Discover Blaze.

The fire was discovered shortly before
10 O'Clock this morning by negro chill
dren who We're playing just outside.
Smoke oozing from the crevices of the

volume, indicating that the fire had
been smoldering within for consider
able length of time. and that it had
gained great Roadway.
The firemen found a hard task before

New Ideas In Sleeves.

1t is in the sleeves that radical
changes may be expected this spring.
Ever since the kimono sleeve began
to lose caste the designers have At
tempted to INTRODUCES all sorts of new
ideas into sleeves. But there is the
satisfaction that 1t has brought into
prominence sleeves of so many types
that it is possible for every woman
to select becoming ones. The low
shoulder seam. so well received the
earlier part of this winter, retains the
popular feature of the kimono sleeve
The enlarged armhole Is likewise an
easy transition for the devotees of the
kimono. On the newest gowns the
armhole has shrunk to Its normal
proportions, and the novelty lies IL
the arrangement of the fulness of the
sleeve. Fight as women may against
fulness in the sleeves, fashion seems
to favor it, and 1t is sure to come ii
the signs in the fashion world are
read correctly.

DIVORCE IN DECLINE
Los Angeles Plan Lowers Rec
oTds in Court so Per Gent.
Homes Are Not Broken 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
Df home, now end in reconciliation
nnder the system of "divorceless" all
mony, is the statement of Hugh c..
Gibson, chief probation officer; and
that a much larger percentage could
be saved from divorce if g 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 d.
vorce proceedings, and has been in
effect since January 1, 1911. when it
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, if 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
SL50 a day-more than the average
man makes, according to Gibson-the
court collects the entire amount and
pays 1t to his wife and children.
Il believe fully half our cases are
saved from divorce now" said Mr.
Gibson. I'm a year we must average
500 cases where there is failure to
provide; we easily save ESQ 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 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 con-
tinue to keep supervision over the
families-particularly il there are
children And sometimes the peace
business doesn't go, and they are back
on our hands; but usually 1t sticks.
and instead OF divorce ruined home
and children without father, there is
happy home with everything as it
should be.
In the last year we have handled
approximately $4,000 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
w1fe'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
don't know about the fifty per cent,
because we haven't experimental, but
we certainly could prevent many cases
of divorce-many cases.

While extreme simplicity is followed
in regard to the hair, this very essen

the very plain dresses that take "a

Setting Off the Low Forehead.
Everything seems to incline to the
low forehead, and for woman who
has not such. this is easily secured by
bringing the hair over the forehead
and fastening it there with an invisible
pin. When the hair is caught back in
the chignon, the front looks quite nat
ural. Everything is possible in fash
ions of hair dressing, and perhaps in
few years the high foreheaded beau
ty may arrive. Such a fancy was
followed century ago, originated by
leader at court who was afflicted
with forehead that extended several
inches above her nose. In order to
f1atter and please the dame, all the
court beauties had their hair shaved
over the forehead, and history says
that people began to like the result
so well that for a decade or SO the
high forehead was the thing.
No one can oppose the artist who
declares that a low forehead is a
mark of beauty, but such thing has
its limitations, and a forehead must
be broad and the hair grow certain
