OLYMPIA, April IT. (P) The shattering of H. U. Clark's pur- posed romance with Mrs. Minnie Ma" Kennedy, mother of Aimee Semple McPherson, Los Angeles Evangelist, was an omen of hap piness rather than despair, the state Supreme Court said.
 The court affirmed a King county judgment dismissing Clark's breach of promise suit.
 Clark, a parson and coworker of Mrs. Kennedy in Evangelical ac- tivities in Seattle prior to the time he instituted his suit, should have been glad to have escaped mar riage under the circumstances, the court said.

Our most recent martyr to tyr

That such an internationally

Surely honest beliefs and the
