There is mno reliable “estimate of how many Americans have their family ties broken over here, gince the records are supposed to be highly ‘confidential, The number of American lawyers pros- pering in Paris would seem to in- dicate 'a high rate of family bank-j ruptcy among the tourists. It is quite seriously contended that American divorce cases clog the courts and cause much ex- pense. It is supgested the tax might be very high because Ame: ican divorces are reported to bring lawyers here fees as high as $10,- 000, which to the French is a quarter of a million francs, pr 1oved School, lipstick Conte 1y he Junior was rer High from Los ivat John F.

A short distance away, lay Walter Sharland, po- liceman, seriously wounded. Be- tween them was Sharland’s pet poodle, dead. Mrs. Irene McArdle, a neigh- bor whom Mrs. Quinlan called in for protection when Sharland telephoned he was coming, hiding in the bathroom of the apartment when the tragedy occurred, said Sharland appeared with a gun in one hand and his poodle in the other and said: “I am going to kill you. have not treated me right.” Mrs. MecArdle said Sharland grasped the woman by the arm, pulled her into the foyer and a moment later she heard a shot and a scream, followed by other shots.
