who favor the proposal, and woman
suffragist leaders at headquarters OF

Senator Thomas of Colorado, chair
man of the committee in charge OF
the proposed amendment, expects to
bring it up as soon as Congress set
ties down to work after the Christ

vor it say its earlier consideration has
been prevented only by the pressure
for passage of the administration cur
rency bill.

Currency Measure In Conference.

Washington, Dec 22.-The task Of
settling the differences between the
House of Representatives and the
Senate in the administration currency
bill was taken up in earnest Saturday
by the Democrats Of the conference
committee of the two houses, headed
by Senator Owen and Representative
Glass.
The Republicans of the committee
did not attend.
No. one would predict when an
agreement would be reached, and
Representative Glass flatly declared
that the differences were serious and
no immediate agreement was looked
for.
The amendments indorsed by the
House were those providing that six
months commercial paper shall be
eligible for re-discount at the federal
banks instead of three months paper
only, as originally provided by the
House bill, and giving national banks
the right to make loans on five-year
farm mortgages up to one-third of the
time deposits.

Seeks to Grab Improved Claim

Los Angeles, Nov. 13.-A peculiar
case came up in the local land office
yesterday in the contest instituted by
James L. Hickey of Yuma against
Arthur L. Keene of this city, involv-
ing a forty-acre unit in the Yuma re-
clamation project.
Hickey charged that the entry was
for a homestead and that Keene had
been absent from the land for a year,
although it was admitted that work
had been done on the small farm.
The charge of abandonment neces-
sary to maintain an action under the
homestead law was not made, but it
was claimed that the fact that Keene
had not been on the land argued
abandonment even if it could be
shown that work had been done in
his behalf.
Registrar Buren ruled that Hickey
would have to amend his contest affi-
davit, saying that if the allegations
of the contestant, are proven it might
not be sufficient reason for canceling
the entry, as it might be shown that
Keene had a leave of absence from
the place or that his family occupied
it in his absence.
An effort was made by Keene's at
torney to get stay of thirty days to
answer the amended petition, but this
was not granted, and Hickey's testi-
mony was put on. Keene will follow
later.

Trial Marriage

Minneapolis, Nov. 13.-Divorce was
characterized as "the greatest ques-
tion in the world today and as ma
tional crime against childhood and a
confession of failure and weakness by
the American people" by Bishop J. N.
Mccormick of Grand Rapids, Mich, in
an address before the International
Purity Congress here.
"The number of divorces granted in
America is an evidence that we favor
trial marriage, and that we are prac-
ticing progressive polygamy," con-
tinued the speaker.
America is held up, and rightly, as
the land of easy divorce. Divorce
used to be shameful; now it is almost
respectable.
"One of the causes of divorce is
the flippant attitude we adopt toward
it. Men and women actually boast of
the number of their marriages. The
number of our professional divorce
lawyers is disgrace to the country
"If we spent less time on the prob
lem of divorce and more on the prob
lem of marriage, the world would be
better off.
make our homes more attractive
and cultivate the old-fashioned virtue
of patience, contentment, self-sacri
I.
divorce evil will disappear.
"a step which will aid in its solu-
ton would be for the clergy of all
churches to agree not to marry per-
sons who could not be'married in their
own church."
