PUT LOW VALUE
ON FICKLE WIFE
Farthing Is Held Too High
' In One Suit For Damages
Balm Averages $560
Justice Quite Caustic.
LONDON (UP) Srltiah court. In
creasingly concerned with ancient and
Inadequate divorce laws ilnce the
Simpson affair spot-lighted marital
problem, have turned to the knotty
question what la the caoh value of
a wife?
The English wife Is worth exactly
580.20, IX the average of the laet
three Jury verdicts la an Indication.
Of these three cases, the first
wronged husband elected to seek dam
ages for enticement of his wife's af
fections Instead of a divorce, with
damages. The wife and the other man
were living together openly. The Jury
awarded damages of one farthing,
which la a half-cent In American
money. The Judge scathingly Indicat
ed that this "price" was too high;
counsel for the husband remarked
that the sum obviously represented
the Jury's valuation of the woman.
Court Welcomes Damages
The next husband went to the pro
vincial court at Leeds and was luck
ier, since this Jury ruled that the
other man stole 1,500 when he ab
sconded with the plaintiff's wife. The
Judge also was of a different nature.;
He commented that he was glad dam-1
ages had been sought and awarded I
and snld It was well that people
should understand that liunnqt;!i
might be claimed tn a divorce action
and that an Injured spouse has re
course In law.
The third husband, who won a di
vorce In a ruling by Justice Sir Itltt
ley Philip Watson Swift, was lucky to
escape without a Judicial reprimand
for marrying such a woman. When
the question of damages ceme up.
the Jury awarded the husband $250.1
Then the Judge had his say, and he
sold plenty.
Mr. Justice Swift's pleasnnt plump
face, framed In his full-bottomed
wig, belled the biting tongue he used.
Addressing the husband's counsel, he
said:
"Your client has dono 1 lb. 40 17s k!
better for himself than he ever should
have. They won't let me assess dam
ages because they know quite well I
should say half a crown (03 cents)."
Refuse Cost Award
The judge refused to award the
husband costs, continuing:
"What does a man lose when a mis
erable woman goes off with some
one else nothing. No I shall not say
nothingperhaps a little."
In the next case, the Judge re
fused to allow damages when the Jury
Inquired how much the wronged man
had to pay a housekeeper.
"You can't assess the value of
wife a though she were a chattel,"
the Judge said. "She Is not a piece
of furniture. You can't treat her aai
though she were a piano and ask how I
much per leg did you pay for her,!
Don't look at how much he la now1
paying a housekeeper ask yourself
what he lost when a woman who
couldn't live with him went away and
left him. He lost nothing."
In another case, when a wife sought
Judicial separation with maintenance,
but not a divorcer Justice Swift re
lieved his mind . further. The wife
said: "I feel that the marriage tie
cannot be severed, ever." Bald the
Judge:

WASHINGTON (AP) Political
worms don't turn often, but the
house, which has been one a long
time, has been making a turn of
sorts and Is so delighted with Itself
It fairly chortles.
Those who anw the house turn
against the president's plan to make
the CCO a permanent organization
will understand.
The CCO has been a popular busi
ness ever since the president, fresh
ly seated, told the country he want
ed to use what spare money he
could amass to send poor boys into
the forests to be mode sleek and
sound.
So it was with much surprise
that the house developed a real
antagonism 'to making the CCC a
per ma nen t Institution. The house
long has been considered almost
wholly subservient to the president.
Many of Its members concede they
rode Into orrice on the president's
coat tails and, unlike In the senate,
any presidential disapproval can be
reflected against them every two
years when they come up for re
election. The debate began with general
expectation that the house would
kiss the bill flcrons. even though It
would cost shout S330.000.000 a year
close on to the cost of the army !
or navy.
A half hour before the vote was j
taken, reporters caught some of the
drift and hazarded guesses that
there "might" be enough votes to
defeat the permanent plan. Indeed,
there were. They whooped across
244 to 34 an amendment to keep
it alive only two year.
Besides the new-found desire for
economy, two fears are behind the
opposition of many members: First,
that some future president might
convert it somehow Into a wide
flung political organization; second,
that It might become an adjunct
of the military. Secretary of War
Woodring contributed considerably
to the latter view. As assistant sec
retary tw0 years ago he said in a
preparedness speech that the several
hundred thousand young men put
through CCC camps each year could
be looked upon as a valuable reserve
unit.
He was roundly Jumped on by
almost everybody from the president
down. Actually some of the camps
are so Imbued with pacifist senti
ment that one caustic scribe com
mented the army would have to
lick the CCC before the country
could go to war.
The debate brought a prediction:
Representative K nut son (Republl
can Minn.): "Personally I do not
think there will be any need for the
CCC after the new deal goes out."
A member (unidentified by the
record): "When will It go out?'
Mr. Knutson; "In the forties."

Oregon Caravan Safe.
(By the Associated Press.)
The Oregon good-will army, its
march undisturbed by the California
bug inspectors, made ready to cap
ture San Francisco, stronghold of the
Golden Gate Bridge fiesta, this after
noon. The Oregonlans said farewell to
their green state last night and
broke their Journey at Eureka. Along
the route through northern California
other citizens chiefly from the coastal
country, swung Into line.
The "honor system" prevailed at !
the border and the procession en-!
tered the southern state without 1
"casualty." ,
"Do you have any fruit or flowers j
in your car?" the uniformed lnspcc-J
tors asked each driver. All nnsu-prs !
were no and each windshield bore an
okay. Not a suitcase underwent In
spection. ,
The governor spoke vigorously yes
terday for farmers and laborers and
against labor "racketeers."
If there Is any attemtp to interrupt
the harvest season with labor dis
putes, he said at Grants Pass, "I
hope the good old American farmer
will reach for his pitchfork."
"I'm for the laboring man." he
continued. "I'm one of the best
friends he's got, but he must detach
himself from the labor racketeer."
The governor vlsloned a brilliant
future for the Grants Pass country
through the development of Its min
eral resources.
Once more he took note of com
ment on the possible political sig
nificance of His' numerous trips
through the state, saying "I want
to tell you that I'm not running for ;
governor. I'm Just trying to be a
good governor."
Caravans headed south from the
Coos Bay region yesterday. A spe
cial train will carry Oregonlans to
the fiesta today from the Klamath
country. - .
PORTLAND, Ore.. May 28. (A?)
Doctors attending a 13-monthvold
girl held high hopes for her recovery
today after they rerrlbved her "twin"
fiom her abdomen.
The fetus, about five inches long
contained a partially formed skull,
rplne and embryonic leg bones.
It was contained In a small sac,
as In a fetus of normal birth, but was
not living in the sense that embryos
live, existing as a parasytlc growth.
Hospital attendants said the heart
action and general condition of the
child during the operation was good
They said the child probably would
recover. In contrast to a statement by
ooctors before the operation that she
had an "eVen chance" for life.
Adhesions, which they expected to
find, were not present.
Twenty-five physicians, surgeons
tnd medical students watched the
delicate operation, which doctors said
was one of the rarest In medical
r.nnals.
Other such caseB have been known
N medicine, , but they said this case
was unusual because of the excep
tional development of the 'nner
"twin."
