The man who was engaged to speak on "Why I Advocate Married Life" had taken advantage of the excuse to leave his better half at home, and had caught a train for unknown parts, without buying a return ticket. ^ The man engaged to speak on "Dis cipline Will Govern Your Children" was at the police station trying to arrange bail for his son who was arrested with others at a wild "chorus girl party.
