Porto Rican
Children in

Many hundreds of children in
Porto Rico wore tiny American
flags on the Fourth of July in
honor of the Porto Rican and
american soldiers who fought
in the world war. The ribbon
flags were distributed by the
Juniors of the Insular and For
eign Division OF the American
Red Cross.
At the request of the Insular
Commissioner of Health, an ap-
preparation of $500 has been
made by. the Junior American
Red Cross of San Juan for the
completion of the school building
at the tuberculosis Sanatorium.
This fund Is in addition to the
$4,000 appropriated last year for
the building of this school.
Junior Red Cross members are
also making furniture for the
schools of France which were
destroyed during the war. In ad-
dition to this work, a system of
correspondence between Che
children of France and the
cildren of Porto Rico has been
arranged.

DIVORCE GRANTED IN JAPAN
WITH THREE LINE LETTER
Was Simple Matter for Husband to Dismiss
Mate in By-Gone Days.

you are divorced, and 1 shall raise
no objections whatever against
your marrying with whomsoever
you desire.
The above was clearly a case in
which in America there would have
been a divorce against the -errant
husband. but the Eastern concep-
tion of the wife's place in the fam
lily still left the matter wholly to
the decision of her lord and master.
Seven Grounds for Divorce.
Divorce used to be very common
among the lower classes and very
rare among the rich. The differ
ence is sarcastically explained by
Prof. Chamberlain when he asks
why should a man take the trouble
to get divorced from an uncon-
genial wife when any wife occupies
too inferior a position to be able
to make herself a serious nuisance,
and when society has no objection
to his keeping any number of mis-
tresses? The seven grounds for
divorce, according to the old code.
were disobedience, barrenness. lewd
conduct, jealousy, disease. talking
too much, and thievishness. There
were, on the other hand, three
cases in which he could not divorc.

served the mourning for her pa
rents-in-law: il he had become
richer than when they were mar

to return to.

date from the old days--that is.

TOKYO, (By MaiD.-A divorce in

ter" the explanation of the quaint
term being that divorce was for
merIy a matter for the pleasure of
the hus band, who when he wished
to get rid of wife dismissed her

The fine simplicity of the pro-
ceeding is revealed in translations
which have been made by DR..
One reads:
Certificate of Divorce.

future reference that your daugh-
ter to whom I got married should
be divorced, as do not agree with

Even when the husband was a
"scallywag." and admitted 1t. the
procedure still followed the same
lofty masculine line. as witness a

pleads guilty to the document in
which he effects the divorce:

behavior that l committed recently

'T was along the lane this morn

talking to a man in the ROAD
fat man with a car-and he said
that the real John Smith was the

said that he'd taken his place and
that Anne and everyone thought he
was the real chap. He said that
he'd played a fine trick on us all.
hoodwinked US" He stopped to
get his breath. but Mr.. Harding
showed no surprise; he just lis
tened with a family amused smile
that seemed to exasperate the boy.
for he broke out again excitedly:
why don't you speak? Why don't
you say something? He's fraud,
l tell you-he's not John Smith at
alI-he's not the man we think he
is. 1 tell you"
Mr.. Harding spoke then, with
cynical smile.
My dear boy. all this is no news
to me. I've known 1t for weeks,
almost from the nrst moment John
or Whatever HIS TCdl hdAAC ~
came TO the house"
TOmmy's mouth fell open; he
gasped in amazement.
you knew! Then why did you
let him stay? why didn't you tell
Anne? why have you let it go on?'
Il chose to let him stay to suit
my own purpose" Mr.. Harding said
quietly. "I knew IL he was given
sufficient rope he would hang him
self in the end. and already he is
doing IL quite nicely and finally.
Fernie knows all about him, too!
Fernie recognized him as the man
ne saw walking away from the body
of the real John Smith in the woods
that afternoon"
You don't mean. Fernie
doesn't think that he murdered
him-did him in?" Tommy gasped.
Not quite as bad as that" Mr.
Harding answered. The man died
of heart failure right enough, but
John-this so-called Jlhn-took
his letters and pocket case, and ap-
parently there was sufficient evil
dence in them to allow him to
carry on his game comfortably for
a time. but now l think we've
got him very thoroughly! l think
he has reached the end of his
tether."
And Anne does she
knowy'
Mr.. Harding's face clouded.
Poor Annei no-she has no idea
at least. I believe not. That's the
trouble. Tommy-I'm afraid when
she knows, it will break her heart

remains very much a matter of the

she's always crying when she
thinks there's nobody about. but
she's dead keen on him all the
same" He turned to the door, look
ing back at Mr.. Harding to say
grimly: 'T jolly well hope he does

There can be no open scandal.
Mr.. Harding said quickly. For all
our sakes. My only wish Is to pre-
vent things from going too far, ana
to save that poor girl unhappiness.
ITS too late for that already"
Tommy said shrewdly. as he drag
ged himself out Of the ROOM.
He met the Fortune Hunter COM
ing in from the garden. where's

Tommy looked back over his
shoulder with a sly smile. II don't
know-unIess she's gone on the river

The Fortune Hunter walked into

behind him. Anne was leaning back
against some cushions in the corner

there were dark shadows around

There is no better exercise, no
