COUNTY CLERK
WILL dine ON
BURR0'S EARS

Ears of purro ought to make
quite a palatable dish, and from
reports heard today, County Clerk
Cal Mousseau should be able to
pass expert judgment on them very
shortly. Cal ordered burro's ears
for dish and he Is going to get
them.
Here's the tale. Attorney Ernest
R. Utley left for Arizona on a COM
bined business and pleasure trip 10
days ago. Before leaving his abil-
ity as hunter was placed at some
thing less than nil by the county
clerk who asserted in the presence
of witnesses that the former dis
trict attorney could not hit burro
at 10 PAGES.
Going a step further he offered
to eat the ears Of any burro Utley
could kill. Then Cal forget about
it, but Utley did not. On his trip
he took shot at wild burro,
killed it, cut off the ears, brought
them back, and is going to make
the county clerk live up to his
words.
Utley also brought back a wild
turkey, which fell to his gun and
some buffalo meat, which he con-
fesses he bought. The latter he
fed to his partner, Lee Nuffer, with
out divulging the reason for the
diet.
But he sticks to his determination
that Cal is going to eat the burro

KERCH, Crimea, Sept. 26. (P)-The ruins of the Kerch, the site of the an- cient Greek Panticapeum, often called the Russian Pompei and Herculane- um," are raipdly decaying, and the Black Sea is gradually undermining the remnants of ancient Greek and Roman towers and walls.
 Tn the fourth and fifth centuries be- fore Christ, the city was flourishing trading center, the envy of northern barbarians and greedy merchants from Italy, Asia Minor and even Egypt. The city was seized in turn by Mithradates and Barbarians before succumbing completely to Rome. In the fifteenth century it became the prey of Turks and since has fallen into decay.

SECRET WEDDINGS FOR
COMMON-LAW COUPLES

PARIS, April (P)-Secret weddings
for what Americans know as common
law households have been legalized
by parliament. The government prose-
cutor can authorize the abolition or
the publicity and formalities that
keep many from marrying.
Unmarried fathers and mothers OF
children often fear to reveal the
truth by wedding years after the
birth of their children. Frequently
couples supposed to be married have
no children because they do not wish
them to be illegitimate, and they
shun the publicity of a long delayed
marriage,
Under the new order of things
these couples can regularize fheir
relations without letting the neign-
borhood into the secret.
Feminists seek further reforms.
They want the protection of the
woman and children in an unmarried
househSld In common law asso-
citation that has lasted for many
wears damages and insurance for the
death of the husband" have been

occurs in the distribution of the
family property as the unmarried
woman, although known as the wife,
has no standing in court.
