PARIS, July 29-The increasing
number of divorces obtained in Paris
by prominent Americans and other
foreigners seeking relief from matri-
monial infelicity has led many inquir-
les as to why the French capital ap-
parently become such a European
Reno for discontinued spouses.
The chief magnet seems to lie is
the fact that divorce proceedings may
be brought in French courts with
silent ease and completed without
even friends and acquaintance aware,
at least through the medium of French
newspapers, that there has been the
slightest ripple on the sea of domesti
city.
Publication of such proceedings by
native newspapers is a criminal offense
on the ground of lowering public
morals. The newspapers may print
the names of those involved. = they
can obtain them, and the fact that a
divorce has been granted, but nothins
more.
Recent publicity in the United
States Of ONE divorce of American
in Paris has caused unpleasant feeling
of apprehension among attorneys for
others who have been contemplating
divorce action. Several cases Of
Americans are reported to have beer
taken to Tours, Bennes and other pro
vincial cities, both for the still great
er s~eclusion offered and because the
provincial court calendars are not over
crowded as those in Paris.

GOOD TIMBERING
KEEPSDONNMINE
ACCIDENTS HERE
Believes II a Factor
In Harrison and Marion
Counties

The mine accident rate in
Marion and Harrison counties is.
said to be due to the fact the
miners timber and set posts more
generally with the idea Of observ-
ing safety. This was one Of the
points made at last nights session
Of the Fairmont mining extension
school. Roof conditions here In
some instances are Just Is dam
gerous as In other sections OF the
state, but the companies insist
upon proper timberlng and the
miners live up to 1t or at least
more SO than In some sections.
The fact was mentIghed in the
class last night that it care full
timbering has done that much to-
ward keeping the number OF accI-
dents down that a great deal more
could be avoided in the mines by
a stricter observance of placing
plenty Of posts. At that the acct
dent rate Is entirely too high. and
in most instances neglect to tim
Der Is one Of the largest contribute
ing causes. Accidents at the work
ing face appear to be in the lead.
1t is very difficult In many instan-
ces to get miners to place posts
properly for their own protection.
Won't Set Props
1t ls believed that one OF the
most difficult duties Of a mine
foreman. at least they declared 1t
last night, is to get miners to set
sufficient props and place them
properly. 1t was generally con-
oeded that companies might do
well to encourage this by equip
ping every miner with a good set
of tools. Usually the miner has a
dull ak and saw and Is not equip
ped to do All efficient piece OF
timberlng in the mine. There Is
nothing In the West Virginia min
ing law to cover the point except
that 1t be swung in under Section
SO, which provides that operators
shall have special rules for guild
ance in operating the mines, which
must not, however, conflict with
the state mining laws. The point
Of timbcring should be more ade-
quately covered in the mining law,
1t is generally thought, because 1t
means safety OF life as well as
safety Of property.
Cap Pieces Discussed
Too frequently cap pieces are
Improperly put in place with the
result that the pressure OF the
roof breaks them. In some In
stances, miners have put as many
as three or four cap pieces above
the prop. It was commended that
the big end of the prop should be
at the soft top or bottom such as
the case may BE. The prop, which
would naturally break at the
weakest point anyway. perhaps
would be either placed at the bot
tom or the top with the rule kept
in mind that the big end touch the
soft top or bottom.
In Ohio State Law
In passing. John Crawford,
president Of the class, mentioned
provision in the Ohio state mining
law, which provides a miner must
set his props every morning be-
fore he shoots down his coal. Mr..
Crawford said he suggested this in
a paper, which he prepared. and
later the chief Of the department
