UBIQUITOUS DIVORCE LAWS

If we are to have divorce laws at
All based on other than Bible GROUNDS,
those laws should be carefully SAFE
guarded and restricted to as few
grounds for divorce as possible.
Floridas divorce laws are far 100
loose.
Take the case of Mary Pickford.
She obtained divorce out in Nevada
which the Attorney General OF that
state is seeking to have set aside IN
order to preserve the good name OF
the state. already in disgrace because
of it's loose laws.
Mary Pickford is beloved by host
of moving picture fans, and not one
OF them familiar with the little
Queen of the Movies in thousand
girlish and innocent parts, will wish
for her anything but speedy release
from an embarrassing situation, ana
complete clearing of her record. But
the case by its publicity calls atten
tion to the need of more uniform and
drastic laws covering divorce and
re-marriage.
If the laws governing divorce were
laIike in all the states, and founded
ON sound principles of justice AM
good faith. no divorce could be oh
tanned which could be questioned late
in any state. If the laws Of all tn
states agreed in forbidding the re
marriage of any divorced person vi
til at least a year had passed, no pei
sons. however impetuous of misguit
ed, could find themselves in the sit,
alton which now confronts two popl
lar moving picture stars.

WHY CROOKS FLOURISH

Plainly stated, crooks flourish be-
cause there are so many honest poo-
pie.
The manager of one of New York's
largest hotels. says an article IN a
current magazine, during the last
yeI cashed $3,15O,OO0 worth of
checks for guests and patrons. As an
indication of the care employed 1t
need only be mentioned that the 60,
tal loss from bad checks amounted to
less than $125.'
This is more than an indication ol
care by hotel people, II is a com
mentary, writ large for all to read
upon the honesty of people In gener
al Dishonest people succeeded IL
passing SIPS worth of bad paper
Doubtless others tried to do so ant
failed. But $3,150,000 worth wa

This Is why the blue sky crook

honest, but. being human, they judg

Rev. Patterson OF Bradentown and

that every enterprise and every busi-
ness and the success OF nations are
founded upon the Bible and to deviate
from the real teachings of the Bible
is to be lost and to wander In the
darkness and misunderstanding OF
not only ignorance but the confusioa
of ideas that should all be merged
into the composite whole of perfect
|, understanding as set forth In the
word OF God.

people to save money and gives then
the safest means for doing so; arc
also most important, teaches the pee
pie not to waste their money. At tn
