DIVORCE MANIA, BLAMED

Pituitary Body Causes In
creased Separations.

The increased prevalence of divorce
in proportion to the growing wealth
of the country was attributed by DR..
Erneste E. Tucker of New York to a
change in function of the pituitary
body. one of the smallest Of the so
called ductfess glands. in his address
before the convention of the Ameri-
can Osteopathic Association today. He
said this little organ rs about the
size of a pea and Is hidden on the
underside of the brain.
Large heads do not mean largS
brains. DR.. Harry w. Forbes. former
president of the Los Angeles College
Of Osteopathic Physicians and Sur
geons. told the delegates.
MANY large heads mean more than
the normal seven tablespoonfuls of
water on the BRAIN" DIR. Forbes said.
when this normal amount of brain
water is increased the volume of
blood which can flow through the
head Is decreased. This lack of blood
circulation gravely impairs all brain
functions"
No reply has been received to a
message sent yesterday to DR.. Hugh
L. Russell of Buffalo. asking him to
appear before the convention to an

profess;ona ethics for testifying in

What Does It Mean To Be "Earthbound?''
Rv WIDA REDEIL.

srNo God, No sin, No future life Nothing but the survival of the httest and every man for himself.
 This is the creed by which two men lived. They subscribed to this creed in their college days, believing in it so strongly that they wrote it outi n contract form and signed their names to it. They believed In It.; they lived it.
 Then they left college, still strongly holding to the faith of this ruthless belief. Each achieved wealth, suc- cess a measure of happiness
 Later the wife of one chum, Jim. becomes enamored of Dick. Living by such a creed such condition was permissible. Permissible, also, was the ignoring of any claim that the other wife and her little daughter might have.
 So the wronged man takes the law into his own hand, thoroughly seeped with the desire for revenge, and kills h.S friend.
 Story is Startling.
 Here is where the startling part of the story begins. That it is interest ing must go without saying, for Basil King, one of the greatest and most thoughtful BgSsers of our day, wrote it. Ths spirit of the dead man, in- stead of being free to go on, as Spirits should do, finds itself earthbound, and, reasons the writer, must remain thus until his sin has been atoned for
 
 been satisfactorily, as far as possible, worked out.
 From then on the spirit of Dick the | murdered man, tries bravely to com l municate with his sorrowing wife with Jim, who, because he does not wish to incriminate Dicks wife, has refused to offer a, defense against the | murder charge brought against him and with Jim'S wife, herself, who alone can save the condemned man by acknowledging her guilty love for the murdered man. But the work is slow, and at times almost hopeless.
 The first to see the spirit of Dick is his little daughter, next Harvey Brecls, a close friend, becomes con- scious of Dicks presence at the club one day and makes himself ridiculous in the eyes of the other members by speaking ito the spirit. Later Dick appears to Dr. Roger Galloway in the church of which he is rector. Dr. Galloway speaks to Dick and tells him that he must straighten out the trouble he has caused before he can go on. By abandoning his sinful desires Dick is made better fitted for the task before him and finally suc- ceeds in influencing the actions of those with whom he associated in life so that Daisy is moved to make a voluntary confession before the jury

He's A ''GOOd Indian!"
BY ZELDA BEDELL.
A "good Indianl"

That's what they call Will Rogers around the Go1dwyn '1ot" in Holly wood where Will lives, moves and has his being. And there's more truth than poetry about that title, too, for he IS an Indian, at least, three eighths of him is, for his mother was one-quarter Indian. and his father one-eighth Cherokee.
 He was born on his fathers ranch twelve miles north of C1aremore, Oklahoma, which was then the Chero- kee nation of the Indian territory. Rogers is exceedingly proud of his father ,who was senator in the tribe : for many years, and also a member of the convention that drafted the constitution of the state of Oklahoma
 A quaintly lovable character is Wili-it's funny, but they never call him Bill! First, he was a cowboy; wouldn't go to school because he couldn't sit still long enough. Then he got bad attack of wanderlust and landed in South America where he lived for while on the pampas plains, earning his living with his -lafiat. Then he was offered a chance to go to South Africa doing a rope stunt in vaudeville, and he took it. Later, he toured America in vaude- vile, using his tongue as well as his rope. No one-who has ever seen Will irnitable drawI, his chewing gum, his qualntly humorous expressions. From the hrSt his act was a whirlwind sue : cess-then the Fo1lies got him. From there to the movies was a, short step, and he has more than made good his slow grin,y the :twinkle-in his eyes all serving tO-make him a figure that stands out above the others, for he occupies a, niche all by himself.
 AReal 1Vag
 It IS a pity that Rogers can't be HEARD in the movies, for his wit is quick and rare But there is one re- compenSe, most of the titles in his pictures are taken from extempor- aneous remarks made by him while the picture is being filmed The whole company, so many as can. all ways stand around when a Rogers
