BOSTON LAWYER. TO HAVE VOTE
 ON PREPARATIONS.
Thomas Nelson Perkins Unanimously Elected
 To Commission
Rx JOHN O'BRIENl

PARIS, Oct. 10.-Thoms Nelson Perkins, a prominent attorney of Bos- ton, has been appointed American rep resentative on the reparations commis- sion and thus another American has entered the European scene as an im- portant ahbiter of the reparation's problem.
 The position to be assumed by Per kins was provided for by the London agreement among the allies for apply ing the experts plan. The post is a unique one. Perkins will represent no government, but on all questions relat- ing to the Dawes plan he will have voting power, and an official status with the reparation's commission.
 His Right To Vote
 The London accord contains the fol- lowing provision: When the repara- tions commission is deliberating on any point relating to the report (the Dawes report), citizen of the United States of America shall take part in the dis cussion and shall vote."
 The real reason for providing the position was to obtain the services of an American on the commission, be- cause the United States government so far has refused to be represented of- ficially.
 The importance of Perkins position will rank along side that of the agent general for reparations payments. De- spite the broad powers given the agent general, he will be responsible in the last analysis to the reparations com mission. Moreover, as Perkins will be unfettered by official restrictions of any government, he will be able to act as a sort of representative of all the publics concerned in the Dawes plan.
 Could Publish Views
 If some situation developed in the reparations commission on which Per kins believed the peoples of the world should be informed, or which he thought was a bad influence to a just settle ment of separations problem, he could make public his views with a frank ness which would be forbidden another member of the commission because of restraining governmental influence.
 Perkins was appointed by unanmious vote of the separations commission. The London agreement provides that he hold office for i've years. The important pro- vision is made, however, that should the United States become represented officially on the commission, any Amer ican holding the extra-official post would cease to hold office and no sim liar appointment would be made so long as the United States had an of ficial delegate.

JUDGE SAYS LACK OF
 THRIFT CAUSES DIVORCES
Salesmen, Plumbers, Painters. Con tractors. Merchants, Printers
 and Barbers Lead the List

Los Angeles, Feb. Slack of thrift has been the chiefs cause of recent divorces here, according to statistics prepared by Judge Ralph H. Clock of the superior court, covering about 1000 divorce cases.
 Tn q number of cases" said Judge Clock. the married couple lived to- gether less than one day, while the greatest length of time that any cou- pie lived together and then sought divorce was 39 years.
 ''Salesmen lead the comparative total of unfaithful husbands. ten per cent of the defendants in such divorce actions being of that occupation. Next in order were contractors, mer- chants. plumbers painters and print CTS, with few barbers. Strange to say, the list includes no attorneys--in fact, few professional men and women.
 If the idea of thrift and home awnings is to be incalculated in the minds of the American people it should be taught in the schools. Then there will be less inclination to rush to the divorce court on the slightest preteAt"

England Reports Lowest
 Death Rate on Record

London, Feb. S.-Sir Walter Kin near, controller of the National Health Insurance department, is rather op- timistic about the health of the peo- pie of Great Britain.
 In a recent speech Sir Walter said that despite the fact that during the last few years they had been passing through the greatest wave of depres- sion the country had known since the Napoleonic era, the health of the peo- pie was steadily improving. Last year he added, the death rate was the lowest on record and the infant mortality rate was about one half of that of t5 to % years ago, It was a cheering fact to remember, the speak CT concluded, that a child born today had an expectation of life i2 years longer than had his grandfather.

NAVAL BUILDING
 PLAN ID BE HURRIED
France Desires Quick Action in Armament Reduction Program

Paris. Feb. s.-When France con- pletes the reduction of the first sec ton of her naval program. elaborated in conformity with the Washington disarmament agreement the fleet of the republic will consist of nine battle- ships, 14 cruisers, 60 torpedo boats and destroyers, and 64 submarines. This will be done by the spring of 1928.
 Of the nine battleships. however, two are now obsolete and arc not even today carried in the parliamentary re- ports as effective weapons of offense. Six of the 14 cruisers will have passed the age limit. and 17 torpedo boats and destroyers are admitted by naval experts to Dc unequal to the task that would be allotted to them in present naval warfare. Twenty of the sub marines which saw service during the late war. according to parliamentary report would be useless.
 Thus France could bring into line for effective naval operations seven battleships, eight cruisers, 43 torpedo boats and destroyers and 40 sub marines.
 Minister of Marine Flaminius Raj berti, expressing his conviction that such a reduced fleet would be unable to ensure the security of Frances naval frontiers and the liberty of it's naval lines of communications, recent ly introduced bill in the chamber. asking authorization to proceed i'm mediately to work on the second sec ton of the naval program, as agreed upon at Washington.
 The bill provides for the construc- ton of six cruisers of 10000 tons; Is destroyers of 2,4oo tons: 2S torpedo

Seismologist Says Quakes
 / May Become More Violent

| London, Feb. s--The earth is in a continual state of unrest. internally as well as on the surface. says Professor II. H, Turner of the London Training college. Tn a recent lecture he de- clared that almost every day an earth quake occurred somewhere, and often three or four took place. These auakes seemed to be getting more frequent and 1t Is still question with experts whether the worst had been passed or is still to come.
 Commenting on the accuracy in our times of the science of seismology, the professor said that modern methods of recording had proved that what has hitherto, been, written on the seismo- graphs as interior rnmblings are in reality earthquakes so far down in tho earth that the crust is not broken or disturbed.
