BABY PATERNITY
DISPUTED POINT
in DIVORCE SUIT
Broker Accuses Wife
Of Misconduct

CHICAGO, Aug. 10 (C.TP.S0.
The paternity OF a baby girl, less
than a month old, arose today as
the chief point of contention be-
tween Mrs. Verna G. Kuehn, and
her husband, Edward C. Kuehn,
a real estate broker, who is suing
her for divorce.
The baby, Patricia Anne, was
born July 16, entering the case as
surprise factor. Less than a
month before at another hearing,
Kuehn had offered testimony that
his wife, who is 80 years old, was
guilty Of misconduct with a Mil
waukee man at their summer home
near Mercer, Wis, last September.
Asks Paternity Ruling
In an amended bill, Kuehn asked
the court to determine the pa.
ternity of the baby. He alleged
that the last time he and Mrs.
Kuehn lived together as man and
wife was last August 8. They have
two older children, Elsie, 8 and
Charles, 6.
Judge Joseph B. David con-
tinued final ruling until August
%, when both sides will present
written arguments on the question
Of paternity of Patricia Anne and
custody of the three children.
Physicians to Testify
In the absence of conclusive
proof to the contrary, Judge David
said he would rule that Kuehn is
the baby's father. Kuehn'S law
yer, Benjamin S. Letter, said at
the next hearing he would sum-
mon physicians to testify it was
physically impossible for Kuehn to
have been the father.

theory is that
Frank M. smith the country
is better off when they are not
in session.
Senator Bilbo is the first legis.
lator who has touched on that
question for some time. Said
he:
81 am willing to stay here
until Christmas Eve in order
to give the farmers the legis-
lation to which they are en-
titled and which will insure
their relief.
Senators are amply paid
for their service to the people,
$4,000 a year. and we are
paid by the month, and our
constituents are entitled to
our time, and I mean all the
time. I am willing to sacrifice
my personel pleasure and
comfort and business that I
may do my best for my con-
stituents by staying here all
the summer and all fall, al
though 1 may not be able to
earn my compensation"
Even with this bold assertion
guess the members needn't
worry over much since they are
the ones who decide how long
they shall work and what their
own salaries shall be.
Senator Tom Connally is an
other who announces that he
is able and willing to give the
farmers their due, but he ad.
mits freely that he would much
prefer to be some place else in
October than in washington.
He mentioned 6 few places like
Europe, Nevada. the West, etc.
But in his list Of preferences
he omitted one that is very close
to the heart of one of his col
leagues. So, up jumped Sena-
tor Bob (What could be finer
than to be in North Carolina)
Reynolds, with this Interrupt
ton:
II hope the Senator will not
overlook the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park of
western North Carolina?"
And not to be outdone by this
quip, Senator Connally replied:
"Mr. President the noun
tains are the only things that
are smoky in North Carolina.
The eminent Senator has
none of the qualities that go
along with the Smoky Noun
tains except charm and de-
ligh Il personality"
Now let's shake hands all
around.
Representative Joseph Shan
non of Missouri has a couple of
suggestions for Bernard Baruch,
who is reported to be unoffi-
cially entering into negotiations
for this country with Great
Britain over the war debt.
First, Mr.. Shannon observes
in the vernacular f the sports
man:
IF Englp d had engaged
a game of African golf and
had thrown a snake eye or box
car and then refus to settle
I'D. she would have been for"
ever barred as a welsher from
all other respectable games.
Oh, even in the great Ameri-
can game of poker. if 7 1gland
has reneged. she would not
have been admitted to future
games"
So he suggests that Barney"
as he calls him, should take
along to England with him q
hard.boiled constable to seize
any property he could get his
hands on, like the crown jewels;
or, better still. he suggests that
the next time the Quee' Mary
docks at New York she ought
to be seized. as well as the
Normandie.
Mr.. Shannon says his ideas
spring from the fact that he is
an "old-ttme bill collector"

BEST TO AVOID
SUDDEN MOVES
DURING WINTER
Advice Sent Out By A Chevrolet
Bulletin In The Interest Of
Traffic Safety

