BLAMES FEMINIST MOVEMENT
FOR DIVORCE RATE

Leaders in the feminist movement
are charged with a large share of re-
sponsibility for making Americas di-
vorce rate the second targets in the
world" said Rev. Edwin Heyl Delk of
Philadelphia, in an article on obi
vorce and Social Welfare" in the cur
rent number Of the Bibhcan World,
and sees menace in the movement.
'The movement" he declared,
has taken on in some quarters a
rank license and riot of expression
in both literature and life, which
threatens the moral and legal statues
of the whole nation"
Among the other causes of divorce
enumerated are erotic novels, indie
cent bodicus, the passion of admir-
alton, jewels, physical comfort and
emotional thrills, cocktails, cigarets
and hasty marriages. DR.. Delk urges
uniform marriage and divorce laws
as the greatest reform need.
In discussing feminism, DR.. Delk
says that all motherhood is sacred
within or without the marriage bond.

MILWRUKEES WEDDING FAMINE
AN EXPENSIVE DEAL
Milwaukee, Jan. 1o.-The wedding
famine" caused by the eugenics law
is costing Milwaukee in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 a day, according
to estimates.
The average rate of rent paid by
newly-wedded couples is SIS a month
and landlords are losing $3.50 a day.
The coal men are losing $400 day.
Furnishing for each fiat expenditure
of at least $500, and the nest feath-
erers are losing $500 daily. The
grocery man is losing about $3.50 a
day and $3.50 in ministers fees are
going by the board every day. Cloth
ing merchants are losing 1925 daily
by not selling glad rags" $3.50 a
day is an easy estimate of the loss
of the brides scenery"
Add to this items for photographs,
flowers, wedding trip, carriages, mu-
sicians an decorations, and the
daily loss is well above $4,000.

This investigation is prompted by
The fact that there is at present very
little knowledge as to the most effec-
tive and economical methods by which
a county can develop its roads. At
present the methods of financing local
road improvements vary from calling
on farmers for certain number Of
days labor in lieu Of road tax, or
the use Of county prisoners in road
construction, to bond issues or main.
tenance of roads from dramshop H.
cense funds.
The department will study all Of
these systems with the view to deter
mining what system or combination
of systems works best in practice.
There is, moreover, at present no
standard system of keeping accounts
for road building and maintenance,
and as a result, while some counties
know to penny the purpose for
which money was spent, others have
no definite check or reporting system.

UNITED STATES TO STUDY
The ROAD CONDITIONS

Detailed studies Of local road build
ing systems in 100 counties are now
being carried on by the United States
department Of agriculture in co-opera-
tion with the state highway depart.
ment and local road authorities.
The purpose OF this study is to dis
cover the points of excellence and
defects in existing local methods of
building and maintaining roads which
will aid the state authorities to put
local road management on system
atized basis. The cooperating state
authorities have been asked to desig-
nate counties that present typical and
exceptional features as to topography,
character of road materials, methods
of construction and maintenance, ad-
ministrative organization, methods of
road financing, and traffic conditions
From these lists 100 counties will be
selected, and in these counties the d.
vision of road economics will make
intensive studies.

To AVOID The HEAT
in THE KITCHEN

A desirable thing about summer
cooking is to prepare everything pos
sible in the cool of the morning. Plan
dishes that can be cooked and put in
the ice-box after breakfast, so that din
ner getting will be matter of few
minutes heat, at most. Have cold
desserts, plenty of salads, and if you
possess a garden or porch, have as
many meals there as you can, says a
writer for the Pictorial Review. The
fireless cooker has become so essen
TALLY summer accessory that scarce
ing the house cool is necessary. Ices
and mousses may be made in the fire.
less cooker if you have not freezer.
1t does very well for any sort of frog
en- dessert, pudding or beverage that
simply requires packing without
churning. Use mold with a tight
fitting cover, well-greased, and fill the
well of the cooker with the usual mix
ture of ice and salt, surrounding your
mold. The perfect insulation of the
cooker walls enables you to get good
results with cold dishes, raspberry ice,
strawberry or peach mousse, cafe
frappe are not these tempting
thoughts?
AS we must have some hot food, a
few small casseroles will help greatly
in setting away dishes that are to be
reheated. Creamed peas, cauliflower
au gratin, mashed potatoes to be
Drowned, shepherds pie, clans or
crabs-these all indicate host of
summer dishes successfully treated en-
casserole.
The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1914-06-30

