Young Married Woman Wins S3.673 Judgment Against , Policeman. Cleveland.—If a man and wife want to take an automobile spin and then park lor s time on Clew land streets fer a little spooning ' they have a legal right to dc it ! without any interferenece from po lice. This view was taken by a jury ; of six men and six women in com- i mon pleas court when they award- i ed Mrs. Joseph Mack $3,675 dam- j ages against Police Sergeant Prank I Rolfs for false arrest. Mrs. Mack j had asked $15,000 damages. viatic Arrest The police officer asserted they were guilty of disorderly conduct when he caught them netting in tin; rear seat of their automobile. He held them six hours in jail. When their case came before tire court it was dismissed. Testimony at the trial showed a full moon was shining and the air was balmy. Mr. and Mrs. Marie were returning home from a picnic together with three other friends. Mack testified tiicy could "not re sist the romantic appeal of the moan" that night. The petting was no more under way than a police car drove up, one of the officers demanding of Mack •Who's this dame?’' Mack replied i 'iny wile.” But the police refused to believe him and away the couple i went to the police station in a po lice patrol. Within His Rights “I was hugging and kissing n\y wife when arrested. Is there any thing disorderly in that?' Mack testified- "Surely, a man has a right to make, love to his wife or. a night like that was.’ 'The Macks j have been married only a short time. Sergeant Rolfs declared he did I not have the money to pay the judgment and that he would appeal the verdict. "I was only doing my duty," Rolfs said. "To me they were guilty of disorderly conduct in making love i to each other right there on the street. At the time I arrested the Macks I thought they were terri ble. But since then conditions have been getting worse, with al sorts of couples kissing and hugglngs in automobiles, and the girls openly smoking cigarets. No, sir, I can't understand it." I CENTENARIAN RECORD HELD BY BULGARIA (By Internationa] News Service.) ( Sofia —Bulgaria today has the : largest percentage of centenarians : in the world. There are 58 persons over a hundred years of age to! every 100,000 inhabitants iti the country. This figure is remarkable when it) is remembered that in countries j like Denmark, Holland, Finland Belgium, Norway and Spain, there is an average of only one centenar- ! ian to a million inhabitants The ’ United States boasts of four • and i Canada of two centenarians to .100.- ! 000 people. In order to join the ranks of this ! distinguished tribe of humanity, you must live an exceedingly sim- ; pie life. You cannot smoke nor drink, meat must be a rare luxury j in your diet, which should consist of ! sour milk, course bread, fruit and j many vegetables. and above all 1 common sense in everything. Longevity in the Balkan countries j | is believed due to the extensive use 1 , of the famous Bulgarian sour milk. | j which contains the so-called "Bui- ! j garian bacilus" claimed to be a i dead enemy to the destructive j germs infecting one's stomach. STiTt LIES ii North Carolina Has Next To Low est Increase In Ninner Of Prisoners. News & Observer. North Carolina, according to tin. figures showing admissions to in state prison. is not keeping pace i with the nation in crime, which is j revealed in United States census! bureau reports as crowing faster than the population of Uv nation, j With the exception cf Pennsyl vania. the Tar Heel state nod the I smallest percentage of increase in new prisoners between the census years of 1923 and 19?6, and a small er ratio of prisoners for each 100. 000 population than most of 'the 31 I states which have completed thei. I reports. North Carolina last year had 20.1 prisoners for 100,000 population a: compared with 13.6 in 1023. Pcnii- j sylvania last year had only 15.9 | prisoners for 100 000 population : compared with 13.7 in 19!3. The Keystone state shewed the lowest | percentage of the 31 states. Governor Congratulated The showing of this state in j keeping well behind the national enme rate caused the New York World to wire Governor McLean congratulating him. and askin? his opinion of why such war he case. The New York paper err' .; slightly in its communication by placing North Carolina as lowest in the percentage of prisoners to population and having it showing a decrease in the number of them de spite the national increase. Two Reasons For It. Two sets of reasons are to be ascribed for North Carolina's show ing. The most favorable to the state is the fact that more money is being expended on public educa tion and welfare work and reform work is being carried oh with pri soners so that there are very few f re-commitments. This is what Governor McLean is expected la wire m answer to the New Vo.it paper. Ha .band Testifies Mnf. Rogers Alcntaiiv I nhalant ed. Georgetown.
