Such Weddings.
Bx International News service.

CLEVELAND, April elf you
marry a divorced person, the
chances are your matrimonial
bark will hit the rocks. according
to Judge George S. Adams, OF
the Cleveland Juvenile court.
Judge Adams has passed upon
thousands of cases of conjugal in
felicity in his years on the bench,
eff a woman cant live with one
man. she isn't going to make a
success of married life with an
other in most cases." Judge Ad
dams said.
"Of course, nj cases where the
husband deserts his wife for no
legitimate reason, the rule doesn't
apply, but mort divorces are the
result of petty quarrels in the
home.
1.-The rule applies to men as we'll
as women. The practice of jump
ing from one mate to another inn
mediately after the Divorce decree
Is granted is growing more COM
mon and is disastrous to the
American home.
Names on our divorce docket
are duplicated not once but many
times. I always ask whether the
contracting parties in a divorce
suit have been married before, and
the number who have is astonish-
ing"
