In Usual Form

"These pleadingS were sworn
to by the parties and certified
by the counsel in the usual
form, and no question was
raised as to residence or juris-
dicti0n until after hearing and
adjudication by interlOcutOry
decree.
"WhereupOn the defendant
by new counsel, but on facts
known from the beginning Of
the controversy, moved to va
cate the interlocutOry decree on
grounds that the parties were
not residents of the District Of
Columbia, but of the State Of
New Jersey.
"The basis of this motion is
that while the plaintiff was sta
toned in New Jersey on duty as
a naval officer, and the parties
were living together there, they
registered as voters and cast
votes in one or more elections,
the laws Of New Jersey requir-
ing in effect that voters shall be
residents Of that State. This mo-
ton being denied below, the
contention is renewed here.
"The evidence offered to Sus-
tain this position on the facts
is not clear, but the plaintiff
testified that he registered as a
voter in New Jersey during his
sojOurn there; attended an elec-
ton; procured a ballot, but then
concluding that he was not en-
titled to vote, did not cast his
ballot.
"Yet his testimony sufficiently
established that he registered
himself as q voter in New Jersey
in 1881.
"This situation Is claimed to
bring this case within the rul.
ings of this court in Downs v.
Downs, % App. d. C. S81, and
Rollings v. ROllings, 60 App.i
De C. 3O5, but we think it is
to be distinguished from both.
''FOr Downs attempted to
maintain two places Of legal
residence in different jurisdic-
tions at the same time, and con-
tended that he was entitled to
vote in Maryland as q resident
of Baltimore, while suing for
divorce in the District of Co.
lumbia as q resident Of Wash
ingtOn.

ton on official business but
maintained their legal residence
elsewhere, which it is usually ad-
vantageous for them to do. This
plaintiff, being ordered here for
duty, but being legally a resi-
dent here by birth and by
choice, is entitled to proceed in
the Supreme Court Of the Dis
trict of Columbia in q case of
divorce based upon acts COM
mitted here.
"The bill of complaint Is
grounded upon charges of adul-
terry by the defendant with the
correspondent Adrian, and as
there are three young children
of the marriage, no useful pur-
pose could be served by a de-
tailed discussion of the evidence,
all of which has been duly con-
Sidered. 1t clearly demonstrates
that the defendant Immediately

confined in a hospital by injur.
les received in the course Of
duty, entertained in her own
house the correspondent and
other men previously unknown
at hours and in manners wholly
inconsistent with her wifely
duties.
"That she frequently went
out with one or other or more
of these men, leaving her chill
dren locked up alone and un.
attended, and that ON the Oc-
caSiOn when her husband and
his detectives entered the house
Unexpectedly they found the
defendant and the correspondent

night, when the lady was
dressed in a costume described
as beach pajamas.

HONESTY URGED
IN ADVERTISING
At MEETING

Honesty in advertising was
urged by speakers today at the
opening session of the seventeenth
annual meeting at the Mayflower
Hotel of the American Associa-
ton of Advertising Agencies.
Bad advertising has imperiled
the entire profession, w. c.
Darcy, of st. Louis, chairman Of
the board, warned in opening the
meeting. He said:
"a small amount Of advertiS-
ing, exaggerated, vulgar or in.
decent, imperilS the faith of the
public"
DEGREES U. S. IN BUSINESS
While expressing sympathy for
the New Deal, Mr.. Darcy decried
the part the Government is play
ing in business, asking:
"Has American business lost
the power to do its own think
ing?"
The advertising industry is
firmly behind the Administration
in it's efforts to obtain better dis
tribution of purchasing power and
promote higher standard of living
He warned that when the sense
of security is taken away from ar
individual or a business, there iT
generated a "jittery feeling OF
loss, of confused bewilderment."
Must Be Honest
Alice L. Edwards, executive sec
retary of the American Home Eco
nomic Association, warned thai
advertising must be honest to
maintain the confidence of con-
sumers.
She also urged that the nature
of advertising be changed from
the psychological to informa
tional, pointing out that buyer
wants to know just what he is
getting.
More than 800 members from
all parts of the country are at
tending the two-day session.
John Benson, of New York,
president, presided at the after
noon meeting.

