for the law of the Presbyterian church
in n document being sent to the 10000

The document was prepared by DR..
Clarence j.. Mccartney Of Pittsburgh,
former moderator of the general as
senbly, and DIR. William c. Covert of
Philadelphia, general secretary of the
Presbyterian Board of Christian Edu-

May and final action on the report is
to be taken at the next general assem-.
bly, in Tulsa. Okla, in May, 1923.
Divorce is now competing with
death as a discover of marriages in
the United States" DR.. Mccartney as
serted in his report. ''One Of every
six marriages ends in the divorce
courts. 1t is easy to demonstrate
from history that the increase in
divorce, the thawing of family NOR
tality and the breakdown of the sane
tity of the home have been the heralds
of national decline and decay.
"Our conclusion is that the New
Testament, as revealing the mind of
Christ. recognizes but one cause as
grounds for divorce-adultery. When
we are beyond that ground and sane
tion divorce and remarriage on other
grounds we have parted company
with Christ"
DIR. Covert presented q statistical
study Of marriage and divorce. He
said that divorces had increased more
than $50 per cent since 1870. and that

Warren Floors Carpenter in 2nd

Ad Warren, the Uniyersity's
champion boxer, knocked out
Lew Carpenter of Miami, Flor
ida, in the second round in the
City Auditorium of Durham
Tuesday night. His victory was
expected, but it was not thought
that he would bring the fight to
a finish so promptly.
The bout was put on by the
Durham post of the American
Legion, and the big hall was
crowded.
A collegiate atmosphere was
impaired to the affair by the
large number of University stu
dents who went over to see their
favorite in action. When War
rem appeared in the ring he was
greeted by the Carolina yell.
Prominent among his train
ers was the playwright and
actor, William N. Cox, who gave
the adversary's gloves a thor
ough examination and gave the
Carolina man whispered last
minute suggestions.
Warren displayed a quickness
on his feet and an all-round fin
ish that seemed to mark an inn
provement over his previous per-
formances. From the first gong
he was the aggressor and drew
blood from Carpenter before the
first round was half through. At
the beginning of the second he
rushed in with hard right cross
es, and during few seconds of
in-fghting he got in several ter
rife iabs to the chin. 1t was a
murderous right uppercut that

laid the Miami man low. The
winner was called upon to take
practically no punishment at all.
During the four or five minutes
of fighting Carpenter was most
ly occupied with backing away
and lodging.
In one of the intermissions
earlier in the evening frankie
Lewis announced a challenge to
the winner to a fight in Green's
boro, and he and Warren may
meet there next week.
I'VE predict" says John Skies,
sports expert of the Durham
Herald, that the Tar Heel fight
er will make as short work of
Lewis as he did of Carpenter.
This department believes that a
law should be passed in this
state making it illegal for the
common, ordinary, garden vari-
ETY. of boxer to be matched with
Warren. We believe. it's a vio-
lation of the S. P. c. A. code" T"
Commenting upon Warren's
entry into the professional ring,
Mr.. Skies says: Besides an in
nate fighting ability he has a
powerful physique that should
grow more powerful as he con-
tinues in his chosen profession.
He has not learned all the sci
entific secrets of this manly
sport, but they can be taught
him. Without reservations we
predict that. he will be fighting
somebody for some kind of a
title within two years time. He
is truly the championship hope
of the South"
