arising from the great diversity in our
divorce laws and the necessity for i'm
mediately remedying them. He ex-
planned that as matters now stand 1t
is possible to obtain divorces much too
easily and frequently without any
adequate notice. People who are rec
ognized as being divorced in one state
are held to be still married in another
and, as result, much injury is done
to innocent parties. Grounds for sew
ering the marriage tie in one state are
held insufficient in another, while the
decisions of the federal courts differ,
from those in some OF the state trib-
unals upon this subject.
The Law Association of Philadelphia
has announced that all delegates can
have access to their library. The draft
of the Uniformity Divorce law has
been prepared and its numerous sec
tions were discussed today.

were woods on all sides Of except The front,

knew how to row and swim. so l made up my mind
10 learn to do both also. and after l had been
there about week l knew how to swim nearly
as well as they did; We went rowing and swim
