THEATRES
 RUNNING FULL BLAST
Associated Press)

PARIS, April 1.-Two hundred and twenty-six places of entertainment theatre, cinemateographs, music halls Paris as against 190 on January 1, 1915. This number includes practical ly all the theatre of Paris and the Opera whose performances are, how ever, only intermittent matinees. No elaborate productions are contemplat- ed until circumstances radically change. Of the larger theatres, the Comedie F'rancais is the only one now playing every evening; the others give from four to five performances per week, while the smaller theatres of the different quarters give three to four performances.
 The moving picture shows are run hing far ahead of the theatres in pop ularity and total attendance. During the month of December last the num- Der of spectators in the theatre was 6O5,7 while during the same month 1,6O4,519 persons witnessed cinemat- eograph performances. As compared with the preceding year, the increase in the number of theatrical audiences was about 530,000 while the increase in attendance at moving picture shows was S00,000 The greater popularity of moving picture shows is attributed largely to the interesting war films that are shown each week. American police films have also had a remark
 Though few original plays have been produced since the war began, the prefect of police is nevertheless kept busy reading new productions and old ones with a view to eliminat. ing such passages as do not pass the censorship. He has read 1,500 plays and examined 5000 films since Aug. 31, 1915. He has also examined an average of 150 concert programs per week, representing total of about 1000 songs each week, all of them practically new. This partial revival of the theatre has gone far to relieve distress among dramatic and lyric artists, but the salaries are nothing what they were before the war.
 Most theatres pay very grudgingly, and some pay nothing at al l,filIing their casts with artists who are in no dire distress and who prefer to act for nothing rather than grow rusty.

FRIENDLY DIVORCES HELP Us TO
 NEGLECT DUTY TO HE UNBORN

obliteration of family life.
 do not porpose the abolishment of divorce. Neither do I criticize those who, for legitimate reasons, have had recourse to it; but I do say that di- vorce for trivial causes is cancer in the breast of civilization.
 Light divorce means light marriage, and light marriage means nothing that IS pleasant to talk about.
 Certainly it means the rotting of the moral fibre of the race.
 In this matter, the unborn are en- titled to a vote.
 At recent conference a noted mis- sionary declared that among the poor CT classes on the west coast of South America, from 40 to 90 per cent of he babies die before reaching two years of age. Poverty and poor food of course, are large causes.
 But back of these is the main cause. Half of these babies belong to unmar- ried mothers
 There is no binding family tie, no responsibility, no recognition of ob- -igation.
 We, of course, do not live in South America. Foolishly We depend upon our better education, our greater measure of prosperity, the seeming well-being of our existence to keep society on it's feet.
 But if our society rots, the benefits Jf civilization will fall away.
 We do not long possess what we do not deserve. We cannot have our -ake and eat it.
 The greatest obligation one assumes at the altar is to society and the un- born.
 If We could get that thought it would be worth much
Arizona sentinel Yuma southwest., 1916-04-06
(By Will H. Fischer)

In these days of free and easy divorce, it is not uncom- mon to read in the news papers high tributes of re- spect and esteem exchanged by separating Spouses.
 Often 2 1 have wondered why husbands and wives who profess so much admiration for each other should find it necessary to ask the divorce courts to assist them in get ting rid of such good things.
 Recently my attention was called to the case of a man and wife, both members of the same profession, who secured one of these friendly divorces. Since the divorce, as before, they have occupied the same offices and worked professionally in harmony and good fellowhsip, often appearing together in public.
 They have one child What the child thinks of the situation is not of record
 The longer I live in this interesting world the less am 1 inclined to con- demn what I cannot understand.
 But it seems to me matter of plain common sense that if we are to con- tinue to depend upon family life as the foundation of our social structure it is high time we were looking to the protection of it's integrity.
 If society does not set it's face against the growing tendency to treat with light scorn and contempt the ob- legations assumed at marriage, the in- evitable and early result will be the
