YUCAT AN MAY.
PLACE BAN ON
DIVORCES
Political Battle Threatens
to Wreck Lucrative
Business.

A political battle. which may prove
the ruin of the notorious Yucatan d.
vorce mill, Is brewing.
The place where divorces may be
obtained in 80 days or less, at cost
Of 5000, with or without the wife's
consent. may exist no more.
The stream of hundreds Of Amer
leans. seeking a quick and painless
divorce, may be abruptly checked, and
divorce lawyers and interpreters mag
have to seek other channels for a liy-
ing.
For q warm fight over the COVER
norship Of Yucatan. between the So
cialist candidate. at present ambas-
sador of Mexico to Brazil, Alvaro
Tore Diaz del Castillo. and the other
candidate who is supported by the
present Governor Iturrealde, is com.
ing up. The elections will be heldsin
November.
SOCIALISTS IN POWER.
Governor Iturrealde, elected on a
Socialist ticket passed through San
Antonio a few months ago. he com.
mented the divorce mill. Mr.. Diaz del
Castillo. on his stop-over in San An
tonic a few days ago, said he would
try to abolish the divorce mill.
Mr.. Diaz de Castillo was accom-
panied by the president of the Yuca'
tan Socialist party and other high Of
ficers. The present Brazilian ambas-
sador has the support OF the Social
lists, this being 10000 votes out Of u
possible $1,000. All seemed nice.
Z But now word ha5 been received
that the present governor, 1turrealde,
will support another candidate. This
means a split in the Socialist ranks.
Incidentally, it means a diversity OF
opinion on various Yucatan institu-
tions, one being the divorce mill,
which was first introduced by Cover
nor Carrillo Puerto just before the
last revolution against Obregon.
POPULAR WITH AMERICANS.
Some United States courts have up
held Yucatan divorces, some have de-
cided them invalid. Once the secretary
of exterior relations of Mexico sent
orders to consulates in the United
States, that divorces should be regard
ed as valid or invalid at the option OF
the American courts.
\, A large stream Of American di.
vorce-seekers have journeyed to Mer-
ida, Yucatan, for the quick and easy
divorces. The majority of divorce
seekers were middle-aged discontinued
men. They did not take their wives
along. The wife's consent was not nee
essary. However, this was not the case
with q woman.
Women were refused entrance into
Yucatan unless they had permission
from parent or guardian. this being
the husband. Female divorce-seekers
were baked.
Now, however, 1t looks as II the
divorce mill may be checked. SO far II
has been good business for Yucatar.
Hotels, interpreters, lawyers, even the
courts have prospered.

