 His Former Wife
Blighting Frost Not Unusual After May-December Union Judge Says
(By The Associated Press)

--SN~NAN'N>N@
 PITTSBURGH, June 26 A 73- year-old husband who flew to Calif- ornia to escape both his 29 year old wife and his septuagenarian sweet heart in order that he might be with his divorced wife had his day in court here
 In decision replete with poetical figures of speech, Judge M. A. Mus manno ordered George F. Sloan to pay Mrs. Stella Sloan, the young wife $25 week support money. It is not unusual for the phenomenon of May and December wedding to be followed by a blighting frost, the judge said.
 Remarking that the young wife was l7 when she married Sloan, the judge said: Tt was not the eb- ullient spirit of youth that sought to break the bonds which tied it to enfeebling age. Whether it was be- cause of caprice or senile Lothar- ioism, it was the patriarch Who flew from juvenility.'
 The septuagenarian sweetheart was one Mrs. Monroe, the court said, and the divorced wife for whom Sloan deserted his young wife, is Mrs. Anna G. Sloan.

A BOrax Mixture Checks Fires In
 Airplane Mishaps
(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated PreSS)
 NEW YORK June 26, Fire re- sisting, if not fireproof, airplanes will be the rule instead of the ex- ception through use of new coat ing for wings and fuselage, it was predicted by Dr. Gordon M. Kline of the United States Bureau of Stan dards before the paint and varnish division of the American Chemical society.
 Airplane cloth, doped with a boric acid boraX mixture has been found to resist heat to the extent that gas oline poured on it can be burned off without damaging it, Dr. Kline said While prolonged exposure to heat ev entually will ignite the material, sufficient time will elapse to enable persons who might be trapped in planes to escape.
 Cites Costly Destruction
 The destruction of costly aircraft because of the accidental ignition of the fammable coverings by the back firing of the motor, the careless toss of a light match or cigaret, or the chance settling of spark from a nearby flue has become too gener- al an occurrence, Dr. Kline contin- ued
 It became apparent that the pro- blem of developing fire resistant doped fabric could not be solved by the addition of nonfammable rosinS to the cellulosic dopes or by the complete substitution of rosins for the cellulose derivatives in the dope.
 The course of this investigation then was directed toward the pro ducton of an airplane fabric doped with cellulose acetate and fireproof- ed by addition of fire retarding salts, said Dr. Kline.
