Boston Women Scott Plan to
Take Word From Ritual
of Marriage

BOSTON, Sept. 1.-'Love, honor
and obey" are three great words
of the marriage ceremony.
Should the word 'obey" be
dropped?
This question is being discussed
in religious circles and social gath
erings throughout the United
States.
The Right Reverend Charles l..
Slattery, bishop coadjutor of the
diocese of Massachusetts,, says the
word obey is not vital to happi-
ness.
The Right Reverend Irving
Peake johnson, bishop of the Epis-
copal diocese of Colorado, voiced
the first protest of a notable leader
of the church against the elimina-
ton of the word obey"
He says that man was made the
head of the family because 1t is
his duty to provide and protect,
and if woman assumes leadership
the man loses a glory the woman
does not gain.
Women Differ
Greater Boston women, who
have enjoyed half century or
more of married life, differ some
what from the opinion Of the Right
Reverend Johnson.
In their opinion II married couples
please each other the word obey
will be complied with.
Mrs. James Yeames, wife or Well
known Arlington, Mass, clergyman,
when interviewed on the subject
said:
Il have studied this question care
fully and l can honestly say that
I see no reason for changing the
wording Of the ceremony and drop
ping the word obey.
After all, it is entirely up to both
the husband and wife to make their
married life what It is to be. / say
both must please each other AMI
If they do this the word obey will
be fully complied with and their
lives will be happy ones. l do not
interpret that word as meaning to
jump at all commands but rather 4
think it means to aid and help and

kin, 1.-THE questions that are coming
up today regarding religious GUS
toms older than the grandfathers
of those who discuss them.
'.I have been married sixty-seven
years and / have tried to please
my husband, and he in turn has
pleased me. The ceremony OF yes
terday is just as good as 1t ever
was and see no material gain
in Y dropping the word obey Tor
the sake of a few who take mar
riage lust as an experience.
'iLet those who plan to be mar
ried start out pleasing each other

ble."
After ALL" said Mrs. p. T. Hen
bricks, of Arlington, who has been
married sixty-three years, the ar
gument is sover happiness of mar
ried life, which lies entirely within
the parties concerned. If each
starts out doing all that he or she
can for the other, then there is
bound to be happiness.
The word obey has been used
for years, and whether they con-
tinue to use 1t or not believe
that the young folks who get mar
ried, If they are marrying for love,
are bound to be happy, because
they will start out pleasing each
other, They will not give a thought
to the presence Of the word In the
ceremony"

Trapper Amputates
: His Shattered Leg;
Dies Soon After

PERTH, Australia, Sept. l.
A. B. Ronald, trapper, cut off
his own leg with a knife after
a serious injury and lived long
enough to tell about it, but died
shortly afterward of blood poi
soning. He had been trapping
dingoes with spring guns, one
of which he kicked, and the
charge shattered his leg below
the knee. :.
He attempted to drag himself
home, but after going about
fifty yards found the injury so
serious that he decided to cut
off his leg. He performed the
amputation with hunting
knife and bound the upper por-
ton up with wire.
Shortly afterward he was
found by his daughter 100 yards
from the spot where he had
performed the operation. He
was able to tell the full story
but died the same night.

THR0NGEDB BY
KLANS
As Special Trains Arrive,
Bearing Hooded Groups
for Parade

/ With special trains unloading
hundreds of Klansmen, Khan women
and their families, the Union Sta
ton all morning was perhaps the
busiest spot in Washington.
Despite the incense crowds, how
ever, the comparative quiet and en-
tire lack of confusion contrasted
sharply with the noise usually made
by incoming throngs here.
From a. m. today until noon,
special trains from all over the East
as well as regular trains from all
points brought in men, women and
children to participate in the Klan's
biggest rally.
As Special Trains.
Forty-five special trains were
chalked up in the stationmaster's
office. each bringing an average OF
400 pilgrims The largest delega-
ton of all was from Pittsburgh
and Reading, Pa; each 900 strong.
Mount Holly, N. j., and other New
Jersey strongholds sent 500. There
were four special trains from Pitts
burgh, three from New York, two
from Wheeling, w. Va; Bristol, Va;
Wilkesbarre, Pa: Huntington, w.
Va; Cincinnati, Clifton Forge, Va;
Jacksonville, Parkersburg, w. Va;
Warren, Pa; Harrisburg, Cleveland,
Youngstown and many other places.
Except in the Mushroom, there
was no crowding or confusion.
Two Catholic nuns wandered un-
noticed in and among the throng.
Several colored men were in the
station waiting for trains.
Policemen Direct Throng
Twenty-one policemen, under
Captain Riley, stood about the sta
ton and had nothing to do except
direct the throngs. The visitors
marched straight through the sta
ton into the street, where leaders
of each delegation gathered the
members together and instructed
them about the city streets and the
parade plans. Each group then
Immediately scattered to places of
interest or marched silently to the
northeast section to wait until
parade time.
Due either to WEAKNESS from the
night train journey or desire to
make a good impression here, there
was no loud talking and little
raised, the incoming members
marched solemnly from the trains
through the iron gates and were
greeted by fellow members with the
same silent symbols.
Klansmen i'm Regalia
Scattered about the station were
two score white-robed Klansmen
shaking hands with District leaders
as they arrived or giving out in
formation. Two information desks
were set up in the promenade for
Klansmen only. These pointedly
refused to talk to outsiders.
The Pennsylvania delegation was
perhaps the largest, most cards and
pennants showing their home State.
Four brass bands, arriving early,
were from Kane, Newport, Carbon
county. and East Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania. The first two wore
white army-cut uniforms with army

KHAN AUTO
lJP5E IS
Three Badly Hurt in Spill on
Rockville Pike on Way to
Parade Here

Two kIansmen were killed and
three seriously injured today,
when the auto in which they were
driving from Cumberland to par
ticipate in this afternoons khan
parade slkidded and turned turtle
on the Rockville pike, two miles
this side of Rockville.
They are:
Clarence Lyons, twenty two,
who was instantly killed.
James II. Frantz, owner and
driver Of the car, who died at
Georgetown University Hospital
three hours after the accident,
as result of a fractured skull
and jaw.
Grant Gordon, George Kickle and
Raskey Robenett were all slightly
injured. The latter two are in
Sandy Spring hospital, but Gordon
refused hospital treatment.
Two Have Narrow Escape
Two other occupants of the cal
miraculously escaped injury They
were d. N. Brant and George Elby.
All of the men lived in Cumber-
land. Md. All of them were in their
twenties except D. N. Biant. a
middle-aged man.
The accident occurred at Halpine,
two miles this side OF Rockville
on the Rockville pike. The road
at the point is straight and fairly
smooth.
Deputy Sheriff Howard, of Mont
gemery county, and Policeman
Windham, Of Rockville, who inves-
tigated the accident, declared that
the car appeared to have skidded
and turned over several times.
Had Clear Road
They say there was apparently
no other traffic on the road at the
time of the accident took place and
the acciden. was due either to some
defect in the car or the driving.
They believe the car must have
been going a little fast when it
skidded and the driver lost control.
Sheriff Howard said all the men
were sober.
