DITORCES IN NESS

Decision of the third district court of
appeal, declaring divorces granted to
California residents in Mexico are null
and void places numerous Californians
in an unenviable position for which they
alone are to blame.
"A decree of divorce rendered by any
jurisdiction in which neither of the par
ties has domcile is not entitled to full
faith and credit and will not be recogniZ-
ed and enforced in California" is the de-
cision rendered by Justice John F.
Pullen, who adds further, bona fide res
idence is essential to jurisdiction and a
valid decree of divorce cannot be found
ed upon a simulated domicile, nor resi-
dence undertaken for the purpose of Sc
curing such a decree"
Although the decision makes no refer
ence to Nevada divorces, practically the
same conditions prevail regarding the So
called Reno divorces and, while we
may be mistaken, we believe one Califor-
MIA court has SO decided regarding Nev-
ada divorces.
The decision is one that should find
support among all who believe in the au-
thority of the law and the sanctity of
marriage.
u6 laws Ol OdlllOf1lld, as JneN apply
to divorce, are liberal enough for those
who cannot make a success of the mar
riage state, entirely too liberal, for that
matter, in the eyes of many When legal
divorces can be granted in matter of
moment or two, and for difficulties
which hundreds of married persons sur
mount daily, there appears to be no ne
cesslty for going to foreign country
for that purpose.
Technically those who seek divorce in
Mexico or in Nevada are supposed to be
residents of those communities. They
know themselves that they are not the
courts granting the DEGREES know thev
are not and the whole world knows that
their only reason for going there is to
sever the marriage bonds, despite any
flimsy claims to the contrary
Divorces of Californians in Mexico or
Nevada not only make a mockery of mar
riage but insult the law of the state, and
actually encourage perjury, and worse.
Those who have obtained such irregu-
lar divorces are in a very questionable
position, particularly if they have remar-
rled, as most of them have, the desire to
have new spouse being the principal
reason behind such divorces Perhaps
it would do no good to remind these peo-
pie OF the dangers to which they expose
children of such unions, but they might
be stirred by considering the dangerous
and costly civil litigation from discarded
spouses, to which they expose them
selves.

And, though all the animals boys

still they we're glad not to be OBJ

And there are going to be such
lovely things to eat!' said Baby

CAUSE FOR REJOICING

Coming at an exceptionally appropri-
ate time is the information that diversion
OF water from the Colorado river into the
irrigation canals of Imperial Valley is
almost at normal point.
There is no need to make any reminder
of conditions which have prevailed for
the past four months, for they are only
too we'll known to residents of the rural
and urban areas.
1t has been an exceedingly veXatious
time for all concerned. Dairymen, grow
ers of field crops and others growing
permanent crops, have sought means for
getting sufficient water for their partic-
ular needs. The directors of the irriga-
tion district have been petitioned to show
favor to one group or another and have
wisely kept a straight course, showing
special favor to none and decreeing that
all must take the same chance.
In the cities, some have abded by the
emergency regulations laid down by their
respective governments. Others have
taken different views of the matter and
have acted accordingly.
While there has been some bitterness,
on the whole the people of Imperial Val
ley are to be congratulated for the excel
lent way in which they have cooperated,
the great maj Ority being willing to make
the best OF BAD situation, 0uOyeQ up by
the knowledge that this is Just about the
last year that water shortage can men,
ace Imperial Valley.
Now the diversion figures are only
slightly less than at the same time last
year. There is ample water coming down
the Colorado at present. Whether it will
continue so during the next few months
is something that only the future can tell
Seasonal rains and occasional run-offs
from snow may be sufficient to avoid a
return to conditions which existed last
July and August.
There is nothing to be gained by bor-
rowing trouble and as Thanksgiving day
approaches we can be truly thankful
that we have come through a most diff
cult period and for the present at least,
are facing practically normal condition
in the matter of water

House, on behalf of the boys and girls
Of the settlement.
The children began to organize two
skating clubs. but so few Of them had
skates Of their own that their plans
will go awry unless other children OF

skaters are being kept from the streets,
the Friendship bus will be pressed into
service to take the children to the.

4. East gives up.
As a result of the very fine bidding
on this hand. South opened the only
unbid suit-spades. He made the
proper lead from q short-suit holding
the nine spot, and North. with a
cherry smile, covered the nine with
the ten. East went right in with the
ace, trying to look as though he also
held the king.
At this point, East decided to count
up his tricks. After counting them
three times, they still added up to
eight tricks. II he took all eight and
then attempted to make up a club
trick, the opponents would win with
the ace and run five spade tricks.
Therefore he subtlely led the deuce
Of clubs toward the tenspot in dummy
South fell for it. He played second
hand low. and East thus sneaked in
his ninth trick, making three no.
trumpS.
South should be able to read the
spade situation. North covered his
nine with the ten-a very encourag-
ing sign. He should be able to count
on running at least four spades and
the ace of clubs to set the contract
one trick AS a matter of fact. East's
bid of three no-trumps is down two
tricks If South goes in with the ace
Of clubs.
From the bidding, deceptive as 1t
might be, South should count North
for void in clubs, therefore the hold
up of the ace of clubs Is not only
dangerous but also extremely silly.
