AIMEE WILL
SEEK DECREE
Evangelist On Way Home To
See That Divorce Is Obtained
In Her Own Name.

PARIS, July 18. W.P) - Aimee
Mcpherson Hutton, Four Square
gospel evangelist, is on her way
back to California to fight the
divorce suit of her husband, David
Hutton-not that she wants Hut
ton, but that she wants the di-
vorce in her own name, the United
Press learned today.
Mrs. Mcpherson Hutton, who
slipped away from the American
hospital after an abdominal opera
ton recently, visited her daughter
in the Paris suburbs, lodged those
who sought to trail her and sailed
from Havre Sunday on the Balti-
more mail liner City of Havre.
The ship is due at Baltimore

He looked forward to a divorce
from his evangelist wife, Aimee
Semple Mcpherson Hutton, and a

perhaps dance, man on the stage
There was no apparent rancour in
his words as he discussed the suit
he filed yesterday in which he
charged extreme mental cruelty
and asked for a share of commun-

dirt he said, unless I have to-"
Whether he would have to" was
expected to be settled when word
was received from Mrs. Hutton,
enroute from France to Baltimore

well-known leader of Angelus Tenn
pie was asked by her attorney,
Willed Andrews, in radiogram, if
she wanted to make "a quiet set
tlement with David" or fight the
case through the divorce courts.
Mrs. Hutton radioed local news
papers she was surprised" by the
divorce suit, although the United
Press in Paris learned otherwise.
And her husband received this
crisp but glowing message:

VOTED DOWN

Today's Session.
BY THOMAS b. MALARKEY

United Press Staff Correspondent
SACRAMENTO, July 18. U.P) =
Pugnacious senators, obviously rel
ishing their opportunity to strike
back at Governor Rolph, continued
their veto reputation rampage to-
Gay by passing the kindergarten
bill and five others over the gov
ernor's objections.
Five of the vetoes had already
been overriden by the assembly
Hence upper house action definitely
made the bills law
Kindergarten bill increasing the
kindergarten age from Az to
years = estimated saving between
100000 and $1.500,000 annually.
The vote was 81 to S.
Reduction of Long Beach NUM-
cipal judges salaries from $500 TO
$6500.
Reduction of Los Angeles munici-
pal judges salaries from $500 to
$6500
Appropriation of $500 for Will
liam Dyer, in payment of damages
for false Imprisonment. Dyer was
convicted of payroll robbery, SEN
fenced to prison and later definite
ly found innocent.
Reduction of superior judges in
Orange and San Bernardino coun-
ties from $1,000 to $6O00
SACRAMENTO, July 18.-Gub-
ernatorial vetoeS continued to re-
ceive rough treatment at the hands
of the senate today as the upper
house overrode Governor Rolph's
disapproval of the So-called Joy
riding" bill. The vote was % to 9.
The measure, sponsored by the
senate fact finding committee, pro-
videS automobiles owned by the
state, counties, cities or other pub
lie agencies shall be used for Off
cial business only and subjects any
employee to possible loss of his job
TOR the private use of such cars.
The bill also provides for the
pooling" of state cars at central
points. 1t is estimated this feature
alone would save the state 100000
year.
The veto attack was led by Sena-
tor David Bush, Oakland, who as
serted Governor Rolph's veto mes
sage was only a Smoke screen" to
permit the continuation of unlimit-
ed use of publicly owned cars to the
detriment of the taxpayer.
Technical objections to the bill
were voiced by Senator Will P.
Sharkey, Martinez, administration
floor leader, in an unsuccessful at
tempt to have the veto sustained.
The senate did, however, sustain
the governors veto of bill which
would have denied county treasur-
ers' expense money when making
trips to Sacramento to make semi
annual settlements with the state
controller.
Senator James M. Allen, Yreka,
announced today he was preparing
a resolution memorializing PreSi-
dent Roosevelt to lift the embargo
on newly mined gold.
Imperial Valley press., 1933-07-18

