P. E. DELEGATES
SUSTAIN OLD
DIVORCE LAW
Defeat New Marriage Canon
by Permitting 'lnnocents'
to Rewed
By Associated Press
Detroit. Mieh., Oct. IS.—Through
action of the laymen of the Protes
tant Episcopal Church in the 1916
general convention, sustained by
both clerical and lay delegates, the
innocent party to a divorce may be
rewedded in the church. Amend
ment of the canons to prevent re
marriage by an Episcopal priest of
a person who has a divorced hus
band, or wife living was defeated, de
spite desperate efforts by many of
the clergy and a few of the laity to
secure its adoption. Both orders
registered a majority against the
amendment.
Demand of several delegates who
favored the amendment that the
church unqualifiedly declare against
divorce and remarriage, brought a
prolonged argument on the ques
tion.
Judge Joseph Packard, of Balti
more, could see no reason why a
mjnister should not be permitted to
rowed the innocent party to a di- j
vorce. Dr. C. E. G. Wriglcy, of
Brooklyn, maintained that the lay- |
men desired to maintain a dual
marriage law. Dr. Randolph H. Mo-
Kim, of Washington, D. C., held the
old church law to be "the best pre
servative we have of the purity of
the family."

Public Service Commission
Adopts Plan to Speed I'p
Its Bureau Efficiency
Business of the Public Service
Commission, which lias been increas
ing, is to be handled with fewer
people and more system as the result
of a series of changes to become ef
fective on November 1. Confronted
with the necessity of bringing its
expenditures, outside of statutory
and specific salaries within $215.-
000 for two years instead of $259,-
000, the Commission has adopted the
report of a, committee of its mem
bers who have made a study of the
methods in use and determined upon
a series of readjustments and speed
ing up of efficiency.
The place of marshal, paying
$2,000 a year, and filled by William
H. Hartman, of Philadelphia, will
be vacated and Mr. llartman take
the place of J. H. Nugent. Philadel
phia, inspector at SI,BOO a year,
while William S. Seibert, Pittsburgh,
will be transferred front the execu
tive offices to the bureau of rates
and tariffs as assistant chief, the
position of Oliver P. Schoch, Ham
burg, being discontinued. H. E.
Ehlers, chief of rates and tariffs, will
become assistant engineer at an ad
vance in salary, Paul E. Fickensher,
Philadelphia, assistant chief, being
promoted to chief. The positions of
J. 11. Smith, Pittsburgh, clerk, who
resigned; Thomas J. Alawhinney,
Philadelphia, laboratory assistant,
and 11. P. liirsli, Pittsburgh, reporter -
clerk, being discontinued. The Board
of Grounds and Buildings will take
over the janitor service, thus saving
tlie cost of two persons.
Officers of the Commission say
j that to tiring the readjustment
. within the" funds at hand, positions
I had to be consolidated and changed.
! while some advances be given to
the technical experts to hold them
j in State service in view of outside
I competition for men trained in spe
j cial lines, it is expected that the
! reorgnization which has been ru
| morcd on Capitol Hill for sortie time,
; will add to the efficiency not only
jof the bureaus, but of the general
' business of the Commission which
| has increased over 100 per cent in
| a year.
It is probable that Oliver D.
, Schoch. of the Public Service Com
mission staff, who will retire short
ly, will take up work in another
branch of the State government. Mr.
Schoch, by reason of his long serv
ice here, is one of the best posted
men on Capitol Hill matters and
while no announcement has been
I made be will shortly lie assigned to
! a new post.
I State Game Commission officials
say that if the registration of hunt
ers for licenses keeps up al the rate
that it lias been going for sonic time
j there will be close to 325.000 hunt
ers licensed this year and the record
lof 311,000 made last year will be
I broken. The proximity of the open
i ing of the small game bird season
! next Monday has had the effect
iof causing a rush for licenses and
' 'here have been requests made by
some counties for more licenses. Fay
i ette, Philadelphia. Lancaster and
Dauphin are counties which have
, gone ahead of the license issue at
] this time last year and Berks. York,
I Washington. Montgomeiy, Chester
and other eastern counties report a
I brisk demand. The bear, blackbird,
] snipe, rail, reed bird, raccoon, wood
cock and water fowl seasons J are
; now on and Monday wiil see the
I opening of the season for quail,
i pheasants, grouse and squirrels. The
I rabbit season starts with November
i t, and wild turkeys tnay be shot the
l last two weeks of November, deer
I hunting being tlio first fifteen days
lof December. Many of the appli
i cants for licenses are returned sol
! diers.

was made by Henry Morgentau on
his return from abroad as chairman
of a presidential committee Investi

Referring to his advocacy of the
acceptance by the United States of a
mandate for Constantinople, Armenia
and Anatolia, Mr. Morgenthau said:
"Our people will expect Great Brit
ain to welcome us in the Mediterran
ean and Near Bast as a full part
ner. I have thought that Great Brit
ain best can demonstrate her will
ingness by giving us an equal control
of the Straits of Gibraltar. I was
told by leading English statesmen
they would be willing to accept al
most any conditions for the United
States to assume these mandates.
"If we Invested hundreds of mil
lions In the Near East and put our
fleet in the Mediterranean, we would
want to have the absolute right to go
there when we like and as we like."

