 Erect Headstones. :,

WASHINGTON. D. C., Sept 22.- The bodies of thousands of American soldiers killed during the world war and returned from overseas are Oc cupying unmarked graves in this country with Congress to blame for the condition, according to reports of the national legislative committee and service division of the American Legion here. 4
 Hundreds of letters from gold star parents reciting the Governments S failure to furnish gravemarkers as promised and as required have been received by the Legion organizations. Congress. however, has failed to ap- propriate sufficient funds to carry out the law which provides uniform headstOnes for the coun- try's military and naval dead.

 LONDON, Aug 17-Has a man the right to jilt girl whom he is engaged 10 marry?
 The question has been raised by London newspapers following d statement made by Justice McCardie in breach of promise case at Birm- ingham.
 Tt is my conclusion" said the justice, "tlrt more than half the di vorces are caused because the parties were not really in love. In many cases they discovered that fact be- fore the marriage took place A girl has d right to jilt man but "a man often goes ahead with the mar riage, fearing breach of promise pro ceedings."
 The Marchioness Townshend said she thought any honest man would tell his fiancee that he had ceased to love her, regardless of the risk of a breach of promise suit 4a
 The remarkable thing is that so many girls fail to realize that the men to whom they are engaged no longer love them" she added.
 Miss Genevieve Ward, English actress, said that an engaged girl should be glad to get rid of man who has transferred his affections to another without thinking of breach of promise suits.
 The Daily Mail. canvassing d number of practical business girls" reports that they prefer to have their fiances tell them the truth before the trip to the altar. They are generally opposed to breach of premise actions, but believe that q girl who has spent lot of money for wedding outfit should be re- imbursed by jilting fiance.
 "The right to love carries with it the right to jilt," announces one writer. If a man or woman finds that the early attraction is pass ing. it is therefore their bounden duty to break off. The day may ar rive when damages will be awarded not for correcting a very human mistake on the threshold of disaster. but for failing to correct it. There ought to be way of avoiding these disasters without undue penalty For there is nothing quite so hid eous. or quite so hopeless as a love less marriage" Seduction One Thing, Whim Another

CURIOSITY OF FINNY TRIBE

A fish that growis and meows like

to be in many respects the most won

more like snake than Il fish, It has
lungs and is obliged to put dts head

fishes both sprnng. and In fhe fossil
period these ancestors of theirs were
scattered over the entire world. One
reason these strange fish have been
preserved thousands and thousands Of
years after their prehistoric ancestors
were extinct Is because they can live
easily through long drOughts. Alliga-
