MARRIAGE PACT
ON ROCKS

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 10
Washington, D. c. marital rules
have yet to win recognition In
Ohio. This much David r, Levitt.
salesman, learned yesterday in COM
mon pleas court here, when he was
refused a divorce on the ground
that his wife had not observed the
rules he laid down when he married
her in the Capital about six months
ago.
I'VE aren't living in days Of
feudalism," Judge Samuel Silbert
informed Levitt Il don't blame
your wife for leaving you. You
don't deserve a divorce"
Levitt laid down the following
rules. which Mrs. Levitt observed
for six months, then decided 10
violate by returning to -4er parents:
When he arrived home in the
evening his wife must be there
with dinner ready to serve imme.
Cliately. The wife must only visit
her parents when Levitt granted
permission.
In visiting her husbands store on
Il Street Northwest, in Washing
ton, Mrs. Levitt must walk around
the block to avoid passing the store
of her father, which was in the
same block as that of her husband.
Mrs. Levitt appeared in court.

WEATHER RADIO
'UNSC|ENT|F|C'

Out of the intermittent flare-up
of controversy over long-ranse wea-
Their forecasting, and shafts or
criticism and rfdicuIe hurled at
the Weather Bureau by Walter
Janvrin Browne, comes today an
announcement by c. F. Marvin,
chief of the bureau, that long-range
forecasting will be employed as soon
as it can be put on a scientific
basis.
For a long time, said formal
statement issued by Marvin, the
Weather Bureau and other sci
entific agencies have been study
ing the possibilities of long-range
forecasting."
The new method will be employed,
it was said, when it is based on
something other than a foundation
of mere guess work"
Up to the present time, Marvin,
supported by his entire staff, says,
mo practical methods have been
devised and so-called forecasts OF
this character are no better than
mere guess"
The Marvin statement consumes
four and a half typewriter pages
of legal size, and is devoted largely
to a defense of the Weather Blu
reau's system of forecasting
severely criticised by Brown in re-
cent months.

officials have concurred in a re-
commentator that the 26Oth Coast
Artillery be sent to it's annual en-
campment at Fort Monroe, Va,
from July &c to August II.
Local guardsrnen had originally
recommended the outfit go to field
training from August IL to 26, but
the Pennsylvania national guards
men will not be at Fort Monroe
during this period, and therefore
the local men will train earlier.
Four entries have been certified

the gallery matches of the current
year. Three company teams from
the local units have been certi-
fled; Headquarters and Service
