ASKSDIVORCE
Says Woman Filler Pre-
ferred Career To
Life at Home

BALBOA, Canal Zone. Sept. 7.-RD
Lyle Womack hopes to obtain an
interlocutory decree Of divorce in De-
cember from Ruth Elder. VINO "chose
a career rather than be . housewife"
Her failure to kiss him upon her
return to New York after almost
flying Gcros the Atlantic is cited ia
his petition for divorce as d cause OF
much embarrassment. He charges
that at that time she said to him il
an undertone:
"Don't be a fool"
Cruelty is charged in the petition
and Womack understands his suit
will not be contested. Although an
~interlocutory decree may be obtained
in December under the laws a full
divorce can not be granted before
next June.
Womack's petition says his weight
has been reduced, efficiency for work
lessened, and health and reason en-
dangered. He charges his wife's
transatlantic flight attempt caused
him many ~sleeplcss nights. In a
statement after the petition was filed
he said:
II would be delighted If she would
return to me- But begged her many
times and she always refused. Moth
ing would have delighted me more
than 20 love her dearly but now ! see
there is nothing else TO be done than
that which l am doing.
Ruth chose a career rather than
10 be a housewife. and l have no
other course"
HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Sapt. 7.-(P)
Ruth Elder will not contest the
divorce action filed against her in
Balboa BY Lyle Womack.
IF ne wants a divorce there must
be a good reason she said in an
nocrcirg she would not oppose his
move.

charge az neglect Of her home assert
ed hc had provided no home. He ex-
pressed surprise that her husband
hal not informed her previous to
taking action against her.

Police Judge
Is Lenient

Harry Hiatt, 80, of Santa Barbara
entered a plea of guilty to a charge
of petty larceny when arraigned be-
fore Judge Perkins in city court
yesterday afternoon. But Hiatt told
the judge that he had stolen only
a loaf of bread from parked auto
mobile because he was hungry and
the judge proved lenient. He SEN
fenced Hiatt to one day in the coun-
ty Jail, then suspended sentence.
Carl North, 80, of FL Centre, who
was picked up by city police over
the weekend on charge of begging
also managed to talk his way to
freedom after entering a plea OF
guilty. North agreed to get out of
town Immediately if the judge would
give him opportunity and the judge
suspended sentence on n sentence of
$25 fine or 25 days in the county
Jail with the provision that North
leave town.
Tim Mitchell, A, colorcd, of Ell

Automobile Thief
Attempts Suicide

Arrested in Brawlev for the allcg
ed theft of an automobile belonging
to Edith Hedrick of FL Centre, Jesus
Zuniga. 80, of Brawlcy is said by
police to have attempted to end his
own life in the Brawley Jail soon
after his capture.
According to report made by
Captain Cromer, who returned the
defendant here from Brawlcv ycstcr-
day afternoon, Zuniga tied his hands
behind and tied his belt to the bars
of the cell after looping it around
lis neck. The fact that the belt
broke, Cromer believes, alone saved
his life. Police are still puzzled over
the manner in which the man manag-
cd to tie his own hands behind his
back. The belt was still cutting off
his breath as he lay in the cell when
officers discovered his plight.
Zuniga as been turned over to
county authorities, charge of
grand theft having been placed
against him.
The car was still in good condition
when recovered. The license plates
had been changed and one tire was
missing. 1t was taken last Thursday
night from parking place in front
Of the III Centre library.

TRUCKS AND DRIVERS

1t is hard to refrain from expressing something of
thanks learning that truck driver has been
viced in the court of Imperial county, on manslaugh
ter charge.
There is nothing personal against the defendant in
TINS statement. He has our sympathy does any
who violates the law and is to be punished for it.
But the public has been forced to stand for great
deal at the hands of truck drivers using highways.
With machines too big to be damaged much in of
collision and capable of developing speed equal to,
and in some cases greater than smaller cars, some
truck drivers do not hesitate to claim might is right
when they on the highway.
1t so happens that main highways to the west,
north and east are unusually narrow. When of
the larger trucks using the road the space allowed
the ordinary motorist in passing them is small
to make it dangerous. When the truck is hauling
trailer, the danger is doubled. And when the truck
is speeding, it requires mighty nervy driver to at
tempt to pass it.
We would not condemn all truck drivers We
know many of them law-abding as any motor
ist. few of them know by personal experience,
to be the salt of the earth real knights of the high
way ready at all times to concede point the litte
fellow"
Our anmosity is directed at the ''here come get
out of my way" driver. When he is caught violating
the law he deserves all he get in the way of punish
ment. When his violation has sacrificed human life
he is as much murderer the criminal who
knife 1t is to be hoped that the conviction
and punishment in the present instance will have the
desired effect upon this class of driver.
