Wife BuIks
Void Divorce
Escape

The United States Court of
Appeals has ruled a Washing
ton executive can not now show
his Mexican mail-order divorce
was invalid in order to escape
all future responsibility to his
second wife.
The courts ruling was made
in the case of Mrs. Mary G..
Sears against John C. Sears,
executive director of the Ameri-
can Gear Manufacturers Asso-
citation here.
Mr.. Sears, according to the
opinion, obtained a quickie
Mexican mail order divorce
from his wife in 1914 so he
could marry again.
He and the second Mrs.
Sears separated after is years,
the opinion said. Shortly aft
erWardS, Mr.. Sears filed suit in
Municipal Court seeking an
annulment Of his second mar
riage, claiming invalidity of
the Mexican divorce.
Mrs. Sears in turn filed a
counter claim for maintenance.
Mr.. Sears won his case and her
suit was dismissed. The ruling
was upheld in the Municipal
Court of Appeals and Mrs,
Sears then appealed to the
higher court.
The United States Appeals
Court yesterday said Mr.. Sears
could not show :" . the in
validity Of a divorce which he
obtained expressly in order to
marry her and on which they
both relied" in their marriage.
The court then ordered a
new hearing in the Municipal
Court to decide whether or not
Mrs. Sears should get main
tenance.

Building Survey
For Academy Set

ANNAPOLIS, July 8 (AP).-
A study commission headed by
retired Admiral Ben Moreell,
the former chief of the Nays
Seabees, will start a survey Of
Naval Academy building needs
next week.
The commission, appointed by
Vice Admiral William r. Smed-
berg III. chief of naval per-
sonnel and a former academy
superintendent, Is expected to
spend about two weeks at the
academy.
The study is designed to de-
termine requirements for a
modern physical plant best
suited to the academy's needs.
The last such survey was made
in 1948 and has served as a
guide in development of ply
sical facilities for the past Is
years.

Begged Pots

Gardeners planning a sum-
mer vacation might well obtain
q package Of the polyethylene
freezer bags so that the house
plants still indoors can be
taken care Of without trou-
bling neighbors. Place a pot In
o bag and tie the top fairly
tightly around the base Of the
stems. This insureS no loss Of
moisture except through the
leaves. Most plants so taken
care Of will keep very well fol
two weeks.
If the freezer bag idea does
not appeal, another pr-ctice Is
to put common bricks in the
bottom Of the laundry tubs
Thoroughly wet them and fill
the tubs to the top level oi
the bricks. Set the potte Z
plants on the bricks, which act
as a sponge holding water tc
the base Of the pots. Mos
potted plants will keep in gooc
condition with this methoc
for two or three weeks,
A third method is to set the
plants in a peatmoss bed ir
a sheltered place in the gar
den. The pots should be buried
to the rim in the peatmos'
and they will stay moist at al
times. Rainfall will usually
maintain the moisture supply
and with the exception of fern
they will often do very vel
for a month or more.
