been brought to the people In Kansas I;
he then was "about three years old"
IL this wedding ring was his mothers,
the date would be about right; 1t was
a date probably something more than
q year before Alan was born. Con-
stance put down the ring and picked
up the watch. It was like Uncle Ben

He had several, she knew, presented
to him at various times watches al
most always were the testimonials
given to seamen for acts of sacrifice
and bravery. The spring which op-
Grated the cover would not work, but
Constance forced the cover open.
There, inside the cover as she had
thought II would be, was engraved
writing. Sand had seeped into the
case; the inscription was obllterated
In part.

.CHINA'S ACCEPTANCE
OF SHANTUNC OFFER
AWAITS PEKING WORD
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. Jan. 26-The
Shantung controversy had been
brought under the spotlight today
through President Harding's direct
move to bring Japan and China to-
gether on the issue that now appears
to present the only serious obstacle to
a speedy conclusion of the whole
range of arms conference negotiations.
The result of the presidents direct
appeal to Minister SEE Of the Chinese
delegation who went to the White
House late yesterday with Secretary
Hughes that China accept the latest
compromise offer on the Tsingtao
railroad issue, appeared today to
hinge largely on the attitude of Pek-
ing.
Acceptance by the Japanese dele
gates of the renewed offer of good
Offices" by Secretary Hughes and Ar
thur J. Balfour, hitherto declined, was
understood to have opened the way
for the presidents move to secure
Chinese acceptance of the compromise
plan sponsored by those officials.
No Formal Pledge
While there was said to have been
no formal pledge of approval by ia
pan, her acceptance was regarded as
a foregone conclusion. Under the pro-
posal Japan would abandon her propo.
sition for loan to China, the latter
purchasing the railroad with treasury
notes payable at option of five to Ia
years hence. China's concession would
be withdrawal of her opposition to re-
| tention of a Japanese traffic manager
and chief accountant during the period
of payment.
Agreement on policy as to develop
ment of Chinese wireless facilities
still remained to be reached today by
! the far eastern committee, the in
conclusive debate which occupied all
| of yesterdays session centering about
| the question of whether a competitive
or cooperative policy should be
adopted.

MORE MARRIED men
NOW, CENSUS Shows;
DIVORCES INCREASE
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The pro-
portion of married men to the total
male population of the country 10
years of age and over increased from
55S percent to 59.2 percent in the 10
years preceding the 1929 census, ac-
cording to a compilation of martial
statistics made public today by the
census bureau.
The bureau believed, however, that
this was probably more indicative OF a
change in the age composition OF the
population-an increase in the per
centage of males between is and. 70
years of age, due to increased immigra-
tion-than a growing propensity to
matrimony.
Of the total male population of 53,-
900. o.431 above the 15-year classification
the census figures showed q 1926
married, 1,75S,3OS widowed, and 235,
2S4 divorced, the latter figure, how
ever. including none divorced and re
married.
Divorces Increase.
The divorce total showed an in.
crease of 90 percent in its ratio to the
total population during the 40year
period, constituting siX-tenths OF one
percent OF the latter against five
tenths in 1910. Although due to the
absence Of the wives of many foreign
born residents, the number of married
women was shown to be about 100000
less than the male total, the number
OF divorced women exceeded men
| by approximately 10000, representing
closely the difference between the
number of men and women remarked
after divorce.
/ BY states, Massachusetts led the
field in the proportion of single WON
en- with a percentage of 3f.4 although
! the district of Columbia exceeded this
| with 37.3 percent. The census bureau
/ pointed out, however, that the ratio Of
/ men to women in the population nat
urally has a very important bearing
on the proportions of single men ant
women" Wyoming led with 70.6 per
cent in the proportions of married
women, while the largest proportion
of married men 62S percent wal
shown for Mississippi and Arkansas
and the smallest 45.9 percent for Ne

early today, destroyed 100 street cars
and forced fifty families living nearby
in cottages to the streets scantily clad.
Wellington Fish, general manager or

be approximately S1,500,00O.
Two hundred other street cars were
saved when, with the motive power
automatically shut off they were
coupled together and hauled from the
barn by motor trucks.
Gasolene stored in the barn caused
numerous explosions but no one was
injured. Sparks fell on the roofs OF a
score of cottages but these small
blazes were quickly extinguished'
Windows in thirty homes were shat
