Preferred Golf To Husbands d'sCompany

Thomas Assheton was born and bred down south, in old Virginia, and the hospitable disposition of his wife, in playing with her friends and a pet dog, did not coincide with his ideas of southern hospitality. Asshe- ton appeared before Referee Joel Reed, yesterday, asking for recom- mendadon for a divorce from his wife, Dorothy Dean Assheton on the grounds that she was cruel. Mrs. AsSheton was in court with her mother but did not take the stand.
 The Asshetons were marr1ed in New York, November ', 1914 and went to the sunry south to live. Ms Assheton did not like the south and she returned home to mother. She returned to her husbands southern plantation, however, in January, 1915, but left him again on two oc- cad Ions.
 Assheton declared that his wife preferred the company of her own folks, and of playing golf and tennis at the WeeIburn Country club, than his company in their home on Straw berry Hill in Stamford

Wants Standard Rating For
 Auto Trucks

Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Robbins B. Stoecke1 has requested the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce and the Society of Automo O. tive Engineers to formulate a stand ard method for rating motor trucks to determine their safe carrying ca pacity.
 Under existing regulations, the mo- tor vehicle department will not reg ister a truck for a capacity greater than is guaranteed by its manufac- turers as being safe. This system Is working satisfactorily in cases of trucks that have not been materially changed since leaving the factory, but it provides no method for determin- ing the weight that homemade trucks may safely carry.
 The department has received many applications to register at excessive capacities trucks that have been made by putting commercial bodies on tour ing car chaSseS. It is difficult to de- tecmine what is @ safe load for such trucks, particularly when the owners have made some effort to strengthe en certain vital parts to meet increased strain.
 In order to overcome this problem. the department desires the organiza- tions mentioned to fix a certain min imum size or weight for the different parts of a truck of given capacity, the parts of elevators, or the regula- tions which restrict the electrical current that may be passed through various sizes of wire.
 The departments move in this di- rection is made primarily for the sake of safety to users of the public highways, and secondly to enable it to assess against truck owners fees commensurate with the wear of their cars Cn the roads.

Cross Crossings
 Carefully Is A. R. As Slogan

Gross Crossings Carefully is the slogan. adopted by the American Rail- day Association in their conducting of the Careful Crossing Campaign. which started June 1st and ends Sept. 30.
 How do you approach a railroad crossing? If you have any intention of putting in the full number of years allotted to you on this sphere, it would be well to Stop, Look. and Listen or to Lookout for the Cars. The Interstate Commerce Comnlis- sion's latest figures show that a total of 6,S68 people have been killed or injured at railroad and electric road crossings within a year. Pedestrians total 6S9, autom obilists 5,25O and oc- cupants of all other vehicles 931. The number is constantly moving up ward.
 The latest bulletin of the Safety Council of the local Manufacturers Association reads: ''Those who have read the newspapers recently are impressed with the tremendous and increasing loss of life and property throuhg accidents at grade crossings, and no argument is necessary to con vince anyone that continuous and consistent work must be done along the lines of accident prevention"

Demonstrations convince the man from Missouri land the wonderful feats performed by the new model Mitchell F 50 are little short of mar velous and emphasize in a most con- vincing manner the strength of ma terials and perfection in design of this new model and uphold the tradi- tions associated with the name of Mitchell for the past 28 years.
 Most successful results come from long experience in motor car build ing such as the Mitchell represents and the White Streak F 50 stock car is out to prove that it is the Header of it's olass'' with a run of 10000 miles with hood sealed. no adjust ments can be made. Previous to this test of reliability this car had been run 14,o00 miles and without replace ments of any kind after continuous demonstrations of slow mountain climbing in high gear, riding rail- road tracks, jumping curbs and other stunts designed to show a weak spot if it were possible to find one.
 Unusual tests are. interesting to everyone and, the 10000 miles sealed hood test by the White Streak Mitch ell No. 1 after a long series of stunt demonstrations will convince beyond words the reliability of the Mitchell F 50.

Kentucky Youth
Deserts a Wife;
Takes Ma-in-Law
(By Associated Press)

Maysville, KY; March 1.-Two d.
vorce suits are pending in the Mason
county circuit court here because Carl
Kellum, 23 years old, and his mother
in law, Mrs. Addie Gallagher, 40, ran
off together, according to the petit
tions filed by Mrs. Ina Gallagher
Kellum, Is, against her husband, and
John Gallagher, SIS, against his wife.
Mrs. Kellum says she was married
two years ago and was very happy
on her husbands farm, four miles
from here. A short time ago, she
alleges, her mother, who lived at
home on an adjoining farm, ran off
with Kellum and never returned.
Gallagher's petition unfolds the
same story.
Kellum and Mrs. Gallagher are liv-
ing together in this county now, the
petitions charge.