the Chicago exposition entailed
possible total cost of $4,000, 900, it
was estimated today.
However, much of the cost is in
the seaplanes themselves, in spe-
cial instruments they have, and in
the cost of training and maintain
ing their crew, who are members
of the royal air force.
The planes cost from $5O,OOO TO
100000 each. The expense of es-
tablishing bases and ships at sea
was probably $45O,OO0, and this
the principal out of pocket cost
will be met by the sale OF special
Air mail stamps. Post offices have
sold 100000 worth of these al
ready.
King Victor Emmanuel cabled
Gen. Italo Balbo, commanding the
fleet, the following message:
Il congratulate you and the gal
liant crews who attained their glo-
rious aim with the life and power
full throbS of hearts and motors of
Italy"
The crown prince cabled.
The crown princess and l have
followed your marvellous flight with
full faith in your triumphal sue
cess, and express to you, gallant
companions, pure admiration and
heartieSt Fluctuations
Balbo replied to both messages,
expressing thanks for himself ana
his men, whom he praised highly.

however, denied the reports.
The Albany News declared there

released upon payment of $110,-
600 ransom, but that the News, be-
cause of demands of the abductors,
| must be withheld from the public
for "a or 48 hours"

of the youths politically power
full uncles, Daniel and Ed O'Con-
nell, bristled with activity. There
was a distinct air of expectancy.

be released shortly.

of 100000 was at first demanded
for Luer'S return.

 With more than five million comics sold. the adventures in the land of Oz were hailed as the best selling American juvenile classic ana d close rival to "Alice In Wonderland" in world popularity.

 Miss Thompson is the only lit- erary ghost who has continued a classic to new heights of success after the original authors death. Taking over the notes left by Baum when she was 20, she had modernized this fairyland tale from year to year. She has re- ceived more than half a million letters from children and grown ups asking questions about the Land of Oz. "Don't ever write down to chil- dren and say now, my dear little friends" advised Miss Thompson. Remember that children nave Q keen sense of humor.

New Vanity Cases Neat and
 Practical


 There's a new fall crop of beauty aids. Just pick out what you need. If you're tired of carrying an eve. ming bag which is over-crowded with an assortment of cigarets, lip. sticks, matches and powder and rouge compacts, take look at some of the new ensemble eve- ming vanity cases.
 One particularly nice one has place for @ few cigarets inside or its case, a lighter on the top and panel which opens up to reveal rouge and powder. Almost every thing you need during an evening Is right there in one case. Merely add a lipstick, d comb and a hand kerchief and there you are--with a neat, flat bag instead of one which looks like q little stuffed pillow.
 Speaking of combs to carry in your evening bag-have you seen the ones which come in little beaded cases? Besides being very decorative and feminine, they keep dust and tobacco from getting in between the teeth of the comb. You can get them in white and in all coiors to match your gown. While shopping aronnd for beauty gadgets for yourself. you might give thought to the guests who will visit in your home this winter.
 Bath mits which arc little cot ! ton bags filled with powdered soap are very nice for. your guest bath room. They come in all colors and take tho place of the ubiquit- ous wash cloth and cake of soap NEXT: Your neck should match l YnuE face.

STYLE CHATS

During the big high-pressure era before the '29 fold-up, when folks were stitching buildings together whether or not there were enough tenants to go round, a lot of con- struction work was done which rightfully belonged in the sink.
 Walls were run up with about as much sound resistance as paper. The neighbors' business was your business whether you cared to lis- ten to 1t or not, and if little FL mer's electric train of cars went off the track, 1t zoomed right on through to the next apartment without as much as a dent in the whistle! But no more kid stuff with your walls! Akoustolith, in- stead of being a Greek wrestler, as you suspected, Is a sound-ab- sorbing plaster, which takes care of unwanted noises. The only thing safe to fake is the wall pam cling.
 On O good. sturdy, sound-re- sisting wall, try one of the now flexwoods. This Is 0 thin-oh, very thin-veneer. stuck flexibly to canvas, and whizzes onto the wall like paper. The result is satisfying. especially when ono of the blonde modern woods, like huya, Is used.
