MISS MURIEL L. SMITH, 25-year-old Vdaughter of a Newcastle insurance. broker, told me to-night how she went through a marriage ceremony, which she knew was not valid, at a London hospital on Saturday, in an effort to save the life of her. dying lover, "Dr. Hugh P. Brown."
Miss Smith travelled with her mother to London on Friday to be married the following day to "Dr. Brown," who was studying for his surgeon's degree.
The ceremony was fixed for the church of St. Mary the Angel, Bays- water, and a Newcastle priest, Father Clifford, of Gosforth Roman Catholic Church, was to have married them.
The bridegroom was not a Catholic, but the Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle had granted his dispensation for the marriage to take place.
When Miss Smith arrived in London she was told that her lover was critically ill, following an appendicitis operation.
Arrangements for the wed- ding at the church were can- celled.
Father Clifford, on holiday at Scarborough, was told by tele-
Prince Bernard Zur Lippe-Bi¢- ierfeld, whose marriage to Prin- cens Jullanu of

the doctors at On Saturday hospital told Alsa Smith that their patient's condition might Improve
if she went on with the marriage ceremony in hospital.

"ugh smiled bravely when entered the hospital ward," she told! mc. "A man and a nurse were also present. We did not actually gol through the marringe ceremony,
"All I can remember the man saying is, 'You are man and wite.' "Hugh put a wedding ring on my finger, and then kissed me. Surely
I did the best thing in the circum- stances to make Hugh happy.
'PARENTS. OBJECTED'
"I never expected publicity. I am sorry that the facts have bad to be given. I did this in an endeavour to save Hugh's life.
"My ance was to have been married in the name of Dr. Hugh P. Hrown. That was not actually his name. He had made application to have his une changed by deed poll, and we had hoped that permission would have come through in time for the ceremony.
...e bad expressed a desire to umbrace the Roman Catholic faith. His parents objected, and that was partly the reason, I believe, for his desire to use the name of Brown.
The funeral uf. "Dr. Brown" took place quietly in London.
Miss Smith did not attend.
School For
U.S. Traffic Violators
Austin, Texas, Sept. 30. City oficials of Austin, the capital of Texas, looked over the report of their traffic safely school recently and decided that it is worth the cost.
The report, made after 7 months of operation, showed that only five of the 156 graduates of the school have reappeared in municipal court for trial on new violations,
That result came out of a cost of $1,874.40 in Anes that would have been paid had not the judge sent the violators to the school. Additional cust, of course, were those of actually operating the school.
First offenders, especially if they are of high school or collego age, are usually sent to the school, which hus classes twice a week. A college trained policeman is instructor.
The eight lessons--violations are ordinarily "sentenced" to 30 days in the school-cover these subjects;
1. Traffic accidents and their effect
on the driver,
2. Why and how speeding 1s
