SAYS MARRIAGE
FOR RICH ONLY
Matrimony in Latin-Ameri-
ca Declared a Luxury Only
the Rich Can Afford.

Panama, Feb. 1S.-Marriage is a lux
ury for the rich in many parts Of
Latin America, according TO the report
of the Commission on the Church in
the Field, presented today TO the Con-
gress on Religious Work in Latin
America, which is in session here.
Peru in particular and ITS sister re-
publics on the west coast OF south
America are mentioned as countries
where the rate of illegitimacy is appal-
ingIv high and the marriage tie but
little regarded by the masses OF the
"The marriage institution says the
report appears to be weaker on the
west coast of South America than In
any other CHRISTIAN land, in the MUS
suiman countries or in the societies Of
India, Japan and China
People Avoid Marriage.
The Peruvian statistician Fuentes is
quoted as saying in respect to Lima;
"A shocking proportion OF the people
avoid marriage and live in complete
libertinage. which Increases as one de-
sends in the social scale"
One missionary reported to the COM
mission that in Peru marriage is con-
sidered a luxury for the rich. Even
civil marriage is costly The poor
regard each as unobtainable"
Marriage Rare Among Poor.
An American long resident In Boil
via reports that marriage is very rare
among the lower classes OF the pOpu-
lation and that social standards are
non-existent He also says that in
Colombia and Ecuador the high cost
of church marriages. IS dollars being
the minimum fee, has added greatly
to the prevalence Of immortality. Most
of the poems earn but few cents day
and IS is a sum far beyond their reach.
The commission draws gloomy pic
ture of moral conditions in general in
Latin-America. There Is little pop
ular support" it says, 'in dealing with
normal issues and reforms. Everything
is excused on the plea Of temperament
precedent or custom The masses
know nothing of an inflexible and in
dependent moral standard"
In concluding its review the commits
sion urges the missionary churches to
greater efforts in the Latin American
field in view Of it's enormous extent
and the crying need OF sustained ef-
fort to reach the great masses Of the
people who are still but little removed
from barbarism.

THE EFFECTS OF A DREAM
BY Nachman Heller.

Rabbi Aaron is widely known and
extensively reputed as one of the
old school Talmudists, stirring
speakers and communal leaders. His
patriarchic appearance, flowing
beard and stately carriage, add fin
ishing touches to his learning, au-
thority and scholarship. A true son
of his people and noble pleader
of their cause, Rabbi Aaron proved
the artistic painter his pathos and
passion substituting the brush and
the chisel of the latters artifice and
craftiness.
When suferings and niseries of
the eWs in the war zone culminat-
ed to enormous dimensions, the aged
rabbi undertook journey through
out the Eastern States, addressing
audiences and collecting funds to aid
the Jewish victims of Europe and
Palestine. It goes without saying
that the rabbits efforts turned fruit
full, rich and poor, young and old,
men and women, focking to syna-
gogues to hear the rabbi and donate
for the sufferers.
Arriving into the town of Stein
berry one Friday afternoon, the rab-
bi reported to the leader of the To-
cal Jewish community, telling him
of his mission to raise funds for the
sufferers across the Atlantic and
asking for the permission of speak
ing at the local synagogue, the COM
ing Saturday and Sunday, SO as to
interest the people in the misfor-
tunes of their brethren and have
them follow the universal cause and
pursue the public effects. The
leader, Haydn Hotz, emphatically
refused the rabbits plea, never al
lowing him to preach at the syna-
gogue, maintaining as he did that
the local co-religionists can help
their unfortunate kinsmen without
any outside pressure and encroach-
ing friction, knowing very we'll the
address of Harry. Fischel and how
to forward him the collected funds
in the proper time. He applied vul-
gar epithets and employed profane
language in addressing the visitor,
advising the latter?to quit the town
before Sabbath sets in, there being
no chance for rabbis to reap harvests
and fatten on the sweat Of hard
workingmen's brows.
Reluctant and chagrined, the rab-I
bi left the rascalic leader, bound for
the Schochet Finding the latter,

the synagogue for the delivery OF
his addresses. Whereupon, the
Schochet consoled the rabbi and ad-
vised him to give his discourses just
the same, the leaders veto notwith-
standing. The leader, the Schochet
assured him, would leave the city on
the very afternoon to spend his va
cation in the mountains, and he
would certainly not postpone his
trip in order to display his author
ity by refusing the permission to
a rabbi to deliver his addresses, es-
pecially when the entire community
would, undoubtedly,- side with, the
rabbi and give him both their moral
and financial support. Moreover,
the Schochet continued, you would
speak on Sunday, when all stores
are closed, commerce suspended and
men of trades and traffic are too
glad to hear the word of God ex-
pounded by his emissaries, the rab-
bis and preachers.
Haydn Hotz left town that very
afternoon, in accordance with his
previous arrangements, and pre-
pared plans, ignoring or forgetting
his recent incident with the arriv-
ing rabbi. He procured a Pullman
sleeper, where he intended to pass
the night in rest and recreation, lul-
led to sleep by Morpheus and his
hosts of Cherubim and Scraphim.
The latter, however, never appeared
on the scene, demons, witches and
genii hocking to the surface as sub
shutting subterfuges, torturing the
poor Haydn and making ta,get of
him for their sport and amusement.
And he dreamt, Haydn Hotz did. He

WEATHER DELAYS
THE SUCCESS

Because of the display of storm
signals, and the fact that the cap
tain and owner was in Mobile and did
not order the start, the barkentine
Success did not leave Tuesday night
for Mobile as intended, and as had
been arranged. The tug Sea King,
however, with the old craft in tow,
left at z o'clock last night, and by
twilight it is expected the old ship
would be at the docks at Mobile, and
that hundreds of people of that city
would be afforded the privilege of in
speeding the old craft.
Capt. Smith stated that he was per-
fectly willing to trust the old craft
alone in the gulf, claiming that she
was staunch enough to weather
storms of the fiercest nature, and ap-
peared very anxious to have his ship
at Mobile on the day scheduled for
the opening.

RUSHING REPAIRS
ON HIGH SCHOOL,;
READY BY JAN. z

Work repairing the high school is
progressing rapidly and it is believed
that at the present rate that every
thing will be in readiness for school
to open on January 2, as planned
when the building was partially de-
stroyed by fire two weeks ago.
Much of the heavy work of re-
placing the beams and erecting the
partitions and exterior covering has
been completed, and but little else
remains to be done other than plaster
the walls. The wet weather which,
has prevailed for several days will
probably hinder drying, but it is
planned to artificially heat the build
ing to assist in drying.
All repair work will probably be
finished for occupation BY classes
Tuesday. By starting Tuesday moth
ing will have been lost in point OF
time, from the regular school term
and only the handicap which was
placed upon late opening at the be-
ginning of the term will have to be
made up.