Mountain Climbers Fight for Safety in Approaching


Twilight had come when we reached
the top of the chute. A cornice of
white snow leaning against the cliff
offered safe crossing. Along IT |
went with Nern Mason close behind.
Some of the party were afraid of the
snow and hugged into the rocks. One,
at least, must have been careless, for
a shower of loose stones went bound
ing down over the ice.
Looking to watch them go, we
were Mortified to see that Vincent and
the women, for some reason. had not
moved from where we had left them.
Their heads were still sticking above
the rocky point, and the stones were
whiZZing straight for them.
We shouted Wild warnings. The
heads ducked but not enough. A
big fragment shot within a few
inches of Mrs. Whitnalls face. We
went weak in the knees. But it was
over almost before we realized that
it was happening and we were on
our way again.
Another tragedy had been averted-
there were no precious moments of
daylight TO be wasted in regaining our
equilibrium.
WE were on the right side of the
w ice at last; but the cliffs were still
below us. Down them we must go.
That morning / had slipped my
electric fashlight into my pocket,
knowing the possibility of being over
taken by darkness. / now brought
1t forth to light the way. The bat
terry had gone dead. The delicate
instrument had been unable TO stand
the buffeting on the rocks that
strenuous day.
We might have been thought reck-
less as we plunged down the rocks in
the gathering gloom. But the occa-
sion demanded risk. Soon it grew so
dark that l could not see those in Jhs
rear. I knew they were coming only
by the sound of the different voices.
There was no possibility of follow
ing our morning route; for on rocks
one makes no tracks, and we could
not see far enough to recognize points
made familiar in the full light of day.
Nevertheless, we frequently passed
over places that we had climbed over
on the way up. The ridge was but
narrow, at best, and we could not
stay on it and diverge more than a
few feet. one way or another, from
our upward line Of scramble.
We came to A l5-foot chimney. One
wall was smooth: the other offered
slight irregularities for footholds and
handholds. We did not hesitate
Calling warnings, each to the one
behind, down we went, bracing bodies
against the smooth wall, feeling for
holds in the irregular one. 1t was
risky business; but there was no
other way.
If we had had abunda mt daylight we
could have used the rope, working
slowly and surely; but we now had
minutes where we should have had
hours. There was not time 10 tie
knots and pay out a life line. Every
man must be sufficient unto himself.
All got down the chimney without
accident. A few seconds later | came
suddenly on to an enormous granite
slab, six or eight feet in width, lying
at steep inclination. The outer
edge overhung the northern precipiCe
and there was a straight drop of a
| thousand feet or so which the dark
ness did not make any more cheerful.
We could have gone TO the foot of
| the mountain in one quick jump, and
| our troubles would have been over;
but we should have been on the wrong
| side of the mountain when we lit, SO

Origin of the Moon.
THE earth is the parent of the mo

HE earth is the parent of the moon
in more than a poetic sense. in
the opinion of DR.. r. H. Rastan lee
turer in economic geology at the Uni
versity Of Cambridge, who recently
announced a theory that our satellite
is made of material that was once
part Of the earths crust.
DIR. Pastall's theory, however, diff
fers from that of Sir George Darwin
and others who have previously made
similar suggestions, for he thinks that
a layer of the earth'S crust, about IL
miles thick and covering about two
thirds of its total area, was peeled of
by the attraction of the sun This
tidal action of the sun was effective
while the crust was still in a plastic
state, and the moons own gravita-
tional attraction caused it to roll up
into ball of the form that we now
see in the sky. The crustaI area left
on the earth formed the continents.
This theory also accounts for the
fact that. while, according to gener-
ally accepted ideas, ma Sses of lighter.
density such as make up the earthly
continents should cover the entire
surface Of the globe. they actually
cover only about a third, the miss
ing two-thirds consisting of the moon.
Mea surements OF the moons density
by its effect on the earth show that
1t is about three and half times as
heavy as an equal volume of water.
This is more dense than the average
for the continental land masses, but
DR.. Rastan assumes that at the time
of the disruption some of the heavier
underlying material was also torn
away.
The new theory also fits in with
the ideas recently set forth by a Ger
man geologist, Prof. Alfred NVengener.
who believes the American continent
was originally united with Europe and
Africa. and that it fioated away TO its
present place. This would not have
been possible, so long as the entire
earth was covered with such a crust,
but after the moon had been torn
away 1t was possible for the conti-
nents TO separate from their long en-
brace.

the others could not pass me they

Finally l succeeded in wrenchfng
my heel free. 1t was now thoroughly
dark, and we were perhaps travelling
as much by instinct as by anything
else.
Presently we came 10 another oh
stacle we had climbed going up. This
was an almost straight granite face
with a sharp upper edge. BY letting
ourselves down to the end of our
arms we could just place our feet
firmly on a fourinch ledge, below
which we could secure a footing on
the sloping rocks.
We were now past the more pre-
cipitous part of the cleaNer: but there
still remained a tumble of granite
blocks and bowlders lying at pre-
cariously steep angle. Calls sent
forth into the darkness revealed the
fact that Vincent and the women were
short distance to our right. They
seemed to have made very slow prog
ress. The two parties conyerged TO-
ward each other and finally came to-
gether at the foot of the steep slope.
