The added attractions of the dedi-

above the father of waters.

far off Then let the work of prepal
alton be SO well done that such re
;. suits may follow that the event ma

Longer Life for the Broom

A little intelligent care will make
quite noticeable difference in the work
a broom will do and the length of time
it will wear. A broom that is used
every day should be washed once week
and this is most easily done by prepar-
ing bucketfui of suds made by dis
solving a tablespoon of Gold Dust wash
ing powder in hot water; dip the broom
up and down in these suds until the
straws are cleaned and bright; then
rinse and hang up to dry Ii new
broom is dipped in hot suds before used.
the straws will be toughened and will
not break SO easily. Always hang the
broom up after it is used.

DETROIT PASTORS PLAN TO
LIMIT REMARRIAGE or
DIVORCES TO INNOCENT
Committee viii Make Report To
Meeting of Ministers Union
Monday Morning
RECOGNIZE ONE GROUND
Scriptural Reason Only VIII Be
Considered Sufficient For
Breaking Marital Ties
RECOGNIZE ONE GROUND

To refuse to remarry divorced
persons, except the innocent party
TO divorce secured on Scripturai
grounds.
TO look carefully into the charac-
ter, age and health of contracting
parties before performing a mar
riage ceremony.
To adopt, in short, all precau-
tionary measures to insure a better
regulation of marriage conditions
In Detroit and vicinity.
The foregoing paragraphs represent
the gist of report to be made to
the Pastors union in its regular
monthly meeting, In the Y. M. G. A..
Monday morning, by the special COM
mittee appointed in the January meet
ing to look into the marriage situa-
tion In Detroit. following an address
on the divorce evil by Bishop Will
Jams. The committee n composed
OF the Rev. J. Frederick Fitschett, Jr..
pastor OF the Jefferson-ave. Presby-
terian church, chairman: the Rev.
Maurice Penfield Fixes. pastor of the
Woodward-ave. Baptist church: the
Rev. Eugene Antrim. pastor of the
North Woodward Methodist church,
secretary; the Rev. c. j. Tannar. pas
tor of the Christian church, and the
Rev. Mac II. Wallace. pastor OF the
Brewster Congregational church.
"The committee feels" said Mr..
Tannar to The Times, Saturday, that
much good will be accomplished in
bringing about reform In connec-
tion with the marriage situation I'm
Detroit, should the report be adopted.
OF course, the report Is subject TO
change, and II may not suit the mem
bers OF the union. However, the mem
bers of the committee are unanimous
in regard to the recommendations.
We believe that the suggestions II car
ried out, will do a lot OF good In re-
spect to the divorce evil. The clergy
will also look well into the character,
age and health of applicants for a
marriage ceremony. All these precau-
tions are important, but the one per
tanning 10 the marriage OF divorces,
we believe, calls for the exercise OF
The greatest care on the part OF the
clergy
while much good can come OF the
recommendations In Detroit, we re-
gret that they will not reach Windsor
ministers who appear to be somewhat
careless in connection with the mar
riage ceremony. However, We can
set good example and In that way
bring about general reform in this
community. 1t is moral issue with
the clergy, and we hope to improve
conditions by moral suasion. The
agitation, however, is only o repetition
OF what occurred in Detroit, some
seven OF .eights'years ago. At that
time we met In DIR. Maxon's church
and disgussed plans to bring about
different kinds of reform. Some OF
thesmen identified with the present
movement are new arrivals in the city
and were not connected with the for
mer undertaking. The recommenda-
tions we are now making are much
the same as we suggested in the for
mer campaign"
