Y. c.
Finchss radio device enables anyone
to receive broadcasted code messages
from any distance. a record being
made of the message. which is printed
on a tape. 1t can pick
up news dispatches.

PLEADS FOR LIVING WAGE"
Four Main Points i'm Rail
Union Wage Argument.
All Productive Labor Needs
More Money He Says.

Chicago, March 27.-Industry must
be recognized on new principles that
will guarantee to all productive work
ers a living wage and steady earn
ing power or the conflict between
capital and labor will continue, B. NJ.
Jewell. president of the railway en-
ployes department of the American
Federation of Labor. told the United
States railroad labor board today
Jewell spoke in presentation of the
case OF the employees in opposition to
wage cuts asked by the carriers.
Four Main Principles.
The argument of the union, Jewell
said, would deal with four main
premises, which he named as follows:
l. An examination of the connec-
tion between wages being paid on the
railroads and in industry as a whole
and the cost of necessities of a
healthy family life.
e. ?. An exposition Of the forces OPP
Grating to determine wages in the
labor market.
,. A STUDY of the national income
with a view to ascertaining whether
industry can afford to pay a living
4. a forecast of the effect upon the
country's general prosperity which
would result from the payment of
living wage.
AT the outset Of his argument.
Jewell challenged the prevailing prin-
ciples of adjusting wages in industry
We have come here to challenge the
justice of the wage rates of all pro-
ductive labor he said, ito challenge
the very principle upon which the
railroads propose that rates of paw
shall be adjusted. We propose to
show how the entire purpose for
which industry is operated and must
be changed
Law of Supply and Demand Unjust.
The so-called law of supply and
demand" Jewell continued, "will |
never afford living wage in a sys-
TEN organized according to modern |
business principles
Jewell advanced the viewpoint that /
industry must not be divided into sec
lions when considering wage ques-
lions. but must be considered as a 1
whole surely the whole industry of /
the country must pay its way if the |
country is not TO go bankrupt" he /
said. ITO argue that each separate /
industry. run without coordination TO /
the whole, must pay its way is con- |
trary to the facts as to argue that a /
Etven railroad siding or spur must /
pay its way Independently"
Profits Only Should Vary.
Costs, wages and profits. Jewell /
pointed out are the three things that /
must come out of the yield of in
duStry. Costs and wages. he contend
cd, ought TO be constant. leaving /
profits as the variable factor. Indus
- , ne AGtAdEGur must iran XIV con-
template situation, in which tenn
porarily, profits may have to cease"
Until that situation has been accept
ed. he declared. the conflict be-
tween capital and labor viii con-
tinue"
Jewell declared that a system of
guaranteed income TO workers must
be devised by industry and that wages
must be maintained above a scale of
bare subsistence. IF an industry can
afford TO pay only a starvation wage,
it stands self condemned" he said
Dividends, he pointed out, are

TOR more than 80 years the Standard
Oil Company Qndiana) has been a
big refner of kerosene oil.
During all this time there has been a
steady improvement in the quality of its
product. This improvement has been
more marked in the past ten or fifteen
years during which time the Standard
Oil Company Qndiana) has developed
methods of manufacturing to eliminate
the danger of lamp explosions.
While thekerosene has been improved
the devices for using it have remained
unchanged.
Recognizing the fact that the users of
Perfection Kerosene were unable to get
maximum service from the oil they
burned. and realizing that the failure was
due not to the oil but to the devices,
the Standard Oil Company Ondiana) set
its experts to work to find a better burner
and more efficient chimney.
These men, working with the manu-
facturers of burners and chimneys, have
succeeded in developing devices which
increased largely the efficiency of the oil.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
does not sell lamps. But it believes that
the users of lamps should be informed
as to how to get the best results from
the kerosene they use.
To accomplish this result this Com
pany is distributing sixty thousand of
the new burners and chlmneyS to dealers
handling kerosene that they may dem
onstrate to their patrons how to get the
most light from Perfection Kerosene by
using appliances correctly designed.
The Standard Oil Company (Indiana)
has arranged with leading chimney man
ufacturers to stamp chimneys made in
accordance with the design and specihca-
tons with the following trade mark: 1S
This is but one of the many ways in
which the Standard Oil Compan
Ondiana) seeks to increase the efficiency
of the service it is rendering the people
of the territory it serves.
