To Escape
Divorce

LOS ANGELES, September
'20.--Divorce should not be con
sidered merely a national evil,
according to DR.. DavilS Starr
Jordan, echancellor emesifas of
! Stamford University, Mho is
here attending the convention
of scientists.
{" Divorce gives an outlet
for marital woes that is essen
tial at times. When people are
mismated why have them go on
living in misery together9
"But they should separate
by mutual agreement and only
after they have given much
thought to the subject, especial
ly if there are children. The
real tragedy of divorce is the
blighting effect on the chill
dren.
Neatness by both husband
and wife has kept many ro-
nance off the shoals of discord
and mutual disgust.
The lack of a collar at the
breakfast table has been the
rift which, slowly widening, has
broken cup many homes.

Last reports from the fire lines
were that the force of 900 men
fighting the blaze seemed TO be
placing it under control again.
Fires in Sonoma. Napa and Sola-
no counties and in the Placerville
region were reported rapidly dying
out.
Meanwhile Berkeley, where was
wrought $10,000,000 of the $4,000
900 damage the fires have done. was
rapidly organizing for re-construc-
tion.
Troops were kept on guard in the
burned area and no one without (;
pass was permitted to go through
the lines.
In the burned district household
ers who had lost their property
were busy searching the ruins for
what thev might vet salvage.
Wheeler Hunts Ruins
Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president
emeritus of the University of Cali
fornia, spent most of yesterday
the spot where his home had stood,
searching the ashes for bits of his
valuable collection Of rocks ar1
for parts of his library which might
have escaped. He was said to have
recovered but little.
Throughout today the work of
clearing away wreckage continued
with powder squads dynamiting
chimneys which stand like great
tombstones in cemetery, practical
ly the only thing left erect among
the ruins.
Meetings Of property owners were
being held to plan rebuilding. 1t
was considered probable that a new
plan for laying out the burned dis
trict, embodying the most modern
IDEAS in city planning, would be
adopted.
Reports Of insurance indicated
that the losses were possibly not
fifty per cent covered by insurance.
Rates were high in the burned dis
trict on account of low water pres
sure and many carried only small
amounts of insurance and some pro-
perty owners carried none.

across and the referee had announced
that Dempsey was still champion OF
the heavyweight class.
Many in the audience were friends
of the challenger, as was shown when
1t was announced that he was forcing
the fight. But the sages In the crowd
realized that Gibbons was taking the
losing end and shook their heads
wisely when the man with the mega
phone continued to announce news OF
Dempsey's superiority.
Showers sent many of the fans
scurrying into nearby doroways, but
like Gibbons they always came out for
more. Besides the street, neighbor-
ing roofs were occupied and every
window within megaphone distance of
the Herald" was filled with men and
women.
So dense was the crowd on Church
street that automobile drivers had
difficulty in pushing their way
through even on low gear. Police
man Michael Massey and Special Po-
liceman Michael O'Brien were called
on for help on several occasions when
the crowd remained as firm as Glib
bons' jaw and refused to make way.
The punch by-punch account of the
battle was received by the Herald"
over its Associated Press wire direct
from the ringside at Shelby, the news
reaching this city almost as quickly
as Dempsey and Gibbons manufac-
tured it in the squared circle.

RAILROAD PROBLEM
IS VERY Big ONE
Declares Governor Tenpleton on
His Return Today

Hartford, July 5.-The report of
the joint New England railroad COM
mittee is a very valuable work for
these states, said Governor Templeton
today. He returned Wednesday from
Poland Springs, Me-, where he at
tended conference of New Em4nnd
governors.
THE conference of New England
governors" he said, was originally
suggested by Governor Baxter, not for
the purpose of discussing the railroad
report but purely for the purpose of
bringing together the chief executives
of the New England states. He felt
that the problems confronting the six
states were bound to be similar and
that an Interchange of ideas was
bound to be useful. So the invitation
was extended. To me 1t was most
interesting and instructive to observe
how similar after all were the ques-
tions which confronted our several
states.
With regard to the matter of con-
solidation of New England railroads
I cannot add anything to what has
already been given out. The report
of the joint railroad commission is
voluminous one and most thorough.
1t will bear the closest study. That
study we all propose to give 1t. And
when we meet again in August we
shall have the situation more clearly
In mind. Meanwhile we have request
ed the interstate commerce commits
sion to defer any hearings on the SUBJ
ject until the people of New England
can digest the report. &c.,
irrespective of whatever conclu-
sions may ultimately be arrived at
feel that the railroad commission has
done most valuable work for New
England since 1t has marshalled facts
as they have never been marshalled
before. And when the facts on any
problem are brought together some
worth while solution is sure to fol-
low when the subject Is approached
with courage and vig0~. -rhe problem
Is a very big one indeed but it Is not
too big for New England to solve"
