K. OF 6. TO FIGHT AGAINST DIVORCE

The only non-reform convention to be held in the United States this year will be that of the Knights of Columbus, when their international gathering, the thirty-ninth of its kind, will be held in San Francisco August 2-3-4. It is called the only non-Eeform convention because it is the only meeting of a. recognized vel fare organization that will not at tempt to launch any reform move ment.
 "E5e only evil that we shall take steps to remove" said William J. Mo Ginley, supreme secretary of the K. elf C.. "is the divorce evil. In our extensive national work in placing orphans in good homes we have come face to face with the evils of divorce.
 we do not believe that divorce can be abolished by any hysterica1 amendment to the constitution, but we do believe that by making divorce more sacred. The Knights of Col umbus, as an organization, avoids taking any foolish liberties in the matter of tobacco, liquor or Sunday sports We stand for temperance in all thing.-tenperance not meaning prohibition.
 "But against divorce. our stand is certain, not only on religious but on social grounds, for easy divorce has made the marriage relation some thing of 8 joke in the United States. Eight hundred thousand men and their families will be represented at the K of c. convention in San Fran be adopted to enlfghten the American people regarding the insidious evil that is now permitted to go unchech- ed"
