PRESIDENT GIVEN
D. c. DIVORCE BILL
Senate Agrees to House
Amendments LiberaIizing
Law for Separations.

Congressional action on the bill to
liberalize the District divorce law was
completed this afternoon when the
Senate agreed to the House amend
ments. This sends the bill to the
White House to be signed.
Final action was taken on motion
of Senator Copeland, Democrat, of
New York. who introduced the bill
originally in May at the request of
George c. Gertman. representing the
District Bar Association, and Martha
R. Gold, representing the women's
Bar Association of the District.
Charges Extended.
Under existing law, infidelity is the
only ground for an absolute divorce.
The bill broadens the law to allow an
absolute divorce also in cases Of de-
sertion for two years; voluntary sepa-
ration for five consecutive years, and
final conviction on a felony involving
moral turpitude and sentence to Jail
for not less than two years.
Originally the Senate bill also
would have allowed absolute divorce
for cruelty, habitual drunkenness, or
insanity extending over a definite
period Of years. The House struck out
drunkenness and insanity, and further
provided that in cases of cruelty a
limited divorce could be granted with
authority left in the court to change
it to absolute divorce upon the appli-
cation of the innocent party. if the
legal separation continues for two
years or more. BY its action today,
the Senate accepted the Houses
changes.
The bill provides that an absolute
divorce will not take effect until six
months after it is granted.

TORONTO, August 1.-The sense
of relief from fatigue and hunger that
may follow the smoking of a cigarette,
w. J. Mccormick, M. D., reports in
the American Journal of Hygiene is
caused by the body's effort to fight
of nicotine.
The mechanism as shown by other
scientists is this. The nicotine In the
smoke acts on the sympathetic nerv-
GUS system, which thereupon induces
the adrenal glands to cause release
into the blood of some Of the glocogen
stored in the liver and muscles.
Glycogen is form of sugar. 1t is
the muscle fuel burned by the body
in action. The extra shot-o 1t in the
blood causes the sensation Of we'll

MANILA, Dec. 27. - Put in com- plese control of domestic affairs with establishment Of the Philippine Con- manwealth, the Filipino political ,eaders already have started agita- .ion for a voice in International re- iations.
 Pending the complete independ- ence that is scheduled to come in 194S. foreign affairs remain in the hands of the United States, under the Tydings -McDuffie aet( along with general responsibility for the defense and stability of the new re- gime.
 But President Manuel Que2on and others have indicated they have dip lomatic ambitions in the meantime. Quezon himself said before taking office November 15 he favored put ting the commonwealth in the League of Nations-"if it doesn't crack up" in the Italo-Ethioian crisis.
 Claims Rights Exist
 He admitted permission would have to be obtained from the United States and that there might be diff culty in assuming obligations under the League Covenant.
 Now Camilo Osias, former resi- dent commissioner at Washington, claims the Fllipinos have a part and a vital part in foreign affairs evan under the government of the common wealth"
 Osias. a member of the new uni cameral national assembly of 98, cites a clause in the Tydings-Mc- Duffie act which says that foreign affairs shall be under the direct su- ps,vision and control of the United States,
 The original draft, OsiaS says, read foreign affairs shall be exclusively under the control of the United States. and he maintains the change shows the intention of Congress to share control.

 "The national assembly should en- act a law to make it feasible for the new government to send Fih- pinos abroad as attaches, thus giv- ing them opportunity to prepare to serve as, or with. our future ann 'bassadors
 we venture to add that 1t would be wise for the commonwealth to consider seriously the acquisition of sites and buildings for future lega- tions, beginning with Washington, Tokyo, Peiping, Madrid, London, Berlin, Paris and other capitals with which the Philippines has dealings could follow .''
