THEIR POINT OF VIEW

John Davis had never had a case which gripped his interest as did the Glendening divorce suit. It illumined subject to which he was applying himself with intense energy Davis was determined to effect a national divorce law to replace the existing state legislation which made mock cry of justice. The divorces of sew eral nationally prominent people un- der peculiar circumstances had pre- pared the public mind for the needed changes. The peculiarities of the Glendening case bridge the last gap in his plans.
 Davis had lost his wife soon after marriage. Rumor had it that even in the brief period of his welded life he had found the eonnubial state a

Loves Masquerade
A Dramatic Story of Love and Romance
 By IDAH MGLoNE GIBSON

| thorny road He remained single not Ebecause his heart was buried in the i grave with the foolish chit of a girl whose waywardness had almost wrecked his life. but because he had lost confidence in all women at that time.
 Jim Clavering, too. was bachelor
 His laughing rejoinder to friends who
 twitted him on his celibacy was that
 he had too much respect for all
 women to make one miserable. But his intimates told another story. They would hint guardedly at
 his having fallen in love with a
 woman who was married when he
 met her and that he had lived
 through years of anguish without speaking, even when he saw the
 woman he loved made miserable by
 the man she had married.
 Dr. George Milton, the youngest and most famous of the three, had
 married before he left college. His
 wife was so ungovernably jealous of
 him from the moment they married
 that she nearly ruined his practice iand his career before her mania de-
 veloped into such a pronounced men
 tai weakness that she had to be ,con- fined in sanitarium
 Naturally each of these men looked upon marriage from the point of view Of his own personal experience. It had become their favorite indoor sport to discuss the marriages of
 their friends and to speculate upon their divorces. But their talks were
 couched In serious rather than a frivolous vein They voiced misgiv- ings over the menace of divorce as if affected the younger generation. , They stood aghast at the trivial causes for which divorces were freely given.
 The Glendenings were of that
 younger generation. As both were
 very well known and Harry Glen dening, al least, very well liked by almost every one in town, their di-
 voree proceedings had made a tre-
 mendous sensation. Of course, all three men were much interested in
 the case even apart from the profes- 1 sional concern which Davis and Clayering had as opposing counsel for the Glendenings.
 [ Both lawyers knew that their
 friend, the doctor. held many unusual views on marriage. And they knew 1 that if he would talk it would pay
 them to listen. He also had some
 radical ideas upon divorce. He had
 been heard to say that it was usually ehe otier woman Tn the case that he pitied most. If her name Is bandied about in the courts and newspapers, . he observed, even though the di- vorce is granted and the man marries
 her, the stigma of separating man from his wife clings to her alone. No one ever says much about the hus-
 bands share in the tragedy.
 If her name never coYsas out ad
 the wife goes back to Ae9 husband.
 the other woman knows in her hcart that the man she has loved se u votedly at last has chosen hs wife and responsibility. instead of lssffa4s i the love he had declared aadg ng

MEDICAL SCHOOL AT J. OF A. TURNS OUT FIRST GRADUATES
21 Men Complete Course and Leave For Other Schools For Advanced Work.
 New Home

University, June Especial l--
 The Medical school of the university
 has closed for the year 1929. The
 first class has been graduated and
 most of its members have already
 made the necessary arrangements to
 enter other colleges to complete their
 courses Members If the class win
 be scattered all over tRes United
 states, some at Tulane. Emory, Jef-
 ferson Medical school. and others in Chicago, Cincinnati and at the Uni-
 Versily of Tennessee.
 Those finishing the two years full
 work are: w. E. Wilson. B. T Brts-
 tow. W, R. Garter, ". s Chapman.
 Morris J Duffy, James c, Gladney, l James D Hoffman, ". C. Hoiems, j. C. Hurst Richard Irons. Festus | Kitchens. J. R. Long, Luke Nabors,
 ' l. owines, W C Parsons, Grady
 se grest, Sam Snoddy, W. \. stall-
 worth, T. L. Tidmore, j. c. Walker and Nat M Weems.
 There was also q large class cf first year students who passed all i the required work and are ready for next years work. They were the last ones to get through. due to the fact that they had special work in anatomy to do in order to meet che requirements of the American Med- @eal association and keep the stand ard of the school up.
 New Building Erected There is now being erected on the campus a new and imposing building to be occupied by the medical de- partment as soon as if Is completed. | The external appearance of the new building is pleasing and will add much to the campus beauty. Not 1 only is il impressive hut il is de- | elared by Dr Brooks. dean of the medical school, to be of the latest type, equipped with all the necessi- ties for medical laboratory work, II will also include q large space for library and librarian will be eni- ployed to take care of the books and sec that they are distributed prop- erly.
 Faculty Enlarged
 Another important feature of the medical department Is that there VII
 be three additions to the faculty for
 the coming year Though the classes i will be limited to about 10 each or l practically the same as this year. there will be three more professors.
 this means that next years work will be even more thorough than this years work was. if that is possible l Anyway the medical department will lscertainly be well prepared in evary respect for the coming term and the students will lack nothing in tue waA 9f material and instruction. Dr. Clyde Brooks and his splendid corps of teachers have made a won derful record in the building of tho strong medical college here within l two short years and securing the rat ing of an A class medical college from the American Medical associa-
 tiop
 Another interesting fact about The medical department is that they will use Alabama Trade school furniture l for dissecting and class rooms. aii
 of which will be made by Alabama l students.

