BETTER MARRIAGE
AND DIVORCE LAW
Doctor Woods Sees Solution
in "Adoption of Ruling of
Jesus" Doctor Taylor
Would Bar Wedlock to the
Unfit.
"What Is needed as a barrier to un
necessary divorce In America Is the
adoption of the ruling of Jesus on tho
patter by all the peojHo."
This statement was mado today by Dr.
Jlatthow Woods, of 1307 South Brood
ttrcet, n noted medical practitioner and
nn authority on divorce from a medical
point of view.
TVlth the acceptance of Christ's teach
ings," said Doctor Woods, "there would
pe little need of legislation, except In
the matter of transmlBslblo diseases. But
llnoe this seems Impossible, or under
present circumstances extremely difficult,
the next best remedy would bo that, since
vedloclc Is a natural right, to bo for
feited only by some wrong on tho part
cf either contracting party, the central
Government should permit every BUltnblo
person who will substantially perform tho
duties of the matrimonial relation to be
)he husband or wife of another.
"This Bhould bo done by tho enactment
Df Just laws, which should be uniform
throughout tho United States. When tho
matrimonial relation Is entered Into In
good faith and ono of the parties to It
so far falls In the duties Involved as
practically to fruatrato Its ends, tho
Government should provide somo means
fcy which the Innocent party may be freed
from tho mero legal bond of what, In fact,
lias ceased to be marriage. Tho delin
quent's failure should bo fully established
and shown to do permanent and In no
way due to tho fault of tho other party,
and the delinquent should have no claim
to bo protected In a second marriage.
Whether It should be permitted to him
Is not a question of tight, but of public
xped!ency.
"I bollcvo that there should be a law
pialtlng It a crlmo for a clergyman or
others to marry tho unfit. This law ought
to bo uniform In all the States."
Dr. J. JIndlson Taylor, of 1301 Pino
street, professor of therapeutics at Tem
ple University, said that tho United
Btatei was sorely In need of better and
more explicit marrlngc and divorce laws.
"It may seem strange for doctors to
dlicuss questions which enter Into the
domain of religion," said Doctor Taylor,
"but I believe, as some ono has said, that
the world will now be saved since the
doctors have begun to preach and tho
clergymen have begun to practice."
Doctor Taylor said that a great danger
to society lay In tho marrlago of people
unfit for parenthood.
"Thoro should bo a recognlred board of
medical experts whose business It would
te, first nnd foremost, to determine Just
suoh points ns tho elcmonta of unfitness
for parenthood, especially for the purpose
of keeping ono or othor of tho contracting
parties from an alliance matrimonial
which might result In adding to the
already serious burden of the unfit. In
stitutions for tho feeble-minded nro filled
with deplorablo Instances of these un--regulated
marriages, many of them In
ching people In tho highest stations of
life. I see this In institutions with which
I am connected.
"Eery child has a right to get a fair
itart In life, no matter what Its social
position The conspicuous Instances of
degeneracy aro bad enough, but the
milder forms, the no-called fools, are a
astly more serious proposition. They
are the trouble mukors, tho persons for
whom thoro li no place In the sorl.il
clicmc, only capnhle of tho most limited
education, especially In tho essential par
ticulars of self-restraint or continuity of
right conduct
"Tho trouble Is that standards of con
servation, the greatest ahsot a community
could hae, have not oven begun to be
determined ns et. And that Is where at
tention should bo focused. The public
should be educated as to the dangers of
unfit matrimonial alliances Just as It
as been educated In the matter of trans
missible diseases. Tho entlro matter
should be regulated by law with tho as
sistance of medical experts."

CHILDREN'S CORNER
BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES
IN A quiet little pool, just off a
shady river, lived Mrs. Dlack Duck
and her family.
All through the late spring and
jummer she had cared for her family
in a most diligent fashion. Looked
aiier tveir appetites and their health;
their manners and their morals. And
now in the fall she had her reward
In all the river there lived not a
finer family than hers!
So Mrs. Black Duck heaved a sigh
of relief and decided to take a vaca
tion. "For weeks I have worked," she
explained to herself, "and now I mean
jo take life easy. I'll swim around
just as I please, eat everything I can
d; and play and paddle as much as
I care to."
. So she began.
First she found a tender, grubby
worm in a shallow place in the pool.
Urn, Urn I that's good," she said as
she snapped her bill together and ate
n, "P. "I think I'll eat some more,
what a comfort it is not to have to
look after children. I feel quite like

any more.
'Now, let's see." she mused. "I

o long! I think I'll just fix up my
feathers"
So she primped.
ihe fixed her tail feathers and her
Dreast feathers; her sleek glossy neck
and her web feet. "My but that does

of Flaming Red.

flaming red from her cerise turban to
her crimson shoes, Becky Edelson, tho I.
W. W. agitator, was arraigned here to
day charged with disturbing tho peace
during the anti-Rockefeller demonstra
tion last spring.
Miss Edelion, who wns acompanled by
Alexander Berkman, the Anarchist lcador,
and a number of other libertarians, acted
ns her own lawyer. In examining talcs
men for the Jury she asked two liquor
dealers If Mr Rockefeller was a custo
mer. Both emphatically replied: "No."
She tried to push it down in the water,
but it bobbed up every time. She
grabbed it in her bill, turned her head
to one side and made great ripples
with the long black tip. Then site
thought of the most fun of all! She
ducked her head down underneath the
long black thing, tiien raised up, and
balancing it on her head, ..warn round
and round. "I never hail so much fun
in my life," she declared, "I wonder
what "
And just at that very minute, a
party of children rnn down to the edge
of tile water. "Lookl" they cried,
"look at Mrs. Black Duck! She's car
rying one of her own black tail feath
ers on her head."
"My tail feather!" quacked Mrs.
Black Duck, "the idea!" She dropped
it in a hurry and eyed it carefully.
"I'll declare. I believe it is! Why
didn't I think of that before?"
Then she put on her grandest man
ner! and swam proudly round and
round. As though she was saying,
"Pooh! do you think I care? I've had
a fine play!"

