Secretary Wilbur conferred at some length with President Hoover before leaving. and also had several conferences with_Commissioner Moore of the Gen- eral Land Office. While the general outlook for a suc- eessful conference was considered good, the Secretary left behind a suit in the | District of Columbia Supreme Court filed by Ethel Molennan of McKitterick, Calif,, who is seeking to force the In- |child.

June 7.—Joseph Carmel, Calif writer and lecturer, was named de- fendant. in a divorce suit filed here by Mrs. Leonora Steffens. who charged ex- treme cruelty. Steffens is 63 years old. | The wife is said to be in her 30's. | Mrs. Steffens. whose pen name is| Ealls Wimter. said her husband objected to her attending dances and prevented her from having normal social relations. She also asserted he was lacking in affection and had told her he cared nothing for her. | Steffens several months ago published | A magazine article on “How It Feels to Be a Father at Sixty.” The following | month, Mrs. Steffens was the author of an article on_"How It Feels to Be Mar- ried to an Old Man.” The two were married in Paris in 1924 and have one cisco in 1866. The divorce complaint was filed Tues- | however, that the board had no power to approve or disapprove the plan and indicated that it would be in violation of anti-trust laws The suggestion was then made by Secretary Wilbur that the plan could | be effected through a State compact. | which would limit production at the { wells. The plan which he outlined was | agreed to by the institute and President | Hoover then called the conference of | governors. e o/ 2 = , DO YOU KNOW —that it is possible to own and operate high-grade motor ve- hicles, our own and other makes, at far helow new car cost? —that in appearance and condi- tion the cars can searcely he told from new? —that over a period of a few months these cars cost less than rented cars? —that we can supply Town Cars, Sedan Limousines, Sedans and open models, colors optional, with standard and custom-built bodies® PACKARD Seventeenth at Kalorama Rd., Cool THE EVENING STAR.
