dollars ahead. When your
doctor suggests that you bring

3NEEDVILLE. Tenn., Sept. 2 —
“In-law trouble” has separated
Tennessee's famed child bride, 9-
year-old Eunice Winstead Johns,
and her 26-year-old husband, Char-
lie Johns.
i “Eunice refused to live in the
house with her pappy-ln-law," the
child's grandmother revealed last
night.
“Charlie wouldn't build her a ca-
bin or rent one somewhere,” she
,pdded. "He wouldn’t leave his folks.”
Eunice, it was learned, walked
out of the mountain cabin of her
husband’s parents and returned to
the home of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Louis Winstead.
4 Charlie, the child-bride's grand-
mother, Mrs. Lucy Winstead, said
has “lit out" for Illinois.
At the time of the marriage,
which startled the nation and re-
sulted in hasty legislation in Ten-
nessee designed to prevent such
unions, Nick Johns, Charlie’s fath-
er, predicted:
"There's no good that can come
of it. She can’t make a bed or cook
or sew and all she ever thinks about
is playing around with dolls or run-
ning around with the boys when
they go hunting.”
Charlie recently withdrew his
bride from grade school after the
teacher switched her "for misbe-
having.”

Crisis In—

compel more stringent action in
dealing with shipments of arms and
munitions to China.
Naval Convoy Considered
United States and British author-
ities immediately discussed the in-
auguration of naval convoys to force
a safe passage down the rivers tor
mercy ships.
American vessels, except warships,
have been banned from calling at
Shanghai and summer White House
officials at Hyde Park. N. Y„ said
the United States government would
rely on existing naval vessels in
the Far East to evacuate Americans
still in danger zones.
Officials in Washington indicated
American merchant vessels will be
allowed soon to resume calls at
Shanghai.
Consular officials reported to the
State Department that no foreign-
ers in Shanghai’s International Set-
tlement had contracted cholera, of
which there was an outbreak among
Chinese Tuesday in the French In-
ternational Settlement.
Japs Land Equipment
Japanese reinforcements landed in
Yangtzepoo, at the eastern end of
the International Settlement, and
northwest of there at Liuho, up the
Yangtze River from Woosung.
Eight Japanese steamers laden
with reinforcements, tanks and ar-
tillery arrived outside of Woosung.
The Japanese kept up a devastat-
ing fire last night against Chapel
and the neighboring Kiangwan sec-
tor to the north.
Chinese showed no evidences of
withdrawal, however, and retaliated
with an artillery bombardment of
Japanese headquarters.
The Woosung sector, 12 miles
north of here, continued to be the
scene of heavy fighting as Japanese
forces sought to push southwart
from Woosung village to join lines
with naval contingents northeast of
Shanghai.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—A Japa-
nese warning that foreign ships
must steer clear of the Japanese
naval concentrations that clog the
route from Shanghai to the sea add-
ed new complications to an already
worrisome situation last night.
Directly involved was the problem
of evacuating safely American refu-
gees from the Chinese metropolis, a
problem that has given officials here
much concern since the bombing on
Monday of the American liner, the
President Hoover, by a Chinese war-
plane.
While American vessels were
promptly ordered to avoid the
Shanghai danger zone,-- indications
were the order would be quickly lift-
ed so the evacuation work might
continue and there might be no de-
parture from the* standing policy
of insisting upon the maintenance of
all American rights In the Far East.
President Roosevelt decided today
there was no necessity of sending
additional American naval vessels
to Shanghai to meet emergencies.
Secretary Roper asserted "tension
Flaming Auto—
(Continued from Page One)
A 40-year acquaintance with politics
apparently ended for Mrs. Joseph
T. Robinson, shown here in a new
photo, with the death of her hus-
band, senator from Arkansas. Then
came a chance to return to cam-
paigning as friends urged her to
enter the special election as a can-
didate to succeed her husband. Ar-
kansas now has one woman sena-
tor, Mrs. Hattie Caraway, who suc-
ceeded her husband in 1931.
The girl was trapped in the blaz-
ing wreckage of the automobile and
her body burned so badly identifi-
cation was not possible immediately.
Hite later established the identity
through a tattered letter found near
the crash scene.
The other victims were Bernice
Branum, 21, Minco; Fern Brown,
20, Minco; Private John V. Hawkins,
21, Tecumseh. sweetheart of Miss
Wall, and Private Russell B. Hub-
bard, Jr., 20, Sapulpa.
The bodies of the three soldiers
were taken back to Fort Sill and a
board of officers prepared to take
up an official investigation.
Hite said no action was planned
against O. O. Mitchell Chickasha,
driver of the truck, who told him
the sedan bearing the young persons
crashed into the side of his truck at
an intersection and burst into
flames.
Thomas was taken to an El Reno
hospital where he died early Wed-
nesday.
The young persons were on their
way to a movie at El Reno. The
soldiers had obtained one-day leaves,

TEXAS JOBLESS FUND |
REACHES 14 MILLION
AUSTIN. Sept. 2.—Texas “jobless
fund” passed the $14,000,000-mark
today
Orville S. Carpenter, director of
the Unemployment Compensation
Commission, announced $14,010,000 -
10 had been received from 11,900
employers on the wages of 750,000
employees.
Carpenter said the fund repre-
sented an accumulation for the past
10 months and estimated an addi-
tional $6,000,000 would be collected
by 1938.
The fund is on deposit in the
Federal Resreve Bank in Dallas,
British Fleet-
(Continued from Page One)
was fired on between Alicante and
Valencia, on the east coast of Spain,
Others stood by for orders close
to the search area and the whole
Mediterranean fleet, available for
instant duty, was conducting man- ]
euvers off the Dalmatian and Ital-
ian coasts. A cruiser squadrom was
at anchor off Venice.
Almost at the same' time the |
Havock was attacked, Spanish in-1
surgent planes bombed the Greek
freighter Tsepo, about 20 miles north
of Ba.celona. The Tsepo, carrying a
munitions cargo to the Spanish gov- j
ernment. was beached escaping
from the attack. Her helmsman was
killed and another seaman wounded.
Among a large number of mer-
chant vessels attacked on the open
Mediterranean, there have been at
least 25 ships of British registry or
operated by British interests.
The attack on the Havock was the
eighteenth on a foreign vessel since
Aug. 1.
French quarters in London ex-
pressed hope that the attack on the
Havock would incite Britain to ac-
tion against sea raids in the Medit-
erranean. They said "exchanges
with this in view are proceeding be-
tween London and Paris."
