Red Cross Week

Little Rock, Oct. 1.-THE govern
or has by proclamation set aside the
week of November 2-11, the latter
being Armistice Day for the Third
Red Cross Roll Call. He says:
ut was the great war that brought
the vision of the world the generous
heart of the American people; and it
was the American Red Cross that
proved the efficient agency in trans
lating into deeds of. service to hui
manity the good will and the con-
tributions of our country. The peo-
pie of Arkansas and especially her
splendid women, made most graft
flying record in devoted service and
good deeds. The work of the Red
Cross still continues in behalf Of the
returned soldier and his problems,
and it also has great peace pro-
gram for the health and safety and
the general relief of the people. Let
all join in the devoted work and give
every citizen an invitation and an
opportunity to continue or become a
member of the American Red Cross"

and ascertaining that each boy fully

until you are old enough to have
better sense than to use tobacco at
all."

Innocent Party
to Divorce; May
Revived in Church

Detroit, Oct. 17.-Through actor,
of the laymen of the Protestant
Episcopal church in the 1916 gen
eral convention, sustained by both
clerical and lay delegates today, the
innocent party to a divorce may be
re-wedded in the church. Amend
ment of the canons to prevent re-
marriage by an Episcopal priest Of a
person who has a divorced husband
or wife living, was defeated, despite
desperate efforts by MANY of the
clergy and a few of the laity to Sc
cure it's adoption. Both orders
registered majority against the
amendment.
Demand Of several delegates who
favored the amendment that the
church uneualifiedly declare against
divorce and re-marriage, brought a
prolonged argument on the question.
DR.. c. M. Douglas of Short Hills.
N. Y, voiced what appeared to be
the general thought of the conven-
ton that the divorce evil can only
be corrected by educational effort
among the churches.

The reason'that France and America
are restless under the extreme liberty
given them by the designers is that
they need leader, or a group of
leaders. They do not realize this
truth. The world of critics has said
that If women were given their own
way in fashions. and if they did not
have to follow one law which is not
suitable for all, it would be halcyon
day. Freedom in dress, they said,
would make for the artistic result.
Well, what have the critics to say
about the present condition of things?
