when it was signed by the Governo
last week. A number of safety rule
which have long been observed b.
cautious motorists but disregarded b,
others, have been written into tn,
law. Hereafter it will be unlawful to

ride, except from a public con-
veyance.
Hitch" to motor vehicles with
toboggans, sleds, or bicycles.
Coast" cars down grade with

operating his car with due regard
for the safety and rights of others.
1t provides that he must not operate
his car at greater speed than is
reasonable and proper, with due re-
gard to the traffic, but makes oper-
alton of a car above certain speeds
orima facie evidence of reckless driv-
ing. These speeds are.

scured, when passing a school

Il are going to or from school, when
going around curves or on grades
where the driver does not have
clear view 100 feet ahead, when
approaching or crossing a high
way where the driver does not
have clear view 200 feet ahead,
and when going through the
closely built up portions of
municipality, or where traffic is
congested.
Twenty miles an hour in resi-
dence districts, and on streets
where there are traffic officers or
traffic control devices. Munich
palities are permitted to fix
higher speed limit on arterial
highways.
Thirty-five miles an hour under

(By U. S. Department of Agriculture.)

Every lot or field in which hogs
are kept should be supplied with run
ming water, or a system should be in
stalled whereby water is available
whenever they want it. Many hogs
get their supply from a dirty trough
filled once or twice day. This is
inadequate and insanitary.

DISPLAY At Church
WEDDINGS FLAYED
Fashionable Ceremonies VuI-
gar, Trinity Rector Says.
DenounCeS Divorce.

By the Associated Press.
I NEW YORK, July 25.-Assertin9
that the fashionable church wedding
is often vulgar as well as pagan,
Rev. DR.. Caleb r. Stetson. rector OF
Trinity Episcopal Church, writing in
! the year book of Trinity Parish, also
denounces easy divorce as tending
J toward progressive polygamy and
respectable promiscuity."
"Only those who believe in the
Christian ideal of marriage should
have the right to be married IN
church." he writes.
7 1T would strengthen our position
I and contribute to the permanence of
! marriage if the church as whole
! should refuse Christian marriage to
those who are not our people and who
! merely want church wedding or
who like the beauty of our marriage
service Such people should be told
! that they should have a civil marriage.
THE fashionable church wedding is
+ often vulgar as we'll as pagan. The
! church is turned over to florist, who
| does his best to take away every
/ appearance of the Holy place from
! the sanctuary and to advertise the
wealth of the contracting parties.
Urges Ceremonies i'm Halls.
| "Often one hears of such weddings
/ where orchestras are engaged to enter
tain the spectators and crowds gather
in the streets to catch glimpse or
the bride, of whom they know nothing
except that she is rich.
There is no excuse for the use of
the church for such display. 1T were
far better if such weddings took place
in a hall where an adequate entertain
ment could properly be given:
There are many persons who think
and say that when what Is called
slove' has died-as the sort Of love
they mean does die-then man and
wife should separate. What they
mean by love in many cases is simply
sex appeal or a passing whim."
Warnings that increase in divorce Is
threatening a breakdown in family
life, DR.. Stetson said that propaganda
for freer divorce might bring this
country to the legal;Zation Of trial
marriages or the granting Of divorces
on mere application, as in Soviet Rus
STA.
Holds P0lygamy Preferable.
at may even be argued that legal
ICED polygamy has certain features
which recommend it as compared with
the progressive polgamy and respect
able promiscuity toward which we
seem to be tending" his article con-
tinues.
"Polygamy as practiced in the
East at least preserved the home for
the children, while our modern prac-
tlce of easy divorce destroys the per-
manence of the home and provides
no way for proper care of the chill
6ren.
our country may come to the pass
where the Government might make
polygamy legal, but that would not
change the standards of the church
or the duty of Christians to live up
to those Standards

shortly after word of the crime was
received by the authorities. One Of
the negroes had smeared his hands
and feet with tar, which Sheriff c. N.

HAZARD OF DIPHTHERIA
! REDUCED BY PROTECTION
Large Scale Preventive Measures
Succeed in New York City,
Says Pamphlet.

Diphtheria hazard for children has
been minimiZed with the development
of an effective means of protection
when on large scale. the American
i Association forsMedical Progress said
yesterday in a pamphlet entitled
| "Diphtheria Durable and Preventable."
Approximately 100000 children we're
reported to have been immunized in
. New York City, where a toxin-anti-
toxin campaign was begun about five
j years ago. The resultant decline of
diphtheria cases was estimated at "a
per cent over the previous five years,
while diphtheria deaths were reported
!, to have declined Al per cent in the
same period.
The pamphlet said this represented a
saving Of more than 450 lives for each
year, adding that in 1926, among 20
+ large cities, New Haven, Conn, and
I Youngstown. Ohio, had the lowest
diphtheria mortality rate, that of 0.6
per 100000 population.

Last week, the tense moment just
before the diamond field was thrown
open was marked by a premature
break away of the runners on
portion of the line. The police were
powerless to restrain the crowd and
as a result the greatest confusion
prevailed. Because of this last
weeks rush was voided. Because
of the governments proposal for the
control of alluvial diamonds, it was
expected that today's rush on the
Grasfontain farm, which is reported
to be of extremely great richness,
would be the last diamond rush in
South Africa.
