Der of other heirs of James c. Kent.

her heirs are entitled to the property,
which Kent neglected to place in her
name.

holy bonds of matrimony.

THE said James G. Kent agrees 20
be an honest, industrious. temperate.
discreet and conscientious husband, and
the said Amelia C. Boynton agrees to
live all these characteristics and to
never scold nor quarrel in the presence
CT strangers.
Both will always be quiet and re-
Spectful to each other, but neither will
demand nor expect any undue affection
Reason and righteousness shall be
the motto of both and each will strive
to promote the health and happiness of
the other, will shield each other from
tobacco smoke and practice the Golden
Rule-To do as we wish to be done by
Attorneys Fred B. Rhodes, Michael

FOR BANK PROTECTION

Many Closings.

BY the Associated Press.
Blaming inadequate" management
and supervision for a large number of
the Nations bank failures, Oscar Wells,
chairman of the First National Bank
of Birmingham, yesterday urged a
closer check on national and State
banks to prevent recurrence of last
years closings.
Wells, a former president Of the
American Bankers Association, was the
first financier from the South to testify
before the Senate Banking Committee
which is inquiring into the need for
new legislation primary TO check the
flow of Federal reserve credit into
speculative channels.
Higher salaried and more experienced
State bank superintendent and ex-
aminerS are needed, he said. to COM
bat mismanagement and inefficiency.
Wells added the controller of the
currency should strive to prevent
failures" among national banks. He
made this statement after Chairman
Glass said the National Bank of Ken
lucky failed despite repeated examina-
lions by the controllers Office.
Wells agreed there had been larger
number of bank failures in the South
than in other sections, but said the
drought and declining cotton prices had
been primary contributing causes.

removed from the church calendar.
Grace Church, in view of its excep-
tionally high standard for marriages
which take place in the parish" he
said, lis definitely unwilling that the
name of the parish should be linked
with the idea of so-called companionate
marriage in any way that confuSes
these positive standards.
1T has been the traditional policy
also of the rector and staff of Grace
Church to avoid publicity of a sensa-
tional kind OF late the Rev. Eliot
White has failed to follow this tradi-
ton"
Mr.. Whites controversy with his SUI
periors is sequel to the recent activity
of Ben Lindsey, advocate of companion

Speakers Committee, Mr. White in
vited Lindsey to address the New York
Churchman'S Association. When Bishop
William T. Manning protested, White
led the members in movement to
override the bishop and Lindsey spoke.
On the following Sunday Bishop
Manning arraigned Lindsey and his
views in a sermon at the Cathedral of

WOMAN DISCOVERED
STRANGLED TO DEATH
Towel Is Bound Tightly Around
Throat of Dancer Apparently
Preparing to Battle.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February l8.-With
towel tightly bound around the throat
the body of Miss Lillian Anderson. "a,
professional toe dancer, was found yes
terday in her apartment. Dr. A. F.
Benson, coroner's physician. said death
was due to strangulation, and the girl
evidently had been dead since last
Saturday, when she was last seen alive.
Police, though unable to state posi-
lively that it was suicide, said they held
to this theory, pointing out that the
apartment showed no signs of disturb
ance. However. they admitted that the
method of self-destruction would be
most difficult to carry out. The body
was in such condition that no marks of
violence could be detected.
Spots found in the throat by DR..
Benson pointed to possible poisoning, he
said, but a definite statement waited
the outcome of an analysis of the
stomach contents.
Miss Anderson. divorced five years ago
from Henry McGreen. whose present To-
cation is unknown, was the mother of
a 7-year-old son, who lives with her
mother, Mrs. Rogna Jahnke.
Evidently Miss Anderson had been
about to battle, as the tub was filled
and water still running fIom faucet.
Her handbag was found floating In the
tub. Since 1t contained no money
robbery and murder was the opinion OF
a few police officials.

broadcast to all policemen and the
bluecoats were on the hunt The second
morning after the theft, member of
the park police spotted the automobile
and recovered it for Dr. Marvin.
Now that was all right, but for some
reason unknown to George Washington's
president, the rest of the policemen
didn't seem to know when theft is
over. Three times policemen stopped

Try This Tonight

What do you do when a sluggish sys-
TEN shows the bowels need help? The
best thing yet discovered for this is
still little candy Cascaret. Take one
tonight if liver and bowels aren't
functioning as they ought. See how
quickly bad breath, coated tongue or
a bilious, headachy condition is
cleared up. No gripping or discomfort
from Cascarets. The quick, pleasant
relief they always bring constipation
sufferers is lasting. For Cascarets are
made from cascara which doctors
say actually strengthens bo1ceI muscles.
So YOU can take Cascarets as often
as needed. 20 million boxes used
yearly proves their merit.
