JUMP IN LEGAL AGE OF GIRLS
 ENDS MARRYING JUSTICE VAR

GAINESVILLE, Tenn, July 13.- A mountain feud in which the weapons were Holy Bibles and legal certificates to wed has been ended by recent Tennessee law dictating that q years is the legal age for feminine discretion.
 Clarksville for years has been a "Gretna Green" for ardent Ken lucky lovers That state denies a girl the right to marry without parental consent until she is q years old. So the Kentuckians flocked to Clarksville, just across the Tennessee line.
 The feud between marrying mag istrates started last Christmas. Squires J. R. Harper, s. w. Kelly, w. B. Corlew and s. D. Tinsley- Clarksville answers to impatient youth-grew weary of Squire w. H. Deans invasion on their marriage market.
 Squire Dean was a retired rural mail carrier and could play an ad- vantageous open field game with the bridal parties outside the court house, while the other magistrates were kept busy within.
 Retaliation of the city magistrates took the form of notice posted in the county clerks office, which stated they would marry all corners free between the hours of ' am and pm during Christmas time
 Squire Dean countered with the announcement that he would marry all corners at all times free of charge for the remainder of his tenure of office, and the city magis- trates hauled down their placards the next day. The marriage war reached an impasse, and only one couple was able to profit.
 Now comes postwar economic depression, both for the magistrates and the schools of Montgomery county, according to Clerk w. E. Cozier. He explains that Tennes- sees raising of the age girls may be married without parental consent from IS to q years will divert s1 ,oOO to s1,20o in license fees a year from the state.
 But even he seems to be glad the marriage war is over.

Fourth of July this year was cele- brated in a very quiet manner in Berlin, there being no disturbances or arrests outside of some kensing ton youths who were apprehended for ringing church bells. In Berlin there were no disturbances and po- lice on duty Wednesday night were hard put to it 10 keep busy because Of the quietness of the night The hell ir the Berlin Congregational church was not rung, almost the first time ir many years that this method vas not used 10 wake up the town.
 Local doctors reported that only five children were treated for burns, and none of these were serious. The most painfully hurt was treated by Or. A. J. Goodwin of kensington. Gardiner Williams was firing a blank pistol when it exploded in his hand. He was painfrlly injured but the wound was not serious
 Automobile Reduced to Junk

 At about . o'clock yesterday morning car driven by Paul F.. Hoffman of Maiden, Mass, ovcrturn- ed near the Webster farm in Der lin tore tip about 100 feet of state highway fence. and caught fire. The occupants were not injured beyond q few small cuts about the face and hands.
 Hoffman claimed that his car was Sldeswiped and forced off the road by a car that did not stop. lnresti- gation revealed that the Massachu- setts car was going at a fast rate of speed and that no trace of the other car could be seen on the road. The Hoffman machine was reduced 10 a mass of wreckage and was taken to a junk yard nearby. The two couples in the car proceeded by train to their destination.
 Traffic on the pike was heavy but not as heavy as had been expected. Due to the cloudy weather in the morning 1t is thought that many who would have gone out riding, stayed at home. Officers were on duty until late hour last night and stated that the traffic remained quite heavy un- til early today.
