Thousands Swarm
Continued from Page One)

small groups Of neighbOrS stood by
poWerless to do anything about the
slide, which some estimated as NOV
ing at the rate of about foot an
hour.
AS the earth moved down toward
the highway huge waves of dirt and
sod lined the hillside. Observers
standing among these upheaVals,
imagined they could actually feel
the earth moving under their feet.
Trees and bushes cracked and
snapped as the slide twisted at their
roots.
Engineers have expressed the
opinion that should the slide reach
the creek bed, it would create dam
that would back the waters over
much of the surrounding land.
A large spring was opened Wed
nesday by the slide. The pipe in the
we'll at the Mincks' home was
broken by the movement Of the hill.
The rear wall of his cave house
directly in the rear of the home was
beginning to Crumblc. And all the
time strip mining operations atop
the hill continued uninterrupted.
H. M. Wells, of Caldwell, field
man for the Pcrmian Oil & Gas Co.,
has inspected the slide daily.
He reported to the Marietta office
of the company that he estimated
the slide was moving about SIX
inches an hour. 1t was his belief that
it was a surface slide and would
move across the highway. Unless
the slide is deep enough to tear out
the highway. Wells thinks the com
pany's gas lines will be safe. How
ever, he said he was keeping a con-
tinual check on the progress Of the
slide
Watt Ullman, maintenance engi-
neer for the state highway depart
ment, after inspecting the slide Sat
urday said the highway was not IT
any danger at the present time.
The home of Earl McAtCe, which
he purchased year ago from Virgil
Carrcl, the garage operator, was re
ported to contain a large amount Of
lumber in the attic. Observers sale
it was to dangerous to attempt tc
remove the lumber, since the found
alton is badly damaged and the
dwelling is in danger of collapsing

IBeaII Would Outlaw
Breach Of Promise
Actions in District

| Breach OF promise suits would be
barred in the District under a bill
introduced In the House by Repre-
sentative Beall Republican, OF
Maryland.
Banning such suits for breaking
promise to marry was proposed, the
! legislator said. because I consider
the abolition of these actions in the
best interest of society"
THE law allowing suits for breach
of promise" Mr.. Beall pointed out,
has been abolished in many States
among them California, Indiana
Michigan, New Jersey and New
York. Some States have declared
that the law allowing such suits has
been used as an instrument of black
mail and fraud, and that grave
abuses of the law have resulted In

Marriage is an institution of the
utmost importance to society" he
declared, and should be entered
into in good faith and only after
careful consideration. Even where
there exists an engagement to
marry 1t is better for the engage
ment to end If one of the parties
loses the desire for the marriage.

publicity which might result from
a broken engagement and q suit

breach of promise to marry is in
furious to the institution of mar
riage.
in many cases where suits for
breach of promise to marry are
brought, no engagement ever
existed. But engagement or no en-
gagement, I feel that the passage
of the bill will prevent grave in
justices being done in the name of
the law"
The measure was referred to the
House District Committee, Of which
Mr.. Beall is member. He conceded
that the bill has no chance for pas
sage during the closing days Of this
session of Congress. But he plans
to reintroduce it next year.
