Andrews married his first wife in Maine in 1912 and his second wife in Connecticut in 1921. A charge of bigamy,can be pressed only by the state in which bigamy was committed. And Con.’ necticut has a statute that holds that a bigamy has not been legally committed unless a bigamous marriage has been consummated within Connecti- cut, As far as Connecticut is concerned, Andrews has only one wife —the one he married in that state. True, Connecticut has issued a warrant charging Andrews with bigamy and perjury, but lawyers say that the bigamy charge won’t hold. This situation again shows the need of uniform marriage, divorce and bigamy laws in the vari- ous states. Ever notice how happy a clothes-presser looks on a rainy day? What’s one man’s meat is an- other man’s poison. TAKE FIVE A DAY. Plenty of men and women spell cat with two “t’s” and suffer embarassment thereby. Teachers tell us this deficiency is due, frequent- ly, to method of teaching, rather than lack of school opportunities. Now comes Prof. Van H. Smith of the Burling-| ton, N. J., public schools with a plan to revive the “Jost art” of spelling as Webster does it. Four Burlington grade‘ school pupils, trained so, out- spelled every high school opponent in a county contest. “Five words a day is a spelling lesson,” Smith says. Concentrate on a few words at a time, in- stead of spreading all over the dictionary. One word, if difficult, is enough for one lesson.” The average college student has a vocabulary of only 3,600 words. The average person ambles through life with 1,000 or less. Smith’s five-a-day plan will give a grade pupil command of 5,000 words in five years, he says. Spell it orally, write is and pronounce it. That! fixes the word in your mind. Try it. Advertising has been known to ruin a business; —when the advertising was done by its competi- tors. YOU, YOUNG MAN, CAN DO AS WELL Do you gather too many “goat-feathers”?
