EYE, EAR, NOSE, THROAT

At meeting of the board of health
at the city hall last evening, a plan
was approved which will be put into
effect during the fall whereby the
pupils of the schools of the city will
be subjected TO simple eye, ear, nose
and throat tests with view of discov-
ering defects affecting their work.
The plan is one advocated at pre-
vious meeting of the board by Health
Commissioner A. N. Mueller. and is
similar to one followed in the Chicago
schools and elsewhere in the larger
cities. The total cost of installing APP
paratus for the tests is about SIS. Elk
aminations will be made at the begin
ming of the fall and spring terms.
| Only about five minutes need be de-
voted to each pupil, the work being
done by the teacher.
| For the eye, vision chart is fur.
nished, with list of instructions. A
dozen simple questions supply the In
| formation TO detect any gross lesion
of the eye ear, nose and throat When
the test points 10 any diseases, the
teacher gives the pupil card of warn
ing, as follows:
| After due consideration, it is be
lieved that your child has some eye
or ear. or nose or throat disease. fol-
which your family physician or spe
ciaiist should be at once consulted. 1
is earnestly requested that this mat
ter not be neglected.
Hayden Approves.
H. b. Hayden, city superintendent
was present at the meeting of the
board Of health and approved of The
plan. The board of education will lool

MATRIMONIAL DIARY.

Within recent months we have
noted that more and more frequently
diaries have been Introduced into
divorce trials kept By one or both
parties to the suit, Sometimes taese
diaries were begun long previous to
any open disagreement between man
and wife, when one Or the other may
have ben unconscious Of any infeliclty
between them. In such case the I'M
suspecting one, all unguarded in his
or her innocence, has been daily re-
cording in the accusing book, every act
that would be prejudiced in the eyes
of court or jury set down in black
and white and in cold blood. There is
no distinction in law between divorce
sought in a hot temper and divorce
with malice aforethought.
We sincerely trust that the holy
bonds of matrimony" will not become
generally vitiated by the practice Of
keeping a diary dating from the we'd
ding day, and that bride and groom

HE DEFENDS DIVORCE.

Maine Judge Declares 1t Is a Rene
dy and Not an EVIL.
In the course Of an address before
the Twentieth Century Club upon the
subject of divorce, Lucillius A Emery.
chief judge of the Maine Supreme Jul
dicial Court, gave utterance to some
views that have created much COM
ment and discussion among the clergy
and others, Bangor (Me.) dispatch to
the New York Herald says. Judge EN-
cry said in part:
~ have read a great deal and heard
a great deal about the divorce evil.
Now, in my opinion, divorce is not an
evil, but rather remedy for evil. Like
other remedies for evil, it may and
does have attendant lesser evils, which
we must seriously consider and eliml-
nate If possible, but in itself divorce
is not an evil-it is remedy. The
evil precedes the divorce, but comes
after marriage. shall not consider
the moral side of the question. l am
speaking from the legal standpoint
alone in considering this remedy for
many of the evils Of society.
Marriage is a civil institution, es-
tablished by statute for the benefit of
man. 1t is not a sacrament. There
is nothing divine about 1t, but it is a
purely human institution. Law has es-
tablished it. Its rights and abuses are
defined, not by the church, but by law.
ITO be sure, divorce may, In a sense,
have an Ill effect upon society. 1t
would be better, Of course, If all mar
rIages were ideal, but they are not.
We find these terrible conditions. The
remedy may be a choice Of two evils,
but I say that in choosing divorce So
ciety has chosen the lesser. 1 have
heard 1t said that divorce should not
be granted because Of the children, but
l maintain that It is better for them
not only better, but less hurtful And
1 say these things In the light Of hon.
est experience"

Legal Information

1t appeared in the case of Dam "
Kirke La Shelle Co., 166 Federal Re
porter, $50, that complainant, suing
to restrain infringement Of the copy
right on one Of his stories, had orig,
inaiiy sold it to a publishing COM
pany, which published it with other
articles in copyrighted number of
magazine. Some time later on the
company assigned back to the author
its copyright on the magazine so far
as it covered this particular story.
Plaintiff thereupon brought action
against defendant for infringement by
a dramatization of his production. The
United States Circuit Court held that
the necessary steps for obtaining a
copyright were taken by filing with
the librarian of Congress the title
page of the magazine and complying
with the other provisions of the copy
right statute, without the necessity
of filing any copy Of the title of each
separate article published in the mag
azine. The original sale to the COM
pany by the author gave it full au-
thority to take cut copyright, and
it's retransfer vested in him the right
to sue for infringement.
AS an aftermath to the cases of
Haywood and Pettibone in Idaho
comes the question in Schmelzel V.
| Board of Com'rs, 100 Pacific Re-
| porter, 106, as to the liability of
the county for the expense of shaving
and cutting hair of the jurors during
| their deliberations. The statutes pro
vide for a per diem compensation OF
jurors, and that they be furnished
suitable and sufficient food and lodg,
ing during their confinement. The
question as to the county's liability
seems to depend on whether it was a
necessary expense in the administra.
ton of justice. 1t was insisted that it
was necessary from a sanitary point
| of view, and besides, the jurors could
not go to the barber shop themselves
and secure the service because they
were kept together and under guard
| anu IL was h0S0Soaly " nave the par
bers come to the jury room. In an.
swer to this contention the Idaho Su.
preme Court remarks that, concedine
these things as true, the barber could
have as easily gone to the jury room
and shaved the jurors and cut their
hair at the expense of the individual
jurors as he could at the expense oil
the county. The necessity for this
was not entailed or brought about by
reason Of the men serving on the jury
Their whiskers and hair would grow
just the same at home or at their Of
hces or places of business as they
would while serving on the jury. Re
covery was denied

Six Companies FIVE months ago ap-
pealed to the Chinese consul general
to stop war between several of the
tongs. The best he could do was to
get them to declare a truce, which
lasted until the Chinese New Year.
SSlt as these lines are being written
the New Year festivals have ended
and the tong war has again hssun.
1t must not be inferred, however.
that the tongs typlfy the mass of the
Chinese, who are generally peaceable..
The tongs seem to be bands of crlml-
nails working something like the

they work, the Hop Sing Tong has OK
fered a reward of $1,000 for the death
of any officer of the Suey Sing Tong.
These rewards are not printed in the
American or Chinese newspapers, but
are placed on the walls of Chinatown.

tons should be taken against emer-
gencies. A diary in the possession of
either one of the happy welded pair"

may introduce the first serpent into

weapons into the connubial state, and
diary toting of this sort is as repre-
