STOP DIVORCE,
JUDGES PLEA
Thinks Society Would Ben

CLEVELAND, O., Dee. 81 United
Press. After several years OF close
study OF the cause and effect OF d.
Vorce, Judge A. j. Pearson. OF the
Common Please Court here. has
reached the conclusion that society
would benefit by the repeal OF all
legislation permitting dissolution OF
the bonds OF matrimOny. Denial OF
divorce would work a hardship in
some cases, he admitted, but the
general efrect would be distinctly
beneficial.
Judge Pearson believes much OF
the evil OF the present day is due 10

women who have been turned loose

My Daughter, consider the heart of
a woman; for it is stranger than a

Now in Babylon there dwelt a come

enamoured
And the first of these came unto her
with the fanfare of trumpets and the
blowing of motor-horns, as one should
say, Look who's here!"
And when he had shown her all his
trophies and his war-medals, and dis.
played all his accomplishments, he of:
fered to bestow himself upon her.
But the damsel was not dazzled, and
refused him without reservations
And his vanity was shattered forever
And the damsel hearkened for lit

end she turned from him; for he
wore soft tie and "rolled his own"

orchids and devotion and a twin-six

And, almost the damsel was per-
suaded, but in the end she said, "Oh,
wait!"
For she was exceedingly young. and
her heart had never yet been thrilled.
And the fourth youth dallied awhile
until he had learned the ways of
women.
Then he came unto the damsel and
cast himself at her feet and wept,
saying:
Alas, alas, what fool I am to
love thee! For my sins have been
past counting, and my weaknesses
have encompassed me, and there is
nothing in life for me save despair
and destruction. Yet, per-adventure,
had l but an Angel to guide me, l had
not come to this bitter past! Oh.

| And the damsel perceived that he
was in great trouble.
And she put her arms about him
and gathered him to her heart, crying
