JUDGE CRITCHFIELD
ON DIVORCE LAWS

Judge L. R. Critchfeld Of Wayne
county does not approve the bill re-
Gently introduced in the state senate
by Senator Horn, which seeks to force
every applicant for a marriage license
to pass q physical examination.
II am afraid that by tinkering with
the present law unless the originator
of the bill has covered every angie,
there is grave danger Of bungling the
statutes SO that the real intent will be
omitted. However, believe that there
can be great improvements made es-
pecially in granting marriage licenses.
Applicants should be required to give
at least a ten days notice, either
through the local papers or public
announcement in church. / believe
that in every uncontested divorce case
that the court should be furnished
with all the facts in the case SO that
he could pass intelligently on all
cases. As It is now, we only can hear
the one side"

Skirts For Spring to be Narrower

Bordered materials, too, will have q
place among the fashionable fabrics
whether printed or embroidered and
whether Of cotton or silk.
Plain voile combined with linen in
a matching color has been used in the
fashioning Of some Of, the advance
spring dresses, and, though unusual,
the combination is entirely pleasing. A
very pretty model was made with q
long Russian blouse Of voile edged
with deep band of linen and having
the neck and sleeves finished with mar
rover bands of linen. The skirt was
made entirely of linen with the blouse
worn over it. These costumes in pale
blue, sand and white were given con-
trasting touch by embroidery on the
neck and front Of the waist.
Collarless necks in square, round
and oval outlets are being offered by
the creators Of styles; but these are
not universally becoming, and FORUM
ately those who cannot wear them can
take refuge in the high or the soft,
rolled collar, one or the other of which
may be depended upon to suit every
face. Some of the very newest collars
are high, with large turned-over por-
tion doubled back and extending be-
low the base Of the collar in a rounded
outline.
One Of the styles in low collars
which still retains popular favor is
seen in the sketch. The collar is Of
Irish crochet on a dress Of fine voile,
which is simply made with a gathered
waist and a tucked skirt. For the
light fabrics of spring and summer
the tucked models are always good.

Whatever the forcasters Of spring
STYLES may disagree about, on one
point they are more or less agreed,
and that is that skirts will be narrow
er at the hem. There will be no flare
whatever, and even if some skirts are
not actually narrower they will at
least appear so from the absence of
the fare. tNIsay skirts. l7Tcvar, are
appreciably narrower. They measure
from two to two and quarter yards
at the lower edge. When we compare
these measurements with the three
and four yard skirts that were worn
last spring, it leaves no doubt as to
the change. From the Partisan open
ings, which are now being held, we
hear that the narrow skirt is no longer
runor but fact.

SPRING SHOOTING PROHIBITED

Harry Fortney, Auct.
Verne Rice, Clerk.
The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1917-03-09

Separate skirts and blouses take OF
quite good deal of Importance this
spring. The fact that separate skirts
are in demand for sports wear will
bring them very much into prominence
There are more skirts of sports silks
and satins than Of any other slzirting
materials. The sports silks in one
color effects, or in two shades with
large spots or stripes on neutral
background, seem to be the most popu-
lar.
AS for the blouses, we may witness
revival of the garden smock, which
took so strong a hold summer or SO
ago. One of these recently seen was
quite different from the smock as4we
knew 1t last summer. It was Of tango
red crepe, long and loose, and slipped
on over the head. 1t was shirred at
the neck and at the shoulders along an
oval line, which was emphasized by
piping of yellow crepe trimmed with
wool embroidery. The smock hung
unbelted over the skirt to the knees,
after the manner of most garden
smocks. The red and yellow combina-
tion in this smock showed the inlu-
ence of the Indian colorings, one of
the new notes in sports clothes.
Indian embroideries on sports coats
Of heavy cream-colored silk make very
attractive trimmings, and, they are
also effective on coats of dark blue
serge. These embroideries are worked
in silks or heavy mercerized cottons
in very bright colorings with num-
Der of colors mixed together. AS this
is to be spring and summer Of high
colors, these embroideries will, in all
probability, take very well. Parasols
and bags to match the costumes show
ing such embroideries are also to be
had to complete the finishing touches.
Some very dainty Georgette blouses
show the Indian colorings embroider-
ed on pale blue, orchid, white or flesh
with deep bands on the sleeves and |
across the front, showing one of the |
forms of trimming in which this en-
broidery appears.

British Front in France and Bel

achieved one Of the greatest victories
of the war in a tremendous assault
/, begun at dawn against the German

Of this battle has been told it may
take its place as an unequaled
triumph Of three years Of conflict, for
each successive report from the
seething caldron along the front adds
to the importance of the success re-
corded.
TAKE IMPORTANT RIDGE.
From a point near the Ypres-Staden
railroad, on the north, to the Ypres-
Menin highway on the sc nth, the men
of the British empire have surged
forward with an irresistible force
which at some places carried them
to a depth of $500 yards over still

northern wing of the advance the

of the Gravenstafel ridge, which juts
out to the vest from the Passchen-
daelc- Gheluvelt. South of the Ypres-
Rouiers railway the troops are re-
ported to be overlooking the eastern
slopes Of the main ridge, and in
some places to have pushed on into
the vale. below.
Not only hive the British wrenched
away many vital strongholds. but~they
have inflicted almost unprecedented
casualties OIL tie enemy.
As the attacking troops went out
in quest of great adventure over the
mist-shrouded slopes their vast pro-
tective artillery barrage caught in its
rnerci1ess swirl large numbers of the
enemy, who by coincidence also had
been massing for an early morning at
tack along wide front extending
from the neighborhood of Zonne-
beke to the Polygon wood. Some five
divisions of German troops were in
volved, three of these having been
rushed UP, in reserve to support their
comrades in the front lines when the
German attacks should begin.
Barrage Hurricane Of Death.
A solid wall Of breaking shells
plowed through them in hurricane
