LAWYERS EXPLAIN
NEW MARRIAGE LAW
DECLARE GEOR-
GAS NEW ACT rs WITH
OUT MEANING"

The new marriage law which has
created such Juror up and down the
state really doesn't mean anything in
the opinion OF lawyers who have read
it, They take the position that people
who have been married since the law
became effective on August IS are just
as legally tiled" as those who answer
ed yes" prior to that date.
Attorney General George M. Napier
has expressed a similar opinion. He
holds that when a couple marry in
good faith and all essential require
ments have been complied with they
are legally married, whether or not
notice has been posted of their inten-
tons
The reason for this, it is pointed
out, is that three forms of marriage
are recognized in Georgia. They are
the ordinary marriage, in which a Ii
cense is granted by the Ordinary of
the county in which the couple live,
and returned to the Ordinary by the
minister or officer who performs the
ceremony; the common law marriage,
and the estoppel marriage.
Neither of the last two forms re-
qure license, though both are per-
fectly legal according to the laws of
the state of Georgia.
Hence marriages performed since
the day the new law was passed, and
without notice having been posted for
five days, are legal, it is declared. In
like manner the effects of the law may
be nullifed in succeeding marriages,
so that it is not so revolutionary as
it seems at first blush.
However the new law will be fol-
lowed to the letter by Ordinary Hoyl.
The law provides that in case Of an
Ordinary failing to comply with the
law he shall be sued for the sum of
$4,000. There is also provision
which allows the Ordinary to issue a
license without posting the application
when, in his judgment, it is Cease OF
emergency or extraordinary circum-
stances"

According to Aurora Pierce,
housekeeper in the executive man

is custard. She makes the crust and

Take three-quarters of a cup of
sugar, one tablespoonful of flour,
pinch of salt, and mix well. Beat
up two eggs until they are light
and mix with sugar and -four Then

ITALIAN ExPERlMENTER
TALKS TO FANS HERE

An italian radio experimenter,
Adriano Ducati. has communicated
successfully with amateurs in this
country with novel antenna ar
rangement, according to a COM
munication that has just been re-
ceived by the American Radio Re.
lay League. Mr.. Ducau increases
the capacity between his antenna
and counterpoise with an extra
counterpoise erected above the regu.
lar antenna system.
He is the first amateur in Italy
to establish two-way connection
with this country. Being unfa.
miliar with all of the methods EN-.
ployed by American radio men, he
did not place any special stress on
his novel; aerial. The technical de.
partment of the A. r. r. L., how.
ever, is interested in the use of an
additional counterpoise over the an.
tenna and experiments will be made
shortly to determine its special adj
vantages.. In other respects, Mr..
Ducati's equipment is similar to the
better class Of amateur stations in
this country.

PRIZE awarded
FOR RADIO
DRAMA
Il.
New York Woman Wins $500
for Play Adapted to
Broadcasting.
By cesnaopolltan News service.

effects" as q means OF creating
atmosphere.

successful and popular form Of en-
tertainment. WGY has been offer

II Is suggested that the VARIABLE
condenser and barometer be pur-
chased, but the coil is so simple
it might just as well be made at
home. The tuning coil shown fas-
tened to the variometer in the draw
ing should consist of 100 turns Of
No. % insulated copper wire tapped
every ten turns. If you purchase a
Variometer that will stand up you
can secure the coil to it with two
brass angles. This combination is
known as a tuner-variometer, the
tuner being to adjust for various
wave lengths and the variometer for
regeneration.
A 23-plate condenser, which is
about .0O05 microfarad capacity, is
connected in series with. the aeria.
and coil for fine variation Of wave
length and the less value of this
condenser is used on various sta
tons, the louder the signal will be.
Needs Few Wires.
The wiring diagram is also shown
and gives you an easily assembled
set with few wires. They should
be run as follows: The variable
condenser is connected to the aerial
binding post and to the end OF the
coil nearest the variometer; the
switch arm leading to the taps is
connected to ground: the grid leak
and condenser is connected to the
top Of the coil and variable con.
denser, the other side of the grid
condenser going to the grid terminal
of the socket Cbe sure and make
this connection short; one side OF
the variometer is connected to the
plate terminal of the socket and the
other. side to the telephones; the
telephones connect to the positive
of the b battery and the negative
is grounded; the A. battery is con.
nected in series with the rheostat
an filament of the tube, the rheo-
stat being in the negative lead and
the positive Of the A battery is
grounded; grounding the switch,
positive A battery and negative A
battery brings these wires to a
neutral point.
Tuning i'm Simple.
Tuning in stations with this set
is very simple. Set the tap switch
at about the third or fourth switch
contact from the top and turn the
condenser slowly over its entire
scale. If nothing is heard try the
fifth tap and swing the condenser
around. Keep increasing the num-
Der Of turns until station is picked
up, then increase the strength of
the signal by moving the plate
variometer for greater regeneration.
The more wire you use on the coil,
that is, the more switch contacts
you have your switch on. the longer
the wave length will be. the same
is true Of the condenser, the closer
the plates are the longer the wave
length. Beginning at the top of
the coil near the variometer we will
call the first contact No. / and the
bottom one No. 10. You win prob.

BY Listner-In-

I Broadcasting thrives on novelties.
Publicity seekers and press agents
with an idea, and many without an

Often they provide real novelty.
Again they produce only an alb
surdity.
In the midst of an Easter season
when broadcasters with a splendid
sense Of the fitness of things have
surpassed any previous effort in
creating a nationwide spirit ap.
propriate to the time, there comes
novelty in the form of q radio

He urged the use of wine when.
ever 1t was available, but recon.
mended grape juice as a substitute.

Iled a definite time for the COM
munion supper.
he will undoubtedly proclaim his
service a success and attempt to put

Many of DR.. Keigwin's fellow New

at the action. A few denounced it as
bordering on the sacrilegious.
