that about one out of every twelve
marriages in the United States today
results in a divorce-I can't feel
that they are all due to justitiable
causes-I ask that these young pco-
pie promise me that II trorole de-
velops, one or the other of them

either of them consult a lawyer.
Some lawyers are naturally born
peacemakers. Others are much bet

The third promise has to do with
the most wonderful part of marriage.
their lives. Rome decayed because
of the failure of its people 10 have
children.
America, down to the last man
and woman, must realize that we are
facing a similar situation. Wives
are frequently not doing their duty
to their husbands In the matter of
bringing children into the world. and
too often young people are afraid
they cannot afford the expense in
volved.
I want always to remind them that
II God rs to bless their union. the
most wonderful way in ~hich He
can bless 1t is in giving Them tiny
hands to guide and tiny heart to
lead. Jesus said. a little child shall
lead them" They must remember
that their happiness is no very apt
to depend on that very child. and
they owe It to themselves, America,
the Church. and God, to have chill
dren. And the promise Is that they
bring their children to church for
baptism and the right start In life
as soon after birth as possible.
In conclusion, they must never for
get the three promises nor the fact
that they need to be more attractive
to one another twenty years from
now than at this moment.

A potatoes eye would be fearful,
The heart of q lettuce grow sad:
Some csbbages head get dizzy.
A calm start talking bad.
A Spanish tale from an onion
Might split the peas in a pod;
blade of grass might cut them down,
II the flowers began to nod.
An apple would certainly dig to the core,
A banana slip on It's peel:
The scales of q fish would cheat, no
doubt,
And Virginia surely would reel.
The slippery elm would slide along,
A pin might lose its head;
Even the frogs would cease to crosk
And a widows past be dead.
The salad might leave without dressing
And give the window a pain:
A stamp might get licked for sticking,
And Adam start raising Cain.
The sun might get q shine on,
Causing the moon to beam
The needles eye might close In shame
And the tongue of shoe might
scream.
The doswood tree might bark aloud,
A boot might stick to the last;
A bean might stalk away in the dark.
And q plaster might lose its cast.
Tires would never have bowouts.
Blue Sundays might never accrue. d,
All this and more MIGHT happen If

Women Roomers in Government
Hotel Put Case in Hands
of Ex-Congressman.

Attorney James T. Lloyd, former
member Of Congress from Missouri,
who has beer retained by the guests
at the Government dormitories, to-
day is trying to settle the differences
between the management and the
girls which has arisen over the order
to vacate the third floor Of CD
building.
Demands Humane Treatment
-"I intend to ask the management to
see that the girls get treated fairly
and humanely," said Lloyd. THE
action of the management Saturday in
ordering the girls out, I do not con-
slider humane. am hoping that some
settlement can be reached today or
tomorrow"
While Attorney Lloyd is fighting
for fair and just treatment for the
girls In CD building. the twenty-five
girls who have refused to vacate their
rooms are still in possession. Bed
linen and towels are still lacking. and
nv Iudld scTNlCc 10 SiNch.
The management of the hotel and
the United States Housing Corpora
ton today still continue to refuse to
make a statement regarding their
position. The girls are waiting now
to see whether Mrs. Sarah E. Sumner,
manager Of the hotel, will attempt to
forcibly evict the girls who refuse
to obey her order.
''The girls have paid their rent up
to August /, and the law prevents
the authorities at the dormitories
from eyicting them" declared Lloyd.
"The girls, in refusing to vacate.
have acted under my instructions.
Matrons Still Mum.
At CD building this morning
everything appeared serene. To In
quiries by reporters, matrons OF the
building continued to say, Il have
nothing to give out" All callers
were referred to Mrs. Sumner. And
Mrs. Sumner asked the reporters to
to wait for a "dignified statement"
For the first time in two days the
rooms occupied by the girls have
been empty. The girls are all ut
their office employment.
The chairman of the Interview
ing" committee. which in reality a
grievance committee, said this morn
ing, I'VE are waiting for the next
move of the authorities here" She
made IL clear that II would not be
surprise to find, when the girls re-
turned tonight, that the personal be-
lodgings of the twenty-five occupants
had been removed to the halls and all
rooms locked securely.
No matter what action the manage
ment takes, 1t is safe to say that the
girls will continue to live on the
third floor, even If they are compelled
to sleep in the hall.
Newspapers are in great demand at
the dormitories today. not only for the
news they contain, but for their value
as bed sheets.

men that there is way OF lower

On account of the activities Of
