He looked around the edge of a

Welded PROSPERITY

Many married man. in spite of his hlessedness,
signs Tor the days when he always had plenty of
money tie imagines that if he were single, he would
be lar better off financially And he is nearly always
wrong about it.
The treasurer of Cook county, Illinois, which in
cudes Chicago, has been looking into the subject, and
fnds that the bachelors financial superiority doesn't
last long. AT "a he generally has per cent more tax
able property than married man of the same age
But after that, the supposedly harrassed husband
forges ahead. At g. the husbands taxable wealth is
per cent greater than the bachelors At SO, it is IT
per cent greater and at As, 20 per cent greater.
The treasurer does not attempt to explain this sit
uation. But common observation suggests some rea-
sonable explanations Froemost among them, perhaps,
is the fact that the bachelor having less incentive to
effort than the husband and father is less energetic
and makes less money. Marriage is great stimulus
to ambition. second reason is that what money the
bachelor does make, he spends more carelessly The
head of family learns to be thrifty, and and
sats down. part Of his earnings in spite of his heavy
necessary expenses.

Nevada Divorce
Fight to Go to
State High Court
BY United Press Leased Wire

CARSON CITY. Dee. S.-The at
tack on Nevada S divorce law start
ed by Mrs. Emma Z. Confer OF
Hamburg, Pa, several weeks ago,
has been, taken to the state supreme
court. Mrs. Confer has formally
filed petition with the court for
an order to force Judge George
Bartlette of the Reno district court
to reopen the case in which a di-
voree was granted her aged hns-
band, Nathan Confer, wealthy Ham
burg merchant.
Mrs. Confer recently brought suit
in Judge Bartlett S court for an
aunulment of her husband s decree
ON the grounds that he had termin-
ated his residence immediately after
the divorce had been granted.
Judge Bartlett denied the annul-
ment.
Attorneys for Mrs. Confer held
that the law requires the plaintiff
in divorce action not only to have
lived in the state for six months
prior to obtaining the decree but to
give oath that he intends to make
the state his permanent residence.
Judge Bartlett held that Confer
had complied with the law even
though he had left the state.
The ease was regarded as an inn
portant test of Nevada S famous
divorce law under which many peo-
pie, some Of them nationally known,
have obtained divorces.
Legality of all these "out Of
state divorces now depends upon
the supreme court S action.

California Now
Fifth in Union
Tn Business Way

Using the bank elearings of the
nation as IL gauge it is apparent
that California is now easily the
fifth busiest state in the union,
commercially and industrially. In
fact, she is closely pressing Massa-
chusettS for fourth place.
California s total clearings per
day, week and month are exceeded
only by the four great states of
New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois
and Massachusetts in the order
named. Back of her trail 43 other
forward looking eommonwealths, in
Guiding such industrially active
states as Ohio, Michigan, Minneso-
Ia, Indiana and Iowa.
Complications for November pre-
| pared by the California Develop
ment Association show that in that
month five cities of this state had
aggregate bank elearings of
! 81 800, 500, 900. Leaving New York
city out of the reckoning, only
/ three other states exceeded this re-
cord in the last national returns
available, namely for October.
The five leading California cities
with their November clearings
were: san Francisco, $674 100000;
Los Angeles, 1864, ,s21 900; Oakland,
$70,315,4S1; San Diego, $43,263,99
Sacramento, $37, 100 601.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS IN JAPAN

What nation uses most eIectrN lighting IN It's
homes? 1t is something of a shock to Americans to
learn that it is the Japanese. In the United States
80 100000 people live in homes lighted by electricity
and in Japan only 23,0C0,000; but in proportion to
population the Japs ahead of US There are 50
cent of them using electric lights and only 81 yer cent
of u.s. The Germans, next in order lag far behind
This is good thing to remember, in country
which regards the of electricity in any FORM espe
cialy in the form of light as a symbol of human pro-
gress The electric light originated in America. 1t
was first developed ndustrally here. Yet Japan has
taken up this advanced idea, like many Others and
one ahead of her western competitors.
Light means civilization. 1t means comfortable
reading and therefore education. 1t means less eye
strain and therefore better health Fewer Japanese
hereafter will eyeglasses, because they have had
plenty of light in their homes. America, so rich in
water and fuel for the production of electric
current should profit by the Asiatic example 1t is
better to compete in electric lights than in batteshps.

AR TRAEEL

The commecial air service in Great Britain boast
that they have been in operation for five years.
and carried $4,000 passengers 100000 miles, with
only six deaths 1t is good record, yet hardly good
enough as regards safety. Railroad and steamship
lines do considerably better than fatality in about
every 5000 passengers.
Safety, however, is improving right along. The
chances of safe flight much greater than they
in the first year of this experimental traffic.
As for the mileage covered and the Accommodations
furnished the European air service and especially the
British is revelation to Americans. Over here, in
the land of the arplane air transportation by
carriers has hardly begun. The Imperial Airways
alone operated from London, 1860 miles day
and is adding 5000 miles day. There several

The price of air travel over there has been reduced
to cents mile. That should appeal to Americans
In fact, it does They fly when they go abroad. Why
are there no such facilities for them at home?
