Edward was exiled because of love- Wilhelm
was exiled because Of the World War Trotzky
was exiled for political reasons. Lindbergh
simply exiled himself for personal reasons.
OF these four famous exiles, it Is an odd thing
to note, the American is the only exile who can

the holiday season.
Evidently there is still good deal of truth left
in that line: "America-home of the free!"

the proposed Anglo-American trade treaty, to
the effect that its good effect on world trade
had long been discounted in Britain; that In
stead London diplomats looked upon the treaty
as convenient agreement to wave before the
eyes Of the dictator nations and pretend that it
was secret politicalmilitary alliance between
the two democracies.

Everybody else is writing about that Horatio

well add my bit.
= From now on hopeful parents of little boys
are going to point morals like this: "Study your
lessons, hang up your coat polish your shoes, go
to Sunday School. eat your spinach, work at
little odd jobs after school, always be polite, say
your prayers and smile and maybe someday you'll
grow up to be like Joe Kennedy. If you are,
you will be graduated from Harvard cum laude,

young wife. four huge estates (plus swimming
pools), thousands of friends, be an intimate Of a
President, have Eddie Moore Combination side
partner onfidential-secretary, godfather and
duenna) and represent your country at the most
gorgeous court in the world"
Mr.. Kennedy is even an improvement on
Horatio Alger's boy scouts. He's not gone noble
while engaged in worthy works. He's even made
money lightheartedly. He has always had lot
Of fun.

Her small companion looked at

BY grace of the philanthropy of
Washington's better-fixed citizens,
these little girls were eating their

These little girls and the other

Uniform L0ws Are Needed
I certainly agree with Senator Capper that we
should have a Constitutional amendment to pro-
vide for uniform marriage and divorce laws In
all the States. We should make it Harder to get
married and harder to get divorce. There can
be no doubt that people will try to pull together
with greater patience when the door is not left
wide open for them to escape from marriage
after some slight disagreement
To me it seems sacrilegious for people to use the
church and holy marriage ceremony time after
time merely because they get bored with the
various mates they pick out. Personally, I think
women in the old harems had more dignity than
some of our present-day veterans of the divorce
mill.
Religion, dignity and unselfshness have always
been the pillars of matrimony and of life These
fundamental virtues are more important today
than they ever were. Even when clashing tenn
peraments make it impossible to keep the home
intact, individuals must adhere to those three
virtues after their separations if they ever expect
to find any real and lasting happiness.

'T.B.' SEAL SALES
DISAPPOINTING

Approximately one-third of the
$1,000 goal set this year by the
tuberculosis Association of Wash
ington in their annual sale Of
Christmas seals has been realized,
it was announced today by Mrs.
Ernest r. Grant. managing direc-
tor of the association, who said:
For the various health Serv-
ices urgently needed further to
check the high tuberculosis
death rate of Washington dur
ing 1893, there should be not
less than $4,000 available to
our association, the official goal
of our annual sale of Christmas
Seals, now in progress.
"Our cash receipts to date
total a little over one-third of
this campaign objective, amount
ing to approximately $4,000.
With two weeks still ahead of us
before the Christmas holidays
we are confidently hoping this
total fund will be more than
doubled. "A great number of citi-
zens and parent-teacher groups
and various clubs of men and
women are now actively inter-
esting themselves in this fight
against our common enemy, and
for their cooperation we are
most grateful"

Shortly after the accident
occurred at 7:15 p. M, a man
who gave his name as Gus M.

ment and the chromium trim on
the radiator were also found near

About an hour after the acct.

himself up, police located a car
at Twelfth Place and Varnum
Street Northeast, IL blocks from
the scene of the accident. that

death car as given to police by
three witnesses who saw the crash.
These witnesses will be summoned
to testify at the coroner's inquest,
which is yet to be set.
The couple had gone out for
a walk after dinner, as was their
custom, and King was leading his
wife across the street when they
were struck down. King thrust
his wife as far from the path of
the oncoming car as possible and
took the force of the blow himself.
