Present Picture Crude.
"One-thousand-line television would
require about 8,000,0 ,000-cycle modula-
ton and a carrier of probably a
20 600, ,000-cycle width. To accomno-
date such carrier in the either would
require the wiping out of every radio
telephone, radiotelegraph and broad
casting service.
Until we have a fundamental in
vention effecting radical channel con-
servation, televiSion will remain an in
teresting and fascinating experiment
for the amateur and professional re-
search engineers, but to the entertain
ment-seeking public only a means of
producing a blurred, crude, half-recog-
nizable image which holds great posi-
bilities for the indefinite future and
none for the present"

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JASTROW.

of gesture with no need of any other
school than the everyday school Of
imitation. That is. 80 per cent acquired
on a 10 per cent natural basis. Conse-
quently what Is natural Is the gestural
haolt about as freely used as we see 1t
in lively children, and what Is ac-
quired is first of all the general habit
of letting it have its way or suppressing
it, Once the habit of gestural habit is
INDUCED in, hands and face are inceS-
sanity active, adding a touch of emo
tionel expression to what the words but
imoerfectly convey.
As we grow to think more intellec-
tually we rely on the spoken word to
carry the message and less on the emo
tional accompaniment. We use gesture
sparingly. but we still rely on facial ex-
preston and the voice gestures Of en1-
phaSis and tone to complete our mean
ing. Cold print is cold and the spoken
word Is warm, because the voice can
carry the feeling tone and the eye can
get 1t only from expression and gesture,
not from the word alone.
In a public appearance personality
counts. and personality is conveyed by
emotion. So the public arts of the
stage end the platform and pulpit will
keep alive the noble art of gesture. To
be seen by the crowd. gestures, like
facial makeup, must be exaggerated,
but they must still be genuine to carry
conviction. When they are not, when
there Is flourish, a word or an act
lacking sincerity, we say that's mere
gesture"-the gesture that is acquired
and on occasion assumed.

Everyday Law Cases
Is Divorce Necessarily Granted in
Uncontested Case?
nv THE C0JINSEII0R
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Henry Ernest instituted suit for di-
vorce, alleging that he had been sepa-
rated from his wife for the required
statutory period and that he had left
her because she had inflicted indignities
to his person Satisfied to let her hus-
band get divorce, Mrs. Ernest ignored
his suit, filling no answer to his allega-
tions.
In accordance with the general prac-
tice of the court, a master in chancery
was appointed to take testimony in the
suit. Although the evidence produced
bv Ernest as to the indignities he
alleged was legally insufficient to entitle
him to a divorce, the master recon-
mended that the court grant the divorce
because the parties had been separated
the statutory period and the wife, by
failing to enter her appearance. showed
that she did not intend to deny the
allegations.
But the court refused to accept the
masters recommendation and denied
the divorce, stating:
There is no presumption that be-
cause parties have gotten into the di-
vorce court they are entitled to the re-
lief which they seek. In addition to
the statutory period Of separation. the
complainant must prove to the courts
satisfaction. even in an uncontested
case. that he has grounds legally sum-
cient to entitle him to divorce"

When a telegram came to Springfield
Ill, in June, 1861 announcing to Abra
ham Lincoln that the Republican con-
vention in Chicago had nominated him
for the presidency he did not forget
Mrs. Lincoln in the excitement.
Stuff1ng the telegram in his pocket
he remarked that there was a little
woman in Eighth street who had some
interest in the matter" and strobe of
home to tell her the news.
And Mrs. Lincoln had the interest
of prophet as we'll as wife in the
event. Hadn't she always, even before
she met Lincoln, prophesied that some
day she would be the wife of Presi-
dent of the United States?
Washington society, always acutely
interested in the wife of the President
awaited the coming of Mrs. Lincoln to
the White House with anxiety. What
sort of woman would she be? Fashion
able ladies anticipated the worst. for
Lincoln himself was simple, homely and
uncouth.
At her first levee, March 9, 1861
she appeared in a rich pink moire-
antique, with pearl ornaments. and with
flowers in her hair and hands. She
turned out to be "an elegant-looking
IdOJ, SOIllCWIldb lIICIlllcU W StUuCIltSS ;,
but withal f1ne-looking and self
possessed" She was abundantly able to
grace the station in which she was
placed.
AS a matter of fact she was very
superior woman. Her father, Robert
S. Todd of Lexington, KY, had been one
of the leading citizens of his State
Mary Todd was we'll bred. we'll edu-
Gated, and had been social leader. As
a girl she had been pretty and vi
vacious. albeit a bit naughty. When, in
1897, she left Lexington to make her
home with f1er married sister, Mrs.
Ninian w. Edwards. in Springfield. H.
she became one of the bellies of the
Illinois community.
She was very ambitious. Perhaps
that, as much as anything else. in
f1uenced her in marrying Abraham
Lincoln. Undoubtedly she loved him,
but. too, she perceived that he was
destined for high places-the highest,
she believed. 1t seems to be beyond
dispute that she prophesied more than
once that she would be the wife of the
President of the United States. Friends
have insisted, too, that she declared OF
Lincoln, II mean to make him Presi-
dent"