Ground of Contest

TN 1928 Mrs. ROIlings left
her husbands apartment in
Washington, established herself
in another apartment here,
and filed her suit for limited
divorce, which her husband
contested on the ground that
jurisdiction of the cause was
in the courts of West Vir.
ginia and not in the Supreme
Court of the District of Co.
lumbia.
"This contention was Sus-
tanned by the court, where it
was said that both parties,
though sOjOurning in Washing
ton, had throughout their So
jOurn lin the most positive
way claimed residence in the
State of West Virginia, and
with no contrary claim on the
part of either rntil the sepa-
ration
"And when the separation oc-
Cured, with the suit filed on
the same day, there was moth.
ing to indicate that the plain
tiff had ever repudiated her
West Virginia residence and
rights, or that she then con-
templated and intended a
change of permanent legal resi-
dence from West Virginia to the
District of Columbia.
"Since there is no voting in
the District of Columbia, and
consequently no registry of
voters, we are without those
guides to a mans intention
while he is living here, either
in respect of acquiring residence
in this jurisdiction or abandon
ing one elsewhere, but this plain
tiff as a officer of the Navy was
required by naval regulations to
register his place of legal resi-
dence on entering the service
and to renew that registration
every six months.
"HiS place of actual abode is
changed from time to time by
official order, but his place OF
legal residence may be changed
only by his giving notice to the
Navy Department and obtaining
approval in advance, and not by
an ex post factO announcement
of a change made by himself.

BARNES INTO
TENNIS STAR

NEW YORK, May 22-Three
years ago Bruce Barnes was just
another tennis player. Once he
reached the final Of the intercol-
legiates he had a couple of Minor
League" wins to his credit, and
he was rated in the second ten,
but that was all. His future
loomed as anything but bright.
And then the grinning, tow
headed Texan turned professional.
He went on a long exhibition tour,
during which he played almost
daily against the greatest master
the game has ever known, big
Bill Tilden.
Ranked Among Best
The results of the "Pro" con-
facts have been little short Of
amazing. From "just another
tennis player" Barnes has ad-
vanced to a position where today
Tilden ranks him in the first ten
of the world, let alone the United
States.
This afternoon the youthful
star meets Henri Cochet, only a
year ago the No. l player of the
game, in the quarter-final round
of the Eastern Professional Champ.

own explanation for his meteoric
rise in the net horizon. Barnes
declares:

During this period Mrs.

Law of Existence

'In denying this contention,
the court said that it is not
ouen to argument that there
cannot be at the same time two
such places Of residence. 1t is a
law of our physical existence
that one cannot be in two places
at the same time; and it is
equally . law of our civil exist
ence that there cannot be two
places of residence, each with
the intention of our remaining
there permanently or indefl-
nitely and of its becoming our
fixed and permanent home"
"In that case the plaintiff
was a native Of MARYLAND;
there was doubt as to whether
he had ever acquired a legal
residence in the District OF
Columbia, though long a So
iOurner here; and it was clear
that before his suit was brought
he broke up his home here;
separated from his family;
and rented rooms in Baltimore
with the avOwed intention OF
gaining residence there.
"In the ROllingS case' the
parties after living together
in Washington for several
years, removed to West Vir-
ginia, where they bought land:
built a house; the husband
established practice as physl.
clan; both parties voted; and
both regarded their permanent
residence as being there.
"In this manner they lived
in West Virginia for 81 years,

