WEDDED COUPLE’S AGES TOTAL NEAR 200 YEARS Bridegroom in Mexico, Almost as 0ld as the Republic, Takes Bride of 80. Correspondence of the Associated Press. AGUASCALIENTES, Mexico, De- cember 4.—Nicholas Martinez, who 1s almost as old as the Mexican re- public, has taken unto himaelf a third wife, Francisca Quintero.

At best; however, this furnished only partial data as to the stresses which must be provided against in' actual warfare. It 13 noteworthy that the only announcement as to the Wash- ington experiments made by the Navy Department declared ~the expecta- tions of the naval constructors who designed the ships were realized, im- plying that the hull resisted under- water attack to a‘degree that no bat- tleship previously built could have been- expected to do. Protection to Decks. The Washington design also includ- ed additional protective deck con- struction made necessary when the war proved that sea battles could be fought at such extreme range that projectiles would fall from high an- gles. making the’decks of combat ships the greatest danger point. Bombs dropped from aircraft also would be directed at the decks, and despite the added weight and changes in stability that would result, it was obvious that protective decks must be edopted without sacrificing heavy dide armor necessary for protection at shorter ranges with shells coming at flatter angles against the ships’ sides. The protective decks of the Washington were subjected to attack also, both by bomb and shell fire which finally sent the uncompleted hip to the bottom of the Virginia pes Extensive data as to the results of every method of attack employed were compiled by the special naval board which conducted the tests. With this the experts have also data on shell fire against the turrets of the scrapped older battleship North Da- kota, and reports from war days of the effect of heavy gun fire, torpedoes | German | and mines on British and battleships as the basis on which their studies will be conducted to lea up to the first replacement battle ship design. Under the treaty the first replacement ships may be laid down in 1931, to be completed in 1934 ‘RADIO HEADS LIST - OF GERMAN GIFTS Popular Christmas Present | | Sold Even in Lingerie { Shops in Berlin.

FASHION IN JEWELRY CHANGES IN ENGLAND Emeralds and Sapphires Replace | i | Amber and Jade in Popu- lar Favor. Correspondeace of the Assoclated Press LONDO:! nber 29.—Sapphires and emeralds have become t popular jewels, apart from the ever- fashionable dlamonds and pearls, among English women, according to West End jewelers, while for some unaccountable reason there is little call for rubies, and amber and jade have lost much of their popularity of a few vears ago. Flexible platinum bracelets, studded with diamonds, emeralds, sapphires and rubles, are fashion’s latest jewelry fad. Princess Mary is said to have been responsible for the sudden popularity of emeralds. Her engagement ring was a particularly beautiful emerald, and created an immediate and press- ing demand for the stones. Then it was discovered that sapphires com- No bined strikingly with the green jewels, and they also jumped into favor. One feature of the new fads, ac- cording to jewelers, is the passing of the choker necklace of pearls or large metal or colored beads. Ropes of pearls, however, are as popular as ever. ENGLISH IS ADOPTED BY FILIPINO COLLEGE Use of Language in All Classes, Instead of Spanish, Has Been Decided On. Correspondence of the Associated Press. MANILA, November 14—Santa To- mas University, the oldest college un- der the American flag, has decided upon the use of the English language in all classes instead of Spanish, ac- cording to an announcement of Father Manuel Arellano, rector of the institution. The change is to be made early in the coming year, when the university will move to larger quar- ters. The college of engineering is wholly under English instruction at present, and several other depart- ments also are using English. The university also has decided to admit women to all departments. The, college of pharmacy was thrown open to women 1ast June, and the success of the departure has caused the trus- tees to reach the decision to admit women to all departments, including law, medicine, engineering, pharmacy, philosophy and theology, as soon as the institution has become settled in its new buildings.
