Divorced. By Novelist Katharine Brush (Red Headed Woman, Young Man of Manhattan) : Broker Hubert Charles Winans, her second husband ; in Reno.

Died. Lewis Maurice Fields, 74, of Weber & Fields; in Beverly Hills (see p. 53).

Died. Dr. Wallace Nutting, 79, who plastered parlors from coast to coast with his tinted photographs of the New England countryside; in Framingham, Mass. A onetime Congregational minister forced into retirement by illness, he made a small fortune with his regional photographs and sketches, turned them out for nearly 35 years, produced the wide-selling "States Beautiful" books (Vermont Beautiful, New Hampshire Beautiful, etc.). In the meantime he grew to be a recognized authority on American antiques, bought and sold them, once got $20,000 from J. P. Morgan for a Colonial cupboard.

Died. Dr. Robert George Jackson, 83, the Canadian Bernarr Macfadden; of cancer; near Toronto. Food faddist and exercise enthusiast for some 30 years, he said "God has provided the means by which we can always be well," lived chiefly on fruits, nuts and grain. Turning his faddery into a business, he manufactured wide-selling cereal foods, broadcast his picture in a breechclout. Canadians knew best his "Roman Meal"; U.S. citizens knew two other products whose trade names Alexander Woollcott shudderfully disclosed: "Lishus," and "Bekus Puddy."

Died. George Sibley Johns, 83, head of the editorial page of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch from 1899 to 1930 (see p. 47).
