D. c. DIVORCE LAW
POINT UP TUESDAY
400 Cases Depend on Deci-
sion Regarding Separa-
ton and DeSertion.

The question of whether the separa-
ton and desertion provisions of Wash
ingtonS new divorce law are retroac-
tive, on which hangs the fate of some
400 court actions, will be argued be-
fore Justice O'Donoghue in District
Supreme Court Tuesday.
When the law was passed its spon-
Sors intended it to be retroactive, but
no specific provision was incorporated.
Consequently, dispute has arisen as
to whether a itigant can obtain a
divorce on the grounds he or she was
deserted two years ago. or must wait
two years after the effective date of
the act, August 8 of this year.
In addition to the grounds of de-
sertion, the new law permits absolute
divorce after five years separation.
The majority of all divorce actions
filed since the first part of August have
been based on one of these two pro-
visions.
The first test was made in the suit
of Mrs. Lena Rucker, 913 L street
northeast. Ralph Pitcher, represent
ing the husband, Robert B. Rucker,
913 Evart street northeast, asked that
the suit be dismissed, and said he
would raise the question of whether
the law is retroactive.
A second motion was filed by At
torney Bruce Aitchison, who had been
appointed by Justice Jennings Bailey
to represent j. Ronald Tipping, now
in Florida, who is being sued by Mrs.
Elizabeth Tipping, 1909 Nineteenth
street. The suit is uncontested.
Justice Bailey is said to have APP
pointed Aitchison for the specific pur-
pose of testing the law. Attorneys in
both cases have agreed to argue the
matter jointly. An appeal from JUS
tice ODonoghues ruling, no matter
what its nature, appears probable.

"Eyszy Home Needs a Dog"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-07-25

] It was when Buddy was still half a block from the grocery store that he met a schoolmate, Charley | Wertz. Charley was carrying the tiniest and brightest looking puppy in his arms that Buddy had ever seen.
 l Buddy stopped and petted it. It was all white except for its head, which was black, and a spot right in the middle of one side which was also black, and it's tail and a little place around it which was all black except for the very tip of the tail.
 Would you like to buy .dog?" Charley asked. You wouldn't really sell him 2" Buddy said, unbelieving.
 "Ive just got to. My mother says she just won't have him."
 What would you sell him forf' How much have you got!" l Fifteen cents."
 That isn't very much for a dog like this. It's a bloodhound" Charley said, believing that blood hounds and thoroughbreds were one and the same thing. l But that's all I've got.' Charley had no choice, Is cents was better than nothing, so he took the money, kissed the dog on the nose, and handed him over to Buddy.
 Its name is spotty," Charley said.
 l Buddy hurried home with the dog. It was making funny little squeaking noises. He sped into his mothers room, and then stopped. Mrs. Hunger was there, too. Her hands were folded and her lips were tight. His mother was pack ing their things in a suitcase.
 Mother" Buddy said, unable to contain himself any longer, Hook at the dog I bought. I bought it from Charley wertz for IS cents." l "Well!" exploded Mrs. Hunger. "You can go out and buy dogs but you can't pay your rent. You don't } stay here another minute" His mother looked over at him. Her lips trembled, but she smiled. "Its a very fine dog" she said.
 They were walking along the l SLTeeL HOWs HE HlOIHcT BOAuB SAOW 1y because she had suitcase in one hand and a satchel in the other. Buddy carried a package with some of his things in it, and on top of the package the dog was curled.
 Where are we going now. mother?" Buddy asked.
 TT don't know" mother said. her voice trembling. But we'll find a place."
 "Yes mother" Buddy assented. i've must find a place or where will we keep Spotty?"

 Tomorrow: An old lady's revenge on the daughter.in.law who didn't want her is told in 'sHigh Board Fence," by Joan Schmidt.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-07-25
BY FRANK KERN LEVIN

When Buddy came home from their room again, and it was funny. Mother never used to get home un- til o'clock, and she would bring him candy or a picture book; sometimes she would throw her arms gaily around him and hug him ever so tightly and kiss him again and again. Though he loved his mother more than he could say, his being kissed by her made him feel somewhat ashamed. For what would the fellows at school say if they knew?
 Time and again he determined to say something very pointedly about it. Mother" he would say de- terminedly, {" I'm not a baby any more. I'm almost 12, you know, and it makes me feel ashamed to have you kiss me the way you do. You're not supposed to kiss grown up boys that way"
 But Buddy never did develop sufficient courage. Lately, how ever, it hadn't been necessary for him to speak, for since he had been finding his mother home there were no picture books, or candy, or kisses either, except at night when he went into his little room off hers, and she came in before he fell asleep.
 Mother" Buddy asked as he looked at her, "have you been crying about daddy again?" She seemed to have got over that; it happened so long ago, more than a year ago even, and Buddy could hardly remember it at all. In fact, the only picture that came to his mind now out of the whole thing was when they were standing in the cemetery, and his hand was in his mothers, and the first shovelful of dirt was thrown upon the coffin and his mothers hand trembled so violently. It was that which he re- membered.
 "No, darling, I haven't been cry ing" She smiled, and frightened, and Buddy felt certain he must only have imagined he saw stains of tears on his mothers face. How was school today?" she asked.
 He told her about some of the most important things that hap pened. A boy in the eighth grade had offered to fight the principal and the principal had given him a spanking. A girl in the red-headed teachers room had stolen the teachers lipstick right out of her purse, and would have to bring her mother. Somebody, no one knew who, had run all the water out of the tank with the goldfish in it, and his teacher was very angry. saying it was a despicable thing to do.
 It was later now, and Buddy was beginning to get Hungry. They hadn't been having anything but milk and crackers for the last few days. Buddy wondered how it was, but he didn't say anything because he was somehow afraid it would hurt his mother if he did. But he did wish they'd have something else this time.
 Mother" Buddy asked, Shall go to the store for you?"
 "Oh, yes, darling, of course" She upicked up her purse and took g nickel from it. She seemed to gel quite excited then as she searched about in her purse. Finally, as sh' drew out dime, she sighed, ant handed it to him.
 Here" she said, "get a quart oi milk. That's really the best thing for us with these warm days com- ing on. And get yourself some candy with the pennies that are left over," she added, as she saw the look of disappointment on Buddy's face.
 "Yes, mother" Buddy said and went out of their rooms and down the stairs. He was almost out the
