DEADLOCK ON
DIVORCE
Page Report Rejected; Further
Study Of 6 Years Ordered by
2 Houses at Denver Meet

DENVER, Sept. IS G.N.SJ.
Another day of wrangling over
efforts to iberalize divorce faced
the fiftieth triennial general con.
vention of the Protestant Episco.
pal Church today.
With nerves frayed from heated
debate, both houses Of the con.
vention are farther away from
a solution of the divorce ques.
ton than when the conclave
opened.
It was freely predicted today
that all attempts to change the
present divorce canon would be
defeated, and the entire question
sent back to . commission for
another six years. study.
Report Is Rejected
The report of the Bishop Her
man Page Commission, made to
the convention after six years
investigation, was rejected by the
committee on canons and precipi.
tated endless argument and heck.
ling, chiefly over technical inter.
pretations Of innumerable amend.
ments and proposals regarding
divorce and remarriage.
The House of Bishops at a Sc
cret meeting last night was re.
ported to have decided to recon-.
mand that the Page commission
be instructed to study the ques.
ton further, thus maintaining
the present canon intact for at
least another iridium.
The house Of deputies adopted
one amendment, by DR.. Caleb r.
Stetson. of New York, which pro-
vides that "any person. whose
marriage has been dissolved for
ANY cause" by a civil court, and
who has been remarked by civil
authority, may apply to the &c.
clesiastical court for recognition Of
his status as church communi'
cant.
Freeman a Candidate
Both houses will lay aside the
divorce question long enough to
elect a presiding bishop. Although
it is almost certain that Bishop
James Dewolff Perry. Of Rhode
Island, will be reelected, church
law makes it necessary to nominate
three candidates. Bishop James
Freeman, of washington, D. c..
and Bishop Edward Parsons, OF
California, are the other two can
didates.

LINK EXPOSED

NEW YORK, Sept. Is G.N.SO
Political New York was rocking
today from the force with which
the lid covering the alleged secret
alliance between crime and
gambling with politics had been
ripped off.
Astounding revelations before
the Hofstadter legislative investi-
cation committee today included
these salient developments:
Testimony by Police Inspector
Charles StilSOn that a double
murder in a Tammany club dur
ing card game five years ago
had never been thoroughly
investigated.
Disclosure by Police Capt. Lewis
J. Valentine that four gangsters
confessed they lost thousands of
dollars gambling in Tammany
political clubs.
Charges that professional
gambling was common in a we'll
known Republican club.
Stilson testified that although
Lorenzo F'uzzio was wanted in
connection with the killing of
Patsy Griffo, one-time assistant
sergeant-at-arms of the New York
State Senate, and another man
in the club, no indictment was
found against him.

HOOVER, D 0 A k
FIRM AGAINST
FEDERAL AID
Labor Secretary Believed to
Speak for President in
Stand on Helping JobIess
By WILLIAM C. MURPHY Jr.

The Hoover Administrator,
with Labor Secretary Doak act
ing as. official mouthpiece, served
public notice today that 1t will
resist all attempts to bring
about direct Federal aid to the
unemployed during the coming
winter.
Mr.. Doak, in a speech at West
Warwick, r. l., painted a gloomy
picture Of results obtained in
other countries from the dole"
which is the term used by Ad-
ministration spokesmen to de-
scribe any governmental assist
ance to unemployment sufferers.
Put Up to Industry
The Labor Secretary said:
'T am firmly convinced that
capital, industry and labor in
the United States are fully
capable Of adjusting any prob
lem that may arise in our eco
nOmic life, If they will only
approach the task in the
proper spirit and at the proper
time. The present unsettled
situation affords no exception"
Coming on the heels of an
nouncements of widespread wage
cuts in some of the nations
largest industries. Doak's declara-
ton was construed as a public
washing Of hands on the part of
the Administration, meaning in
effect that the Government op-
poses wage cutting but is not pre-
pared to do anything about it.
TwO-Way Rule
This impression was heightened
by Mr.. Doak's further assertion
that:
"A1I schemes looking to gov.
ernmental paternaliStic enlarge
ments, or the launching out
into the general field on the
part Of any {: our systems Of
Government, is not a step in
the direction of stability.
ut Is q poor rule that works
only one way. In other words,
II 1t Is entirely proper and Just
that the Government keen
hands off Of business in periods
OF prosperity, it should likewise
keep out Of business during re.
rtOds Of depression.
"Any paternalistic policy in.
augurated by the Government
must carry with it the obliga-
tiOn to go forward at all times.
1t seems to me that it could not
d1fferentiate in its efforts of a
charitable character to meet
the ebb and flow Of eras of
prosperity or depression"
1t was considered inconceivable
here that Mr.. Doak would make
a public pronouncement of such
fundamental character on a con-
troversial issue without having
reason to believe that his utter
ances harmonized with the views
of President Hoover.

G. P. Putnaln's Sons.
From the standpoint of being a
psychological study Of man who
practically defled classification,
Poor Faun' is a fine as we'll as be-
ing an unusual story.
Jossy was married and he thought
he loved his wife above every person
but he had terrible mental affairs
with nen-one a lover of the out of
doors. Still another was a tenor of
great promise.
And right on top of that peculiar
turn of interest, he found time to
seduce a young girl of a certain art
club.
And when he confessed all to his
wife, he brought the victim of his
passion to his own home, resulting
in real friendship developing be-
tween the girl and Barbara, the
wife.
Even when his wife was going to
be the mother of his own child,
Jocelyn runs away from home and
all responsibility and goes cavorting
around a wild section of California
with a nature lover who lived in a
tree.
Then Jocelyn conceived the silly
idea of causing this man to meet the
girl that Jocelyn had seduced. The
plot was a failure.
And Jocelyn, the beautiful Faun,
lost every real friend he had on
earth. Death took away his baby.
His abuse, mental abuse, of his wife,
caused her to leave him after years
of suffering.
He even could not retain the re-
Spect of his men friends and in all
of his misery, mental, at the end of
the story, the sea beckoils to Jocelyn
because he had met two sailors who
had set his mind on fire.

on a Full Stomach

and lots of salads. Eat lot. Eat
all you can hold. Don't go hungry
a minute. Cut down on butter,
sweets and desserts, bread. Eat any
fruit except bananas, for dessert.
That's all you do. Fat seems to
melt away. The coarse lines of over
weight give way to the refined ones
of slenderness. You lost as much
as pound day. You feel better
than for years. For in this treat
ment you achieve two important re-
suits. The Jad Salts clear your sys-
tenn of toxins. THE diet takes off
fat with foods that turn to energy
instead of weight.
If you're tired of being embarrassed
by fat. try this way. You'll be glad
that you did. You can get Jad Salts
at any drug store.

purely as 4 poison banishing agent
not as a reducing The change In food
