ALIMONY WITHOUT
DIVORCE IS DENIED
Supreme Court Says Law Has
No Provision for Support of
Wife Before Decree.
TAYLOR SUIT IS DECIDED
High Tribunal Rules That There Is
Xo Authority in Oregon Statutes
for Granting Living Ex
pense During Suit.
Temporary alimony, pending final
decree in divorce or marriage annul
ment proceedings, cannot be granted
legally in Oregon, according to a de
cision of the Supreme Court rendered
last Tuesday in the case of Charles D.
Taylor against Mrs. Minnie H. Taylor.
Suit money, or sums sufficient to
cover attorneys' fees, witnesses' fees
and necessary expenses in traveling In
attending the case, and money for the
care, custody and maintenance of minor
children of the marriage, during the
pendency of the suit, are especially
provided for by the statute and re
ceived the approval of the Supreme
Court; but no provision for the sup
port of the wife pending the action is
found in the statute which provides for
alimony, the court held.
"We find no statutory authority for
allowing the wife alimony for her sup
port ... In a suit for divorce, ex
cepting when a decree of divorce is
granted," Justice Ramsey announces In
making the decision for the court. Aft
er a decree is granted the court may
direct that alimony be paid as has
been the practice heretofore.
Permanent alimony was not attacked
In the case taken to the higher court
by an order made by Judge Eakin. in
the Clackamas County Circuit Court,
directing Mr. Taylor to pay hie wife
38665 alimony for living expenses dur
ing the pendency j his suit to annul
their marriage. The same day the order
of alimony was made the suit was dis
missed. The order allowing the tem
porary alimony was set aside by the
higher court.
Law Is Interpreted.
In refusing to sanction temporary
alimony, the court called attention to
the sections of Lord's Oregon laws,
which authorize any married woman
whose husband is able to support her,
but neglects to do so, to maintain a
suit against him to obtain a decree,
compelling him to contribute to her
support and the support of her minor
children. These sections authorize an
action for nonsupport. and until a final
decree is granted a husband is liable
for the necessaries for his family. -
In a suit brought by the wife for that
purpose, courts of equity may compel
the husband, in proper cases, to pro
vide for her support, but relief of that
sort cannot be obtained under section
612, the only section that provides .for
the payment of alimony, the court
held.
The ruling of the Supreme Court re
verses the procedure which has been
followed in this county, where Circuit
Court Judges have granted temporary
alimony on proper showing, even
though there be no children. The new
ruling will have a tendency to hasten
all divorce proceedings. Judge Kava
naugh said, that a final decree may be
made or denied, and permanent ali
mony granted accordingly. Judge Mc
Ginn said that he was not in sympathy
with the granting of temporary ali
mony, only in exceptional cases, and
believed the ruling of the Supreme
Court to be an accurate interpretation
of the statutes.
First Case Reopened.
Tn the suit in which the temporary
alimony question is determined Mr.
Taylor appealed from an order of
Judge Kakin directing him to pay his
wife $8665 alimony and $2500 attorney
fees. Mr. Taylor first obtained a de
fault judgment in his suit to annul his
marriage on grounds of false and
fraudulent representations, by Mrs.
Taylor, as to her character and life.
This Judgment was re-opened on mo
tion of attorneys for Mrs. Taylor, and
nearly a year later the case dismissed.
the decree of alimony and attorney
lees being made the same day, but im
mediately before the suit was dis
missed. Charles r. Taylor is a rich Tononah
miner, who was married in Portland In
1905 Mrs. Taylor Is living now in San
ta Ana, CaL The couple lived together
until 1909, but no children were born
to them. Suit for annulment of the
marriage was brought in 1911, in
which year an affidavit in support of
a motion for temporary alimony was
made. Another such affidavit was filed
In May. 19J2. The final order to pay
alimony and the dismissal of the suit
were made in May. 1913.
After considering sections 612 and
513 of the code, the court announced:
j. "We find no statutory authority for
allowing the wife alimony for her sup
port or surgical bills in a suit for di
vorce, excepting when a decree of di
vorce is granted. The question arises.
Is there any authority in this state.
independent ef statute, for granting
such alimony? Our statute expressly
provides that certain stated things may
be done in a divorce suit, before a de
cree is entered end that certain other
things may be done when a decree of
.divorce is granted. Can alimony pen
dente lite be granted for the support
or tne wire witnout statutory au
thority?"
Lena-thy Opinion Given.
After reviewing authorities in point
and similar statutes in other states.
Justice Ramsey In his opinion contin
ues:
"There is a conflict in the decisions
as to whether the common law. in re
lation to divorces and the granting or
alimony, is in force In the United
states, in the absence of statutes cov
ering those subjects. This court -held
In Hoffman v. Hoffman that 'the great
weight of judicial utterances, however.
