 ASK WIVES CONSENT Bill Requires Husbands to Get Permission Before Going Fishing

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 25.-The senate committee on wild lands of the deer. gia legislature has before 1t a Dill in. troduced by Senator Dennis Fleming of Dougherty county to make 1t nee. essary for husbands in that state to obtain permission of their wives Dc. fore going fishing.
 Senator Fleming, a fisherman him. self and a married man, was merely exercising his keen Irish humor when he introduced the measure, and had no idea of hearing an echo expressed through the Curiosity of 50 famous | person as Hudson Maxim. the inven. tor and author
 In a letter to s. G. McLendon, sAc. retary of state. MT. Maxim wrote: \ bill has been introduced in the senate of the State of Georgia by Senator Dennis Fleming which contains tome provisions so drastic that it hos oc- cured to me that the whole thing must be joke"
 Quoting provisions of the bill As described in the Tribune story, that "any and all married men who shall go fishing without the consent ot their wives shall be guilty of a felony. and their sentence shall not be leSo than five or more than twenty yearS at hard labor" the inventor wrote: T shall deem the courtesy very much If you will let me know whether or not such legislation is being pro- posed in the State of Georgia. AS am writing a book on lawless leg1sia- ton in the United States, am safl- ering any striking bits of lesislAticn which may be useful for my work"

 Maxries New Britain Man-Briefs.
 Town Clerk Arthur L. Woodruff has received a new book 39 inches long by 26 inches wide, in which he is filing away all maps of various properties in Berlin and among the list which he has filed is one of the installation of gas mains on Worth ington Ridge. This map was drawn in July, 1910. and it is interesting to note that of the people living on Der lin stAeet at that time there are few who still reside in own. A large number have been claimed by death and many have moved to other parts of the country
 Below is a list of all people who resided on the west side of Berlin street in 1910. but who have either moved or are deceased. Beginning at the southern end Of the street the first house was that of Mir. Kane, who has moved out of town. Then came that of c. M. Jarvis, deceased; Mrs. B. K. Field, deceased; Walter Gwat- kin, deceased; D. E. Bradley out of tcwn Fanny Robins, deceased; Mrs. S. A. Roys, deceased; Leon DeClair, deceased; Thomas Ensign, moved; :; Mrs. J. Riley, deceased: Julia Hovey deceased; W. w. Christian, moved; Charles Risley, moved; Daniel Elan nery, deceased: John Mckay, de- ceased Mrs. E. Elton, moved; Frank Vile, moved: J. O'Donnall, deceased.
 Those living in the west side of the street in 1919 and who are still there are F. L. Wilcox, Mrs. W. s. Bran dagee, Mrs. E. J. Pierce, Congrega- tional church and parsonage. Bran dagee estate, J. W. Woodruff store, Herbert and Meyer Goodrich
 The home of Leon LeClair mention ed above was on the corner of Berlin and Hudson streets, and was torn down several years ago. The com- munity building is on the lot of the cid Riley homestead, while Nelson Minor lives in the old Hovey property. The Flannery property was known as tllc OcsI iloIcl III iool HI anu tne pOSI- office is now located in that building, which is owned by Tracey Hallock
 East Side of Street.
 That there have been just as many changes on the east side can be seen by the list below. In 1910 the prop erty on the east side of Berlin street from south to north was owned by the following people: c. M. Jarvis, deceased Leon Le Clair, Jr, moved; Walter Gwatkin. deceased; E. I. Clark, moved: Mechanics hall, now a residence occupied by the Judd and Loiselle families; Miss c. M. North, deceased; Charles Webster, deceased; Miss E. P Wilcox; W. H. Webster; Daniel Webster, deceased: Marcus Ja- cobs, deceased Mrs. Hopkins, de- ceased; John Coniey, W. H. Gibney. Mrs Elizabeth Piper, deceased; Sam uel Bosworth, deceased, and a Mir. Hultin. It can be seen from the above list of names that there have been many property changes within the past IF years.
 The Marcus Jacobs house burned some time ago and George Prentice now has his home On the site of the old Jacobs place. Dr. Hodgson re- sides in the house which was the property of Leon LeClair, Jr.

WHY so PIFFLrNGr
Haywood Broun. in Judge.

Haywood Broun, in Judge.
 We would like to stop for just a little sermon. Why need all the str ies of motion ictures be so piffling? Why need the heroes and heroines have to be fairly plastered with vir- lures? Wouldn't a good deal of credl- table behavior be assumed by the au- diences If all the tags were left of and average people just put through their paces? Maybe not. But there is one thing we are sure of. and that Is that what Is enchanting to the eye can be greatly increased If there Is some genuine emotion behind it. The world is long way from wanting its aesthetics cold. We have always had the theory that what made the Merry Widow Waltz" so much the superior of all its rivals was that 1t was the climax of an emotional scene. The widow and her prinae had quarrreled and gonetheir ways. but they met for one last waltz. The music was excellent, and the dancers were young, romantic and skilifui. But there have been waltzes. dancers Just as well and better. that have hardly lasted through to the ho.eI crchestras.

