Randitry Is increasing in china.

Because the bridegroom failed to provide gifts which the bride claimed he had promised her, the couple returned to stately Moslem Sheriet at Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, and had the marriage dissolved 50 min- utes after the wedding ceremony.

Brazil faces a business boom.

Declaring that evening weddings tend to detract from the solemn ity of the marriage service, the bishop of Pretoria, the Right Rev. W. Parker, has ruled that wed- dings services shall not be per- formed in his diocese after four o'clock in the afternoon.

Wants EIopers to
Think 1t OUer

To the Editor of The Times:
The newspapers recently have
been filled with the news of a
certain young couple who
eloped, and a few days later
separated.
This seems to me to show
the necessity of a law in this
Nation, similar to that now in
effect in several States, requir-
ing a period of at least three
days between the application
and the granting of a marriage
license.
The old adage has it: Marry
in haste and repent at leisure:
and this is very true.
The majority of Opponents
end up in the divorce courts.
Marriage should not be entered
into on the spur of the mo-
ment, but only after mature
elaboration.
The tragedy of divorce would
be lessened to a marked degree,
I believe, if such a law were
enacted. B. A. P.

ABUSE Of TRIO
BY JAPANESE

TOKYO, Feb. % dN.sJ.-Act-
ing upon instructions from the
American State Department, Am.
bassador Joseph c. Grew called
upon the Japanese foreign office
today in connection with the
alleged maltreatment of three
American business executives by
Osaka police several days ago.
Ambassador Grew was reported
to have formally protested the in.
cident, although he declined to
confirm this, saying any COM
ment on the visit must come from
the japanese. 1t was possible he
merely presented affidavitS sworn
to by the three Americans-R. s.
K. Irwin, j. w. Scott and William
P. Palmroth, all of the Corn
Products Refining Corporation.
Charges Denied
Mr.. Grew was received by Vice
Minister of Foreign Affairs Shige-
mitsu.
The Americans said they were
treated brutally and humiliatingly
by the Osaka police after calling
them for protection against sew
eral Koreans who, according to
the Americans, threatened their
lives. The trio said the police
bound them with rope and led
them through Osaka's main streets
to police headquarters, and there
held them for several hours.
According to the Japanese YER
sion, the Americans assaulted the
Koreans and then resisted police.
The Am orleans denied these
charges.
Laugh at Spy Scare
Officials of the American con-
sulate today laughed at the latest
"spy scare" of certain of the
small vernacular japanese news
papers, and the Japanese navy
officially denied any action had
been taken against the American
tanker Elizabeth kellogg on sus-
picion of espionage.
The tanker, owned by the New
York and Philippine Steamship
Corporation and chartered by
Nitsui & Co., of Japan, went
aground yesterday near large
fortresses in Tokyo Bay. The
British freighter Catherine Rad
cliffe also went aground nearby.
The incident was ignored by
all of the large and reliable Japa.
nese newspapers, but certain ver-
nacular papers seized upon the
incident, declaring the American
vessel was being held on charges
of espionage.

Clubs to Aid Blind

Robert B. Irwin, executive
director of the American Foun'
dation for the Blind, has is
sued a special appeal to club
women for cooperation in rails
ing funds for the purchase Of
talking books" and the ma
chimes on which the books"
are played, it was announced
today by the General Fedora
tion of Women'S Clubs.
Many groups and individ.
uals of the General Fedora
ton of Women'S Clubs are
raising funds for the purchase
Of the machines and are ar
ranging to distribute them to
the needy among the blind.
The talking books" or vol
umes which are recorded on
photograph discs, have been
termed "the first aid to the
blind, comparable to Braille,
since the introduction Of Braille
10c years ago." Blind readers
who have used the books call
them 1.-The nearest thing to the
regaining Of sight ITSELF"
Their advantage over Braille
books is that they can be en-.
joyed by all blind people.
whereas less than one-fourth
Of the blind in the United
States can read Braille.

prominent member of the Ma

clared that both organizations
have adopted a rigid determine

section 213 of the economy act,
which bars a husband and wife
from both working in the Federal
service.
Declaring that women are par
ticularly the sufferers under the
present law, Mrs. Matthews to-
day said that marriage is no
basis for discrimination, and both
of our organizations take the posi-
ton that women should have
equal opportunity in every field"

