y ANGELES, Oct.@ameri.a be-
cause of the seemingly increasing
diVorce evil. is not riding to a
Roman fall.
Such is the belief of Judge j. w.
Summerfield, who hears and sees
and talks divorce five days a week.
Despite the fact that he has heard
as many divorce cases as perhaps
any one jurist he does not believe
that we are on the ragged edge of
chaos because his calendar is
crowded TO its limit with domestic
complaints. Rather does he think
that human nature is just the same
today as it was yesterday, only to-
day the u%nhappily married have the
courage to ask for a public dis
solving of their ties. so that they
can rebuild their lives.
However. he does think that in
numerous cases Ii is too easy and
an evil. with hasty decisions on the
part of judges. who are accessories
to the evil.
FEW WRONG DIVORCES
But there are few wrong divorces
g-anted. in Judge Sumnerfield's
opinion, if me judge considers a few
salient questions. First. hat there
are two sides to every domestic
problem. Second. does there seem
= prospect FOR reconciliation? Third.

Fourth. that there are people so
Incompatible that no amount Of law
could ever force them 70 live to-

These are a few of the points
that Judge SummeTfield carries in
his mind when he listens to that
long line Of applicants who daily
air their domestic squabbles before
him.
The tawdry tales OF extravaganza
and stinginess: tales of immortality
and drunkenness; of youthful hot
headedness; of vain quarrelings: of
ordinary domestic difficulties that
have grown from molehills to noun
tains and need but a kind VOID to
level them; trickeries and coliu-
sions: honest and honorable causes
-many of trese go to make up the
patterns of his days work, but they
do not grow stale to him simply
because they require nor than cut
and-dried law to meet.

WHY TALK
Why NOT
AMALGAMATE

Amalgamation, as applied to cities,
means TO consolidate two or more
such interpretations; or in a bust
ness, to combine two or more com
panies making for better and much
stronger organization. That is CO.
peration. and that is also very
God business from the best points
Of view.
Sometime ago. Just before the
last elections. much talk was in the
air on the subject of amalgamating
the cities of Hammond. East Chi
cago and possibly Whiting. These
Indiana cities have a combined popu-
lation of some 100. 900 people, they
are so close TO each other hat with
the exceptions of three separate
naine may be taken for one city.
The advantages in combining three
cities under one incorporate name
can be easily seen when 1t is a
known fact thousands of dollars now
spent to run these cities would nat
urally be lowered to figures that
would max the people we'll satisfied
with amalgamation. Telephone toll
charges which the people now pay
for talking over the phone to their
friends and business men in separ-
ately named cities in this triangle;
excessive gas rates now charged to
these people; ov~er-taxation in one
or more cities; lack of better amuse-
ment parks. Y. NJ. C. a. etc. can be
eliminated only by the people
through a vote. a vote for amalga-
nation of Hammond. Whiting and
East Chicago.
Now is the time to call to the
attention of these people. the fact
that further delay in voting for the
determination means a further
setback. a longer delay, a discord

Supreme Court Rules in NeW
York Physicians Case.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Two de-
cisions bearing on enforcement OF the
Harrison anti-narcotic act were handed
down to-day by the Supreme Court. In
one the court held in effect physician
is prohibited under the act from pre-
scribing narcotics TO drug addicts IN
exceptionally large doses and in the
other declared that in prosecutions

the Government to charge in the indict-
ment that those selling the drugs
knowingly" violated the law.
Both cases reached the court from
New York. The one involving the right
of physician was a case brought
against DR.. Norris Behrman OF New
York city.
The other was case brought by the
Government against Frank Balint and
Alphonso Randazzo In which the Fed
eral District Court in New York city
quashcd the indictment because the word
