This Subject Probably Will Be
Made Prominent at the SeS-
sion of Five Years Meeting
In October.
THEY DO NOT BELIEVE
I'M DIVORCE DEGREES.
The Program for the Five
Years Meeting Is Now Be-
ing Prepared by James
Wood of Mt. Kisco. N. Y.

At the Five Years Meeting of
Friends to be held in this city begin
ming October 10 it is very likely that
radical action will be taken. asking
that there be legislation enacted MAX
ing more stringent divorce laws.
Timothy Nicholson of this city is
chairman of the legislative committee
for the Five Years body and he is
greatly alarmed at the spread of the
divorce evil in America. He said in
speaking of the matter that he favors
national law which will govern di-
vorce and he also wants a law regulat-
ing marriages. Mr.. Nicholson feels
that the matter of divorce and mar
riage should not be left to the state
but should be handled by congressio-
nal legislation.
If he could have his way, Mr.. Mich
olson would throw about marriage
such barriers as would prevent hasty
and Improbable unions and then
would refuse divorces absolutely Mr.
Nicholson likes the Indiana marriage
law passed by the legislature two
years ago but thinks that it should
have a provision in it, making it nec-
essary for applicants for marriage
license to publish their intentions in
the newspapers ten days prior to Sc
curing a license.
No Belief in Divorce.
The Friends do not believe in di-
vorce and base their belief on the BIZ
bic. Mr.. Nicholson says there is but
one place in the new testament where
divorce is countenanced, and that in
case of unfaithfulness of the marriage
ties. Even this passage, Mr.. Nichol-
son, says there is reason for believing
was not in the original bible.
Il am alarmed" said Mr.. Nicholson.
about the increase of divorce and

port to the general body. / cannot
prepare my report until | hear from
the various members of the commit
tee over the country. We have al
ways stood for divorce legislation but
we must be even stronger from now
on, for the divorce evil threatens to
ruin our nation"
1t has been demonstrated in the
past that the Friends exert a great
influence over the legislation of the
country and the above statement of
Mr. Nicholson for this reason may be
considered as significant
Preparing Program.
The program for the Five Years
Meeting is being prepared by James
Wood of Mt. Kisco, New York. Just
who the leading speakers will be is
not known There will be reports
from the following standing commit
tees Peace, legislation, foreign mis-
sions, negroes, education, evangelistic
work, church extension and Indian af-
fairs. The discussions will be in the
hands of essayists who will be twenty
minutes each. The essayists will be
by secondary essayists, who
will be allotted ten and five minutes.
Although the Five Years Meeting
has no authority to expend money, it's
work is most important as the differ
ent Yearly Meetings are practically
governed by it's action.

Lou. J. Beauchamp spoke before n
large audience at the chautauqua We'd
nesday afternoon. and different from
the night preceding. his effort was
splendid, full of ideas to make his
hearers think. interspersed with some
really humorous bits and pleasing to
all who heard IL.
The Sunny Side of Life" was the
subject of Mr.. Beauchamp's discourse,
but the subject does not truly represent
the matter with which he worked. The
gloomy side Of life. or rather some dis
tressing phases OF the present day life
were pictured The sunny feature came
in that Mr.. Beauchamp feels that the
nation is on the eve of a religious
awakening following what he terms
has been moral awakening.
Statistics were given showing the in
crease i'm crime in this country. The
speaker held this could be attributed TO
the non-enforcement OF the law. He
presented surprising figures on the re-
duction of the number of murders in |
Indiana under the administration Of
Governor Hanly. The speaker paid
Indiana's governor a distinct tribute,
calling him man and not a mere poll
tician. Although the compliment to
Hanly was intended as one OF the cli-
makes of the lecture II fell. flat and
not hand was struck nor a voice rails
ed in commendation OF the speakers,
words.
Is Little Free Speech.
Mr.. Beauchamp made the assertion
that the chautauQua platform had come
to be the only place OF absolute free
speech. He declared that there was
no longer free speech in the pulpits.
"Oh, no." said he. ''the minister owes
too much to the dear old brother who I
sits in the front pew TO say anything
against the saloon, or gambling dens. {,
If he does he is accosted by. the pillar
Of the church following the sermon
and told that he was engaged to preach /
the gospel and not to talk politics. Tho
dear old brother is renting his proper
ty to the saloon and the gambling den"
There was some applause at this
point. The speaker observed that tha !
applause was pretty weak. Then came
an outburst showing that the audience
agreed with what was said Most OF
those in the assembly were women and
this drew from Mr.. Beauchamp: III you
men had the courage of the woman
hood of the country. we would make
things better"
The charge was made that there is
no longer free speech on the political
platform. and that political parties no
longer follow principles, but policies.

the bible to the school room. Mr.. Beau

Stress was laid on the disrupted

the alarming number OF divorces

crime was accounted for by the d.