The organization leader was
supported by Mrs. Rebekah Great
house, chairman Of the Govern.
ment Workers Council of the Ma
tional Woman's Party, and a for
mer assistant United States at

has sponsored numerous efforts to
legislate repeal of the marriage
clause" Mrs. Greathouse said to-
day that the efforts will be con-
tinued.
Mrs. Matthews, who recently ad.
dressed a radio audience on the
subject under the auspices of the

the case of a Government Printing

Woman Lost Suit
This woman sued, unsuccessful

Where Are Promises
OF Yesteryear

To the Editor of The Times:
President Roosevelt was elected
on a platform pledging him to
preserve "a sound but adequate
currency" The currency today
is 40 per cent less sound than
it was.
His spokesman, Senator Carter
Glass, with the acquiesence of
the then candidate for Presi-
dent, expressed himself as horri-
fled that the United States
should abandon the gold stand
ard. 1t has been abandoned.
Democratic spokesman de-
nounced the "Grundy" tariff
and promised a revision. It
hasn't been revised, so that one
Of two things must be true:
either it isn't bad tariff or
the President and his supporters
didn't mean what they said.
President Roosevelt's admins
tration has destroyed cotton

wheat and livestock while people
go hungry.
I am not political partisan.
I never voted a straight ticket

Roosevelt Defeat

To the Editor of The Times:
agree with you, Mary Nc
Connell, in your letter to The
Washington Times, president
Roosevelt will be a private citi-
zen in 1887" That is, unless
some Of the present policies
are adjusted.
For example, the patronage
question, a strong factor in
retaining voters for a political
party and its individual office
holder.
In the last presidential cleo
ton, voted by mail from the
Democratic headquarters, then
located on Fourteenth, near G
Street. When leaving the polls,
I was accosted by a young lady,
asking for a contribution to the
RooSevelt-Garner fund and in
reward, was given certificate"
with picture of the honored
gentlemen theron.
AS a result of my choice, and
thousands of others in my home
State, "a northwestern State),
the State went democratic for
the fiVst time in years.
Since December /, 1884, I
have been unemployed, for the
first time since I came to Wash
ington, four years ago. I've tried
to get a patronage job. but with
no success. My certificate"
wouldn't pay rent or buy food,

lief-a fine situation for two
college people.

What Would PaWnshops
Do Then?

To the Editor of The Times:
Here is a suggestion should
like to make which I believe
would go far toward settling
the financial problems of the
rJtion.
Let every man or woman in
the country give a piece Of old
jewelry Of some sort to the Gov.
eminent. The gold from this to
be melted down into bullion and
placed in the Treasury to add to
the reserve and stabilize cur.
rency.
In time of war every one gave
to the utmost, and surely the
present day is comparable to
war.
In almost every home there is
some article not used - old
glasses, old jewelry, gold teeth
and other articleS-which could
be spared, and with everyone
doing this the Government
would build up a gold reserve
Of millions Of dollars.

PANAMA ASKS
RENT IN GOLD
international News Service

International News Service
Panama next week plans to re-
fuse a United States Treasury
check for $3.50, 900 for rental Of
the Panama Canal Zone, and this
country doesn't know quite what
to do about it.
The little republic will ask gold
coin, as it did last year, and main
tains the recent Supreme Court
decision on gold strengthens its
position.
The American Government is
inclined to agree but heSitates
because gold payment would set
precedent.
Panama is paid rental for the
Canal Zone yearly under a treaty
ratified in 1904, and contends this
pact, providing for payment in
gold, cannot be changed by one
government without the consent
Of the other.
DR.. Ricardo J. Alfaro, Panama
minister, has taken the matter up
with the State Department. New
representations are expected from
Panama before the rent is due,
February 26.
Panama contends the Supreme
Court ruling does not apply to a
foreign country operating under
treaty, and that the United States
must pay in gold and at the rate
which obtained prior to devalua-
ton of the dollar.
On the basis Of payment de-
manded by Panama, the $250,000
p ayment would amount to
$422,5OO,
