COURT HITS SUITS BASED
SOLELY ON ALlMONY PLEA
Justice Smith Says MANY Divorce
Cases Are Mere Gold Digging
Attempts by Women.

Justice James Francis Smith, pre-
siding in Equity Division l in the alb
sence of Justice Stafford, intends to
discourage divorce suits having for
their object alimony alone. In taking
under advisement an application to fix
alimony today the court said: Many
of these divorce cases are nothing
more than gold digging by women
and l intend to remove temptation
from their paths as much as / can
When the wife is able to support her
self she will get nothing from me in
the way of temporary alimony, and
when she is not able, an allowance
will be made sufficient for her sup
port"
Many applications for divorce are
permitted to lag after temporary ALI
mony allowances have been made, the
records disclose. and the court is in
clined to require the prosecution of
the suits by discouraging larger tenn
porary awards of alimony.

Rabat, Morocco, Nov. r P- i Moulay Yousset, whose reign as Sultan of Morocco is looked upon as covering a period Of brilliant growth and progress, died today after years Of suffering from a chronic malady. Youssef, whose name means "My Master" was often called the real father Of his people He was known as a convert to modern economic ideas. As a direct descendant of the Prophet Mohammed. he held strictly to the tenents of the Mo hammedan faith.
 Eldest Son Heir.
 The heir presumptive is his eldest son. Moulay Idris who. if he is ac- ceptable 10 the Shcriffian and French governments, will ascend to the honor of the Sheriffian umhrel- la which is hereditary to his dynas- ty of Aides. Moulay Idris will be the eighteenth Of his dynasty, which was founded by Moulay Ahmed and is the thirty seventh in lineage from a son-in-law of Mohammed.
 The Sultan died at Fex al one of the four royal palaces which are in Morocco. He had frequently been reported in ill health but recently was said to have shown marked i'm provement.
