husband has refused to kiss her,
accused her of affairs with other
men and contrasted her. to her
disadvantage, with other women.
In short. Friend Robertson seems
to have been anything but
domestic treasure. Evidently the
desire to separate was mutual,
for the husband did not contest
the case. All seemed plain sail

Judges seldom refuse to grant a
decree in uncontested cases. But
amazingly, that was just what
Judge Mahon DID do.

any more. If every Judge in the
United States were like am, this
would stop.
"I am getting old, and I am go
ing to get off this bench pretty
soon. and some young fellow more
in harmony with modern condl-
tions will take my place. But
while I am here l am trying to
hold things as they were 80 years
ago. l don't believe in divorces,
except under conditions Where
people must be separated.
eff l had my way, divorce laws
would be strengthened instead or
weakened"
Which sounds fine and will win
a lot of applause from the other
reaetionaries. but will it work?
Can Judge Mahon, or any other
judge, "hold things as they were
80 years ago?"
No, he can't.
Judge Mahon is sincere in his
fight. He believes certain things
about marriage and if those
things were correct, his stand
would be justified. Judge Mahon
believes that husbands and wives
really loved each other better 80
years ago-that they held mar
riage in greater reverence-that
their outer. loyalty was the sign
of an inner content with wedlock.
He also believes that a blight
has fallen on this fine love and
loyalty-and that too much free
dom has bred discomfort where
there was peace and joy. Natur-
ally. if that were SO. the situation
could be. cured by cnrtailing the
freedom. CLAMP the lid on as it
was clamped on 80 years ago and

STORM ON MARS
By Garrett P. Seryiss

hours, corresponding to a rotation
of the planet through 80 degrees,
The notch began and ended APP
proximately with the time that
He1las was crossing the termira-
tor
This same notch or shadow on
the terninator remained visible
but progressively becoming fainter
on. successive evenings, until 1t
vanished, October 81. 1t was on
the night of it's last appearance
that the observation mentioned
above by Van Biesbroeck at the
Yerkes observatory was made.
Professor chickering's interpre-
tation is that a summer storm
was in progress in the atmos-
phere of Mars, and that it passed
slowly eastward across Hellas
and the adjoining region named
Ausonia, progressing at the rate
of about 200 miles per day, and
moving in all 400 miles. This
would be something like the
march of a cyclonic storm across
the United States, east of the
Mississippi, except that it's rate of
advance was only a third of that
of our storms.
These conclusions are of great
interest because, il confirmed,
they show that Mars surely pos.
sesses at least some of the pri-
mary requisites of planet capa-
BILE Of maintaining inhabitants.
The comparative rarity Of it's at
mosphere and its relative aridity
are matters that nature could
easily adjust to the require
ments of life. Professor Picker
ing makes the picturesque re-
mark concerning the intense
b C k ess of the supposed
shadow, which was noticed by all
observers, that I'VE attribute it
to moistened ground in shadow,
in other words to a continuous
rainstorm which was able to
advance for some reason in these
longitudes beyond the terminator
instead Of being confined to the
night side of the planet. as we
have always believed and stated
heretofore was the case"

MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
Y Helen Rowland

Are You q Moron?
THE newspapers are continually
L giving us intelligence
Tests"
But. dear me. Life. itself, il
full Of Intelligence Tests.
Falling in love, for instance. is
an intelligence test, in which
most OF us register about one
half-of-one-per-cent mental eff
ficiency.
Choosing a wife or a husba nd
is another intelligence test, in
which most women and all men
prove that they need an alienist.
The former never get anything
they want-and the latter never
want anything they can GET.
The Charleston is still another
intelligence test. If you WANT
to dance it, you. are subnormal.
II YOU TRY to dance 1t, you are
a Moron. And il you DO dance
it. you should call in a psyche
analyst.
Cooking "A good dinner. and
serving it all HOT, is the highest
intelligence test whic h any
woman can pass-yet, thousands
of women do pass it every day
of their lives.
But, the greatest intelligence
test OF the age is the peeting
party!
Petting. which has broken out
like a rash, all over the world,
is not an accidental thing. It rs
a result of the low rate OF pres.
ent-day intelligence.
A man may make love Tor
many reasons-sonIetimes because
he really is in love.
But when a man pets" it Is
las ! have said either because he
is TOO stupid to think of anything
else or because the girl is such a
dumb-belI that she wouldn't un'
derstand anything else.
When two heads are perfectly
vacant, they just naturally droop
together. Petting fills the va
cuum!
When man and a girl have
nothing to talk about, they use
their lips for kissing.
An attractive and interesting
girl may occasionally want 10 be
made love to: but she doesn't
have TO pet" in order to hold
mans attention.
An intelligent man may, now
and then. slop over. under
spring moon; but he doesn't have
to be slushy in = order to keep
from boring girl to death.
There is as much difference be-
tween love-making and "petting"
as there is between a game of
Bridge and a game of Casino.
All PETERS have the Casino
players mind-which is the aver
age mind of a 10-year-old child.
When girl can't think, talk,
write. read. cook. dance, sing,

THERE is on the planet Mars
= region, called by terrestrial
astronomers Hellas. after that
land which on the earth once.
marked the center Of the highest
human civilization. The Marian
Hellas lies in the southern
hemisphere of that planet. its
center being 40 degrees south OF
the equator. It is oval in outline
apparently flat as a prairie, and
about a thousand miles across.
Two canals" called (by us),
respectively. the "Peneus' and
the "Alpheus,' intersect one
another in the middle OF EIellas,
forming an equal-armed cross.
NY reason for this description
of q part of the geography Of
the planet Mars is that may
locate with some definiteness the
scene of a reported occurrence
on that distant world which, If
1t has been correctly interpreted,
must tend to reawaken interest
in the long-debated question: lis
Mars q habitable world like the
earth?"
The occurrence referred to is
the appearance OF what seemed
a vast cloud casting shadow
of almost inky blackness, which
was seen over the Marian Hellas
bv prof. w. C. Pickering and his
associate. G.. II. Hamilton, at
Prof, chickering's observatory in
Jamaica, in October, 1924, and a
detailed description Of which has
just been published In Popular
Astronomy.
A similar appearance noted at
the same time by DR.. Van Bies-
brock at the Yerkes observatory
is believed by Prof. Pickering to
have been the identical object
that was studied by himself and
his associate Prof. Pickering
thus describes what they saw:
ION the evening, of October
goth an interesting cloud effect
was noted on the terminator over

animation showed not only d very

notch was it's intense blackness.
