Judge Pays Debt
For Girl; Flays
Unwedded Couple
“111 pay the measly $2.50 the girl
owes you out of my pocket.” Cor
poration Judge A. A. Browne roared
Tuesday to a quaking pair before
him. ‘And furthermore I'm getting
sick and tired of you people who are
not legally married coming here be
fore me. It's disgusting and dis
graceful. See that you never come
into my court again.”
A preliminary hearing In the case
brought out that the young girl
owed the woman $230. The girl de
clared th*t «he was unable to pay
the debt at present.
The woman and her common law
husband went to the girl’s house
and demanded the f2.50. A fight
was said to have ensued. The girl
said the couple threw rocks at her
house afterward.
The woman had hired an attorney
to represent her. The judge pointed
out that if the woman was able to
hire an attorney she didn't need the
$2 50 very badly.
He ended the case In his court by
paying the $230 himself.

By inXIAN CAMPBELL
Can a girl who is a good dancer
be a good cook at the same time?
In other words, can the mistress
of the terpsichorean art. who is
necessarily nimble with her toes,
handle her hands with equal dex
terity when the omelet is puffed
and brown and ready for folding
and the bacon done to a turn?
The Oklahoma Agricultural and
Mechanical college, Stillwater, has
the answer. Five married co-eds
who are celebrated for their toe
dancing are said to be excellent
cooks.
Ths husbands of all five. Mrs.
George Elledge. Mr*. Juanita Morey.
| Mrs. Martha Danford, Mrs. Millicent
'Miller and Mrs. Paye Tucker, at
tend the same school and thrive on
their wives’ culinary exertions. In
each instance these husband stu
dents are at the head of their
classes, and in one instance the hus
band is the leading track man of
the college.

distinctive tire covers would be an
effective method. Efforts will be
made to find a way to finance a
publicity campaign of this sort. It
was pointed out that numerous in

panies. chambers of commerce, rail
roads. etc., would probably co-op
erate in the plan.

COMMISSION TO
BEGIN ITS TASK
National Law Enforcement
Body Called On For
'Greatest Services’
WASHINGTON. May 29.—(AP*—
Called upon by President Hoover to
perform "one cf the greatest ser
vices to our generation." the na
tional law enforcement commission
today stood at the threshold of Its
tremendous task of finding out the
facts and causes of public disobe
dience of law end formulating
recommendations looking ^ im
provement.
Stating “prohibition Is only one
angle of our work," Chairman Geo.
W. Wickersham asserted after the
initial meeting of the commission
yerterday that if it found any law
unenforceable it would so report.
Pressed for a statement as to
whether the scope of the commis
sion's authority was broad enough
to enable it to find the prohibition
laws unenforceable, Chairman
Wickersham. a former attorney
general, declared it was “intellect
ually possible, but. I might add.
improbable. The attitude of the
American people toward law Is not
bounded by prohibition.”
“My ideal.” he said, “is to have
the organization of law such that
it will make It impossible for a
person to violate the law without
being speedily brought to book.
Pres. Hoover told the commission
“the American people are .deeply
concerned over the alarming dis
obedience of law. the abuses of law
enforcement and the growth of or
ganized crime which has spread to
every field of evil-doing and in
every part of our country.”
The problem, he said, is not con
fined to the enforcement and obe
dience of one law or the laws of
the federal and state governments
separately, but “is partly the atti
tude toward all law.”
“It is my hope.” he declared
“that the commission shall secure
an accurate determination of fact
and cause, following them with
constructive, courageous conclu
sions which will bring public un
derstanding and command public
i support of its solutions.”
