LL0YDS NEAR
DIVORCE

The Demarest Lloyds, long
prominent in the Capitals social
circles, have come to the parting
of the ways, and divorce action
may be brought, Mrs. Lloyd ad-
mitted today.
Mrs. Lloyd has left the family
home at 1925 r St. N. w. and is
at the Wardman Park Hotel. Mr..
Lloyd is out of the city.
For some time it has been
rumored that the Lloyds were on
the verge of separating, and
several months ago Mrs. Lloyd
went to Reno. but she returned to
Washington without any action
having been taken.
Today, however, Mrs. Lloyd ad-
mitted that she may bring action,
but denied reports that she was
going to Europe and would seek a
divorce there.

CATION who have lost their lives
in the line of duty"
On the wall in ]. Edgar Hoover's
reception room in the Department
Of Justice Building in Washington
hangs a bronze plaque with the
above inscription. Below are the
names of nine agents and the dates
Of their deaths. In the FBI files
are accounts of how they died.
But what Of the wives they left
behind?
OF the nine agents killed, eight
were married and, with the ex-
ception Of one, fathers. Being a
Oman may seem thrilling to the
average person, but to the insur-
ance companies he is q risk they
do not care to assume. In fact re-
Gently, insurance companies re-
fused to insure special agents at
any price. Lately, however, two
companies have accepted members
Of Mr.. Hoover's personnel-at a
premium so large as to be almost
prohibitive. And every time there
is a raid or a gun battle or some
public enemy has been captured
the premiums rise.
So, widows of Federal agents,
unless they have independent in
comes or families to support them,
are faced with the responsibility
Of not only earning their own liv-
ing but supporting their children.
Under the Employees Compensa-
tion Act they receive pensions of
$6l.25 monthly and $3.50
monthly for each child. When
Agent Raymond ]. Caffrey was
killed in the Kansas City massacre
in June, 1888. Congress appropri-
ated $4,000 for his widow and
child. Since then the widows have
been getting lump sums of $4,000,
but it is only courtesy" appro-
priation and can be withdrawn at
any time.
The role played by a G-Man's
wife is similar to that of the ply
Sician'S-only more difficult. Fifty
per cent of the time her husband
is out Of town; he is invariably
late for dinner and often he
doesn't get home at all. If he takes
her to the movies he has to leave

Findinq Pearls

The Bureau of Fisheries says
that saleable pearl has never
been found in an edible oyster.
The bureau points out that pearls
are formed either by an injury to
the oyster or the introduction of
some foreign matter through the
shell where a pearl develops by
a process of irritation. Pearls of
value are found usually in warm
Pacific waters, but the oysters
from which they are taken are
not edible. p thfnder Magazine.
