Sea Forces of U.S..
Observe Navy Day


WASHINGTON, Oct. 81 U.P)-
The American navy today opened
it's doors and lowered its gang
planks in all ports where naval
ships are stationed or wherever
naval establishments are maintain
ed to show the American people
something of what they get for the
$500, 100000 spent annually on the
navy.
This is Navy day." the anniver-
sary Of the birth of Theodore Roose-
velt, who is popularly considered
the father" of the modern Ameri-
can navy. For the 18th consecu-
tive year the navy held "open
house" for American citizens.
Observance of Navy day this year
was given special significance be-
cause of unsettled conditions in
other parts of the world, of the i'm
minent lapse of the Washington
and London naval treaties, and the
resumption of capital ship building
by all the major powers of the
world. The United States expects
to lay the keels of two new battle
ships early next year, and it is an
ticipated that Great Britain and
Japan will do likewise.

Strolls Thru Hollywood

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 81. W.P)-The
great American motion picture"
may emerge from a burning rag,
tub of perfumed bathwater, a
family quarrel Or a Ribald verse if
it is written according to the &C.
centricities of some screen writers.
Even actors and directors, whose
vagaries often startle the public,
regard writer's as bit odd.
The late Edgar Wallace was head
of the rug-burning school of seen
ario plotting. Until the day of his
death he refused to allow his studio
to lay a new rug in his office.
Throwing cigaret butts on the
carpet and watching the Goals eat
through the nap helped him think,
he explained, and to burn a new
rug would not only outrage his
economical Scotch nature but would
completely wreck his train Of
thought.

COUNTRY LADS
TAKEN IN BY
CITY SLICKERS


PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 26 W.p)-
A disillusioned, 32-year-old, "coun-
try boy" headed back into the
desert today, burdened with the
knowledge that he and his 30-year-
old brother should have listened
to nav"
Crisply and not unsympathetical-
ly Phoenix police had told him a
few hours before that the two girls
he and his brother married after
whirlwind, ore-truck courtship,
already were married and one had
children back in Missouri. 1t was
this humiliating knowledge of hav-
ing been "taken" that he had to
disclose to his brother and parents.
The police. who kindly guarded
the young mems names under the
pseudonyms of Elmer" and Ike"
said this is how it happened:
The brothers left their fathers
mine, in the desert near Aguila,
last week end with truckload of
ore for mill at Globe.
AS they drove through Temple,
they picked up two girls who were
"thumbing" rides. The acquaint-
ance blossomed swiftly, so swiftly
that Elmer, the elder brother, and
the eldest girl, 10, were married by
superior court judge at Globe.
The younger brother, Ike. and the
youngest girl 18, came to Phoenix
and were married.
Proudly, the two took their new
wives to their family's home. The
girls protested. They didn't want
to live way out there in the desert.
they said. They wanted bright
lights and people. The brothers Of
fered to rent them a house in
Aguila, the nearest town. (Aguila's
population, 1880 census, was 40
soulS)
The two brides couldn't see this,
either When their new husbands
weren't watching, they packed their
clothes and started down the high
way.
However, a sister of the bride
groomS saw her sisters in law"
and telephoned Elmer at Globe. He
caught up with the girls at Miami
and started them back for Aguila.
In Phoenix, they slipped away from
him and went to police. WED
rather 60 to prison than have to
live out there in the desert" they
announced, succinctly.
Elmer, after searching vainly for
them, also went to the police. He
opined maybe the officers would
know something about them. They
did. The girls told them, they in
formed the questing man, that they
left Joplin, Mo-, a month ago on a
hitch-hiking trip. Elmer's bride ad-
mitted she had a perfectly legal
husband whom she married in Mis-
souri, in 1882.
Ike's charming bride, the 18-year-
old one, confessed she had three
children, two of them twins, and
husband, currently in the Missouri
State prison.
Inspector E. C. Moore, who heard
the girls and Elmer's stories, told
the humbled man kindly, You and
Ike shouldn't have married girls

Yeah" said Elmer, that's what
