One woman went to this physi-
elan because e:ae thought she had
water on the knee, but the doctor
discovered she was suffering from
husbands on the mind.
He believes in bloodless surgery.
He doesn't have TO take out your
appendix or remove your tonsils
to make you happy. All he does Is
sever your matrimonial bonds.
This is the first time a doctor
ever used the city hall for an
operating room.
While an operation like this may
save your life, the shock is apt
to kill your husband, but You can
tell his folks that you got well in
Self-defense.
Some husbands are hard to live
with. and there's no use in being
4 nervous wreck just because
you're too timid to go to court.
Divorce prescriptions are non-
Reliable; you've got to get a new
one every time you get a fresh
husband.
These prescriptions aren't trans
ferrable either. If you drop ii on
the street, you don't have TO worry
about. some other dame picking III
up and using it.
Since this physician advised di-
vOrce as the only cure for some
women, a lot Of men are afraid to
send their wives to the doctor.
Divorce doesn't cure you in one
day. You have TO take rebuild
ing medicine afterward, and ali
nlony is the best tonic.
No matter how well and strong
you get. there's nothing that can
run you down like a husband
who's behind in his payments.
OF course. the cure that makes
you well makes your husband sick.
His only antidcte is jail.
A change of climate will help

yer doesn't know which climate ne

One guy sent his wife to a heart
specialist and the doctor advised
her to get a divorce. When she
got the divorce and didn't ask for
alimony he sent her to an alienist
and had her head examined.
This specialist found she was
out Of her mind. Now she's de-
handing fifty dollars week from
her husband which shows that
she's back to normal again.
A woman who got a prescrip-
ton for a divorce from her hus-
hand went back to the same doc
tor two years later and asked him
TO write her out another one. She
eaid she had had relapse,
The doctor took all the blame.
He admitted he forgot TO vacci-
nate her.
Marriage is a disease that the
best physicians in the world can't
cure. - Husbands are just like
colds, no matter how cautious some
women are. they usually get a
new one every year.

Lewis IL considered by mat ex.-
perts as one of the strongest and
toughest wrestIers in the sport. His
famous deadlock has taken the fight
cut of more opponents than any
other hold known to the mat game.
II he should once get Jacks head
In his grip IL is likely that he would
secure at least one fall out of the
champion fighter. However. Lewis
would find the problem of getting
his arm around Dempsey's head a
much more difficult job than i'm
agined by experts.
Dempsey Is not quite so hefty
0s Lewis wrestling rivals. The
champion tips the beam at ap-
proximately 200 pounds.
When IN trim for a championship
battle Jack would weigh about 100
pounds. Lewis wrestles best at 225
pounds He has wrestled at less,
but when at the former weight he
may be said to have his full
strength. This would give the
weight advantage to Lewis.
However, the advantage Lewis
would have in weight would be dis
counted by Dempsey's speed and
agility. Jack is cat-like in the
ring. Lewis would find the task of
getting grip on one of Dempsey's
arms far more difficult than any
he had experienced in his mat ca
peer. Many ring critics contend
that Lewis would be lucky to put a
hand on Dempsey, let alone get him
firm enough in his arms to pin his
shoulders to the mat
These ring critics figure that
while Lewis would be reaching for
o hold Dempsey would be putting

 VIEWS ON ASSESSMENT
 WORK REQUIREMENTS

by Mir. Steward is in substance as follows:
 Under the Act of 1912 is claim forfeited if the work is not com pleted within the year, or isthe Act of 1907 modified so that the claim mag be held if work is resumed be- fore the relocation though not com pleted within the year?
 Does the Act of 1921 affect the Act of 1912 so as to change the period within which the work must be done? If it does when must the first work be done under Section 1 of the Act of 1912? Must 1t be done within the calendar year in which the claim was located? Must i. be done within 12 months of To- cation? Or must if be done before July 1. next after location? In other words, does the Act of 1921 apply to any other work required than that required by Section 2324 Revised Statutes, or does it also ap- ply to the work required by the Act of 1912 though not required by the older sections of the Revised Sta tues?
 If the first work required by Sec tion 1 of the Act of 1912 is not done before the time for performing t expires is the claim forfeited or may the locator "resume?"

Reply of Department.

Dr. Bain forwarded the corre- spondence to the Department and Assistant Secretary Kinney. under date of February 5. last. gave it's interpretation of the Acts in ques- tion as follows in part:
 "I do not deem it essential at this time to submit the matter to the Department of Justice for an opfn- ion. No concrete case ispresented and any opinion expressed would be advisory only. In general it may be said that the question with respect to the due performance of assessment work is one which in voles the right of possession be- tween litigation claimants in the courts having jurisdiction.
 "In substance the questions sub mitted are whether the resumption of work will protect a placer claim located under the Alaska placer act of 1912. and whether the act of 1921 changed the assessment per iod for such placer claims.
 "The Act of March 2. 1907. GA Stat. 124S). amended the laws governing claims in Alaska and ex- pressly provided that upon failure of the owner of any cladm to comply with the provisions of the Act as to the performa of work and inn provements such claim shall be- come forfeited and open to location by others as if no location of the same had ever been made Under that Legislation the courts have held that an owner in default can not save his claim by the resump- tion of work prior to a relocation, the statute being in effect self-ex- ecuting with respect to the forfei- ture.

the general law just as it did from the Act of 1880. which is now amended by said Act of 1921. The sie al Act o' 1912 dia not unh"r- take to fix or define the assessment period; that was determined by :he provisions of the Act of 1880 as the calendar year. The main purpose of the Act of 1921 was to change the assessment period from the cal endar to the fiscal year. The re- quirements of the special Act of 1912 with respect to assessment work for the year of location should not be deemed repealed or super seded by the later Act of 1921.
 Referring to the engineers in quArtes. would state that in my opinion an Alaska placer claim To- catsd pursuant to the Act of Aug ust 1. 1912, becomes forfeited for failure to complete the required as- sessment work during the assess- meut period. il accordance with the provisions of of the Act of March 2, 1907: that he resumption of work will not protect or preserve such a location. and that the Act of August

Chritication of number of ques- tfons connected with asseSsm ent work and other phases of the min ing laws is undertaken by the De- partment of the Interior in a letter to Mining Supervisor B. D. Stewart in which the relation of the mining laws of 1907. 1912 and 1921 to each other is discussed. The De partment's viewpoint is outlined by First Assistant Secretary E. C. Fin ney.
 The matter was brought to the attention of the Department by Mir. Stewart in submitting several ques- tions formulated by Attorney Gen eral Rustgard.
 The Act of 1907 provides that failure to complete assessment work by December 31, shall forfeit the claim whether or not it be relocated by others. The Act of August 1 |, 1912, provides $100 worth of work shall be done on every 20 acres of a placer claim each year. includ- ing the year of location" The Act of August 24, 1921. provides that the period within which the work required by Section 2324 R. S. is to be done shall commence July 1.

Specifically it required assess ment work during each year. in- cluding the year of location. The calendar year then constituted the assessment year. There was no purpose or intent to repeal the re- quarement relating to assessment work for the year of location.
 "Tt dS my opinion that upon an Alaskan placer claim located during the year 1920, the requisite annual work completed on or before July 1, 1921. was effective to preserve the claim (Act of December 31, 1920); that upon such claim located dur ing the year 1921 and during 1922. prior to noon of July l, 1922, as- sessment work completed before 12 o'clock meridian, July 1, 1922. was fully effective, and that as to Alas ka placer claims located thereafter, first annual work must be perform ed prior to noon of July succeed ing the date of location.
