DIVORCE CURE.-Just because
I believe in divorce, free and easy to
obtain, is not saying that l would
urge couples to run off and seek di-
vorce on the slightest provocatons.
Life is earnest, real and many
times a tragedy at best. A little quar-
rel, argument or piqued disposition
should not necessarily lead to sepa-
ration. Many times a man or woman
is mad, but can't tell what about. A
little counsel with wiser and older
heads might lead to a lifelong under
standing and permanent love.
l think our divorce judges aim to
be fair to all concerned. Judge Sticks
plans of a little friendly talk I think
grand. There is a test or two would
like the judge to try first on the man,
then another for the woman.
Suppose we take wiley, who wants
a divorce from hubby, to a banquet,
so that she may see and hear other
men in action. Suppose we sit her
down to a table full Of such fellows
as Sirfessor WiIkesbarre, Lochman,
Jack Carney, Geo. " Wells, Sweet
land, Jesus Christ of South Halsted
ST., myself and similar deluded nuts.
Let her listen to the toasts and after
dinner talks of these fellows and
then decide for herself whether her
John is any worse.
Suppose the sirfessor would start
off: 'You are all cheap organisms
and I am the real sUperman. You are
all masses Of matter that don't mat
ter, pestfferoUs piflers with warts on
your imaginations, and if you had
the brains of a jeIyfsh or of a soft
boiled egg YOU would all wake up and
be conscious egOs.
Suppose after she listened to this

"outburst of agony she next heard
our old friend LOchman, who might
say: PAY no attention to this half
baked nut who is kidding himself in
to believing he is a superite, when,
in fact, the only place he exercises
super qualities is in 'One-aTm'
ThompsOn's restaurant with poor,
helpless cheese sandwich and a cup
of coffee. Now remember, friends,
the only time you are lucky is when
you are dead"
Suppose next she heard Sweetland
tell how man lost the right to vote
years ago because his mule died, the
vote based on property and the mule
being all the property the man had.
Suppose Sweetland ended it all by
exclaiming: "Oh, forgot! spoke
from these same notes a week ago"
I believe after the woman wanting
divorce heard all us fellows sheWOuld
stretch out her arms to heaven and
exclaim: MY poor, dear hubby with
all his faults is worth whole barn

The progress that had been made

plague is adding it's hundreds of
thousands of victims to the numbers
of the slain Millions of innocent,
helpless old men, women and little
children have suffered and multtudes
OF them have died in massacres or
from famine and disease. To all this
physical suffering must be added the
mental anxiety and distress of hun
dreds of millions OF peoples whose
nations are engaged in this fearful

To help bring this awful condition

WOULD COMPEL
LAWSON TO TELL
NAMES IN LEAK"
Henry Resolution Designed to-
Have Financier Before
House for Contempt.

Washington, Jan. 11-Plans were
made by the House committee on
rules yesterday to take Thomas w.
Lawson, the Boston fnancter, before
the bar of the House of Representa-,
tives for contempt An effort may be
made 10 compel Mr.. Lawson to re-
veal the names of 1.-The Congressman,
the cabinet member and another
one," without authorizing an investi-
CATION by a special committee Of the
alleged leak from Washington to
Wall Street on the Presidents peace
note to the belligerent nations.
Two definite steps were taken yes
terday by the rules committee.
1. A resolution provides for sub
committee of three to prepare neces-
sary papers to report Mr.. Lawson to
the House for contempt.
: 2. A motion to have the Speaker
Of the House appoint special COM
mittee for leak investigation was
postponed.
The resolution adopted was pre-
scented by Chairman Henry, who stat
ed that it was to become operative. in
case the committee should decide to
tempt before it, as a result Of Mr..
Lawson's repeated refusal to answer
questions put to him while he was on
the stand.
The Chairman of the Rules COM
mittee has made up his mind to have
Mr.. Lawson clean up the situation
brought about by his declaration that
he knows a Congressman who could
give the names of a banker, a Cabi-
net member and another person who
could testify as to the leak He said
he did not intend to have people
guessing at the alleged Congressman
and Cabinet member. That matter
must be Strengthened out. he said.
Question Lawson's Story.
Members of the rules committee do
not believe that the testimony prom
ised by Mr.. Lawson will pan out, but
they know that what he has said casts
a reflection on every member of Con-
gress and every member Of the Presi-
dents cabinet
The rules committee reached no
decision as to what will be done about
the Weed resolution providing for an
investigation of the leak by special
committee. That question is held in
allegiance until Messrs. Henry, Garrett
and Campbell have prepared the case
against Mr.. Lawson.
Two courses are under considera-

ton by the rules committee: First
the contempt proceedings, which
would wind up in the supreme court,
as Mr.. Lawson served notice that his
attorney had told him that he did not
have to answer any question he saw
fit to ignore.
Second, to have the House author
ize an investigation and then ask
Mr.. Lawson to carry out his promise
to give the names to the committee
and the facts about the money sup
posed to have been made by the Cab
met officer, the banker and others,
because of advance information on
the peace note.
Representative Campbell, the rank
ing Representative on the Rules Com
mittee, this afternoon offered to the
Rules Committee a substitute for the
Wood resolution. Mr.. CampbelI
would have the Speaker Of the House
name a committee Of fire Represen-
tatives, who shall be authorized to
make a thorough investigation of the
leak charges. The appointment of
such a committee would meet the de-
mands made by Mr.. Lawson. Action
on the resolution was temporarily
postponed until tomorrow morning
when the committee again meets.

AMERICAN MILLS
WILL NOT LOWER
PRICE ON SHELLS
Contract for Projectiles APP
pears Certain to Go to
English Firm.

Washington, jan 11-American
steel manufacturers, at a conference
with Secretary Of the Navy Daniels
yesterday, refused to lower their prices
on IA and 16 inch armor- piercing
shells to compete with the English
firm Of Hadfields, Ltd, and as a re-
suit 1t appears certain that Hadields
will make most, if not all, the shells
required for the new big guns Of the
United States navy
Hadfields bid on the first shell con-
tract. made publ few days ago,
was more than 600 per shell less
than that Of the lowest American bid,
and the time required for delivery
was put at several months less
Proposals Unsatisfactory
Representatives of the Bethlehem,
Midvale and Crucible Steel Compan-
les conferred with the Secretary of
the Navy, the subject of prices of big
guns, as well as shells, being taken
up No official statement as to the
course or results of the conference
was given out, but 1t is understood
no agreement was reached. the pro-
posals of the steel companies not be-
ing considered satisfactory.
The steel men are said to have de-
clared they could not submit prices to
compete with Hadfie1ds, and the sligh.
reductions in their previous figures
which they offered are understood to
have been rejected by Secretary DAN
iels.
The question of the price of the 30
16-inch guns needed for the battle
ships Maryland, West Virginia, Cali
fornia and Colorado also was taken
up. Report has it that the Midvale
and Bethlehem companies offered
somewhat more considerable reduc-
tons in their quotations for the con-
struction Of these weapons than they
had offered on the shells.
Some high. officials of, the Navy De-
partment, present at the conference,
however, are said to have considered
the reduction offered considerably less
that the department had a right to
expect None the less. the proposals
were taken under consideration.
There will be further negotiations
with the companies regarding the
price of armor plate and steel for con-
STIR = ton work. as today'n conference
took up only the question oe guns and
projectiles.
