He even ont-am n June reeord. traditionally known as Cupid's month. Dan Cupid was perhaps a little tired and somewhat slow and neg ligent when he cast his dart for the last time during July. 1927. for when Emmert Bloom, - 20, Route 9, Salem, and Gladys La Fiemme, 17, Route 1, Brooks, ap; plied at 'the county clerk's office for a marriage license, it whs found the young groom-to-be had neglected to secure a medidal cer tificaU.

July' 30. (AP.)The tripartite naval conference faces a showdown at the plenary ses sion scheduled for Monday. Efforts today to obtain an. ad journment of six months or a year in order to give the conferees time for further reflection did not suc ceed and nothing has been done tonight to prevent the holding of tbe plenary session Monday, which many persons fear may be marked by statements from British and American delegations of a nature to provoke immediate rupture of the conference. , j Views Far Apart In the meantime the British and American viewpoints on methods of naval armament limitation, re main as far apart as ever, with in dications that unless the British erant the American demand of complete liberty to build secondary cruisers armed with eight inch guns, within the limits of the to tal cruiser tonnage to be fixed by the conference, the negotiations are' headed toward collapse. There are no signs whatsoever, hqwever. that the British will agree to such a provision in the treaty, since they feel that they inuir khow defltely at this xn ment how many cruisers with eight inch guns the United States will build during the life of the freaty.- . , Want Low Figure i Furthermore tbey hold that the number of these vessels should be limited to the lowest possible fig ure.

Van Winkle at the governor's request. , Th date for holding the special election is discretionary with the governor, the attorney general held. Governor Absent Under these conditions, the gov ernor will probably be guided by state laws and the state constitu tion in deciding the election date, officials said. The governor him self Is absent in eastern Oregon, and no word could be obtained from him as to the time he mav set for the election. Officials here pointed out that, the -Oregon code provides that cer tificates of .semination at a special election shall be . filed wUh the secretary of state af any time after the election Is called and ten days prior to the date set.

J This Indicates that at least 20 days must elapse between the time the governor calls the election -and the election day it was believed here. Three methods for nomination of candidates for office at special lection are apparently provided by the Oregon law; nomination by petition of individual voters, nom ination by assembly of voters and nomination by political parties.
