WHAT IS A PICTURE BRIDE7

A pieture bride Is bride whom the
bridegroom has not seen until the
marriage. She has been selected by
her picture alone. The term IS asso-
ciated with a former practice among
the japanese and Chinese OF theuni-
ted States. Because Of the compare
tive scarcity Of Oriental women from
whom the JAPANESE aud Chinese could
choose wives, those who desired 10
marry received from their native land
a collection Of photographs Of mar
riageable women. From these they
would make selections and the wont
an of mans choice would be sent
TO this country as his bride The prac
tiee was stopped when the present
immigration laws came into effect.
Formerly long lines Of men waited
at the wharves for the arrival Of their
picture brides from the Orient.

CHICAGO, March 2.-William
McAndrew, suspended superin-

at Mayor William Hale Thompson
today with a libel suit asking $780,
900 damages.
Praecipe in the suit was filed by
Francis x. Busch, attorney for Nc
Andrew, in Superior Court.
McAndrew's dispute with the
board of education, led to his five
month trial on charges of I'M

We'll give an honest court and
an honest jury a chance to decide
whether a man who has done his
duty can be DETAINED by a demagogic
politician" Busch said.
The honest court and honest
jury" reference was interpreted as
slap at the board of education,
which sat as a court to hear the
characterization ctsrees against
McAndrew. Attorneys for the
suspended superintendent walked
out of the hearing room after all
the evidence was in, contending
that the personnel Of the school
board made a verdict against Nc
