WOMAN AWARDED
$z,9)D |NL0vES SUIT
Chicago PoIiceman's Wife
Had Asked 100000 for
Loss of Affections.
3y the Associated Press.

3y the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. January 25.-For the
love of policeman Mrs. Myrtle Tanner
Blacklidge must pay $500, a jury Of
IL men decided.
Which, incidentally, is considerably
less than the 100000 value placed on
the love of Norman Nottingham patrol
wagon driver, by his wife, Susanne, in
her alienation of affections suit against
the former collector of internal revenue.
Today three courses of action re-
manned open for Mrs. Blacklidge-pay
the judgment, go to jail or appeal.
Haven't Got IS Cents"
As for paying the Judgment she dis
missed that as one of the possibilities
herself last night when informed of the
verdict.
my, I haven't got IS cents! I'll have
10 go to jail"
And those who knew her recalled the
$4,000 of borrowed money she claimed
to have lost in an alleged faro game
swindle at Springfield, Ill, several years
ago.
However, there was one ray OF hope
for her in the overshadowing Jail SEN
tence. The law provides that Defend
ants in such cases may be incarcerated
for six months-if the plaintiff pays
the board bill amounting to $3.50 a
week. In that case it would be Mrs.
Nottingham who would pay.
Jury Out Six Hours.
Mrs. Nottingham, who testified to
doing her own detective work by
crawling up on roots and the like on
dark nights to spy on Mrs. Blacklidge
and Nottingham, was not in court when
the verdict was returned. Neither was
Mrs. Blacklidge nor the crowds of spec
tators that attended the trial.
1t had taken the jury of 10 self-ad-
nitted happy husbands" and two
bachelors, who had never figured in
personal alienation or breach of prom
ise suits. six hours to arrive at verdict

His former wife, Mrs. Nora v.
Demaree, was at her home at Saltwater
when he arrived by airplane yester-
day.
sister of Robertson, Mrs. Ella Ha-
ven of Guthrie, was at the airport to
see him, but he showed her no recogni-
ton. He refused to talk to her later,
but did converse with two nieces,
daughters of Mrs Haven.
One Of them, Mrs. Florita la Suer,
%, said he told her why he "disap-
peared," but she wouldn't discuss it,
Robertson, remarked as Maxwell, said
he wanted to get back to the Navy as
soon as he could.

RESTORATION ASKED
OF CEMETERY MARKERS

A joint resolution providing for re-
placement in Arlington National Gene
terry Of markers inscribed with quota
tions from Theodore O'Haras pohm,
''Bivouac of the Dead has been iin-
troduced by Representative Chapman
Democrat of Kentucky.
Chapman said the markers, which
were located at all entrances to the
cemetery and at the main road inter-
sections within the grounds, were re-
moved at the suggestion of the Fine
Arts Commission. Inscriptions from
O'Hara's immortal poem, he declared
are in every other military cemetery
In the world.
Chapman's interest in the restora-
ton of the markers is due primarily
to the fact O'Hara was a native of
Kentucky. having been born in Dam
vile. in his congressional district He
pointed out. however. that patriotic
organizations of the country also are
interested in the restoration of the

OBSERVATIONS BY DR. ANTON IA{>I SHOW NEW FACTS ABOUT

Speculations aboqt the probability of fife on the planet Venus may be altered by recent observations of Gr k. M. Antoniadi, veteran watch CT of the planets through the great -three-inch telescope of the Meudon Observatory, near Paris, reported in letter to the London scientific periodical Nature.
 0n several successive days; this winter Dr. Antoniadi observed slii htly dusky spots on the unbroken layer of white clouds usually seen On Venus. Whether these spots were glimpses of solid OF hguid surface of the planet seen through rifts in the clouds or whether they are effects of a volcanic eruption or are something still different, it Is impossible to decide,
 Dr. Anoniadi has satisfied him. self, however, that these spots were almost stationary for several days in Succession; which fact, if 1t is true, indicates that Venus does not tur9 rapidly on it's axis. like ths earth or Mars. Probably it, keeps enc side turned permanently toward tilS2 ttll, dS IS DSiltNeu dtSOa u DNs u ue' of the planet Mercury and as the moon keeps one side. turned toward the earth. = ....,f.s,, :. .i

If tHfs is. true the climate, of Venus underneath the cloud layer must be very different from any, thing on. earth;S with one hot and steamy side where any water on the surface evaporates continually, and one frpsty side where, this same water condenses continually Venus vast moiture laden winds must blow continually from the hot side to the cold one. 0n the actual surface enormous .

It was foggy over the town when they took off, and it was necessary to fly low to get out of the fog bank, which was only local, after which they made a straight shoot to McGee City near Rainy Pass. There they put down and got weather report from Operator Rees, who handles the Me Gee radoiphone station at. that point, and finding the report favorable, pushed on immediately for McGrath.

AMERICAN BAMBOO

The time may come when Ameri- cans will be able to eat chop suey with assurance that it's bamboo shoots, at least, are American grown. The Government has been experimenting for some years with more than 200 varieties of bamboo in a grove in Georgia. Canes are now being shipped from this plan tation for experiments in industrial adapation. :. The bamboo is botanieally grass native to the tropics. Some of it's many varieties grow to a diameter of six inches and a height of more than hundred feet. The hardier varieties are found as far north as Japan. They grow in the Andes up to the snow-iine.. The trees are hollow very light and very strong The, outer wood is so .ssiliceous that it can be used for whetstones. Ger tain species have been observed to grow as, much as 20 inches in t2 hours.s The successful introduction of. Japanese varieties into England is persumptive evidence. that they can be smade tossucceed in our South ern States. a4.
 What. sOriantals cannot make out of bamboo is not very much. They eat it's ;succulent roots. They build whole heuses4 out. of it. <. They split it for furniture.
