Bluffton High Trounces st. Rose,
5O-22, For Sixth Straight Victory

Three Bluffton cagers paced the
scoring assault of their team. Fred
Hermann had Is points; Deppler got
IL, and Burkholder made IL. Blust
was high for st. Rose with 13.
In closely-contested reserve con-
test Bluffton seconds topped st. Rose
reserves, 36 to 32, for their sixth
victory. Bluffton led IL to at the
quarter; Is to II at halftime, but st.
Rose was in front, 20 to 25, at the
third quarter.

Cage play this week finds both the

Two contests are scheduled for

least for the winter.
Merely turning off the engine and
locking the doors of the car being
laid up may result in considerable
deterioration or even a ruined auto
mobile, according to tips released by
Ford Motor Co. officials.
All parts must be protected, in
cluding body engine, battery, radia-
tor, brakes, clutch and tires.
Here are the recommendations for
storage of cars in private garages,
where skilled mechanics are not
available to relieve the. motorists of
their responsibility
Storage should be in a clean place
with reasonably cool, even tempera-
ture. Direct sunlight should be
masked out by covering windows, or
the entire car should be covered with
paper.
The car should be washed to re-
move grease, oil, tar or mud which
may injure the finish. Windshield
wiper blades should be removed, ex-
posed metal surfaces should be
touched up to prevent rust, and all
upholstery should be cleaned and
moth-proofed, then covered to pre-
vent fading.
Chrome-plated surfaces should be
washed, then coated with light oil or
wax. Hood latches, hinges and
brake connections should be lubri-
Gated with light oil and all doors,
windows and ventilators should be
closed securely.
Engine oil should be drained, and
the crankcase reflled with one-half
charge of rust-inhibiting oil. Then
the engine should be run for five
minutes at idle speed. Spark plugs
should be removed and two ounces of
rust-inhibiting oil injected. The
starter should be stepped on to turn
the engine over slowly for few
revolutions to let this oil work in.
The gasoline tank should be drain
ed and the filler cap replaced to
prevent rust, and both ends of all
main fuel lines should be disconnect-
ed and blown out with an air hose.
The gasoline then may be expelled
, completely by working the accelera-
tor or pump lever by hand. To drain
the fuel pump remove the screen and
washer holding the cover to the
upper body, and then open the fuel
pump drain plug. This will remove
any water which may have gathered.
To keep out moisture, the engine
should be sealed by placing waxed
paper over tubes and pipes after the
engine oil filler tube cover and
crankcase breather cover are remov-
ed. Air cleaner and tail pipe also
should be sealed.
| The battery should be removed
and stored in a cool place after all
connections have been cleaned and
coated with light grease. The bat
terry should be checked every month
| or oftener when the temperature is
above 80 degrees. The radiator and
heater should be drained and plugs
left open.
Wheels should be lacked up to
protect tires, and air pressure of
one-t third to one-half normal should
be maintained so the car can be
towed or pushed easily in case of
fire or other emergency. The lower
ed pressure will relieve the tension
in the cords of the tires.

Hitler Death Unimportant,
Dutch Envoy Declares
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BATON ROUGE. La, March l3.-
Whether Hitler lives or dies is un-
Important because the German ma
ton is the real enemy of the Allies,
DR.. Alexander Louden, Royal Meth
erlands Ambassador to the United
States, said here yesterday.
DR.. Louden with his wife visited
the State Capital and were shown
through the State House by Cover
nor Sam Jones. The Ambassador
was the featured speaker last night
at a conference of Louisiana college
officials on the State University
campus.
At press conference DR.. Louden
declared the Dutch are now in the
hands Of a criminal nation" and
said the Germans apparently are
carrying out a program Of planned
determination Of the Dutch, par
ticularly the intelligentsia."
The tall, broad-shouldered Am
bassador said Hitler's death could
in no way affect the present war.
2 There is no doubt in my mind, .
ne said, that Germany is criminal
nation, and one thing We have to
guard against in our thinking after
the war is that Germany is a poor,
1rnisled people. 1t is not Hitler we
are fighting but a marching Ger

Episcopal Commission
Proposes Changes
In Marriage Canons
Would ALLOW Guilty Porty
In Divorce for Adultery
To Be Remarked
By the Associated Press.

BY me Associated Press.
BUFFALO, N. Y, March 13.-The
Joint commission on holy matri-
nony Of the Episcopal Church to-
day proposed two tentative canons.
one of which would eliminate the
present provision that only the in
noCent party in a divorce for adult
cry may be gwen permission to
remarry.
The commission, appointed by the
Episcopal Church general conven-
tion in 1910, said in memorandum
it believed marriage ceremony
does not necessarily make a mar
riage, and that where there has
been no marriage in the sacra-
mental sense, because of inSurmount-
able defects of personality, the
parties to the failure, under certain
conditions, may be married to others
by the church"
The Rt. Rev, Cameron J. Davis of
Buffalo, Bishop Of Western New
York and chairman of the commits
sion, said the preliminary report.
40 iloo l'SSCeSdlAly lllt lIlldl uUR-
ment of the commission, but is put
forth to elicit suggestions from the
church at large"
Convention to Get Report.
The final report will be submitted
to the general convention at Cleve-
land in October.
The proposed changes would eX-
tend to both parties to a dissolved
marriage the right of remarriage
under prescribed circumstances. The
present canon stipulates that only
the innocent party in divorce for
adultery may remarry, providing
that the application for remarriage
is approved by ecclesiastical author
ity and period of not less than one
year shall have elapsed after grant,
ing of the divorce.
The proposed canon states any
person whose marriage contract has
been annulled or dissolved by civil
court for any cause may, after ex-
piration Of one year from such an
nulment or divorce, apply to the
bishop for permission to marry. The
bishop then shall associate himself,
If possible, with the pastor of the
petitioner, q lawyer and a psychi-
ARTIST or physician and investigate
the case.
Sets Up Conditions.
eff the bishop finds that the
former contract was not marriage
as our Lord taught marriage to be-"
the canon continues, "and that the
causes of marital failure were (a)
existence of any of the impediments
specified or (b) the existence
of abnormalities. defects, or defic-
iencies of character sufficinet to
prevent the fulfilment of the mar
riage VOWS, or Co the existence of
irremediable mental, moral or spir-
itual deterioration or incapacity, the
causes of which were latent before