The proper technique of safe winter
driving rests primarily upon the a.
voidance of quick, sudden moves OF
any kind, according to bulletin is
sued by Chevrolet this week in the, in
terest of traffic safety under hazard
GUS road and weather conditions.
Modern motor cars are engineered
for year-round operation, the bulletin
states, and the driver who takes full
advantages Of their engineering re-
finements can reduce driving hazards
to a minimum. The principal source
of such hazards lies in poor tire trac-
tion on icy pavements where safe
driving depends on the avoidance OF
any abrupt application of either the
power or the brake.
Some of the points stressed in the
bulletin are:
"A good driver uses second speed
extensively in stopping, in approach
ing intersections, and in turning cor
ners. With the sycro-mesh transmits
sion, it is simple and easy to shift
to a lower speed and maintain control
of the car at all times. Another i'm
portant point is to leave the car in
gear when slowing down so that the
engine may act as a brake.
Cultivate the habit of giving other
drivers ample notice of your intention
to stop, turn, or slow down." the bull
letin continued. "Even though you may
have your own car under perfect con-
troll, the driver behind you may not be
so fortunate. Never permit the wheels
of your car to spin if it can be avoid
ed. Spinning wheels may cause dan
gerous skids, and if they come into
contact with spot of dry pavement
and thus gain sudden traction, heavy
strain is placed upon the propeller
shaft and rear axle.
Good visibility, always of the ut

driving by the use of defrosting units
which are available in several forms

at moderate costs. Chains add trac-
tion in snow, but they should not be
relied upon to take the place of SEN
sible driving as guard against skid
ding.
Besides making for greater high
way safety, these suggestions will pro
long the life of any car if they are
followed the year round. Proper care
in cold weather adds immeasurably
to driving pleasure. The engine
should never be raced, because lubri-
cants flow more slowly when the en-
gine is cold and the stress on engine
parts is increased"

BENJAMIN'S AT
SALISBURY IS
NEAR FINISHED
American Architecture Followed
Rather Than European
MOdernistic Ideas

Seasoned mercantile people observing
the new Benjamin store at Salisbury
in the last stages of completion, call
it the finest looking women's store in
the States. They declare that this
has been made fact by the wisdom
of Mr.. Benjamin in going back to
traditional American architecture
rather than in following exaggerated
European modernistic ideas.
The front of the building was work.
ed out for Benjamin's by Edwin Will
son Booth, Salisbury architect, in a
modernized Grecian facade of Indian
limestone, Virginia serpentine stone,
and aluminium trim with terrazzo
lobby floor.
Interior walls have been removed,
floors leveied and a massive steel
frame work installed by Charles E.
Brohawn & Brother, General Contrac-
tors.
The street floor is finished and
trimmed in bleached mahogany. Of
fices have been removed from this
floor and there is a beautiful balcony
rest room and powder room. The
first floor is covered with rubber tile
and there is ceiling of sound absorb
ing panels.
On the second floor there is dra-
matte amphi-theatre effect, a curving
wall of display cases concealing an
ingenious arrangement of attractive
fitting rooms, mercantile stockroom
and alteration shops.
The second floor is deeply carpeted
trimmed in tropical Prima Vera wood
and the ceiling on this floor too is
constructed of sound absorbing panels.
The second floor annex, like the
main building, has been entirely done
over. The infants and childrens' de-
partments are in light green Prima
Vera, and the boys and prep depart
ments are in American mahogany.
The annex, through its ultra modern
design, will hold a strong appeal for
young people.
The installation Of elevator service,
with the newest type of self leveling
equipment, offers easy access to the
second floor and the new third floor.
On the third floor will be located the
offices of the store as we'll as a num-
Der of new selling departments.
An entirely new section has been
added to the rear of the building and
the total floor space of the store has
been nearly doubled.
The store is air conditioned through
out by the Cannon Electric Company
of Salisbury. The store has been
completely rewired by the L. w. Gun
by Company of Salisbury.
Among the many new features and
equipments are a new tube system to
provide quick service, new sprinkler
system, all new lighting fixtures. The
plumbing and heating are by Lewis
Morgan & Son of Salisbury. James
Posey was the consulting engineer.
Benjamin's have been occupying
temporarily Salisbury store on South
Division street in the Gunby building
formerly the temporary postoffice.
Mr.. Benjamin states that even in this
temporary location, operating under
many restrictions, the store has done
a record business. He and his or
ganization look forward eagerly to the
formal opening Of the new store which
will take place on the evening of De-
cember 1st. No merchandise will be
sold during this formal opening, and
Mr.. Benjamin expects to be visited on
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1937-11-26

this occasion by thousands of his Eas-
tern Shore friends, as well as a num-
ber of out-of town retailers.
Mr.. Benjamin emphasizes that his
store owes it's success to the loyalty
of the Eastern Shore people which it
has served and employed for twenty
two years, and declares that he ex-
poets in a few years to find himself
again crowded for space. He believes
that the Eastern Shore has a splendid
business future, and in addition to
developing his fine store in Salisbury,
Mr.. Benjamin has a number of other
Eastern Shore business investments.
