Girl, Ia, Gets Permission
To Marry From Court

WEST CHESTER, Pa. Nov. IL
Before she could receive a license
to marry Russell Dilugi, aged 20,
Of Downingtown. Mary Cozzone,
aged IA. was compelled to petition
the Chester County Court for per.
mission. Dilugi and his youthful
bride.to-be were refused a license
when they appeared at the Court
house, although parents OF both
the youth and the girl had given
their consent for the nuptials. The
clerk at the Marriage License Bur.
eau pointed out to them that under
the provisions of a new act of
Assembly which went into effect
last October no person under the
age of 16 can marry without the
consent of the court.
Judge Windle acted favorably
upon the girls petition when her
father declared he consented to the
prospective marriage. The nuptials
were to be performed later.

|DRT FORCES To
FACE TEST
By ROBERT s. THORNBURGH

By ROBERT ,. THORNBURGH
Another final and "acid test" for
Federal enforcement was announced
today at the Treasury Department.
Despite the fact that the re-.
organization law has been effective
since last April, the new set.up
cannot be put in effect until early
next year. It was designed by Gen.
Lincoln C. Andrews before he quit.
Meantime, hampered by uncer.
certainty, the dry army Is marking
time, awaiting the day when 1t may
be given "a real and honest trial."
Congress will be asked for $13,.
100000 to enforce prohibition in the
1929 budget. No increase over this
figure will be demanded by the
Treasury until the Dry Bureau de.
termines whether or not the present
g forcement system Is effective.
An unprecedented rush for prohi.
bition jobs has made It impossible
for the Civil Service Commission to
complet examinations and certify
lists of eligibles to the Treasury.
There are 10 applicants for every
one OF the $500 jobs In the dry
army, despite the low salary range
Of from $1,000 to $4,000 annually.

His bitter political foe, Adolfo de
La Huerta, former president OF
Mexico, gazes out OF the window
of a vine covered bungalow in
Hollywood and with clenched fist
swears vengeance on the "assas-
SINS" who murdered" his brother.
The third person whose happi-
ness has been swept away by the
maelstrom of the revolution is a
woman.
Sonora Maria Tapia de obregon'
wife of the former Mexican presl-
dent and mother of six children,
besides her anxiety for her hus-
bands safety in their country's
crisis, is stricken with grief over
the death of a cousin at the hands
of a firing squad.
Revolution in Old Mexico Is no
respecter of family ties.
The cousin, whose death Is being
mourned by Sonora Obregon. was
Gen. Francisco Serrano, whose
bosom friendship for her husband
was severed when he broke with
the Gales regime, and cast his lot
with other leaders of the reVolu-
tionary movement.
StOrk Amid Tragedy
The stork also is lowering over
the red brick home in the little
Mexican border town of Nogales,
Sonora. where Sonora Obregon had
been rejoined by her husband who
arrived from the Mexican capital
to be with his family.
The windows Of that home look
out on the sunny plaza where last
week the bullet.torn body of AL
fonso de La Huerta lay slumped
against an umbrella tree with a
crudely printed placard across it's
breast reading Another rebel gen.
eral."
once, at least, Alfonso de La
Huerta and her husband, Gen. OBJ
RECON, had been friends.
Gales Sorrow First
President Gales was the first to
feel the weight of sorrows hand
when his wife. Sonora Natalia Cal
les, died in Los Angeles Hospital,
at a time when his administration
was beginning to be harassed by
whispers of disorders and growing
unrest throughout the Republic.
Prevented by his duties and by
Mexican custom, President Gales
was unable to come to the bedside
of his dying wife and was forced
to suffer in silence and alone.

Gales was stricken here and was
forced to undergo a major opera

Boys Blow Dealt in Fun
Kills Younger Brother

NEW YORK. Oct. II. - Joseph
Wimmbauer. Is years old, who the
fates cast in the role Of helper in
a florist shop, but whose great
ambition was to become prize
fighter, started skylarking with his
older brother, John, after they
had partaken of a birthday feast
in the home Of their uncle, Adam
REM.
Joseph undertook to show hts
brother, who is an iron worker,
how fast he was, and lifted John
above his head. They wrestled
around for a few minutes, and
John punched Joseph in the stom-
ach. Joseph fell over unconscious,
and was dead when an ambulance
surgeon arrived from Fordham

This is shown by correspondence

ton, the president did not see the
face of his wife until her body was
borne back on a funeral train to
the gray castle of Chapultepec.
The grief Of Adolfo de La Huerta
over the death Of his brother is
tinctured with savage bitterness.
Murder" is the term he applies
to the killing in battle of his
kinsman.
That murder" he swears will be
avenged. He has announced his
open alliance with General Arnulfo
r. Gomez, leader of the Mexican
Revolutionary forces, and is known
to be making plans to give aid to
every attempt to overthrow Gales
and Oregon.

For valentine week Keith's has ar
ranged an entertaining program, en-
bracing all sorts of vaudeville, from
high-class singing to an exhibition at
pocket billiards. The well known
dancers. Cortez and Peggy, occupy
the headline position, and put on an
act pleasing to lovers of terpsichore.
Both go through their work with a
graceful confidence. In addition
they have the musical background of
Carlos Cobian's Argentine Orchestra,
which had little trouble scoring a hit.

popular songs in a manner to stamp
him as one of vadueville's best sing

earned him several recalls.
Fred Berrens, the noted violinist,
has a high-class act, entitled, "a Mod

recording piano is used effectively,
while Marion Lane helps out with
clever toe dancing. Mr.. Berrens
plays the violin with piano accom-

The Arena Brothers start things
rolling with a clever tumbling act,
bounding canine sharing honors with

well after they get under way. Their
dancing and singing received rounds
of applause. Beatrice HEREFORD, bat

NATIONAI-"Beau Geste."

The Beau Geste" that Hollywood
sent to the National Theater last
night is hardly the same tragically
realistic Beau Geste" that Maj. +. G..
Wren gave the world in his novel
about an incident in the life Of the
romatic French Foreign Legion. The
screen Interpretation lacks some of
the authenticity with which Maj.
Wren, himself a veteran Of the famous
legion, surrounded his narrowing
story Of tragedy in the white heat of
the Sahara Desert The Beau Geste"
of the studios must be classed as n
good motion picture. Three or four
productions of the last year could be
mentioned as its equal.
Beau Geste" begins at the end,
presents the mystery, and then goes
back to the beginning to solve 1t, fol-
lowing Maj. Wren's story closely in
this instance. 1t opens squarely upon
n battalion of the Foreign Legion
grouped around q desert fort where
dead men stand guard at the portals.
Every embrasure shows the face Of
a soldier, rifle in hand-and every
man is dead.
A volunteer, a bugler, scales the
walls of the sepulchral stronghold.
disappears behind it's battlements, and
is never seen by his fellow legion
naires again. The stunned battalion,
halted by coTpnralS guard ~
corpses, is ordered to encamp in the
oasis overnight and take the tort IN

goes up in smoke and fame, a result
of the work of mysterious 1ncen-

To find the solution, the story goes

tate in England where the brothers

John--are being raised by their aunt,
Lady Brandon. Here the romance be-
gins. But it is the story Of three
brothers whose love for one another
IS stronger even than death. The love
of one for a girl is but an incident.
