GLOOMY PICTURE IF SOUTH
 AMERICA

PANAMA, Feb. IS. - Marriage is luxury 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 Congress on Religious Work in Latin-America. which is in session here.
 Peru. in particular, and it's sister republics on the west coast of South America are mentioned as countries where the rate of illegitimacy is ap- pallngly high, and the marriage tie but little regarded by the masses of the people.
 "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 sulman countries or in the societies of India, Japan and China"
 The Peruvian statistician, Fuentes, is quoted as saying in respect to Lima; "A shocking proportion of the people avoid marriage and live in a complete libertinage, which increases as one descends 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."
 The commission draws gloomy picture of moral conditions in general in Latin-America There is little popular support" it says, "iu dealing with normal issues and reforms. Everything is excused on the plea of temperament, precedent or custom. The masses know nothing of an inflex- ible and independent moral standard"

P OLO EXPERTS IN PACIFIC
 COAST

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. IS. - Word received from J. Eugene Geer, the eastern polo expert at Hampstead, N. Y, is to the effect that some of the polo colony who now are at Aiken, S.

Perry Beadleston, an international Malcolm Stevenson, also of international calibre. and rated as an eight goal man. Thomas LeBou- teller, another eastern star, who is here, will be somewhat handicapped in his play, it is believed. by reason of a leg broken in play at Meadow Brook last fall, although the prelim- mary games in which he has taken part at Coronado have given but slight evidence of this.
