Doctors advised Mrs. Wright against the dangers of another childbirth and Paul Wright made the sacrifice depriving him of parenthood to protect her." He said that Wright, when he saw the woman for whom he had made the sacrifice locked in embrace with his friend, was "knocked unconscious" and he shot them while in that state.

Indiana Judge Wants Law Making It Less Easy to Get Married INDIANAPOLIS, Jan.

27. (U. :.) Circuit Court Judge Earl R. Cox declared today that "under Indiana's law it is harder to get an auto license than it is a marriage license all you have to have is $2." "Some day the state legislature will have sense enough to make it harder to get married," he asserted. "Then couples will have some time to think it over.

These are the real causes of young marriages." The judge's remarks were made as he granted a divorce to Mrs. Mary M. Burk, now 17, who was married to Paul D. Burk, 24, a year ago when she was a high school sophomore. "This is the same old story of incompatibility." he a i d.

"Of course this girl couldn't get along. She doesn't know enough to get along in married life. She is only slightly above the spanking age. The parents obviously were too easy on her." Affairs of Price Estate Carefully Handled During His. Tenure, He Says.

Richard T. Brownrigg, attorney for Freen B. Nulsen during the early part of the latter's guardianship of the estate of Thomas S. Price, told the Star-Times today he was "considerably surprised" by the announcement of the mysterious disappearance of bonds and stock from the estate. Brvnrigg acted as counsel for Nulsen from 1926, when the younger Price was adjudged insane and committed to Glenwood Sani-" tarium.

until 1931, when Thomas Price, widely known grain merchant, died. Brownrigg said that all the bonds and stocks had been accounted for during the time he served as Nul-sen's attorney. Certain securities were bought and sold -by Nulsen with the approval of the Probate Court of Clayton, and exact Inventories were kept of all items composing the assets of the estate, he added. "Hearing about the disappearance of the bonds was like a bolt from the blue," he said. He pointed out that he had also served as attorney for the elder Price for about twenty years, and had become familiar with some of his financial transactions.

"Everything was perfectly regular in the handling of the estate set up for his son," he went on, "and I don't know how this confusion came about." Julius H. Drucker, attorney, last Friday filed on behalf of the estate a final report and inventory at Clayton showing that $100,000 in stocks and bonds were missing. The report, which was signed by Nulsen, declared that he did not know what had become of the that he personally had not disposed of them, and that he had no idea where they might be found now. Nulsen was removed as guardian of the estate last October for failure to file a report on time. After his removal, the county public administrator was named to succeed Nulsen as guardian.

Representatives of the Sanitary Milk Producers today asked the Agricultural Adjustment Administration to set a price of $2.80 per hundred pounds, or about 6 cents a quart for milk from producers in the St. Louis milkshed. During most of the winter producers have been receiving about $2,70 for their Class I milk, which is milk used for bottling. The request for the increase in price to the milk producer was was made at a hearing on a proposed amendment fthe St. Louis milk marketing agreement.

Tl I Mt men wrere laid off at that time because of lack of work. When the union committee, seeking the reinstatement of Olive, came to him, Mabie said that he had referred the incident to Milton W.

Johnson, the plant manager, and that Johnson had gone to the men and told them "as far as I am concerned there are eleven more of you fired." At this point, the witness said, one of the men said that they would know what to do now and mast of them proceeded to the stairway leading to the upper regions of the plant. They weru stopped at the stairway by a guard who told them he was preventing them from ascending for their own protection. Mabie declared that 150 men were standing around and on the stairway ready to throw them out if a sit-dowrn strike was called. Carried No Weapons. The 150 men were all regular Ford employes, he maintained, and carried no weapons.

They were members of the service department and production department. Mabie then testified: "I told Mr. Johnson we hadn't had any trouble in the plant before this and we had gotten along well with the men. Mr. Johnson then said'that he would rehire the eleven men, but it w-as against his better judgment, and we finally decided to put Olive back in a few days." Yesterday Johnson spent the entire day on the stand.

Johnson's testimony was intended to establish that the company had never spied on the organizational work of its employes and had not fostered the organization of any unions. Concerning his knowledge of labor activities at the plant, Johnson asserted that the company never made a practice of hiring outside agencies to learn the feelings of the men. He asserted that he became aware oi union activities through rumor and gossip which was current In the plant. "Filtered Up to Us." "Union activities filtered up to us." he asserted. The witness, questioned by his lit I i A fJ 'At 85 Warning of the prevalence of social diseases was given by Dr.

Otto J. Wilhelmi, instructor at the Washington University School of Medicine, in a talk to the Downtown Ki-wania Club at a luncheon at Hotel Statler today. "Venereal diseases are a social as well as a medical problem," he said. "Their manifestations and peculiarities should be familiar to old and young, men and women, because education is our only hope of eradicating them." Dr. Wilhelmi estimated that from 50 to 60 per cent of all males in the United States have had gonorrhea.

If unchecked, he said it causes serious medical complications, some of them leading to blindness, heart disease, rheumatism and arthritis. Until lately, he explained, the uncomplicated case could be cleared up in six or seven weeks of treatment, but with the use of the new drug sulphanilamide, treatment has been speeded up. About 400,000 patients are treated annually in the United States for syphilis, the doctor said. In St. Louis alone the figures are 200 treatments a day in the Barnes clinic and from 400 to 500 in city clinics, he added.

With the increasing publicity Riven recently to social disease. Dr. Wilhelmi predicted that the public will soon demand authoritative information on the subject. He urged that victims of the disease be kept out of the hands of charlatans and quacks and afforded the best of modern scientific treatment. "If these diseases were not treated behind closed doors, if the secretive methods were dropped, these patients would go into skilled, competent hands." he continued.

"Last year the federal government realized the necessity of combating these diseases and appropriated $8,000,000 for allocation to state and local health departments. Some states require physical examinations previous to matrimony."

Louis milk distributors, asked for time tomorrow to present the distributors' recommendations. In asking for the $2.80 price, Arthur Lynch, secretary-manager of the Sanitary Milk Producers, pointed out that the cost of dairying has increased lately. He listed increased expenditures required to meet the sanitary standards of the St. Louis milk ordinance, the high- cost of feed, and the scarcity of labor and high wages demanded. His arguments were supported by E.

W. Tiedeman, presiderit of the association. A somewhat different price basis was advocated by representatives of the Co-operative Milk Producers' Association of Missouri, and the Square Deal Milk Producers' Association.
