Easy Divorce il Old rims...

The code Of King Khammurabi
of Assyria, whose date is approx
mately 2200 B. c., which has been
deciphered from a pillar discovered
Ut Susa, deals exhaustiveiy with the
subject of divorce. One of the most
interesting clauses is the following:
of the wife of a man who, dweils in
the house Of that man has set her
face to 60 forth and has acted the
fool and wasted his house and inn
.poverished his house, they shall call
her to account. If the husband
shall say. 7 put her away he shall
put her away. She shall 60 her
way. For her divorce he shall give
her nothing"

Persia has its hammam. and bathing
Is almost a religious function. When

Duplicate Of the Roosevelt African
Shotuun.

A duplicate of the shotgun which
Col. Theodore Roosevelt took with him
on his African trip. a gun constructed
expressly for him by an American
armorer, is on display at h manufac-
turer's exhibit in the Manufacturers
Palace at the Panama-Pacific Interna-
tional Exposition, San Francisco. The
gun cost its illustrious owner $3.50,
and its beautiful design, graceful
lines and wonderful inlay work would
justify the expenditure to any lover
of fine pieces. The stock is elabo-
rately hand carved. the barrels and
lock are hand engraved, and the lock
is inlaid with a hunting scene In gold.
The barrels are Of the finest krupp
steel. Before starting on the trip the
ex-president wrote to the makers: Il
gun I have ever seen, l am almost
ashamed to take it to Africa and sub
ject it to the rough treatment 1t will
receive"
The left barrel is choked and the
right open. 1t is cored to shoot either
buckshot or a single ball.
In a group in this Palace are dis
plays by four Of the worlds greatest
manufacturers OF sporting arms, which
form an exhibit which attracts hun
dreds Of sportsmen. Each display is
in charge of q firearms expert.
Pearl Culture . New Industry.
Among the interesting exhibits OF
the Japanese in the Manufacturer
Palace at the Panama-Paciic lnterna-
tional Exposition is a demonstration
Of the methods and results Of pearl
cultivation in the far East. The dis
plays OF this cultivated product, show
ing hundreds of pearls which until
pearl culture was placed on a com
mercial basis a few years ago would
have been the possessions Of royalty,
will delight any lover Of beautiful
gems, and the methods Of production
will prove interesting to any oh
server. Though pearl culture has be
come a thriving industry in Japan, at
tempts to reproduce it in other part
Of the world have yielded but meagel
results.
The successful method OF propaga
ton vas evolved by the Japanese sci
enlist Kokichi Mikimoto, who discov
cred a species Of oyster which pro
duced the pearl on the surface Of thu
shell. Though the finding of the oys
ters and inserting the nuclei, thel
waiting for the pearl to grow to
commercial size may seem a simpi'
process, the fact that it has not re
duced the price OF the gems, even t.
that of the most expensive limitations
shows that it Is beset with many diff
culties.

CAN CARE FOR
THE CORN CROP
An OcaIa Firm is Making Arrange
ments that are of Particular In
tercst to Agriculturists

Announcement was made today
from the Offices of the Louis r. Chazal
& Sons Company that the firm is
making preparations for taking care
Of Marion county's corn crop, thus
providing the farmers with a means
Of disposing of their production.
The company, it is said. has arrang-
ed for a large warehouse, on a rail-
road siding, and viii place. in it the
latest machinery for handling corn,
corn products and farm products gen
orally. The company is already adj
vertising for corn.
Louis r. Chazal & Sons Company,
one of the city's new concerns, was
chartered last November, and has al
ready under way the development of
a farm northeast of Ocala, and a real
estate business. Wyomina Park, the
attractive suburb east of the city, is
one of the company's developments.
The new business announced today is
one Of number of enterprises pro-
posed by the company and provided
for in its charter.
The new business, it is said, will be
started at once, and, as the ware
house arranged for has a storage ca
pacity Of 10000 bushels, or more, of
corn, the Chazal company will be able
to take care of a large portion of the
county's corn crop. The firm proposes
10 buy only the best corn from the
farmers. and Will market it as fast as
possible, so that the amount of corn
handled viii not necessarily be limit
ed to the capacity of the storehouse
Of the concern
There has been some question as to
what Marion county farmers would
do with their corn crop, which this
year viii be unusually large. The
opening Of the new business will
therefore, be welcomed. 1t ought not
to be necessary TO go out of the state
for corn when home product of good
quality can be had.

