CHICAGO, December 25.-Pathos
and quivering lips, sad-eyed humor and
sentiment that held over the years, all
crept appeallngly into the Christmas
eve session OF Judge Joseph Sabath's
Divorce Court.
First of all. IL occupants of the
county jail's alimony row were given
their freedom.
One of them. Silas Dillenbeck, owed
his first wife, Martha. $1,000 in back
alimony. He was penniless, but will
ing-even eager-to work.
Have you money to get home?" the
court asked.
The pathetic figure hung his head
there was no answer. The judge reach
ed for his pOcketbook, but woman,
unnoticed before, came quickly to the
mans side.
She pressed a SIS bill into a grimy
hand. 1t was Martha, the first wife.
Another, William Deritz, protested his
release because he would have no
Christmas dinner His wife, to whom
he owed $500 or so, was in court.
will you prepare the dinner?" Judge
SABBATH asked of her.
II wish I could; but there is no food
in the house, But crisp SIS bill as
sure the couple there would be.
Another couple-the man just freed
from alimony row-faced the court.
you had better forget your differ
enceS," the jurist pleaded. The couple
left the court room arm in arm, crying.
Christmas time in a divorce court!

CHICKENS COME
HOME TO ROOST
Words Senator Used to
ASSaiI Hoover Hurled
Back in His Face.
BY RAY TUCKER.
United Press stan Correspondent


WASHINGTON, May THE
embarrassment predicted for SEN
ator Watson Of Indiana because
OF his opposition to President Hoo
YER in the primary has materialized.
Democratic senators, like Robinson
and Caraway of Arkansas refuse to
let Watson forget some Of the harsh
things he said about Hoover during
the Indiana presidential primary,
which Watson Won CaraWay has
threatened to insert IN the Con-
gressionaI Record an anu-Hoover
address delivered by Watson at
Kansas City during the G. O. P.
convention.
Some of Watson's Republican
colleagues, particularly Borah of
Idaho and Norris Of Nebraska, seem
to enjoy his predicamcnt During
several interchangcs in which Wat
son defended his past and present
position. Borah stock in the center
aisle grinning broadly,
Watson Is Annoyed
Though Watson accepted the
ioshing good-naturedly at first it
is beginning to annoy him. During
several recent debates he refused to
yield to the men who arose to bait
him. Shaking his shaggy name,
pounding his palms and lifting his
coat-tails. the senator denied there
was any inconsistency in his posi-
ton
L said several things about the
present President OF the United
States" retorted Watson. Il admit
I wasn't for him. l wanted the
nomina ton myself I had the dis
position, and all I lacked was the
votes
Looking around the senate, Wat
son launched into a culogy of Hoo
yer. and caused more chucklcs and
smiles with the assertion that he
did not know Herbert Hoover when
he was a candidate for President.
Watson denied he had delivered
bitter attacks on his present party
leader,
Careful in Statements
Il always am very careful what
I say Of Republican candidates" nc
explained, because ! might have
to support them. And I can say
this-there was nothing Of a per-
sonaI character in my remarks
about Hoover. There was nothing
for which I must apologize now or
at any other time
Though nc had voted for the
MCNary- Haugcn bill and eQualiza-
ton fee last year, Watson explained,
he had good reason for opposing
such proposals as the fec and dc
benture now. Since consideration
of the old bill he said, we have
had a convention, campaign, state
mentS by our President when he
was a Candidate-and an election"
AS a practical legislator Wat
son concluded, he felt it Was use
less to propose schemes which we're
not favored at the polls-or at the
White House.

Plans for the manufacture Of
automobile license plates and road
signs at the Indiana state prison

First state-madc plates will be