GARY SEES BRIGHT
BUSINESS FUTURE
DESPITE THE WAR
Points to Present Increase in
Many Exports and Relies
on Nation's Great Resources.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 29.-Express-lng
tho greatest optimism ns to tho busi
ness outlook, and asserting that "the op
portunities for progress and success In
this country are greater than ever be
fore," Elbert 21. Gary, chairman of the
United Stales Steel Corporation and
president of the American Iron nnd Steel
Institute, addreescd tho semiannual meet
ing of the Institute here today.
lie rovlewcd the Iron and steel trade of
the world, touching upon the nmlcablo
relations existing between the business
men of various European nations and
those of tho United States following tho
meeting of tho representatives of the
Iron and steel manufacturing Industries
of tho world In Europe three years ago.
In this connection Judge Clary declared
"Without giving reasons In detail at the
present tlmo I venture tho opinion that
tho struggle for commercial supremacy
wan the underlying cause of the war, or
nt least had a decided Influence upon Its
precipitation; that tho questions at Issue
largely relato to dollars and cents.
"And many believe, If representatives
of tho different nations had previously
met In a spirit of friendly nnd considerate
Inquiry for tho purpose of definitely and
ftnnlly settling the financial Interests of
each, alt troublo would have been averted.
EXPORTS NOW INCREASING.
"But what of tho future? We nre al
ways comforted by tho fact that tho pro
ductive capacity and actual production
of wealth In the United States Is growing
year by year; and this ability to produce
will not and cannot be diminished. Be
sides, nt the present time, tho exports of
a largo variety of commodities aro In
creasing, and although not equal to the
volume reported Just prior to tho com
mencement of tho war, yet aro much
larger than nt a time following the be
ginning of the war. This will have a
material Influence upon other lines. All
are stimulated nnd brought Into service,
"As to the long future I do not hesi
tate to say, with emphasis, that tho op
portunities for progress nnd success In
this country are greater than ever before.
If wo can get out of tho ruts of antago
nism, inconsistency, distrust, hvnnrri.v.
Individual indlfforcne to the rights and In
terests of others, which seem to havo
prevented natural ana legitimate progress
during the past fow years, bo that tho
people generally will not disregard per
sonal ambition and will work together
Joining hands, for the protection and pro
motion of tho welfaro of all alike, having
a disposition to utilize to tho be3t advan
tages tho privileges which this country
affords, It will be only a question of tlmo.
and short at thnt, when tho United States
will bo firmly established as the leading
country of tho world. Times and condi
tions aro auspicious.
FAITH IN OUR RESOURCES.
"It is wise for all of us to place our
faith in tho wonderful possibilities of
this country. In this connection it Is to
be remembered there Is a growing senti
ment throughout the country In favor of
Just nnd fair treatment to all the people
and all departments of human endeavor.
It now seems clear that In tho future
greater regard will be had for tho rights
and Interests of all classes of people
without discrimination. Equal Justice will
be done all, rich or poor, stronr or weak.
"Politics or partnership will not be
used to obstruct tho normal and legiti
mate growth of the country; and one
of the most gratifying and encouraging
signs of tho times is the attitude of the
leaders in public discussion and of tho
administration of publto nffalrs."

though It might appear to be a paradox,
"tho nation that wins will surely lose."
"The enormous cost," he said, "and
the long continued suffering on the part
of the survivors will not be fully cov
ered by any success or glory or Indem
nity. "All that I hare said applies forcibly
to our business. We who are here todny
are engaged In competition; wo are natu
rally selfish; wo nre often Inconsiderate
and Indifferent. It was customary In

and to pursue tho same line of conduct
In tho Iron and steel trade that have been
exhibited In the European conflict. The
grave of concerns destroyed ore numer

cess In bringing about a new order of
things In business. Tou have become
well acquainted; you have confidence
In each other; you recognize the Inter

when he prospers nnd equally sorry when

and clearer understanding of business
obligations. Vou can faithfully represent

to Go at Re
Only those who have seen our collection of leather
covered fyroiture cam isoderstand how truly we can call
these pieces "Superb" and "Magnificent."
Now the best thing1 about every piece on the floor is
that unlike so much imposing-looking "leather" furniture,
its fineness is not a surface or skindeep fineness, but a
fineness through and through.
Many of these things luxurious lounging chairs,
sofas and such were imported from England. These are
covered in English Morocco leather, the real goat hide,
not the kind of hide that is taken off a mule or a donkey.
All the pieces not covered in this material are covered
with real No. 11 cowhide, which means the best grade of
hides that comes from the tanneries.
Be fillings are
exquisitely restful.
Every piece In the collection was rnade to sej! for twice the
price ranerked on it. We don't remember when we hsd so mniaoy
pieces to sell for one-half the actual value. But these are samples;
they have been Song enough on show, and now they must move.
One of the most extraordinary offerings we have known in
this class of merchandise is the 2-piece Library Suit sofa and
lazy chair, covered in imported Morocco leather and copied after
the lounging furniture of fashionable English clubs at $183,00.
Easy chairs, $16, $18, $21, $25, $28, $30, $34, $37, $42, $45, $50

Two Women Who Died by Poison

them both well, eays they sought purely
spiritualistic life on earth and were pan
theistic In faith and conduct.
Their bible was n collection of poems
about the sen. This they always took
with them, and their whole philosophy
about life was expressed In a frontis
piece poem attached to their poetic bible.
It was said tho women, who belonged to

about death nnd Its Inevitability. They
