WOULD DO AWAY WITH
DIVORCES ENTIRELY

men to love her, to begin to look else
where for love when she sees only the
false loveiness in the other, Whlle at
home she has a man in real Ire. Sne
knows it will not be hard to get dl-
vorce and she knows that once di-
vorced she can easily wed again, so the
first thing her husband knows she mas
filed charges against him and is asking
the court for decree of divorce on
grounds that in China would be hooted
at.
'In China we have a different plan,
and although it is not liked by the
pleasure-loving and independent Wo-
men of America, yet our plan manages
to secure a better marital condition Tor
us than all the modern improvements
in the marriage line has done for
Americans.
Provides Home In Advance
when Chinese marries a daughter
of his own race, he generally mas a
little home for her to live in and TO
that little dovecote they go and the
peace and plenty of Chinese life be
gins. The wife sees no one unless 1t is
an occasional visitor to her husband,
She has plenty of women visitors but
she rarely seems any of the opposite
sex and so she has no chance to see
how many faults her husband has. She
has married him according to the
Chinese law and that means forever
and ever. There are no divorces there
and consequently no reason why she
should see others, when she must live
with her husband.
Occasionally there is trouble in the
household and if that cannot be set
tied by the mutual argument of the
family, the men of the Village maff-
age to settle it in some way and that
is the end of it. Husband and wife re-
turn to one another and all is happy,
while no fond mother-in-law hovers
about the girl telling her what a brute
of a husband she has.
1.-THE wife has her little amusements
as any other woman has. She has q
big garden and plenty to eat and wear
and a good place to sleep. She devotes
herself to the care of her children and
the household and to the love of her
husband. His word is law, but con-
trary to reports, Chinese husband
is rarely ever overbearing in his COM
mands. He would never think of
cursing or striking his wife.
"In that way they live happily to-
gether until they go down into the
shadows of old age, and there are no
abandonments of old wives by their
husbands for more frivolous younger
ones. He stays by her side though she
he pretty or ugly until the great God
calls him to his final resting place"

lirium tremens and moved hastily
across the aisle. The German followed,
still making frantic attempts to seize
his false teeth.
Welded Her Umbrella
Backward the woman went hitting
at the fat man with her umbrella, un-
til she reached the rear platform. The
conductor had signaled for a stop at
Sawtelle, and as the young woman
reached the step, the car stopped and
she leaped to the ground and started
to run.
Half tumbling and half running. the
toothless fat man started in pursuit,
and out in the dark night they ran,
while the other occupants Of the car
took UP the chase. The joke had ceased
to be joke with them and their pres
ence augured no good for the fat man.
But far in advance dashed De La
Monte. He was running his best and
coat tail and snatches of bad language
waited back on the still night air kept
him on the right track.
Within two blocks of the car De La
Monte half circled and turned in on
the flying couple Just as the young
woman saw that her pursuer was about
to capture her. She put her hands
over her eyes and screamed for help
and the quick hand of the constable
caught the German on the side of the
head and sent him spinning to a ditch.
Explanations in Order
Then explanations followed. De La
Monte explained about the teeth and
the fat man made profuse apologies and
asked for his molars. The crowd stood
around in sympathetic silence, content
at the turn of affairs, and the girl
reached up to get the stray teeth.
Then, horrors of horrors! there We're
no teeth. For fifteen minutes the
watchers marched up and down the
road with a car lantern and many
matches looking for the teeth until one
with a keen eye discovered the plate
with the shining grinders lodged in a
small cut in the road.
The wayward teeth were returned to
their owner who. with cry of joy,
snapped them, dirt, mud and all, into
his toothless mouth and marched back
to the car.
The car reached Ocean Park just in
time for the fat man to "set-'em-up."

