STUNT MARRIAGE
AS DRAWING CARD
JANICE THORNTON MAKES
COMPLAINT TO DISTRICT
ATTORNEY

NEW ORLEANS, May 81
Janice Thornton, 23-yeAr-old
nickle-a-dance girl, who got mar
ried as a stunt to draw crowds to
a walkathon and then learned that
the marriage sticks. sees little
virtue in the old adage that the
show must go on.
Janice complained to the dis
trict attorney Saturday. She mar
ried a man named Al Hayes, whom
she met at the walkathon and
hasn't seen since. He was report
ed to have left town with the show.
They promised to have the
marriage amulet in three days.
They brought in a real honest-to-
goodness Baptist minister to fool
the crowd but it was just an act.
Why. never even kissed AL. Now
the show has been gone 10 days
and want to marry my boy
friend. Bob"
The girl also told authorities
that she was to have been paid ST.
200 prize money but all she got
was 50 for the wedding and
$3.50 for a floor show. The dis
triet attorney took the matter uTl-
der advisement.

H. DAVIS
LEAVES ENROUTE

UNITED STATES AMBASSADOR
INTIMATEs QUESTION OF
ARMS LIMITATION NOT so
ENCOURAGING
my Associated rressD

NEW YORK, May 21.-Norman
II. Davis, u. S. ambassador-at-
large and delegate to the dis
armament conference, which re-
convenes in Geneva on May 20,
sailed For Europe Saturday on the
Cunard liner Aquitania in not
quite his usual optimistic mood.
Although still hopeful "sanity can
and will prevail" in the confer
ence, Mr.. Davis, said that on the
surface the prospects OF an agree
ment on arms limitation between
the nations were not encourag-
ing.
Mr.. Davis reached the liner only
a few minutes before sailing time
with prepared statement which
he refused to amplify.
II am returning to Geneva, I'M
der instruction of the president,
to attend the disarmament con-
ference, which recessed last Octo-
Der and reconvenes on May go, to
be preceded by meeting of the
steering committee on the 28th, /"
Mr.. Davis said. what the re-
suits OF the meeting will be / can
not tell and do not care to pre-
dict. On the surface, the pros
poets of an agreement, at least at
an early date, are not encouraging.
Underneath, however, there is a
strong and growing public opinion
which is demanding that the eff
forts for disarmament shall con-
-tinue until success is achieved.
"Unquestionably a crisis now
has been reached in the negotia-
tons, but since no nation has any
thing really to gain through a
failure and all nations have much
to gain by a success, I cannot be-
lieve that any nation will be WIN
ing to assume the responsibility
for a failure. or. in the last
analysis, dare to face the con-
sequence of a failure.

Three Acres Of Cenented Cloth
To Form Stratosphere Balloon
By F. B. COTTON

(Associated Press Science Writer)
AKRON, Ohio, May 21.-
Enough cloth to make 2O-inch
ribbon reaching from earth 10
miles into the stratosphere will go
into the huge balloon in which two
army officers hope to soar to that
same height in June.
On the flight the balloonists
will entrust their lives to 800 gal
Ions of rubber cement, for the
balloon is being "stuck together"
instead of sewn, and not a single
stitch of thread is going into it.
The cemented seams are stronger
than the fabric itself. Three acres
of cloth, cut in strips shaped like
slices of orange peel. are being
nodded into the balloon at the
Goodyear-Zeppelin factory here.
Largest Balloon
When finished it will be the
largest free balloon ever con-
structed. It will hold three mil
lion cubic feet of hydrogen gas, a
capacity three and one-half times
greater than any previous free
balloon and nearly half that of the
navy dirigible Akron.
The balloon will be used on the
National Geographic Society-Army
az corps stratosphere flight, on
which Capt. Albert w. Stevens and
Maj. William E. Kepner will seek
to attain a new altitude record
and gather much new knowledge
of conditions high above the earth.
The balloon will consist of s.
482 major pieces and scores of
smaller fragments, all pasted to-
gether with the greatest care with
rubber cement, and the seams COW
cred on both sides with fabric
backed rubber tape.
Thin Spots Probed
After it is cemented together
air viii be pumped under the Sec
tions of the bag and inspectors will
look through it toward strong
light to detect any thin spots 50
that they may be patched. All the
cloth in the balloon has received
80 thin coats of rubber.
Rubber cement will be used to
attach the catenary band-from
which the gondola will be sus-
pended--to the balloon. This band
consists of belt. of heavy cloth
with its lower edge cut into $50
scallops. Hemmed into these seal
Tops will be a small wire cable
forming loops from which will ex-
tend ropes attached to the gan
dola.
Another catenary band will be
attached to the balloon higher up
where the ropes for handling of
the balloon by the ground crew
will be fastened.

Roosevelt Credited With Eleven
Line Drives Toward Capitol Hill

WASHINGTON, May 21.-
President Roosevelt, having swung

average OF 900.
A compilation today showed
him to have sent IL line drives
back toward Capitol hill, with con-
gress having returned only one for

That one. however. was by far
the most important play of the
veto game. The ball in that ease
was the independent offices sup

federal pay and veterans.
The president socked it with a
veto, saying congress had failed to
devise taxes to raise the money.

Many Key Westers See Vision
OF Havana Reflected In Sky
Claimed Picture Showed
Presidential Palace,
MORO Castle And Many
Other Structures

Seldom is the opportunity of
fered for people to see a mirage
but this opportunity was given to
a number of Key Westers last
week when a vision Of Havana was
seen reflected in the sky to the
south of this city.
Shortly after 6 o'clock last Fri
day there gradually appeared a pc
culiar looking haze apparently
about three miles above the hori-
zon and just as though it was a
moving picture where the spirit
like semblance Of a scene or per-
sons gradually appears, the city
OF Havana loomed before the as
tonished and awe-struek gaze of
the watchers.
Buildings Seen
Not only was the picture there,
1T is stated. but buildings could be
discerned and recognized. The
presidential palace could be clear
ly seem and other buildings such
as the MORO Castle, Hotel Plaza
were easily recognized. Even ped
estrians and vehicles were seen on
the streets, and the Prado was
crowded.
One of the watchers was con-
WINGED he was locking at a miracle
and was inclined to believe that
some startling news ofts@l,a t.oui
soon be given to the world. An
other was impressed with the idea
il meant that Cuba is to be pun
ishcd because of the new 30-day
divorce Law being planned end the
sssSsiiE sixisss. which + Is hoped viii
become a part Of the entertain
ments offered 10 visitors.
Remarkable Part
What is most remarkable about
the vision. said one. is that Il was
seen on the afternoon of the day
on which the Cuban Senate abro-
gated the law which made il In
cumbent on all visitors 10 pay the
head tax of three dollars which
has been in existence for a long
time and has been for just that
length of time the bane of tour
lists.
Whatever the mirage means. il
anything. il has caused q great
deal of comment and speculation.
it being argued in many homes
that such things just don't happen
while others contend that when
one is seen it means disaster of
some kind 10 somebody SOME
where.
Webster's Dictionary defines \
mirage "a "an optical effect some
times seen on the ocean. but more
frequently in plains and deserts
due to a total reflection Of lights
at the surface common to two
strata % air differently heated.
The reflected image is seen, com
monty n en- inverted position while
the real object may or may not be
in sight"
