LENINGRAD. Russia, March 22-
Trial marriages are becoming in
creasingly numerous throughout Rus
sia, due to the abolition of all church
and civil ceremonies.
In many instances here men and
women were married one week be
came tired of one another the next
week, and promptly obtained di-
vorces so second trials with other
persons could be made
During the short time the new
soviet marriage code has been in
effect, the number OF registered mar.
riages in Leningrad alone has d4-
creased IS per cent, while the mum
Der OF divorces has increased By 80
per cent. the daily average being
about fifty seven.

DIVORCES INCREASE
UNDER SOVIET CODE

The shrrp decline in marriages is
attributed to the new regulations
exc npling newlyweds from register
ing fheir union with the state, com
lnon-law marriages being sanctioned.
The increase in divorces is due TO
the ease with which unions can be
d. solved.
The guardianship Of children does
not appear to be rs serious problem.
For example. one woman with five
children applied for divorce Her
husband made no protest
'W hat shall we do with the chill
dren.' asked the divorce clerk.
Tie can take the two boys" said
the woman sharply, pushing the
youths toward her husband, they'll
probably prove to be as big hooligans
as he is. III take the three girls"

to be willing fSslay their hearts at
her feet. She became an auto.
mobile mechanic--one OF the first
mechanettes in the country.
Later she took over the manage
ment of the estate left by her
late parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver
Livingston Jones. This consists
OF property at Cold Spring Harbor,
n. Y, where she maintains a
residence. and at other places
on Long Island. The estate -as
valued at s5.COO.oOO and would
have required the services of at
least two men, less energetic than
Miss Jones, to administer. But
she found time to do the work
and engage in fights with at
torneys over matters which she
considered she knew more about
than they.
Even this did not occupy all
her time. Hardly a public ques-
tion arose that Miss Jones was
not to be found fighting on one
side or another. She established
an office in Washington as a
base for civic activities.
1t was in Washington as n
member of the Jane Adams Peace
Conference that she met Senator
Dill, the "baby' OF the Senate.

PLENTYWOOD GANG
ROB THREE, GET $S4

A daring hold-up occurred a mile
north of P~lentywood Tuesday
evening, when Otto Benno, Walter
Smith and w. f. Peters were halt
ed by two men and after being
ordered to remove their clothing
were taken down in a nearby cou-
lee where n robber stood watch
on top of the hill and the other
went through the wearing apparel
After the robbers had secured
their haul Smith and Peters were
tied hand and foot, but Benno not
taking a liking to this put up a
fight with the result that he was
terribly beaten about the head
and face, deep cuts having been
caused by the use of a forty-five
in the hands of one of the robbers.
When the other victims finally
freed themselves they found Ben
no in an unconscious condition
and Immediately took him into
Plentywood where he was placed
under the doctors care. Peters
lost about $40, Smith SO and
Benno S4, although the latter had
about $50 sewed up in his coat,
and this amount the highway art
lists overlooked. No trace of the
robbers has been found up to this
time.-From the Wolf Point Her
