ALCOHOL WINS PRAISE
AS SOCIAL STIMULANT
American Doctor Says It Helps
Many to Forget Dull
Care.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
LONDON, August All American
doctors are regarded by foreign medi-
cal men as more or less expert con-
cerning alcohol, as regards the conse-
quence of going without 1t altogether
oyerindulgence and the various stages
of inebriety betwixt and between.
Therefore the assembled doctors al
the meeting of the British Medtca
Association at Glasgow listened with
great interest to what DR.. John T.
MacCurdy of Cornell Medical College
had to say about "alcohol in its re-
lation to human economy.
Each one Of us in varying degrees
meeting the world as the unfortunates
who demonstrate their incapacity
dramatically. The "normals" drugged
themselves with cheap fiction, theaters
and movng pictures; above all they
forgot themselves in . social inter-
course.
when, however, a man is tired OF
oppressed with care" DR.. MacCurdy
went on, how can he forget his OBJ
sessine anEieties sufficiently to be-
come social? If he be normal small
amount Of alcohol will give the neces-
sary relaxation. Conviviality is more
important for the maintenance of our
mental ability and effectiveness than
we realize. Innumerable people are
happier and, therefore, healthier. be-
cause they indulge moderately in al
cohol.
I'VE live in an imperfect world-im-
perfect largely because we have not
yet gained the capacity to govern our
own instincts. Alcohol is q crutch that
man has discovered to help him with
this disability"

Senator Fleming. fisherman

ing an echo expressed through the
curiosity of SO famous person as
Hudson Maxim. the inventor and
author.
In letter to S. G. McLendon,
secretary of state. Mr.. Maxim
wrote: II see by the New York
Tribune that a bill has been intro
duced in the senate of the state of
Georgia by Seantor Dennis Flem-
ing which contains some proVi-
sions so drastic that it has oc-
Cured to me that the whole thing
must be a joke"
Quoting provisions of the bill as
described in the Tribune story,
that amy and all married men who
shall go fishing without the con-
sent of their wives shall be guilty
of a felony, and their sentence
shall not be less than five or more
than twenty years at hard labor"
the inventor wrote. II shall deem
the courtesy very much il you will
let me know whether or not such
legislation is being proposed IN
the state of Georgia. AS I am writ
ing a book on lawless legislation

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. August 20
Judge Major L. Durham OF superior
court today awarded a decree OF aoso-
,ute divorce to Melvin E. Trotter. su-
perintendent of the Grand Rapids city
Rescue Mission and nationally known
EVANGELIST. He dismissed the suit Tor
separate maintenance brought oy MIS-
Trot,er. He said Mrs. Trotter's
charges that her husband had oeeh
unfaithful and that he had treated
her cruelty had not been substantial
ed by evidence.
The court also held there was no
evidence to subStantiate the charges
of Mrs. Trotter that her husband was
the father of a child born in July
1917, to Miss Florence Moody. secre-
tary and boOkkeeper at the Rescue
Mission, or that he had conducted
himself with other women in an un-
becoming manner.
Wife Held Cruel.
The Judge, in his opinion. declared
he believed Mrs. Trotter was actuateo
in filing her suit for separate main
tenance by the fact that she never
has been able to persuade the defend
ant to confess that he was the father
of the Moody child
The court also asserted Mrs. Trot-
ter charged her husband with acts OF
alleged cruelty that "at the time they
were committed. il they were com
mitted. were overlooked by her and
not regarded by her as of any signifi-
canoe"
The court, in his opinion. holds Mrs.
Trotter herself was guilty OF ex-
treme cruelty by circulating stories
to the effect that her husband was
the father of the Moody child
Alimony Is Awarded.
AS permanent alimony. Mrs. Trotter
is given the Trotter home and an ad-
Joining house. rentals from which
amount to SIPS a month. She also
is given the furnishings Of the Trot-
ter home and $4,000 in cash. The
Trotter estate is valued at $4,000
or more.
Mrs. Trotter filed suit for separate
maintenance several months ago and
her husband countered with suit
for absolute divorce. The trial, con-
cluded several weeks ago after con-
tinuing for more than a month,
brought a denial by both Trotter and
Miss Moody on the witness stand that
the former was the father of Miss
Moody's child.

1t as slowly crumbling. Many of
the turrets. which command the
salient points as the wall climbs
over the mountain tops, are in
ruins. and tourists and natives
alike wrench the stone blocks
from the superstructure to throw
into the valleys below. Yet 1t is
maintained that the great struc-
ture. extending from Shanhaikuan
on the sea almost to the borders
of Tibet has many centuries to
live. although no efforts are made
to preserve It.
Construction of the wall was
begun 200 B. C. by Emperor Chih
Huang tt, q contemporary of
Hannibal. who conceived this bar
rier to keep out the Tartars. At
one time 100000 criminals and
prisoners of war were engaged in
the work. The main part Of the
wall, however. was not undertaken
until the seventh century, when, it
is said. 100000 workers were en-
plOyed.
