Attention has already been call
ed 10 the fact that the law recog-
nizes the inability OF infants to take
proper care OF themselves and their
property, this inability continues In
the contemplating OF the law until
he infant has reached full age.
rxenty-one years OF age Is proba-
alv recognized as the date of abso-
no majority throughout the Unit
"a States
As one pal to another. II would
not be bad idea TO cut this arti-
rie OUT and stick ii in your vest
ket. old hoy. because a minor
may be better qualified TO protect
his interests than a person who Is
of full axe. But this has no effect
v Aaiever upon the legal presump-
t.on hat all persons who are not
81 full age. are seriously lacking
In thai judgment and knowledge OF
the world which enables them TO
properly protect their own inter-
ests A big rusty 21-year-old boy
can give you just about as much
trouble as the little woman.
Void And yoldable Acts
A void act is one which has no
legal force or effect whatever.
while a yoidable one is one which
has some force or effect but which
may be legally annulled or avoided
By the infant. Now pull your chair
close. and light up.
II might be supposed that in all
cases where a contract or agree
ment OF an infant is voidable. II
does not remain binding on the
adult party, but such Is not the
case. II remains binding on an
adult party so long as 1t remains
in an executory condition fhas not
eApired). but the infant may exer-
clse the personal privilege OF re-
cission which the law has intended
TO be for his benefit. and when II
has been disaffirmed by HE infan,.
il is no longer binding on him.

Ill 6cCluS1OH 1OF weeks.
When his will was read Barbara
found herself heir to one-third of his
estate. She went into seclusion for
weeks in the midst of her honeymoon
Her first knight was dead.
After meeting the international
crowd, Barbara had started to trim
down the buxom lines of a well-fed
American heiress. In two years she
lost 40 pounds.
Then she was confined. That was
two years ago. She was to give birth
to son with noble title. Dreams
coming true, we might say. But she
nearly paid for it with her life. She
dipped into violent reality again. For
days she lay between life and death.
Her ever-loyal father fastened to
her side. The great doctors of Eng
land, the most successful obstetricians
were called into consultation. They
knew she could not give birth nor
mally. A Caesarean delivery was de-
rided upon.
Lance Is Born.
So Barbara had the son of the
count. They called him Lance. Even
this name is suggestive of something
III an early romance that his mother
may have read in those little-girl
years
Lance, too, came into a world of
wealth that waited for him. He had
his own flat in the London mansion.
There were three living rooms, and
two bathrooms with heated towel
:ails.
Now the noble strain was estab-
lished. Frank Woolworth's throne
like office had passed from Gothic
embellishments and gilded plaster
into flesh and blood.

New York City, July 14.-One day
after Barbara Hutton Mdivani re-
ceived her divorce decree from Prince
Alexis in Reno, New, she married
again.
This time instead of a sports-loving
prince from the East, she united her
life with that of a sober Dane But
again it was nobility. The dreams of
childhood could not be denied.
This well-behaved man did not go
in for fast horses and fast motor
cars. He had a scholarly disposition.
He was II years older than Barbara,

These sources said this reply was
generally considered unsatisfactory,
since the italian government did moth

because of recent articles in the gov

Defends His
IVA Action
Ousted Chairman Says
His Battle There Kept
Power on an Honest
Basis

Washington, Dec 3.-(AP)-Dr.
Arthur e. Morgan, ousted IVA head,
claimed today his bitter battle over
the basis for yardstick rates had
kent the administrations power policy
on an honest basis.
Morgan told the congressional COM
mittee investigating the vast govern
ment project that David E L'l'r~'',~l
present IVA director, had tried to
force the IVA to accept cost basis
that would destroy any prospects of
fair and honest accounting"
after I fought it and testified be-
fore this committee against it, oniy
then did the IVA come forward with
an honest ALLEGATION of COST" Morgan
said. 1T was only because I refused
to agree to this report to Congress
and the public was so long delayed
Earlier, the IVA chairman charged
that IVA directors were committed to
a policy which endangered flood con-
troll for national defense. Morgan read
long extracts from testimony of Lii
ienthal before the congressional co1a-
mfttee in respect to ALLEGATION of IVA
costs among power, navigation and
flood control
The former chairman said Lilienth al
favored a theory of charging or.ly
"hy-Sroduct" expense of dams to pow
er, while Morgan insisted on consid-
Grafton of power, navigation and
flood control.
