CLUB Women of State ia
Better Picture Campaign

The clubs of California have near
lv all established motion picture
committees but many of those APP
pointed are at loss to know Just
how the committees are to function,
They know that the aim is for bet
ter pictures and are in hearty SYM
pathy with the movement; but the
methods of procedure puzzle them.
Mrs. \. A. Hummel, chairman of
motion pictures in the Los Angeles
district federation, is working out a
definite plan. She SAYS: We must
have large committees of represent
ative, broad-miuded people in the
various communities who shall co-
operate with producers. distributors
and exhibitors in selecting good pic
lures, previewing before release
whenever practicable, and advertis-
ing them in every way possible. .
III Centre has been fortunate in
having an exhibitor that chooses his
pictures with care and discrimina-
tion and this has resulted for the
most part, in the showing of only
high class films IN this city.

lationship Of mothers to the schools
She urged attendance on the part OF

some of the localities to induce
mothers TO be present. In some
places, the room or grade having the
largest attendance of parents at Il

children S interest is stimulated, re-
acting upon the parents.
Mrs. Beeman urged mothers 10 IN

Mrs. Beeman firmly belives that

divorces.
In fact, from my investigations,
l learn that non-support and scpar-
alton cases added another 1900 to
the 1922 record. You can see that
means one separation for every
marriage. Actually there were so
more divorces applied for in 1922
than in 1921 and six hundred fewer,
marriages solemnized. ...-..
"Iu Chicago last year, as reports
show me, there were 10000 marriage
licenses granted, mostly to Young
people and l%,000 divorce dccrecs
were signed. These signed dccrccs
do not represent all that were ap-
piled for.
This does not mean that society
Is becoming decadcut but il means
that society must be psycho-analyz-
ed. just as we recognize the effect
of suppressed desires and instincts
in an individual so we must ap-
ply the same analysis to social life
We must realize the fact that we are
facing a terrible conflict between
instincts. Social life today is a mat
ter of artificial restraints. Instead
it should be regulated by natural
restraints.

to the recognition of the failure of

CHICAGO, Jan. 4.--Old fashioned
church weddings, and not new
tangled marriage laws, were recon-
mended by Judge Joseph SABBATH, as
the logical solution of the divorce
problem.
Marriage is not failure-but Il
| bowling success. declared the
Judge, who has decided thousands of
divorce cases here.
Judge SABBATH discussing figures
submitted by Judge Lindsey in sup
port of his charge that marriage had
fallen down declared they were not
fair criterion as they are taken
from the postwar years which were
abnormal.
"There were many hasty mar
riages,' the judge said.
"Give us more of the good old
fashioned marriages where the
blushing bride and modest groom
march seriously TO the wedding al
tar, realizing the sacred significance
Of the life's partnership they are
entering into and there will be less
occasion for DIVORCE he said.
TOO many marriages were per
formed by Justices of the peace, !

couple should understand each other
and know the seriousness of the
marriage pact. These fly-by-night
marriages, performed by court jus
tees cannot be expected to last.
