STATE NIVORCE LAW
SOUND SAYS MELORIN

SAVANNAH, Ca, Jan. S.-The Geor-
gia law covering divorces is all right
il the judges and juries do teir
duty, says Judge Peter W. Meldrim of
the superior court, who was seen yes
terday morning. For this reason
Chatham county will probably have
nc representation at a conference of
superior court judges which is to be
be held in Atlanta within the next
few weeks to consider the alarming
increase in divorces in the state in
recent years with the view of me-
morializing the general assembly OF
Georgia at the next session.
The purpose of the conference will
be, II possible, to prevail upon the
state legislature, which meets In June.
to amend the state divorce laws by
doing away with the undefended di-
vorce cases and requiring the defend
ants to come into court and testify.
Statistics show that there were 5000
divorces granted in Georgia in 1917.
During 1916 the total was $500, ac-
cording to an estimate, and every year
there is an increase of something like
500 cases in the courts of the state.
Judge Meldrim, however, states he
will take no part in the conference
in Atlanta since the increase in di-
vorce suits in the courts is through
no fault of the existing laws.

FOX'S THEATER.

Mae Murray and Kenneth Harlan,
in Her Body in Bond" and Herbert
Rawlinson, in Smashing Through"
with the Pathe News and Topics of
the Day, are the attractions at F'ox's
tonight with four high-grade vaude-
vile acts.
tHer Body in Bond with Mae
Murray and Kenneth Harlan, is very
interesting and full of little human
touches that will appeal strongly to
the emotions. 1t will surely cause a
sympathetic tear now and then to
trickle down your cheeks. Mae Muir
ray portrays Polly, a struggling little
vaudeville actress, talented, ingenious
and wholly wrapped UP in her hus-
band, portrayed by Kenneth Harlan.
Through her husbands sickness and
her subsequent poverty she becomes
indebted to Sleeth, an INSCRIPTIONS
, booking agent. How this little girl
risked her body and soul all for the
sake of her husband is graphically
told in this dramatic Universal pro-
duction, which is produced every bit
as beautifully as For Husbands
Only and Talk Of the Town. both
recently shown at Fox's.
Smashing Through" Is a typical
old-fashioned melodrama, with lots of
! hearts interest and plenty Of pep,
some sensational stunts such as riding
an automobile on the railroad tracks
and having a train overtake it and lift
it bodily on the cow-catcher, riding
on a motorcycle at breakneck speed,
with Herbert Rawlinson in his glory,
risking his neck all through it.

ment officials had taken no steps
to arraign the men today and it
was not stated when such steps
would be taken.
Postmaster James German, who has
been the representative of the depart
ment in Kenosha, declared that he
could give none of the facts in connec-
ton with the arrests until after the
men had been given a hearing.
It is said that the movement in Ke-
nosha is in keeping with nation
wide movement on the part of the
Department. of Justice to enforce the
"1Win the War" slogan.
A number of complaints have been
made to the federal officials from fac
tories in Kenosha that men had sought
to interfere with production of war
materials and for some time agents of
the government have been here MAX
ing investigations. These investiga-
tions have resulted in number of men
being picked up, but in every case the
men have declared that they were
'tnot guilty. of the charge alleged
against them. None of the men pick
ed up in past weeks were taken into
the United States courts.
The six men now in the county Jail
have protested strongly their loyalty
to the nation and some of them have
been residents of Kenosha for a long
time. They assert that they made
no seditious statements and that they
did not interfere with any men who
desired to work.
The charge against the men is a
very serious charge under present con-
ditions and the parties at interest are
hopeful that the matter can be settled
without court. hearings, but with the
understanding that there will be no
more interference with the necessary
war work of the government which is
being carried forward in Kenosha.
Kenosha has won the enviable rec
ord of meeting the demands of the
government and all the factories are
anxious to maintain this record. It
is declared that in recent weeks work
in several of the factories has been
delayed by small strikes and labor
troubles without the necessary appeal
to arbitration.
