DECLINES TO ANNUL
MARRIAGE OF GIRL, is
Justice Hitz Dismisses Suit Brought
by Mother of Maryland
Bride.

Justice William Hitz of the District
Supreme Court yesterday dismissed q
suit for an annulment of marriage
brought by Margaret Mary Dale, Is
years old, 419 w street, against Thomas
w. Dale, Is years old, 305 Rhode Island
avenue, to whom she was married in
Maryland August 8 last without con-
sent of parents. The suit had been
instituted for the wife by her mother.
Mrs. Annie M. Holohan on the plea
that the marriage was illegal under
the Maryland law.
The husband employed Attorney
Philip w. Austin to oppose the efforts
to annul the marriage.
Austin called the attention of Justice
HitZ to the fact that the Maryland law,
unlike the provisions of the code Of
the District of Columbia, does not in
validate a marriage between minors
without consent of their parents. He
pointed out that the only provisions
Of the Maryland law are that a PEN
atty is imposed on the clerk Of the
court If he should issue a marriage to
persons under age limits set by the law,
and also penalties minister who
should perform such marriages. The
District law says such marriages shall
be invalid, but, 1t is claimed, the Mary
land statutes are silent on the question
of the status of such marriages.

TO LIMIT
CONSCR|PTS FAILS

IL Votes to s.
sv the Associated Press.

GENEVA, November 8.-The Pre-
| paratory Commission on Disarmament
today rejected by IL votes to Ger
man attempt to incorporate the princi-
pie of limitation of the annual con-
tingent of conscripts called to service
into the projected draft disarmament
treaty.
| American and British representatives
on the Preparatory Commission alb
stained from voting. Germany, China,
Russia. Norway, Sweden and Holland
supported the proposed limitation.
France, Italy, Japan and other nations
which rely upon compulsory military
service Joined in defeating the German
move.
With the German proposal out OF the
way. the commission voted its approval
to the principle of limitation OF the
period of service for conscripts, put
into motion form by Lord Cecil OF
Great Britain.
MassigIi Gives French Views.
Rene Massigli, speaking for France,
reaffirmed his governments opposition
to limitation of the annual contingent
called to the colors recalling that this
project had been rejected on the first
reading of the draft convention now
under consideration. Such limitation,
he said would do away with the prin-
ciple of universally of obligations so
much priced by many democratic coun-
| tries.
Herr Rutgers of Holland reported that
| observation of this So-called democratic
| principle would result In all conscript
armies being very large.
The German proposals. submitted by
| Count Won Bernstorff, precipitated re-
newal of the debate which already has
been waged in disarmament circles for
wears as to the status of trained re-
serves in any disarmament or limitation
program.
Sato Speaks for Japan.
| M. Sato voiced the Japanese opposi-
! ton to the German project, comment
| ing that such limitation would meet
complex difficulties in Japan, where, in
the different branches of the service,
conscripts are called up for varying pc
RODS of service.
Lord Cecil said he regretted that Ger
many had raised the question Of linn
iting the total number of conscripts and
that limitation of the total number of
4. men in any army inevitably would limit
| the number of trained reserves.
He suggested that it would be neceS-
sary to agree upon the relative military
value of the conscript and professional
soldier and he agreed with M. Sato
| that the professional soldier, with his
! long period of service, was a better
| fighting man than the conscript.

300-F00T LIMIT Is SET
IN NAVY DIVERS TEST
U. s. School Depth Is Greater Than
Attempted in Any Other Ma
tons Glasses.

The Navy has decided that 300 feet is
about the limit its divers need to go.
The Bureau of Navigation, Navy De-
partment, said today in its bulletin that
large part Of each class at the Deep
Diving School at the Washington Navy
Yard qualities for depths up to 800 feet
"a greater depth than has been at
tempted by any other divers school
These men could go deeper" the
bureau asserts, but there would be little
profit in so doing, since the incum-
brance of the various lines from the
surface hampers activities increasingly
at great depths; and the long time re-
quired for the ascent in order to avoid
caiSson disease reduces the usefulness of
such dives to the vanishing point"
Divers at the Washington Navy Yard
are instructed net only in diving opera
tons and underwater Seamanship, but
also in the use of devices useful in
rescue and salvage work.

ICAN OF PEAS PLACED ON TRIAL
BEFORE JURY OF HOUSEWIVES
Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley Heads Committee
Acting for Secretary Hyde, In Stand
ardizing Market Product.

