DIVORCE, ETC.
T
Ye Smudge Pot
By Arthur Perry
In most of llio Mon.lay luornlni; pa
nels of tho country tlnne appeared an
item that a patent medicine, towil:
Wlno of J'opsin contained 25 per cent
alcohol. The puhlic now knows tho
liorrlhle trulli, and drug Htores with
' this hellish concoction on their shelves
yielding to popular deinatnl, heaved
the same Into the alley.
. Things were looking prelty black
until a Harvard professor discovered
that Ncliuln Drier No. 581 was travel
ing away from the earth.
"'YOU OA N'T HEAT WHITE'S TOII
CHOCKItlKS" (Ad Montague Mes
senger). Fair warning.
UK SAN JOSE MEKCCJiY is inncli exercise! over the divore.
evil. Id tin extensive editorial it is conclusively shown, that if
divorces continue to increase at the present rate, they will soon out
number the marriages! As'a remedv more strict divorce laws are
urged.
Probably divorce is too easy in many states. But divorce is too
difficult in others. "What is needed is a federal divorce law, attainin
a haty medium between the two extremes, which would standardize
and stabilize the procedure.
The present method of travelling about from slate to state to shake
the marriage bond is demoralizing. Jlarriage is not a state, but a nn
tional institution. There is no good reason for 48 different methods
of divorce, one method, provided it is properly arranged, should suf
fiee for a solution of most martial problems.'
.Meanwhile it might be well to cast an eve upon marriage. Di
vorce is too easy, but marriage is much easier. Perhaps the law can
provide no cheek, but there should be encouragement to a social cus
tom, which would allow some slight pause, before the obligations of
matrimony are assumed.
T'nder present conditions, the average groom, exercises far less
care in the selection of a life mate than he does in the selection of an
automobile. Few prospective wives put as much thought on the char
acter and qualifications of the man they are to wed, as upon the char
acter of the gown they are to wear when they wed him.
This is an age of specialization. Some one sliould specialize on
marriage. .Scientific charts should be compiled tiliuwiiiir the relative
values and dangers of propinquity, a peach .blown complexion, a eu
pids bow mouth, smooth talk, rough manners, flashy neck ties, short
.skirt . etc., etc. And then some good exhorter like Biily Sunday
tdiould be engaged to travel from place to place and explain them.
Education, that's the great need. The trouble today is that most
husbands and wives only learn about marriage by experience. Ex
perience may be the best teacher, but it is an all-fired expensive one.
If the potential brides and grooms of today, knew as much about the
nature 01 marriage as tlie.y do about jazz or facial calcimine, there
might be no fewer marriages, but there would certainly be less hasty
ones. And its the hasty, thoughtless marriage that breeds divorce
more than loose divorce laws.

KEEPING FAITH.
"V7"ESj YES, we'll do tlie best we eaii to keep our New Year
X pledges, and look with scorn on any man who loses nerve
and hedges. Temptations every hour assail, and say, "Your
pledges hurt you," but tip to date our vows prevail, mid we are
strong for virtue. AVc made our vows with main ami might, es
chewing habits eheesey. anil if our friends would treat us right,
our triumph would be' easy. J? inch would say to us, "(,'ee whiz'l
You bravo, repentant sinners, wo know how hard the struggle is,
but surely you'll be winners," wc! be inspired' to carry on, to
press the moral battle; alas, the words of James mid John are'
prone our souls to rattle. Too cynical are John and James; they
take it all for granted that we've gone back to those cheap
games1,from which we gallivanted. They laugh at all the snored
vows o'er which we brood and ponder; it is a shame the law al
lows such guys at large to wander. For they discourage soulful
jays who would old sins abandon, and when they've guyed us,
forty ways, we have no vows to stand on. Oh, Vender, 'as you
travel by the highways and the hedges, don't josh or jeer the
earnest, guy who's made a string of pledges. It may be vows all
suffer blight, but why should you remind him? Just help him
struggle to the light and leave his sins behind him.
How to Heat Climate.
Dere Kditur:
I have heard that many nennle in
this state and others are not plccscd
with the climatic conditions what pre
vail in the whereabouts of their
houses. Some of the time it is to hot
and the other periods is to cold. !
have gave tills a lot of due conside-
ratsbun und have formed a oninion
as how they can get any sort of the
weather what they want at anv time
of tho month in the year. .
Following is the correct method of
procedure to follow is the way what
a ideal and highly balanced tempera
ture can be got:
1. Find a valley where the heat Is
idee at some time in the year and
what is surounded by a high mounting
wlth slopes which is not to stca. A
brook of trout and evergreens in the
front of what is to be tho back yard
is not to be overlooked to furnish the
best of Invirenient.
2. Jiuild the house on stilts at the
base of tho mountain with alt modern
convenences except that pipes and
wires should not be attached to same.
Later a scries o led pipes and wires
on, drums with springs in to take up
the slak will be conslruekted.
3. If the mountain Is four miles
up from the roof or the house, eight
miles of track should be got and laid
up the Hide, of tho hill, each track
being paralel with tho other and
tacked to ties what are supposed to
hold them in placed Uetween the rib
bons of steal pi'.... another strip,
which lias got cogs on It. That part
Is not to be missed for all will he for
mint if the cogs left off tho track.
4. liulld up wheels under the
bouse and kick the stilts from under
same after the house has been took
to the rails which lead up the moun
tain's side.
5. Pipes and wires having been in
stalled, all is in ready ness for the
last touches. This hero Is a motor
what runs tho wheel meshing with
the cogs in the c-atur of the track,
attacked to tho inotor is a thermostat
what records the atmospheric condi
tions prevailing and raises or lowers
the house on the mountain side to
suit tho taste of yo tenant who can
set his tbermmoeter for twenty be
low when his wife wants to stay in
bed and not get him breakfast or de-
send into tlie valley when airplanes
get to thick In later years about the
top of the mound.
KKCA1MTCI.ATION: Maybe some
people will sny "What it you leave
tho house and it is real cold come
back from town and the weather has
taken a sudden turn for the hotter.
then maybe you have to walk up the
mountain to get home?" Hut not 1
tiling has been missed in tlie idea for
a small lever attached to the left side
of tlie red wire on tlie thermostat
throws it out of gear and the house
desends to the bottom of the hill
where it will repose until the owner
returns and throws tho lever when
igain you will be hoisted to tho height
what eorespondes with the tcmpcY
ture designated on thethermostat.
If your water pipes freeze at night
just go to tho bottom of your moun
tain In the morning and thaw them
out.
All meddlers Is warned as this here
is pending a patent.
