RENO DIVORCE
UPHELD HERE

Because she voluntarily sub
mitted to the jurisdiction of a
Reno court and obtained a divorce
there from her husband on a
croSS-bill, Mrs. Alice F. Swain,
1414 Juniper st. N. W., cannot
repudiate the Reno decree, JUS
tice Joseph w. Cox ruled today
in United States District Court.
Mrs. Swain obtained her Reno
decree in March, 1884, and subse-
qunetly sought a decree in the
local court, accusing her erstwhile
husband, Robert w. Swain, 405
Tenth st. N. E., of desertion.
Swain was represented by At
torney Jean M. Boardman who
pointed out that the wife had ih-
tanned her decree on a cross-bill
and, without going into the valid
ity of the Reno decree, she had
no standing in the local court
since the full faith and credit"
of the Reno action was not ques-
toned here.

GETAFE, Spain, Nov. 6 0N.S0
Madrid is virtually conquered.
The central phase of the Spanish
civil war is practically over today.
The whites have won, and from
now on the significant thing for
the outside world is the inter.
national effect of the victory of
the whites over the reds in Eu-
ropes most violent conflict since
the civil war in Russia, which
ended the other way.
Ignorant of Fate
The doomed red capital of
Spain seemed ignorant of its fate
today as it cleaned, bright and
splendid, in the brilliant autumn
sunshine.
Three months ago I saw Ma
drid's roofs from the crests of
the Guadarrama, and at that
time the white officers told me
they would be in the capital
within a few days.
Ninety days have elapsed. and
only now it is plain that the
whites will really occupy the city
within days or hours.
From Guadarrama it was 30
miles to Madrid, but today we
were only seven miles away, and in

leaders as the result of the Demo

ship to a handful.
In an effort to preserve the
territorial division" of the Senate
chamber in the past, officials have
placed Democrats on one side and
Republicans on the other side Of
the center aisle. The third party
members have sat with the Repub-
licans.
Even in the last session the
Democratic side was so crowded
that many members had undeSir-
able seats. Moving of the center
aisle or building of another aisle
and creating a Cherokee strip"
for the Republicans was under
consideration.
Not Acute in House
The problem is not as acute in
the House, despite the fact that
the Democrats increased their
present tremendous majority.
Unofficial returns today placed

Seventy-fifth Congress as: Demo

Seats are not regularly assigned
to members in the House as in the
Senate. Thus, Democrats can
and have-moved over to sit on the
Republican side. Even more will
be forced to move over in the
Seventy-fifth Congress when there
is full attendance.

Another problem created by
the Congressional landslide is

comes of industrial concerns be-
tween Labor, Management and
Capital. Roughly, it seems that
out of every dollar taken in for the
finished product, IS cents goes into
the pockets of Labor, about 20
cents is paid out in taxes-Federal,
State and local-and out of the re-
naming IS cent raw materials have
to be paid for, interest on borrowed
capital-bonds-has to be paid,
management compensated, and the
stockholders get the rest, if any.
The average profit to stockhold-
ers runs around 2 percent on the
volume of business dona-in some
business, less.
Doubtless many inequities exist in
our industrial system, but the no
ton that Capital gets the lions
share is, as I see it, a foolish belief
based on Ignorance of the facts.
CAPITAL 49,. the system
When | hear people talk about the
"Capitalistic System as if it were
something to be abolished as speedi-
ly as possible, | wonder what they
would do under any other system.
For nowhere in the civilized world,
outside of Russia, is there anything
but the capitalistic system.
For instance, every farmer is a
capitalist. So is every storekeeper,
every man who owns his own bar
ber-shop, garage or any other kind
of Service" business. You are a
capitalist if you have a savings
bank deposit or a life insurance
policy. Those two latter classes
take in nearly half of all the people
in the country.
Where does the capital come from
to finance big enterprises? Mainly
from you and me. Our money, paid
in to the savings banks and the life
insurance companies, makes a big
pool Of money which goes into the
bonds and shares of all sort, Of
money-making enterprises.
I shudder to think what would
happen to all If US if the capitalist
system were suddenly abolished.

School of Public Administration.
The weakest spot in our whole
political system is the lack of train
ed administrators. 1t is an old Am
erican saying that ~'anybody can
run a hotel" Everybody knows
that isn't true, but we intrust the
management of our public affairs
and our tax money-to men whose
only qualification is that they have
been faithful workers for the party
in power.
How far that system can be chang
ed in a society as completely politi-
cal as that of the United States is
somewhat doubtful. But if the
new School of Public Administra-
ton does nothing more than focus
public attention on the fact that
special training is desirable for those
who are to manage our complex
administrative systems of govern
ment, it will have done something

Dog Cost
Owner Is Cents

Frosty was a lucent dog, but
he proved to have a million dol
lars worth of courage and loyalty.
From 7 o'clock Saturday night
until after 200 Monday afternoon
the big, white German shepherd
lay beside the body of a slain COM
rade, a black Belgian police dog,
near the Methodist Orphanage on
Glenwood Avenue.
Through the night, FROSTY"
howled for help. But he never left
his post and, when morning came,
the snow had almost covered his
body.
Still, when his master went to
take him home, FROSTY" kicked
and scrambled and begged to stay.
He had to be carried away bodily.
About three years ago, a small
boy brought the snowy white shep-
herd puppy into the grocery store
where Earl R. White, of 607 IL
Washington Street, was employed.
The boy Offered to sell the puppy
sent to him by an uncle in Wash
ington, for the price of a movie
ticket.
Mr.. White said he paid the lad
IS cents for the dog. Now, he
"woulds't take anything in the
world for him."
The Belgian police dog who was
killed by an automobile on Glen
wood Avenue Saturday night chad
been hanging around Mr.. Whites
home for several days and was
"Frosty's" favorite playmate.
When the nameless dog was
struck by the car, reported Mrs. R.
E. Straughan of 1912 Glenwood
Avenue, "a gang of dogs worked
around him just like a crowd of
people. l think they helped him
to move up on the bank off the
street."
Then, "Frosty" lay down beside
his pal there he stayed.
Afraid that the handsome dog
would freeze, B, J, Straushan went
out in the morning and wrapped

ty" to leave the spot, the Straughan
family carried out some food for
his dinner. Passersby brought him
a corrugated box for shelter.
Meanwhile, B. ]. Straughan had
notified Radio Station WPTF of
the dogs condition and the station
broadcast "Frosty's" description.
