Enactment or n uniform code of marriage and divorce laws nni recommended aa a remed) Quoting from government ttatiatiis n the number of divorces obtained annually in the country, the report shows that in 1010. when the last fig ures were gathered, there were 11- 030 divorces. Vere later figures available the re port continued, "the picture would doubtless be darker still, ecrtalnlj this would be true of 1010 owing to the large number of hasty and foolish mar riages contracted during the war " "As n primary cause of this sad condition," the report denounces the motion-picture as now produced, de claring that "nearly every him nut opon the screen contains somewhere ftome evil suggestion. Many of the films are based on the 'eternal triangle' and the suggestion of disregard if not an, open breach of the marital rela tion." Laxneps of the laws of marriage sntPdlvorce is "unquestionably one of the most fruitful causes of the prev alent and growing divorce evil," the report states, emphasizing the need of better laws regulating marriage. Many of the marriage and divorce laws of the states arc described as "foolishly absurd." The report recommends among other things the publishing of the marriage bans for at least thirty daya before the rite can be celebrated and physical examination of each party by a physi cian. When the report was presented an attack on the national board of censors of motion pictures was eliminated by the convention. Dr. Y. AV.

SEE DOLLAR HAIRCUT i Barbers Numbering 10,000 Vote to' Strike In New York I New Yorh, May 17. Safety razors! are going up or whiskers are coming In. Yesterday a thousand or more barbers gathered at Hrynnt Hall and decided they renllj couldn't keep on shearing locks and lathering faces, on their pros- i ent wage scale. They voted to strike. The 'walkout will affect some 0000 or 30.000 men, according to union officials. Just whether or not the dollar linir- i cat is upon New York is not certain I just yet, although boss barbers for the most part are poxltlve they will go to ! rack and ruin unless they increase the price that high if the strike is won The journeymen barbers, on the other , hand, point out that their demands are moderate and that If the dollar hair- i cut comes it will be a much more profit I able strike for the bosses than for their I emnloyes. There is absolutely no reason Trfcy the price should be Jumped to more thanlsixty cents, they say. No one, whether boss or journeyman, sheds any tears for the public today .Hair, it was explained, has a way of ' trowing on the head of the male human, and he is much too conceited to either wear It long or to let his wife trj her unskilled hand at snipping It off.
