CONTROLLING DItDRt l.

The divorce laws in the state Of
New York are one Of those rigor-
GUS statutes designed 10 prevent
the spread Of an evil As cycry-
one knows, divorce Is granted in
New York only upon evidence Of M
fathfulncss. It is remarkable, how
ever. that divorces in NcH York are
fairly numerous. It IS IA problem
there as in every other STATE,
The trouble with the dll orce law
III New York is that those couples
intent upon uncoupling the bonds Of
matrimony too frequently provide
all the evidence the court requires;
and if is not always reasonable to
suppose that the evidence is an ac-
curate picture Of an actual occur
renee.
Perjury docs the trick. people
without morals Viii not hesitate to
procure evidence at d price.
4 man once boosted to us hat he
had procured divorce in New
York. He said it was easter to get a
divorce there than anywhere else,
explaining that the needed evidence
vas easily obtained. H said that he
had done nothing wrong and 50 far
as he knew neither had his former
wifi: but the evidence named j

paid for along lines known 10 a

ID al such things.
The weakness Of tho New York
law is that it doesn't stop what il
seeks 10 prohibit. That is weakness
OF 100 many modern laws.

current reverses in direction at
regular intervals. increasing from
zero to its maximum strength and

to maximum and decreasing to
zero. The current continues to vary
ra pidly in direction and in strength.
@. What is heat?
A. 1t is a form of energy, gener-
ated by the transformation of some
other form of energy. such as conf
bustion. chemical action. or the
stoppage of mass motion by friction.

goes to the core of the situation:


goes to the core of the situation:
There are about S0o,ooo students
in the United States IN institutions
of or above college grade. A large
proportion. if not most OF these
are preparing for the professions Oh
law, medicine, engineering In all It's
branches, teaching, ministry, dem
tistry, architecture Journalism ana
so on. The total employed in all
these professions in America is
about twice this 100000.

III relation to the demand. Is 1t a
reasonable question to ask what Will
happen to professional salaries
when the 500. 600 goes to LOCO. 600
and to 1.5Uo,o00 as it surely Will?
Even of the almost 1000, goo high
school students the attempt seems
10 he to try to get as many as pos
sible in the professional and clerical
occupations.
You cannot have the present
percentage in high schools and eX-
poet them all to so into the higher
callings. If all would do so. salaries
would drop to unbelievable levels.
The higher cdllings' might even be
more overcrowded than the field OF
unskilled labor is today"
Il seems to us that if the creation
OF new members for the professions
is destined to be far in excess of the
demand or requirements as Dr.
Clark fears, then there can be nc
other result than gloom in profess
sional ranks. He therefore urges
state control to regulate the number
of persons studying for each pro-
oession. This would be regulation
with a vengeance. Mould II be a

NEW AUTOS TO RUN
WITH LESS GASOLINE
Expert Says Improved Carburetion
Will Give Better
Performance.

That the purchaser of 1929 model
automobile will get improved power ana
performance with smaller consufnp-
hon of gasoline is pointed out by oscar
Eoolican, director of the w. A. I. A.,
Nho says that survey OF the newest
cars reveals an almost unanimous bet
terment in carburetion and manifold
ing systems.
More scientific design in these i'm
portant units, Mr. Coolican shows, Will
assure the user fuller and more COM
plete combustion and utilization OF the
'power parts" of the fuel.
Study of the specifications OF the
newest cars as they have become avail
able, and close observation Of them in
the flesh so to speak, leads inevitably
10 the conclusion that while giving ap-
breciably more power and smoother OPP
Grafton. the manufacturers at the same
time have endowed them with qualities
Of economy never before attained.
"Carburetors are more thoughtful In
design than ever. Used in conjunction
with the latest and most approved ideas
On connection with manifolding systems
they extract from the gasoline every
ounce of energy-producing power. The
net result Of it all is finer operation al
less COST
According to Mr.. Coolican, this is
sust one phase of the improvement
which has been wrought in the new
automobiles.
From stem to stern they are better
shan their predecessors and, regardless
of price class, it will come as welcome
news to all prospective purchasers that
upkeep costs will be lower. The auto
mobile industry, at least partially, has
achieved its goal of utmost efficiency
at lowest possible cost per mile," Mr.
Coolican concludes.

PEDESTRIANS CROWD
BOSTON AUTOMOBILES
Win Right to Step From Curb and
Appropriate Parking"
Space.

BOSTON CP.--For years the auto
mobile has been steadily crowding the
humble pedestrian from the Nations
roads and highways-but now the
walker has begun a counter-attack.
increasingly, in recent years, Boston
pedestrians have challenged unofficially
the right of automobiles to monopolize
the roadways in the downtown shopping
streets, especially Washington street.
But this year they have received
official sanction from the Street Com
mission to step down from the curb
and appropriate part of the road
adjacent to each sidewalk.
This sanction is temporary, being a
concession on the part of the Street
Commission to the Importance of the
enormous pedestrian traffic during the
December shopping season. The COM
mission has temporarily deprived mo-
florists of 5 to 6 feet Of the roadway
on each side of Washington street be-
tween Winter and West streets, and has
given this space to those on foot. Gangs
Of men were at once assigned to mark
these lanes with white lines and the

police were directed to enforce the new
regulation barring vehicles.
The innovation may or may not be
significant as a new trend in regula-
ton of motor traffic in congeSted dis
tricts. But among private citizens the
opinion now is frequently expressed
that Washington street, where 1t passes
through the shopping center. should be
made highway for pedestrians.
