Lecturer Tells
Of Interesting
Inventions

A most remarkable invention
for saving lives has just been
adopted by the U. S. government,
which IL in use at the time the
Francis ii. Leggett went down,
would no doubt have saved a
score or more lives.
The invention is a non-sinkable
lifeboat. which not only will not
sink, but IL capsized will at once
right itself and start the engine.
The device has been under test
at Washington for some months
past and though over a hundred
trials have been made II has not
failed to act in every instance I'M
der all kinds of weather and other
adverse conditions.
This life-saving device is shown

Today Annie looked beautiful

I am glad my two old friends

fifteen years she has also been

a lovely and heartbroken girl in
her arms and pressed me against
her breast when my dear mother

Annie has been quite as great

BIZ JUDGE THos. II. GRAHAM,
Noted Divorce Court Jurist.

Every city should have a ''iovs
expert to act as first aid TO the
emotfonally injured.
My idea is 10 have an official
domestic confessional, where the
unhappy might come with their
burdens, their real and fancied
grievance, for disinterested coun-

in cutting down divorces by fully
so per cent. l firmly believe.
A domestic confessional is to
my mind the most important i'm
mediate check for the divorce
evil during the period in which
society is trying to correct the
fundamental causes of increasing
separation.
A large proportion of conjugsl
wrecks could be averted II a capa-
BILE pilot were at hand to steer
them away from the rocks in
time.
The love expert would substi-
tute level-headed advice in place
of the often hysterical and lop-
sided sympathy and maudlin pity
of relatives and friends for the
principals In a threatened divorce.
IL is often the character of this
eleventh-hour advice which de-
cides between recovered happi-
ness or misery.
First of ali, the divorce laws
should be stiffened so as to per-
NIT separations on only the more
serious grounds; especially is
this true of the statutes relating
to deseFti0n.
Collision between the parties
to secure separations by techni-
cal desertion is becoming alarm
ingly common.
Then all suits should be heard
in a court of domestic relations,
a special divorce tribunal, in the
larger cities. before a Judge who
would inspire confidence among
litigants-a sort of second line of
defense. behind the love expert
to preserve the citadel of mar
riage.
Not a day passes that a dozen
women, bearing their pitiable tales
of real or fancied wrongs, do not
file into my chambers to ask adj
vice and offices toward possible
reconciliation.

the hopelessly estranged might
