What This Vast Work Contains

When it is said that the new Eleventh
Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica is
the most exhaustive summary of human
knowledge ever prepared, in single work,
It does not help much to say that it contains
forty-one thousand different articles.
To take a few Of its divisions. On Art
Architecture and Music there is total Of
1887 different articles; on Chemistry SAT;
on Languages and Writing 2S5; on Medicine
and Surgery 644.
The Britannica is a splendid atlas, and
the total of its articles on Geography reaches
m,34l. The number of articles on the
History of Nations is 1922; on the different
literatures of the world Abs.
Abstruse subjects like Philosophy and
Psychology roll up total of SAB articles; Re.
ligion and Theology 3049; Mathematics 253
Sports and Pastimes show total of 264
articles; Law and Political Science 1902;
Engineering 419; Economics and Social
Science 1872
Needless to say all the separate sciences
are covered as completely as if you had
separate text books for each; and in far
more compact and readable form. Biology,
cles; Geology, earth knowledge, total of
740; Physics 2S5; Anthropology and Eth.
nology, covering all our knowledge Of man
upon the earth, 45S articles.
1t is highly practical work. Industries
and Occupations are covered in 545 different
articles; Military and Naval subjects in 800;
Education in 172; Archaeology and Antiqui.
ties in 161.
Just the mere text of the new Eleventh
Edition, printed in ordinary type would
make three or four hundred volumes Of
average book size; and at dollar and a
half volume this would mean they would
cost at least four or five hundred dollars
that's, nearly ten times what the Britannica
may be had for in the new Handy Vol
ume" Issue.
But this does not nearly tell the story.
You could not go to the biggest bookstore
in the world and buy any thousand volumes,
on all these separate subjects and get any
where near as complete and serviceable q
working library as the % volumes of the
new Britannica. Many of its articles are of
considerable length, SO and 100 pages and
more, but the most of them are crisp, clear
summaries telling the average person pre-
cisely what he or she wishes to know on
any given subject.
The new Eleventh Edition is in fact miracle of
compression and compactness. as it is of complete
and authority. 1t is not merely the product Of
the greatest of living minds but every page Of il has
been boiled down to give the utmost service to the
busy men and women of today.

WHO JOINED THEM?

Unqualified opponents of divorce
are fond of quoting: "Whom God
hath joined let no man put asunder,'
as though that invested the marriage
rite with divine authority the
severing of which would partake of
the character Of sacrilege. The pitt
ful fact is that the invocation is
good in its meaning, but it is often
used without any sense Of its solemn
ity. The chief reason why the di-
vorcc courts are kept so busy is be
cause SO many people have been
God had nothing to do with the
union We have no rcproaches to
offer to those who are content with
% simple civil ceremony and consider
that Just as binding as any other,
which from moral standpoint it
is. but we are again moved to pity
when We consider that a church

y,ntion and the flavor of religion, is
often entered into by the contract.

about his blessing. 1t is wrong,
therefore to bring Gods name into

such "a ceremony or invoking his sa-

marriage contract.
The trouble with this divorce ques-
ton. as The World has observed be
fore. is the same error We often make
in dealing with other questions. We
get the cart before the horse. In
stead Of attacking divorce we should
attack the looscncss Of our marriage
customs. Instead of making it diff
cult to get a legal separation, we
should make it sufficiently difficult
To get married as to make people
stop and think twice before rushing
into such union It is not a qucs-

many people tumble into bed with a
body truly filthy and a skin very lit

becomes mixed with sweat and dust
during the day, and when this mix
