RED MARRIAGE SEEN
TURNING GREEN
Riverside Daily Press)

(RiverSide Daily Press)
Russians who once were able to obtain
a divorce almost for the asking, are now
finding themselves restrained by blue
law" so strict that only one divorce has
been granted since the new statute was
enacted.
Effective last July the edict is one OF
the most fundamental of several recent
moves to increase stability in Soviet
society, observes Associate Editor Edgar
Snow in a radio report from Moscow IN
the January Is Saturday Evening Post.
By establishing deliberately compli-
Gated and costly legal procedure, the
Soviet government intends to recover the
normal rate of population growth, to
govern marital and paternal dilemmas
and to control juvenile delinquency. Ac-
cording to its own preamble, the new law
is 4 further step toward consolidation
of the Soviet family"
The mere divorce petition to the peo-
pies court costs $500. The final cost,
if the knot is united, may run 500 to
S4OO more. Notification of intent must
be published.
Increased solemnity ef marriage is en-
couraged and payments for child produc-
tion are encouraged.
Since common-law mothers can no
longer claim husbands estates and other
benefits, tens. of thousands of Russian
couples who neglected the matter are
Fastening to legalize marriages and their
offspring.
The unwed mother must give the child
her own surname and cannot sue the
father for the right to his. However,
financial benefits for the upbringing of
her children are greater than accorded
the married mother
No reaction has been Forthcoming from
soldiers away at the fronts and Mr..
Snow wonders how these millions are
going to behave when, after their return
and the inevitable need for readjust-
ments which always follows, they find
the margin for that readjustment was
closed when they were away.

A 50-year- debt for team OF
horses was repaid recently to John
Parr, a retired farmer, by a 90

Victory Blooms Football,
World Series Chances

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-(P-The
likelihood that the 1915 World
series will be held and a bigger
Series will be held and bigger
and better boom in football APP
pear to be the first benefits that
spo~,s will reap from the imminent
end of the war with Japan.
Due to wartime travel restric-
tons baseball's big show appeared
to have become a casualty and
football was slated to operate on
limited basis this year. While
these restrictions likely won't be
removed soon, many Of the OBJ
jections to holding the World
Series probably will disappear be-
fore the end of September. Foot
ball schedules can't be changed
much at this stage, but the end OF
gasoline rationing is certain to in
crease attendance at college
games.
In the more distant future, the
resumption of national and inter-
national sports events that had
been dropped during the war is
expected. International competi-
tom. from the Americans cup
race to the Walker, Westchester
and Wightman cup matches was
wiped out soon after the declara-
ton of war. Plans forNthe revival
of many of these events already
have been laid.
Professional golfers, who carried
on with considerable success
through the war, hope to resume
the Ryder cup matches between
the United States and Great Brit
ain next summer. These matches
were cancelled in 1889 the day
after war was declared. Big-time
amateur golf in the United States
was abandoned as soon as this
country entered the war. The Ma
tional Amateur, open and public
links tournaments as well as the
International Walker cup matches,
likely will be resumed as soon as
representative fields are availab BILE.
The Olympic games, abandoned
in 1910, probably won't get under
way again soon because of the
number of nations involved and in
ternational problems that must be
settled.
Similarly. Davis cup tennis can
not be resumed quickly although
the Women's Wightman cup
matches between the United States
and Britain may come back soon.
THE America Cup Yacht races,
involving an outlay of millions OF
dollars for big racing sloops, lie
somewhere in the distant future.
Other events that were dropped
during the war and which may be
resumed include the United States
Great Briatin Polo series for the
Westchester cup, Polo matches
against Argentina, the famous In
dianapolis 500-mile automobile
race, the American Bowling Con-
gress tourney, Bobsled races, the
Poukhkeepsie and Yale-Haroard
