REVIVE MEDIEVAL CUSTOM

The wheel Of Time is not always GO
ing forward !; sometimes it rolls back.
Despairing of ever getting their books
published under the soviet regime, "a
number of Russian authors are copying
their works in manuscript, and have
established a 4Bookshopf of Authors" in
Moscow, says Answers, London.
This recalls the early days of the
Renaissance, when the revival of the old
learning led. to great demand for
''scribes'' to make copies of the poets
and philosophers whose work, after cen.
turtles of neglect, had once more. come
into its own. T.
These scribes for some time could
command quite high prices for their
work, and, even after the printing press
had been introduced, continued to put
up brave fight against that ''soulless
machine"
In this they were encouraged by some
of the great mobiles of the time. The
Duke of UrbinO, for instance. who kept
40 scribes employed in copying parch-
ments, was accustomed to say that he
would be ashamed to have printed
book/in his library go

This MARRIAGE
IS TRAGI-COMIC
joke Says Boy, But Col
lege Girl Is Unable
To Agree

A certain pretty girl of humble home
and a certain dashing boy of wealth
and influence are wondering whether
marriage is q joke or a tragedy. Their
futures depend on their finding out,
says the Louisville Herald.ss.
\ They, have appealed to the courts for
judgment. And now their ease is be-
fore the supreme court OF, West Viz
ginia, on which sits the father of the
boy.
Ann Victoria Shakespeare, daughter
of former mill worker, who now runs
little confectionery store in Morgan
town, w. Va, small college town, is
the girl. Her father worked hard to
give her the best of verything-and
she got it. She became one of the
most popular students in West Virginia
University.
A Campus Lion"
Jamison Meredith, son of Judge
James A. Meredith Of Charleston, mem
Der of the supreme court of appeals of
the state, is the boy. The family is
prominent and wealthy. The boy
mingled in the best society and became
lion on the university campus.
. The boy and girl met. They became
close friends. August ID, 1922, they
went. out for motor car ride. Ae-
cording to the story told in court, there
was q proposal of marriage and an ac-
ceptance. Then they got marriage
license, declaring they were u years
old, although they were only 10.
There was a visit to church, con-
sultation with a pastor, a ceremony
and promise not to tell a soul But
the story leaked out. The elder Mere
diths got busy. They started court ac-
ton for an annulment.
Marriage A Jest
1.-THE marriage was entered into as
Jest, and we never intended to fulfill
as saying. But the girl has another
view.
I'VE were serious and l still am seri-
ous," she says. Il was and am ready
and willing to take my place at Jami-
sons side and appear before the world.
All this has caused me untold embar-
rassment, and now they want to have
the marriage annulled for his sake"
she went on with tears in her eyes.
But what about me:P
When the case came up in circuit
court the judge refused to annul the
marriage. Now the case is being car
ried to the higher cOurts-and the boys
father is one of its members.
Married Strangers
While tits making up its mind both
the young principals. are continuing
their studies at the. university both
are taking prominent part nythe ac-
tivities of the campus. They sit in the
same classrooms, have the same friends
yet they are as strangers to- each
other. ~
For the boy sees the situation as q
joke. .
But the girl sees it as a tragedy. 5

The deepest impression American

conditions back home. where the
turf in Scotland and northern Eng.
Land is the finest in the w3rld.
Havers plays his iron shots with
a pronounced scoot. This is very
effective when the turf is soft and
yielding.
But the husky Briton soon found
this system wouldn't work OH our
courses. He seemed reluctant to
change his style to suit new condi

match with Sarazen in San Fran

Arthur, you've got to hit down

But Havers preferred to stick to
his favorite method, which was the
real reason why Sarazen defeated
him, 5 and 4. in seventy.two.hole

Rather surprising, after his defeat
at the hands Of Sarazen, the Eng
