 PITFALLS OF

Pick Your Mate with Care, Warns Jurist Who Has
 Heard 3,327 Cases

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-The book ends in Judge John c. Lewe's cham bers in superior court are a pair of grinning bronze gnomes inscribed "Mirth Is King"
 Between they they hold com pactly the sad records of broken homes, severed families, and in- nocent children set adrift. The merry little men are custodians of the divorce decrees that wait for the judges signature.
 Already Judge Lewe has auto- graphed a record number of 3,327 of the sorry documents in the nine months and ten days he has been hearing divorce cases.
 Offers Remedy
 But the judge, who has listened to the troubles and squabbles of 1000 couples during this period, has a remedy

With two days of good weather apparently on tap, the 1887 Flag Winners for the Gastineau Channel Baseball League may be decided this weekend
 Little World Series" battles be- tween the Islanders and Moose are slated for both tonight and Sun day, and if either team should take both contests, Juneau's baseball sea- son would be roped and hog -tieds
 Their receiving last evenings game on forfeit, put the Douglas Islanders right up on even terms with the Moose, and makes each of the possible three remaining games of the series considerably more vii tai.

WOMAN FACES DISHONOR TO
 SELF OR JAIL
"Valient Is the Name for Carrie,' at Coliseum,
 Is Gripping

A dilemma faced by woman jail on the one hand or dishonor in the eyes of two children whom she adopted and brought up as her own on the other is the basis of the tensely dramatic and gripping mo- tion picture Valiant Is The Word For Carrie which begins Sunday at the Coliseum Theatre.
 Taken from Barry Benefields best-selling novel and introducing Gladys George famous stage &C., tress, to the screen Valiant Is The Word For Carrie" is a powerful story of woman's resurrection through mother-love and the great sacrifice she is willing to undergo in payment for the borrowed happi- ness which was hers in bringing up the children.
 Carrie Snyder played by Miss George, is woman of dubious back ground who adopts two waifs as her own. Through them she finds love and because of them she gives up her former life.

PENNIES FROM ] HEAVEN BRINGS
 JOY ID FAMILY
Bing Crosby Stars in Gin ema Starting Sun
 day at Capitol

There's happiness ahead at the Capitol Theatre where Bing Cros- bys latest picture, Columbia's Pen nies From Heaven" is opening Sum- day. A cast that includes Madge Evans, Edith Fellows, Donald Meek and Louis Armstrong, famed king of swing, works along with Bing in the film.
 Crosby's latest picture was "Rhy- thym on the Range" in which he scored a hit. Madge Evans was last seen in "Picsdilly Jim" and little Edith Fellows, thirteen-year- old starlet, will be remembered for her performance in "She Married Her Boss" and And So They Were Married" and other films. Arm strong's celebrated swing band ap- pears with him in Pennies From Heaven"
 The story concerns a vagabond troubadour who falls in with a little girl and her improvident grand father and proceeds to take them under his somewhat patched-up wing. The child is about to be sent to an orphanage and the elder ly man to an Old Peoples Home when the troubadour hits upon a plan to make enough money for all three of them to live on.

 If young people would select their mates with the same care and thought they use in choosing their careers, or even their hats, the di- vorce rate would fall
 The judge has another sugges- tion for the reduction of divorce, a return of religious training in the home. He said:
 Young people brought up with some religion, any religion, take a more serious view of the responsi- bilities of marriage, and they make a greater success of it, and hesitate far longer over seeking divorce as a remedy for their mistakes"
 Trouble Causes
 Judge Lewe, though not setting himself us as an authority on what he calls this countrys gravest so- cial problem" speaks from experi- ence when he lists the causes of divorce in what he has found to be the order of their importance:
 1, Big city life; 2, drink; 3. gam bling; 4, the depression; 5, divorced celebrities; 6, revenge.

''So Yer Siding Wid de Japs'' Is
 TiCkIiSh Query
Throw-back to Promordial Days Sends Quivers
 Up Man s Spine
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Aug. 21. Idling through l4th street after dark, nose burned in the hits, runs, and errors column of an early street edition, T was weeping softly over the lach- rymose details of another defeat for the N. Y. Giants, when a pink hand- bill was thrust rudely into my face.
 Read dis, pal :"
 Well, you know how it is Whel you're preoccupied you shake those things off without half no- ticing. I never even looked up until some anthropoid- like figure planted himself squarely in front.
 "So, yer sidin wid de Japs" he snarled.
 He was a throw-back to the prim- ordial days of knotted clubs and ape like creatures squatting in front of caves. His voice was a sinister guttural.
 Well, y'are, ain'tcha?"
 "What?" I calculated.
 Yer sidin' wid de Japs!"
 Who? Me? Goodness gracious, No!'
 Zen read dis he growled.
 took it quickly and thanked him for it and told him I was very anxi- ous to read it.
 What does it say, friend?"
 "lt sez--it sez :. well, yer bet ter not side wid de Japs, dat's all"
 T haven't the remotest idea of siding with the Japs," told him.
 But even then his features didn't relax |. He sort of backed off to one side and I passed on, but I could feel his eyes following.
 I opened the polemic. :. It was coral-shaded hand-out, with a glowering oriental war-lord in front, armed to the teeth. Across the top, in bold, rugged type, ran the scare-head: Hands off Chinal
 I read the treatise carefully, con- scious all the while that our ape like friend was still interested in my behavior He held to the pace about l5 feet aStern. . began to know vague sense of panic. True, people were everywhere and there were probably cops within hailing distance. But sometimes in New York people get awfully mayhem minded. I'm too young to figure in anything like that.
 There was a Chinese restaurant just across from where I was pass ing.
 The Gorilla was gaining ground.
 I turned into the Chinese res- taurant.
 As the waiter shuffled up could see the ape-man standing at the door. He seemed to be listening.
 "Velly fine Amelican food this place" the Chinese gibbered. "Velly fine steak, flench-fly, little lice on side!"

 In firm, clear tones I ordered a big bowl of chop sueyl
