Dr. Lanier, father of Sidney Lanier, 111, was quoted in the Macon dis patches as saying he would file pro- ceedings to have the marriage of his gon annulled on the grounds that he was drinking at the time and did not know what he was doing Developments subsequent to the marriage of Lanfer and Miss Lewis last fall created interest throughout the south. The wedding took place soon after they had attended the Gieorgia-Auburn foot ball game at Columbus, and was kept t for a month or more, until the bride made it known that her husband had Jeft for home immediately after, the marriage and had not returned. ‘ourt action followed and she was awarded tempora alimony some weeks ago by the Macon courts in the sum of $40 a month, but Lanier has never paid the money.

In announcing last night the invi- tation for bids, returnable by May 28, the board gave a list of eighteen have been consolidated as those which would be given first consideration in the sale of ships. The board, how- ever, it was said, was willing to con- | sider proposals for other routes to be maintained under the same guar- antee. Retention of ships on routes on which they are now operating also is desired, although the board would permit transfers and selections from the laid-up fleet. No Sacrifice to Be Mnde. No minimum as to tonnace price or period of maintenance was set forth in the board’s announcement. While officials of the board would give no hint as to what general price level they would consider acceptable, they reiterated that there was to be no sacrifice at extreme bargain prices. The government on its part binds it- self not to enter into competition it- self with the routes to be maintained and to protect the operators also in the matter of future disposal .of gov- ernment tonnage to private operation. The consolidation of routes:as an- nounced followed recommendafions of a special committee of the - which the committee declared tial to give operators a wider: range in securing cargoes, and to remove restraints, which in the end aould defeat successful competition - with foreign lines. “The committee,” the report _said, “does not desire to be consideréd as ling the extermination of exis ing smaller shipping organizations by its recommendation that large areas of territory at each end should be covered by a single shipping entity. Need of Consolidation. “It does, however, wish emphatically to point out that the history of skip- ping has shown the need of consali dation. The process of combining numbers of small companies under one control to afford diversification and strength is, and was, the prac. tice of British and German compefi- tors * ® * If the board does not en- courage the amalgamation of iis present operators into _sufficientiy large organizations it will see them defeated one by one. By putting American ship operators under this advantage at the outset, the committee said, they should be able to meet foreign competition without any, form of government subsidy durinig periods of depression and resulting rate wars. The com- mittee expressed itself as opposed to any method of subsidizing under the private ownership plan, asserting that_“any paternalism on the part of the Shipping Board will open the way to endless pleas by the less capable and create those very conditions of interference and artificiality _that mbalka government operation undesir- able.” ‘Women members of the Pennsylva. nia legislature introduced thirty- seven bills during the session which is now nearing adjournment.

Beck, w has esteblished an - enviable remite. tion this vear with the Ram's Head Players, gavé an interpretation which must be described as a triumph. Mr. Beck made the character less ©x. travagant than it is usually played, and his delitate shadings of sentimant were a delight. In the feminine lead Mabel Owens Wilcox's Viola showed improvement over her Rosalind of last vear's performance. She was mbre spirited and masculine than the con- ventional Viola, and was Impressive in_ her sure grasp of the part. Individually the cast did excellent work, especially Lulu G.

Wilcox, as $ir Toby, which departed from the chfr- acter's traditional obesity; Betty Far- rington, as Maria; Walter Berry, as Sebastian, which he made into a réal part, and James O. Porter, dignified, romantic Orsino. i The whole production showed cate- ful study, the “business” being work- ed out in impressive detail. The cofor effects, with the striking Greek cas tumes In white, were pleasing. While there were long walts between scenss, they were entertainingly filled by the music of William J.