Egypt Played Checkers
Many Centuries Ago
Nearly Four Thousand Years Ago
The Egyptians Played.

Checkers is one of the oldest games
PLAYED today. Sixteen hundred years
before Christ was born the Egyptians
were playing a game along the Mic
that was essentially our game OF
checkers, or drafts, as the British pre-
fer to call it.
The ancient Greeks had the game
with but slight variations, and through
all the intervening centuries it has IN
terested and entertained people.
Some now prefer chess, another very
old game, claiming that there is more
mental work involved, but the game OF
checkers, simple as it is, presents a
demand Tor the use OF mental powers
quite equal to those of the average per-
son.
That the rules OF the game have be-
come very well established is indicated
by the fact that Joshua Surge 5

BEAN THAT is A cow.

Cultivation OF the soy bean has de-
veloped in China to such an extent
that it now represents the principal
agricultural industry OF that country:
Immense areas OF the great plains OF
southern Manchuria are devoted to
this crop. The worlds demand for
soy beans is steadily increasing, and
China's export OF them bids fair soon
to surpass in value that of its silk out
put. There are more than 1000 varie-
ties OF soy beans, from which an eX-
pertinent station at Kung- chu-ling, in
southern Manchuria, has chosen one
as the best OF all. 1t is nearly spheri-
cal, yellow in color and of the bigness
OF small pea. A yield of p per cent
OF oil is obtained from it. The soy
bean yields milk and butter (of prod
ucts equivalent for table use), as well
as a great variety Of other edibles, in
Guiding a famous sauce. Taken all in
all, the hve-ounce bean is one OF our
most versatile vegetables.

BILLION A YEAR
is OUR MOVIE BILL
GREAT SUM is SPENT TO SEE
PICTURES. QUARTER MIL
LION FOLKS EMPLOYED.

WASHINGTON. The American
people spend from seven hundred and
fifty million dollars to one billion dol
lars year to see motion picture
shows. the senate finance committee
was told today in the course OF ar
guments for and against a high tariff
on foreign-made pictures. The invest
ment in the industry totals about
$250,OO0,O0O and employment is given
to about 100000 persons.
Paul NJ. Turner OF New York, speak
ing ior Actors Equity Association,
testified that the idea that everybody
connected with the industry made big
money" was erroneous; that 90 per
cent OF those engaged in making films
received only "a living wage"
Mr.. Turner and John Emerson, an
independent producer OF New York,
speaking for himself and D. w. Grit
fifth, urged a duty on imported films
OF from 50 to 90 per cent ad valorem
in place OF the 80 per cent in the Ford
ney bill. They said the industry was
in bad shape with many studios and
a large number OF the lS,UUU motion
picture theaters over the country clos
ed.
Declaring that only a high tariff
stood between the industry and eXter-
mination, Mr.. Turner declared that az
this time 81 German-made pictures
were being exhibited in this country
and that four or five Of these had
welded the exhibitors $2,500,000. Amer
lean producers cannot compete with
the Germans, he said, adding that pic
lures which cost from 100000 to
to produce in this country
could be made in Germany for from
100000 to $4,000.
Saul z. Rogers, OF New York,
speaking for the National Association
Motion Picture Industry opposed the
duty in the Fordney bill, urging that
the present rate Of three cents foot
be retained. He declared that only
few foreign films and those depicting
great spectacles had been successful
in this country.
