Couple Are in LOue
But The Kid Is
Flat Broke

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 5.-Jackie
Coogan sent his beautiful young
bride home to her mother and
sold out their honeymoon nest be-
cause his hot young pride will not
permit him to be a "Mr. Betty
CRADLE" ''The Kid" of the silent
films revealed today.
The separation of Hollywood's S
handsomest young couple was an
nounced earlier in the week by
Betty's m o Ter, Mrs. Lillian
Cradle,
At the moment Jackie is broke,
but he hopes to be in funds when
suits against his mother and STEP
father for recovery of part of the
fortune he made as a child star
are settled.
Me awhile, the streamlined
Betty is earning $500 a week in the
movies, and the town gossips are
saying her mother has criticized
Jackie, whose only income is de-
rived from an occasional personal
appearance and a rare "bit" part,
for spending too much of Betty's
money.
Betty has helped Jackie over
some of the rough spots since he
found his estimated earnings of
$4,000,000 had shrunk to a little
over 100000 in the name of his
mother and Stepfather, who refuse
to relinquish it. And Jackie hasn't
enjoyed being helped.
Il find it difficult to be the
boss of my home unless I am
able to furnish the finances to
run it," he mourned today. "Unr
til I can be boss I'm not going
to be there. I won't be Mr..
Betty Cradle"
Said Betty:
II love Jackie very much, but
I guess ours isn't the first mar
riage that split up because of
financial arguments. You know
how men are-unleSs they are
earning big money themselves
they feel they are in the way"

BOARD
URGES HIGHER
LICENSE FEES
Opposition to Revenue
Proposal Likely

The Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board today forwarded to the Tax
Advisory Committee recommends
tions for increases in liquor Ii.
cense fees as a possible source of
additional District revenues.
AS outlined by ABC Board
Chairman George w. Offutt, the
schedule calls for increase from
$3.50 to $1,000 for Glass A or off
sale package fee, from the $500
81 900 range to $1,000-$5,0 900 for
Class C or on-sale liquor license
and from 5000 to $500 for Glass D
or on-sale of light wines and beers.
OPPOSITION LIKELY
If the recommendations are
laid before the committee, indica-
tionS at the District Building were
that they would not meet favor
able consideration.
It was pointed out the Commits
sioners must assent to recommen-
dations of the ABC board before
they can be formally taken up.
Apprised of the Offutt plan,
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
said he doubted whether addi-
tional revenue would result. The
tendency of such a schedule, he
said, would be to increase prices
and drive patrons to nearby
States.
REPORT COMPLETED
In transmitting the recommen-
dations to Committee Chairman
Daniel j. Donovan, Offutt esti-
mated the increases would yield
about 100000 additional each
year.
Major Donovan said his COM
mittee has completed its work
and has forwarded recommends
tions to Congress for considera-
tion during the current session.
When the Offutt schedule has
been officially received, Donovan
said, it will be considered as sup
Elementary matter and added to
the proposals already made.

SPIRITUAL SIDE

Gather in Symposium
At Catholic u.

Nurses attending the first sym

University today were told that
"our nursing schools should be
dynamic centers of spiritual
force"
About 1856 persons who regis
tered for the first session today
included representatives in insti-
tutions in nearly dozen States.
THREE-DAY SESSIONS
The three-day symposium deals
with philosophy, religion, ethics
and the social sciences, in connec-
ton with the curriculum guide
proposed for schools Of nursing.
Rev. David v. McCauley, Sd,
Ph.D., dean of the school of med
icine, Georgetown University, in
an address of "the role of ethics"
made a plea for ethics to be
taught in a scientific manner in
stead Of as copybook platitudeS.
Declaring education without
strong foundation in ethics is
incomplete and dangerous" he
urged higher standards and spe-
cialized training for teachers.
SCORES STERILIZATION
Sister M. Virginia Brophy, di-
rector of the Sacred Heart Hos
pital School Of Nursing, Manches-
ter, N. H., speaking on the "Ethi-
cal Aspects of the Problem of Ster-
ilization," said:
"The laws of sterilization are
not wrong because they are con-
demned by the church, but they
are condemned by the church
because they are wrong.
Public opinion has had a
decided turn towards favoring
sterilization as an accepted so
cial institution with the result
that the problem grows more
and more acute"

arations of the Lincoln high Rail-
splitters for their Armistice day
tilt with the powerful Everett
searulls tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock in stadium bowl.
An added inspiration for the
Abe cause came yesterday when
Coach Eddie Schwarz named Ted
Iufer, husky end who broke his
arm on the last play of the last
scrimmage before the opening
Stadium contest, az the honorary
captain for the fray.
Iufer, rugged. soft-spoken
senior, is popular with his fellow
gridders, and his loss was a severe
blow to the Abe cause at the
seasons start.
Last year he plugged along
for over half of the seson with
the reserve squad before he
attracted the notice Of Coach
Schwarz. He ended the year
by starting the traditional
Thanksgiving day game with
Stadium, and was slated to
be one of the stalwarts on the
line.
Chief worry of Coach Schwarz
now is the condition of his stellar
fullback, RUDE Nelson. Nelson
came down with heavy cold
Wednesday and will be in poor
condition for the fray. If he is

will be handled by Johnnie john