AsSoCiating With Josie Bond
Has Resulted in 1t Be-
ing Broken Up.
CASE IN THE CITY COURT.
MRS. GROSS APPEARS AT A WIT
NESS AND THEN LEAVES TO
CONSULT AN ATTORNEY RE-
GARDING A DIVORCE.

In the city court there was rehears-
ed a little domestic tragedy of real
life. In the witness chair sat re-
fined, sad-faced woman. In the pris-
oners' row sat man with bowed head
the picture of shame. Nearby sat
woman of the streets, utterly indif-
ferent to the proceedings and to the
fact that she had destroyed what had
once been a happy home. She sneer-
ed at the woman in the witness chair
and grinned contemptuously at the
shame-faced man. These three were
the principals in the case. The man
was Charles Gross, the woman in the
witness chair was Mrs. Gross. The
hard faced, disreputable woman in the
prisoners row was Josie Bond, the
cause of all the domestic woes of the
Gross family.
Mrs. Gross was the prosecuting wit
ness against Josie Bond, who was
charged with provoke. Gross was in
court on charge of associating with
the Bond woman. Mrs. Gross stated
that her husband had left home Mon
day morning and that she did not see
him again until Tuesday morning,
when he road past the home in
phaeton She called to him and asked
him to come back but he paid no at
tention to her Mrs. Gross stated that
later she heard that her husband had
been with the Bond woman. Mrs.
Gross in company with a woman
friend went to Josie Bonds home and
asked her if it were true that she had
been out with Gross. She told Mrs.
Gross that she had taken a buggy
ride with him and that they drank
whiskey together. Mrs. Gross stated
that the Bond woman concluded the
interview by provoking her by calling
her a vile name. Il suppose I'm guilty;
I remember of cussing her" chimed
in Josie in a high pitched harsh voice.
Judge Converse then fined her $40 and
costs. Josie will serve her time in
close confinement at the woman's
jail.
Gross admitted that his wife had
spoken truthfully and he said that he
had nothing to say in his own defense.
Prosecutor Jessup asked that he be
given the limit the law provides for
this offense but Judge Converse fined
him s25 and added TO this thirty
DAYS Jail sentence. Mrs. Gross left
the cart room to see an attorney
whom she will employ In assisting |
her TO get a divorce.

that John has settled down and is
working hard at the present time The

A NEW SCHOOL DESK.
Provides Support for the child's Back,
Where II Is Most Needed.

In the belief that proper seating
facilities play an important part in
the welfare of school children, George
w. Ehler. supervisor of physical
training, and Director Of Schools
Charles Orr worked until they have
perfected what they believe is the
best seat and desk In the country,
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The seat is constructed according to
Ehler's own plans and is based upon
an exhaustive set of measurements
made by him last year in the schools.
1t provides support for the child's
back, where It Is most needed, at the
base of the spinal column and the
small OF the back. Another strong
point is that the seat proper is pitched
backward only slightly, keeping the
body at restful angle. Both seat
and desk are adjustable. The new
desks are being installed In all the
new buildings and grow In favor
wherever put.
Until the perfection OF Ehlers i'm
proved seat there were two forms of
desk used in the schools. The first
was the oldfashioned desk, not ad-
Unstable at all, and made in unvary-
Ing sizes for the different grades. II
presupposed that ell children in the
same grade would be OF a size.
Then came the so-called 'liver-pad"
desk. The back Of the seat in this
style of desk consisted of single
concave rest, to be placed at that
point where the child's back most
needed support. This was faulty in
two respects. In the first place 1t
was narrow and held the child's body
In vise-like grip and in the second It
