 for Chinese Divorce

SHANGHAI, China, August H. Sage Chinese judges here have just ruled that a man has no right to sell or divorce his wife merely be- cause she is ugly.

 Now he must either remarry her or provide for her support. The case is complicated by the fact that the first husband already has taken a second wife.

GARDEN CITY, N. Y, Oct. s.
U.P)-Hell on wheels!
That, to come right out and say
so, without benefit of dashes or
asterisks, is. what the 300-mile
Vanderbilt cup race here Monday
is going to be.
1t can't miss. l know, because
I've seen the track they're going
to send the boys out on. There's
never been anything like it. 1t
makes any other track in this
country seem as tame as a one
way, tree-bordered street through
a park. Even the most hazardous
European circuit forget its name
but it's the one which winds diz-
zily through the Alps-is child's
play beside Roosevelt raceway.
This business out here is four
miles in length, and save for a
seven-tsnths of a mile straight
way, it dips and darts and bends
and doubles back and doubles back
again like a crazy serpent. It's
a murder maze, a looney labyrinth,
where the only hitch-hikers are
death, destruction and disaster.
Hot Field
Even with a slow track the race
still would be hell on wheels, for
the field is the hottest ever to
gather for the starting flag in this
country. All the members in good
standing in the American suicide
club REX Mays, Babe Stapp, Wild
Bill Cummings, Tony Gulotto, to
name a few will go to the post,
and they will be in there cunning
against the best in Europe, includ-
ing Tazio Nuvalori, the mad Itai-
ian with the surgeons touch.
Yep, that's right-the surgeons
touch. Nuvolari's got it. More
than his nerve, more than any
thing else, that delicate touch OF
his made him the worlds champ
ion at motor racing.
I watched the italian qualify
in his devils red Alpha Romeo
yesterday, and 1 watched from the
most appropriate place-the run
ming board Of an ambulance park
near a double IS" curve. The
internes were playing double sol
on the stretcher inside when Nu-
volari started, but the first time
he nit that double 81, and the
tires sang their whine Of misery,
they came outside and stood ready
for duty.
Nuvolari topped all previous
qualifiers with an average of just
a shade under 70 for five laps.
Unless you've seen the track that
might not sound SO fast. But
one look and it not molly seems
fast, but impossible. Nuvolari did
it by hitting around $50 on the
brief straight-away, and taking
the curves like a man possessed
OF the devil.
Surgeons Touch
It was on the curves that he
showed his surgeons touch. He
wasn't accustomed to the surface
OF the track, with it's thin and
treacherous layer Of gravel. They
don't have that sort Of thing in
Italy. Neither do they have such
unholy curves. But his driving
was the most perfect of a day
filled with magnificent driving.
With me were three or four Am
lsrican driwers-driverS who are

EFFORT MADE
FOR CONTROL OF
SIGN TYPES

Efforts to improve the appearance
of Main street by controlling the
types of signs used by business con-
Germs. were launched by city coun-
cilmen at their session Wednesday
night.
Councilmen declared the appear
ance of the whole street frequently
Is ruined by the erection of signs
and markers. They also pointed out
that the effect of expensive and
artistic signs installed by other mer-
chants often Is spoiled by their
neighbors' bad taste in color and
design.
Appeals to the civic pride of GER
tain merchants and plan to study
the problem further, ended the sign
discussion.

NEW GARBAGE
PACT FOR CITY
TO BE CHANGED

The new garbage collection con-
tract TO be let by the city OF FL Cen
tro November /. will embody i'm
provements and additions designed
to improve the conditions and ap-
pearance of streets and alleys in all
sections of the city.
Three collections of garbage each
week during May, June, July, and
August will be required of the col
lector While bi-weekly collections
will be permitted the remainder of
the year.
Councilmen wednesday night de-
cided to include in the contract the
provision that the collector also pick
up all trash accumulations in the
city and be responsible for the con-
ditions near the garbage and trash
containers. The collector will be
expected to clean up any spilled
refuse or garbage, councilmen de-
clared. This was declared to be
the only means of eliminating the
constant battle as to the respon-
sibility for the appearance of the
alleys.
Early morning collections in the
downtown areas also will be pro-
vided for in the contract in the
sections dealing with pick up sched-
ules.
Trash containers used by busi-
ness houses were described and
Philip w: knights, city engineer,
reported the progress made in the
design of a type hoped to eliminate
the scattering of papers and boxes.
