PARIS LAWYERS OFFER
DIVORCES ON CREDIT
One French Attorney Will Cut Any
Marital Tie by Mail in
Mexican Courts,

Outside certain Offices in Paris, writes
a correspondent of the London Sum
day Times. the husband or wife who
was tired of his or her spouse, but
not too well endowed with this worlds
goods, used to be able to read the
tempting notice, Divorce on Credit"
Another Paris lawyer, it appears, might
equally well advertise Divorce by Post"
though in this case the procedure
certainly would not appeal to the needy.
Some time ago there was a minor
scandal in the French law courts when
it was discovered that, by means which
need not be specified, a good many
American couples had been able to OBJ
tain French divorces with an abbrevia-
ton and simplif1cation of procedure
that was certainly not foreseen by the
law.
A stop was put to these practices,
but now it appears that an enterpris-
ing lawyer here is making the most of
the facilities for divorce existing in
Mexico. He undertakes, for a sigma
ture giving him full powers and for a
fee of $4,000, TO try to get practically
any marriage tie dissolved within six
weeks. and by letter. Mexico, 1t seems,
has discovered mental cruelty" as a
ground for divorce, so that If you like
golf and your wife does not, and each
of you tries to impose your tastes on
the other, this enterprising man of the
law will take your case in hand.

"Woman's organization" or a woman S

She does not argue woman's equality
in the political field, but woman's in
dispensability.
Shoulder TO Shoulder.
"Such an organization as I have in
mind implies women working shoulder
to shoulder with men. and in no sense
auxiliary" said Mrs. Ross. Women
and men bring different assets into the
field of politics. Any question of their
relative Importance is like the eye say
ing to the ear, What need have I OF
thee?' However, women may profit by
the political experience Of their huS-
bands and brothers, and may well take
their counsel and advice, since men have
had charge of the Government since its
organization"

MARKINGS FORCES
DRIVE BACK REBELS
"PeopIe's Army" Continues
Warfare Along 50-MiIe
Front in Honan.
BY the Associated Press.


EANKOW, October 24-Continuous
but indecisive fighting between the Ma
tionalist forces and the religious Kuo-
minchun or peoples army was In
progress today throughout that portion
of Honan Province west of the Kinhan
Railway.
The opposing armies appeared to be
facing each other along - north and
south front, so miles west Of the rail-
way, whereas two days ago they formed
an eaSt-to-WeSt line. The present bat
tie line extends north from the border
of Hupeh Province to the Lunghai Rail
way near Chengchow.
Still 100 Miles From Hankow.
At their nearest point the Kuomin-
chun forces still were more than 100
miles from Hankow, their apparent OBJ
jective. The shifting of the battle line
resulted when the right wing Of the
Nationalist forces advanced northward
along the Kinhan Railway, driving the
rebels from the railroad zone, while the
left wing of the central governments
forces withdrew toward the southeast,
permitting the peoples army" to reach
the Hupeh border.
The Kuominchun army now is adj
vancing eastward In three columns,
hoping to regain railway territory.
Kuominchun spearheadS were aimed at
Shengchow in Northern Homan and
Yencheng, in the central part of the
province. Both cities are on the Kinhan
Railway, Yencheng BENZ about 200
miles north Of here.
Rail Capture Is Held False.
Reports that the Kuominchun forces
had captured Chengchow, junction point
of the Lunghai and Kinhan Railways,
apparently were erroneous. The rebel
army did launch a vigorous attack
against the junction city yesterday, but
the Nationalist used ormored trains,
artillery and airplanes with deadly eff
feet, repulsing the attackers.
Bodyguards of Chang Kai Shek, head
Of the Nationalist forces, arrived here
from Marking, seemingly indicating
that the generalissimo, who also is the
head of the Nationalist Civil Guard,
would arrive here soon to take command
of the central military forces.

Will Rogers
Says:

NEW YORK, October 24.-They
are soon to have city election here
IN New York City, and there is no
more use getting excited over the
outcome of it than you should over
the outcome of a presidential cleo
ton. Only the case is exactly re-
yersed. A Democrat can't win
nationally, because he runs out of
Democrats too soon, and a Repub-
lican can't even get base on balls
in this city, because Republicans are
too scarce.
Then you can always leave it to a
minority party in any campaign to
split and run everybody they can
think of. So, Jimmy Walker will
win by perhaps the biggest majority
of any candidate in years. and will
then kick himself for getting up at
$50 and 10 o'clock in the morning
to make speeches. If he even
changes spats for this election he
will be wasting time.

The purpose Of the "woman's arm, y