Is to the effect that all authority 'to
award alimony in decreeing dissolution
of the marriage must Le found In the
statute expressly conferring the right.
whicn legislation is, in general, declar
atory of the ecclesiastical law.'
"We conclude that it is the estab
lished rule in this state that all claims
to alimony and allowance in suits for
divorce are to be determined by our
statute on that subject. This statute
should be reasonably construed. We
believe that the question, whether our
courts have authority to allow, pen'
dente lite, a wife alimony for her sup
port or medical treatment, has never
- been determined by this court. In
case or two the court has referred to
such allowance, but we believe such
references were mere dicta.
"The question for decision depends
upon the meaning of section 512. The
only allowances authorized by said
section to be made are: (1) 'That the
hUBband pay, or secure to be paid, to
the clerk of the court such an amoun
.of money as may be necessary to en

HERE in the .Portland schools' a
movement similar to the experi
ment started in Cleveland, O.,
looking to the preservation of the
teeth of children, through demonstra
tion of their proper care, has just been
started by the Portland Dental Society,
under the leadership of Dr. W. C.
Adams, its president, co-operating
with City Superintendent Alderman
Principal Van Tyne, of the Buckman
School. So far the demonstrations
have been confined to . the Buckman
school building. East Twelfth and
East Burnslde streets. Dr. Adams or
ganized the system in this school
through the tooth-brush drills among
the children. In view of the enthusiasm-
shown by the children, the
movement bids fair to develop into a
demonstration similar to the "Cleve
land Squad."
Every afternoon at 1 o'clock Dr. Ad
ams takes a roomful of children and
puts them through a drill in the use
of the tooth brush, after which the
teachers carry on the dally drills.
Children Line Up at Sink.
The little tots, and the older pupils
as well, each with his or her Individ
ual brush, line up along the sides of
a long sink, especially built for the
purpose, with jets of running water,
and go through the drills with almost
military precision. The eagerness with
which each of these youngsters goes
into the drills seems to show that they
themselves realize that the care of
their teeth is a good thing.
Some time ago the dentists made a
systematic examination of the teeth
of the Portland pupils and the sub
urban schools, disclosing that 90 per
able the wife to prosecute or defend
the suit, as the case may be'; and (2)
tor the care, custody and maintenance
of the minor children of the marriage
during the pendency of the suit."
Provision Blade for Children.
'This section authorizes the court to
require the husband to provide funds
to enable the wife to prosecute or de
fend the suit as the case may be, and
for the maintenance of the minor chil
dren during the pendency of the suit.
but nothing is said in said section con
cerning the support of the wife pen
dente lite. Section 513 authorizes the
court, when a decree of divorce Is
granted, inter alia, to grant a decree
'for the recovery of the party in fault
such an amount of money, in gross or
in installments, as may be just and
proper for such party to contribute to
the maintenance of the other.' Sec
tion 512 expressly authorizes the court
to require the husband to provide
funds to enable the wife to maintain
or defend the suit, and for the main
tenance of minor children; but it omits
AURORA COUPLE SURPRISED ON 40TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
in, in j i ..
MR. AND MRS. M. LARSE.V.
Mr. and Mrs. M. Larsen. of Aurora, Or., were the inspiration of a
pleasant surprise party given by their friends Sunday, April 19, to
honor their 40th wedding anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Larsen were
married at Black River Falls, WIs April 22, 1874. There they made
their home until the Fall of 1902, when . they moved to Oregon.
Twelve . children were born. The following children were among
those present on Sunday: Mrs. E. T. Drews, of Portland; Mrs.
C. N. Oathis, of Canby; Misses Theollne, Nora and Cora. They also
have 15 grandchildren, only two being present, Dorothy and Lucille
Drews. A very dainty luncheon was served, furnished by the friends.
Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. j. Erickson, Mr. and Mrs.
O. Wrolstad and family, Mr. and Mrs. C. Knutsen and family, Mrs.
Oathis, Mrs. Roness, C. N. Oathis and Mrs. H. Zlegler. Friends and
relatives left with the sincere hopes that they may all be present to
celebrate their golden wedding 10 years hence.
DAILY DENTAL DRILL OP PUPILS.
cent had decayed teeth and diseased;
or faulty mouths. . Similar examina
tions have been in vogue in some of
the European countries for several
years, and many of our states are fa
voring similar inspection.' The Port
land dentists, however, seem to be the
pioneers in this field of public work on
the Pacific Coast. The value and pur
pose of these examinations lie in the
fact that they furnish the means for in
forming the people of necessary facts,
which they could not get otherwise, viz,
that teeth in proper condition mean
food properly cared for in the mouth
and the absence of the ill-health attrib
utable to poor mastication of food.
