EMIGRATION, N. Y., April '. - David Jones, 31, always in the past a resident of Binghamton, today is man without a country. He can't get into jail
 He has a wife here and two chll- dren: but the"e is no home for him. He has a iail record and suspended sentence of two years in Auburn hang ing over him now; but the police don't want him to come back and occupy one of their cells.
 "He is so heartless that we even don't want to look him up and give him shelter" officials explained. "He abandoned his family once, came back and got a new chance, under suspend ed sentence, and now he has left his wife and children heart broken agaln. Although we have a warrant for nm we aren't going to serve it if we can keep him out of the way. We figure two years in Auburn wouldn't be as hard sentence for him as banish- ment fir )m his own country for life.'
 Binghamton has always been Jones s home. He was born here, was brought up here, went through the grade schools. Therefore officials know that to banish him forever from the haunts he has always known is like casting him off from the world
 That they are right is evidenced by a message he sent one of his friends a few days ago.
 "Tve quit the woman I went away with. I want to get back home. I'd almost as soon take year or so in the hoosegow' as to live alone like this"

CENTENARIAN JUSTICE OF PEACE IS PROUD ALL OF
 HIS MARRIAGES ENDURED

CLINTON, Mo-, April By way of celebrating his birthday William Paul centenarian, took a hike of five miles before breakfast recently, 'just tC give me an appetite" as he put it.
 Paul, who is known throughout this part of the State as Squire" largely because of his 52 years service as justice of the peace, is still in good health at the age of 103. "Squire' Paul purchased his present homestead in 1S45.
 The aged man hears well, loves tc tell stories of the pioneer days, and incidentally, seems to get a great dea of enjoyment from telling that of al the 90 marriage ceremonies he has

Won't Jail Man Who Twice Deserted
 Family Is Held Unworthy of Prison

Jones was indicted by the January Grand Jury for felonious abandon ment of his family. After first plead ing not guilty he changed his story and threw himself on the mercy of the Court.
 The suspended sentence resulted. Justice Leon c. Rhodes telling him that if he would return and leave other women alone and support his family he could keep out of prison.
 For a month he trod a straight path. Then, on February 16, his young wife, Grace Jones, went to the humane officer and said her husband had disappeared again, after having been staging wild drinking parties with another woman.
 Upon her information, Justice Rhodes issued the bench warrant that officials hold now and which they do rot seek to serve.
 As long as he stays under cover no effort to arrest him will be made. The police have asccrtainct: that he left Ringhamton with woman not hls wife, and his message to his friend here discloses that now he is alone and remorseful.
 "We'd rather give him a sentence for life like this than for two years in a comfortable, warm prison,' one Of the attaches of the sheriffs office said recently.
 His wife agrees also He broke her heart when he went away the second time, she told the police when she re- ported the abandonment, and the past she says now, is dead.

sCHOOLMASTER RECOVERS

Arrivals from the Westward re- port that MT. Tait, Government school master at Perry, had re- turned to Chignik from Port Hayden, at which place he had been confined for some time with an attack ot pneumonia, contracted while driving a herd of reindeer to the Boring Sea side of the peninsula. The moving of the herd was necessary on account of the heavy deposit of volcanic ash on the feeding grounds in the vicinity of Pavlof causing sickness among the animals.

PARIS, April 7.-French poole are beginning to be alarmed over the startling increase in the number o1 divorces in the country during the last 40 years, but particularly since the end of the war,
 In 1885 there were only fl di- vorces to every 1000 marriages ir France. In 1913 there were 49 and in 1920 there were TO-
 There was a lull in the divorce market during the war years, but relaxation of the war tension was followed by widespread marital diff ficulties.
 In 1885 there were only 4,123 di- vorces in the whole of France. In 1913 there were 15,372. During the next four war years there were only l5.371 divorces, although there was a great increase in the number Oi marriages.
 The divorce figures for the next four years were as follows: 1918 S,121; 1919, 15,116; 1920, 29,156;
 French law forbds reporting of divorce cases, so the details of mar ital infidelity are never paraded be- fore the public in the French news papers. This fact has led many Americans to make Paris their Gret- ma Green, as has also the provision in French law that cruelty or de- sertion each is sufficient cause tc justify divorce.
 There is no attempt on the part of the French, however, to blame Americans for the increase in the number of French divorces.

 The act is denounced by French people as too theatrical. Carpen- tier will never be able to win his way back into their good graces by such methods, they say
 Parisians are particular about their moving picture films. They object strenuously to small discrep- ancies.
 Recently theatergoers looked with impatient tolerance at picture de- picting a happening of 1795.

 The average French coal miner re- ceives a wage which is only two thirds that required to supply the average French family to four per sons with just the bare essentials of life, according to figures made public by H. Delfosse, secretary of the Miners Federation.

 Georges Clemenceau, the French 'Tiger," since his return from his American tour, has been working day after day on his "reminiscences.
 Every morning the aged states man sits alone in his home meditat- ing and jotting down notes.
 From nine until 1 o'clock every day he works with a secretary, put ting his "reminiscences in writing.
 The memoirs are not expected to appear for some time. Friends of the "Tigers' point out that he is not interested in the money he may be able to accumulate through their sale, but only in making absolutely clear his position in all government al affairs, dating back as far as 1870.
