with no hint of impediment, the grave eyed Monarch accepted the throne of Great Britain and pledg ed himself to a just and honest rule.
 The two hour ceremony was climaxed when the Sovereign, aged Al, was lifted reverently to the Throne in the sight of seven- ty-five hundred peers, peeresses, foreign rulers, diplomats and sta tesmen from all over the world.
 Outside the Abbey, millions or more people, cheered, guns on the Tower of London boomed, church bells pealed, as from signal, as the priceless jewelled Crown of St. Stephen was placed on the brow of King George VI.
 The Queen was then annointed and crowned in briefer cere- mony immediately following the conornation of the king.
 There was not a visible flaw in the ceremony. Throughout the ceremony Princess Elizabeth, age II, heiress presumptive to the throne, gravely and intently watched the impressive ritual, that may some day make her Great Britain's first reigning queen since Queen Victoria while Margaret, age 6, her young sister, squirmed and wriggled.
 Outside of the Abbey, in a crush of humanity, lining every inch of space along the six miles of pro- cessional route, more than three score spectators tainted, one youth died, and during fight at Piccadilly Circus twenty others were injured.
 A dull overcast sky darkened the glitter of jewels and the gleam- ing bright hued uniforms in the procession.
 In the evening, speaking from his study in Buckingham Palace, King George VI made history. His brief speech, notable for it's simplicity, was broadcast to the British empire. No king before him had ever made such broad cast to his subjects who had gathered in farflung British do- mains. It was made part of cor onation celebration. Tt is with a full heart that I speak to you tonight" he said"
 It is estimated that there was a half billion listeners to his radio broadcast.

StreanIine Divorce Courts Predicted

KANSAS CITY, Oct. GA day of streamlined divorce courts to bring them intd tempa with modern speedy civilization" was pictured at a national conference on uni form state laws.
 "Our divorce laws are the result of completely outmoded religious ideas" declared Albert Douglass Ayres, 63-year-old veteran attorney of Reno's famed divorce courts.
 But indications show a trend to- ward broader divorce laws in New York-which supplies nine-tenths of Reno's "quickie" divorce cases and in other states. When that time comes Reno will lose it's reputation as the divorce center of the coun- try" he said.
 Things are different today. Our civilization is speedy one" con- tinued the lawyer who has handled 200O successful divorce cases in Reno.
 There once was a time when a boy and girl got married and had nothing except hopes and ambi- tions. But in modern civilization a person changes his mind with great rapidity, and very often"
 Ayres said the impending swing to liberalized marital laws is now shown when we see the parliament of staid old England adding nev
