ANNULMENT GRANTED
FRANK VAN DALSUM
Holds Wife Had Husband Living
and Not Divorced at Time of
Rockville Wedding.

Justice Oscar H. Luhring in Equity
Court yesterday awarded Frank C. A
Van Dalsum, 1920 California street. an
interlocutory order annulling his mar
riage of october "a. 1925. at Rock
vile, Md. to Dorothy Stark Drum,
upon the ground that at the time of
the ceremony with Van Dalsum she
had a living husband from whom she
was not divorced.
Van DalSum had sued to annul the
marriage after learning that his wife
had never divorced Kenneth L. Drum.
to whom she was married at Decatur,
Ill, in 1923. Drum subsequently di-
vorced her, 1t was disclosed, but the
divorce did not take place until June
/, 1926, eight months after her mar
riage to Van Dalsum. The husband de-
clared he had no knowledge of the
matrimonial impeachment at the time
he married, nor did he know of it un-
til after his wife left HIN. August 25,
1927. The couple had no children.

ASTRONOMER FINDS
OZARK STAR FIELDS.
Black Spots in Milky Way
Not Empty Holes, Scien-
tist Declares.

BY the Associated Press.
MOUNT HAMILTON. Calf. August
3.-Dr. Robert J. Trumpler, Lick OBJ
servatory astronomer, has found evi-
dence that the black spots in the
Milky Way are not empty holes be-
tween star clusters, but are masses of
tiny particles and possibly dark
meteoric bodies.
Using as an example a photograph
made of the Sagittarius area, he said !:
In this star field SO denSely studded
witt minute stars that there is hardly
any space left between the Photographic
star images. we come suddenly upon a
dark spot, where faint stars are al
most entirely missing.
Idea Improbable.
"A real vacancy Of stars could only
appear as such if it extended all

10000 to 10000 years for light to pass
from one end to the other, and this
tunnel would have to be pointed cX-

Since there are hundreds of such
dark nebulae," he said, the tunnel
idea seems extremely improbable.
The physical laws of interaction
between matter and light, DR.. Trump

most effective in ohscuring passage of

solid particles.
This suggests that the dark nebulae
which often appear quite opaque, are
largely made up of fine coSmic dust,
with which free atoms and electrons,
and perhaps larger meteoric bodies may
also be mixed.

"Not only DO we find dark matter OF
wide distribution in our own galaxy;
its presence is even more noticeable
in many of those other distant stellar

Recreation Room
Gains in Favor

r a pidly the recreation
room, in these days of home
entertaining, is becoming the
heart Of the home during fall
and winter. Any room in
which much time is spent and
enjoyment had, should have
good furnishings in keeping
with the purpose of the room.
Informality holds sway, of
course, in the recreation
roOm-conviviality, too. Ger
tainly a room so important to
the home and shown to so
many friends should not con-
tain caSt-off furniture from
upstairs, as is the case in so
many recreation rooms. A
plentiful supply of game
boards, chairs, tables and
comfortable sofa and lounge
chairs should be included in
the furnishings Of the recrea-
tion room. The recreation
room is like an extra living
room where the formality of
the living room does not pre-
vail. TO achieve one is not
difficult, if you have none;
and if you now have such a
room, it should be refur-
nlshed this fall to the extent
of making it a cheerful gath
erlng place during the Win
ter. Even the furnace room
IN the basement can be uti-
lized. 1t can be cleaned, and
a clever family can box in
and camOuflage the pipes and
use paint and soft lights in
beginning the recreation
room. Why don t FeA try it ?

Because we use our dining

short periods, three times a

qucntIy occupied. The slim
uluS Of warm colorS has been
called an aid to digestion by
some authorities.
Wall colOrs lying between
red and yellow are Suitable,
creating a sunny effect. Blue
to green and blue to violet
effects may be secured by
proper spotting in draperjeS
and floor coverings. Flowers
always add a bright Stnmu-
lating note to the dining
room. Direct overhead light
ing is preferable for the din
ing room. Candles offer the
most effective lighting when
guests are present.
Since most dining room
furniture is sold in suites,
the choice Of pieces will he
largely determined by the
available space. A five
piece breakfast set used in
an apartment dinette may
prove ServiceabIe at a later
date when larger living quar-
terS are acquired, in a break
fast nook.
The Government bulletin.
"Furniture, Its Selection and
Use" has given as a proper
tlOnal percentage, 65 to 10
per cent of the total budget
for furniture, 1j to 20 per
cent for floor coverings. S
per cent for draperieS and Z
per cent for such decorative
accessories as flower bowls,
candle sticks. etc.
1t also suggests purchase
Of furniture from "Opcn
stock Suites' or styles
which can be added TO at a
later date. If, for example,
six chairs are chosen with a
