Grand Jury Completes
Work For Present Term

At the time of the completion of
such repairs, q survey, inspection
and thorough examination of
said building.
The Key West Junior-Senior
High School building we find to
be in good condition with the ex-
ception of the electrical wiring
along the foot lights on the stage
IN the auditorium, which wiring
we believe unsafe. We recon-
mend that this part Of the cleo
trical installation be renewed
andlor repaired so as to make
same safe. We further recon-
mend that the doors to the toilets
be changed so as to eliminate pos
sible accident which may result
from the way the doors now
swing.
We find the building used for
i school on Big Pine Key to be
satisfactory.
| Our investigation of the build
lngs on Marathon used for school
purposes makes US conclude that
same are inadequate and not
satisfactory. Marathon is grow
ing community and in our opinion
would justify special effort to
provide better school buildings.
But if because of financial in
ability the school authorities are
unable at this time to erect or
acquire better buildings for
school purposes, it is recon-
Inended as a temporary method
to provide better housing for the
schools, that the matter of rent
ing space for school activities be
considered. However, this Jury
expresses its appreciation to
those who have furnished the
premises now being used for
schools at Marathon. And like
wise expresses appreciation to
those who have furnished the
school premises at Big Pine Key.
The school buildings at Mate
cumbe and Tavernier are new
and in excellent condition.
We find the school building at
Rock Harbor to be in satisfactory
condition.
We understand that the school
buildings are equipped, where
required, with the prescribed
number of fire extinguishers, but
we wish to recommend that the
schools be supplied with a gem
erous number of fire extin-
guishers for better protection.
In this connection we also wish
to suggest that at least one fire
extinguisher be provided and
maintained in each of the chemi-
cal laboratories in the schools.
It has also come to our atten-
ton that in the City of Key
West School Zones" have been
and maintained in the
streets bordering the schools, and
that these zones are adequately
indicated to traffic by signs or
devices placed in the streets dur
ing school hours. However, the
schools inspected BY Us outside
of the City of Key West either
have no such school zones estab-
lished and indicated, or if estab-
lished, such zones are not suffi-
or conspicuously marked
by signs or devices which readily
catch the attention of traffic.
Therefore, we recommend tfat1
this matter be given considera-
ton and that the conditions in
this particular be improved.
We wish to thank the Court,
its officers, and other officials for
their courtesies and assistance TO
us in the performance OF our
duties.

GLAM0R GIRL SEEKS DIVORCE;
 CHARGES MADE
Fay Wray Received No A. feCtion from U. of w.
 Graduate, She Says

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 31.-Millions of men film fans may think of beau teous Fay Wray as their dream girl.o And they may even hope some day to marry a girl like her.
 But married life with the glam- orous Miss Wray is a dull and mon- otonous life--or so her husband thought.
 The noted actress said so in di- vorce action she filed against John Monk Saunders, the able writer of splendid film romances.
 It was bad enough that Husband Saunders, graduate of the University of Washington, should think such ungallant thoughts. But when Saun- ders. who was also Rhodes scholar, went so far as to voice his opinion many times about the monotony of his married life, La Wray complain ed.
 Called Unr0mantic
 The petite actress went on to tell how unromantic was her writer hus- band who authors so many sweet and domantic stories about love for the movies, but didn't show so very much love as the man around the house, she alleges.
 The lovely Wray shook her thick curls and protested that Saunders, one of Hollywood's highest paid au- thors, told her in the presence of others that he didn't want to live with her and would rather she'd leave.
 He nagged, tormented her and said he was sorry he'd married her, she says.
 Unromantic
 Altogether, Miss Wray rather thought that Author Saunders was "surly, sarcastic and ungentlemanly' in his attitude toward her, particu- larly, she said, on the many occas- sions when he became enraged.
 The actress continued to say that several times III the past year Saun- ders has been away for days and weeks at time and gave no ex- planation.
 He also thought she had him tied tco much to her apron strings and did not give him the freedom he desired, Miss Wray lamented.
 Adding all this up, Mss Wray said she wanted custody of daughter Susan Cary Saunders, two; share in the community property. and $5,000 as a fee for her attorney.
 Late in the day the court granted Miss Wray temporary custody of her daughter pending the outcome of divorce litigation.

sissippi levee and landowners took some of them back on land they had left.
 The leaders were unable to say exactly what they wanted, except to point significantly to the La- forge, Mo. Federal farm experiment nearby, where Uncle Sam is re- habilitating tenants on long term loan basis.
 Officials may solve the immedi- ate Missouri problem. But, unfor- tunately, they aren't apt to make a dent in the great. vicious circle of cotton. Cotton bankruptcy has been averted in the last four years of surplusage only because the Federal Government has tied up $400, ,000, ,000 of taxpayers money in cotton loans, and because it has been writing benefit checks at the rate of $2oO,- 100000 a year.

