In some respects, DR.. Stresse-
mann, Germany's new chancellor, is
more defiant of the French than
his predecessor, Herr Cuuo.
Cuno wasn't paying any cash to
France, on account Ct her repara-
ton claims, but he was turning over
considerable quantities of manufac-
tured goods and raw materials.
Stressemann has cut off even this
tribute.
All that Germany's got, he says,
she needs right at home.

The Reason Back of Divorce

The latest report the divorce evil in this country
shows that in the 20 years ending in 1906 nation
granted one divorce for every 10 marriages England
granted for every AO6 Italy for every 321 Scot
land one for every lS7, Austria for every 152,
Australia for every SO. etc The large country
having higher divorce than the United States was
Japan, with one for every four marriages.
Right on the heels of this showing, the Methodist
Episcopal Sunday school board after long and careful
investigation of the matter of divorce has set out its
views If fewer of the unfit it says were permitted
to marry; if marriage than bit of romance
or temporary adventure If standards lifted until
the mistake the exception if society recognized
that the family is divine institution if there were
federal marriage and divorce and remarrage law strictly
enforced: then the stampede to the of domestic
relationships would ben reduced Divorce should not be
made impossible, but very difficult"
There you have it When you seek solution OF the
divorce problem you must go back the beginning-to
marriage. If only could control that-f only the mar
rage relation, with all its big and vital responsibilities
were entered into in the right way at the right time
of life and by the right people, the divorce records would
cease to vex u.s. llladvised marriage is the cause and
divorce the effect One is greater evil than the other

Up the Golden Stairs

America has joined the league of nations the United
States senate nevertheless and Notwithstanding
j. L. Morgan and associated American bankers who get
then money from the American people, joining the
league powers-Brtain, France Italy Belgium Czeeho-
sloNakla, Holland Denmark Norway, Sweden Spain and
Swzerand-in the task of saving Austria.
This Is the first step in the rehabilitation of Central
Europe says Morgan he prepares 10 chip in S25000
600 of $500 900 loan TO the stricken nation.
Now there's no kick against Americas helping rehabi-
sae Central Europe The collapse of Austria would pre-
eiptate another dangerous crisis in Europe which al
ready menaces the world with another war Anything
which lessons the danger of war and promotes world
peace for.
But if work with the league to save Austria,
why can't we work with the league to save the world
including ourselves? Why the clamor when President
Harding suggests our joining the world court?
Does Henry Cabot Lodge, senator from Nahant Mass,
RAISE ms voice against this manner of joining the league?
Loud silence from Nahant. Not Cabotian whiSker stirs
Not protesting gurgle Not even a reservation.
Joining the league to make money and joining the
league to make the world safe from war are obviously
two different things. In the case the profit is in
dollars and cents and goes Wall Street In the other
the profit is in tranquil hearthstones peace and security
and goes to plain folks everywhere
Anyway, we're joining the league-not by the back
door, and not by the side door and not thru the cellar
but up the golden stairs.

TESTS PROVE
Motorists
more fortunate
than they know

To motorists who have been accus-
toned TO paying double prices for oil un-
der the impression that the extra price
bought extra quality, it may come as
shock to learn that the crude oil which is
best adapted to the making of a motor lu-
bricant is obtained right here in the West,
= In California. Furthermore, that Zero
lene, which is made from this selected
Western Naphthenic Base Crude by our
exclusive process of high-vacuurn distilla-
ton, is demonstrably superior to other oils
selling regularly for double its price
Long-haul transportation and high mer-
chandising costs usually account for the
difference in price between Zerolene and
other oils - not quality.
SO more gasoline mileage
The function of lubricant is to reduce
friction and thus increase the effective
power of the engine. The best proof that
Zerolene does this to a superlative degree
is found in the fact that car fabricated with
Zerolcne delivers about SO more gasoline
mileage than when other oils are used.
Zerolene gives correct fabrication at all
operating temperatures. 1t thins down

the reduced bearing clearances, due to the
expansion of the metal, and it thickens again
