a necessary legal reform, irrespective
of the merits of the question of making
divorce easier or more difficult.

| America.
| A constitutional amendment and rati
fication by the states are necessary
for the passage Of uniform marriage
and divorce law. The Constitution
has nothing to say about marriage and
divorce. Regulation of marriage and
divorce laws belongs to the several
states. So, unless the several states
can be persuaded to make their laws
uniform, the Constitution must be
amended to give congress power to en-
act legislation. Uniformity through
action of state legislatures is appar-
emily hopeless. South Carolina, for in
stance. does not recognize divorce
New York recognizes but one valid
cause for divorce; New Hampshire
recognizes fourteen.
The General Federation has done
more than simply demand that con-
gress submit constitutional amend
ment to the states for ratification. 1t
has prepared a draft Of IL proposed
law. This bill Is the work Of Mrs.
Edward Franklin White, deputy attor-
ney general of Indiana, who is chair
man of the Federation's legislative de-
! partment. Her portrait is given here
with. Mrs. Winter is the General
Federation's president. Senator Cap
per of Kansas Is the mere man who
sponsors the bill in congress. Sena-
tor Capper says Of the bill. among
other things:
For long time l have watched
with alarm the growing marriage and
divorce evil. Divorce laws generally
need reform, but the first and most
vital question is that the laws in all
states should be identical. so I was
glad to Introduce the bill prepared by
the General Federation of Women's
Clubs. At tile. outset ] am not pre-
pared to state that l favor all the
terms of the bill, but 1t is a fair be-
ginning and from 1t we should get a
reasonable. sane and safe nationwide
F, law"
Mrs. White has prepared, in the judg-
ment of many, the best draft of ma
tional marriage and divorce law ever
drawn. 1t Is not probable. however,
even In the event of constitutional
amendment permitting legislation, that
the bill would be passed as. drawn.
Congress, of course. would debate its
provisions at great length, and prob
ably would make many changes. 1t Is

points in Mrs. Whites bill:

s3 tionwide organization that
penetrates every nook and corner of
the land. These women have begun
a campaign for national uniform
marriage and divorce law,
"We indorse the movement for a
national uniform marriage and divorce
law which shall prevent hasty and III
considered marriages, preclude inter-
state e,confusiOn, and insure proper jus
tice to all members Of the family when
divorce Is necessary"
This preliminary statement of pres
ent activities was made by the BIZ
ennial convention of the General
Federation last June at Chautauqua,
N. Y. The Federation's general pur-
pose is '"ro promote all movements
looking toward the betterment of life"
AS to this specific movement, 1t holds
that the stability Of our national fam
lily life is now menaced by the diver
slty, contradiction and inadequacy of
the many state statutes dealing with
the formation and dissolution of mar
riage.
That our American family. life Is so
menaced Is the opinion of many, VIII
liam T. Manning, Episcopal bishop Of
New York, put the situation In nut
shell when he said from the pulpit:.
"The institution Of the family based
In monogamic marriages Is the su-
preme possession that man has won
through all the long ages of his moral
and spiritual progress. 1t Is sim
pie fact that as a nation we are rap
idly abandoning the principle Of mono
gamic marriage. The teaching that
marriage should last only while love
lasts means in plain words the aboli-
ton of marriage and the substitution
of the system Of legalized free love-"
The General Federation Is not the
leader of foriorn hope In the move
ment. 1t will have earnest co-opera-
tIon in many quarters. And all those
committed to the movement agree that
a national uniform marriage and d.
vorce law Is the vital factor In the
situation. From the legal viewpoint
our marriage and divorce laws are a
national scandal. The american Bar

Look at little Buck Murphy's neck
just below the grin, it is. See that tag?
It's fastened to chain that has been
soldered around the three-year-old's
neck; and it bears his name and adj
dress: "Buck Murphy, 2877 Newton
avenue, San Diego"
That is his parents last hope, they
long ago gave up hoping that Buck
could be kept at home. SO far he has
a dozen escapes from the irksome con-
fines of the front yard to his credit,
once clipping with tiny maid of his
neighborhood and once getting a good
three miles away before he was caught
He has hammered, or sawed, or
otherwise broken stronger chains than
this one when one end had been
fastened to post in the yard, but so
far this one has resisted his efforts.
Probably he has discovered that he
cannot hammer it apart with a rock
because his neck is too soft to serve
as an anvil.

