New Papal Currency
The Vatican state is putting into
circulation the new coins bearing
the head and armorial bearings of
Pope Pius XII, together with the
year of his election. In all other
respects these coins are exactly the
same as those minted for the papacy
of Pius XI. The minting of the Vati
can currency is regulated by a spe
cial financial convention with Italy,
concluded in August, 1930, and rati
fied the following January. The Vat
ican coins are of the same value,
material and dimensions as the Ital
ian coins, the only difference being
in the minting.
Soldiers' Pension System
The soldiers’ pension system is a
development of comparatively re
cent times, although the personal
pension—an award made on a spe
cial basis—was known even in the
time of the Roman empire and waa
chiefly in the form of grants for
military service. The number of
such pensions was so large that Sul
ly in the Sixteenth century included
their reduction as a part of his plan
for economy. The Plymouth Pil
grims had a regulation in 1636 pro
viding for a pension for maimed
soldiers.
Chinese Reading Taboos
Chinese consider reading in the
bath unpardonable because “the
written language, having been in
vented by a saint, Chong Chieh, is
sacred, and because it is composed
after the style of the great sage,
Confucius,’’ says a Chinese colum
nist. Reading in bed, he adds, ia
also considered improper, though it
is not quite so serious an offense
as reading in the bath.
Court Sets Aside
Marriage in 1911
Of First Cousins
Rules Indiana Contract Is
Invalid Under Laws
Of Illinois.
CHICAGO.—The 29-year-o’d mar
riage of Arthur Spencer, 52 years
old, and Mrs. Jane Spencer. 72. was
annulled by Judge Grover C. N;e
meyer in Superior court. The judge
upheld Spencer’s contend on that he
ar.d his wife are first cousins and
that therefore their marriage m 1911
was invalid under Illinois law.
The clinching ev.cence in the case
was a will written by Mrs. Spencer
m 1935 and introduced by Attorney
Irving Eisenman, counsel for Spen
cer. In this document, Mrs. Spencer
said: “I leave my estate to my
cousin, Arthur, to whom I entered
into a marriage believing it valid.’’
The judge held this was proof that
she knew of the close blood rela
tionship.
Read Letter of Uncle.
Also introduced was a letter writ
ten by Benjamin Supree of New
York, who said he was an uncle of
the Spencers and deplored the court
controversy. Supree’s letter said
he was a brother of the fathers of
Mr. and Mrs. Spencer. (The Spen
cers’ name was originally Supree.)
Spencer asserted in his annulment
suit, one of the most unusual ac
tions ever filed in Cook county, that
his father and Mrs. Spencer’a fa
ther were brothers.
“On the witness stand Mrs. Spen
cer showed a lack of knowledge of
the family relationship,” Judge Nie
meyer said, “but it is hard to be
lieve that a woman, who otherwise
appeared so capable, could have
that lack. Notwithstanding the long
time this couple lived together as
man and w’ife, there is no alterna
tive under the statutes but to grant
an annulment.”
Violations of Illinois Laws.
Mrs. Spencer denied that she was
her husband's first cousin, but con
tended that even if she was the
court should not dissolve the mar
riage because Spencer was an ac
tive participant in violating the In
diana state laws when they were
married in Crown Point. At that
time he w as 23 and she was 43.
Although the marriage was in In
diana, both the Spencers resi
dents of Illinois, and, due to the
comity of states, Illinois laws con
trol Illinois residents even in out of
state marriages.
Mrs. Spencer’s petition for tempo
rary maintenance was also dis
missed by Judge Niemeyer. Spen
cer said that under a separation
agreement last June he had already
paid her $27,000. Mrs. Spencer lives
at 3501 Jackson boulevard and Spen
cer, a retired clothing merchant,
lives in the Stevens hotel.
Faithful Dog Saves His
Master, Hurt in Desert
SYDNEY, N. S. W.—Water soaked
up in a flannel shirt, carried from a
waterhoie by a dog. saved the life
of James Donald. 56, a kangaroo
shooter marooned in the Central
Queensland desert.
After crawling half a mile with
his right leg fractured, caused when
he was thrown from his horse, Don
ald lay for several hours 400 yards
from the waterhoie, with the tem
perature at 114 degrees in the shade.
His dog went to the waterhoie, lay
dowoi in it and then returned to him.
Taking off his flannel shirt, Donald
tied it round the dog and sent the
animal to the waterhoie. When the
dog returned Donald squeezed the
soaked shirt and obtained enough
to ease his parched throat.
Donald was found several hours
later calling deliriously for water.
He said that he owed his life to the
dog and the flannel shirt.
Rings Fire Box to Report
Theft and Is Arrested
NEW YORK. —Albert Lass’ deci
sion to report a S2OO robbery at Dis
trict Attorney Thomas E. Dewey’s
office in the early hours got extraor
dinary results. When the 55-year
old suit designer found the office
closed, he turned in a fire alarm
and was greeted by:
Four fire engines, two hook and
ladder trucks, a water tower, two
battalion chiefs and a deputy chief,
three police patrol cars and & squad
car full of detectives.
“Where’s the fire?” Patrolman
William Carolin asked.
“There is no fire, I just wanted
to see the district attorney,” was
the reply.
Lass was booked on * charge of
sounding a false alarm.
Tm a Burglar, Won’t Yon
Please Come and Get Me*
CLIFTON, N. J.—The desk ser
geant at police headquarters rubbed
his eyes twice at 3:15 a. m. when a
voice on the other end of the tele
phone wire said nervously:
“I’m a burglar and I tried to rob
Roy’s Clam Bar. Roy caught me
and he’s making me call you up.
Will you please come and arrest
me?”
Police found Roy Dalrymple with
■ shotgun and his prisoner, identi
fied as Anthony C. Ochab, with
hands high in the air. Dalrymple
explained that, robbed of S2O a fort
night ago, he had been awaiting the
intruder’s return. He even had
nickels on the counter for the tele
phone call.
