NEWEST ''RACKET'' FOR CHICAGO
Old Illinois Statute Allows Decree on Simple Grounds
of Cruelty-No Residence Required.

that she came here November 2 and
that shortly afterward, in the presence
of two witnesses, her husband struck
her.
Yesterday the case was heard, and
Mrs. Hamburger was granted monthly
alimony of $1,000 and custody of a Z
month-old daughter. An hour later she
had checked out of her hotel.
"AS long as the act of cruelty was
committed here, she is legally entitled
to divorce" Judge SABBATH explained.
I'm not saying the law is good one,.
but that Is what 1t is"
"Then two residents Of California
could come here, the husband could slap
his wife to constitute the cruelty, and
that would be all that was necessary for
divorce in Illinois?" Judge SABBATH
was asked.
Technically, yes" he replied. ''Of
course, II colluSion could be proved, that
would be something different"
A catch in the statute was pointed
out by Nicholas A. Socrates, an attor-
ney specializing in divorce law. He said
the Supreme Court had held in q case
involving Massachusetts, man that the
complainant in such a divorce suit must
intend to continue living here after the
decree.

ROME, Ca, November 16.-Deputy
Sheriff o. B. Jarman, whose slow jour-
ney here from Northern Indiana with
a woman prisoner had aroused fears
for his safety, today explained that he
stopped at several points en- route in
an effort to locate two men believed to
have been implicated with Elizabeth
Brooks, alias Honey" Sullivan, in
$4,000 pay roll robbery here.
Jarman and Miss Brooks arrived here
last night by automobile. Sheriff o. L.
Belts said a telegram he had received
from Jarman Wednesday regarding ex-
tradition papers for the woman was
sent the previous day and delayed in
transmission. The fact that the mes
sage reached here the day after the
papers were issued led to the belief
that some one had impersonated jar

Easy Marks

The world is full of easy marks; be-
cause OF them the bruiSer parks his
limousine in Easy street, and has the
finest grub to eat, and raiment that
might deck a king, and high silk hats
and everything. And II he went his
normal way he'd earn perhaps four
bucks day. at lifting weights or roll
ing casks or other punk and painful
tasks. But he discovered, years ago,
that ne could strike a mighty blow, a
gift OF little worth or use, save for the
coin it will produce. And now the man
whom nature meant to sweat like
thunder for a cent draws down q for
tune in night for putting up q fool
ish fight, for making other pugs see
sparkS-because of countless easy
marks. We pay our money out to watch
one fighter makes an ugly botch of
t'other fighters scrambled face. and en-
tertainment coarse and base. We pay up
for such silly larke because we are such
easy marks. The bootleg merchant
wakes fat by selling ruin from his vat.
If he we're at his normal job the people
would behold him swab the cuspidors
In some dark lair, or carry entrails to
a bear. But he sized up the public
thirst and set himself to do his worst;
and now he has his vine and tree and
spends his Summers by the sea, and
goes around in silk attire, with price
less diamonds flashing fire, and seems
q high and princely toff until some
gangster kill him Of. And II he cuts
such loads of ice, 1t Is because we pay
the price; in opulence. this man en-
barks, because we are such easy marks.
Why not reform and cease to waste the

RECORD YEAR SEEN
FOR RADIO SALES
Volume of Sets and Access
SORES Expected to Be Far
Greater Than Last.

Statistics on the sales of radio sets
and accessories for the first quarter of
this year indicate that 1929 will far
surpass last year in sales volume. Also
noted is trend toward lower prices for
receiving sets, induced by heavy demand
and consequent mass production.
Based on reports from about 20 per
cent of the radio in the United States.
the Commerce Department estimates
that the retail volume of business for
the first quarter of this year was $125,-
100000. These dealers reported their
aggregate business for the first three
months of 1929 as $25,540,245. The
survey Is conducted In cooperation with
the radio division of the National Elec-
trical Manufacturers Association.
$165 Average Retail Price.
The average retail price per radio set
was $165, as against $167 per set for
the period of July, August and Septem-
Der OF last year, and Of $158 per set
for the last three months of last year
The 1881 dealers out of the 38,159
queried by the Commerce Department
reported that they sold 139,347 electric
and 1888 battery sets during the first
quarter.
The last quarter of each year has
proved to be the best for. sales of re-
ceiving sets, with an average of 40 per
cent OF the years business transacted
during those three months. The first
quarter ranks next, with about 30 per
cent OF the annual business, and the
second and third quarters contributing
about Is per cent each.
During the fourth quarter of last
year. substantially Influenced BY the
holiday trade. $500 dealers reported a
retail business of $37,975,O15. For the
nrst quarter of 1928, 8,289 dealers re-
ported sales amounting to only $20,5O8,-
500, however.
$3.50 Average Per Dealer.
The average volume of business per
dealer was $3.50 for the initial three
months Of 1929, whereas the CORE
spending figures for the third and
fourth quarters of 1923 were $2,470 and
80 respectively. Sixty per cent of
the total replies, which originated in
the New England, Middle Atlantic and
East North Central States, showed that
81 per cent Of the total business re-
ported for the United States was con-
summated in these areas. =
officials of the Commerce Depart
ment refused to hazard an estimate of
the approximate sales of radio sets in
1873: They indicated, however, that
the figure would be substantially higher
than last year, which the department
estimated at $4,000 900. One of the
leading radio publications made a sur
vey of its own. and estimated the bust
ness at $3.50, 900 900.
The department. however, estimates
that for the radio year." from july,
1928, to July of this year, the receiving
set and accessory business will approxi-
mate $550,000,000. This is on the
basis of reports from dealers for the
last half Of 1928, the new figures for
the first quarter of 1929, and an esti-
mate that the second quarter of 1929
VIII be about the same as that for the
first quarter

MILLIONS SAVED GAR BUYERS
 BY AUTOMOTIVE RESEARCH WORK

DETROIT, Dec. 6.-Automobile buyers of the country are being saved millions of dollars annually in the cost of their cars through research and standardization of parts and practices in the automo- tive industry.
 Through standardization of minor parts and fittings and other fix lures Of the automobile, which in no way affects the originality of de- sign, the Society of Automotiye Engineers estimates that the say ing to buyers is S840, 900, 900 a year.
