CLASSES IN MARRIAGE CALLED DIVORCE CURE Solution Offered by Head of Pres- byterian General Assembly Committee. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, December 13.—Marriage classes in the churches and schools were suggested yesterday as one solution to the divorce problem by the Rev. Dr. Ralph M. Davis of Erie, Pa., presiding over a committee appointed by the Presbyterian General Assembly to study the subject of marriage and divorce. Appointed by Dr. Cleland B. McAfee, moderator of the church, the Presby- terian inquiry committee outlined a course of study to be reported upon early in March, 1930. ‘The inquiry was the result of an over- ture by the Presbytery of Dubuque, Towa, Which asked that action be taken for a liberalization of the church laws on divorce. At the present time the only divorced THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, B 6 STUDENTS PRESENT “GYPED I EGYPT Production of Troubadours Is Breezy Affair, With Pretty Girls and Melodies. ‘The musical show, “Gyped in Egypt,” was presented last night in McKinley High School auditorium by the Trou- badours of George Washington Univei sity. It will be repeated tonight and to- morrow night. Despite its puns, you'll have fun in see- ing “Gyped in Egypt.” Take, for instance, the name of one of the principal characters, “Arthur Momitor.” There's one to rouse the chilliest sort of reaction from the per- son who holds the pun to be “the lowest form of humor.” There are others, But the thing is musical and breezy. It also is strikingly decorated with uni- versity girls, who are too pretty to be school teachers in later years. Prob- ably they won't be. There’s a chorus of 38 quick-stepping girls. This is recommended as one of the principal assets of the show. As it is a musical comedy the story rightly does not concern itself with heavy things. Frank Westbrook and Mildred Burnham are given as the co- authors. Seventeen songs are sung, with chorus and otherwise, and several of them are || strikingly tuneful. Some of the titles run to puns again. Take, however, “Face the Sun,” which is a title well conceived and properly borne out by the to those who are interested in the- onls atrical experiments, and those who would see a lot of youngsters enjoying themselves highly, but also to those W] would be entertained.

Directors of the Christmas seal sale of the Tuber- culosis ~ Associa- tion, at the So- cial Service House, 1022 Eleventh street, reported this morning total re- celpts represent- ing the sale of more than 1,800,- 000 of the health tokens toward the goal .of 4,000,000, which must be sold at a penny each in order to keep going next year the health activities of the association. At the same time they noted a sharp falling off in the mail returns in the last two days, which, it was said, 1t is hoped that sales at store booths and stations may in part make up. ‘There are still several thousand per- FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1929. sons to whom allotments of the seals have been sent, but who have not been heard from. It is expected that many of these will send payment for the seals in the next few days, and all are asked by those in charge of the sale to either do that or at least return any of the .seals not wanted, using the inclosed stamped envelope for the purpose. The local association must account for all of the seals issued here under its contract alth the National Tuberculosis Associa- jon.

The program will be introduced with the singing of “Holy Night” by Miss Myrle Patschke, accompanied by Miss Esther Etzler. FIREMEN DON GAS MASKS. Firemen were forced to don gas masks this morning to withstand fumes which penetrated the first-floor lobby of the Washington Medical Building, at 1801 I street, caused by bursting pipes of the refrigeration plant in the basement. The ammonia fumes were traced to the basement by George R. Turner of 1013 Twenty-first street, colored jan- itor of the bullding, who called the fire resque squad, and the flow was checked.
