Form Of Divorce In Old Rome,


In the earlier period Of the Roman
republic divorces were quite unknown
and were rare right up to the time Of
the Sultan wars. In the old days the
husband and wife who wished to sepa-
rate appeared for the last time before
the common hearth. a priest and priest
ess being present As on the day Of
marriage: q cake Of wheaton tiour was
presented to- the husband and wife. but
instead Of sharing it between them
they rejected it. Then. instead Of pray
erS, they pronounced formulas Of q
strange, severe. spiteful character. by
which the wife renounce6 the worship
and gods Of the husband. From THAT
moment the religious bond was broken.
and. the community Of worship having
ceased to exist the marriage without
further ado was forever dissolved.

COMPETING WITH WALL ORDER

How to enable the local merchant Il

one Of the problems to receive special
consideration 1t the Merchants One
Week short course to be offered by the
General Extension division Of the Uni,
versity Of Minnesota, beginning Mon
day, January "a. HI
No problem is Of greater interest to
the retail merchant in outlying dis
Itricts than competition from mail-or
der houses. The subject at the com
ing short course will be discussed BY
II. L. Wildey Of Graettinger, Iowa
who aroused so much interest last
year, and by n. s. Mcintyre, editor Of
the Twin City Commercial Bulletin
Mr.. Mcintyre will illustrate his talk
with an exhibit Of merchandise bought
from mail-order houses, and will show
that similar articles may be bought
through the regular channels at prices
which should enable local merchants
to meet mail-order figures.
The desirable features Of former
courses will be retained, but particular
attention will be given to new devel
opments.
Advertising and craftsmanship as APP
piled to the problems of the retail mer
chant in smaller towns will have q
prominent place. More time will also
be given to lectures on textiles, gro
ceries, leather, rubber goods and haru
ware. Men especially qualified &c
speak on these subjects will be present
to call attention to points which mer
chants should consider both in buying
and selling.
Buying, pricing, the cost of doing
business, credits, collections, and ac'
counting also will receive full atten
lion.
The Retail Furniture Dealers asso
,iation, which will be in session while
The course is in progress, has made ar
engagements with the University to at
end several lectures. The evenings
will be taken up with illustrated lec'
:ures of a popular and profitable ma