Eight. women sat around q table in
the Department of Agriculture Building
yesterday, their attitude very scientific
The object of their attention was an
unsuspecting can of peas.
Finally a voice of authority posed
two questions which projected the eight
women into channels of deep thought
If you purchased this article labeled
simply as peas would you be satisfied
with 1t for service at usual meal in
your home?"
IF not, In what respects do you re-
gard this can of peas as unsatisfac-
tory?"
When Mrs Harvey w. Wiley, the
widow of the famous food specialist;
Mrs Albert Baggs, the president of
Housekeepers' Alliance, and their six
associates answer the questions. the
Secretary of Agriculture will study their
concensus and inform the producer of
that can of peas just how he shall ad-
vertise his product.
Standards Of Canned Goods Sought.
Secretary Hyde Is authorized to es-
tablish standards for canned goods I'M
der the Gamers bill of the last Con-
gresS. which requires that canned goods
which enter interstate commerce and
are found to be below the standards
promulgated must be labeled with a
designation clearly setting forth the
fact.
The bill specifically requires that the
standards arrived at be such as to pro
mote honesty and fair dealing in the
interest of the consumer" Secretary
Hyde, considering it necessary to have
the consumers opinion on the quality
of canned goods coming under the law,
called in the group of eight women who

VIENNA, Austria, November 8.-The
bulk of the population of Austria goes
to the polls tomorrow to decide whether
Fascism or Socialism is to rule the
country. or perhaps compromise between
the two.
Today last-minute electioneering is
producing considerable excitement,
Two Issues Prominent.
Two controversial issues prominent at
the last moment lead to fears in some
quarters that the Fascist Heimwehr, If
beaten, may attempt to rule the coun-
try unconstitutionally. One is the after
rnath of this weeks one-sided disarma-
n1ent gesture. Austria has two private
"armies," the Heimwehr of the FaScistS
and the Schutzbund of the Socialists.
They are equally Illegal, but when
Prince Ernest Rudiger Won Starhem-
berg, Heimwehr minister of interior,
with the backing of Chancellor Karl
Vaughn. decided at last to enforce the
disarmament law, he naturally confiS-
Gated only the Schutzbund arms.
The Socialists, UNDERSTANDABLE. are
pretty hot about this
The second issue Is not political, put
Is bound to have electoral repercussions
the continued expansion of Prince
Won Starhemberg's power as minister of
interior 1t is reported that he has
Just appointed a man named Pegus as
1iaison officer to help control the police
The police are technically under for
Hner Chancellor Johann Schober, one of
Prince Won Starhemberg's political enc
mics. Herr Pegus is a German, was q
member of Gen. Ludendorff's staff, took
part in the Hitler putsch, and is said
to be a character much under the in
fiuence of German extremists.
A hook-up between the Fascism OF
Germany, Italy, Austria, and perhaps
Hungary, too, is fairly clearly fore
Swallowed if the Heimwehr wins.
Further BaIlOting in Sight.
Unluckily for poor Austria, tomor-
rows election is only the beginning OF
the vote contest, because by the terms
of the new constitution the country
will have to go to the polls again with
in 10 weeks to elect a new federal
President If in the first presidential
election no candidate gets an abso-
lutte majority, then there will have to

chief of the food and drug administra-
, ton, announced that the opinion OF
housewives and other consumers will
be sought as the products are studied
Opinion from the food industries, from
well known food experts and from the
administrations officials will be CON-
bined with the consumers ideas III
drawing up final standards.
Since the food and drugs act was
passed, glazing abuses in the manu-
facture of canned food products have
become rare "Border-line" cases
among canned foods still exist, how
ever, and while these are not definitely
illegal they represent, according to the
food administration, degree OF in
feriority of the foods, emitting the buy
err to full knowledge of their quality
before money is invested.
THE purpose of the Gamers bill, !"
DR.. Dunbar explained, lis to authorize
the formulation of such legal standards
as will insure a product sold to be of
at least a standard degree of excellence,
while an article which has reached such
a degree of inferiority as to offend the
purchaser, even though that article be
perfectly wholesome and nutritious,
will be definitely labeled to show that it
is substandard. and therefore will not
be bought at the ordinary price.
Duty to Consumer Stressed.
"If the consumer has the money to
buy standard g ade article, she should
be in a position TO do SO with full
knowledge Of the character of the
product purchased. But II her means
will not afford a product of that excel
lence, it should be possible for her,
under the operation of the Gamers bill,
to blly a product which while not 81
desirable, will nevertheless be pure and
wholesome and carry definite declara-
ton of its substandard quality"
While this is being done care will be
taken that the designation required of
the producer shall not be such a stig-
matizing character as to convey the
impression that the product is unfit for
food. DR.. Dunbar pointed out that
the Gamers bill does not legalize the
distribution of adulterated or mis-
branded canned foods