MOTH STIRS UP

Trouble

The combination Of tired and sleepy

precipitated panic and nearly caused
damage to the passive Teuton. Had 1t
not been for the interference of Con-
stable De La Monte, the sleeper would
have been given a severe beating.
1t was the II o'clock car to the beach
city and De La Monte was occupying
a seat on the front end. A young wo-
man got on at the Fourth street sta
ton and seated herself in the enclosed
section. The car was just starting
when a portly man hoped on the car
and staggered to a seat just behind
the one occupied by the young woman.
The car whirred away on ITS TRIP
to the beach and as the broad fields
outside the city limits were reached the
fat man settled comfortably back IN
his seat and began to snooze.
Suddenly the other occupants of the
car. startled by q sound like that of
saving wood. noticed the fat man was
asleep and that from his parted lips
came the strange noise.
lnquisitive Moth Disappeared

around the electric light above, seemed
to take notice of the same thing, and
attracted by the sparkling ruby color
of the fat mans nose, the insect de-
scended in a swoop to investigate.
Round and round circled the moth,
occasionally dashing against the nose,
until a sharp intake of breath caught
it in midair and with a whirl of dust
the insect disappeared in the sleepers S
mouth.
There was a guffaw from the crowd
and wild yell from the startled
sleeper. With a mighty effort that
caused his face to, turn purple he
coughed out the moth and at the same
time the upper plate of his false teeth
shot skyward, and describing an arc,
landed costly in the trimmings of the
young woman's hat.
The fat man evidently had little mas
terry of the English language, and the
fact that he was sans half his teeth
did not seem to improve his enuncia-
ton.
"Gieb mir dem deeth," he shouted
in his excitement, and clutched franti-
cally at the hat. But the young Wo-
man had become alarmed at the fat
mans yell. His expression did not in
crease her confidence in his sobriety
and when he made a frantic dive at
her hat, splitting out broken English
and bad words at every jump, she de-
cided he had become crazed with de-

CHINESE TELLS WHAT THE
RESULTS WOULD BE
Philosopher Describes Conditions in
His Own Country, Where Separa-
tions Are Unknown-No
Mothers-in-LaW

There is only one way to correct this
divorce evil in America and that is to
do away with the divorce law entirely.
In China the men and women live to-
gether with never an alteration and
in no home in the world can such love
be found as that of the Chinese"
Such was the statement made yes
terday by L. A. Fawn, Chinese phil
osopher and linguist, who is recognized
in the local colony as one of the best
versed men of his race in the domestic
conditions existing in the orient.
LAS / understand the conditions in
America, everything seems to be wrong
with the divorce laws" said Fawn. I'm
the first place people are not satisfied
with what you call the interlocutory
decree of divorce because it is defective
in many ways and because one cannot
marry until a year after having re-
ceiVed that sort of a decree.
IF a divorce is granted which al
lows immediate freedom, then there is
another great cause for complaint be-
cause it is said that men and women
secure divorces by arrangement so that
they can Immediately go out and be
married again to someone else.
"In China all that is done away with
and perfect harmony exists and yet in
all parts of the world you hear it said
that the Chinese are heathens because
they treat their women so shabbily.
That is all great mistake.
1t Is Different Here
I'm this country when a man mar
ries it is only the beginning of trouble.
The women are allowed to run about
as they wish. Many of them even go 10
work and mingle with men all day long.
They become stenographers, clerks and
hold all kinds of positions. III that
way they naturally find men who seem
to appeal to them more than their first
husbands do. They meet men and see
only their polished side, while at home
they see hubby in his ugliest moods.
"Now it is not to be considered ex-
traordinary for young and pretty
woman who can find plenty of young

a price far in advance of the price paid
by other cities in the northwest for

the sale of his engine to the city.

This particular councilman was on the
fence whether to vote for Mr.. Longs
engine or for the Mott people. The
story goes. was to enter the employ
of the American Engine company to
boost for the Metropolitan engine, but
his duties were to be confined more to
the landing of that certain councilman
than to explaining the fine points of

be left to Mr.. Long.