OLD TOWN HAS Squirt
Known for Years as Little Town
That Never Grew Up."
Lithopois In Ohio, With Population Of
400, Gets Gift of Memorial Ii
brary and Buzzes With
New Life

Lithopolis, O.-"The Little Town
That Never Grew Up" Lithopolis, iso-
| lated from the ordinary commerce of
| man, without gas or water and so
| financially poor that it is necessary to
pay for electric current by popular
subscription, is buzzing with new life
and hope today.
Its 400 citizens, who long have en-
dured the scorn Of their bigger neigh
Dor, Canal Winchester, which has
schools and other things, are prepar-
ing to return such disparagement in
kind-all because the simple appeal
of their quiet village bridged the gap
of years in the heart of one who
played as a child in the leafy lanes
that surround it. Lithopolis Is pre-
pairing for recognition and a certain
modicum of fame.
The story centers around Mrs.
Mabel Wagnalls-J Jones, New York
author and musician, whose father,
Adam w. Wagnalls, is head Of
New York publishing house. Her
father and mother were born here and
the latter is buried in the Lithopolis
cemetery.
Mrs. Jones is presenting a memorial
library to the people Of Lithopolis and
Bloom township. In addition, she may
finance the erection Of high school,
and has in mind other civic improve
ments.
With her husband, Richard j. Jones,
she has completed a preliminary sur
vey for the library, which will be
known as the Wagnalls Memorial IL
brary, has purchased a tract Of land
on Columbus street here-the only
street-and employed an architect
Present plans call for the dedicatory
address to be made next fall by Edwin
Markham, poet, close friend of both
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones'
In 1903, Mrs. Jones, then Mabel
Wagnalls, was paying her annual sum-
mer visit to Lithopolis. She had read
q magazine story by o. Henry, and
was struck with the beauty of it. She
wrote to o. Henrys publishers, and
the note was forwarded to him. Thus
was started chain of correspondence
between O. Henry and Mabel Wag-
nails.
The erection of the library Is ex-
pected to link closer the part Ohio
played in the unfolding Of o. Henrys
genius.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Aug. 2.-The

nesday and w. II. Teasdale, superin
tendent of the Savannah cotton ex-
change, says a good season is ex
pected.
In discussing the season jIst
closed, Mr.. Teasdale says the fact
that a great deal of the cotton weac
to the mills prevented greater ex-
port movement.
"The foreign shipments were
very good in comparison with the
amount Of cotton received" Nj
Teasdale states. "Of the 454,027
bales received Savannah sent for
foreign destinations, 293,496 bales -
The prices obtaining during the
past year are reported to have been
fairly satisfactory. The highest
price received for middling was Fl

AGED COUPLE GET
5-YEAR SENTENCES
ON ARSON CHARGE

Old age bowed before the stern
hand of the law in Judge w. E.
Thomas emergency division of SUI
perior court Wednesday when Nor
ris Freedburg, age so, and his wife,
Rosa Freedburg, age rs, were SEN
fenced to serve five years each on
the state prison farm following
their conviction on charges of arson
The aged couple presented pa
thetic sight as they walked through
the courtroom to receive sentence.
They were arm in arm, just as they
walked down the aisle in the village
church in theier native Russia years
ago when they took the marriage
vows. They can speak no English
AND did not understand the words
of the judge that sent them to the
prison for perhaps the remainder or
their lives.
Attorneys J. III. Leavitt and Clar-
ence Bell, representing - the Freed
burgs, Immediately filed motion
for a new trial. telling the court
that the sentence virtually meant
life imprisonment and that the frail
health of the couple would make it
practically impossible for them to
live in prison.
The F'reedburgs were convicted OF
setting fire to their combination
store and dwelling house at 1874 Ken
needy street, on the night of July 10.
1t was charged that they attempted
to burn their place to collect the in
surance on a small stock of Agro-
ceries.
The defense set up by the aged
couple was that they knew nothing
whatever about the fire and that they
were at a picture show when it was
discovered. Evidence set up by the
prosecution, however, was to the Ell
feet that the couple were seen huf-
rying away from the building a few
minutes before the fire was noticed.
Judge Thomas, in passing sen
tence. pointed cut the seriousness of
the crime.
You are aliens" he said, land
do not understand the very words
of the court. When this offense
was committed you had been in this
country only a few days; you had
no conception of the laws of our
land; you had no idea of patriotism.
And the very thing that affords pro-
lection is this court of justice.
"You have committed this offense
on the very brink oft he grave. The
jury has found you guilty and has
fixed your sentence. 1t remains for
ME only TO make the judgment of the
jury the sentence Of the court"
