THIEF TO FOLLOW
HONEST PROFESSION

An enterprising San Antonio burg
lar is going in for honest labor, if his
last effort can be taken as a sign. He
stole 20 yards of canvas ducking from
W. C. Brundmann, 49, Mission Street.
"He is going to make cotton sacks
for picking" officers advance as a
motive.
But without delving into motives,
the officers are looking for the burg
lars who took:
Three bed sheets from the clothes
line of r. n. Hernandez.
Ten dollars from Mrs. A. Keamer,
302 Villita Street.
A suitcase and eight suits of under
wear from w. II. Burke, 215 South
Pine Street.
And $40 and three pairs Of trousers
from Francisco Rincon, 200 Cameron
Street.

Universal Service staff Correspondent.
MOSCOW, Oct. 12.-Ten minutes is
the time required for n Bolshevik di-
vorce. A new law will come into cf-
feet the first of next year which gives
the husband or wife an immediate
divorce without the consent of the
other party. Formerly when the di-
vorce was contested it was taken to
court instead of being settled at
'Zaks," the special bureau where
marriage contracts are signed and di-
vorcc papers granted.
At "Zaks" the process is extremely
simple. The couple decided on part
ing of the ways, goes to government
building of imposing exterior, walks
up n flight of unswept steps, and INTO
q tiny room partitioned off with
bare pine boards.
THUMP ENDS ROMANCE
This is. 'Zaks." Behind the desk
sits comrade in black tunic, and
long khaki Overcoat, probably inherited
from the army. His closely shaven
head proclaims him n true proletar;an.
In front of his desk is an ancient
easy chair upholstered in crimson felt,
and straight uncushioned one. On
these the petitioners take their seats.
A blank paper is given them to fill
out and sign, there is thump of the
Soviet stamp and their marriage is a
thing of the past.
The grounds on which the divorce is
sought are of little consequence at
"Zaks." 1t may be because one pre-
fers cabbage soup and the other beet
soup. or because the husband beats
his wife or vice versa. 'Zaks" doesn't
bother about that. The important thing
is that they have both decided to
separate.

DIVORCE in 10 MINUTES
MADE POSSIBLE In RUSSIA
By L. KNICKERBOCKER

1--WE can't make people live together
who don't want to-" said Alexander
Afanasievich Kuznetzov. the comradc
in charge of "Zaks." He is judge. at
torney, registrar and peacemakcr MI
in one. This desire to sever the
bonds of matrimony he considers suf-
ficient grounds for granting the di'
vorcc.
A divorce at ''Zaks" costs absolutely
nothing. Even the Soviet stamp is
appended free of charge. Formerly
il cost the applicants 10 kopecks-
about seven and a half cents.
When "Zaks" has to send a con
tested divorce to court, it still costs
the petitioner nothing, but requires
slightly more time. usually taking
obout two weeks. Even in this case
it is not the divorce itself which
causes the delay but the settlement
of DISPUTES about the care of the
children and the division of personal
property.
LOVE IN SPRINGTIME
"Zaks" is busy institution. some
times granting as many as 30 divorces
n day in Moscow. The busiest time
il the autumn, comrade kuznetzov
said, because people make love in the
springtime, marry in the summer and
divorce in the autumn.
"Pretty quick work" the comrade
remarked with a dubious shake of his
head. zoao :.
in Moscow, an average of about six
a day. There were 25.151 marriages
during the year, bringing the mar
riage average to 60 per day. Even
with divorce granted for the asking
there are still ten times as many mar
ria Cos ms divorces in Moscow

SENATORS SHELVE
WORLD COURT PLAN
Committee Discussion Fruit
less-Action This Session
Is Held impossible.

The World Court proposal virtually
was laid on the shelf today by the
Senate foreign relations committee,
50 far as this Congress is concerned.
A two-hour discussion got the
committee nowhere and afterward
Senator Swanson of Virginia, the
ranking Democrat on the committee,
said ne saw no reason for pressing
his membership proposal. as there
was no possibility of action before
March 4.
Several members took the view that
since the Pepper resolution for Amer
lean adherence has been reported to
the Senate further action by the COM
mittee is UNNECESSARY. This resolu-
ton, which would divorce the court
completely from the League of Ma
tions, was approved by the committee
at the last session over the Swanson
resolution for adherence with the
Harding Hughes reservations.
A third proposal has been put for
ward by Senator Wallis, Republican,
Ohio. 1t embodies the Harding
Hughes reservations with additions.

GIVEN TO PRESIDENT
Tentative Draft of Decision Reach.
ed by Conference Submitted
for Approval.

Tentative Legislation for solution Of
the Muscle Shoals problem was laid
before President Coolidge today by
Chairmen Keyes and Mckenzie OF the
Senate and House conference commit
tees, respectively.
The conference committee chairmen
advised the President that 1t would
be possible unless unforeseen difficult
ties arose to complete the conference
agreement on the legislation by the
end of the week. Prior to final ac-
ton, however. the chairmen will be
advised Of the Presidents views.
Holding that the problem of dis
posing of the property eventually
will reach the President, the confer
ence chairman deemed 1t wise to sub
init for his consideration the tenta-
tive agreement worked out on the
basis of the Underwood leasing bill.
Submission of the tentative draft
led the President to call into confer
ence Secretaries Weeks and Hoover,
who, by invitation of the conference
committees, have been consulted in
the effort to formulate, compromise
legislation.

the. report on the school building e

These are: L. Provision that where
punishment is by fine only. the jury
shall consist of s instead of IL jurors.
.. Provision that trucks of more
than one ton capacity and passenger
vehicles carrying more than 10 per-

ing impounding.
4. Provision as written into the
Gibson bill covering the deposit of
collateral.
). Curtailing the powers granted
the director of traffic to prescribe

Two proposed amendments were
rejected. These were:
Cd Prohibiting the appointment of
not more than 100 additional police
men in any one fiscal year.
CD Relieving first offenders from
Jail sentence for reckless driving.
1t was the unanimous agreement of
the committee that this is a splendid
bill, and that nothing must be allow
ed to prevent its passage to meet an
urgent need. but Representative
Thomas l.. Blanton, Democrat, Texas,
reserved right to file a minority re-
port expressing his views on some
features of the bill. He promised,
however not TO oppose or obstruct
passage of this legislation.
When Representative Gibson called
up the school building program for
committee action, Representative