1t took a lot of searching for Chat
terer to find just what we wanted, but
he 6ic find it at last. II wasn't in
tree. 1t was in the ground. Yes, sir,
1t was in the ground. 1t was hollow
in the ground under the roots OF a
big stump. There was no entrance to
it by way of a hole in the ground 1t
was reached through knothole sew
eral feet above the ground. That knot
hole was just Dig enough for Chatterer
to use. Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel
or Rusty the Fox Squirrel would have
been unable to even push their heads
through. Inside there was a small
hollow passage extendinf all the way
down the trunk to the roots. There
Chatterer had done little work and
had made an opening that led into this
nice, dry cavity underneath the stump.
1t was wonderful place for store
house.
Having found his storehouse, Chat
terer set to work to lay In his Winters
supply of seeds. With those sharp little
teeth of his he shipped off the scales
of the pine cones and the FIR cones
and the spruce cones and pulled out
the little seeds between. These he car
risd to that new storehouse. My, my,

was astonishing how fast he could snip
those little scales from the cones. They
made carpet, did those little brown
scales. And Chatterer was happy. He
was SO happy that he didn't have time
to scold anybody
Several time Happy Jack Squirrel
and Rusty the Fox Squirrel came along
and watched Chatterer at work. They
did their best to find out where he was
storing away those seeds. Happy Jack
even sat right on top of that big stump.
But though they spied and did their
best to find out Chatterer's secret, they
never did. So gradually the storehouse
was filled. When it would hold no
more Chatterer began filling some of
| his other storehouses. He was going
| to take no chances of going hungry in
the Winter.
Happy Jack and Rusty, on the other
hand, were having hard work. They
were not finding much more than
enough to eat day by day. The out
look for the Winter was not at all good.
They we're worried Yes, sir, they were
worried. No stores meant starvation
and suffering from cold. So both of
them roamed far and wide, hoping that
they might find a hickory tree or an
oak tree bearing heavy crop. While
Chatterer was happy they were worried.

Springfield and met Abraham Lincoln.
He was SO and already had made his

Her brother -in-law, Ninian Edwards,

protested The young lawyer was OF
humble origin. He lacked polish ana
cared nothing for society Gould she,
who had been brought up In cultured
home, be happy with him?
In the developments that followed,
Miss Todd seems always to have been
of one mind. Lincoln's carelessness OF
social forms was strongly impressed
upon her on more than one occasion.
On the other hand, he found her jeal-
Gus, exacting and hot tempered. But
while he was irked by their frequent
disagreements and wished to break the
engagement, she went steadily ahead
with preparations for the wedding.
1t is hard to understand that when
Lincoln finally severed their relations
Mary Todd remained faithful to him:
One would have expected woman OF
aggrieved. She was not. In the end
they were reunited and married.
Mrs Lincoln loved power and show.
Honest Abe" was always for simplicity.
1t was inevitable that there should be
domestic clashes.
Once in their Springfield home, it Is
said that she angrily repreved her hus-
band before a neighbor.
why don't you jaw back, Abe?" Lin
coin was asked.
We'll" his reply is reported to have
been, ''it does Mary great deal OF
good and does me no harm"
In the White House she overruled her
husband on many matters. Neverthe-
less. they had very happy family life.
When he died from an assassin's bullet
after being shot as he sat with her in
box at Ford's Theater, she was so
shattered that it was five weeks before
she was able to leave the White House.
But In her grief she remembered that
when the Presidents body was taken
back to Springfield for burial. the body
of her older boy Willie. who had died
in 1862. would be left alone In Wash
ington, and arranged that it be removed,
too.
