DIVORCE IN
 GERMANY IS
 ON INCREASE

BERLIN. July 24.-Divorce in Germany has been rapidly in- creasing and the proponents of easy separation are getting ready to strike a decisive blow for a liberalization of the divorce laws.
 Fifteen divorce courts in Der lin are swamped with applica- ticns and it isA estimated that 30,000 marriages have been an nulled during the past year in the capital alone.
 The German civil code recog- nizes three definite causes for di- vorce: Infidelity threat to life and mental derangement of one of the partners; the latter dis ability must, however, not be of less than three years duration. In any of these cases the court is hound to pronounce a divorce.
 There is, however, also con yenient paragraph 156S," popu- larly known as the elastic para graph, which covers a multitude of sins, from drunkenness and |ill-treatment to insulting behav- for" and moral neglect" and such cases the judges decide on their merits.
 Lawyers brief cases are filled with petitions from parties anx- iQls to sever the matrimonial bond and who are waiting to take advantage of impending re- forms in the law tending to make ldivorce quicker and easier. Un- til now divorce has generally taken from two to three years including the appeal to the court lnf the last instance. the Federal Supreme Court at Leipzig.

- DOLLAR BILLS TABOO
 IN SILVER TERRITORY

TONOPAH, New, July 24.-- One and two dollar bills, omens of ill luck to desert rats and miners, are scorned in the vast sagebrnsh reach es of southern Nevada.
 Banks do not carry them to- cash small checks or to make change, and most busi- ness houses refuse to place any piece of currency under $5 in the cash register. Before 1917 gold and. sih yer coins were almost the only mediums of exchange.
 Aversion to paper money is natural in region where men live and die for the yellow or silver ore. South ern Nevada owes its place on the may to the coined money. .l
 Today there is an actual boycott on one and two dol lar bills in Tonopah and oth- CT mining camps of the state. Local banks ship away twice a month the accumula- tion of that denomination.

Women Dress to Please
 Men Says British M. P.


 NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, July 24 Men are interested in women's clothes but not in babies. So de. clares Mrs. Walter Runciman, M. F., who is the latest addition to women parliamentarians in the house of commons and should be an authority on the subject
 In addressing the Newcastle Ro. tary club here on women's ques, tions. Mrs Runciman said that there were none which did not in. terest men as well as women un- less it was the care of babies. Men, she declared, are responsible for all modern eccentricities in femi. nine dress because women dress to please them. They, however, are not so ready to please women the same way.
 Tt is pity men do not give more attention to their own adorn. ment," says Mrs. Runciman, "and produce something more irterest ing and becoming in their clothes than they do now"

again and they race to their er-
rand of destruction before the
clouds are gone. On through
their majestic depths raced the
seven Americans. Coming out
underneath the bank the boy
sights his objective, three saus-
age like balloons of the German
artillery.
Our boy races for the nearest
"eye," the others covering his
flight. His charge was so swift
and unexpected that the Helm
les at the air craft guns pro-
tecting the balloon were unable
to fire a shell before the big bag
became a mound of fire. He had
come, shot the balloon down
and zoomed away into the cloud
curtain so fast that there was
no defense offered by the Ger
mans.
He joined the rest of the
planes in the cloud and prepar-
ed to put out the second eye. To
gain a point of strategy they
flew far into the enemy terri
tory then turned and raced back
coming out of the clouds and
attacking the second balloon
from behind. The battery pro-
tecting this balloon, being warn
ed by the fate of the first turn
ed their guns to meet the Ameri-
cans from that direction. So
our hero set his second victim
ablaze and disappeared into the
clouds before the ground force
could turn itself around.
After witnessing the fate of
the first two, the crew of the
third began to haul it down. If
the American was to put this
third to flames it must be done
without a moments hesitation.
The seven American fiiers real
izing this, raced at their utmost
speed for that which was in
tended to be third "bon fire"
Having charted the location of
the third bal loon the American
boy lead the way through the
clouds until he was precisely
over the spot. He hesitated not
a moment but went into tail
spin. The plane dropped earth
ward and came through the
cloud floor as if it were out of
control. The plan worked eX-
ceedingly we'll. The German
gunners thought the American
had met his match in the cloud
and not a single shot was fired,
they waited for the plane to
crash. Upon coming out of the
cloud however the daring pilot
saw that he was too late, the
balloon was now in its hangar
safe. Was it safe? An idea
struck the boys mind, though
exceedingly dangerous, it car
ried chance for success. He
continued the fake fall until dam
gerously near the earth. Then
a tug at the controls; had he
waited too long? The plane
still continued to plunge earth
ward, an eternity of suspense,
then a culver, his other hand
gripped the bomb release; the
culver grew into a lurch and
the plane swift as a flash
became horizontal. He just
cleared the tree tops and skim
med over the hangar. AS he
passed over he left a calling
card, in fact two of them. He
released the first bomb but both
the first and second fell. Both
were direct hits and the hangar
went up in the smoke.
The plane then went into a
graceful curve upward and join
ed his buddies in the cloud. On
their return home the whole
flight went hedge jumping. The
German artillery having been
blinded were forced to cease fir

WHO WAS HE?