Senator Penrose Is
Embarrassed by Williams
Sleeping at His Desk
Washington, D. C„ Oct. IS.—lt is
all right to sit in the wrong chair
in the Senate for a short time, but
the length or tenantcy should not
be such as to infringe upon the laws
of hospitality.
Senator John Sharp Williams took
up quarters at Penrose's desk when
the latter was temporarily absent.
The Senator from Mississippi Is
somewhat deaf and he often moves
to the Republican side of the Sen
ate to hear speeches of majority
members.
Senator Williams went to sleep in
Senator Penrose's chair and cltim
bered on for some time to the em
barrassment of the gentleman from
Pennsylvania, who wanted his scat.
Finally Senator Penrose addressed
a note to the Chair, In which he In
dicated that it was a matter of
personal privilege that he be per
mitted to .return to his desk. The
word was passed to the Democratic
side and Senator Harrison, of Mis
sissippi, woke his colleague, who
then retired to the cloakroom to
complete his nap.
Senator Penrose was no doubt
prompted by the fact that several
visitors in the galleries, after study
ing the charts showing the desks of
the various senators, to-day were
led to the conclusion that the legis
lator asleep in his chair was the
senior Senator from Pennsylvania,
whereas Mr. Penrose was a wide
awake exile from his accustomed
place In the Senate.

Now York, Oct. 18.—Bringing 255
passengers and crew of the French
steamer Venezia, which burned at
sea last Monday oft the New Found
land fishing banks, steamer Chi
cago arrived this morning with the
story of the rescue of the entire
ship's company from an "unlucky
thirteen" lifebouts after the Venezia
had been abandoned. ,
It took the Chicago's crew one
hour'and ten minutes after It reach
ed the scene to rescue the Venezia's

cago first heard the Venezia's wire
less call when 80 miles away.
The 100 bags of mail on the Vene
zia were taken off and brought here
on the Chicago. The Venezia's pas
senger list included 37 cabin, mostly
French, and 163 steerage, mostly
Syrians homeward bound. The Ve
nezia was bound from Havana to St.
Nazaire when she met with disas
ter.
The fire started in her forehold,
where the cargo consisted of rum
and sugar. It spread over the en
tire vessel from there, and she was
ablaze all over when abandoned.
Captain Bonaface was the last man
to leave the ship.

tion, the:

Have a hank account.

Mnke a will.
Own your own home eventual
ly.
Pay your bills promptly.
Invest in War Saving Stamps

St. Louis, Oct. 18.—Ten command-'
ments for the guidance of a man's I
financial life have been drawn up
by a National Committee of bankers
and others to aid in the great drive
of 1920 against the cohorts of high
cost of living.
This decalogue for the frugal man
to stiffen his mora's in a battle to
save something from the profiteers
and rent raisers is part of the pro
gram for the National Thrift Week
to begin January 17 next.
Plans for rallying the armies cf
money savers for the 1920 drive by
holding this thrift -week were ap
proved by the American Bankers'
Association in its recent convention
in this city. The idea already had
the endorsement of the United Stutes
League of Building and Loan Asso
ciation. National Federation of Con
struction Industries, Retail Credit
Men's Association, National Associa
tion of Life Insurance Underwriters,
National Credit Men's Association,
the American Life Convention and
other national bodies.
Thrift Program
The eight days of the National
Thrift Week have been named after
some points of the financial creed
as follows:
Saturday, Junuary 17. —"Bank
Day" or "National Thrift Day," to
emphasize the need for individual
thrift and the service a bank renders
a community.
Sunday. January 18.—"Thrift Sun
day." with sermons in all American
pulpits 011 the relation of economic
life to religious well-being and the
need of sharing with others.
Monday, January 19.—"National
! Insurance Day," to stress the need
of protecting one's family.
_ Tuesday, January, 20.—"Own
\our Own Home Day." to show why
it is desirable and how it is pos
sible to own your own home.
Wednesday, January. 21.—"Make
a Will Day," to urge "men to make
wil's.
Thursday, Jnnuary 22.—"Thrift in
Industry Day," to advocate factory
thrift and co-operation between
can'tal and labor.
Friday. January 23. "Family
Budget Day." }
Saturday. January 24 "Pav
Your Bills Day."
Big leaders Interested
Supporting this movement in an
address to the hankers in their con
vention here, Arthur M. East of
New York, national director of' the
thrift week movement, said: "Finan
e'al and industrial leaders are in
terested in the increased cost of liv
ing because they know that In most
cases the bill for the increased cost
is handed by the worker to the em
ployer Tor liquidation. The bill for
the cost resulting from the ineffi
ciency of the average man and
housewife in the spending of monev
and their failure to get full value
for money received is also handed
to the employer for payment either
in increased demands for wages or
in increased dissatisfaction and in
dustrial unrest.
"So, many employers are learn
ing that, along with plans for stim
ulating the interest of the worker
in his job, there must go hand in
hand with it an education of em
ployes ip fundamental economics and
in the use and value of money."

MARRIAGE SUPPERSTITIONS
lit is an old belief that marriage
should take place when the moon
is waxing and waning, if it is to
be a lucky match, and in many north
country districts a strict inquiry is
made as to the state of the moon
before the wedding day is fixed, ac
coding to a writer in London An
swers. In the north too, no wise
bride wil ask an odd number of
guests to her weding feast for an
old superstition has it thot if this
be done one of the guests will die
befor the year is out.
II theHighlnnds It is taken as a
terrible unlucky sign if a dog should
run between the bridal pair on their
wedding day; wlii'e in Derbyshire
prispeclive brides still tell the bees
of their wedding and decorate the
hives for the occasion. In parts of
England and Scotland there exists
an ancient cutom for which reason is
hard to find, by which part of the
wedding cake is broken over the
head of the bride and the guesis
scramble for pieces.
Non of these marlage manners,
however, compare with the Chinese
cutom which causes bacon and sugar
to be hung an the sedan chair of
a Chinese bride, in order to keep the
demons from molesting her on her
wedding journey. The Chinese bride
to-be, too, has to stand in~a round,
shallow basket while she dresses for
the wedding, in order to make her a
good temper and "amtabde disposi
tion.
