THAT the limit Of health protcc-

in fact, numerous and convincing in

"A conside ration of the cxpendi-
lures of the state for public health
work during the biennium ending
June 30. 1920, reveals an obvious lack
of correlation Of the agencies devot-
ing their attention to live saving. 1t
is particularly noticeable that the
state board of health, charged by Ian
with the task of guarding the peo-
pie against all diseases receives the
smallest appropriation, whereas othcr
agencies, directing their efforts t.
the suppression of specific diseases,
receive considerably larger sums.
Moreover, it is entirely clear that
an efficient state department OF
health would be available if these
funds were combined"

'23 SIGNS OMNIBUS,
SEERESs DECLARES
Diplomatic Conferences Are
Viewed as Outstanding Fea-
tue by Nine. de TeIeme

PARIS, Jan. 27.-Diplomatic con-
ferences, earthquakes, resounding
divorce case, more diplomatic con-
ferenees-that is the outlook for
the year 1928. according to our
best known seeresses.
Nine. de Teleme, who has sue
ceeded Nine de Theses as world
representatives,, sees something
ominous in the vagaries of the
planet Neptune. presaging dire re-
suits for President Harding's mari
time policy, but she refuses to
go into details.
The eclipse of March II is to- be
accompanied by political event
of the greatest importance which
will cause the downfall of a prom
inent statesman. The August con-
junction" means diplomatic con-
ferences."
There will be extraordinary pro-
ductivity in the theaters, although
a strike of theater men is talked
about as a result of. the govern
ment's project for new taxation.
When Mime. de Teleme was asked
about the fate of the reparations
problem in 1923 she muttered: AN
other diplomatic conference"
When her opinion was requested
about the mysterious explosions Of
coal in stoves throughout France,
the seeresS murmured: "Diplo-
matte conferences" Whatever may
be the value of her other predic-
tons nobody in France doubts the
truth of that one.

Easiest Place
to Get Divorce
Is i'm Yucatan
Separations May Be Had in
'Topsy Turvy" Land Merely
for the Asking.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 27.-Yuca-
tan, the "land Of Topsy Turvy," is
the. home of the picture divorce"
The opposite Of the picture
brides" is found in this Socialist
state of Mexico.
Divorces are given for the asking
by any party, with or without
cause. Children and maintenance
for. wives and property rights are
respected.
The original law provides for six
months residence for foreigners
before divorce could be granted,
but this was believed by the Social
ist officials to be a queer provision
in a Socialist state. which is sup
posed to be international. So the
law was changed and now a for
eigner may acquire a residence for
divorce purposes in one day.
In certain cases divorces can be
obtained by power of attorney given
to another person and pictures of
the parties in question submitted.
Since sail ng to Yucatan is cheap
from the United States and a visit
to that state gives an opportunity
to see the famous ruins Of UxmaI
and Chichen-ItZa, it is, expected that
when the law becomes generally
known, Reno and other divorce col
onies will suffer heavily.
However, with all the liberalities
Of the divorce laws, not twelve di-
vorces were granted during the past
year.
Those going to Yucatan are ad-
Vised to take along a red card.

Capital Famous
Throughout u. S. !,
For Seminaries
Some of Best and Largest
Girls SchooIssin Country
Located Here.

The best way to still whatever
doubts one may. have as to the pre-
eminence Of Washington as a semi
nary city is to take a long. leisurely
trip around the United States and
make notes as you go along.
Thousands of parents throughout
the country would consider sending
their daughters to college in no city
other than Washington. In many
cases their mothers went to school
here and SO are able judges of the
excellence of the local institutions
of learning for young women.
The advantages which are cited
by Commissioner of Education John
j. Tigert In the first column Of this
page apply with particular emphasis
to women's colleges.
Close personal contact with ra-
tional affairs has dulled the pointed
sensibilities of native Washington
ians., but, to a stranger, the city is a
Mecca, to be approached with q GER
tain exhilaration overtoned by rev
ereAce for: the pivotal station of the
most important business Of the
United tStates. aY.A.&2@
1t would be. not only superfIuous.
but offensive, to the average Wash
ington intelligence, to take up in
detail the academic excellence Of the
various institutions for women. SUI
perior instructors in every branch Of
the arts and sciences, reasonably
strict discipline and magnificent
buildings combine to make a girls
education in the Nations Capital
one q thesoutstanding events Of her
life.
Aside from these inducements is
Washington itself. During the past
few years, through the activity Of
progressive managers, this city has
come up surprisingly in the musical
world. On almost every concert
afternoon" at the theaters, one may
see the numerous gleeful contingents
from girls schools, trooping down
to the playhouses. The vast ajor-
ity of girls attending school in Wash
ington are music enthusiasts, and
a still greater number enjoy good
drama. That is why the theater
managers never worry about empty
seats at a Saturday matinee.
