FIVE DIVORCES ARE
DECREED BY COURT

Continued from page oneJ
Turner. Kate Montgomery Oates
from Frederick B. Oates. and
Matte Wilson from Sam Wilson.
Plaintiff took voluntary non
suit in the case Of Doris Meyer
against Oscar Meyer.
The court declared non-sult
and the decision of the supreme
court recorded in the case of Otis
V. Powers, administrator of Ethel
Jane Chapman, against S. Stern
berg and company and Taft Wal
lace.
When heard, the plaintiff was
given $4,000 damages for the
automobile accident death of Miss
Chapman near Mountain Home
during the latter part of 1886,
but the supreme court reversed
the decision of the lower court.
In the hearing yesterday after
noon on the Silverburg injunc-
ton, the plaintiff was represent
ed by l.. B. Prince. The defend
ant was represented by Assistant
Attorney General l.. o. Gregory,
of Raleigh, and M. M. Redden,
who represented a number of To-
cal merchants.
Silverburg was arrested some
time ago on charge of offering
iewelry and silverware at auction
in violation of the state law. The
case was sent to recorders court
by Mayor A. V. Edwards and is
now pending.
In civil action, the plaintiff
named the insurance commission
er, charged with collecting the
tax, as defendant and obtained a
temporary injunction restraining
interference with the auction sale
before Judge j.. Will Pless, Jr., at
Marion, on August d.
The temporary order was made
returnable here yesterday, and
in the order vacating the injunc-
ton, the court held that the plain
tiff had not shown that he would
suffer irreparable damage for
which he has no adequate remedy
at law, that the plaintiff may, and
properly should, test the constitu-
tionality of the law, that he has
an adequate legal remedy, and
that the statute on it's face is not
void and unconstitutional.
The court ordered that the tenn
porary order be vacated and dis
solved and that the defendant be
returned $500 deposited and a
$4,000 bond filed.
The deposit and bond had been
required in the temporary order
by Judge Pless.
The law provides that an auc-
tioneer of jewelry and silverware
must post a bond of $4,000 and
pay fee of $500, and be resi-
dent of the state for the past two
years.
The court in its decision held
in effect that the plaintiff, being
a nonresident, was not entitled
to qualify under the law and
could not post the required fees
and conduct an auction sale.

Invade Ciudad Real for
First Time Since Span
ish War Began

HENDAYE, FRANCO SPAN
ISH FRONTIER. Aug. 16. (UP)
General Gonzalo Queipo de Ilano's
southern insurgent army yester-
day drove across two parallel
mountain ranges 100 miles south
of Madrid and carried the civil
war into Ciudad Real province for
the first time since it's outbreak
more than two years ago.
The five-mile drive across the
mountain peaks, led by fierce
fighting African Moroccan cav
airy, brought Queipo de Llano's
army to within 10 miles of AL
MAIDEN, the worlds richest mer-
curry mining region.
Farther north another insur-
gent army under Ger. Juan Sail
quet headed toward Almaden by
way of Herrera along the highway
from Madrid to Seville.
Queipo de Llano's army halted
along the banks of the Rio Zuzar
in order tc let the northern col
umn strike closer to the mining
basin.
Facing both armies are large
forces of loyalist guerrilla war
riors determined to defend Alma
den and the city of Ciudad Real,
38 miles farther east, at all costs.
Insurgent dispatches admitted
government resistance was grow
ing sitter.
Squads of conscripted workers
were building Notifications around
Ciudad Real under orders from the
loyalist Gen. Jose Miaia.
Until today Generalissimo Fran
cisco Francois forces have been
unable to enter Ciudad Real pro-
vince, the rich capital of MAN
cha" that was Don QuiXote's mag
mary homeland.

