Fire broke out in one of the up
stairs rooms Of the Marsh building
last Saturday evening and for a time
things were pretty lively in that part
of town. The firemen were on the
job within few minutes after the
alarm was given and soon had the
flames under control. The damage is
estimated at about $500, partially
covered by insurance.

Governor Signs Auto
mobile Measures

Last week Governor John G.
Townsend signed two bills passed
by the special session of the Legis-
lature which are especially gratify-
ing to automobile owners. One re-
lates to the changing or removing
of numbers or Identification marks
on automobiles; the other relates to
lights on cars parked on street Or
roadways.
The headlight bill prohibits use
of any headlights on automobiles or
motor vehicles with a glare extend
ing higher than 4S inches from the
ground. This measure is designed
to protect pedestrians and others
from being blinded by the glare of
headlights along the roads. The
measure also provides that but two
lights, one white and the other red,
shall be displayed on all parked
cars, whereas at present the law
calls for two white and one red
light.

Rubber Establishes Contact
of East With West

The fascination which the
strange lands of the Far East have
held for the average American is
taking on a more tangible form,
now that travel and business are
bringing Asia and the United
States into closer contact.
No article Of commerce is doing
more to bring this country into
close touch with the mystic East
than rubber. The rapid rise to
supremacy in the production of
crude rubber Of the islands Of the
Indian Ocean, combined with the
fact that America consumes nearly
three-quarters of all the rubber
grown there, has given many
Americans an opportunity to peep
behind the scenes and become ac-
quainted with the lands and peoples
of that distant quarter of the globe.
Although the whole equatorial
belt in that section is dotted with
rubber plantations, representing a
capital investment of nearly half
a billion dollars, the thoughts of
Americans naturally center on
Sumartra where one of America S
greatest corporations has estab-
lished a plantation so vast in area
and so highly developed that it
stands out as the greatest single
plantation in the world. This is
the plantation Of the United States
Rubber Company, comprising sew
enty square miles of growing trees,
an enterprise marked throughout
by magnitude and an efficiency
worthy Of the best American tradi,
tions.
By producing its own rubber the
company is IN a position to estab
lish a uniformity in its manufac
tured product, especially United
States tires, such as rubber manu-
facturers have long craved.

Keeping the Bright
Side Uppermost

In a certain household where the
need for economy was stringent,
the time had arrived for the annual
turning of the sitting-room carpet,
wit hthe attendant perplexities Of
matching breadths and fitting cor
ners. The small daughter Of the
house listened sympathetlcally to
the anxious discussions Of these try
ing problems. and presently found
a chance to give a word of encour-
agement. "Anyway," she observed
with a sweet cheerfulness that seem
ed almost a reproach to some who
listened, "I am glad that this year
the bright side of the carpet s going
to be the upside. -
The little maid was right. Her
cause of rejoicing was just. 1t is
sad that so many Of us persist IN
keeping, the dark and somber side
of things uppermost at least halt
the time. And others, still more
foolish, do not give the bright side
even an equal chance with thai
which is gloomy and disheartening
Why not put our worries and per
plexities and annoyances out OF
sight, keeping uppermost all tha
will rejoice our hearts, instead o.
reversing the process?

ROME, Nov. 26,--The tremendous
increase in divorce in the United
States is viewed with deep appre-
hension by the Vatican. Monsignor
Bonaventure Cerreti, adviser TO Car

of state, today characterized the
spread OF divorce, not only in Amer

world as "a wave which threatens
to submerge and destroy not only
the sanctity of family life, but the

No Special Measures.
Pope Benedict XIV is not contem-
plating any special measures at the
present time against the divorce evil,
but 1t was stated at the Vatican that
ANY attempt in this direction. no
matter from what quarters it comes,
will receive the hearty support Of
the pontiff and his official family"
Rumors have been current that
Pope Benedict would issue world
wide appeal against divorce or take
some other measure to combat the
lo0sening of the marriage tie.
Monsignor Cerreti, in discussing
this rumor, said:
mo change Is contemplated at
present in the decided and consist
ent attitude adopted by the holy see
in regard to divorce. The Roman
Catholic church has always con =
demned divorce and continues to
