SUMMER SOFT
FOR JUDGES
BY MILLER HOLLAND
international News Service

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24.-Be.
cause Of the strange fact that
divorce actions in California fall off
approximately so per cent during
the summer season San Francisco
judges are in rare humor these
days.
'It gives us q chance to get
caught up with our calendars,
they say delightfully."-. ut may only
be the -lulI before the storm but
we'll be all set for the fall rush
when it commences"
1t has long been a puzzle just
why divorces should fall off so
sharply in the summertime.
Spring and fall, according to
Superior Judge Timothy !. F'itz-
patrick of this city are veritable
open seasons for divorce. Every
body seems to be at it then.
But during the winter holiday
season and the summer months
there is a decided slackening, Judge
Fitzpatrick says. The reason for
the winter falling off, according
to Judge Fitzpatrick, is apparently
obvious, because nobody wants to
get showed out in the cold.
There is no such reason to ex.
plain the summer phenomenon.
It might be, Judge Fitzpatrick
believes, that in the summer time
everybody Is feeling good and the
sharp edges of domestic friction
are blunted. Possibly it is the va
cation lure.
And then again. according to the
Judge, who is a good Native Son,
the balmy California summer
weather might have something to
do with 1t.
The pleasant days for the judges.
however, are numbered. Fail viii
be here soon and then the divorce
rush will be on again. The courts
will be literally swamped with men
and women tired of each other
and seeking q way out.

money. The volunteer department
prevented the spread of the flames
to the garage.
Struck by lightning during the
severe electrical storm last night, a
one-story office building at 2 Good
Hope Rd. S. E., burst into flames.
Firemen succeeded in extinguishing
the blaze but not until it had dam
aged the office, burned an automo-
bile and a part of the garage. The
watchman, whose name is not
known to the police, escaped un-
injured.
The building IS owned by the Sarn-

FLORIDA FUND
HERE LAGS

District of Columbia contributions
to the Florida relief fund today
neared $15,500. The largest single
contribution is $4,000 from Secretary
Of the Treasury Andrew w. Mellon.
District contributions yesterday
were the largest since the storm
swept Florida last Saturday. Up to
midnight last night the days dona-
tions totaled $7,229.35.
The local quota has been set at
$4,000 by the District chapter of
the American Red Cross. Largely
because of the failure of Washing
ton people to appreciate the real
seriousness of the situation in
Florida, Red Cross officials said,
contributions so far have not been
as generous as those to the Jap
anese earthquake relief fund.
1t Is hoped that the District will
raise its quota of $50, 900 by Mon
day, Red Cross workers stated, be-
cause Of the urgent need for funds
to aid in stamping out threatened
epidemics in the stricken area.
Housing accommodations also are
urgently needed. A survey made
by Henry M. Baker, Red Cross re-
lief director In SFlorida, shows that
4,700 homes have been completly
destroyed and $3.50 so badly dam
aged as to be unservicable as habi-
tations.
Cleveland has donated 500. 900 to
the national fund; New York has
set it's quota at 100000 and ST.
Louis at 100000, 1t was stated.

LEGION TO DEMAND
MILITARY TRAINING
Commander, in Armistice
Day Speech, Stresses Need
for Adequate Defense.
~ the Associated Press.

OMAHA, Nebr., November 1.-THE
American Legion will always demand
military preparedness as the best
means Of preventing war and will
never permit the military organization
for national defense to fall below the
strength provided by the defense act
Of 1920. Howard r. Savage. national
commander of the Legion. said in an
Armistice day message here.
Conldr. Savage called upon Con.
gress, in the name OF the Legion. to
appropriate sufficient funds to keep
each provision Of the defense plan up
to the standard originally decided
upon. He also denounced persons AND
orga nizations who have attempted 10
abolish or modify military training
schools.

How many of our youth have died
on the enemy's steel because of the
statement 'Therell never be another

Because the Legion asks this. do
not think it is militaristic or Jingo'

TO maintain the peace any more than
the veteran and the Legion.
