ed to have been due to disagreement

Applications May
Still be Accepted

Madison, Wis. .gAF - Applica-
tions of chiropractors and others who
treat the sick for registration under
the previous practice" provision of
the new basic science law may still
be accepted, Attorney General Her
man L. Ekern ruled today.
The law passed by the last legisla-
ture requires persons who treat the
sick TO be examined and registered in
basic sciences. Any person who on
Feb. /, 1925, was licensed in Wiscon-
sin to treat the sick was not required
to be registered under the basic
science law. The law further provid-
ed that any person who on that date
was lawfully engaged in treating the
sick without license should be reg
istered upon presenting an applica-
ton to the basic science board with
in so days after the law went into
effect, which was June IS, 1925.
The 60-day limit for registration
under the previous practice" exemp-
tion is directory merely and the state
board of examiners may, in their dis
erection, accept applications after the
expiration of the go days, Attorney
General Ekern advised Prof. M. F.
Guyer, secretary of the board. The
question arose when it was found
that chiropractors of the state had
not been advised of the provision and
had failed in many instances to pre-
sent their application within the
specified time.

the oil companies giving special price
to taxicabs or to any other class of

given they shall be posted so that the
ordinary car owner may know how
the oil company deals with his trade.

prices were posted at the station and
upon inquiry the station attendant de-
MED that special prices were given
to anyone"

SECOND DIVORCE
FROM SAME MAN
Mrs. Marie Bentz Files
Suit for Divorce for
Second Time Here.
FIRST WAS SET ASIDE

Married, divorced, married and now
a divorce again.
That's the rite through which Mrs.
Marie Bentz and William Bentz are
about to go in the circuit court here.
A divorce suit has been filed by Mrs.
Bentz for the second time against Mr..
Bentz. And this time it is demanded
that the suit "stick." And to make
it appear as though both mean bust
ness this time, Mr.. Bentz has filed an
answer and counterclaim on his own
behalf.
The two were married at Chicago on
May Is, 1919, and have one child, age
five. A divorce was granted to Mrs.
Bentz in Judge Belden's court on
April 8, 1924, and the bonds of matri-
mony were. severed as far as The two
were cdncWned. .t
But Changed Their Minds.
A short time later reconciliation
was effected, and both parties set
about to see if they could not begin
life anew. They appeaed to Judge
Belden to set aside the divorce he
granted them and this was done on
March 80, 1925, on the promise Of both
parties to go to the full route this
time.
But the complaint filed by Mrs.
Bentz in the court today charges that
Mr.. Bentz failed to keep his part of
the promise when the reconciliation
was made. She mentions specifically
that on June 20, 1925, he beat her UNI
mercifully. And so the divorce as
sought again as means to bring peace
to both parties again. Mrs. Bentz asks
that she be given custody of the child,
together with suitable alimony.
Husband Names Another Man.
The husband in his counterclaim
denies the allegations made by Mrs.
Bentz and makes sensational charges
against her on the basis of which he
himself is seeking divorce, and he
asks that the court dismiss her COM
life anew. They appealed to Judge
own grounds.
Mr.. Bentz names another man in
whose association he alleges in his
complaint Mrs. Bentz was often found.
The husband further declares that
he believes that his wife is not the
proper person to take the child and he
seeks custody of the fve-year-old
child himself.

Levitan Gives
Advice to Fathers

AppleAca. Wis. - Under.
standing of each other is needed to
make pals OF father and son, Solomon
Levitan, state treasurer, said in an
address at banquet at the Emmanuel
Evangelical church here.
He advised fathers to keep young
with their boys and boys to "pIay
fair with their dads and take them
into their confidence"
"Too often,'' said Mr.. Levitan, "some
are afraid of their fathers, or look
upon them with suspicion and dis
trust-think them old fogies, entirely
out of line with the new generation
Fathers, on the other hand, just as
often fail to understand their boys
and think them hopeless young
scamps, full of a lot of newfangled
notions that are no good at ALL
Chances are that if either could
read the others heart, he would find
there longing for real companion
ship ready to break through the bar
riers if given half chance"

Files $500 Claim
Against the County
Blames Muddy Shoulder for Accident
Which Took Place on the Bur-
hngton Road Recently.

A claim for $500 damages was pre-
scented to County Clerk Iva M. Russell
this morning by 1. Tobachnick, who
claims that an auto accident in which
he was injured was caused by the fact
that the shoulder of the highway was
not in good condition. The accident
happend on the night of November
oath, according to the complaint, which
alleges that the truck which Tobach-
nick was driving, after having temper
arily left the pavement to make room
for a passing car, sunk in "the ex-
tremely narrow and moist shoulder of
the road and turned over. The acct
dent happened, according to the COM
plant, on the Burlington road about
200 feet east of the North Shore tracks
opposite the soft drink parlor known
as Farmer Joe's Place.
County Clerk Iva Russell referred
the claim to the district attorney, who
in turn referred it to the highway
commissioner for investigation.
A question has arisen as to whether,
if there is any liability at all, the
county or city would be liable. The
property on the south side of the Bur-
lington road at this point is within the
city limits while that on the north is
in the town of Somers.
Tobachnick sets forth that his in
juries kept him at his home for fifteen
days, forcing him to employ others to
do his work. He also asks for COM
pensation for damage to his truck.
