roast, wifey with the big lip retorted:
"Its roast you want, is it?' Then
she would roast him for couple of
hours, and he would go to bed,
hungry and hot under the collar, but
never a chirp would he make.
One day she nagged the old man
so hard that he went down into the
cellar and kicked the door of the
coal bin so hard that his foot devel-
oped blood poison and killed him.
His grand almoner announced that
he had kicked himself to death, but
the A. o. H. H. knew better and op-
posite his membership number was
entered, "Obit Fred Ill, grand do

many countries were brought in, the
award for the damages was made.
According to Babbitt's "The Law
Applied to Motor Vehicles: "One
who accepts an invitation to ride in
an automobile does not relinquish
his claim TO protection and the own
er and driver Is liable to him for
negligent operation"
An example of this is given in the
award of $4,000 damages In an Ala
bama case in which a man was
killed while riding with a friend
when the driver caused his machine
to collide with telegraph pole. An
other case was when the relatives of
a New York woman recovered dam
ages for her death caused by a wheel
coming off the motor vehicle on
which she was riding and which was
transporting her household effects
from one home to another.
Still another precedent appears In
a Southern state when an injured
man recovered $4,000 for injuries re-
ceiyed when he was thrown rrom
motor car in which he had been in
vited to ride as the driver sped
around a sharp curve.
There have been opinions favoring
the other side of the question, but
they are not as numerous as those
awarding damages.
So If you. Mr.. Motorist, are about
to invite a few friends for a ride, It
Is best to have them sign away all
rights to recover before the party
starts or else have them make over
their life or accident insurance in
your name for protection.

HARRY WILLS MAY BE JACKS NEXT FOE, SAYS KEARNS

GREAT FALLS, Mont, July G. (By Associated Press.) )-Harry Wills, the negro heavyweight, probably will be Jack Dempsey's next oppon- ent, Jack Kearns, manager of the heavyweight champion, said today. Kearns said he expected to finish his business here tomorrow and would leave imm ediately for New York to close negotiations for a match with Wills, to be decided probably on La bor Day.
 We want to box Wills if for noth- ing more than to convince the pub lio that Dempsey does not draw the color line and has no fear of him." Kearns said. The match was red hot a few months ago, but for some reason, 1t was tracked It is my opinion that 1t will draw better than return match with Willard. Dempsey knocked him down seven times in one round and could do 1t again, so I don't see much object in fighting him."
 Kearns revealed today that he still retains 33 Is per cent interest in the motion picture rights of the Shelby battle. Gibbons has 25 per cent interest, while Loy J. Molumby and Mayor Jim Johnson have fl 2-S interest in the motion pictures. Plans are being made to exhibit them throughout the country immediately. The pictures are declared by experts

SUZANNE LENGLEN IS STILL SUPREME
 M TENNIS WORLD
French Woman Wins Title At Wimbledon, Beating Miss
 MCKane

WIMBLEDON, July 6.-(By Asso- ciated Press s.)-Suzanne Lenglen still is supreme among all the women tennis players of the world. With ease and certainty, the French star this afternoon defeated Miss Kath- leen McKane, the best of Britain's tennis playing women, by the score of 6-2, 6-2, and so won for the fifth cons ecutive season the title of worlds champion. It was the fifth meeting between this pair of stars, and, with one exception, it was the worst beat ing Suzanne has administered to the lively British girl.
 Mile. Lenglen had the battle in hand from start to finish. She took the first five games, then dropped two and then finished the set on her own service.
 Miss McKane Is adept at volleying, and she decided to risk a few ex- cursions to the net when the second set began. Her audacity was worth while, momentarily, giving her one of the first two games, but Suzanne soon drove her back into deeper court and herself took the net. For most of the time the French player also stayed on the back court and the struggle as whole lacked thrills. It was merely a sure player exchang- ing blows until a weaker, uncertain opponent hit the ball inaccurately, driving 1t into the net or out of bounds.

 Heat Slows Up Play.
 The remainder of the days pro- gram produced little that was excit- l ing. For one thing, the weather, with the thermometer passing the 100 mark in the sun, was too hot for the European players, whose game lacked the usual dash. Still 1t wasn't too--et to keep L. g. D. Deane and Mrs. Shepperd-Barron from beating the American pair, Vincent Richards and l Mrs. Molla Mallory, who played a loose game. The score was 6-7. 6-3, l GA,

 Two planes which set out from Salt Lake City Thursday have not been heard from and fear Is held for the safety of the pilots. The frs. small Bristol high speed plane, carrying pictures for the Newspaper Enterprise association. left Salt Lake at 11:40.

 The Union Pacific sent out tracers along its Salt-Lake-Los Angeles route Friday. but failed to pick up any news or trace of the missing planes and men

 LATE WORKOUTS

YONKERs, N. Y, July 6.-Jess Willard does not look so good.
 Battling against the physical de- terioration of 40 years, the Kansas giant is attempting to maintain the condition which enabled him to knock out Floyd Johnson in the milk fund benefit battle at the Polo grounds several weeks ago.
 Close observation of his training shows that he is, to all outward phy- sical appearance, the Willard of old. His legs are 1.-the and trim. His bis shoulders hold the same powerful muscles and his hands smack against his sparring partners with the old time thud.
 But Jess in his workouts, gives the impression that something Is lack ing inside" He doesn't seem to have the zip. It Is one thing for a man of 40 long years to get himself into physical perfection for one Battle, but 1t Is quite another for him to maintain that condition for weeks.
