This Years r Registration
Shows Gain of 1850 Over
Former Figures.

The record enrolment in the his
tory of the public schools of the Dis
'trict has been reached. Stenben
Kramer, assistant superintendent Of
schools, today announced a total en-
rollment of 6o.213. as against 55,s63
on the same date last year, showing
gain of 1850.
There has been an increase Of l 400
students in the white high schools
and 700 in the colored schools, over
the same figures for this date last
year.
The total high school enrolment
is S,593. and on this date last year
was 6,417.
The schools OF Washington are
ouilt to provide for only 10000 pu-
pills. but this number has been ex-
ceeded by pupils by more than 10, 900,
and crowded conditions are common
among many classes in the schools.
1t is predicted that by the middle

nave reached siXty-three or sixty

There are many other possible can
didates. some of whom are not openly
affiliated with either great party.
Pershing as Dark Horse.
Two of these are General Pershing
and Herbert Hoover. Should either
OF them run. he probably would do so
on his personal record rather than on
any political party record. Pershing
has avoided being identified with a
party, and there are few who know
toward which group Hoover inclines.
Pershing is being kept out of the
limeiight SO consistently that there
is belief his hackers intend to pro
duce him as an eleventh hour candi-
date, and send him on a tour of the
country-that they are holding back
this tour until 1T can be made when

VANITY Chief CAUSE
OF DIVORCE, HE SAYS
No Marriage Unless There
Are Babies, Prof. Durant
Also Declares.

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-"Happiness of
men and women is only a secondary
affair in marriage, the prime purpose
of which is to produce robust children,
Prof. William J. Durant. of Columbia
University, said in a lecture at the
Sinai Social Center here,
where there are no children
there is no marriage" he added.
Free love is impossible, the pro-
fessor said, because conquests of a
man are praised by other men. but II
a woman had had one free love affair
she is held in ridicule and belittled
by her associates"
Most men now, marry after they
have become INCAPABLE of love-" the
professor continued, land then comes
your divorce.
Courts say that divorces are due
to crueley, drunkenness and half a
dozen other things, but they are all
wrong. The three fundamental rea-
sons for divorce are: The natural
vanity Of both sexes. psychological
incompatibility. and lack Of children"

COURT ORDER
IN COAL WAR,
AMES AYERS

Formal presentation of Ia
boris request that the injunc-
ton against the United Mine
Workers be withdrawn is to
be made to Attorney General
Palmer or Assistant Attorney
General Ames today.
Samuel Gompers, with .
delegation, plans to call upon
the Department Of Justice TO
outline the position of the
American Federation of La
Dor in the new situation that
has developed.
1t is expected that he will
act also for the United Mine
Workers on the matter. He
will protest against the con-
tinuance of the injunction
against the strikers on the
ground that it defeats the
very purpose for which it was
issued-the ending of the
walkout.
He viii be In a position to
say that the United Mine
Workers will enter into any
negotiations with the opera
tors for the settlement of
their differences as soon as
the ban is lifted. The injunc-
ton ties the hands of the
leaders to such an extent that
they are unable to ascertain
the sentiment of the rank and
file regarding an adjustment
of the strike. 1t is impossi-
bic for them to call off the
strike while the injunction
remains in effect, they hold.
