4DTTCE FOR CHIC4GO.
Professor Terry Recommends ILLINOIS
DirOrce Bill.

IF the Chicago Board OF Aldermen and Alder
man Brittsn really want to accomplish something
toward lessening the divorce evil they'd better
take action toward furthering the passage OF the
divorce bill which has been before the Illinois
Legislature for two years urged by the congress
on uniform divorce laws
Charles Thaddeus Terry. member Of the
faculty OF Co1u1h hia Law School and one Of the
New York State delegates appointed by Governor
Higgins to the divorce congress made the fore
going statement yesterday n commenting on The
Tribunes dispatch from Chicago regarding the
proposed activities Of the Board Of Aldermen in
relation 70 cur6ing the divorce evil.
That bin the result of long and careful
study nv delegates from every state in the country
except South Carolina. which does not recognize
divorce has no divorce laws, and therefore sent
no delegates 10 the conference" went on Nj.
Terry. II had two main ideas-ro prevent the
granting OF hasty divorces by compelling the
granting Of an interocutory decree is the rule
in this state. and forbidding the granting Of .
final decree urrH six months oraa year after the
granting of rhe inJerlocurorv decree; and 70 pre-
vent migratory divorces that Is, the obtaining Of
divorces in 9 state where divorce is easy bv a
citizen OF another state. who obtains only noni-
nal residence n the easy state
The rule of granting final decree six months
or q year after the granting of the interlocutory
decree undoubtedly prevents many hasty divorces
since II strikes A. what is al the root Of ali If
vorres. the desire 70 make quick change Of
s7ouses. Tt offers opportunity for the healing Of
many rrsa Ches between pialntT and DEFENDANT EE
giving them time 70 reflect. and the knowledge OF
that period Of waiting probably prevents the fling
Of many divorce actions.
"Cf much Importance Is rhe enactment Of leg1sls-
tton 70 nur an end migratory divorces. At pres
ent there are states which actually pur premium

the proposed bill, which insists bona fde

DUPONT TAKES
THE FIRST GAME
Has Little Trouble Defeating
RiVerVieW in First Of
Series Of Games

dupont and Riverview met IN the
first game of their series for the
of the city on Saturday.
DUPONT winning to 0. IL was a hard
fought game from start to finish and
the closeness of the score indicated
how evenly matched these two teams
are. Crouch and Beck were both in
great form and hits on both sides
were scarce, although Beck was in
cline dto be trife wild at times. The
fielding by both teams was on the big
league order "a difficult catch by Har
rington in left field being a feature
This makes q straight innings during
which Crouch has not allowed a run
or walked a man, which shows that
the big south-paw is pitching great
ball. The game was also featured by
the Riverview fans who produced a
big noise with their horns and rattles.
The two teams meet again next Sat
urday on the Riverview grounds and a
great crowd is looked for, especially
since the first game has proven so
close and exciting. The score:
