Little Word in Marriage Service
 Must Be Deleted, Say Some

London, Sept 16,-That trouble some little word obey" in the mar riage service of the Church of Eng land is again the subject of com ment and may raise controversy when the national assembly of the church meets in November.
 The league of the church militant is determined that 1t shall be deleted and a systematic canvass is being made among the women of England to enlist their aid in a movement for the emancipation of their sisters from marital thralldom.
 "The marriage service as it stands now is the application of 18th cen tury ideas of woman to the goth cen- tury." says Mrs, Martson Acres, an official of the league. Tt implies a distinct inferiority both of position and of intellect in the wife, and in the homly that begins the service the reasons given for the state of mahimony are not only materials tic, but distinctly imply that celibacy is virtue and marriage an sx- lpcdient.
 "A more sensible service would have a tremendously minimizing ef- feet on divorce. think that this is the time for reform more than any that has gone before"

LIONS CLUB SOLID
 FOR NEW ENGLAND
Members Become Boosters at Weekly Luncheon Today

An appeal to boost New England and especially New Brtain-made products was made by Robert c. Vance, chairman of tho speakers committee. at the weekly meeting and luncheon of the Lions club at .he Burritt hotel today
 Mr. Vance was called upon 10 substitute for Lawrence J. Watson, secretary of the All New England committee, who was to como here from Boston to speak but was stricken i'll last night and was forced to cancel his engagement.
 MT. Vance called attention 10 the building boom in New Britain and the fact that practically everything in supplies and tools for this Kind of work is produced in the city. He spoke of the, rapid advances being made by western manufacturers and said the feeling is growing that New England has been too conservative in the past and that 1t will have to become less conservative in or der to keep up with the rapid strides in the west.
 The members found booklets tell ing of New England traditions and products at their plates and various members were called upon to read selections from them. O. H. Hein- rich was called upon to road about 'New England women" pr. l.. l.. pary read about New England poets but was forced to stop when he said New Britain poets were unappre- ciated. Harry G. Hancock read about New England insurance, and said the John Hancock insurance company was founded by his uncle, a statement which seemed 10 pro- yoke some amusement.
 The readings came to sudden conclusion when F. W. Macomber, treasurer of the New Britain Trust Co, was called upon to read about New England banks.
 William Brennecker won the at renQdlCS pIlSt' d DctSNtl OA pV'Nli'S from the farm of Dr. J. H. Potts at Newington. Dr. Potts informed the members that he was well ac- anainted with the dog on the farm and would be glad to accompany the Lions on a peach hunting expe- dition at any time.

He said next week K. M. Searle would donate an automobile of the type of which he has the agency and the following week A. W, Piper would give a wet wash to the one who needed 1t most.

TWO DEATH TRAILS
CROSS IN CHICAGO
Man Found Slain in Drift.
Woman Believed His Wife
Murdered in Room.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, February GA double
murder mystery involving the theo-
ries Of bootleg killing, revenge or
domestic trouble centers the activity
of detectives seeking clues to the
slayers OF John Duffy, found in a
roadside snowdrift at Argo. ILL.,, early
yesterday, and a woman partly iden-
tilted as Mrs. Duffy, found last night
in an excellently furnished apartment
c. Horton.
The woman's body, 4 bullet hole
through her head. was discovered
when police, after an all-day vigil in
front of the Horton home, forced the
door. She was lying on a davenport
and may have been shot while sleep
ing, detectives say. Remnants Of
food on table, cigarette ends and
whisky bottles indicated that sew
eral persons had been in the apart
ment shortly before the shooting,
officers believe.
\ search is being made for Mr.. and
Mrs. Cecil Horton, thought to have
left ten days ago on an automobile
though papers and letters in the
apartment indicate that the dead
woman may be Mrs. Horton.
Left Home Suddenly.
Police LEARNED from letters that
the dead woman formerly lived at
447 South Sd street, Louisville, KY,
where she was known as Miss EXley
and Miss Virginia James, and at some
time had lived in Berkeley, Calf. A
letter from her mother, written on
February Is. indicated she had left
home suddenly and been married to
stranger of whom the mother ap-
parently had no knowledge.

ters to Horton were found from his

There is understood to be a strong
probability that Frederick n. Zihl-

mary election to be held in May, for
the republican nomination for the
House of Representatives to succeed
himself. Republican leaders of the fiv
counties-Allegany, Garrett, WaSl
;ngton, Frederick and Montgomery
comprising this congressional district
have, it is known, held several con-
ferenceS recently looking to bringing
out candidate against RepreSe nta-
tive Zihlman, but no one has yet beer
selected to make the fight. Former
States Attorney Thomas l. Dawson
of Rockville is being urged to make
the race, but he stated today that he
does not feel he is in a position tc
make the sacrifices such candidacy
would involve and that he must be
considered out of it. Those in a posi-
zion to know, state that MIR. Zihlmar
will surely have a fight on his hands
for the nomination and that the name
of his opponent will soon be made
known.
