Divorces In The South.

"A Maconnewspaper, says the Atlanta
(Ga journal lis authority for the state
ment that "a bill will beintroduced at the
next session of the Georgia Legislature
practically abolishing the right ofdivorce
in this State.
Divorces, once very rare in Georgia,
have become very frequent. The.calen-
dars of our courts are laden with petitions
for them and they are often granted on
trivial grounds or on serious ones which
are supported with little evidence.
"A plan for preventing and seekingan
the granting of divorces for insufficient
cause has been proposed in the Virginia
Constitutional Convention which would
certainly be a strong deterrent. 1t pro-
vides that when divorce is asked on the
grounds of cruelty or any other act which
is in itself a crime under the existing laws
the proper authorities shall take up the
case and prosecute the alleged offender in
a criminal court, and entirely without
reference to the desired divorce proceed
ings.
"It will be interesting to note theefie
of this proposed law II it shall be adopt
ed in Virginia."

HOW EUROPE REGARDS US.
BY w. MORTON GRINNELL.

During sojourn of some months
abroad | found what had never before
been the case; that is, an acknowledge
agriculture only, for that had long been
conceded, but in industry and finance.
An envious and grudging acknowledge
ment, indeed, but based on conviction.
1t was gratifying to American pride
to see United States 2s quoted at 106 OF
for so many decades the high type of
credit, sold at 93 and French Rentes
and German As at par.
1t was gratifying to read of English
loans subscribed in great part in New
York, of Germany practically financed
in America, Russia an enormous borrow
err, while France alone, owing to the
thrift of the people, was the only other
nation in the world with sufficient sur
plus wealth to loan to other countries.
Looking to the foundation of wealth
of which the financial condition is at
once the result and an index, one real
lied the vast actual superiority and the
greater potentialities of a nation with
an excess of exports over imports of
five hundred and six hundred millions
year after year, until the total exceeded
that of England and ranged from one
half to double that of the other great
nations. In the exports of agricultural
products we had long been pre-emincnt,
but the vast increase of manufactured
products was at once a revelation and
menace to Europe. Commerce and in
dustry are the sources of the wealth of
England and Germany, and if wrested
from them, wherewth could they buy
bread and meat to feed the increasing
millions2

GUARDING AGAINST FIRE.

Fireproofine is available for the treat
ment of any inflamable porous substance.
1t is n colorous, odorless liquid which de-
posits in the pores of the treated ma
terial chemical compound invisible to
the eye and absolutely harmless in every
way which, when heated, volatizes pro-
ducing a gas in the presence of which
flame cannot exist. The chemicals used
in the composition are noncorrosiye, non
microscopic and, at ordinary tempera-
lures nonvolatile. The liquid is cheap
and its application simple.
The action of Fireproofne on fabrics
is entirely noninjurious. 1t can be ap-
piled to the most delicate silks and satins
or the coarsest burlaps without stain,
discoloration or perceptable change of ap-
pearance. 1t may be used with the same
unconcern as pure water since it has no
more effect on the skin than the latter.
1t is permanent in its action as well as
positive.
The application of Fireproofine to fab
rics consists in saturation followed by
careful drying. 1t may be accomplished
by dipping or mixing in starch for cloth
ing, draperies. lace curtains and linen, or
by application with sponge to rugs.
carpets and similar fabrics. 1t will re-
main indefinitely unless the article is
washed, when the treatment must. be
renewed
No higher approval need be cited than
the fact that the thousands of yards of
fabric decorations of the Pan-American
Exposition were treated exclusively with
Fireproofine, at the recommendation Of
the Board of Fire Underwriters. That
the precaution was wise has been proven
in several instances during the progress
of that great fair.
The treatment of wood, while not SO
easy of accomplishment as with fabrics,
is still comparatively simple matter.
The Fireproofine Manufacturing Com
pany who control Fireproofine, have Il
plant specially designed for the purpose
at 1921 street and Harlem River, with
dock and water front facilities, where
lumber of all kinds and descriptions is
treated commercially. The process with
wood is similar to that followed in treat
ing fabrics, namely, saturation to the
inmost fibers followed by careful drying
to remove the moisture, leaving behind
in the pores of the wood crystals of fire
destroying chemicals.
