DIvORCES ONLY
 25 CTS. IN JAVA

LOS ANGELES, June 12. "Dl- vorce in Java takes half an hour aand costs ~25 cents," says Capt. P. J. De Rooy,. Dutch sea captain, now in Los Angeles, who has sailed and explored among the islands of the East Indies for many years.
 But often," he adds, "25 cents is hard to get. so the economical hus- band simply kills the undesirable wife. Nothing will be said, no ques tions asked all the fuming and scandal of the American divorce suit will be avoided, and the husbands other wives will take notice and swear that in the future they will be the most model and exemplary of helpmates.
 "A man can have all the wives he wants. The first wife is the boss, and is responsible for the smooth working of the domestic ma chinery. If another wife is rebellious she is disposed of, or removed to [ separate home of her own. The mar has everything his own way.
 "To me, the simple life of Javi is infinitely more desirable than tn, hectic whirl of American and Europ can existence. When l retire at the age of fifty, I will not go to Holland, Los Angeles or Paris. A home among the head hunters of New Guinea, or the pearl fishermen of the Java coast will be my refuge. There life has been reduced to the fundamentals of birth, death and marriage"

 However, the strangers don't know this. Those who think they can cut up a little when they meet. the chief had better be careful. The chief says that everybody coming here for the Dempsey-Gibbons fight, July 4th, must walk a chalk line, and that's no Western joke.

LOS ANGELES, June 12.-tBy AS sociated Press) Golf enthusiasts hereabouts are keeping an interested eye on two former tennis champions whose recent achievements on the links give primise of their possible triumphant return to the spotlight of national sports as winners of the highest gold honors.
 They are Maurice McLooughlin, for mer National singles champion, and Miss Mary K. Browne, twice winner of the National women's singles ti tle
 Mclaughlin, ''the Comet" sensa- ton of international play ten years ago, will be remembered to tennis fans throughout the country as the first exponent of the hard-driving fast net game to appear on eastern courts. He has not given up tennis, but says he much prefers golf today.
 In contrast to many others who have come to the front in golf, Me Loughln is essentially professional Iy taught player. His swing resem- bles that of pro rather than that of an amateur, and he has long game that is the envy of many of the Southern California players.
 Mclaughlin has come to the front so fast that his game is still CT ratio, particularly on the green. Now and then he will putt with the coo precision of master. Again he will tighten up and take three puts where he night have taken one.
 Another year. some experts pre- dict, will see Mclaughlin playing game that will warrant his entry in national championship. Today he plays to a four handicap and is ranked as one of Southern Califor- nias mosc promising players.
 Miss Browne has shown such apti- tude for golf that she is already rec ognized as one of the leading play CTS of the Pacific Coast, and there are many who believe that were she to enter a national championship her play would be the sensation of the tourney.
 Three times in the last year she has defeated Miss Doreen kavan- augh, the champion, in tournament play; and Miss Margaret Cameron, who made an excellent showing in the national championship last year. has met defeat at her hands at least once during that time.
 Miss Browne is natural player. When she drives. she settles back on her heels, brings the club back we'll over her shoulder and then hits the ball 220, 230 or even 240 yards. down the fairway. She is said to- be the lonpest woman driver on the, Pacific Coast today.
 Through the fairway her play is good, but it is on the green that she does most of her spectatcular work. She butts quickly. before she has had a chance to lose sight of the line to the cup. When under fire she is particularly dangerous, her long tennis experience apparently !. having given her nerves of steel. Often she has run down fifteen and twenty-foot butts when a match has depended on it.
 Her short game, close observers of her progress say, is her only weak ness, and she is devoting much time to perfecting a pitch to the pin. She has mastered half iron running ap- proach that is deadly in its accu- racy, but says she is anxious to de velop short pitch in which she can have confidence.

It's big job for the guardian of law and order. and he had only one assistant, but the chief gets away with it.

MAURER NINE
ERaHR n Ez -
WILL TRAVEL
Manager Claims Booking
With Elizabeth Caseys for
This Sunday Afternoon

An announcement by jim NJ.
Urbanski Of the Maurer Athletic
Association baseball team is to the
effect that his combination will
travel to Elizabeth on Sunday to
cross bats with the Knights of Co.
lumbus nine Of that place. The
Dublin Glee Club nine is also sched-
uled TO o bats with the Betsy
town Caseys this weekend.
The Maurer combine will not
play on it's home field again this
season because of the inability of
the fans of that section to support
the outfit. The first home game
by Urbanski's team this season was
played two Sundays ago and the
Harrison Hudsons were beaten by
n run Last Saturday the Plaintield
Catholic Club took the measure of
the Maurer outfit on the latter's
home field to the tune of 14-7 score.
One of the Amboy teams will
surely be disappointed this Sunday,
inasmuch as the Caseys will not
engage both the Dublins and the
Maurer outfit. The Elizabeth Jour-
nal this week advertised the Dublin
Glee Club nine as the attraction
carder for the Caseys ballheld this
Sunday afternoon.
Manager Urbanski's nine has play
ed q number of travelling games this
season, and one of the most nota-
BILE victories in Union county, was
scored at the expense of the Gran
ford Athletic Association combine.
