——————— CENTRE HALL, MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE. The question of divorce could be! solved if the more important ques tion of marriage were properly settled first. There would be as few divorces in the United States as there are in Europe if the same safeguards which protect marriage in the older coun- tries were thrown around marriage in this country. A uniform marriage law is more needed in the United States than a uniform divorce law. It is the essential preliminary to any effective handling of the divorce prob- lem. Divorces in this country would be reduced in number by two-thirds if, as is the law in England, no mar: riage could take place until the banns have been published for three weeks —if no girl could marry without her parents’ consent until she was twen ty-one years old. The causes allowed for the granting of divorce in Illinois are all reasonable, says the Chicago Tribune. Incurable insanity should be a cause for divorce. Certain dis eases should be sufficient cause, as well as incurable diseases concealed before marriage. The English divorce commission has recommended the rec- ognition of these three causes. If the Illinois commission on uniform di- vorce and marriage laws will take the Divorce Beast by the horns and not by the tail chance of mitigating the divorce evil in there will be a much better It Is natural that a people as scrup ulously regardful of their attire as the be to solution Parisians should the first set to the of the problem of preventing the be- themselves serio spattering of biles. oll off. pedestrians by automo Flying mud with makes never mixed motor a stain that comes A series of experiments has been held at to determine comparative value of differs Versailles the nt aL devices intended tc the the occupants ) act as mudguards for of well protection people walking in streets as of the of automobiles to which they are attached.
