Flying Officer
Can’t Stand Wife
Who “Babies” Him
Lawton Vasque Smith, who was
an officer in the aviation corps at
the time of his marriage, didn't rel
ish the idea of his bride treating
him like a child and “chastising
him in the presence of his friends”
as he declared she did, and so Sat
urday he brought suit for divorce
from her in the Fulton Superior
Court. .
The “chastising bride,” Mrs.
~ Blizabeth Vashti Smith, was un
derstood to live in New York, in
' which city the couple married Au
gust 7, 1917. The aviator set out
that they separated in Desoronto,
Canada, October 21, after less than
three months of married life.
The husband made no explana
tion tn the suit as to the exact form
of punishment embraced in the
chastisements administered by the
bride, merely stating that she
treated him “as a child.”
. But this wasn’t the only thing
. complained of by the husband. He
| declared his bride “smoked ciga
| rettes and drank liguor,” that she
was Insanely jealous, and continu
‘ ally nagged him, She began to dis
play irritation toward him within a
‘ week after the marriage, he set out.
Another decidedly brief matri
monial venture was recited in a
divoree suit brought Saturday by
Mrs. Frances English against Wil
l Ham W. English. This couple mar
ried in February, last year, and
came to the parting of the ways in
March. The bride charged that
Fnglish was always quarreling, and
that he beat her with his fists,

ties, unconscious, but whole, Clyde
Swearington, 2 years old, was found
by frantic pavents this morning be
tween the rails of the main fline
after a train of nineteen coaches
had rushed past, an inch above his
tousled and gritty hair.
There was one little bruise, hard
ly more than a scratch, and even
this he may have received in his
play before he ventured onto the
tracks in the path of the oncoming
train.

express. But when they saw the
child the train was too near to at

motive roared by.
There was a gasp, and the crowd
stood tense until the train had
passed. The parents were first to
reach the child. A close Yxamina»

ent, and after the boy had been re
vived he was sald to be little the
worse for his experience,

Men who draw good salaries naturally acquire the habit of
thinking they ecan always do it. Their ability blinds them to
the faect that the capable men are just as liable to accidents
and the ills of life as their lower-salaried fellows. ’
A $4.000 man who loses his earning power hits the
ground four times harder than the §I,OOO laborer who is dis
abled. Consequently he needs to save just four times as
much.
