Life Under Same Roof
Is Held No Bar 10
Support Order
Appeals Court Decides
Wife Need Not Leove
To Get Maintenance

The fact that man and wife still
live under the same roof after
divorce proceedings have been in
stituted does not give SUFFICIENT
grounds for denying temporary
maintenance. the Court of Appeals
held today in reversing a District
Court ruling.
The appellate court pointed out
there is no statute that requires
living separate and apart" as q
condition either of divorce or of
maintenance, and in support of its
ruling said:
Men and women may live as
strangers, even as enemies, more
separately, more contentiously, more
violently. under single roof than
under two.
The essential thing is not sepa-
rate roofs. but separate lives-that
the parties 50 live, whether under
one roof or two, as to abandon,
with apparent permanency Of inten-
ton, the relation of husband and
wife in all but the most technical
legal sense"
Ruling In Petersen Case.
The ruling was in the case of
Mrs. Helen o. Petersen, $500 block
of Rittenhouse street NV, who in
October, 1898. filed suit for limited
divorce against Aksel Petersen. pat
ent attorney, and asked for mainte-
nance pending final disposition of
the action.
In her suit. filed through Attor-
neys Alfred M. Schwartz and Sam
uel A. Friedman, Mrs. Petersen
blamed their rift on her husbands
lifelong habits of thrift She said
he kept a tight hold over the purse,
forbade charge accounts and gave
her an allowance of 50 weekly, which
he handed out dollar or two at a
time
Five years after they were married
in Copenhagen, Denmark. the Ped
ersen marriage broke up, it was
charged, when he ordered his wife
out of the kitchen and insisted upon
cooking his own meals. The tele-
phone was discontinued, the maid
discharged. the grocer ordered to
cease extending credit to Mrs. Peder-
sen, and the wife claimed, lin short,
he took over the entire manage
ment of the household"
Rutledge Writes Opinion.
Associate Justice Wiley Rutledge,
who wrote today's opinion. expressed
little patience with the theory that
the wife cannot receive maintenance
because she continues to remain
under the same roof with her hus-
band.
Ordinarily, of course" he said,
husband and wife who have reached
the parting of the ways will not con-
tinue to live in the same house. But
there are circumstances in which no
other abode is available. practically
speaking, to a helpless and deserted
or abused wife.
ITO compel her in order to avoid
condoning her husbands offense or
submitting absolutely to his hostile
will In the matter of her mainten-
ance, to leave the only shelter she
has, particularly when she owns it
equally with him, would be both un-
just and contrary to settled law. She
is not required to forgot shelter in
order to obtain food"

Cutting Voting Age
To 8 Eventually Urged
Al Catholic School
Couldn't Expect One to
Wash His Neck If Bored
Till H. Speaker Soys

A systematic reduction of the
American voting age-eventually
allowing eight-year -old school chill
dren to skip up to the polls and
drop in their ballots-was proposed
as a solution for the Nations ills
today by the Rev. Edward Bowling,
S. j.. of St. Louis. Mo.
Father Bowling is a member of
the faculty of the Summer School
of Catholic Action, which opened
sessions today at the Mayf1ower
Hotel. He conducts courses in po-
itical science.
If citizens were legally prohibit
ed from washing their necks until
they become II, we would hardly
expect them to do a decent job of
it in later life, would we?" agreed
Father Bowling How can We think
that the American people will have
intelligent habits of voting at ma
turity, so long as we threaten them
with penitentiary sentences II they
vote before they are 81 years old?'
Without delay the voting age
everywhere should be dropped to 49,
he urged. He set this figure because
in any mai or war 18-year-old boys
are quickly drafted for service at the
'front.'
At the general session which
opened the school at 9:15 a m. about
800 young leaders of Catholic edu-
cation from distant States as well as
the District heard an address by the
Rev. Daniel A. Lord. S. j.. director
of the school, which is sponsored
by the Sodality of Our Lady.
Father Lord. editor of The Queen S
Work. pictured the difficulties OF
great Catholic leaders. The courage
of aloneness, found in all great lead
ers. is necessarily more pronounced
in them" he declared.
Their ideas are rejected by the
mob-whether of illiterate or OF
clever pagans-and their ideals are
too difficult to win wide acceptance. ,

Wellington Bristol Entertained By
Friends At Birthday Party In Home

IN RECREATION
ROO MS OF HOME

A number or friends OF V. A.
Bristol. prominent undertaken ct
1241 Joseph Campau, gathered al
his home last Saturday night In a
delightful expression OF his friend
ship and a celebration OF his birth
day. The party was confined to
men who were intimate friends of
Mr.. Bristol and was staged In the
newly and beautifully decorated
recreation rooms.
The artist who created the paint
ings on the side walls depicted the
various interests OF the host On
one wall was the emblem OF the
Masonic order. together with the
symbol OF the American woodman.
The likeness OF Mr.. Bristol In his
Fee cap appeared prominently as
the guests descended the stairs in
to the room where card tables
were artistically arranged. The
second room showed the interest OF
the birthday celebrant during his
leisure hours. On one wall the ar
fist attempted TO show Moses
Walker and Bristol pulling In their
dream fish--a monster that, II Il
could have been given life. would
create a good reason for head
lines on any sport page. Another
wall showed beautiful thirteen
point deer OF the northern Michi-
gan woods, and this reminded all
OF the yearly trips that Mr.. Bris-
tol has made TO the deer country.
Bingo was the popular game OF
the evening. and interesting prizes
were given after each round. A de-
licious dinner was served ut mid
night and, the appetites OF the men
were sharpened. for the occasion
and the delectabie chickensAnds all
the trimmings were heaped upon
each plate. The evening was
brought to n close with a round OF
speeches under the impromptu d.

In all sincerity the men express

one constant note In every speech
which emphasized the fact that

Mr.. Garner's record. According to
Mr.. James that record is simple
enough If Mr.. Garner has ever
done anything that was not sensible,
good-natured and honest, Mr.. James
IN his researches has not discovered
it. He does not glorify his subject,
but he expresses an approval SO un-
qualified that it may, without exag-
geration, be interpreted as implying
admiration, too. The Garner-for-
President groups are certainly not
going to be displeased at this-so op-
portune-volume.
There is no reason of which the
reviewer knows for questioning the
accuracy of the work, as far as it
goes. There is, however, in a larger
sense substantial reason for object
ing to it. And that is that Marquis
James should have written it. His
name has justly come to stand for
better things in our literary scene.
He has to his credit books which are
monuments in American biography
and the reading public has accepted
him as an unquestionable authority.
To find his name, then, on volume
which is certainly uncritical and
which comes so shrewdly into the
political wind is bit disillusioning.
One feels that he has done himself
some public disservice in so writing.
However, for those who are satisfied
to have their facts served without
much analysis, the outlines of Mr..
Garner's history are indubitably
here.