Jack Hutchison Twice Breaks 70, For Record Score For 36 Hole Qualifying Match
By Associated Press


 Skokie Country Club. Glencoe, H., July 10.-zThe biz wheel of the qualifying rounds in the national open golf tournament turned one- third of it's course today as players from all parts of the world fought through 36 holes for a chance in the finals Thursday and Friday with only ,27 reaching the goal.
 The end of the big day found all of the national and international stars shooting today within the coveted circle, although a few had narrow escapes, and new record for two rounds of qualifying play made by Jock Hutchison, a Chicago pro, who held the British open champion ship last year.
 Jock turned in a card of 67-6S-1S5, the lowest mark ever made in an American tournament, Mike Brady of Detroit with 143, Jim Barnes of Pel- ham Manor, N. r., present title holder, with 144; A. B. Mitchell of England with another IA and Joe Kirkwood, the Australian champion, with 146, followed along behind Jack.
 The other qualifiers ranged up to 152. The low 24 were to qualify. but they made 1t 27.
 Chick" Evans of Chicago, who probably has held titles more often than any amateur in the world, came two strokes of falling to qualify when he went off his game in the first afternoon nine and took 42, eight over par. He pulled himself to- gether in the final nine, shooting a S5 against par 36 and this, with his morning 73. gave him 151 and placed him near the bottom of those in to- days play who will go into the finals.
 Tomorrow and Wednesday new fields will go out with the low 24 and ties for twenty-fourth qualifying for the finals. Il
 Rain at Last
 Most of the morning scores were rather high because of heavy rain last night This rain, while mak- ing the course esoggy at the start, left 1t In perfect shape through most of the day and the golfers who had been used to the concrete-like fair weys, found trouble in judging dis- tance when there was no roll on the ball. In the afternoon a majority settled into their natural stride and the golde seen by the several thou sand spectators who paid an adnnis- sion fee of S1, this being the first time an admission fee has been charged, was of the type read about but seldom witnessed Beautiful drives. long butts. holed approaches, pitches dotted to the cup and seem ingly impossible recoveries from traps and bunkers were among the shots which the clubs produced.
 In this 36 holes Jock Hutchison hung up one original nine birdies. 2l par holes and was over par five times.
 He started out by topping drive and then going into a trap for a six on the par for first. The rest of his remaining round was just one perfect shot after another, none of them spectacular but each a masterpiece. Approaches went dead to the cup, drives were straight toward the flags and every putt was true except one of five feet on. the tenth, which rim med the cup. Jock made the first nine in a 34 and was three under with a S3 on the second
 Afternoon Round
 In the afternoon, Hutchison again started out with more than par for the first hole, taking a five when his mashies pitch caught sand trap.

 apparently flat. Referee Evans saw light beneath Lacey's shoulders and the canvass. however, and the ~" grappler. giving enc last lunge, roii' ed off the mat.
 Smiles Uses HeadIock
 Referee Evans sent the boys to tho center of the mat, but the rest was easy for Smiles. Lacey was groggy. and In poor condition to offer a de- fense of any kind. Smiles fell onto the same hold he had just relinquish- ed. and again took Lacey to the mat This time there was no light, and Dave Evans gave the fall to Smiles.
 By rules of wrestling by rounds that would merely have decided the round, and not ended the bout. Lacey was still dazed. and in no condition to continue, however, so the match went to Homer Smiles.
 It was a splendid exhibition of wrestling skill, and attained a de- gree of intensity that few mat bouts can reach. The Lacey-Smiles battle last night was about as thrilling and exciting as it is possible for two wrestlers to stage. The fierceness of the battle grew out of a rivalry Of long standing, and each young grappler felt that everything de- pended upon the outcome.
 Kelly Stops Keith
 It took Battling Kelly two rounds to solve the somewhat shaky de- fense of Phil Keith last night, and the Battler scored four-round tech nical Knockout victory over his op- ponent last night.
 For couple of rounds the boys did little but spar, with Kelly show ing something of his old time form nIaVarnaGc a | A. him look like n champion. In the third round. Kelly landed a left hook that took Keith off his balance. The Miami boxer went groggy, aud but for the overanxiousness of Kelly. and the ringing of the gong inn mediately after Kelly did land the finisher, saved Keith from a knock out in, that round
 In the fourth, Kelly. still swinging wildly and the even more wildly wabtling Keith, did land a haymdk- CT, and Keith went down. He was struggling gamely to rise to his feet when his seconds threw the towel into the ring.
 The boys weighed in at between 40 and 145 pounds each.
 Hendricks and Jones Draw
 In a bout that was some thing of a comeback for Fritz Jones. former Central High school athlete and at one time an amateur champion, Claude Hendricks and Jones wrestled six rounds to draw.
 Hendricks. whose gym work keeps him always in good condition, had . fine assortment of holds. but the strength of Jones and quite a bit of old time science he used to show held the bout to draw These chaps are welterweights.
 Larry Frederick and Luke Clark battted three rounds to draw. The affair started off like 1t would be a victory for Larry, but Luke ral- lied and earned draw by some game battling. The boys are lightweights.
 A fairly good crowd witnessed the wrestling cafd last night. and stayed over to see the boxing bouts afterwards
