Flaunt-flout. Flaunt and flout
are often confused, even by capable

f1out will be seen by these defini-
tions:
Flaunt, "to make gaudy display;
to parade ostentatiously," as, the
peacock faunts its beautiful plum
age. Pronounce it: hawnt.
Fout, Ito mock; to scon at; to
jeer insultingly," as, they fout the

by the way, is from the middle Eng

Once more Halloween comes along
It Is holiday which most children
enjoy, but which many grown folks
would like to do without.
The Halloween idea goes back
hundreds of years. In past times 1t
was believed that spirits of the dead
came back to earth on the last night
Of October. The spirits were sup
posed to return so they would be
ready for All-Hallows' Day, or ALL
Saints Day, on the 1st of November
That strange belief helps to ex-
plain the talk about witches riding
on broomsticks during Halloween
1t used to be fancied that witches
had a special relation with spirits
or ghosts"
Pumpkins did not play any part
in Halloween until after white set
tiers reached the New World.
Old records tell us that the Amer
ican Indians planted pumpkins in
the midst of fields of corn. There
is reason to believe that pumpkins
were raised long ago in Asia, as
we'll as in the New World. Yet we
have no proof that they were plant
ed in Europe until the year 1870.
Europe was late in obtaining
pumpkins, but some of those which
it produces nowadays are larger
than any on this side of the At
lantie. A kind of pumpkin known
as the great yellow gourd" is grown
in France and some other parts
Of Europe. At times it gets to be
five or six feet wide and may weigh
more than 200 pounds. This is the
worlds largest pumpkin. A great
yellow gourd may have enough
flesh" in it for 200 pies.
The usual. pumpkin grown on this
side of the Atlantic has a weight
of from to IS pounds, but there
are some which get to be much
heavier. Weights of from 40 to 80
pounds have been reported for
North American pumpkins.
When pumpkins are carved UP at
Halloween, the faces on them may
be fierce" enough to suggest some
wild being who is abroad that night.

Easy Divorce Laws
Attract Americans
To Virgin Islands

ST. THOMAS. Virgin Islands.
May 13 (CDN.-The "easy di-
vorces" available In Americas
Virgin Islands are attracting more
and more disgruntled husbands
and wives from the United States.
Federal Judge Herman z. Moore
of Chicago jettisoned 143 mar
riages last year-a record for the
islands-and he's well on the way
to topping 1t this year.
insignificant by Reno standards,
the figure looms impressive for
the forgotten United States pos
session. which only now is moving
to provide adequate hotel facili-
ties.
Neither Judge Moore nor Gov.
William Henry HASTE has any
ambitions to convert the depend
ency into divorce mill. but both
realize the divorce trade can boil
ster the big-time tourist business
for which the islands are gun
ming.
People who come here for d.
vorce are still In the minority
among our visitors" the Governor
says, "but the figure is slowly In
creasing years by year."
The islands divorce laws re-
quire only six weeks residence be-
fore filing. The course of a case
through the court may take as
long as another four weeks, de-
pending on the timing Of court
sessions.
A plaintiff has the choice of
eight grounds for the action,
ranging from adultery to "incom-
. patibility of tempermanet."
Although granted by O Federal
District judge. the divorce DEGREES
have the same legal effect as those
issued in State courts.
Court clerks say the vast ma
jority Of the divorce business
comes from the States because
practically nobody here gets di-
vorced. Most Of the natives
couldn't afford 1t.
To answer q mounting number
Of inquiries about divorce pro-
cedure here, Judge Moore has had
printed q capsule summary for
mailing to those who contemplate
what the locals laughingly call
"the cure"
The comparatively easy divorce
laws provide a source of continual
joshing among Americans here.
They say that couples who have
come here for happy vacation"
frequently discover the easy road
back to single bliss and promptly
call 1t quits.
