DIVORCE IN DECLINE
Los Angeles Plan Lowers Rec
ordS in Court 90 Per Cent.
Homes Are Not Broken Up and City
Enforces Payments Of Alimony,
and Soon Husbands and
Wives Mako up.
CITY PRICES

Los Angeles, Cai--That so per cent
of the cases of trouble between man
and wife, which formerly would have
ended In divorce and the breaking up
OF home, now end In reconciliation
under the system of "divorceless' ALI
mony, is the statement of Hugh @.
Gibson, chief probation officer; and
that much larger percentage could
be saved from divorce II q larger stan
and more means we're obtainable is
the opinion he advances az a result
OF trying this system for two years.
The "diyorceless" alimoay consists,
In the payment of alimony without d.
Vorce proceedings, and has been in
eject since January /, 1911, when IL
became law that failure to provide
is felony Before that time the only
redress a woman had on this ground
was divorce. Now she may apply to
the courts or the probation depart
ment, II there are children, on the
ground OF felony--and hubby" must
pay up. the alternative being the rock
pile.
And II he goes on the rock pile at
$3.50 day-'more than the average
man makes. according to Gibson-the
court collects the entire amount and
pays II to his wife and children.
y believe fully half our cases are
saved from divorce now" said Mr.
Gibson. In year We must average
500 cases where there is failure to
provide; we easily save $50 out OF
that number from divorce Unless
the trouble is very real and hard
mans heart Is apt to soften toward
his wife and babies within q few
months. and in I'VE per cent OF The
cases. within sixty or ninety days he
makes oyertures OF peace and effects
reconciliation. or course We con
tinue to keep supervision over the
families particularly II there are
children. And sometimes the peace
business doesn't go, and they are back
on our hands; but usually It sticks.
and Instead of divorce q ruined home
and children without a father. there Is
happy home with everything as it
should be.
In the last year we have handled
approximately SIT, 900 in this divorce

CHAPTER K.

when Gloria Kerr returned from
St Louis she found half a hundred
calling cards awaiting her. The wom-
en- she was anxious TO meet had called
while she was out of town. Those
who delayed their visits until her re-
turn were people whom she readily
recognized as being quite on the
outer fringe of society. In them she
was not Interested. When Gloria went
to return the calls Of those whom she
had come to know were regarded as
the first families Of Belmont. she
found no one at home.
Somewhat mortified, but making no
confession OF her feelings even to
Mrs. Gilbert, Gloria threw herself into
the work of remodeling Locust Lawn
with all the vigor she would other
wise have expended upon social du-
ties Her active uperinteudence kept
her good part OF the time in the
country, although she still made her
home with Mrs Gilbert. Sometimes
she would pass the night at Locust
Lawn out of a sense of duty to her
father The evenings spent in his
company We're not ones of unalloyed
pleasure. More and more she was
coming to acknowledge to herself that
her father did not, could not enter
into her life. into the activities which
gave her pleasure.
Kerr honestly tried, but it was i'm
possible. For one thing, he was en-
gagged in a heated political campaign,
fighting to retain supremacy. Gloria,
on her side, saw that she had been
rebuffed socially. and was not on close
enough terms of intimacy with her
father to tell him about ii. The girl
knew that he had been the social lead
or in Belmont, and she was ashamed
that she had not been able to win all
hearts as he had done

Arnmons Returns from Inspection.

Denver. - Governor Ammons re-
turned from a three-day trip of inspec
tion OF conditions in the southern coal
fields. The governor said he would
have to take time to consider the re
suit OF his journey before he could
make any definite statement. The
Colorado Fuel & Iron Company issued
copy Of the payroll of the Rouse
mine in Huerfano county for August
The wages paid at this mine are said
to be no higher than those paid at
other mines in the state. Eleven of
the men earned between 500 and Sl10
a month, while thirteen made be-
tween $40 and S120 a month. The
figures show that nine earned be-
tween $3.50 and s160, five earned be
tween sl60 and S110. and two men
made more than S170 during the
month. The average daily wage fol'
all the miners was SAL, while seven

days in the month average s4.75 day

"whatd I get out OF IT." drawled

I Seven votes in the house and two

Again the apostle Of practical poll
tics sat back and took stock OF the
situation Belmont was nothing to
him. It mattered nothing at al TO
him how the town went as far as city
affairs were concerned Nine votes
we're not TO be despised. He was eau

lars.

asked.

fall and III let the opposition have it
their own way Name your men now

That many's bound to make the
legislature ours on joint ballot"
Kerr knew this. but he was quite
willing TO change the political com
plexion OF the legislature of a great
state, perhaps hamper the governor
IN wise and necessary legislation and
keep the state from having a senator
of its own choice all to hold Belmont
for his own. McMinitry was no less
willing TO change victory into defeat
and hand the city over TO the rapacity
OF the Interurban Railway Company,
only to retain his senatorial Office
An right" he consented but
you've got TO do two things: take

IN take care OF the boys all right.

do-1'm going to buy the News"
Can you?"
I've got 10 have it. and don't care
how, but it's got to be mine"
Got any idea" asked the senator.
No. but every mans got his price,
Jim, In some form or other If he
had time for reflection. David Kerr
would have enjoyed this remark. since
It was given a humorous turn by the
fact that he had just discovered the
price OF the junior senator from his
own state.
IN go up to the postoftice and call
on some of the boys" said McNinitry
as Kerr rose to go. IN have to tell
Davidson and Peake. When you get

It's going TO be for me il I can
nave anything to say about it"
Well, you don't seem to be going

with the nearest approach to sarcasm

view Even if the legislature is con-
trolled by your party, you've got a
fight on your hands There's Con-
gressman Jenkinson and old man Gra-

ognition for a long time"
McMinitry did not answer at once
He got up from the table and walked
to the window. When at last he
turned to Kerr the question had been
gone over thoroughly in his mind.
