Providence, r l., Jan. 18.--Rhode
Island, small as it is, seems ready
to back any state off the map as the
divorce-scekers' paradise.
1t has already established itself IN
disputably as the Reno Of the East.
And now it is attracting large num-
Der OF western stage and film folk,
bent on an easy divorce.
Minta Durfce, wife Of "Fatty" Ar
buckle, got her divorce here recently.
So did Mrs. Lowell Sherman, wife OF
the stage and screen star.
Pearl White is reported to have
established residence here, although
her representatives say she is now
in Paris.
In the first four days of the new
session Of the Superior Court, l6l
petitions for divorce were heard. of
which l43 were granted Immediate
ly and Is were held up for later de-
cision.
Among the latter was the case OF
Nina Wilcox Putnam, noted author
whose petition for divorce from Rob
ert J. Sanderson, was first granted
and then vacated, when charges were
made that she hadn't been a resident
of the state for the required two
years.
Divorce Easy
1t was the spotlight of publicit!

Record Number to Play Game
Under League Plan

Sixteen basketball teams will com
prise the high school league being
worked out by Edgar Houser, athle-
tic coach. When the high school lea
que is under way more than l25 boys
will be playing basketball and every
10. II tie high school who desires
TO play may do so. This is believed
TO be a record number of high school
athletes in one school partici pating
in basketball.
There will be ten teams in one lea
que and six in another in addition
to the regular first squad Of the
high sch ool There will be distinct
class teams among the number, and
other teams will be picked without
reference to classes.
Development Of the younger play

their own affairs, often outside the
state. Usually the lawyers word is
taken for the residence Of his client.
And the whole thing is a simple,
painless process--and very lucrative
for the lawyer"
State officials, court justices and
leading lawyers in this city shrug
their shoulders when asked about
the ring.
"There have been intimations Of a
crooked ring trying to put over easy
Divorces says Superior Court JUS
tice Chester W. Barrows, who heard
the Nina Wilcox Putnam case. But
there has been nothing more"
"If ever these limitations crystal
ize, this court will be one Of the
first to take action. The difficulties
that arise in this state are the diff
culties that arise in any state. If a
person is going to be crooked in his
dealings. he probably can beat any
law in the land.
perhaps the grounds for divorce
are more numerous in Rhode Island
than in most other states. And
maybe that's why divorce here is
supposed to be easier" So
Uniform Law Needed
Would uniform divorce law
throughout the country help remedy
the situation?
"Of course it would" Justice Bar
rows went on. "But think that
such law would be difficult to enact
For the causes of divorce are so diff.
ferent in so many states that il
seems almost impossible to get all
states to agree on one law.
"Look at South Carolina without
any grounds for divorce at ALL"
H. l.. Carpenter, attorney genera
Of the state, believes that part Of
the laxity is due to the courts.
"The courts" he says, "do not
scrutinize cases thoroughly enough
They should be more rigid in deter
mining the residence period.

among them were the Mrs. Arbuekle
and the Lowell Sherman cases.
"Sometimes I have handled 20 Of

II do not think that the divorce
law is any more lax in Rhode Islane
than it is in most other states.
Sometimes, the calendar seem!
crowded with such actions. But thai
is because the court lets the case:

"As for the talk. about a Ring

the equipment of their industries as
they have done in the past year.
There is no lack of work to be done.
The chief occupation of the Amer
ican people is that of supplying their
own wants, but that their foreign
trade is of a stable character the
sustained exports of the last two
years have shown. Our trade out
side of Europe is growing. The bal
ance between agriculture and the
other industries is in the way of be-
ing restored, and if we will be sat-
isfed with steady business. without
a boom, there is good reason to ex-
pect that our hopes will be grati6ed
in 1924.
The Industrial Equilibrium
The features of the present situa-
ton which are unsatisfactory are all
due to disturbance of the industrial
equilibrium.
The tire industry for example has
been suffering from over-expansion.
Fundamentally. the industry is in a
strong position, for the number of
automobiles in use has been rapidly
increasing, but the tire business has
been overstimulated by its own pros
perity. It suffered in the general
slump OF 1921, but the unfavorable
conditions of late are due to its oyer
development The situation affords
an illustration of the industrial
troubles for which the various
branches of industry are themselves
responsible, and which can be REM
edied by themselves alone.
The copper-producing industry has
been in an unsatisfactory state in the
last halt of the year, with an outpus
enough over the demand to weigh
down the market. One reasos e.
this j. that while consumption In t..
United States is large, world martels
do not take what they would if ~

going on Another reason il sSaa
increasing quantities of coppar hxvs
been coming at low cost from new
o9e bodies, upon which grea: srsse
of capital have been expended, ~
this competition y felt by the high
cost producers. The first Of taleas

