DENIED DIVORCE
TO SAVE CHILDREN
Chicago Judge Asks Parents to Take
| Case Out Of His Hands for Sake
of Little Ones.

Chicago, Dec. 18.-In one of the most
remarkable decisions ever made in a
divorce suit Judge Dever Of the SUI
perior court found Mrs. Harry o. Whit
lock, wife of postofflce employe and
defendant in the suit, guilty of in
fidelity.
Judge Dever, however, would not
grant at once q decree Of divorce.
"This case is not a sensation" he said,
1T is tragedy. For the sake of the
two little children Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Whitlock I shall request that the ulti-
mate decision in the case be taken out
Of my hands. Can't some agreement
be made between the couple whereby
the children can be saved this impend-
ing disgrace?
''If nothing can be done, then, OF
course, l shall be bound to issue a
final decree and at the same time to
set aside the cross bill filed by the
defendant"
The scene in the court room as
Judge Dever finished his verbel deci.
sion was dramatic For moment not
a person stirred and no word was
spoken by counsel for either side Then
William H. A. Rust, representing Whit
lock, approached the bar of the court
and quietly took from the judges desk
several pieces of documentary evil
dence. g..
Whitlock was sobhing in his chair
beside his lawyer and Mrs Whitlock,
on the other side Of the room, had
fallen back, sick and faint, into the
arms of her mother Mrs. Albert Nick

OTTUMWA WOMEN
SAVE MUCH MONEY

Instead of SO much meat great
many Ottumwa housekeepers are now
serving Minnesota" Macaroni twice
week. They say the men folks are
not only glad to see them save the
meat money, but like the delicious
nut-like flavor Of Minnesota" Maca-
roni much better than meat. 49,.
To those who do not know what a
big difference there Is in macaroni as
sold at the stores, the rich, delicious,
flavor of minnesota Macaroni will be
revelation 1t is four times as nu-
tritious as beef-steak, is much easier
to digest and costs only about one
cent a dish.
Try the handy Minnesota" Cut
Macaroni, which is cut into uniform
pieces-it cooks more evenly and is
quicker to prepare.-Advt.

SCOUTS'DRILL
One Of Many Features on Oul
Forthcoming Chau-
tauqua.
Trained Leader From Chicago
Scout Headquarters will
Train Local Lads.

A most Interesting feature OF the
forthcoming chautauqua here will
be presented by the boy scouts. A
skilled Boy Scout leader from the
headquarters in Chicago will train
a company of local boys for special
chautauqua Boy Scout program.
Among other drills these boys
will probably present an exhibition
of work in first aid to the injur-
3D." showing how to resusciCate the
apparently drowned, how to ban
dage. etc They will also give dem
onstratioRs of signaling, of tying
nautical knots and the like. They
will wear uniforms and the local
lads who get to participate in this
feature of the chautauqua will in
deed be lucky.
The Boy Scout movement has en-
rolled 10000 in the civilized coun-
tries of the world. More than TWEEN.
ty thousand have joined in the Unit
ed States this spring.
The movement aims to supplement
the various existing educational
agencies and promote ability in the
boys to do things for themselves and
others. The methods by which this
is brought about may be summed up
in the term Scout. craft" and is
combination Of observation. edu-
cation, and hardness. Scout.craft
includes instruction in first aid, life
saving. tracking, signaling, cycling,
nature study. seamanship. camp
craft, woodcraft. chivalry, patriot
ism, etc. The movement stands for
peace scouting and not military
training. In fact special badge of
merit is awarded to boys who help
in the project Of universal peace.

Texas The Greatest.

The new Texas. the worlds most
powerful battleship, was launched
at Newport News Saturday.
The Texas with all of her stores
aboard will displace %. 367 tons or
1000 tons more than the great
dreadnaught Arkansas. now about
ready for commission. She is 573
feet long. ninety-ffve feet two and
one-half inches beam. so that she
will have almost Is feet to spare in
passing through the Panama Canal
locks. Her draft will be twenty
eight feet six inches, and her speed
twenty-one knots. which would have
been high speed for a cruiser a few
years ago.
In the second place, the Texas will
be the first ship in the world to carry
fourteen-inch guns. She will have
ten of them distributed in five tur-
rets arranged on a central line from
stem to stern. The bigges. guns
now afoat in the American navy are
the rhirteen,inch rifles of the ia
nous old Oregon type, while the
best that the British navy can do is
to point to their lS.5-inch guns on
their latest battleships. In addition
to these monster guns the New
American ship will carry no less than
sixteen five inch rifles in place Of the
little three and four inch guns that
were formerly regarded as sufficient
for the secondary battery.
