Mrs. Clarice M. Bibb Everhart,
twenty-one years old, yesterday asked
the District Supreme Court to annul
her marriage to Eccles d. Everhart
which was celebrated September 2
last against her will and over her OBJ
jections, she states. The husband was
then only twenty years old, she told
the court. but repreented his age as
twenty-five years.
The young wife informs the court
that she was taking an automobile
ride with Everhart when he suddenly
proposed marriage and despite her
refusal, drove to the courthouse
where. by. coercion, threats and intim-
idations, he compelled her to go with
him to the Office of Col. w. A. Kroll,
the license clerk. and secured IL
cense. She was also compelled to go
through the wedding ceremony, she
claims. against her wishes. The mar
riage was never consummated, she
says, and she did not see Everhart
again until Christmas day, when they
happened to be in the same party.
Since that time she has not seen him.
she declares. and he has contributed
nothing to her support. She is repre-
sented by Attorney Frank E. Elder.

SEEKS SCIENTIFIC
IMMIGRATION BILL
Representative Wood to
Make Study Of Problem on
Trip in Europe.

Representative Will r. Wood OF In
diana. chairman of the republican
congressional committee, who re-
turned from a trip to Alaska on June
20. Is to sail on the Leviathan today for
six weeks in Europe to study the immi-
grafton problem, with view to father
ing legislation in the next Congress.
Immigration will be one of the
great questions in the new Congress-
said Representative Wood. His idea
Is that this country has been working
for many years from the wrong angle
with reference to admitting newcom-
ers to our shores. He believes that the
selection should be made on the other
side. that none should be allowed to
come to this country unless there was
reasonable assurance that they would
be admitted. and that ADMISSION
should be with reference to our nec~s-
sity instead of theirs.
Needs on Farms.
"A great many of the immigrants
now never think of going on the
farm" he points out. The greatest
need for immigrants in this country
today is on the farms. 1t is now being
demonstrated in every community
throughout the western harvest area.
wnere. 1Or lack OF ldDoT. many woiiiSh
are going into the fields helping to
save the crop.
wages in the cities have been so
alluring that it has been Impossible
to get farm labor for the harvests.
and even the farm boys themselves
have been leaving the farms in large
numbers for the attractions OF city
life.
Something must be done to get
immigrants onto the farms. This
might be accomplished through ad-
mitting them under agreement that
they would work on the farms for
three to five years and be subject to
deportation If they broke such agree
ment.
Need of Labor.
"The proposal that we close the
door absolutely to immigration for a
period of years is entirely prepos-
terous-its all poppycock. The steel
mills in Pennsylvania are an example
of one great industry that is abso-
lutely dependent upon immigration
for its laEor supply. If immigration
was shut off it would mean chaos for
these industrial establishments
He was amazed by what he saw on
his trip to Alaska as a member of
the House appropriations committee.
There is greater potentialtty in
Alaska than anywhere else l know
of today" said Representative Wood
Alaskan Settlement.
"In the incoming Congress we must
consider a policy for the permanent
settlement of Alaska. Many people
will not go to Alaska because they
misunderstood the conditions there.
The climate of Alaska is more eQui-
able than that of Indiana"
Something must be done to pre-
serve the salmon industry. according
to Representative Wood. who is him
self an enthusiastic fisher and has
made a careful study of ictheoloGy.
The salmon industry is doomed with
in five years unless action is taken
promptly, he feels. THE catch today
is only l per cent of what is was
twenty-five years ago" he empha-
sizes.
The returns from this fish indus
try thus far have equaled the return
from all other industries in Alaska.
and have amounted to 100000. 900.
We must put closed season on
Alaska salmon for period of years"

TWO-MINUTE TALKS ON
SAFETY.
Gasoline and sparks or Flames.

Gasoline and Sparks or Flames.
At ordinary temperature
gasoline gives off vapor,
which being heavier than air
will settle near the floor. Ii
the air in the garage or room
contains from IN to per
cent Of this gas, a spark or
flame may cause a violent ex-
plosion.
Gasoline should never be stored
indoors nor used there unless alb
solutely necessary. Never clean
garments in the house. Many
lives and much property have
been lost from this cause. Open
windows or doors may not per-
init sufficient draft to remove
all the vapors.
The least flame or spark will
ignite gasoline vapor. Most
people realize the danger of
having open lights or of smok-
ing around gasoline, although
some of these very ones take a
chance once too often. Few
persons, however. stop to think
of the many apparently trivial
causes Of gasoline explosions.
When gasoline Is poured
from one metal container to an
other a small amount of static
electricity Is generated by the
friction Of the fluid. This cur
rent may jump from one can to
another, causing a spark suffi-
cient to ignite the entire supply
of gasoline. Always keep the
two containers in contact with
each other or ground the pour
ing vessel by laying a chain
or steel bar across 1t. BE care
full about striking metal against
metal in the garage.
Use armored cable, vapor-
proof fittings, keyless socket
and rigid cage around lamp Of
portable electric lights in ga
rage. Keep all only or greasy
rags and waste in metal con-
tainers.