The oil Industry has been <epress-
ed by ar extraordinary flow from
newly discovered pools. It is char
actrristic Of this industry that pro
duction and consumption are seldom
closely balanced. The latter steadily
increases while the former is affect
ed by the discovery and ezhaustiee'
of new fields OF supply,
The leather industry is another II
which demand and supply are MOI
naturally co-ordinated, because hides,
the raw material, are by-product,
not produced independently. :. Cattle
have been forced on the market in
the last four years faster than hides
were needed and prices have been
depressed; another case of disturbed
equilibrium,

the effects of over-development,
brought about by over-stimulation,
resulting in part from heavy war de-
mands but more from wage disputes
and repeated suspension of opera
tons. The effect of these suspen-
sions has been to create artificial
shortages and to concentrate de-
mands within short periods of time,
thus offering inducements for the
opening of new mines and attracting
more workers to the industry than
can have continuous employment in
it. AS a result wages are based upon
the expectation of large amount of
idle time. and coal is made unreason-
ably dear to the industries and all
consumers. It is another case Of dis
turbed equilibrium.
The wheat-producing industry was
very much disturbed by the war.
Previously. an important part of the
supplies received by importing coun-
tries came from Russia and the
Balkan countries; the war cut of
these supplies, which greatly stimu-
lated production in other countries,
notably the United States and Cam
ada. Since the war grain production
has recovered all over Europe, ana
Russia has reappeared as an export
er, with the result that there is an
over-supply of wheat. The United
States has reduced its acreage in
some degree, but not to the pre-wax
area, while Canada and Argentina
are producing much more than here
tofore. This is a case where pro
duction was increased to meet an
emergency and the emergency hav-
:e9 passed it should be accordingly
<zsaseed.
Cotton Goods Industry
The cotton zaods industry has been
1is+mbed by "A ;nAuens< operating

WHICH CONSUMERS arc SCCuStOluCu.
The normal equilibrium between the
raw material and cloth, and between
cotton goods and other commodi-
ties is disturbed and affects the IN
dustry unfavorably. Although cotton
brings high price, the growers are
receiving it upon a small yield grown
sver large acreage at high cost,
and the benefits of the high price are
very unequally distributed over diff
fsrent localities. Y
Wool is usually Chased as an agri-
cultural product, although only a
relatively small portion Of the world
supplies is produced on farms. The
number of sheep in all countries has
been largely reduced and the wool
situation is unbalanced BY reason of
short supplies. As in the case of
cotton there Is nothing that consum-
ers can do but pay the rising prices,
or do without, until supply and de-
mand come into equilibfism.

but agree that the same standard which you require for the Twentieth district will apply 10 all the congress sional districts in the city. so that the voters will have no difficulty in choos- ing their representative.
 In reply 10 your inquiry as to whom shall support for president of the United States, beg to state that the platform adopted by the Conference Tor Progressive Political Action con- tdins an economic and political pro- gram which comes nearer fitting our present time and conditions than any platform presented 10 the voters of this country since 1912, when the late Theodore Roosevelt set the example Of righteousness rather than regular ity. l shall therefore support the C. r.

LA GUARDIA BOLTS
 REPUBLICAN FOLD
Comes Out Formally in Behalf Of
 La Toilette

New York. Aug ti.--F. IT. la Guardia formally withdrew from the
 republican party yesterday and an
 nonnced himself follower of La Toilette.
 The reasons he gave for leaving the
 party that frequently put him in of
 flee were that ne would not sacrifice
 his principles for renomination, that
 he did not like the republican na- tional platform and that he did ap- prove the La Toilette Wheeler plat form.
 Mir. Lac uardia's action has been ex- pected. He has more than once shown determination to kick over the organization traces and when he last returned from Washington he refused to say he would run again as a republican, although he made it clear that he would run. He states his present position in letter 10 Samuel s, koenig, chairman Of the republican county committee, with whom, it appears, he has been con- ferrinG regarding his renomination. His letter follows:
 Hon. Samuel S. kocnig, chairman, Re-
 publican Candidate Committee. My dear Mr. Charman
 In our talk u few days ago you in dicated that my candidacy for con- gress on the republican ticket would depend on my compliance with ccr- tain minimum requirements. Desirable and comfortable as party nomina- tiop may ,o I roppnt cacriGro ,>r;r, cipe for the sake Of a party nomina- tion or anything else.
 During all of my time in the house 1 worked hard and voted according 10 my best judgment, and in a manner which l believed represented the wishes of the people of my district. The platform of the republican party as adopted at Cleveland makes no ap- peal to the hope of'th&people whom l represent. l cannot conscientiously pledge myself to support that plat form and to limit my legislative ac- tivities within the narrow confines of ! that document. |
 You are correct when you say that l on many of the important bills that | came before the house, such as sol diers' boius, immigration, the Mellon aX plan, postal salary increase, pro Cape Cod Canal, Henry Ford md Muscle Shoals, l did not support he reactionary attitude Of the repub- ican majority. On these issues I am willing to go before the people Of my district.
 If honest independence of action in he fulfillment of a legislators duty n his representative capacity 6isqual- ties candidate and prevents his re- nomination., on that too l am ready 0 go before the people of the Twen- ieth congressional district.
 Of course, ] shall hold the rcpubli- an candidate for congress in that nd Tn every district of the City of Jew York strictly 10 the republican arty's platform and shall dare them 0 say they advocate and support hose administrative measures which fought and voted against in the last ession.
