MARRIAGE CONTRACT
ON SOCIAL-EC0N0M|C
BASIS ENDS IN court
Chicago Judge Scores Univer-
sity Students Agreement
as Compartments

Chicago, Mar. 8.-(R-The mar
rage Of two University Of Chicago
students In which they signed q con-
tract agreeing to restricted social and
economic claims on each other has
collapsed.
The breakdown of the unusual pact
signed by Leo Dolan and Virginia
Roth. before their marriage In Sep
tember. 1928, vas aired yesterday in
superior court where Dolan lost an
alienation Of affections suit against
his father-in-law.
The agreement, introduced as evt-
dence In trial. and entered into in an
attempt Ito foster and preserve the
great love which now exists" evidently
fell far short Of that mark. At the
end Of the trial Dolan told the court
he was not really after the money
the sued for $4,000 and merely
wanted his wife back, but the young
woman refused to speak to him and
left the courtroom on the arm Of her
father.
Judge Michael L. Mckinley. In d.
recting the jury to return q verdict
Of mot guilty" said it was "the most
outrageous contract I have ever heard
Of" He called 1t q mere compan-
tomato marriage, by which you assume
al Of the benefits and none Of the
duties Of . husband"
Dolan denied It was q companion
ate marriage and insisted everything
would have worked out all right II his
father.in-law, Edgar Roth, architect,
had not interfered.
The contract provided that Dolan
WAS not to support his wife until 1888
when both should have finished their
university courses. Each one prom
ised not to interfere with the others
school attendance or career and they
were both given the right to forbid
social relations with other persons.

Or Than Strict Adherence to
Church Laws by Pastors

Chicago, Mar. 8.-Q1-A committee
OF the Presbyterian general assembly,
after spending three months In the
study Of divorce and kindred subjects,
has decided II would Be 'imprudent"
for ministers to adhere to strict MAIN
tenance Of tho church code on divorce
and remarriage.
The report which the committee
composed Of six ministers and five
elders will submit to the next general
assembly was completed yesterday.
Immediately afterward one Of the
committee members predicted that
the liberalization recommendation
would result In - spirited controversy
among the congregation"
One brief paragraph disclosed the
committees views on liberaliztng the
northern branch Of the church: 1t
read:
I'VE recommend that since the new
testament ordatns ct least the two
grounds which are now recognized In
our standard. adultery and IRENE
dial deeeftion. II woul seem impru-
dent 70 standardise the ministry In
the church upon the church law, for
each case must b studied upon It's
own merits"
Continuing. the minister's and elders
realised that this liberty r. likely to
Be abused b. some ministers. but II u
right In principle and win b honored
BY the great majority q the min
listers Of Jesus Christ seeking TO OBJ
serve the spirit Of his life and teach
tngA"
Tho committee vas unanimous IN
the abelief that the federal govern
neut should adopt . uniform code On

1t is always a pleasure to recon-
mend the work of Mr.. Countee Cullen.
He is one of the few Negro poets who
combines the necessary equipment
for first-rate writing. He possesses a
wealth of the finest talent and his
technical education was completed
with honor at both New York and
Harvard Universities. He is equipped
for poetry of depth, breadth, and
brilliant intellectually. AS a matter
of fact. all of these qualities are eIe-
gantly manifest in his new book, Inc
Black Christ and Other Poems.
The title poem is by far the most
MAGNIFICENT and sustained work MI.
Cullen has produced. 1t is unsur-.
passed in the beauty and pathos OF
its appeal. The deep emotion wnlcn
has always characterized Mr.. Cul-
lens poetry has been forcefully mar
messed into this tragic tale OF a typi-
cally white southern feStivity.
There are other poems, which
mourn necessarily of unrequited love;
vet they are delightful gems OF wit
and philosophy. Some years ago
when Mr.. Cullen was at Harvard,
the undergraduate newspaper COM
mented that his poetry lndlcateo d
decided death complex" DouptleSsly
the same publication would now
claim that the internationally known
poet suffered from "love-compieX.
Without considering the SUITABILITY
of either of these descriptions, IL
may be safely stated that Mr.. Cul-
len is we'll on his way toward achleV.
ing the ultimate in the world OF
letters.
The work is published by Harper
and Brothers New York City and
will make a distinctive addition TO
any library.

LINCOLN AND HIS wIFE'S HOME TOWN.
BY william II. Townsend. The Bobbs-
Merrill Company, Indianapolis. Price
$500.
In this volume, it is found that
Abraham Lincoln was never in favor
of bringing about in any way the
social and political equality of the
white and black races, nor of making
voters or jurors out of Negroes nor
of qualifying them to hold Office, nor
to inter-marry with white people"
1t appears that Lincoln's attitude
toward the Negro was that Of COM
passion toward a slightly inferior be-
ing. His sympathy was akin to that
held by members of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
This book sheds much interesting
information on the inside life OF the
great opportunist. Excerpts from

TALK||

Iof keeping abreast of all phases OF
scientific progress.
w. w. Norton and Company, Inc,
40 Fifth Avenue, New York; in
good season recently began the pub
iication of the New Science Series
which is collection of valuable ond
considerably abridged volumes on
any number of current scientific
problems. This series purports to
keep modern men and women in
touch with the finest minds in the
field of science.
"What Is Darwinism?' is volume
of this new series, and is typical OF
the small pamphlet-like appearance
of each book of this series. 1t con-
tains an abundance of clear compre-
hensive information written in a
charmingly argumentative style.
DarWinian evolution as a definite
concept is frequently flouted by
those who are entirely unacquainted
with the fundamentals of this much
abused theory. This small volume
will do much toward setting one on
the right track in reference to evo-
luton and natural selection.
DR.. Thomas Hunt Morgan is the
author of this volume. He Is lead
ing American authority in the held
of biology. This as well as all 0thar
volumes of this series is obtainable
at the price of $1.00.