Turning Sea Fowl
Into Nitrogen

ONG before the Spaniaros de
- scended on South Amei ica the
Peruvians knew the value O.
guano as a fertilizer. Probably
as early as the 18th century the
Incas carefully collected these ex.
crementitious deposits OF the pell'
cans, cormorants, ganncts, pen
gums and petrels along the coasts
and islands. Frequently they
found these deposits contained the
remains of the sea fowl themselves
as we'll as of seals, walruses ano
other animals.
Alexander Won Humboldt irsi
brought specimens Of guano &c
Europe in 1904 and had them
analysed. The guano consisted
essentially of heterogeneous anc
phosphate compounds. Certain
of the Peruvian guanos contained
as high as ID per cent Of nitrogen
The most noted deposits Of guane
are those of Chincha and other
islands off the coast of Peru.
So guano became the first artl-
fetal Re. tilizer to be used in large
quantities, and the remarkable re-
suits obtained established the In
dustry. 1t reached its height, how
ever, about the middle of the las,
century. Guano beds have de-
clined since, and other fertilizers
have been introduced Today,
from the islands in the Pacific,
Peru obtainI about 100000 tons
OF guano annually. The industry
is marked here on a Peruvian
postage stamp portraying the
suano sea fowl.

ALUMINIUM PAINT

A LUMINUM paint is coming into
 "A very general use as priming coat on bare wood, to be finished with any kind of oil paint or of enamel The liquid part of alumni mum paint is varnish. which for sat isfa ction, should be of high quality; for outside work, spar varnish should be used The aluminium is in the form of flakes of fneness that is suited to the work. Alumi mum paint should be mixed as it is used. and to make this possible manufacturers supply it in double can. the lower and larger part of the can containing the varnish and the upper and smaller can, the dry aluminium powder. The proportion is about two pounds of the powder to the gallon of varnish.
 When aluminium paint is applied, the metal flakes float to the top of the film of varnish. After harden ing, the varnish is thus covered with a thin sheet of metal. and it is this that gives aluminium paint it's use

 Now. of course. if they were at their ordinary best. they'd realize that no woman IS going to hang around a department store after the salesgirls have left. They'd see that there was no sense to waiting, and go off and have a sandwich But somehow men never seem to be their brightest in department store foyers.

fitness as an undercoat- The life of paint depends on the hrmness with which the undercoat is at. tached to the surface to which it is applied. The loosening of paint is due to the breaking of this bond. The ultra violet rays of the sun are destructive to the oils in paint. and are one of the causes of paint fail, ure. With the first coat of varnish protected by it's surface of alum, mum, the bond is given a much longer life than when it is exposed to the destructive violet rays.
 Aluminium being opaque. this paint is excellent for first coat when a surface that is dark in color is to be repainted lighter color, or white. The aluminium will hide the dark tone, and one coat of paint on top of it may be sufficient to give the desired results With ordi. nary paint, at least three coats will usually be needed to hide the dark color underneath.
 There is great difference in aluminium paints. and it is always well worth while to get a high grade. In manufa cture. aluminium flakes acquire fine coating of grease, which if not removed will prevent their close bonding with the varnish The color will then be gray In high grades of aluminium flakes or powder. the grease has been re.

Crawford found job in Kansas City department store as a stock girl at $10 per week. working dur ing the day and practicing dancing at night.
 Finally a theatrical agent found a job for Joan in show which failed a month later. leaving her stranded 300 miles from home. Coura geous- ly, she found job after job in cab arets and night clubs ip Chicago, Detroit, and New York. She was working in Shubert show, Tn nocent Eyes," when a Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer executive saw her and signed her for pictures.
 Think of the troubles this girl had, the disappointments and struggles. Born in the atmosphere of show business, she was inspired from the time she could first toddle to find a place for herself in that glamorous life. Then, circumstances took a hand and forced her into occupa. tions that were far more on the side of drudgery than glamour. She plugged lines into a switchboard, washed dishes. swept floors. car. ried heavy trays. wrapped pack ages. But through it all. she kept her confidence in herself.

At the age of seventeen. he joined the under ground dock workers of Baum in riot and when the terrorist Bol- sheviks were formed became active in their movement. While attend ing a Bolshevik party conference in Stockholm, in 1905. he met Lenin for the first time.

With Lenin and Trotsky, he took over the government of Rus sa in October, 1917. After Lenin died in 1924, Stalin supporters ex- fled Trotsky and through ruthless executions made Stalin dictator.
