II is. of course. better for a
girl of forty to marry man of
twenty-then they'll reach sixty

Court was brought by the brother
Samuel j. Rounds, a mechanical
engineer, and sister. Miss Elizabeth
w. Rounds, 1922 Forty-frst street
NV, teacher in the public schools,
asking that the missing brother be
declared officially dead and that a
receiver be appointed to distribute
personal property valued at about
81 300 and his interest in the house.
The United States Attorneys
office, however, is proceeding on the
theory that the missing brother still
is living. To back up this theory
they have informed the court a
man of the name, A. D. Rounds,
applied for = position in Dayton,
Ohio, in 1914.
Handwriting Compared.
To further substantiate the theory
the missing brother still is alive,
Assistant United States Attorney
Daniel B. Maher yesterday produced
a handwriting expert who testified
that handwriting on the application
for job made by the Mr.. Rounds
in Dayton is the same as handwrit-
ing in a diary kept by the missing
brother.
Justice Matthew F.. Mcclure has
the matter under advisement, but
meanwhile he continued the case for
30 days to see whether social security
records. may be produced to shed
further light on whether the missing
man is alive.
Miss Rounds said last night both
she and her brother, Samuel j.
Rounds, hope the missing brother
will be found alive. Mr.. Rounds said
every effort has been made to locate
him.

Christmas carol

Brooklyn was holly divided last
week over an order by an assist
ant superintendent of schools
banning the use of Christmas
carols or decorations with relig-
ious significance to any one faith
in the public schools.
The New York state knights Of
Columbus council, strangely 81
lent on civil liberties issues here
tofore, rushed into the b title
screaming:
"It's an insult to all Christians. !"
Mayor O'Dwyer, wet his finger
to determine which way the wind
was blowing, and said he'd look
into the matter.
In the shuttle, everyone seemed
to forget that dusty document, the
Constitution of the US, which
says quite specifically that there
shall be- a separation of church
and state in these United States.
Meanwhile, the whole issue of
religious instruction in the schools
was being argued last week in
the Supreme Court. To be de-
cided was the Champaign, ILL.,,
case in which a mother argued
that her son has been ostracized
at school because he did not at
tend religious instruction classes
which are an official part of the
curriculum.

The New York City charter is

vacancy has been created in the

After the recent death Of Peter

cal writer, as his successor.
Last week, the Democratic lead
ers in the council said they would
refuse to seat Gerson, basing
their argument on the shabby
technicality-too much even for

Spinners Move Away
With 6 To 5 Victory

Increasing their lead over the
dropping Wilmington Pirates to
seven full games, the Sanford
Spinners gave Fourth of July no
tice to the other seven teams in
the circuit last night by taking an
other game to hang up in the vic
tory column. They beat the Dunn

lost a 1853 SUGGEST to Clinton.
Lumberton blanked Selma-Smith-

Hank Nesselrode's 10th home run
of the season in the fourth inning
with none aboard was the only
earned Sanford tally in their IS
win over the Twins. But eight err
rors gave the game to the Spin
ners. Frank V%inajereas gave up
only six hits to the league leaders,
while Dunn-Erwin got IL off John
McFadden.
Ken Jackson, Twin right field
err, drove in four runs and put his
team ahead with a. two-run single
in the third. The Twins added an
other in the sixth, and were on the
long end of a 80 count, going into
the eighth. But Dunn-Erwin COM
