Brooklyn no Reno,
Manhattan Is Told

New York; am not going to sit
around here like wooden stick and
grant divorces to New Workers"
Thus did Justice Aspinall, in the
Supreme Court in Brooklyn. protest
against the practice of residents of
Manhattan taking their matrimonial
troubles for an airing in other coun-
ties.
I'VE have enough divorce cases of
our own in Brooklyn" the justice
added. There are plenty of New
York Judges to handle litigation in
that county. Do you think it is cas-
ier to get divorces over here?"
Justice Aspinall addressed his ques-
tion to counsel in the case of Mrs.
Nioletta V. d. NJ. Barre against AL
bert q. Barre both of Manhattan.
and which the court marked off the
calendar in support of his protest
against the prevailing practice.
There are various reasons why at
torneys for parties to divorce pro-
ceedings who live in New York coun-
ty prefer to file their actions in 9TH
cr counties. One is the fear of pub
licity. Another is the usually con-
gested condition of the calendar in
Manhattan. for frequently a man or
woman suing for divorce wants a
decree quickly.

Thomas Cats Disturbed as
They Meet in War Garden

Here's a tip to war gardeners.
Have the cats been coming in and
digging up your onions. lettuce and
other embryo vegetable meals? Here
is way to solve the problem:
Thomas Cat, of the Harrisburg
Cats GrDraus Club, had been having
all the cats of the neighborhood of
2l7 Pine street congregating in j. H.
Oyler's little war garden every night
for choir rehearsal. Between num-
hers they dug up Mr.. Oylers plants
and scattered them around the yard
something scandalous. Scarecrows
are all right to keep the birds away
thought Mr.. Oyler. but the cats
would only come up and rub against
their wooden legs and wait to be
petted. So Mr. Oyler secured an
enormous bulldog and stationed it
in corner of the yard. The dog
hasn't moved from his corner yet,
and has never caused any bother to
anything but the cats. The reason
Is that it's a plaster of paris dog,
and far more forocious looking than
any honest-to-gCodness dog would
dare 10 bc and sulI live. 1t used to
advertise bunion cure or hair grower
or something like that in a drug
store window. but row it makes a
desert of Mr.. Cyicr's garden, so far
as the cats can see. That's why Mr..
cyler has one Of the most prosper
Gus and orderly hooking little war
gardens in the tCwn.
The only drawback is that it will
he hard task to persuade visitors
to go into the yard and look at the
flourishing war garden when they're
greeted by such an animal.
