EPISCOPALIANS
FACE PROBLEM
OF REMARRIAGE
Abandonment of Position to
Be Issue Before Con-
Vention.
BIZ United Press


DENVER, Sept. 11.-One of the
major problems to be discussed at
the t1ftieth general convention of
the Episcopal Church, starting here
sept. l6, is whether the church in
the United States shall abandon it's
historic position against the re-
marriage of divorced persons.
The law Of the church as it now
stands provides that no priest of
ire church can marry a divorced
+ srson, except in a case where di-
sorce has been granted on the
grounds Of adultery. Then the in
nocent person may be remarked.
In -925 the general convention of
the church, meeting in New Or
leans, appointed joint commission
OF bishops and deputies to make a
study Of the divorce problem.
In 1873 the commission presented
the results of its three-year study.
put made no recommendations The
commission was continued and
asked to report in 1881.
The commission has announced
that it will go before the conven-
tlon with an amendment to Canon
lorty-three of the church law, ap-
proved by a majority Of the COM
mission, and which if approved by
the convention will permit the re-
marriage Of those who have been
divorced, without consideration of
grounds.
The proposed revision of the
marriage law provides for the or
ganization in the various dioceses
OF the church of ecclesiastical mari
tai courts. which shall, in each in
stance, pass upon the right of di-
VVored persons to remarry within
the church.

situation.
Mr.. Hoover's associates believe
wage reductions are generally not
justified at this time. Rents are
remaining high, it is pointed out
Until they come down, the White
House attitude probably will be that
somewhat cheaper items do not JUS

OUR CHILDREN

Teasing.

Teasing.
Baby sister played cheerfully all
morning. She talked to her dolls, gave
them their baths and their breakfasts
and words Of wisdom. She made q
house for them Of q couple Of chairs
and an old shawl and made calls upon
them and upon her mother, Mrs. Kitchy-
kitchy. Each time she said that name
she chuckled in delight at her own Gre
alive ability. "All out Of her own head
she found that nice name for mommy."
The household was peaceful and
happy all day until Bill came home
from school Bill was and baby sister
4. After Bill made stamping, stormy
entrance, tossing his hat at the rack,
his books at the table, he turned his
attention to baby sister.

dolls?" Playfully he picked up one Of
them and began opening and closing its
eyes with sudden jerking movement.
Don't, don't Bill. You hurt her"
Hurt her. You silly. As If anybody
could hurt a doll. I can turn 'em all
inside out and never hurt them q mite.
Dolls can't feel" and true to his word
he seized the dolls and began twisting
and turning them about in his hands.
To baby sister this was death to her
children and she lifted her voice in
loud protests, howls, shrieks.
What is all this?" said mother,
fastening down the stairs. Bill. what
are you doing to the child? She was
and bothered her. Put the dolls down
and leave them alone. I should think
you'd be ashamed to tease the child as
you do. You never come into the house
but some such things as this happens.
Go upstairs and find something to do. "
Jaw, she just a big baby. Cries If
you point your finger at her." and be-
hind his mothers back the bold Bill
stuck out his tongue and made q ter
rible face at his little sister who howled
the louder.

world" KATHERINE"
You are lucky, Katherine, because you
have q problem that can be so easily
solved. The best way to train your
memory is to exercise 1t. Learn things
by heart-poemS, for instance. Pick
out catchy or interesting verses that ap-
peal to you. Say them over to yourself
after you go to bed at night or on the
way to work. Stevenson'S "Child'S Gar
den Of Verses" Is a good thing to begin
with. Then there Is a poem by Edna st.
Vincent Millay about burning the candle
at both ends.
You will enjoy learning these and
each one you learn will improve your
memory just as each swimming stroke
strengthens the muscles of your arm.
Since you are in a law Office you
might also memorize passages from legal
text books. When you look for new
job that will help you get q better one.
There are many tricks that are sup
posed to help the memory. Don't bother
with them. It's harder to remember
the tricks than the things you want to
remember. You know the old joke
about the man who couldn't remember
what he tied string around his finger
for.
Simply learn things by heart-songs,
jokes, anecdotes, poems. But don't dis
card the scratch pad. Even people with
good memories find notes useful.
