BRITISH WATCH
U.S.. ACCOUNTANT IS

LONDON, Sept. 17.-At first some
surprise was expressed among British
Insurance and shipping companies
tranSacting business in the United
States, when it was learned that
United States Treasury officials were
coming to this country to investigate
tncf books in connection with taxa
ton, SAYS a Times article However,
an yLnfaVGrable feeling that may have
bocn aroused at first has been over
come by the personality Of the Off
eiais who were commissioned for the
purpose and by an appreciation Of the
attitude Of the United States Treasury
officials toward taxation assessments.
British business men have learned
that the work Of chartered accountants
has hardly the same standing in the
United States as it has in this country.
Here the certificate Of first-class
firm Of chartered accountants attached
to q balances hcct means that the fig
ucr@ Ct profits arc accepted as stated,
without question, It Gems that there
rs not always the same unquestioned
l1cceDtancc Of figures 50 certified in
Che United States and that the United

large field staff Of inspectors whose
business it is to examine the books Of
companies.

II AL|ANS SEEK
A DIVORCE LAW

ROME, Sept. IA law to permit
divorce in Italy proposed by the So
cialist deputy, Marangoni, has aroused
both protest and approved in the Cler-
lcal and Socialist camps. The bill has
now been examined by a parliament
tary commission whoch has amended
it.
Under the proposed law divorce
would be permitted in consequence of
separation for three years in the case
Of those who have children, two years
in the case Of those who have none.
Dissolution of marriage could also
be asked by husband who, having
been absent on military service, or for
the execution of civil or philanthropic
duties on the occasion of some ma
tional calamity, could prove that. dur
ing his absence his wife committed
adultery.
Reasons for separation of married
persons legalized by the proposed law
include: mental infirmity, declared to
be incurable rendering married life
dangerous or intolerable; desertion on
the part Of husband or wife; infliction
of a penal sentence carrying the inter-
hiNbIOIi VI NIf II iiSHlS, anu IictDiLllCl
crime or Immortality injurious to the
honor OF the family.
The proposed law also regulates the
legitimation of children born out of
matrimony; settles the question of ali
mony, the restitution of the dot and
the arrangements regarding property
held in common bv man and wife; pro-
vidos for the education and main
tainance of children and for the in
stitution called Family councip to
which Italians fairly now often have
recourse for all matrimonial troubles.
However. the idea of the institution
Of divorce is so strange to many Ital-
ians, and is so strongly opposed by
the Roman Catholic church, that many
are of the opinion that it has but
slight chance of becoming a law, al
though it is supported with some fer
vor by the socialists.

the Greeks would not be able to take

Germans and blame them for all their
troubles. Bat practically all the

FIFTY FIVE AUTO.
DRIVERS RISK own
ANDOIHER'S LIVES
Some Surprising Results of
a Check-Up AT Two
Crossings

Fifty-five reckless automobilists by
actual count crossed the grade cross
ings of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road on Sunday at Monongah and
Shinnston, totally ignoring the stop,
look and listen" caution boards. That
reckless autoists are numerous in the
county may be CLEANED from the fact
that at one Oh the crossings a man
crossed the tracks when the alarm
bell was ringing and the engine blow
ing its whistle and the train only a
short distance away from his auto
mobile.
Fully 25 per cent of the people that
rode in the autos were children Or
women Nolks. The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad company is pursuing
this course as a safety,measure to the
autoists themselves, who appear TO
use no discretion at alb when ap-
preaching railroad crossings, disre-
garding points where the view is OBJ
structed as well as others. AS a re-
suit of this taking account" the
owners OF the automobiles that reck-
lessly crossed the railroad tracks
without regard to caution boards will
receive postal cards notifying them
to that effect. On the one side is n
photo of wrecked automobile which
had been struck by train at a grade
crossing, being a photograph of an
actual happening. The railroad hopes
to make autoists more careful at rail-
road crossings as result of the cam
paign.
