Gf's Poor Mates
EVANSTON. Ill- April 26
(JF) A blond Iowa co-ed who
tows she will never marry a
G. I., "because they make
poor husbands. defends that
thesis in the finals of an ora
torical contest tonight.
Helen Braden, 20-year-old
Iowa Weleyan college senior,
last night won her way to the
finals of the annual Interstate
Oratorical association tourna
ment at Northwestern univer
sity by pertly declaring:
I want my prospective hus
band to be able to think for
himself, rather than sit back
and complain, hoping that the
government will find the solu
tion in the form of a bonus or
a dole.
"In the heat of some raging
hell ha may have lived a cen
tury in a few seconds. These
are the moments he must learn
to forget, or at least to bury.
He will know that the real
heroes axe buried on foreign
soil or somewher in the vast
sea."
The Oskaloosa, la- orator
then added that C. I. Joe is
laty. hateful, uncultured. 111
mannered and boastful of war
exploits. Miss Braden said she
is not engaged.

THEATRES
Ship's officers and passengers
said they believed Bar fell over
board as the ship pitched in
rough seas.
The story might have ended
there had not the motilities and
detectives descended suddenly
upon the Sumwater yesterday
and combed the vessel from
stem to stern and from top deck
to bilge.
Then came the report, from
untraced sources, that Bar had
told passengers he had hidden
in his cabin three precious
necklaces of rare white jade,
worth more than all the treas
ure in his teakwood cases and
that has been valued at J250,
000. Some said the officers also
thought they might find the
body of Henri Bar tucked away
in some odd cubbyhole. The of
finally left, apparently
empty-handed, certainly with
out a corpse.
As for the curse, the Vancou
ver Dailv Province said sailors
on the vessel told a passenger
10 asate cuos in the collection
were relics of the looting of the
Peking palace in the early
1900s and "there had been a
curse" on them. There was no
further explanation.
It was understood the French
consul-general here, Charles
Claudon, had demanded a full
scale investigation.
