WIFE AWARDED
MORE ALIMONY
Nebraska Supreme Court
Takes Hand in Knox
County Case
Lincoln, Neb. —(Special)— Ths
Supreme court has affirmed the ac
tion of the district court of Knox
county which awarded Mrs. Julia
D. Nohr a divorce from her hus
band whom she sued on a charge
of extreme cruelty, but reversed the
action w’hlch awarded her $1,250
alimony and orders Nohr to pay
her $3,000 alimony in yearly in
stallments of $1,000 each.
The court says Nohr had no basis
lor his accusations of misconduct
and that neither equity nor Justice
was done when the district court
limited alimony to $1,250.
The five children were awarded
the father by the lower court, and
the supreme court holds that these
are assets rather than liabilities.
Mrs. Nohr also was awarded $150
attorney’s fees.
The court held that besides at
tending to her household tasks and
bearing five children, Mrs. Nohr
had worked in the fields and picked
corn and was therefore entitled to
more than the lower court granted.

FENSKE <!!'Alt 1)1 AN SHIP
TO BE CONTINUED
Lincoln. Neb. —(Special)— The
supreme court has affirmed the ac
tion of the district court of Wayne
county In refusing to dismiss a
guardian appointed for Robert
Fenske. Fenske, a wealthy farmer,
was addicted to the liquor habit and
hia children asked that a guardian
be appointed to prevent his wast
ing his estate. Fenske appealed on
the ground that he had given up
drinking and was competent to look
after his affairs. The supreme court
says. "It is elementary that the
burden is placed on one who pleads
the existence of a material fact as
the basis of his action to prove that
fact. The petitioner was under
guardianship by virtue of the Judg
ment of a competent court. That
judgment had never been appealed
from. It was a question of fact
and the burden was on the petition
er, who alleged it. to prove that he
could safely be freed. The court
is of the opinion that the evidence
falls short of proof that the ward
has permanently ceased to use In
toxicating liquor to excess.”

Turkey Refutes to Part
With Old Royal Galley
Turkey’s precious royal pleasure
galley, dating from the reign of Sul
tan Mohammed IV, will never be
sold no matter how many flattering
offers are made, according to the di
rector of the naval museum at Istan
bul, Turkey. A British enterprise re
cently offered the government a large
sum for this unique craft, proposing
to take it to the United States for
exhibition purposes. The offer was
rejected.
The galley, believed to date back
to 1630, is 40 meters long, 5^4 meters
wide, 2‘4 meters deep and weighs
130 tons. It was manned by 144 men,
three to each oar. The paint use at
that period was so good that even
now' it is almost as fresh as when
new, particularly the blue. The
gilded prow is long and sharp, but
the remainder of the galley is curi
ously overhung after the fashion of
ancient Venetian craft. In the stern
is the imperial cabin with a triple
cupola supported by columns and
completely overlaid with mother-of
pearl and tortoise-shell mosaic, stud
ded with garnet glass. The cabin is
flanked by two gilded gryphons and
entered through a balustrade adorned
with four large bails of cloudy crys
tal.
In addition to this masterpiece of
medieval boat-builders’ art, there are
13 other caiques in the same build
ing—graceful craft once propelled
with gilded oars, scores of which are
stacked in ttie half-forgotten naval
museum beside the Golden horn.

If it is “near kerosene” doctored up with casing

completely buru all of the heavier elements
—the “clinker” part.
That’s why much of the cut quality gasoline
sold, turns out to be an expensive fuel—when
you check its actual power and mileage perform

Balanced RED CROWN GASOLINE contains
no “clinkers.” It burns up completely—gives
you all the power and all the mileage your pas
