CHINA TRIES HARD TO GET
RID OF ARMY, BUT CAN'T

PICKING. China. Nov. 1O.-china's
toughest problem now is how to dis
band the army raised during the rev
olu,ioa. The government, hard
pressed for money. will have to raise
at least SSO.OOO.O0O to pay off the
500 900 men under arms: and I'M
paid soldiers are always menace in
China.
Collies regard military service as
a very desirable occupation. Once
enlisted it is difficult to persuade
them 10 retire. They riot and be-
come extremely troublesome II an
attempt be made to disband them
without liberal payment. The com
handing officers are frequently as
mercenary as the soldiers. When
the government fails to give its sol
diers what they regard as adequate
pay. the troops frequently become
bandits and loot.
Each province has its own mill
tary governor and a distinct military
organization. presumably under con-
troll of the Picking authorities. but
actually independent in most cases.
Consequently the Picking govern
ment is forced to deal very diplo-
matically with the military organl-
cations in the province. particularly
in the remote provinces.

Frequently in the United States there
appears an advertisement by husband
warning tradesmen against giving
credit to his wife. says the Washington
Post. Sometimes this is preliminary
to a divorce and sometimes not. The
husband may be merely cantankcrous
or the wife may be merely eX.=avaSant
There are no rules or regulations gov
erning such matters except in some
states. where it is provided that hus-
band may disavow responsibility for
the wife's debts by giving fair notice
to the public.
Brazil, in its new civil code. adopted
recently. has taken coSnizance or n
similar tendency among husbands IN
South America. The new code. which
definitely guarantees the property
rights of authors, artists and scientists
and establishes increased rights for
landowners. gives equal importance 10
the definition OF the relations between
husband and wife. A married man, is
prohibited from giving in bond or
otherwise alternating without the eX-
pressed consent OF his wife property
which they hold in common or which
IS necessary for the subsistence Of the
family. This is similar to the usual
state laws in this country. Brazil. how
ever. has gone further and adopted
more modern plan for safeguarding the
interests OF the wife Under the new
civil code a man may no longer stop
his wife's credit at shops where she
purchases articles necessary in the
actual conduct OF her household. nor
may he prohibit either her or the
vendor from dealing upon credit bas-
IS IN articles which are necessities OF
family life.

FEDERAL OFFICIALS TO HELP
FIGHT ON LIVING COST
Washington, Nov. 2o.-The de-
partments of agriculture, commerce,
postoffice and many members of con-
gress are leagUed today in an effort
to check the high cost of living. Their
efforts are the direct result of ap-
peals from the public whose tiIIs are
tapped by some of the highest costs
on record.
General boycOtts, food dictator
ship, a food embargo, government
price contrOl-all these and more are
recommended in an Overwhelming
mass of messages to President Viii
son, cabinet members and congress-
men.
While these appeals will not affect

make at least dent hereafter.
The agriculture department is
working on plans lot an lnCT6dSeu

The commerce branch reported
"some progress" today in pondering
food cost and distribution problems.
The postoffice department has ad-
vanced proposal to make necessi-,
ties more reachabIe and less costly
through the parcel post.
Meantime congress threatens to
agitate everything from food en-
barge to government price-fxing.
There is a vast sentiment for a gov

ably be over an embargo.

JUDGE RAYMOND .
GROWING STRONGER
Believed Now He Will Re-
turn TO Bench Next
Week.

Judge W. S. Raymond Of the circuit
court, is expected to be able to return
to the bench early next week. Judge
Raymond is now nearly recovered
from the effects of the operation for
the removal OF carbunclc which he
underwent some time ago. Although
he is still weak from the effects of his
long confinement within doors it is
thought that by the first OF the week
he will be able to attend court.
The first business on the criminal
docket will likely be the hearing OF the
arguments on the motion TO set aside
the verdict which was returned by the
Jury in the trial of L. G. Race. Should
the motion of Attorney Harry Shaw
to set aside the verdict overruied.
then the time will be fixed by the court
at which MIR. Race will be sentenced.
A suspension OF the sentence will like.
IS then be obtained until the result of
the appeal is decided should one be
made.
Following the disposal Of this case
no more OF the criminal docket will
likely be taken up until the June term
of the court. The remainder OF the
present term will be used in the hear
ing of chancery and law cases that do
not require jury.
