New York, April 29 Is the unl
form divorce law approaching?
Recent legal proceedings in sev
eral well known families bate
made the need of a federal divorce
law seem imperative.
The National league of Wom
en Voters, now in convention in
Cleveland, has recognized the ne
cessity for such legislation. Part
of the program of the convention
includes discussion of the divorce
problem and the adoption of reso
lutions to liberalize and simplify
the laws surrounding It
Mrs. James Lees Laid a w, one of
the New York members of the or
ganisatlon, announced today tn.it
not only divorce, but kindred sub
jects, pertaining to the protection
of women and children, such as
child labor laws, will be discussed
at the convention.
"I thoroughly believe.'' she said
today, "In a program for liberaliz
ing and unifying divorce laws.
"Part of our general plan for
the codification of laws, and their
unification, Includes not only con
sideration of divorce laws, but
those which affect children.
Further approval of the league's
program was expressed by a young
woman lawyer, Miss Lucille Pugh,
who agrees that the present sys
tem of marriage and divorce Is In
adequate and unjust.
"I believe that marriage should
r looked upon us a civil contract
tfntch can be dissolved or abro
gated when conditions change and
When it is proper and light to do
to," she said.
"The happiness of two people Is
the one thing on which the state
must depend for its existence.
"And that happiness should be
guarded. It Is the states duty In
protect It.
"By standing In the way of
more liberal divorce laws the state
la not doing its duty. It is nut inn
Its own roots thereby.
"But I would not be too lax.
Such grounds as cruelty are often
Interpreted too leniently. A wom
an may say It Is cruel it her hus
band, does not kiss tier when mi,
leaves for business In the morn
Ing.
Such a reason for divorce, If
ever made one of the grounds,
should be carefully defined.
"Divorce should be granted
when two people find It Impossi
ble to be a help to each 01 her. That
Is the whole idea. '
"The state should not make tt
an obligation on either party to
the unhappy marriage to resort to
collusion.
"How could the laws be uni
fied? I think If a constitutional
amendment could be passed, mak
ing the law uniform, but leaving
the enforcement of It to the state,
It would be very satisfactory.
Then people wouldn't liuve to go 'o
a federal court for a divorce, but
to the state courts as usual. This
would be a great protection to
women and to children us well.
"I don't know how it would
work out If it would be easy to
adjust or not. If not, then we
ought to find some efficient way.
"One report, which may be in
correct, ban it that the League of
Women Voters would place two
years as the period between mar
riage and divorce. This Is too long.
If people can't get along for two
years It Is a serious thing. 1 don 1
know whether that means that
they want a woman to wait twt
years to get a divorce, or two years
till she may re-marry after being
divorced. In either case, It is too
long.
many people, it cruelly were
made a ground, would say that in
compotataETAOIN KT -fl eCe.nta
cnmpatablllty should be synony
nious. It s easy to say that so
many things represent cruelty.
"The point should be that If two
can't honestly get along together
the state that married tlem should
give them relief."

JAZZ AND LONDON
TO BE DIVORCED
London, April 30. Jazz ari
London are to know each other
no more. The shimmy shake Is
likewise to go.
The golliwog glide, the alll
gator azzle, brontosaurus bump,
ana every other variety of
shake, wiggle, wuzzle and glide
have boen tabooed In New
York, but London has not gone
quite so far.
London dancing instructors
this season will taboo wriggly,
squirming jazz and shimmy
shakes from their curriluin.
Dancing classes In future
will be nothing but waltz ban
quets, with perhaps an occa
sional foxtrot thrown in.
There Is, however, one ray of
hope for the confirmed Jazzer.
He or she will not have to ape
IiIh or her Victorian ancestors,
by waltzing all night and day,
as It has been decided that the
straight one-step, and the fox
trot, without the animal-named
variations, will be permitted.
In the place of "Alabama

Saturday Last Day to Attend
tne factory lxiudii or ine ramous
Miss Elizabeth McCarthy and Miss Nita Buccanon, with a portion
of the Al G. Barnes "50 Tons of Elephants," coming to Salem Satur
day, May 7, with the big circus.
One of the most valued posses
sions of the Al G. Barnes big four
ring wild animal circus which
comes to Sulem, Saturday, May 7,
is a baby camel, the only one of Its
kind in this eountry.
The camel was ushered into this
world In the Pacific ocean on
board a ship which brought to the
United States the first consign
ment of wild animals to arrive
since the world's war ended, two
years ago. All of these animals
were obtained by trainers sent to
Africa by Mr. Barnes as soon as
the armistice was signed.
The young camel is described as
being so ugly that It Is really at
tractive looking. Like a calf it is
built on lines striking for their
clumsiness, the legs and ears be
ing predominant.
Mr. Barnes lias not an yet named
his nawest find, and hundreds of
suggestions have ben received in
the few days that have elapsed
since Its arrival in this country,
so that It should not be difficult
for him to decide upon a proper
appelation.
Camels and elephants born in
captivity rarely live a year or two,
but Mr. Barnes has hopes that his
unexpected addition to the camel
section of his menagerie will shat
ter traditions in this respect.
The baby camel take, naturally
to the circus parade, accordint t;
word received from thj ehow, bu:
causes its mother many moments
of woiry by insisting upon tak
its own sweet time in covering t U;
route, being as frequently a block
or two Demna tne cainpoes
ahead of them. The Ddby carrel
will be seen in the Barnes circos
parade here Saturday, May 7, auu
also in the menageries of the tilr
cus.
