Uniform LGae,
For Divorce

u OEOuHQS IOI5 uilllVLlAl OAtVASOs
according to the National Divorce
Reform league and several other
groups working to the same end,
should be the same for both men
and women. These would include
adultery, cruel or inhumai1 treat
ment, abandonment or failure to
provide for period of q year,
incurable insanity and the COM
mission of an infamous crime by
either. The plan would insist upon
an interlocutory decree which
should not become final until the
end Of three months, during which
time neither person could marry
again. But after that, there should
be, 1t is felt, no restrictions upon
re- marriage.
The children themselves, the
proposed law maintains, should
be the first consideration when it
comes to aquestion of their GUS
tody and whichever parent is de-
prived Of them should be allowed
to visit them and have them as
guests.
"a number Of states just now
are working hard to liberalize
their divorce laws Theodore APP

the movement points out. work

at tightening up their marriage

THE VILLAIN


Remember that guy from used-to-be days.
III That you one time booed in old photo plays.
But now has gone with the changing of ways.
The villain.
He slowly crept by stealth at nights.
To pinch the kids to hear their cries.
And then threw pepper in their eyes
The villain.
He knocks the hero to the ground.
Then bangs his head both up and down,
Till there's not peep not even sound
The villain.
Now that the hero has left the scene
Who is the man that could be so mean
AS to brighten the girl, our heroine.
The villain
He quickly binds the helpless girl.
And says your mine, you flawless pearl.
While all the time mustache he'd twirl.
The villain
He takes her to the old homestead.
s And makes the old folks leave their bed.
y Then says, "begone," you old gray heads.
The villain
/. But as Il happened before il win happen again.
The hero gets sore, it's fight to the end.
And die. does the guy, without pal or friend.
Che.

With lots of punch to back 1t,

A collection of British North
American stamps makes an
interesting study and many Of
these stamps may be secured
through exhcange of ones
duplicates with collectors in
our neighboring countries who
in turn are interested in ac-
quiring a collection of United
States stamps.
Another group that is pop
ular with American collectors
is the Latin American group
including both Central and
South American countries. The
history OF these countries
which may or may motto be fa-
miIiar to the collector may be
traced through the various is-
sues of stamps Of the countries
making up the group. Conn
parativcly few of the stamps
are high priced and collectors
may obtain plenty of material
to build both a general and
specialized collection. Several
of these countries have issued
historical sets showing pOr-
traits OF their presidents and
heroes so that one may write
up the complete history and IL
lustrate the writc-up with
stamp portraits.
In Great Britain the most
popular group Is that of the
British Colonies. This group Is
indeed beautiful, especially the
more recent commemorative
issues, and 1t is one that young
collectors should not neglect
for 1t covers the globe and
takes o n e into the remotest
corners of the world, regions
which arouse the imagination
and interest of romantic youth.
During the past few years
Italy has Dopularized her col
Onies with issues OF beautiful
sets OF stamps, commemorate
ing various events, both past
and present. A cOnpletet col
lection or these stamps, i'm
used condition, is not easy to
Obtaian although most of the
stamps may be obtained from
dealers in unused or mint con.
ditiOn. Such q collection makes
a very Snowy and coIorful ex-
hibit.
General collectors have long
favored French Colonial
stamps because they present a
distinctive pictorial stamp
along with bright coloring and
the thought of distant and
remote lands. Many of these
stamps picture wild animals Of
all sorts, savages and cannibals
of the jungles, and intimate
studies Of far-away countries.
Here again, the collector has
no easy time to complete a
collection OF used stamps but
the effort gives the enthusiast
a chance to prove his ability
in running down these elusive
stamps. The lower valued
stamps in mint and unused
condition arc not hard to get
and they are not so very ex-
pensive, 30 that q fairly large
collection may be made at q
comparatively small outlay.
