AND EASIER DIVORCE
The old-fashioned members of the
First Methodist church heard some
terrible" things last night.
' They heard DIR. Anna Blount, Mrs.
Antoinette Funk, Mrs. Benjamin E.
Page, Judge Gemmill and others get
up on the pulpit and ask for easier
divorces. -......
They stood it for a while and then
most of the old ones, one by one,
slowly drifted out. -
"Give us easy divorces! Recon-
mend compulsory divorce in some
cases! Why should a man and wo-
man, untitled for each other, ruin
their whole lives by living together!
Make marriage harder! Divorce us
whether we like it or not!
These were the general sentiments
of the speakers. ....

It has been closed less than one

was closed at the same time, but no
one has requested that it be reepened

the only difference between it and
Jones was that the latter was prob

Mayor Harrison smiled when he

that he would investigate the matter.

A PROBLEM Of THE CITY
What New York Is Doing to
Provide Comfortable Homes.
BY r.. :. Mcknight. Of the Mcknight Realt,

The strong drift OF population to cities
has created a problem for every city
how TO provide homes In which the people
can live in comfort and within their
means. The ideal city 10 meet this prob
lem is the round city. such as Philadc.-

large percentage Of the population own
their own homes, and home living IS q
pronounced feature Of city living
There cannot be round city unless
the transit of the city runs from CEN

York is not a round city. as far as the
distribution of its population is concerned.
A line from a point In Van COrtlandt
Park. on the city boundary, To Concy
Island. will divide the city in about two
equal parts-haif lies east of such line
and half west. The length Of this line IS
about twenty-three miles. Approximately
nine-tenths Of the population Of greater
