BAND LEADER TO
 BE MARRIED FOR
 THE FOURTH TIME

Denver, Colo. Aug 18-UP)- Paul Whiteman, orchestra leader who once said marriage was for the middle class" came back home o-day to the city where he first studied music to embark on his fourth matrimonial venture.
 An orchestra that flew here last night from Chicago will play the wedding march.
 The man who made jazz music popular planned to exchange VOWS late to-day with Margaret Living stone, red haired motion picture actress, at the home of his parents in Morrison, a western village in Bear Creek Canyon, gateway to the Rockies.
 Whiteman was divorced last April from Wanda Hoff, a stage dancer, his third wife. Miss Living stones name was mentioned then in connection with his. but White man declared he was through with marriage. The artistic temperament he averred, was unequal to the strain of married life. Then he made his pronouncement that mar riage was for the middle classes.
 The pair came to Denver from Chicago where Whiteman's or chestra is playing a long engage ment.
 Their courtship. friends said, started when Whiteman was mak- ing a picture in California. He was seen with the actress fre- quently during his stay on the coast, and sent her many roses.
 It was understood Miss Living stone will abandon her own career and devote her time to making q home for the band leader.
 Whiteman's father. a music in- structor in the Denver schools, taught his son to play the violin.
 Paul later went to San Francis co. and eked out an existence by driving 4 taxicab. He still retains his cab drivers license.
 At that time Art Hickman and other music leaders were directing bands which utilized cOw-bells, steamboat whistles and other weird devices.
 Whiteman. intrigued, became convinced that there was more to jazz than just a noise. He attacked the problem from the angle of rhythm, formed an orchestra, played n few engagements, and new era in American music had dawned.
 The bandmaster will march up the aisle to the tune of "The We'd ding March" a 1881 syncopation, played by George Olson's nation ally famous orchestra. Olsen and l7 members of his band flew to Denver last night to be in time for the wedding.

Elimination of Gravel Road
Fund Is His Latest
Relief Advice.

Cut wages and curtal public
work.
That is the advice John Norman
Knox, wealthy and retired, offers
Governor Harry G. Leslie for SOW
ing the tax problem.
Both policies are exactly opposite
to the stand taken by President
Hoover and advocated as a ma
tional policy during the depression.
Last week Norman, who is an
Indiana prison trustee, introduced
a resolution to cut wages at the
prison, and urged that the plan be
extended throughout the state gov
eminent.
Now he wants the county gravel
road fund eliminated, which would
require that whatever county road
work is done be financed from the
county's share of the state gaso-
line tax.
A bill with that provision was
Overwhelmingly rejected by the 1881
legislature.
Norman says he is going to elm
mate the 21-cent gravel road levy in
Starke county, where he lives, or
take the matter to the state tax
board. He urges others to do like
wise.
This policy has approval of the
Indiana Taxpayers Association.