System Yet Abridged. -
Xo arrangements, as yet. have been
made for the introduction of the tooth
brush drills in the other city schools,
but those acquainted with the work
now under way at the Buckman build
ing will watch the experiment with a
great deal of interest. It impresses the
observer as one of the best tips for
sound health that has been advanced in
a long time. Of course, the school drills
are not intended to cover the system
atic care of the mouth, but simply to
give the children the .Ideal method
which they should carry home and use
there, the daily school drill serving to
keep the matter continually in their
minds. Dr. W. C. Adams. In speaking
of the experiment started at the Buck
man building, said:
"In this day of learning and science
the profession of dentistry is coming to
the front with some very interesting
demonstrations as to the benefits to be
derived from the proper care of chil
dren's teeth. The most notable demon
stration along these lines was started
in Cleveland. Ohio, about five years ago
to authorize the court to require the
husband to provide for the mantenance
of the wife pendente lite. Section 51?
expressly provides that by the decree
of divorce the court may provide for
the recovery of money from the party
in fault, for the support of the other
party."
"We . conclude that the Legislature
did not Intend that a husband should
be required to provide support for his
wife pendente lite and intended that
that matter should not be passed upon
until a decree of divorce should be
granted. The wife could proceed un
der sections 7040 and 7041 to obtain
support pendente lite, and under our
statute, section 7039, Lord's Oregon
Laws, the husband is liable for the
support of the family. Probably the
wife might exonerate him from this li
ability by misconduct We hold that
the court below exceeded its authority
in allowing the defendant JS665 for her
support pendente lite, and fo a surgi
cal operation. The court below allowed
the plaintiff also $2500 as attorneys'
fees in said suit."
by a public-spirited dentist. Dr. W. G.
Ebersole, who has since become known
Nation-wide as the father of the oral
hygiene movement. His first work was
in the nature of an experiment upon a
class of 40 public school pupils, of low
mental and physical makeup, to deter
mine just what could be done for them
by putting their teeth in a somewhat
normal condition. The results were
marvelous and opened the eyes of the
dental profession the land over.
Poorer Pupils All Needed It.
"Most of the children in this class of
40. coming from poorer homes or the
slums, had never had any attention
paid to their mouths, and it need not be
said that all needed it. So the doctors
went to work on them, putting their
teeth in proper repair, removing ad
enoids, straightening up defective teeth
and educating the youngsters how prop
erly to clean their teeth and care for
them. Marked improvements in the
school work of these children began to
be shown shortly after the dental work
was well started, and. within a year,
they had practically doubled their men
tal efficiency, while physically they
were better specimens by far than when
the treatment was started.
"The results obtained in this remark
able test comported exactly with the
utterances of an expert on juvenile
criminology. Dr. Henry J. Jantusz, who
says, after an exhaustive study in pris
ons and in schools for the defective,
that the child with -poor teeth is in
erave danger of becoming a criminal, or
at least morally defective. In fact the
20th century dentists tell us that de
formatives of the face, hideous teeth,
improper nourishment and moral per
version are all a sequence of neglected
teeth."

figures Are Alleged.
PORTLAND. Or.. April 24. (To the
Interstate Bridge Commission.) The
Union-Avenue Development Club begs
leave to submit for your consideration
what It hopes may be its final appeal
in regard to the interstate bridge ap
proach. The location already decided upon
has been asked for by almost every
development club in the city, and your
action is Indorsed by an overwhelming
majority of the citizens of Portland.
We have demonstrated by figures
that cannot be disputed that for much
more than half of the people of Port
land a round trip to Vancouver would
be almost two miles longer by way of
Derby street than by way of Union
avenue. We have demonstrated that
for all of the citizens of Clarke County,
and for not less than 85 per cent of
the entire City of Portland, such a trip
by way of Derby street would be more
than a mile the' longest over any of
the Willamette River bridges and near
ly two miles the longest by way of the
three south bridges. We have shown
that less than 15 per cent of the people
of Portland would be better served by
the Derby-street route.
Ferry Carries 1,000,000.
More than 1,000,000 passengers have
crossed by way of the Vancouver ferry
during the past year. Many millions
will cross the bridge in the years to
come. It will be little short of an out
rage to force upon all this immense
army of people the expense of time and
trouble Involved in this extra travel.
It would be a burdensome tax in com
parison with which the saving of over
(100,000 by way of Derby street would
be a mere pittance. Cheapness of con
struction is desirable, but It is a false
economy that takes no note of the im
mense aggregate burden which this ex
cess of one or two miles of travel dally
would impose upon the patrons of the
bridge. A short and expeditious route
for the convenience of both freight and
passenger traffic is the vital, tne essen
tial and the all-important question in
volved in the controversy.
Your Commission and the people un
derstand that -the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company has been in
jected into this discussion simply as a
convenient "goat." You are not de
ceived by the suggestion that adoption
of the Union-avenue route will throttle
railway traffic. The demand for equal
privileges to all railways and for every
privilege that the necessities of travel
and traffic require is universal. It is
not an issue and it cannot be made an
issue in discussing the relative merit
of the two approaches.
