DIVORCE IS MANS
WEAPON AGAINST,
Us, WOMAN SAYS
Newspaper Gets Brazilian
Attitude on Legal
Separations.
BU United Press


RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. s.
Correio Da Mania, a Rio De Jane1ro
morning newspaper, has set out to
discover the Brazilian attitude to-
ward the divorce question, and Is
publishing a series of interviews OBJ
tanned from people In all walks Of
life, seeking the opinions Of the most
representative figures in Brazilian
science, art, letters, industry, COM
MERGE, finance, government, religion
and the working classes.
According to Senior Graca Aranha,
futurist, diplomat, minister plenipo-
tenciary and romanticist, the ques-
ton Of divorce does not exist for the
true modern spirit.
1.-THE marriage contract, like all
other associations, is based on the de-
sire Of the associated parties" the
futurist declared. Marriage is in
accord with two wills. When the
desire to persist in the marriage
union ceases to exist, the union
should be considered extinct. To pre-
vent those in one society from form
ing another society is an attempt
against human liberty; 1nconceivable
to the modern spirit"
Taking exception to the allegations
of divorce critics who declare that
the institution is an incentive to i'm
morality in Brazil, ST.. Aranha asked
whether the peohles of nations where
divorce is banned could claim to be
morally better than the peoples
among whom divorce is practiced
Prof. Miguel Couto, president of
che National Academy of Medicine,
declared that it is an injustice to
prevent two unhappy creatures,
parties to a marriage contract, from

finding happiness in another union.
He defended his view not only from
a moral standpoint but from a scien-
tifc one, pointing out the serious
error of trying to prevent, by law,
natural selection and multiplication.
Laws are not necessary to fortify
the attraction Of sex, for it will ex-
list by it's own nature. However,
love should bring a sentiment in
comparably more efficient and more
true than friendship; if a marriage
Of love transforms itself into a union
Of friends and is cemented by the
formation of family, its indissolv-
Utility is assured; but If this trans
formation does not occur, all the
laws in the world can not hold the
bond together, and 1t Is best that 1t
be broken"

This habit seems to have two origins. One is the

there is more definite cause. also

British Air Machines for Carrying Troops.

flying machines will carry two engines of $50 horse

They will also carry bombs poisonous gases of various
kinds if desired Extremely interesting and effective

That Japanese machine is for ong-disance 1t

With Europe building the great fighting arplanes,