Unfamiliar surroundings, going to
the turn in SO to be 2 up on Hart
ley, and never yielding a hole
thereafter.
Jesse might have won sooner If
he hadn't three-putted the twelfth.
But then he saved a loss at the
fourteenth by coming beautifully
out of the heather to the green
and sinking a long putt for a half.
1t remained, in fact, for only
the victory of Dunlap to be open
to interrogation, the American
champion again needing old lady
luck to pull him through against
BEeault, just as she was needed
in keeping Georges ball out Of the
brook at the twenty-second against
Walsh in the first round yester-
day.
Breault, mystery man of the
tournament, provided the Sensa-
ton this time, not Dunlap. He
started with two brides and, so
close was he at the finish, his ap-
proach to the home green hit the
pin and his putt for win, hit the
back Of the cup, hoped once
and stayed up!
Lost Control
AS for Westland, he somehow
had lost his fine control overnight
ard was fortunate in catching
Colonel Tate in an equally lavish
mood, both going to the turn in
a., seven over par. Jack was all
over the course and might very
we'll have lost, except for the fact
that he sank good puts at the
sixth, seventh and eighth.
However, he caught the feel
again at the eleventh, where he
went definitely and finally into
the lead, and he wound up with
great IS at the fourteenth and
fifteenth, with sensational puts.
Speaking of sensations, Breault
turned in a few in his own be-
half, winning the first hole from
Dunlap by pitching to within 3
feet of the pin and sinking the
putt for a birdie. At the short
second, he pitched to within two
feet this time and down went the
putt again for a birdie, making
him two up.
However, the turn of the tide
came at the long third, the De.
troit man badly hooking his tee
shot to the gorse and finally TAX
ing a losing 6, Dunlap being care
full and straight all the way for a
par S.
It was all square again at the
ninth, after which Dunlap took
the lead for the first time at the
tenth,

A Book a Day by BRUCE CATION
A Novelist Studies The Hitler Regime

It begins to look is if we were about to have deluge of nov els telling what life is like in Ger many under the NaZls. Some of them will be very good, and some of them surely will be very bad; meanwhile, one of the first on, the scene is Heinz Liepmann's "Mur- def9&Made in Germany" a novel whose merits would seem to give it ranking somewhere in the mid- dle of the list.
 This book tells of German trawler which put to sea in the fall of 1892 and came back in the spring of '33. It carried no wire less and it's crew had heard no news at all from home during their absence.
 They had left with the repub- lican regime in full sway; they return to find Hitler in the sad dle. and the book studies their carious reactions to the change.
 Most interesting, perhaps, is the story of the captain-an old salt who still longs for the return of the kaiser, and doesn't pretend to understand politics. He sees storm troopers use their clubs on a man and a woman on a railway station platform.
 Mortified, he hunts the authori- ties to make complaint. He makes his complaint, all right-but in- stead of getting justice done, he gets locked up!
 The others similarly are disil- iusioned. There is a great deal in the book about brutality. and repression and injustice, and the author, in foreword, VOWS that every incident is copied from life.
 As to that, I'm willing to take his word; but 1t does seem to me that his book would have been more effective if he had made it a straightaway recital of facts in- stead of putting it in the form of fiction.
 A propaganda novel is a tick. fish thing to write. This one, l think, just misses the bull's-eye
 Published by Harpers, it sells at $2.50.

Big Navy Race

Thee United States Senate has passed the Vinson bill authorizing $750,000,000 for new construction of warships, to build up to our treaty limit. Promptly word comes from Tokio that Japan, which has already built up to her limit under the 5-5-3 ratio, will build additional warships. The navalists over there are kicking over the arrangement made in the Washington treaty dozen years ago, and talk of building up to parity with the biggest sea powers-Great Britain and America. The French and Italian standard will not do for them. This attitude, to any sane mind, is reckless. Japan cannot afford as big navy as America or Britain, and has not legitimate use for one so big. Bri- tain has her scattered world empire to protect. We have an empire less vast and scattered, but far more valuable. .
 The $750,000,000 referred to, though authorized, is not appropriated. We are going ahead with considerable new con- struction, but the plan is meant to cover several years, and may be halted at any time. Signs of moderation at Tokio would do much to halt it. If it comes, however, to active naval competition be- tween America and Japan, the latter will bankrupt herself. We could out build her ten to one Her best defense is not to start anything she can't stop.