Union Avenue Declared Popular.
The decision of your Commission by
a vote of 6 to 1 has the overwhelming
indorsement of the taxpayers, whose
money is building the bridge. The
movement that is being promoted for
a reconsideration is not a spontaneous
movement, and it Is not indorsed by
the great body of taxpayers. A mass
meeting called in this Interest on the
Peninsula was an utter disappoint
ment, both in numbers and enthusiasm.
A mass meeting at Vancouver de
clined, after a prolonged discussion, to
take any action in favor of reconsid
eration. There are corporate interests
of immense wealth that can well af
ford to undertake the construction of
the Derby-street route at a figure
with which the small holders of prop
erty along Union avenue cannot hope
to compete, but the lnteersts of the
immense majority of the people are
not to be jeopardized and juggled in
this way. The tax levy should build
the bridge and the approach. The in
terests of the people alone should con
trol, and all corporation subsidies
should be refused and condemned. The
preposterous suggestion that over 85
per cent of the people should be con
tent with the present rickety and per
ishable wooden approach, whicn re
quires constant renewal, while the
$500,000 voted by the taxpayers should
be devoted to the construction of an
approach that is in the interests of
less than 15 per cent of the people
cannot be seriously considered.
Referring to the published report or
the engineers employed by the friends
of the Derby-street route, we respect
fully Bugegst that it is a matter of
common knowledge that the profes
sional jealousies of doctors and musi
cians and civil engineers have not
tended to inspire the greatest conn
dence or respect for their opinions.
As the gentlemen named have sug
Rested in their report tnat Air. iar
rlngton was apparently biased, we de
sire to call the attention oi your non
orable body to the fact that they, after
the matter has been repeaseaiy ex
plained both at publlo meetings and in
the press, persist tn aaoing over ,-
000 to the cost of the Union-avenue
aDDroach. all of which Is to be paid
by abutting property owners and not
one cent of which comes out of the
bridge fund. Other discrepancies will
be discussed when analyzed by the
contracting engineers.
Contention Is Decried.
We desire further to submit that
they "have the Interests of our com
m unity most at heart" does not com
port wtlh their recommendation of an
approach that will impose upon nine
tenth of the patrons of the bridge an
extra burden of from over one mile to
nearlv two miles of travel every time
they make a round trip over the
bridge. While advocating a circuitous
route that Is in tne mieresi oi io
than 15 per cent of the people, they
mure-out that "now is 'the time to de
cide whether or not this Is a bridge
for all of the people." It certainly is.
and, further quibbling should not be
permitted to nullify a decision that
was so manifestly in the interest of
the public ,
rn reconsideration will call for an
other. The people are tired and sick
of the contention. To reopen the
nueation . would simply add bitterness
to an already bitter controversy. The
onlv result would be useless recnmi
not inn And delay, so transparent is the
injustice of It and already so great Is
the tension tnat wouia hiuubi
tainly result In a resort to the courts
or the referendum, and a possible de
feat of the whole project. Knowing
the supreme advantages of the Union
oroach. its friends asked the
original bridge committee to give the
people of Multnomah County a chance
to cast an advisory vote upon the
question. They would welcome sucn
a vnt at this time if it were possible.
There is no public sentiment back of
this call for a reconsideration. The
decision already rendered is almost

(This is a fair sample.)
ot tne real article.
The public is beginning to demand
restorations that are esthetic Teeth
must no longer displav samDles of the
Jeweler's art; they must look, like teeth.
We Do Brldgework, Too.
Our condemnation of bridgework Is
urely and simply in favor of Alveolar,
ecause we know that Alveolar is so
far superior to bridgework that most
people after they have seen samples
and had the Alveolar work advantages
explained to them will not accept
oridgework at any price, except in sucn
cases where they cannot possibly af
ford the Alveolar, the price of which
3 the same as the best bridgework.
the standard price of which is SIO per
tooth the world over, if made by first
clans dentists.
We are cutting the price "of bridge
work for a good and sufficient reason.
But we are not cutting the quality.
And when we tell you that we will do
for you as good or better bridgework
than any other dentist whose work will
compare favorably with ours at half
his price, we are not boasting. We
mean what we say. It Is the truth.
Therefore, if you cannot have Alveolar
work, on account of the cost, it will
most assuredly be to your financial
and physical, as well as vanity, inter
est to do business with us for bridge
work plates, crowns, etc
Alveolar Teeth Where Bridgework Is
Impossible.

three or four teeth or good roots left

lost two or more back teeth on one or
both sides. We can supply all that are
missing with perfect Alveolar Teeth,

fortable and life-everlasting. And
where bridgework is possible there is
no comparison between the two.
