LAW CANNOT MAKE
HAPPY MARRIAGES

Temporary marriage as a panacea
for the divorce evil IS not feasible.
for the reason that the law could
not be expected TO do that which
must Of necessity finally rest with
the individual.
Under the Mosaic law, a man
was allowed as many wives as he
might be able TO support, but thosa
countries that still permit polygamy
are OF little or no account in the
worlds affairs today.
For equality OF the sexes. the
homogeneous marriage is the only
one possible. and any system such
as temporary marriage counten-
aneed by law. must inevitably place
the woman at such a DISADVANTAGE
that this would be retrograde step
in our civilization and progress.
The powerful influence that tho
United States yields in the world
today can be partly attributed to
the high place that her womanhood
occupies in her social and economic

STATE
CAPITAL
Unable To Match School Funds.

Because the State Board Of Educa-
ton was unable to match dollar for
dollar last year certain Federal funds
appropriated to pay salaries Of teach
ers in agricultural, home economics
and Industrial courses throughout the
State, $16,182 reverted to the Federal
Treasury. This was on the basis Of a
total appropriation from the Federal
Government of $61,7S631.
The State Board of Education was
able to match $4,000, although more
than $4,000 was used. Local funds
in the counties were used to match
some of the remainder of the Federal
allotment. This raised the total so
that only $16,1S2 was unused.
This year the appropriation will be
s6S,625. In 1921 it was $54,911.47.
This money is provided every year
by the Federal Board of Vocational
Education, according to ]. d. Carey,
director vocational education in Mary
land, and is apportioned to the States
on basis of population. 1t must be
matched by State appropriation, how
ever, before it can be used and every
dollar unmatched is returned to the
Federal Treasury.
Mr.. Carey said steps would be taken
this year to obtain larger State ap-
preparation.
Mr.. Carey is planning an extension
and elaboration Of the present voca-
tional education system throughout
Maryland. He will present his pro-
gram to Albert S. Cook, State Super
intendent of Education.

State Decides Not To Buy Fort
Armistead Property.

Acting on the recommendation of
Brig.-Gen. Milton A. Reckord, COM
mander of the Maryland National
Guard, detailed by Governor Richie
to make an investigation and report,
the State Board of Public Works has
advised the Federal War Department
that the State of Maryland does not
desire to purchase the Fort Armistead
reservation, comprising about As acres.
at Hawkins Point
By recent act of Congress the War
Department was authorized to sell
such military reservations as it has no
further use for, provided that the
respective States be given the first
right to purchase. Fort Armistead is
one of these reservations, the War De-
partment's valuation being about $22-
600.
General Reckord wrote: 81 made a
personal investigation of the reserva-
ton and found it to be in most dilap-
idated condition, all guns and material
having been dismantled and practical
ly everything worthwhile removed. In
my opinion the only way for the State
to consider this proposition is for the
Federal Government to deed the prop
erty without cost, to the State of
Maryland"
