British Actors
Have No Desire
To Copy U. S.

LOND0N.-British actors and ac.
tresses have no desire to emulate
their fellow players in America by
giving Sunday theatrical perform
ances. A proposal TO open London
theaters on Sundays has Just been
voted down by an overwhelming ma
jority at meeting organized by the
British Drama league. Most of
those who voted were members of
the theatrical profession.
The suggestion that plays be CIV
en- on Sunday was made by Arthur
Boucher, an actor, and Father Ad-
derley, a popular socialist divine.
Mr.. Boucher said that only 'such
plays should be produced on Sun
days as did not occupy the usual
weekly bill and that acting on Sun
days should be optional. Any at
tempt at coercion. ho declared.
should be made illegal.
Father Adderley urged that it was
a question OF common sense, not Of
religion, the the fourth command
ment had long ceased to be Gods
law. He believed that Sunday should
be day OF recreation. and that "if
there is one thing that really does
recreate II is seeing a play"
George Bernard Shaw quickly had
the house roaring with laughter. He
began by supporting the proposal
with extraordinary enthusiasm in
his capacity Of playwright who want
ed to make money out OF his plays.
and ended by condemning 1t with
even greater fervor as "friend of
the actor"
"If you give up your present Sun
day holiday under the impression
that Sunday will be any different
from other days in the theater or
that you will be getting any more
money for seven days work than for
six. then I shall continue to hold
the same opinion of your political
as members of the Brit
ish public. as have held in the
past"

For Vancouver

d. A. Applegate, local agent for
the American Railway Express COM
pany liberated 60 racing pigeons at
6 O'Clock this morning which will
fly to Vancouver, B. C. The birds
were shipped here by the Seattle
Racing Pigeon club who will time
the pigeons ON their arrival in Van
couver, Mr.. Applegate will be
notified by the club when the birds
reach their destination.
A shipment OF racing pigeons were
released at Roseburg last Sunday by
the American Railway Express COM
pany agent there and made flying
time of eight hours and As minutes
between that city and Seattle, a dis
tance of 3O7 miles. As the pigeons
will fly, Seattle is 376 miles from

birds will have to fly about 476
miles before reaching Vancouver.

LARGE TIMBER
SALE MADE TO
MEDFORD MAN

PORTLAND, Ore, May 2S.-The
purchase of $500 acres of timber
land or S7,00O,000 feet of lumber
In the Fourbit tract in Crater Ma
tional Park was made here by Mil
lard ID. 0lds of Medford In COM
petitiye bidding passed upon by
George Cecil, district forester. The
sale is one of the biggest made In
several years and marks an era OF
increased development OF the lum-
Der industry in Southern Oregon.
Situated IL q miles east OF Butte
Falls. the eastern terminus of the
Pacific & Eastern railroad, which
0lds is reported to have purchased
recently, the stand consists OF 81
per cent Western yellow and sugar
pine. The bid on the yellow pine
was 1915 while that on the re-
mainder was rs cents.
The contract makes IL necessary
for the buyer to begin cutting opera
tions June /, 1923. allowing two
years in which to erect necessary ap-
paratus and build a logging road
District Forester Cecil said today
the contract would be formally
awarded as soon as satisfactory
statement OF Mr.. 0lds' financial ahil-
lty to carry out the terms was fin
ished. He explained that this was
customary in all large timber con-
tracts.
The expenditure OF approximately
s23s,9S9 TO extend the tracks of
the railroad to the timber site is
one OF the greatest costs. The total
cost OF logging 1000 feet and dellv-
ering at Butte Falls is estimated at
sll.2O. From Butte Falls the rail-
connection goes direct to Medford.
where It makes junction with the

! UNITED Press Staff Correspondent.
LONDON, May 2S. - America has
so long been regarded as the home
of quick and easy divorce, that it has
come as distinct shock to staid
Britishers to learn that the divorce
courts in London are churning out
DEGREES at the rate OF one every
seven and half minutes of work
Ing time.
Further, there is a waiting list OF
some 1000 persons seeking divorces
when the judges have time to
spare.
The British divorce court is part
OF the High Court of Justice, head
quarters in London, and "The Pro-
bate, Divorce and Admiralty Divi-
sion" as it is called, is run by Sir
Henry Duke, President of the Divi-
sion, and two High Court judges
One of these is always required for
Admiralty or Probate (wills) cases,
so that heretofore there has hardly
ever been more than two courts work.
ing at the same time. British High
Courts sit from 10 to p. m. week
days except Saturday, and the inter-
walls between the various law terms
are lengthy. So tremendous has be-
come the congestion that strenuous
measures have had to be adopted.
Wherever possible spare judges
have been loaned from the Kings
Bench Court, the Lord Chief Justice
and even the Lord Chancellor have
lent a hand, working on Saturdays
as well. Lord Birkenhead was the
first Lord Chancellor to- tackled di-
vorce cases.
Lord Mersey, the retired octogen-
arian law lord, and one of England'H
greatest divorce judges, also came
out of his retirement and volunteered
to lend hand. disposing of cases
with astonishing speed. Now as
many as six or seven courts are grind
ing out divorces at an unprecedented
rate. Justice Hill recently broke all
records by "unmarrying" 1873 couples
in one minute. He accomplished this
by taking his entire list of decree
nisis," (The final divorce decree after
he statutory period OF six months
from the trial, when the divorce is
pronounced absolute" and pronounc-
ing them absolute" in one bunch,
after the clerk has read out the
names.
The Divorce Courts have never
worked very rapidly, and were usu-
ally in arrears in pre-war days but
the enormous increase of petitions for
dissolution of marriage is attributed
to the fading Of war-romances, tho
huge proportion of "undefended"
cases, proving the failure of many
hasty war weddings The process of
"unmarrying" is expensive in Eng
land, the cheapest "undefended" suit
