STORM AGAIN PREVENTS WILD
WEST SHOW AT ELECTRIC PARK.

The heavy rains of last night again
prevented a performance of Kemp's
Wild West show at Greater Electric
Park, disappointing a crowd of pleas
ure-seekers who had braved the storm.
Thos of the crowd who had fingered
at the arena until the last minute, ex-
pecting the management to change its
mind about giving a show, then ran
helter-skelter to the dancing pavilion.
Dancing was enjoyed until a late hour.
1t was announced that a special one-
mile speed dance would be held at the
park tomorrow evening, when three
special prizes will be awarded those
judged as the best dancers. This
proved a popular feature with the pa
irons of the park last season, and it was
only that a number of requests had
been received suggesting a continuation
of these contests that the management
decided to revive prize dancing. With
in the next few days several new per-
formers, including an Indian squaw
huckine horse rider, will join the Wild
West show.

NEW BALLOON FOR ONE BOLT
HIT AT HILLSIDE PARK.

Leo Stephens, manufacturer of air
ships and balloons, is at work on a
gas-bag to be used on the airship at
Hillside Park Hippodrone. 1t will re-
place the bag destroyed by lightning
at the park on Saturday night. The
management suffered a loss of $1,000
by the electric bolt. The new bag will
be ready. 1t is expected, for the per-
Torrance on Sunday afternoon. The
auxiliary gas-bag. which is always in
hated at the an time as the other,
and which was blown away in the
storm, was found in the Hackensack
meadows. 1t vas returned to the park
yesterday by the finder, a boy.
One of the most inviting places in
the park in these hot summer days is
the swimming pool. 1t is locatedfi in the
northeastern section in a secluded spot
just adapted for the purpose.
New features have made a very. at
tractive program for the Wild West
show.

more clearly realized the opponents
OF the good roads movements are be.
ing converted by the hundreds and
It IS easy to see that the improve
ment of roads is fast becoming state
and national work rather than the
work of a small local "pathmaster
such as is still noticeable in less pro-
gresslve sections of this and other
states.
For this change no one will question
the fact that the automobile is the
factor which is most worthy of notice.
In this way it is having a strong in
tiuence in the politics of the state and
the nation not only as regards the
roads movement, but also with refer
ence to the many other problems that
are connected directly or indirectly
with that movement. Through its in
ttuence the needs of different sections
will be made the common needs of
much larger communities and as the
use OF the auto becomes more general
its influence in determining the laws
of the state will be felt more and
more keenly just as it's influence is
being felt in social way.

FARMERS OPPOSED STATUTE
Automobile Drivers Have Proved
Themselves Effective in Securing the
Repair of the Highways in Some
Sections Of the State.

The recent enactment by the state
legislature of law providing for the
improvement of roads by state aid
must have more than passing signif-
canoe to the local autoists. This new
bill provides for the expenditure of
100000 of the state funds each year
and the regulation of this expense is
left to commission of three mem
bers. This commission has been select
ed and the machinery of the new law
is now ready for operation.
How far the considerations Of the
automobile enthusiasts have entered
into the enactment of this new law it
is hard to state, but it is certain that
the auto is to large extent response
BILE for this step toward improvement
of crying need.
At the time that this bill was being
considered before the legislature there
was strong opposition to it among
the farmer representatives from the
southern and southeastern sections of
the state because they seemed to feel
that as their own roads were in good
condition they would be called upon
to pay taxes for the Improvement of
roads in the northern part of the state.
To certain extent this might be
true for it is a well known fact that
the roads in the north and west are
badly in need of Improvement which
is beyond the power of the more or
less scattered population to accom-
plish.
In opposition to this apparently To-
cal selfsbness on the part of legisla
tors from some counties in southern
Wisconsin it is conceded that the
automobiles did the most effective
work. They brought before the law
makers picture Of the state from
the standpoint of one who considers
the needs of the people of the state
as whole rather than Of small
part. Their experience gave them a
broader prospective and a clearer idea
of the benefits that the good roads
movement would bring to the state as
a whole.
1t is noticeable, too, chat the mem
bers OF auto clubs are not content to

Undesorved reproach and serious le-
gal troubles may be brought upon a
number of divorced persons in the
state through a misunderstanding of
the divorce laws which provided for
interlocutory DEGREES being granted by
the courts and of the amendment to
this law governing the entering of the
final decree. The confusion arises
from the belief of most divorced per-
sons that the amendment of the law
applies equally to all interlocutory de-
crees of divorce of record in the courts
when as a matter of fact it can and
does apply only to those interlocutorv
DEGREES granted and entered since The
passage of the amer nent. The di-
Vorce law permitting the courts to
grant interlocutory DEGREES as original.
ly passed provided that the parties to
a divorce must appear in person in
the court after the expiration of a
year for the entering of the final de-
cree before they could marry again and
the amendment made provides that
the divorce decree shall become final
automatically at the expiration of a
year without the appearance in court
OF either of the parties Now di.
voTcees whose DEGREES were granted
before the passage of the amendments
have the mistaken idea that it applied
to their cases also and are marrying

tormality Of having their DEGREES made

to prosecution for bigamy, making
the children by the second marriage

distribution of their estates. Tn +bis
county and many of the others con.
selentious attorneys have made an eff
fort to bring their former clients into
court and have the records straiobten-
ed out so that no trouble can arise
in the future by the entry of the final
decree IN all cases with which thew
were connected before the passage Of
the amendment but it has been found
impossible to reach some of the parties
to these actions and suits based ON
the invalidity of some of these second
marriages are bound to appear on the
calendars of the courts of Wisconsin
in years to come which can have bpt
one outcome. The courts will hold
that the second marriage is illegal and
that the second wife and her children
have no standing in court because of
the failure to enter the final decree
under SAe law as originally passed.

take only what is given by this law
under the direction of the good roads
commission They have, in fact, start
ed a good roads movement of theif
own and have begun the Improvement
of one road that will cross the state
from east to west, and another that
will reach from the southern line of
the state to the shore of Lake Su-
perior This movement under the di-
rection of the Wisconsin State Auto
mobile association will be of more
benefit to the state and to the farmers
especially, than most of the people re-
alize.
Combining the efforts of those en-
thusiastic autoists with those of a
good roads commission who are
authorized to spend the sum of $780,
600 annually on the roads of the state
the results will be far beyond the ex-
pectations Of those who worked hard
for the enactment of the good roads
bill.
In this same way the automobile
has come in for it's share in the guild
ing Of law makers in nearly every
state in the union. It is to large
extent responsible for the support
given to good roads movement every
where. Even in the southern states
where the problems confronting the
makers Of good roads are far more
troublesome than in this state, the au-
to men have taken steps for the build
ing of roads at their own expense
when the state legislatures have re-
fused to give them the desired aid.
But as the roads are being built and
thir benefits are being more and

The tramps are more numerous just
now than eyer before at this time of
the year and the people in the western
part Of the city are already planning
on relief measures when the regular
hobo season opens. In this connection
it has been suggested that the county is
going to need big lot of broken stone

Tt is rather surprising that some OF
the automobile clubs have not posted
warning signs at some of the street
railway crossing in this city. All over
the country the signals for the protec-
ton Of the drivers may be seen at
places not half so dangerous.
