It believes, with out the lest equivocation, in the righteousness of the cause for which the nation is fighting in this frightful war, and that the ideals which have been proclaimed by our President are fundamental to the safety and integ- rity of our country.
 'The convention declares it's clear and steadfast conviction that it's faith in the religion of Jesus Christ and it's advocacy of force to the utmost in this war are harmonized in accordance with the definite will of the God of our fathers and our God; that to defend our Nation as it is assailed by bar barrie and heartless enemy, and to fight for the protection and preser- vation of our democratic ideals, is a just and holy cause concerning which we believe this country must tolerate but. one mind and heart.

KENTUCKY MEN ALL MUST WORK BETWEEN 16 & so

Frankfort, Ky, June 22-No able bodied male resident of Kentucky be- tween the ages of 16 and 50 may loaf, until six months after peace is de- clared. He must, according to bill passed at a recent session of the leg isIature, work for at least 56 hours a week. Otherwise he shall be held a vagrant and fined not less than $2O nor more than $100 for each offense.
 Apparently the idler may not pay his fine, escape exertion and relapse into idleness. As a part of his pun ishment he must work not exceeding 60 days upon public roads or streets, or some other public work.
 Possession of riches will be no bar to prosecution and no claims of in- ability to obtain employment for either rich or poor may be pleaded as defense. Lapses into idleness will not be tolerated because each week of idleness constitutes a separate of- fense.
 A vagrant is defined as an habitual loiterer, one habitually intoxicated, addicted to the use of narcotic drugs, a professional gambler, or an able bodied persons supported in whole or in part by the labor of any woman or child"
 Any peace officer who fails to en- force the act is subject to prosecution for non-performance of duty and re- moval from office.

ENGLISH WOMEN
 BUY BIG SHOES

London, June 24-Women of Eng land are to have the privilege of pur- chasing shoes with leather tops more than seven inches in height for the first time in more than year. But the Army Council has relented for only two months from June 1 and did so only then at the earnest appeal deputation of shop-keepers catering to those demanding the smartest things. After July 31 no more high shoes may be purchased for an indefinite period.
 The high style has not gripped England as it has America in recent months. The owners of the usual shoe stores have been little exercised by the order limiting tops to seven inches and did not display much in- terest when the ban was lifted They stated that the average English wom- an, particularly at this time, wants a "sensible" shoe and trade in those 8 foot or so high will be confined to ul- tra fashionable, lightweight produc- tions.

The action is being heard by Judge Donald Warner and the wife charges intolerable cruelty. He also said that the door of his home was open to his wife even now if she would only go back and do what was right. There was a ring of sincerity about his statements that was most convincing.
 He. admitted having shaken her a few times but said the reason for that was that she repeatedly lied to him and broke her word over and over again.
 On one occasion she went away early in the morning from her home on Stratford avenue and did not re- turn at all. He waited until almost midnight and then being worried lest some accident had befallen, started out to try and locate her. She had gone to her mothers and so he start ed out for her parents home on Whitney avenue.
 He obtained a jitney to the corner of Main and Mairield avenue and then had to walk to Capitol avenue, He took a cross cut through a lot which shortened his route several blocks when he suddenly came upon his wife walking arm and arm with soldier in the uniform of the United States army. Back of her were walk. ing her parents and her two sisters He remonstrated with her and she told him it was her duty to see this soldier to the railroad station.
 He then decided that if they were all going to the station he ought to stay with his child and protect it. He started in the house when his wife, father pitched on him and struck him several blows. Respecting old age he did not strike him back but turning to his wife he advised her to go home. She refused and he then went to find an officer When he located one he returned to the Finklestone home only to be told that her father and the soldier had gone to the rail- road station. The officer asked the wife to go home but she told him she wouldn't and that she couldn't be compelled to do so.

Religious differences seemed to play some part in the marital differences. Hippolitus is of the Catholic faith and his wife of the Hebrew. They made a verbal agreement that their son should not be placed in any po- sition to decide which religion he preferred until he was old enough to judge for himself. One day when MT. Hippolitus came home he found out that his wife had deliberately broken the agreement and then he made her agree to have the child bap- tized in the Catholic faith.
 He testified that Mrs. Hippoltus spent more time at her home with her mother than she did in the home he provided for her and this was not according to his ideas of wifely duty. She would not get home in time tO get his meals, and he had to wash clothes for the baby and get his own meals if he had any. On several occasions he admitted that he did shake her he was so enraged to think that she would lie to him, but never enough to hurt
 Mrs. Hippolitus testified that he was 1ntOIeTaDly cruel 10 ner, that ne had struck her and shaken her, and she brought forward several wit nesses to corroborate her statement, among them her small brother Rob ert F1nkelstone. Mrs. Helen Po- chezk, who lived in the same house with the HippoIitus family. testified to seeing the husband doing the housework and caring for the baby and washing it's clothes. She also testified that the man was always kind to his wife, and she was in a position to know as she had been in their apartment many times.
