Astor got a divorce in three minutes

That was III new YORK. A man in ST
Louis was SUED tor divorce and All

meant that he had merely been Obliged
to go to a far Western state because
lie was threatened with tuberculosis
and his Wlte, refusing to leave st
Louis and go with MN, had taken
measures to provide for herself when
he went. She old not care enough

must answer for himself and for her
self.
Meanwhile it is agreed by the ex-
perts on all sides that, properly en-
ployed, the dollar, if it does not in
sure marital and ether happiness,
very sensibly contributes to the ameli-
Grafton of unhappiness of all sorts.
For, the experts agree. you can be
quite as unhappy without money as
with plenty of it, and that the posses
sion of enough money may very con-
siderably ameliorate, at least not in
crease, the sum of your misery.
Which bears out the original state
ment on which this story is based, that
lack of money causes most American
divorces by making married couples
unhappy.

MORE MONEY THAN SENSE

Santa Ana Register: A flush of in
dignation is the first emotion most of
us have when we read of wholesale
swindles. But second thought usually
brings the reflection that most swindles
are due to the greed of the swindled.
When the widow is fleeced out Of the
insurance money which should have
kept herself and her children from want,
the Indignation is more or less righteous
and lasting. But even in that case, had
the widow consulted and followed the
advice of reputable banker before in
vesting her all in blue sky stuff, it al
most certainly would not have happened.
When, however, patrons of pleasure
resorts are parted from large sums be-
cause they were too lazy-minded or too
greedy for quick returns to make proper
investigation, the rest Of us with our
little savings bank accounts, our dimin-
ishing home payments, our sound endow-
ment insurance, our Liberty bonds and
our few shares Of good industrial stock
salted down, may be permitted to smile.
That is, we may smile as long as we
stick to our little old sound investment
and do not listen to the lure of the willy
salesman who is going to give us profits
at wildly high percentage.

One Minute Essay

The origin Of the term PRINTER 8
Devil" as applied to the apprentices OF
the printing office was sometimes
thought to have been due to the very
unattractive appearance of the boy ow-
ing to the dirty character of his work,
handling inky rollers and papers, but
there is said to be more satisfactory
explanation than that.
Adolph Manutius, who was wen.
known printer about the latter part OF
the 18th century, employed the service
of black slave boy about his estab-
lishment, at that time somewhat OF a
curiosity, and the story became bruited
about that his assistant was an evil
genius. In order to clear himself OF th'
suspicion of wizardry, he published a
notice that anyone doubling the charac
ter of the lad was invited to visit tn
establishment and satisfy themselves
that he was real flesh and blood by
pinching him.

CITES DRIVER OF
COMMERCIAL AUTO
AS Law W0LlAT0R
Fail 10 Give Signals-Are
Safe; Weight of Truck
Protects Them

Motorists in this section of the state
are in constant danger of accidents
from careless truck drivers who fail to
use rear.sight mirrors and make turns
without looking behind, according to
hundreds Of complaints made to Off
eials Of the Automobile Club of South
ern California.
In some instances, it is pointed out
truck and delivery wagon drivers even
fail to provide their vehicles with tail
lights in good working order, evadine
the law in this respect on roads and
streets where they think they will not
be observed by traffic Officers.
Officials of the Automobile club are
calling the attention of traffic author
tiles to this practice in hopes that steps
NAV be taken to protect travellers on
the highways and force the commercial
vehicles to provide themselves with the
ordinary safety devices as outlined II
the state laws.
Complaints filed with the club say
that in many cases the trucks are pro
vided with something that answers the
legal description of mirror for seeing
if the road is clear behind, but that
these sOcalled mirrors are often so
dirty that no human being could see a
reflection in them.
Often truck drivers fail to give any
signal at all when turning suddenly,
and some testimony has been gathered
which indicates that the drivers of
heavy vehicles are unconcerned as to
the welfare of the motoring public be
cause they know that the weight OF
the truck will protect them in ease an,
other motorist runs into it.
Boys who are entrusted as drivers OF
delivery wagons are worst offenders in
failing to give arm signals, says the
complaints registered with the Auto
club.
