GHOST DIVORCE
CASE POSTPONED
Judge Wants to Go On His
Vacation - ShO=Sha
May Be Found
BY ARTHUR WHITNEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

(Unlte0 fTeSS 0tdA OUAICSpoAuCnV
Los Angeles, Aug. 1-(UP)-Sho-
Sha, the ghost DR.. William A. Boyce
accuses of stealing his wife'S love,
was clark like a Spaniard ad very
handsome
This, DR.. Boyce testified yester-
day, had been his wife's enraptured
description when she visited Ma
dame Loretta Julian four years ago
and heard the spirit voice coming
from floating trumpet"
"She said that Sho-Sha told her
he was a great teacher and her
soul-mate, to boot. That they would
meet after death and go through
eternity together" he declared.
In passing, DR.. Boyce said he
wanted to mention the attraction OF
"spirit-guided" but earthly alchem-
ish for his wife. He wanted to bring
in the alchemist, he explained, be-
cause his wife had charged that
she had been accused falsely OF hav-
ing a romantic interest in humans,
as well as ghosts.
Made Diagnosis
"He made his diagnosis by en-
speeding the teeth alone" said DR..
Boyce. "And since Mrs. Boyce wore
an upper and lower plate, couldn't
see much sense in 1t. But she in
sisted that take her back for more.
"I told her at the time thought
it was because she was infatuated
with the fellow. He was tall dark
and handsome. But she was con-
WINGED he was guided by the masters
in his practice Of medicine and
insisted on visiting him, claiming
that the visits were merely for pro-
fessional purposes"
Her enthusiasm for the Alchemist
ante-dated that for Sho-Sha.
Mrs. Boyce, he testified, thought
she had seen Sho-Sha in human
form when they went to Mount
Shasta, "a rendezvous of spirits and
their masters"
1--WE went to Mount Shasta to-
gether and she told me she had
seen Sho-Sha in human form. I
went out into the patio, where she
was supposed to have been drink
ing beer, because I wanted to see
what the fellow looked like, but he
was gone"
Skaters Spiritualism
Dr.. Boyce said his wife's infatu-
alton for the Alchemist had shat
tered his faith in spiritualism.
"I told her I was through with
spiritualism,' he testified. 81 said
that if a spiritualistic force could
cause such a rift as it has between
myself and my wife, was through.
"I also said that if a soulmate is
such pernicious spirit that he will
come back and break up home on
earth, I didn't have much use for
him and didn't want a soulmate
myself"
Madame Julian also had weakened
his faith in spiritualism. DR.. Boyce
said she always incarnated him as
a person of low character"
Mrs. Boyce rested her case yester-
day, and when DR.. Boyce finished
his description Of Sho-Sha, Judge
Clement D. Nye continued the trial
until September 3, while the court
takes a vacation.

City Lacking Civic
 Pride Says Pastor
Rev. Dr.. Walker Tells ParishiOners No Sane Man
 Would Call Waterbury City of Righteousness

You need to know the other half of the world lives, you need to know something of the laughter, the tears, heartaches and tragedies and friumphs of life for the people who have to live, temporarily or mayhap permanently, on the lower level of the economic scale," stated Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, pastor of the Sec ond Congregational Church, in his sermon yesterday morning entitled, The Men of God and the City of Time
 Dr. Walker said in part: Not the least of my privileges and oppor- tunities as a graduate student of divinity at the University of Edin- burgh was thechance to live and work in New College Settlement house in the heart of the clums. The tourist who spends few days in Edinburgh making the rounds of hte places of literary and historic interest in which the grey old city abounds may leave without as much as realizing that there are any sluns in this glorious old city. But just as New York has its Bowery and the lower East Side and Lon- don its Whitechapel Road and its East End, so Edinburgh its Cowgate and its Pleasanoe. The name Pleas ance" for a street sounds attractive and picturesque, but I can assure you that the surroundings of New College Settlement at 48 Pleasance were anything but attractive. If you were brought to the place blind- folded at midnight the sounds and the smells would soon give you an unpleasant indication of your gen. eral location.
 Yet maintain that the months I spent in Settlement and as As-

sistant Chaplain at nearby prison were part of my education. And Now College Settlement had strange and wonderful spirit which per- meated every. one of the manifold activities were carried in the Settle ment and in the district. I may say that on one occasion we carried on an evangelistic mission in our church hall and built up the atten- dance and interest by street parades and by addresses on the street cor- ners and in the nearby market places.
 So this morning at this Protest ant Mems Communion Service I salute you-"Hail, Men of God" We recognize our common failings and shortencomings. We know our weak nesses and limitations all too well. None the less, we are called to be "The Men of God in this City of Time" Waterbury. our city, the city for which we must bear our share of responsibility, is city of no great reputation if we us that word in terms of good reputation. We lack in civic pride and in public spirit. We see much that ought to be changed and altered, regenerated and made new. Our debts are large and our tax burden is heavy, but our moral obligations of our relig- ious burdens are far greater. No sane man would call Waterbury "a city of righteousness. The kingdom of brotherhood does not hold sway here. We then, as representatives of the Protestant churches in this city, are called of God to witness for civic righteousness and saving truth and community good will and brotherly service.

Questions and Answers on Legislation
Providing for SeIective Military Service

you are too Ill to answer questions,
you may register upon recovery. A
special registrar may be appointed
in your district to visit homes of
sick men. Best policy is to notify
your nearest registration board of
your illness.
I'll be out Of the city on October
16. Where can I register?
Wherever you happen to be on
that day. Your registration card
will be sent to your home district.
I live in a nearby county but want
to register in Washington where 1t
will be more convenient because Of
my job. Will this be permissible?
Only If you are unable to return
to your home In time.
I work in Washington but my
home is In California. II l register
here, will I be compelled to serve
with troops from this locality instead
Of from my home State?
No. If you are here temporarily
that Is, not employed in Washington
for year or more-your registra-
ton card may be sent to the place
where you maintain a legal resi-
dence. If you are selected for service,
you will be assigned to troops in that
area But you'll be compelled to pay
the fare to reach your home after
you are notified of your selection.
This would apply only if you actually
remain a resident in another State.
Are workers in any particular in
dustry exempt from service?
No. The Conscription Act pro-
vides: mo deferment from train
ing and service shall be made in
the case of any individual except
upon the basis of the status Of
such individual, and no such defer
ment shall be made of individuals
by occupational groups or of groups
of any individuals in any plant or
institution"
This means that all workers in the
Washington Navy Yard, or any
other industry, are not exempt
simply because of their place of
employment. Each worker will be
