ly as civil union to be terminated at

without legal process. and to the
Christian religion which reinvested
marriage with the religious character
from which in the law of Rome it had
completely escaped. The fiuctuating
views of modern society and the vag-
aries of lawmakers have been respon-
sible for the widely divergent statutes
which prevail in the United States.
The result has been to make divorce
easy to procure in many courts and
the easier 1t has become to break the
marital tie the greater has become the
legal practice attached to such pro-
ceedings, until the connection of many
lawyers with the divorce courts are
little less than scandalous. If the pro-
posed laws do away with some of the
present red tape and make divorce
more difficult to obtain by all means
they should be adopted.

Lewistown should not hesitate for a

Kept within bounds. The doctor and
dentist may be uncertain quantities at
times yet these need not be excessive
burdens as general rule. An appor-
tlonment should be made for life in
surance and the savings bank, no mat
ter how small the latter may be. A
great many people set aside a definite
amount for each class of expenditures
and try at least to keep within the
appropriation.
Practically every competitor in the
contest confessed that they started
their financial success with a savings
bank account. 1t was small in many
cases, but grew steadily. The man
who starts out to save will astonish
even himself with results he never an
ticipated. 1t is the small steady saw
ings that count.
Some people divide the weekly wage
into parts, setting aside enough for
each class of expenditure, while others
make the apportionment and keep an
expense account as q guide to deter
mine how they keep within or exceed
their allotment.
To pay each bill out of its particular
compartment in the family cash box
is sometimes impossible, and the sim
pie and effective way is to merely keep
an expense record, and If the expendi-
lures exceed IL expectation, curtail-
Lastly, many who have acquired
property have done so through the
medium of a debt ncurred-helpful
debt, such as mortgage, building and
loan shares, instalment home buying,
etc. But look out in mourning such
obligations that they be within your
powers to fulfill, and the values con-
servative. Don't hitch up to more
than you can pull.
The marvel in such experiences is
not that these people saved a consid-
erable sum, but that they saved at all.
1t was all the result of planning, will
ing, sacrificing the little things to have
the greater ones, elimination of waste,
foresight, good judgment, setting a
course and steering by it, making reso-
lutions to keep and not to break, and
being firm with ones self, but not

WETzEUs OPPORTUNITY

= EDWARD WETZEL, If he is
given the full and unquestioned
- authority over the police force to
which. as chief of the department,
he is entitled, will have a rare oppor-
tunity for service in Harrisburg.
With no desire to reflect on anybody
and appreciating the difficulty of
properly patroling the district with
a force far too small for the purpose,
it must be said that the city is suffer-
ing seriously from defects in the po-
lice system. Firebugs have operated
with impunity and robberies have
been of almost nightly occurrence
since early spring.
Chief wetzel will have public sup
port and cooperation in the correc-
ton of these conditions if he sets
about that task promptly and ef-
ficiently. The new police head has an
excellent chance to make a name for
himself and those with the good repu-
tati IN and the safety of the city at
heart will hope that he will take full
advantage of the opportunity at hand

acted an embargo on American COM
merce atsthe instance of the first
Democratic President, Thomas Jeffer
son, in order to keep us out of war
with England. And as war inevitably
followed that act OF cowardice and
folly, so assuredly a new chapter of
industrial warfare has been opened by
President Wilson and his Congress.

SAVING, LIKE CHARITY, BEGINS
AT HOME, INVESTIGATOR FINDS
TINE New York Evening World has 4

TINE New York Evening World has
been offering a series of cash
prizes for the most sensible plan
of saving as applied to the manage
ment Of a household, where the in
come does not exceed $50 a month.
A large number of plans were sub
mitted by persons in all walks of life,
reading of which leads to the con-
clusion that there are a lot of level
headed people getting somewhere by
good management and definite plans
of living. A perusal of these answers
would seem to justify the following
conclusions:
First, that the only method of saw
ing that proves practical and perma-
nent is the adoption of a well-defned
plan. This means a scheme of living
that provides for the various expenses
incidental to rearing a family, such
as rent, food, fuel and light, clothing,
recreation, education, etc. No one
gets anywhere in particular by hit
and miss" method of life. This is the
reason so many people are living next
door to poverty all the time. Any
plan of life to be successful must in
clude the determination to save, and
If possible definite amount as a mini
mum. The determination without a
plan accomplishes but little.
Second, that the wife is the saving
element in the household AS a rule
the man earns the money and the wife
spends 1T. To her is entrusted the
buying of the supplies, the care of the
children, their clothes and spending
money. Even though the husband pays
the bills, his wife contracts them. She
has time to shop and he has not.
Third, that the most workable plan
is as follows: Apportion the income.
There are certain fixed charges in
every home, such as rent, clothing and
food. 1t is well settled that the rent
should not exceed one-quarter of the
income-"a weeks wage for months
rent" If it is larger it is out of pro-
portion and extravagant. You cannot
live in Fifth Avenue with a Third
Avenue income. The greatest extrava-
gances are possible in the line of food
and here the wife can do her best
work. The cost of clothing can be
fairly we'll estimated from experience.
Educational expenses can be figured
with safety, and recreation can be

NEW DIVORCE LAWS

EUCH interest attends the an
Vl nOuncement from Philadelphia
that several bills changing and
modifying the divorce laws of Penn
syIvania will be submitted to Governor
Brumbaugh for his approval previous
to their introduction during the next
session of the Legislature. The whole
subject of divorce in the United States
is so confused and the laws governing
legal separation and dissolution of the
marriage relations differ so widely
in the individual States that the adop-
ton of a uniform, standard statute by
all States would appear to be the one
accomplishment toward which those
at work upon the problem should bend
their efforts.
Modern practice and opinion are to
be traced mainly to the old Roman
law. which recognized marriage mere.

STATISTICS EXPLAINED

NOKE is the "vittels' of the steel
mills. If the steel mills are
making good time they con-
sumo lots of coke and that means en-
ployment for thousands of soft coal
miners and coke oven operatives in the
vicinity of the Pittsburgh coal seam,
which stretches for miles through
Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
Ohio.
The steel mills of this country dur
ing 1915 were glutted with orders from
Europe for war material. So it is not
surprising that the United States Geo
logical survey finds that the amount
of coke produced in this country dur
ing 1915 was 7,O25.2SG tons more than
the 1914 record, or an increase of 20
per cent. The report states that this
was within 100000 tons of the re-
cord output of 1913, and that was the
last year of a Republican protective
tariff law.
Everyone in Pennsylvania will re-
call the slump in steel production in
1914, before the war broke out, and
that reacted on the coke industry.
According to the Geological Survey
figures, therefore, the production OF
coke in 1919 was about 47,000,OOO
tons; in 1914, with Democratic tariff
law paralyzing industry, it fell to about
ss,O00,0 900 tons; and in 1915 war or
der prosperity put 1t up to 41,60O, ,0OO
tons.
Couple this with the recent report OF
the Geological Survey which stated
that the iron ore mined in the Unit
ed States in 1915 reached the great

hereabouts dreamed that in a few
short years this main transcontinental

ordinary sources of travel, for two

would be occupied, while scores of
tourists would be compelled to go to
other towns to seek sleeping accom-
modations. But this very thing hap