after the United States entered
the World War. Our setting is
a high school in Colorado. Our
character is senior, nineteen
years of age and graduating
with high honors.
A few months later, the scene
is an Army Flying School in
Texas. Our boy arrives as a
recruit for the Air Service.
Six months have passed, an
immense camaflauged transport
is leaving for France. Again We
see among it's passengers that
same boys face.
A Flying Field in Flanders,
class of Americans are leaving
after having received their last
instructions. Our boy leads this
class as he did in high school.
A hidden airdrome not far
behind the front lines. Away off
to one corner a machine is
warming up. Mechanics tight
en- spark plugs, oil every inch
of working surface, inspect con-
troll wires, and load the machine
gun. To one side stands a young
man calmly watching all these
preparations. An officer ap-
proaches, the man turns, it is
the same lad, although now more
serious. After formal salute
the officer clasps the lads hand
and bids his "contact." The boy
then climbs into the cock pit
and takes over the control of
the machine. The plane is pushed
out onto the field and placed
in formation. One by one they
take off, finally the one we have
watched begins to move, it races
down the field then settles into
an easy climb. He joins the
formation in the air and they
strike out for trouble. So began
the lads flying career.
Now it is the chilly fall; just
a half year since his first day
of battle. Again he climbs into
a plane. This time a new one,
his other was shot to pieces in
the second flight and two more
have met the same fate. So far
he has received not a single
scratch and has four victories
to his credit. AS he settles him
self into the pilot seat his hopes
are to win fifth victory and
make himself an Ace. Just as
before, his plane is run out onto
the field, but this time it is he
who leads the flight.
This day had opened with a
steady drum fire from the
enemy's batteries, every minute
the shells of the Germans were
coming nearer to the front line
of the Allies trenches. The fire
was becoming so dangerously
near that a flight was ordered
to blind the German gunners,
that is to locate and remove all
observation balloons along that
sector. 1t was of that mission
that we have just witnessed the
start.
The German plans must have
been very pressing, for the air
over the German lines was
swarming with planes marked
with the Black Cross. Regard
less of all danger the Americans
came on. The Black planes
close into formation and wait.
When almost at the point OF
battle the American turns, and
leads the flight back. Was he
afraid, yellow? So the enemy
thought as did the other men,
bers of the flight. One thing all
but our boy had failed to no
tice. From over the German
lines was coming slowly but
surely cloud bank. The Ameri-
cans returned to their airdrome
and they realized the foresight
of the true airman.

from uncle Sam and the Eng
fish Royal Flying Cross" for
the boy from Colorado. These
honors put both he and his
squadron at the head of the
honor roll.
Wednesday was just another
day of war, nothing unusual or
exciting so far but there was
to be. A large, slow, clumsy
observation plane was lazily fly
ing back and forth undisturbed.
Suddenly as if from nowhere
came swift German Fokker to
the attack. The newly made
Ace was just climbing into a
new plane for a trial flight.
Hearing of the Germans swift
appearance he started up his
motor and started to the aid of
the endangered two scatter. He
headed straight for the battle.
The German having wounded
the big bird so that it was prac-
tically out of control, seeing the
approaching American fled. The
disabled two scatter began to
| tremble and descend, slowly at
first but faster every moment.
The extreme end of the right
wing and the fuselage began to
rip and give. The pilot realiz-
ing the situation could only wait
for the crash. Seeing the cause
for the heavy planes trouble
the boy Ace decided to take one
great chance to save two lives.
He flies higher and faster to-
ward the wounded bird and COM
ing over it begins a gradual de-
scent. Closer and closer he
draws to the plane that soon will
become a tomb for it's occupants.
Finally they seem to touch but
no. Both German and Ameri-
can soldier heolds his breath.
Again they come close, now the
wounded is fal ling fast. The
observer seems to sense the
same idea that struck the boy.
He stands up in his pit and when
the ground carriage of the scout
plane again comes within reach
he grabs to the axle. Holding
the two together with one hand
he uses his belts and safety
straps to bind the two into one.
When the job was finished it
closely resembled a double
decked street car. Now a strug-
gle. The motor of the little
scout plane roars as if it were
to burst under it's tremendous
load; the wings groan and seem
to give, they do tear! No, still
the little bird holds it's wounded
brother. At the airdrome the
nerves of seasoned air men be-
gin to tremble and snap. Lower
and lower came the two as one.
At last the wheels of the hurt
plane touches the earth, they
bounce, touch again, bounce, and
finally skim the dust and grad
ually the little one eases the
weight to the ground. The OBJ
server sits ready and tense, his
hand trembles as it grips the
straps and knife. Two giant
strokes and the planes are apart.
The big one runs along and fin
ally stops, the little angel of de-
! liverance scars skyward like a
Gagged thing loose and free. 1t
circles the field, then lands this
time alone.
Next day General Pershing,
Marshals Haig and Foch stood
bareheaded beside the bed of the
man. He has proven himself
a MAN. The nervous strain of
this heroic act had sent him to
a decline, but thanks to Provi-
dence, he still lived.
That afternoon German
raced low across the flying field
and dropped a weighted note.
It read:
''To the Officer in Command:
