for which members and their families
will receive concessions in the cost of

to earn a livelihood when discharged
from the sanatorium-

ON AN ABSOLUTE DIVORCE
Efforts of Judge to Bring About Reconciliation Between

PARIS, June Elm a few hours Count
and Countess BOni de Castellane will
appear for the last time before Judge
Ditte, who will do his utmost to bring
about a reconciliation, but who viii not
succeed, the countess being determined
to obtain an absolute divorce.
She has returned fere for that very
purpose from London, where she has
been visiting her brother and sister-in-
law, Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Gould, who
stopped at the CO rlton for some time,
before they returned to America
There will be e lengthy hearing. and
the countess will then, through her at
torney, Edmund Kelly, make formal
demand for divorce. She will also. for
the first time. support her application

All efforts to effect reconciliation have
failed. The countess is determined upon
divorce and rejects all overtures from
Count Boni. The countess remains on
friendly terms with the counts brother,
but has not seen Boni. except in Judge
Ditte's chamt ers, since she startled two
continents by fleeing from home with
her children.

the problem of aerial navigation. He
expects that in a very few years we
shall see the American millionaire cross

as he now does in his private yacht.
Several of them have already now

are beginning to become too common,
