UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS.

A decision has been rendered by the
Southern Appellate Court of Illinois,
which furnishes a most potent arsu-
mcnt for uniform divorce laws as be-
tween the several States. II appears
that under the Illinois law remar-
riage within twelve months after the
decree has been granted is inhibited
The courts decision is that the law
reaches outside the State; that is to
say, rernarriagc Of parties TO an llIi-
nois divorce is not only Illegal II
the ceremony is performed in Illinois.
but also Illegal in the State, even IL
tho remarriage takes place in another
State
The decision has occasioned wide
spread complications and embar"ass-
ment. over 5000 Illinois couples are
affected by it, the children OF such
coupler have no standing in law, and
will not be permitted to inherit prop
erty. since their position is the Same
as that of children born out of we'd
lock. More than that, as We under
stand, all couples coming under the
decision must romarry at once If they
would continue to live In Illinois with
out running the risk of prosecution
under the misdemeanor statutes
The enactment by all the other
states of divorce laws embodying the
spirit and the effect. in their opera
tion, OF the Illinois law. might go far
towards rcmedying the divorce evil
and purifying the social and domestic
| atmosphere in some sections of tho
country.

pairs were exported, while In 1910 thu
expectation was moro than 1000. oot

about 100000 pairs will be exported

number OF American made boots and
shoes exported in 1911 up to an aver
age of 100000 pairs per month
against about 100000 the year twenty
years ago.
This Increase in shoe exports is a
remarkable tribute TO tho merit of
tho shoes that We make, because 1t
has come despite the large manu-
facturc in foreign countries of boots
and shoes called American" made
by foreign worlimen and of foreign

methods. II is apparent that the num-
Der OF boots and shoes of American

much greater than that Indicated by
the export figures In exports of boots

the total for 1912 will aggregate more
than 100000, Including india rub

The United Kingdom is the main
rival of the United states in boot and
shoe exports. Its exports are yet
greater, in total number of pairs ,.ud

less rapid than that of our country.

the history Of the world of science
Nine Curie frst came prominently into

achievement in itself sufficient to place
her In tho front rank of women scjon-

the discovery to that OF NJ. Curie. al

her right to full share in it-eyen
preponderating share.
Since hcr husbands death Nine. Gu

been such as to discredit absolutely
those who believed, or pretended to be-
lievc, that she could not stand upon
her own merits. Her contributions TO
