Seattle, Wash.—Everyone concedes , woman the right to change her! mind. Even judges. Mrs. Betty Lcos, 33, is a woman and has exercised her prerogative to such an extent that she divorced one husband six times and has Just been awarded her seventh divorce in 15 years from a second spouse. Court records indicate this is a very profitable business as they ; how Mrs. Leas has gained between *60,000 and $75,000 from her first husband in the six divorces grant ed her. In 1914 Mrs. Leos began her vari ed matrimonial adventures in Ne braska at the age of 18. She married Steam and divorced him in 1918. In the same year she remarried him and again divorced him. The next year she and Stearns—who, ac cording to their own allegations, battled continually—remarried in San Francisco. The same year she filed another suit for divorce which wasn't finished, but before tne year had ended, she had divorced him again for the third time. Three months later they remarried in Vancouver, B. C., and four months later Stearn himself filed suit for divorce, which was dismissed. Three months later Mrs. Stearn again brought divorce proceedings and obtained her fourth divorce. In each instance Mrs. Stearn was awarded large alimony. The fifth decree came in 1933 and the ltnal one in 1925. Lets than a year later she married Leos at Mount Vernon. Skapit coun ty. She was then receiving $350 a month alimony from Stearn. Her tirst husband died in Seattle last March and is said to have left her MO.OOO in insurance. RETRIEVED TEN TIMES. DEE TO DIE IN TEXAS Huntsville.

Columbus. O. — Major T. r. Walker of tlic Commercial Solvents company ol Terre Haute, Ind., speaking before the American Chemical Society's annual meeting at Ohio State university, said 10, 000.000 bushels of com annually, quarter of the amount formerly made into spiritous liquors, now goes into lacquers. Corn, cotton, sugar and milk, he brought out, are four ot the most important industrial chemicals pro duced on the farm Corn crops, once converted into whiskey, still go into alcohol, but it is butyl and ethvl, for lacquer. An other corn lacquer product is ace tone. "More than fifty chemical pro ducts,'’ he said, "are derived from the corn kernel. Tl.ey include such things as table oil soap and gly cerine, rubber substitute, fertilizer, starch, corn syrup, tanner's sugar and vegetable glut “Eleven compan'es in the United States are engaged in manufacture of corn products such as starch, corn products such as starch, corn syrup, corn sugar and corn oil. About 85,000,000 bushels, one-third of the corn tha' reaches the pri mary market, is employed in this in dustry. "It is estimated that the nine States in the corn belt yield enough stalks annually for 12.000.000 tons of paper. But it is probable that it; would not prove economical to; utilize them except in the most favorable location because of the cost of collecting and transporting! such bulky material Processes for chemical utilization of th» corncob have been worked out, but here, again, the problem of commercial [oils, synthetic stearin, soaps and soap collecting comes in. "Cotton seeds now produce refin ed powders, nitroglycerine, roofing ; paint, writing paper, celluloid, ray I on. photographic film, sausage casings, nitrocellulose, smokeless powder, gun cotton, lacquers, arti ficial leather, toilet ware, furfural, I carbohydrates and potash. The cot jton plant is used ir. bleaching, dye ' ing. printing, water-proofing and I inercerization.” Ttutherfordton-Friends and ad miters rf County Superintendent of Schools Clyde A.
