Charity Would Get Proceeds;
Jean Boardman Helped
Draft Proposed Law

Aroused by opposition to the
proposed new divorce law for
the District which has arisen in
the ranks of Capital clergymen,
Jean M. Boardman, local at
torney and unofficial adviser to
the District Bar Association com.
mittee which drafted the bill, to-
day challenged any opponent Of
the measure to public debate.
Mr.. Boardman offered to give
his services free and proposed
that proceeds derived from such
debate be given to charity or
some other worthy cause.
Only One Cause Now
The divorce bill pending be.
fore the District committees in
both Houses of Congress. pro-
poses to add desertion, cruelty,
habitual drunkenness and convic'
ton of a felony as grounds for
an absolute divorce. Under pres
ent law adultery is the only
ground for such a divorce.
An attendant at virtually all
meetings called by George c.
Gertman, chairman of the asso.
ciation committee which drafted
the bill, although not member
of the committee, Mr.. Boardman
pointed out the proposed new law
provides grounds which are uni
form in absolute divorce cases in
46 out of 48 States. He said:
"It is said in some quarters
that the rigOr of our divorce
law should not be relaxed be-
cause to do SO will encourage
the breaking up of homes. But
what are the facts? Absolute
divorces may be relatively few
but the dOcketS of the District
Supreme Court are cluttered
with an appalling number Of
suits for limited divorce or sep
arate maintenance, each one Of
which is the tombstone of
broken home. Since 1901 con-
nubial bliss in the District has
supposedly been guaranteed by
one of the strictest divorce laws
in the civilized world, yet we
are we'll in the forefront of per
capita litigation between hus-
bands and wives"
Called "MOnStrOsity"
Mr.. Boardman, who has ap"
peared as counsel and given ad-
vice in several thousand cases of
matrimonial riffs, characterized
the limited divorce as legal
monstrosity, which says that a
husband and wife must not live
together, that neither can remar'
ry anyone else but that both must
remain chaSte."
The proposed law is nothing
new for the District, he declared.
The grounds for absolute divorces
in the District from 1870 until
1901, when the District code was
adopted, included those now pro-
posed in the pending bill. When
the code was adopted, adultery
was the only ground for absolute
divorce and the other grounds
were placed in the limited divorce
| class.

under the 1880 million dollar re
lief bill now before the Senate
Senator Pat McCarran, of the

today. He said:
Il believe that the proposal
to carry out the Federal prof"
ects, such as realignment Of the
east front Of the Capitol Build
ing, complete development OF
the Mall and the planned and
unfinished District plans is a
sound proposition.
I'm connection with this line
of thought, I wish to reiterate
my personal opinion that the
money for these improvements
should be a gift from the Fed
eral Government. Washington
is a Federal city. 1t is the Ma
tiOn's Capital, and it should be
recognized as such when the
responsibility of caring for it is
discussed.
u. S. RESPONSIBLE
without meaning any criti.
cism think that people come
to Washington only because
they have to; because this is the
center of Government, and I
think the Federal Government
should see that the city is kept

A number of agencies, Fedora
and local, in the District have
projects pending. They include
beside the Capitol and Mall de
velopment. a municipal center
school repair and expansion pro

"A MIND THAT NOTHING CAN
 IRRITATE"

uHE IS a man of rarest equa-
 | ! nimity. His achievements were possible only to a mind that nothing could irritate."
 We find that in the biography of a great man. Incidentally 1t points out the source of a tremendous waste of which men and women are the victims.
 It is the waste of health and strength and mentality and fine abilities because of the lack of that quality of equanimity.
 I think women suffer much more from the illustration caused by that kind of waste than men, for women are far more vulnerable to the irrltations, as we can personify the many annoyances of every day, the innumerable ways in which we can allow ourselves to be distract ed, if we will, from the big points of issue.
 Equanimity A grain of 1t Is worth large quantities of some of the other ingredients of success or happiness. For without it a large part of those ingredients Is burnt up. With it almost second rate material can frequently be transmitted into something worth while. It occurs to me that that quality of poise and calm which we call equanimity acts on our abilities as the gastric juices act on food. It makes most of them. Without 1t they are squandered.
 That is why many women with fine abilities-whether they happen to be in creating happiness in the home. making most of their chill dren. or writing books or painting pictures-make nothing of their possibilities. They allow the little snags and hitches of every day life to thwart them. Momentary annoy ances in the details of living irri- tate them and throw them of their main track.
 It is far from easy, of course, to live always in the light of a true sense of values. to see the irrita- tions always in perspective. and

GERMANY HAS
SCRAPPED ITS
WAR TREATIES
Hitler Is Aiming The Nation
And FOrtifying The Banks
Of The Rhine River
EUROPEAN NATIONS ARE
SENDING PROTESTATIONS

A war scare seems to be pervadlng
Europe at this time. Hitler, the die
tator of Germany has renowned the
Versailles treaty, even as his noted
predecessor, Kaiser Wilhelm, tore into
pieces the Belgian pact. Now, free
to act as he pleases, he launches forth
to conscript an army; put million
men in the field, possibly; and to for
tify his Rhenish boundary-all in vio-
lation of a treaty the German gov
eminent signed.
Of course the other nations are con-
cerned for the peace Of Europe. They
view with alarm the movements OF a
people whose history, almost as far
back as it can be read, is concerned
with war, and whose national life
seems, paradoxically, to depend upon
policy of death and destruction.
Seventeen years is a short space in
the annals of a nation, and yet only
that period has elapsed since the cur
tain was rung down on one of the
most stupendous conflicts the world
ever saw. Germany had failed in her
dreams of World Empire, her Emper-
or driven into exile, and her resour-
ces for war terribly weakened. She
was considered to be disposed Of for
many generations by the Allies who
had subdued her.
Yet, while all Europe looked on,
Germany has violated her peace agree
ments, and has year by year added
to her warlike strength, until she now
feels able again to defy the world,
and seems ready to launch another
Holocaust. Her own country escaped
an invasion during the World War,
and thus her recuperative powers the
greater. She seems disposed to
plunge again.
It may be that Hitler makes this
gesture to enhance his own influence
with people he knows to be in
fluenced by the glamour of war. AS
the air-planes roar over Berlin, anC
as thousands of troops parade its
streets, the populace is both amazed
and delighted. They are carried away
with the announcement that Germany
is re-armed, and they hail the cere
monies with the cry "Deutches ube1
Alles"-the super-man idea inculcatet
by the exiled Wilhelm.
But, it is not to be supposed tina
the rest Of Europe is unaware of wha
is going on in the Fatherland. AL

play of military forces. England
