New Resident Fishing Licenses Issued
In Towns

The Department of Inland Fisher

inquiries from individuals with refer
ence to the new resident fishing IL
cense, the public not appearing to I'M
derstand that these licenses are to be
issued to applicants by the clerk Of
the city, town or plantation in which
they reside, not by the Department

town and plantation clerks these
blank licenses, but the clerk or dep
uty is the only person authorized by
law to issue these licenses to indiyid-
uals.
This law does not become effective
until July 7th; furthermore, the 1923
law specifically provides that on the
day when this law becomes effective

Columbus, O., March l4.-lf you

you'll never be one.
This discouraging bit comes
from Dr.. II. H. Goddard, Ohio
State University psychiatrist.
Every human being is born IN
to the world with the potentiaIity
to develop just so far and no
farther" DR.. Goddard said.
"The original idea Of equality
refers to opportunity, not ca
pacity."
The declaration Of many per
sons that such statements are too
discouraging to be spread abroad,
was said by Dr.. Goddard to be
a fallacy, because we must rec
ognize facts and act accordingly
"The cattle raiser knows nc
must have the right breed OF
stock to begin with or he will fail
Goddard said.
"a scrub breed never produced
a prize winner no matter what
fine environment was given it.
"lf you are a scrub breed the
sooner you find it out the bet
ter. Then you'll know where to
find success.
"a lot of useless effort would
be saved if the scrubs only rea-
lied their limitations and kept to
the very important scrub JOBS,
instead of making themselves
drags on the universities OF the

An Annulment Degree

The romance of fifty-siX-year
old John F. Jones and his girl
bride, Charlotte Louise Ryon
Jones, whom he married here II
August &c, 1921, when she was
but fifteen years old, was blasted
yesterday by Justice Siddons in
Equity Court of Washington who
signed an interlocutory decree an
nulling the marriage.
The decree was based on the
ground that Jones had given the
girls age as eighteen, when the
license was issued and had coerc-
ed her into the marriage against
her will. The suit was brought
by the girls mother, Mrs, Hattie
A. Ryon.
According to the girls story,
she lived near Jones home and
had played with his children.After
his wife died in October, 1919,
she declared, she did odd Jobs
in his home, being at that time
only twelve years old, looking up
on Jones as Il father rather than
a lover. Her own father was in
sanitarium.
The marriage was kept secret
until July %, 1929, when the girl
alleged. Jones told about it just 20
