PAGB BIX. DAILY CAP I IT Ai JOUBNA1. SALEM, OREGON, MONDAY, JUNE 9, 1913. Dr. McGaw Arouses Much Enthusiasm in Regard to Church Meeting to be Held in Portland. Before a lurgc and enthusiastic union church gathering in the armory last night, Dr. James S. Mefiaw, of Penn sylvania, stato general secretary of the National Reform Association, here to sjieak in behalf of tho World Christian Citizenship Conferenee, delivered his message. Dr. McOaw told of this citi zenship movement, whieh had its com mencement during tho dark days of the ( ivil War, ami since then has spread through tho different states from the Atlantic to tho Pacific. The sppnker said that Portland was chosen for the of allowing them to put forth their an cient customs. Br. McGaw then spoke of the other purposes of the conference to promul gate a change in the present marriage and divorce laws, ami to regulate the sale and manufacture of liquor. Among tho churches of this city there are to lie chosen ten delegates from each church to attend tho confer ence, which is to ue neid in rortianu Juno 29 to July .

Much maligned as is New York about its divorces end general disregard for the sccrediic-'s of matrimony, facts and figures show that the metropolis is really the safest American city for connubial bliss. !)o spito the popular ideas about the wick edness of (iotham, the records show that divorce is not the fearsome .nen nee to Father Knickerbocker's house hold as is tho general belief. For in stance, St. Louis and Cincinnati both are more easy going in tho matter of dissolving the marriage tie, and St. Louis holds the country's palm for its quick divorce batting average. New York's goodness, whero divorce is concerned, is proved by official rec ords of the courts of jurisdiction in the four counties embraced by the mu nicipality of Greater New York. It !b a record to which tho citizens may point with pride and a record wihcL other cities of tho first class might view with alarm in making a sociologi cal self-examination. In the four counties of New York, in the year 1012, there were granted 1782 divorces, as against 52,282 mar riages, about one knot untied to every twenty-nine marriages. Were it not for Brooklyn 's numerous lapses fron the domestic ideal, the city's record would bo much bettor. Last year, in that borough, there were granted 712 divorces and the number of marriages was 14,587. In New York county, eompriiing Manhattan and the Bronx, which prop erly Ts Now York City, there wero 101.) divorces and 31,780 marriages, or about one divorce to thirty-one marriages. In contrast to this record for a city of upwards of 5,000,000 population, Cin cinnati and St. Louis, much smaller, aro running a closo race for high mark in the divorce percentage column. In St. Louis last yenr 1143 divoreo suits were filed and 1101 granted, an aver age of ono divorce to every six mar riages. Cincinnati untied flit mar riages in 117.1 suits filed, an average of ono divorce to every six nmrruges. All of which only goes to show that while Clotlinin's police record may be unsavory, its general attitude toward the mnrringe tie is much more respect ful on the general average than the attitude of St. Louis and Cineinnnti, so give the devil his due. shooting at pictures of animals and other objects. At the crack of the gun, the film automatically stopped long enough for the shooter to see where he hit the mark. The affair was such a success that "hunting parties" will be organized as a summer diver sion in tho Big Town. A few Ainericnn boys who can sing will have nn enviable existence when a boys' school and dormitory now be ing built in connection with the Cathe dral of St. John the Divine is com pleted. There the boys who will sing in the big cathedral choir will be housed and trained. Not only will their voices be looked after, but their gen- einl education as well will be paid for by the church. Learned masters will instruct them, motherly women will look after their bodily welfare, musi cians train them and athletic instruc tors attend to their physical develop ment. The choir boys of St. John the Pi vine will be taken care of in much the same manner that Grace church, down town, looks after its youthful singers. These boys, when their parents agree to give their services to the church choir, are turned over bodily until such time as their voices change, and they are no longer useful to the choir. While they are members of the choir, the boys have all the advantages of the highest grade boarding school. It costs them nothing and they get no pay for singing. They trade their boy ish voices In return for an excellent education. They have a dormitory fur nislled with every comfort, shower baths, a gymnasium, library and all that. Their health is looked after by matrons and athletic instructors. Their meals are cooked by special chefs, and masters of high degree teach them what they would get in only the best prepntory academies of the country. But they belong to the church. Their parents turned them over to the church authorities and see them no more, ox- opting for several weeks in the hot summer months, until their voices begin to change. Then they sre sent home. Hut they have their education and the benefit of strict disciplinary training to show their sojourn in New York. In the choir of (Irnoo church there are now twenty six boys, many of them from states far from New York. Ono i. from California. The church has a waiting list of inure than 200 boys whose parents are anxious to have them educated in return for their singing. ' X-RAYS. In Indianapolis an ordinance requires woman to wear undergarments if they wear split skirts. This brings up the question as to the age when going bare footed and barelegged ceases to bo per missible. The police may object to the split skirt exhibitions, but they will find few men endorsing their ideas. What is the skirt split for, unless it is to show what is beneath itf The Oregonian and Oregon Journal aro having a childish controversy on their edditorial pages as to which was bewildered" over the election returns. They have demonstrated that each is correct, and that not only both papers, but the readers of both are bewildered. "You're drunk again, Henry," said Mrs. Smitthers, as her husband tried to carry a load upstairs about 2 a. m. that he should have made two trips for. "Thas' right, Mary," gurgled Henry. "If I ain't, I spent 3.65 'thout gettin' my money's worth." The referendum bills will now all probably have an inning before the su preme court. If Judge Galloway's in terpretation of the law is sustained by the supreme court, the entire lot of bills attacked by the referendum will be held up until the election in 1914, but this will give Governor West a chance to make the appointments in case the bills are sustained.

As the great flock of carrier pigeonB circle about to get thoir bearings for their home cotes, several aeroplanes and a Zeppelin airship will also be sweeping over tho stadium. Tomorrow's events in tho stadium will bo principally of a spectacular typo and to please the Kaiser, will have a strong military taste.

These troops will appear for the first time in the now iiiinrnainented "field gray" uniforms recently adopted by the Germany army. Club swinging, foot racing, turning and a football match for the Crown Prince cup, which decides the championship of Germany, are on the program.