A steam cooker will prepare, early
in the morning, most of the necessary
vegetables and meats that are to be
warmed up in ramekins for an entire
reheated dinner, or it will get them all
ready at one cooking, and over one
burner, shortly before the dinner hour.
The small amount of fuel consumed
and the excellence of food that has
been thus moist-cooked, are splendid
features of this type of cooker. In con-
trast to the gas plate, it is vertical in
principle, the different articles being
set one above the other They are in
separate compartments SO that the cab
bage cannot possibly flavor the chick
en-. The newest steam cooker has a
whistle attachment, which gives a
warning about 20 minutes before the
water in the under pan is exhausted.
E,y thinking the menu over, and elm
mating many hot and unsatisfactory
dishes during the warmest weather,
the range might be used at most only
one or two days in the week A small
oil or gas burner supplemented in one
of several ways will do all that is real
ly necessary.
One of these ways is a "gas saver, $
which is large metal plate Of square,
round or triangular shape, fitting over
the gas jet or oil fame. The triangu-
lar shape has the merit of accommo-
dating three saucepaps at once. When
one burner is made to do duty for
three kinds of cooking there is not on
ly distinct difference in the tempera-
ture of the kitchen but an obvious de-
crease in the fuel bill. A gas saver
of course is economical the year round.

TRIMMING
For Dresses Show A Greater
Decoration

Because of the new ideas which are
brought out in the advance fashions
for fall there is strong probability
of popularity for fancy dress trim
mings. The many drapings, puffs and
furbelows which have been in style for
a couple of seasons have prevented
the use of many trimmings, but the
long tunics, which are promised for fall
give ample opportunity for trimmings
to relieve the plainness. There has
been so much decoration in the drap-
ing of the material that there has been
nonecessity for other ornamentation,
but designers see an opportunity for
bringing into vogue large variety OF
trimmings. The plain tailored suits
which it seems probable will be
adopted in the fall with the long tunic
and severe outline will be adapted to
various styles of bands, braids and
soutache trimmings.
Fur bands, which sprung into favor
last year so suddenly, seem only the
forerunner of those which will be
worn next winter. the difference being
that the new fur trimmings promised
ere to be wider bands than their pre-
decessors. Loops and frogs in pas
sementerie with additions of fur
bands and jets give an idea of the

MAN INVENTS A BOMB
FOR DEEP-SEA SOUNDING

DR.. Homer A. Huntington, of Ames-
bury, Mass, has invented a deep-sea
souding device which he calls a sound
ing bomb.
1T will descend to the bottom of the
deepest oceans, then explode and tell
the observer the exact depth of the
sea at that point" said DR.. Huntington
yesterday.
AS it requires several hours to OBJ
tain deep-sea soudings by the usual
method, especially in rough weather
with strong currents, he believes that
much time and expense will be saved
by the use of his invention and far
greater accuracy obtained than by the
present methods.
The apparatus consists of long
steel rod, polished and pointed, carry
ing charge of dynamite, with an
electrical battery which explodes it
the instant the bottom of the ocean
is reached.
CAS- water is good conductor of
sound, the expert with his stop watch,
hearing the explosion and knowing
the time elapsed, can tell the oceans
depth" said DR.. Huntington. "The
apparatus, of course, is blown to
pieces, but the loss is much less than
the cost of the coal consumed while
taking soundings in the ordinary way"

Among various counties with the
same conditions cost for excavation
or other labor Is anything but uni.
form, and many counties, because Of
the absence Of definite knowledge,
fail to use local and cheap materials,
and construct loads which are un.
necessarily expensive for their pur-
pose, or which will wear out before
the bond issues are redeemed. The
investigation will include careful
study Of the use Of convict labor in
road construction.
In connection with the scientific
study the departments highway en-
gineers will advise freely with local
officials as to Improvements, and thus
give each county visited the advan.
tage Of direct cooperation, engineer

These investigations, it is believed,
will yield important economic data
bearing especially on the benefits and
burdens of road Improvements and
showing the extent to which financial
outlay under given typical conditions
is justifable.

it's scientific operation are thus given
in a description prepared by DR.. Hunt
ington:
This appartus consists Of a steel
cylinder containing a charge of dyna-
mite and an electric battery for ex-
ploding the charge. AT one end the
cylinder is heavily weighted, the
weight being sharply pointed to
facilitate its passage downward
through the water. Within this weight
is smaller cylinder containing pis-
ton and spring. An opening in the
free end of this weight conducts
water to the piston which actuates a
spring and cause contact pin to
take its place in an electrical circuit.
Through the larger main cylinder
passes rod actuating spring, not by
compressing it, but acting against it
when the bomb is sinking. This action
is produced by fan at the free end
of the rod, the faces of the fan being
at slight angle to the mob's line Of
motion when sinking.
when the bomb ceases to sink the
fan ceases to act, and the spring, now
unopposed, establishes it's part of the
electric circuit. Explosion follows, the
depth being estimated from the time
occupied from the sinking Of the bomb
to the perception of the sound of its
explosion"
