JUDGE LINDSEY
AYERS CRITICS
MISUNDERSTAND
Denies Offering Free Love
AS Solution Of Marriage
Relations.

DENVER, Jan 29.-(P)-Because of
a deluge of denunciation from all sec
tions Of the country by cIergymen and
laymen alike, whom he characterized
as misunderstanding me-" Judge Ben
B. Lindsey of the Denver Juvenile court
tonight issued statement declaring
he was not advocating free love in
America. Rather, | am offering what
I believe may be solution to the
problem of free love now rampant in
the country His statement follows:
Because / care so much for the
sanctity and permanence of the Amer
lean home, 1 am bitterly opposed to
free love- and so-called trial mar
riages' as they exist under the present
marriage code Most of the present
marriage code 1, of course, heartily ap-
prove. BY the good part of / live and
believe as the way to lasting happi-
ness l am for monogamy in the love
and fidelity of one man for one
woman. But in aiding childhood and
domestic relation, victims of the evils
Of the rigid outworn part of our mar
riage code, I would be false to this
and future generations if 1 did not try
to show up the causes of it's failures
and the frightful immortality and
crime that exist under it. In many
cities domestic relations records show
as many separations as marriages an
nually Domestic infelicity is increas-
ing everywhere and is confined to no
special class. 49,
According to my critics, my fault
is that I should dare question any
thing about it or suggest that it might
be improved in the interest of real
morality In my writings in behalf of
such improvement 1 have discussed
birth control, maternity insurance,
frankness and truth in sex and life,
education for parenthood and what
has been referred to by some sociolo-
gists as .companionate marriage. This
last suggestion may never be accept
ed, but why should it be crime to
discuss it? 1t is included as possible
remedy for the growing thousands OF
Illicit sex relationships going on out
side of any decently controlled or dl-
rected legal marriage. 1t is resulting
in the murder of hundreds of thou
sands of unborn children, immortality
and the prevention of real controlled
decent legal marriages that 1 favor
in preference to this awful tragedy
and immortality under present condi-
tions.
my suggestion of Improvement has
met with a savagery of denunciation
from some of the clergy and others
that only convict them of bigotry and
intolerance. Thinking people will know
that I am just as much for the home,
for childhood, morality and decency
as they are. My 27 years Of work for
humanity here in Denver prove 1T.
But now they would drive me from
the beautiful, helpful work am doing
here for women and children by the
storm of intolerance they have stirred
up. When the calm comes the real
, worth while thinking people will not
permit their visiting upon me such a
penalty for an honest, sincere effort

encountered solid rock so hard that
it blunted their drills. In other places
they have struck underground rivers
that have flooded the shafts and
imperiled lives. In still others they
have had to bore through treacherous
shale and soft rock that crumbles
and caves in without warning.
At times the tremendous weight
of the rock above and about the
tunnel has caused one of the shafts
to squeeze shut" Walls, floor and
ceiling come slowly together with
such terrific force that 24-inch beams
are splintered like matchsticks.
But the work has gone on, and
gone on rapidly. The workmen work
in three shifts, of eight hours each,
so that the shafts are never still.
Charges of explosive are set off deep
in the rock; the reverberations have
hardly died away before the steam
shovels are truhdled forward to scoop
up the debris, while automatic con-
veyors begin clicking as they throw
the shattered bits of rock into the
dump cars, mounted on narrow gauge
tracks.

Lives Lost
In reality, the tunnel will be a COM
pound affair. The main shaft will
carry the railroad track; a smaller
tunnel, parallel to it, will divert water
from the Pacific side to the con-
tinental divide and carry it through
to the Atlantic side for the use of
Denver and nearby towns.
Seventeen lives have been lost in
construction of the tunnel, and

every Summer: and music--the town

dence you begin to realize. that the
place is a mere mad round of gayety.
In point of population. If one must
come down to figures. the census puts
the numbers every time at something
around 5000. But it is very generally
understood in Mariposa that the
census Is largely the outcome of ma.
licious jealousy. 1t is usual that after
the census the editor. of the Mariposa
Newspacket makes a careful re.esti.
mate (based on the data of relative
non payment OF subscriptions). and
brings the population up to 5000.
After that the Mariposa Times
Herald makes an estimate that runs
the figures up to $500. Then Mr..
Bingham, the undertaken. who col
lects the vital statistics for the Gov.
eminent, makes an estimate from the
number of what he calls the de

and brings the population to 1000.
After that somebody else works 1t
out that it's 1900: then the man be-
hind the soft drinks counter OF the
| Marposa House offers to bet the
whole room that there are 5000 people
in Mariposa. That settles 1t. and the
population is we'll on the way to
10000, when down swoops the Federal
| census taker on his next round and
the town has to begin all over again.
Still, it is a thriving town and there
| Is no doubt Of it. Even the transcon-
| tinental railways, as any townsman
will tell you, run through Mariposa.

Main street of a Summer afternoon
Is one of deep and unbroken peace.

Evaporation of Metals.

EVAPORATION Of metals is carried
on upon large scale close TO
the surface of the sun, where the
hardest metals exist only as clouds
of glowing vapor. On very small
scale, however, metals can be evap-
grated in beautiful manner. cur

electrodes. through a vacuum tube.
supplies the means.
If a piece of platinum is used for
the negative electrical pole the
passage of the current drives off some
of the molecules of the platinum
which afterward condense on the in
side of the glass tube. forming
mirror-like deposit.
The manner in which this action
takes place is most interesting. TO
understand it, the layman must reCol-
lect that the change of any substance
from the solid to the liquid. and from
the liquid to the vaporous condition,
is accomplished by giving greater and
greater velocity to the molecules of
which it is composed. Ii the molecules
of liquid fly too far they will get
beyond the molecular attraction of
the liquid mass and escape into the
atmosphere or the free space around
them, in which case they are said to
have evaporated.
The ordinary way in which TO In
crease the motion of molecules. or, in
other words. to produce evaporation,
such as changing water into steam
or vapor. is by the application OF
heat. Heat is simply a form OF
molecular motion. but the electric cur
rent streaming from one metal pole
to the other. also affects the molecules
of which the pole is composed and.
by stimulating their motion, drives
them beyond the sphere of attraction
of the metal, whereupon they fly of
until they come in contact with the
surrounding glass.
In this way have been evaporatej
various metals, including that verv
hard substance, iridium, of which the
points of gold pens are made. Gold
and silver are very easily evaporated
in this manner. while aluminium can
hardly be evaporated at all, although
1t is so much lighter.
