vIcE'PREsIDENT MARSHALL SAYS
IT WILL DO MUCH TO STOP
THE DIVORCE EVIL.

New York. March 5.-"Kiss your wife
at least once day."
Such Is Vice-President Thomas r.
Marshall's prescription for the di-
vorce evil" He said so himself in
an address at the Bedford Branch of
the Young Mems Christian Association
in Brooklyn.
The audience applauded him.
"The Puritan of today" said Mr..
Marshall, "is great deal different
form the original Puritan. The spirit
of the times is changing the whole
world, and progress sometimes means
straying from the narrow path.
"The old Puritan lived righteous
life. He even went so far as to alb
stain from kissing his wife on Sunday
And l may add, he abstained from
kissing his neighbor's wife on any
| day of the week.
"a wifely kiss is the foundation o.
the home, in fact, of the entire nation
| advise every man to kiss his wife a
least once a day The old Puritan al
ways followed this rule but, through
the stress of business the Puritan o
today is rather neglectful in that res
pect.
ut does not pay to get rid of tn
old-fashioned wife and put the littl
soubrette in her place. For if you d
the little soubrette will lead you tn
devils own dance"
Again the audience broke out i

OFFERS AMENDMENT OF HIS own

Washington, D. c., March 6.-United
States Senator J. X. Vardaman, of Mis-
sissippi, delivered speech on the floor
of the senate Thursday afternoon in
advocacy of the repeal of the fifteenth
amendment.
His address was based on the equal
suffrage amendment, now pending be-
fore the senate, to which he is oppos-
ed on the ground that it would result
in complications in the south, by max
ing negro women eligible to vote.
Senator Vardaman's advocacy of the
repeal of the fifteenth amendment was
along the same line as his campaign
addresses in Mississippi. Notice was
given in the Washington papers that
be intended to speak today and there
was a big crowd in the galleries.
Late in the day many senators were
missing from their seats and lack of
a quorum prevented a vote on an
amendment to the pending resolution
sumitted by Senator Vardaman.
"Our women" the Mississippi sena-
tor had declared, will not go to the
polls to vote in competition with a
race congenitally and unalterably un.
fit to perform the supreme function of
citizenship"
Mr.. Vardaman said he would support
the resolution if Congress repealed
the fifteenth amendment and modified
the fourteenth amendment, and to this
end he offers his amendment to the
resolution. AS amended the resolu
tion would provide for woman suf
frage in all the states, but in all Other
respects the right of citizens to vote
would be left to the states in which
they reside. ..

Danners 70 the Eve

Mr.. Louis Bell, the electrical illu-
minating expert, and DR.. F. H. Yer
hoeff, an eye specialist, have published
in Science their opinion that the al
legged dangers to the eye from ultra
violet radiation of sunlight and vari-
Gus artificial lights amount to nothing
at ALL They admit that there have
been many sensational attacks upon
modern illuminants as dangerous by
reason of injurious effects of ultra
violet or actinic rays, but these have
entirely neglected any cumulative
relation between the radiation and it's
supposed pathological effects" Very
little of these rays can penetrate the
cornea, and the crystalline lens cuts
off completely those that struggle
through toward the retina. Protective
glasses are useful only, they conclude,
in cutting off dazzling lights and I'M

TOOK SPEECH IN THE DARK
Stenographer Says It Was Not Diff
fcuit to Follow Remarks
of "UncIe joe"

Sometimes a man gets a reputation
that is undeserved," said Sam Gray, a
member of the stenographic corps of
the house of representatives, at the
Willard, according to the Washington
Post. 1t happened to me few years
ago when l was travelling with former
Speaker Cannon in a political cam
paign. Uncle joe made lot of
speeches in that particular campaign,
and was there to make a stenographic
report and transcript of them In
one western city the speaker was talk
ing to tremendous crowd of people,
when suddenly, without warning, the
electric lights went out, leaving the
house in total darkness.
For fifteen minutes, perhaps, the
speaker talked on in the darkness. 1t
was up to me, of course, to make a
report of his speech, and l did. Nat
urally, l had to feel my way, and
made my notes unusually large, so
/ would have no trouble in reading
them. When the lights were restored
l was right there with the speaker,
and made an accurate transcript of
his speech. Some of the newspaper
boys heard of the story and published
it as a marvellous feat
THE fact is, it was not at ali diff
cult to follow the former speaker. He
is not a rapid talker, and | had no
trouble in taking his remarks

This soldier added:
1T is quite true, too, that many
men have been found dead without

France and saw wounded everywhere.
Already beds are becoming scarce,
though fortunately there are so many
slightly wounded, that is. Clearly in

struggle to see every available school,

Kaiser Sells English Securities.
Before the outbreak of the war the
kaiser was holder of a considerable
block of English government stock
and also of some British industrial
shares and railroad stock. Over two
months ago the kaiser disposed of his
holdings, which was assigned in trust
for the German emperor to the Prin-
cess Henry of Battenberg. The prin-
cess, by the way, is one Of the wealth

he has been called upon to give to

king of Portugal and Queen Victoria,
his wife, have suffered most severely
IN pocket by the war, and the royal
residence at Twickenham has been
thrown into utter confusion.
The whole of the income of the
queen was derived from German
sources, and of course ceased but that
did not amount to very much, not
more than few hundreds year But
King Manuel, who had invested very
largely lately in Russian and French
securities, on the advice of his banker
in Paris, has for the moment been de-
prived of nearly the whole of a con-
siderable income, excepting the inter

industrial concerns, which have de-
clined about SO per cent in capital

cumstances, az a matter of fact, than
he was at the time of the revolution
in Portugal. He has no resources to
fall back on and no one to come to
his aid
Queen Alexandra Feels Pinch.
Queen Alexandra has also felt the
results of the war severely Her ma
jesty's extravaganza and carelessness
about her money affairs are matters
that have caused a good deal Of talk
in the royal encourage Of late.
During the last season Queen Alex
andra entertained in the most elabor-
ate and costly way at Marlborough
house, and as a result piled up very
considerable liabilities; to pay these
it became necessary that she should
overdraw her banking account for a
sum of s250,000; while arrangements
were being made for this overdraft
the war broke out, and her majestys
bankers would not entertain the idea
of the loan.
Her majesty for some short time
was placed in the most embarrassed
position, for she could not obtain even
any ready money, a fairly plentiful
supply of which is necessary to keep
the Adjustments at Marlborough
house and Sandringham going, and
there were certain liabilities to trades
people which, though there was no
actual legal obligation on the part OF
Quene Alexandra to pay at once, pay
ment could not be withheld without
giving rise to unpleasant gossip.
Prince Arthur OF Connaught has lost
