SAVES HIS LIFE

BIZ NEA Seruice
LONDON, Dec. 12.-Vivian Grey,
noted artist, tells how he painted to
save his life from one of the gangs
which are ruling Chicago.
II had been sketching some
buildings one chilly evening"" Grey
says, land I went into a shack to
get a warm drink. Inside was a
crowd of men who thought I was a
detective leading a raid. In a flash
I had my hands up.
II told them I was an English
artist, but they replied by saying
that I wasn't telling the truth and
that they intended shooting me. In
desperation I offered to paint one Of
them.
With a dozen guns still covering
me, I drew a fat gangster sitting in
a corner. That convinced them, and
when I'd finished they gave me a
stiff drink and shook hands"
Grey brought the sketch back to
England with him.

MANEUVER FOR

island Has Slight Edge in
Easy Divorce Statute,
Legal in u. S.

BIZ United Press
HAVANA. Oct. 15.-The annual
American gold rush, tourist va
riety.r which engages Cuba and
Mexico more and more each win
ter. promises now to develop into
a hand-to-hand struggle, with Cuba
having a slight edge becausei t has
trumped Mexico's ace with a new
divorce law.
The Aztec republic, which has
drawn a full share Of tourists and a
horde of the unhappily married be-
cause IL is known as a good place to
undo the Il dos" Of the altar, must
now think up another trick, for
Cuba's divorce statute, now being
broadly discussed, is reputed to offer
a quicker route to freedom than
Mexico.
Legal in America
Add to this the fact that Cuba's
DEGREES are absolutely legal in the
United States, because this island
nation is a signer Of the Pam
American codew hich the United
States recognizes, and it may read
lily be seen Havana IS expected to
cut heavily on an industry that has
been Mexicos almost exclusively.
Mexico, on the other hand, where
several various divorce laws are in
force instead Of one federal law
similar to Cubas new one, has
faced the embarrassment Of hav-
ing a decree bounce back as illegal.
Not SignatOry Nation
The United States is not bound
to recognize Mexican divorces be-
cause Mexico is not a signatory ma
ton Of the Pan-American code.
The possibility that bigamy
charge may follow Mexican de-
crees has tended to bolster Cubas
position,a ttorneys here believe.
Meantime Cuba is not asking for
eigners to establish residence here.
And while Mexico is closer to the
United States than Cuba, she is not
as near the great population center
as Havana, which is but forty-three
hours from New York.

@. KS STREET PLAN
Pass Measure Making Tenth Street
Buffer Between Residential and
Commercial Areas.

The House District committee, in re-
porting measure yesterday by Chair
man Zihlman of Maryland, paved the
way for permitting a land transfer in
the vicinity of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad and Bunker Hill road, designed
to make Tenth street northeast kind
of buffer highway, marking of resi-
dental and commercial sections of that
area.
Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd. director
of public buildings and public parks,
explained today that under the measure,
the United States proposes to trade a
part of its land for an equal amount,
owned by the Charles H Tompkins Co.
This, he said, would mean that the
Federal Government property would be
shifted to adjoin the residential area,
so that the Turkey Thicket playground
recreation and athletic field. between the
3. & 0. Railroad and Bunker Hill road
will be in one plot of ground. At pres
ent, Col. Grant said. part of the Federal
Government property adjoins the B. &
o. Railroad tracks, which is considered
inadvisable.
With the shift in property authorized
Col. Grant explained that Tenth street
will be run through as kind of barrier
between the residential and commercial
areas, with the playground adjoining
the residential section. Col. Grant said
that in preserving the name of Turkey
Thicket playground the National Cap
ital Park and Planning Commission is
perpetuating local name which is used
by the older residents of that area.