CAPITOL COMEDY IS SPONSORED BY
 MARTHA SOCIETY
The First 100 Years Shown Here for To-
 night Only

Breezy in story, in movement and in the delineation of it's characters, The First Hundred Years" now screening at the Capitol, playing for tonight only, and sponsored by the Martha Society of the Northern Light Presbyterian Church, wins rating as one of the best-told come dy narratives of the season, timely, convincing and thoroughly enter taining.
 The comedy combination of Rob- ert Montgomery and Virginia Bruce is sure-fire, Montgomery never hay ing been better than as the boat de- signer who can't persuade his wife, Miss Bruce, to give up her job as theatrical agent to make home for him. That the star can turn from a Night Must Fall' to the domestic high comedy of such pictures as Live, Love and Learn" proves him one of the most versatile actors in pictures.
 Miss Bruce, given her best oppor- tunity to date. handles her part with assurance, deftness and her accustomed charm. If anything, hers is the most difficult character ization. The smooth touch of the two leads is amply complemented by Warren William as Miss Bruce's business partner.

Maybe Birih
 Dates Cause 1. <, Of Divorles
By HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE
 AP Science Editor

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, Jan. 31. Ninety days may be bad interval to have between birthdays of hus- band and wife.
 This idea comes from a chart of HOO couples whose divorces came to Major John A. Hadaller, attor- nev here, or to his friends.
 The chart showed most of the di- vorces punched under four groups of birthdays, when these dates were ar- ranged according to the interval separating them. The longest pos sible interval is little more than 180 days, or half year.
 For these, HOO couples four in- tervals were bad, namely, 45 days, 90. 135 and 180, and of these 90 was much the wrost. Four other inter- vals were good, so favorable in fact that they contained barely over 100 of all the divorces The favorable intervals were 30, 60, l20 and 150 days.
 The "influence" of these good or bad date peaks extended for a few days on each side.
 The 90-day peak not only exceed ed all others in number, but study of the records of divorce seekers in that group showed more intensity of conflict and of emotion than in any of the other high divorce frequency peaks.
 The 90-day group including five days on each side, showed a history of quarreling soon after marriage, and in some cases before marriage. The persons in this group, unlike any of the other combinations, re- fused to credit the other partner with any virtues whatever.

gross income of the lower rungs on the cotton ladder.
 9. Mechanization of cotton farms is gaining ground gradually but surely, especnally on the big cor- poration plantations.
 3. The governments cotton acre. age reduction program also is re- ducing the number of tenants re- quired each year, leaving more of them to roam the countryside as day laborers.
 4. Farm owners are tempted to do away with tenants and sharecroppers and turn today laborers in order to keep all their Government benefit checks. The law now provides that checks must be shared with tenants or croppers, unless the local AAA committee agrees to allow farmer to switch today labor. The local committees naturally are filled with owners.
 From the landlords point of view
 1. The total average income per plantation in the cotton belt is ex- treemly low, no more than six per cent of the total investment, leaving plantation owners themselves an av- craze of only $850 clear for their  years labor. And what years labor a plantation requires from an owner 1!
 2. Nearly one-half of the land lords in the South have long term debt ranging well over 40 per cent of their holdings.
 3. Interest rates on short term loans run extremely high on sea- sonal basis, 10 per cent on Govern ment's bonds, IS per cent on bank loans and IS per cent on merchants accounts.
 4. Marginal owners are constant ly losing out in the scramble for sur vival, and are joining the share cropper groups in ever increasing numbers. Thus they can't pay wage rates standard elsewhere in the na- tion.
 Bankers and merchants also have their sad stories. Tenant agitation is a natural by-product and like wise, landlord resentment.

 But what attracts your attention and holds it is the honesty of these pictures. The photographer hasn't attempted to shock anyone. He hasn't posed or "colored" his sub lects. He has taken them as he found them a couple at Coney Island, a Hudson Street boarding house, a coal dock worker, bat tlefield monument at Vicksburg, an Arkansas flood refugee-in fact, America. It is published by the Museum of Modern Art and the result is something that will hold anyones attention for long while.
 It was so unexpected and so amusing that you couldn't get over it. There was a group of people, probably 50, in front of a theater. Down the street came an ancient colored man, rattling pair of bones and dancing jig. A huge grin lit up his countenance as he continued his dance past the thea ter, past the crowd, clear on to the corner. But what "got" you was the way he held to his tune when someone Tipped him a half dollar. He didn't even look at it, just let it lie on the sidewalk. It was strict ly his party and he kept it that way.
