prosecuting attorney is required by statute
to appear i'm behalf of the absent party,
file answer aud sometimes if a vigor-
Gus fight is put up by the State, the divorce
is refused
While during the summer months there
is very little law business transacted at
the courthouse, for the reason that most
of the judges are out of the city on their
Der of divorces filed. The warm weather
gives impetus to this sort of business and
more divorces are filed during June July
and August than in any other three months
during the year. The records kept by the
different clerks show that during last year
there was decrease in what may be
termed real litigation from the year be-
fore. This was no. true however, of di-
vorces. for more were granted last year
than for several years before and indica-
tons are that this year will show large
increase over the previous year.
JUDGES IMPOSED UPON.
An example of the loose manner i'm which
divorces are arranged between parties and
how the judges are imposed upon took place
recently in one OF the Superior Court rooms
A man Of some wealth was being sued for
divorce by his wife. The woman charged
her husband with cruel and inhuman treat
ment But one witness was summoned and
that by the complainant The testimony
was heard and the judge adjourned court
until the following day. When the judge
left the courtroom the defendant and his
wife, with their respective attorneys. ad-
journed to the corridor, where the couple
had a long conversation relative to their
separation.
Now, mamma. do you think we should
continue this case?"
Yes, papa" replied the wife. 81 think
il would be better for us TO separate"
Well" continued the husband. IF you
think 1t is best VIC will let it go ahead.
and my attorney will be Gown to your house
tonight and We can arrange for division
of the property.
With this apparent agreement the couple
walked oLt of the courthouse together aud
returned the next day, wnen the woman
got her divorce.

EASY TO SECURE DIVORCE
INDIANA is A MECCA FOR DfssATIS-
FLED COUPLES.
Frequently the Judges Are Imposed
UpOn-DivOrces and Marriage Lii
censes Issued i'm Ratio of 4 to 2.

What is the reason for the increase of
divorce suits in the courts of Marion
county? Not a day passes that an average
of three divorce petitions is not filed in the
clerks Office at the courthouse. On many
days more divorces are filed than there
are marriage licenses issued. Especially is
this true of Friday. 1t is an old supersti-
ton that Friday is an unlucky day to COM
mence to do anything and people have
grown to shun the marriage license desk
at the courthouse that day as if it was
thing possessed Sometimes persons who
are brave enough to begin conjugal happi-
ness under this handicap throw supersti-
ton to the winds and take out their certi-
ficates on that unlucky day. This is seldom,
however.
What has this got to do with the grant
ing of divorces and the filing of divorce
petitions? For every divorce there must
have been issued, at some tirae. a marriage
certificate. Not necessarily in this county,
for. as matter of fact large majority of
the suits filed are by parties who have not
made Indianapolis their home long. 1t is
shown by statistics recently compiled at the
courthouse. that the ratio of divorces to
marriage licenses is as one to seven. For
riage licenses issued.
AN EASY MATTER.
1t is comparatively easy matter to Sc
cure divorce in Indiana. The necessary
two years residence a Statutory cause, and
enough money to retain an attorney are
about all that is required. The judges, as
rule, are not disposed to deny petitions.
Some have made effort to make the road
a little harder by requiring that both
parties shall appear in the courtroom. But
even this rule is not rigidly enforced, and
during the last year several divorces have
been granted in chambers after hours.
A large majority of the complaints filed
allege cruel and inhuman treatment. The
usual method of being cruel is by using
physical force by choking. beating knock
ing down stairs. and occasionally a hatchet
is brandished by an angry husband. The
cruel treatment plea is not always lodged
against the husband. In one complaint
filed recently by husband against an
ing wife il was claimed that she had been
i'm the habit of throwing dishes at him. and
at one time hurled teacup that struck him
on the cheek cutting a cash. In some
other suits ii is claimed that the husband
has been convicted of crime and is impris.
oned in the state prison. which is valid
ground for divorce.
FAILURE TO PROVIDE
Failure TO provide is another cause
lied on often. This allegation is generally
accompanied by one OF abandonment In
petitions of this nature the defendant is
most always a nonresident and the notice
is had by publication in newspaper This
notice must be published for three success
sive weeks i'm a newspaper of general circu-
lation and the first publication must be
ffty-one days before the suit is tried The

Each Man Has His Fixed Place and
His Special Duty.
mons. in September Outing.

w. r. Simmons. in September Outing
Nowhere than on a cup defender Is it
more important to have man for each
place and every man In his place. The
crew is divided into gangs under the inn
mediate command of the mates. of which
there are usually two, and other subordi-
nate officers. The first mate controls the
set and trim of the headsails; the second
mate, under direction Of the skipper. the
handling Of the mainsheet; the captain"
of the bowsprit the carrying outboard and
masthead men and men assigned to work
in the rigging. But, whilo each man has
his designated place, In an emergency
every man not actually employed is re-
quired TO lend hand where needed. Dis
cipline. of course, is the rule. while alac-
rity and GOODNESS are the special require
ments.
The captain. at the helm. has his eye on
the trim and draught of the mainsail, the
most important detail I'm the art of sail
ing; but in his position at the wheel he
cannot see the headsais, and as those must
be watched by an experienced eye they are
under the immediate charge of the first
mate. This officer must be a man of good
judgment. for If the headsails are not prop
erly trimmed the yacht will not make her
best speed
The full crew of the defender is sixty
men. Besides them are the owner and his
guests, varying in number from six to a
Dozen as rule efficient amateurs who are
ready to lend hand at sheets or halyards
i'm case of need. Formerly the crew was
housed on the yacht, but that involved
stripping her of interior furnishings when
the time OF the match arrived. This incon-
venience, coupled with the increasing size
of the defender and corresponding en-
largement of the crew, led to the employ
ment of steam tenders TO accommodate the
owner and his men. Vigilant was the first
of defenders TO have regular tender. AT
the present time the hold OF the yacht is
used for slowing the sails actually needed
in the race. Even the duplicate sails are
carried on the tender.

idly have the weeks glided by and so gradu-

surprised TO find the last days of August