SCRAP
Of PAPER
TORN UP WHEN A GERMAN SUB
MARINE SUNK THE
LEELANAW

Washington, July 27-United
States officials hold that by the Ger
man submarines destruction of the
American ship Leelanaw, Germany
has once more disregarded the Prus-
American treaty of 1928, and
also two American notes recently on
this subject.
The treaty provided that Prussia
and the United States would not harm
each others ships even though they
were carrying contraband. Germany
has already destroyed three American
ships which the United States holds
were immune under the treaty. They
were the Gulhight, Nebraskan and
William p. Frye.
= In the latter case Germany took
the position she had not disregarded
the treaty but had exercised the right
given by inference from the language
of the pact. The fact that the Lee
lanaw's crew was saved created a
feeling of relief, but among officials
here there were many evidences of
apprehension that if Germany con-
tinued to promise payment, but de-
stroyed more American ships, a fur
ther warning would be required

OUTLOOK IS
ENCOURAGING
FOR THE COMMENCEMENT OF
WORK ON THE CARNEGIE
LIBRARY BUILDING

While the Star is not at liberty TO
go into any details, it will say that it
has good reason to believe that work
will soon begin on the Carnegie IL
brary building and be carried to a
successful completion.
The impression has gotten out that
building the Carnegia library, plan
ming for which has been going on for
some time, had become a hopeless
task, but the people who have its
completion at heart have never given
up hope or ceased working. 1t is
probable that all obstacles will be re-
moved in the near future and work
begin in time, perhaps, to give the
library to the city as a Christmas
present.
1t is worthy of notice that Gaines
vile secured a library in three
months, the people probably not
working any more strenuously than
Ocala people, but all working to-
gether.
Since the library books have been
put in storage for lack of a room,
they have been greatly missed by the
public, particularly the school chill
dren, who will all be very glad when
the new building is completed, and
they can have access to the books
again.

A LADY EXPLORER
Mrs. Dele Crews of Wisconsin Tour
ing the Country on a Motorcycle

Ocala had an unsual visitor yester-
day and today in Mrs. Della Crewe, of
Racine, Wis, who is touring the coun-
try on a motorcycle.
Mrs. Crewe, who is a magazine writ
er of some note, arrived in the city
or her machine yesterday afternoon.
She uses a big Harley-Davidson mo-
tcreycle, with a side car, in which she
carries her wardrobe and supplies.
The front and sides of the car were
covered with inscriptions, showing
that she had toured not only more
than half the states, but Cuba, Porto
Rico, Jamaica and the canal zone.
Mrs. Crewe is Rebekah, and when
she reached Ocala reported herself
to the leading Odd Fellows, who at
once saw that she had all the facili-
ties and accommodations needed She
had her machine overhauled and tank
filled, and left this afternoon for At
lanta, on her way to New York. and
thence back home. She says when
the war ends she intends to visit
Europe.
When Mrs. Crewe reached the city,
dressed for travel in blouse, short
skirt and leggings, and covered with
dust, she looked like a very compe-
tent but somewhat untidy person
But when she DOTTED her travelling rig
and put on her accustomed habih-
ments. she was a neat and pleasant
looking lady, and her conversation
proved her amply possessed Of refine
ment and education.
Mrs. Crewe went down the east
coast to Miami, then by steamer to
the West Indies. Returning she land
ed at Tampa and came on her machine
to Ocala. She reports the road down
the east coast as not very good, and
the one up from Tampa as not much
better. She will be one Of the first
tourists TO report to the north the con-
dition of the Florida end of the Dixie
Highway.
While in the city Mrs. Crewe met
number of our prominent people She
praised the good looks of our town
and said she was sorry she could not
remain longer.

In Spite of Terrific Hammering Gallant Rus
slams Hold Their Own
IF ASRO GERMANS TAKE Warsaw THEY A ENTIRE WESTERN SIDE OF THE
CARS EMPIRE

London, July 27.-The magnitude
of the German enveloping movement
IL the eastern fields is absorbing
British attention. The latest reports
show that General Won Buelow's thir-
ty thousand cavalry, turned south
Ward from Riga, are within eighty
miles Of the Petrograd and Warsaw
railroad. Then the northern Poland
army is closing in on the main north
ern railway artery of the Russian
capital The southern armies are sim
ilarly approaching the southern artery
to Odessa.
The London Daily Times declares
there is no parallel in this movement
and believes it endangers the whole
system of railway defenses of which
Warsaw is the center. 1t is apparent
the Germans arc planning to envelope
the whole Russian force here. The
Times points out that the fall Of
Warsaw would mean the Russian
power to resume a successful often
sivc would be indefinitely postponed.
Today's Petrograd official report de-
clares the Germans were thrown back
one point on Narew. This is some
relief to London, as military observers
hold that the final results depend
largely on Russia prolonging resis-
tance until winter.
Reports from other fields, except
the Italian front, where the Italians
claim to have taken 10000 prisoners,
show comparative inactivity.
