Dr. Grant Assails
Divorce Laws
HEAVY VOTE IN
f
Rev. Dr. Percy Stickney Grant
rector of the Protestant Episeopa
church of the Ascension in New
York, has startled his theological
brethren by demanding that th
church canon on divorces should
be revised to permit far freer di
vorces. He declares the prescn
nnon aids only the rich and in
sists that divorced persons should
have the right to remarry. Dr,
Grant's remarks are particularly in
teresting because the church has re
used him permission to be married
to Mrs. PhiAip Lydig, who has di
vorced W. E. D. Stokes and Phillip
yiig.

Portland, Or., Sept. 12. To as
sist in the relief of the fruit grow
ers of the state who are hard hit
by the present rail strike, the
Oregon state chamber of commerce
has suggested that the week of
September 18-23 he designated as
'Canning Week" to be observed
throughout the state during which
housewives will be urged to can a
wo years' supply of fruit for fam
ily use.
Communications suggesting
Canning Week" have been sent
to more than one hundred com
mercial clubs and chambers of
commerce in Oregon. Governor
Olcott has been requested to place
his official stamp of approval up
on the project.
It is pointed out by state cham-1
er officials that the rail strike
as curtailed car service to points
east, especially in regard to re
frigerator service, with the result
that bumper fruit crops in Oregon
are in danger of being lost:
through lack of market. An in
creased volume of, home canning
will do much to relieve the situa
tion, it is believed. ,

Amundsen, Norwegian " explorer,
has undertaken bis daring flight
across the north pole from north
ern Alaska. This belief is strength
ened by the fact that the Nor
wegian government has asked the
well known Danish expjorer. Cap
tain Gottfried Hansen, to under
take a relief expedition.
Captain Hansen, who is today
working out a scheme for the ex
ploration of western Greenland
next spring, Is unable to accede
to the request, but in an interview
emphasizes the necesstly" pf send
ing an urgent relief expedition to
pick up Amundsen, whose airplane
crossing in his opinion la extra
ordinarily dangerous, it being vir
tually lnipossiDie to land any
where on the rough polar ice
without serious accident.
He believes Amundsen is apt to
land in the vicintly. of one of the
food depots which Hansen estab
lished In Grants land, and north
ernmost Greenland, but neverthe
less fears he wllj be unable to
reach Thule the northernmost
colony in Greenland should he
meet with least accident, ..

tion beaded by an explorer friend
of Captain Hansen will leave here

lieving the season was too far ad
vanced to permit of success. He
was said to have landed his plane
and equipment at Wainwrlght,
100 miles southwest of Point Bar
row, intending to make that place
the base of his flight.
Ice conditions In the Arctic off
the northern Alaskan coast were
declared to be the worst in many
years. Captain Amundsen's ship,
the Maud, was last reported to be
frozen in the ice near Wrangell
