Naturally, this is maddening to Mrs Pend
over Her skillful augmentation becomes mere
shadow boxing. She prays for a quarreIbut
In vain. Yet the courts offer her no relief.
Compatibility is not grounds for divorce.
Another defect in our divorce laws is illus
trated in the case Of the Otways. Mrs. Otway
is more than wife to her husband. She is
q pal. Before they were married Mr.. Otway
used to play golf with her and take her with
him fishing trips After marriage he re-
flected she would become preoccuped with
housekeeping and social affairs.
But Mrs. Otway never did. She still accom-
panies her husband on all his recreational
jaunts. Every night after dinner when he
sits down in his morris chair she insists ON
making him comfy by propping several sofa
pillows against his shoulder blades. Then she
fills his pipe (always a little too fulD and
lights it for him very unevenly). And
then she settles herself on the arm of his chair,
effectively screening all light from the paper
he is trying to read Thus begins another
long, cozy evening in the Otway home.
In desperation Mr.. Otway recently consulted
his lawyers regarding the possibility of
Heving this Siamese situation. But the law
yers held out no hope. Non n-desertion is not
even a misdemeanor.
The foregoing cases are exceptional how
ever. The average plaintiff in q divorce action
nowadays is almost certain Of success And
if this years June bride finds her salad forks,
guest towels and other wedding presents mon
ogrammed with simple *" it does not mean
that the donors expect her to marry q Greek.
Their cynicism is touched with common sense.

- HIS year the John Doe" wedding
invitation has made its appearance
for the first time. Rules of social
usage are notoriously inf1exible, but
the arbiters of etiquette must make
few concessions to human frailty
now and then. Only yesterday We received an

Profiting by past experience, Mrs. Humptie-
Dilwell- Manx has made allowances for last
minute changes in the cast. She has also
thriftily devised form which will enable
her to the same copper plate to herald
her subsequent marriages
For there will be subsequent marriages;
that goes without saying. Mrs. Humptie-
Etcetera believes in taking time by the we'd
lock- She is one of the rapidly growing army
of matrimonial diettantes. To her a wedding
ceremony is merely much L do" about moth
ing but it gratfies her altar ego. And before
she shakes the rice out of her shoes, she
instructs her lawyer to make a preliminary
survey of the grounds for divorce
June is dedicated to weddings but the open
season for divorces continues all year round.
Last month Reno celebrated the first ami
versary of Nevaea's six-week divorce law.

only matter of time until woman will, by

twice. 1t is a mathematical probability as
certain, though not as imminent, the in
evitable double-O in roulette.
Trial marriage has been suggested as
solution of the divorce problem. The
misogynists maintain, however, that every
marriage is tral-to the husband. Trial
divorce has also been suggested as a solution
of the marriage problem. It's proponents
assert that If the contending husband and
wife are allowed a brief marital vacation

Rum0rs Fly On
Railroad Plans

Rumors that Ell Centro soon is to
be made a division point on a main
line connecting San Diego and
eastern points via the San Diego
and Arizona railway route, are
heard in the valley frequently of
late. Local railway officials, when
questioned today, said they had
heard nothing of the plan.
The S. D. Sy A. line, according to
rumor, will be taken from Mexican
territory and run through the sand
hills parallel with the highway
through that section, every foot of
it to be on United States territory
The roadbed was said to have
been run through Mexico for the
same reason that the irrigation
canal was built there, belief that
it would be impossible to cross the
sand hills. Proof that construction
can cross the hills gives credence
to the plan.
Efforts OF the Southern Pacific
to obtain full control of the San
Diego and Arizona probably caused
the rumors to be revived.

Washington, March 16-It is pre-

of slapping a sacred cow. The mel

tax bill has struck a snag when it
was freely limited that the skids had
been creased for quick passage.
The bareback has split the ranks of
the parties SO that the so-called gov
eminent tax bill' may be delayed in
definitely. The Senate has limited
that it may revise somewhat drastical-
ly the revenue plans advocated by the
House Committee on Ways and Means.
Pressure is directed by classes, like
the organized farmers for exemptions,
which, if followed, means endless con-
fusion. These groups demand huge
expenditures of money raised by tax
alton for their relief but object siren
uously to paying a share of the COSTS

the tax bill with a proposal to permit
the manufacture of beer as a revenue
source. In the Senate a sub-com-
mittee has voted for four per cent
beer. 1t is understood, however,
that these motions are merely po-
litical gestures. The real fight will
be carried to the resolutions COM

conventions in June. Until there is
a clear manifesto from the people at
the polls other steps will be as USE
less as dispelling fog with a fan.
The small army of bureaucrats

SANDSTONE GOLFERS
HAVE SNAPPY COURSE

The Sandstone Golf club, which was
organized about two years ago and
purchased forty acres just west of the
village is progressing by leaps and
bounds under the good guidance of
enthusiasts in that live organization.
AS was seen at the annual meeting Of
the organization recently, the club is
in good financial condition with a
gOOdly patronage of not only local fans
but also from other places in this Sec
ton.
The plot of ground which was orig
inally pasture land has been con-
verted into a very pretty nine-hole
golf course with many interesting
features SO desirable to lovers of the
game. Hazards enough to make it
interesting together with bull PEN
have been provided and a great deal
of cleaning up and draining of var
ious swamps last fall have made it
more desirable for those who take
time to play the game while dressed
in their best "togs."
Directors of the club look to the
coming year with optimism
At the annual election recently, r.
