adequate to End Evil.

is almost Identical with the present
law.
All efforts to amend the bill were
defeated and the present bill, as
introduced. was roundly flayed by
Assemblyman Hall, who denounced
it as SHAM"
THE whole effort" Hall declared,
"is to pass a sham bill which will
not correct the divorce situation
that now, exists in Virginia.
This farcical substitute does
not undertake to prevent the ad-
vantages which may now be taken
Of the courts. as does my bill.
which provides for the appointment
of an attorney in all divorce suits
to represent the interests Of the
State"
Proponents Of new divorce legis.
lation, which 1t Is declared is needed
to break I'M crooked divorces in
Virginia, announce their intention
of dragging the scandals of Little

when the debate on the engrossed
amendment Is taken UP on the
floor.
Consensus Of opinion among the
majority of the legislators here is
that the present State laws are
adequate II the courts would do
their duty in enforcing them.
