But George Stefens Thought Marriage You'd

this morning, along with his bank
roll of $500. he added.

right" Headquarters detective Keck
told Steffens, but If she forgot and
took the money with her she had a
perfect right to do SO. That's the rub
about marriage-what yours Is
hers
But I was married in Alexandria, y
Steffens came back, triumphantly.
Alexandria not foreign coun-
try" the detective Is reported to have
replied. "Those who get hitched in
Alexandria are just as much married
as those who take their vows else
where.
Steffens' sally into the ranks Of the
benedicts has just been one expense
after another, anyway, he confided to
detectives.
The Incense was SO. had to pay
the hackman IS and then l spent SIS
for her clothing" the chart broken
groom related. And now I've lost my
$500, my wife and the SIS worth of
clothing she had on, to boot"
Steffens said his marriage was more

COOLIDGE GOES SLOW
IN DEFENSE DAY PLAN
Must Be Shown Advisability Of
Combining It With
Armistice Rites.

President Coolidge has reached no
decision on the War Department plan
for establishment of Defense day as
a permanent yearly event to be held
on Armistice day, November II, 1t
was indicated at the White House to-
day. He first wants to study the War
Departments proposal and will want
to be reassured regarding the cost OF
such a demonstration. There is a
question In his mind whether or not
It's expenditures is warranted by the
necessity for a demonstration as is
being proposed by the department
Last year the various States CO
operated with the War Department
in the celebration of Defense day and
shouldered much of the cost, but the
President would want to hear first
from the governors of the States

told the detectives. "She said she
wanted TO marry me, and suggested
Alexandria as suitable place"
He hedged a bit. raising the ques-
ton Of their difference In ages, but on
being assured that that was a small
matter where love and happiness was
at stake, he consented to try the propo-
sition out.
Steffens displayed a marriage license
bearing the name of Miss Catherine
V. Filgates of Richmond as the bride
and having a notation that the cere-
mony was performed by Rev. Frank
A. Killman. pastor of Trinity NJ. E.
Church, Alexandria.
After giving the detectives all the
details about his matrimonial venture
Steffens went back to his room, at 217
y street, to make q more thorough
search for his bride and his bank roll.

whether they will again engage with
the War Department in this under
taking.
Although the President has not
made up his mind about the War De-
partment's plan. a spokesman for him
today said that the President Is now
of a frame Of mind that would cause
him to frown upon the proposition He
is known to favor associating Armi-
stice day solely as day of celebrating
peace and to pay tribute to the Amer
leans who were sacrificed in the World
War. He is understood to doubt very
much the advisability of injecting a
military demonstration throughout the
Nation in connection with national
defense into the solemn observances
which will be held throughout the
land on Armistice day

When you buy baby-chicks. the
following facts are. we believe,
worthy of consideration: No chick
is of cred for sale from this
hatchery except from hens we
have seen and approved, and are
glad to take any buyer for chicks to
see the fox from which the eggs
came. You pick, or approve the
quality before you pay for them.
We have only a small hatchery. it
gets the best attention possible and
you can not buy healthier chickens.
We take ~ days to hatch them.
