DIVORCE IN DECLINE
Les Angeles Plan Lowers Rec
ordS in Court so Per Cent.
Homes Are Not 5roken Up and City
Enforces Payments Of Alimony,
and Soon Husbands and
Wives Make UP.

Los Angeles, Cal-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 a home, now end in reconciliation
under the system Of "divorceless" ali
mony, is the statement of Hugh c.
Gibson, chief probation officer; and
that a much larger percentage could
be saved from divorce if a larger staff
and more means were obtainable is
the opinion he advances as a result
of trying this system for two years.
The "divorceless' alimony consists
in the payment of alimony without di-
vorce proceedings, and has been in
effect since January /, 1911, when it
became a law that failure to provide
is a 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, if there are children, on the
ground of felony-and hubby" must
pay up, the alternative being the rock
pile.
And if he goes on the rock pile at
$3.50 a day-more than the average
man makes, according to Gibson-the
court collects the entire amount and
pays it to his wife and children.
Il believe fully half our cases are
saved from divorce now" said Mr..
Gibson. In a year we must average
500 cases where there is failure to
nFnyidp. up oosily SaUo OE0 npt Of
that number from divorce. Unless
the trouble is very real and hard
a mans heart is apt to soften toward
his wife and babies within a few
months, and in five per cent of the
cases, within sixty or ninety days he
makes overtures of peace and effects
a reconciliation. OF course we on
tinue to keep supervision over the
families-particularly If there are
children. And sometimes the peace
business doesn't go, and they are back
on u hands; but usually it sticks.
and instead of a divorce a ruined home
and children without a father, there is
a happy home with everything as it
should be.
In the last year we have. handled
approximately S15, 5000 in this divorce
less alimony money. We cannot take
more than sixty per cent. of a mans
earnings, and we have no set ratio.
The amount is fixed in accordance not
only with what he makes but with his
wife's condition, the number of chill
dren, and other matters affecting their
needs.
Gould we handle other specific di-
Vorce charges, such as drunkenness,
or 'afinities,' and save fifty per cent. ?
l don't know about the fifty per cent,
because we haven't experimental, but
we certainly could prevent many cases
of divorce-many cases."

into a deficit of $170, 600, 900. Both
views-and every sort of intermediate
view-are held violently and convul-
sively by men of equal sincerity, intel
ligence and conservatism.
The only other undertaking financed
by a city which comes within shouting
distance of the subway plan for sheer,
brazen immensely is the Catskill wa
terworks system, which New York
city is building in a modest, depre-
eating sort of way, so that one hard
ly hears of it. When this is complet-
ed, which will be in three years or so,
its chain of reservoirs will be fed by
GAG miles of water shed. The Is by
II foot tunnel, which will deliver $780,
100000 gallons of water a day to New
York city, will be 92 miles long. I'm

1t will be LOO feet deep. For miles
it will range between 700 and 500 feet
below the city's doorsteps. 1t will
cost 5000, 900, 900 or Whereabouts, and
will supply the needs of the city for the
next generation, just as it is hoped
that the new subway can be stretched
to fit the straphangers' demands for
half a century. The two enterprises,
forced by conditions upon the city,
will cost $500. 900, 900.
1t should be noted that New York's
net funded debt is 1874, 949, 404-as-
sessed against 5000, 900 people-on
which the annual interest is $35,473,-
6S5. The total debt of the nation is
$1,027, 575 200, on which interest
amounting only to $22,7 1877, 900 is paid,
and which is shared by Sc, 1000 peo-
pie.
Superlatives seem to be justified.
The present subway was built to
carry 400, 900 people daily. 1t is carry

CARRY COSTLY VANITY CASES
Elegance of These Dainty Appoint
ments Are Limited Only by the
Depth of Ones Purse.

For the woman who adores dainti-
ness in small belongings there are
cases which will consume whatever
pin money she has to spare. In the
loveliest enamels, surfacing gold or
silver, she may have-at a price that
is just a bit staggering-a vanity box
containing an enamel-framed mirror,
a powder puff, a rouge receptacle and
one manicure implement. Encased in
the same enameled metals she may
have a purse fitted with compartments
for change coins of various denomi-
nations. And she may also have a
square fiat receptacle for visiting
cards and memorandum tablet. Of the
same size and shape, but slightly on
vexed, is an enameled cigarette hold
err, and this, most luxurious looking
Of all the cases, clasps with a jewel
which not infrequently is of purest
water.
Moire-1nished gun is the very latest
metal devoted to vanity boxes, change
purses, card cases and cigarette hold
ers. But although their appearance is
one of subdued elegance and ultra re-
inement, they have not the somber
look Of plain gun, for the watery sur
face is in itself ornamental and all of
the trimmings, so-called-meaning the
edges, the hinges and the clasps. are
of polished silver. Moire-finished gun
is the smart finish for bracelet watch
es and for sunshade handles, and it
makes a stunning frame for the pho
