ARE PUT TO WORK Allen County Commissioners Provide Work for the Jail Prisoners. ON THE HOADS Os the County—First Squad Taken Out Yesterday on Spy Run Road. Allen county is providing a "work p unt" for its prisoners. The connty commissioners adopted a resolution Thursday, providing that nil able l>od|*ed prisoners tonfined In jail, over the, age of twenty-one years and who are i not first offenders, be put to work on - tonnty road building. Yesterday Deputy Sheriff W. li.' Fible, prison guard, took a squad of: six men out on Spy Hun avenue to' unload several cars of crushed stoii" received by tlte county. Under the resolution, which con forms to an act passed by the Indiana legislature several years ago. the prisoners may be employed front 7 to 12 o'clock in the morning and from 1 to 5 o’clock in the afternoon. They pre at all times under the care of a deputy sheriff and must be fed by the sheriff with food suited to manual labor which they arc required to per form. It is expected that i nthe beginning of road work on a large scale in the spring months, a large tent will be procured and the prisoners will be fed tnd housed right at the scene of the work. It would be manifestly impossible to bring them back to the jail tor each meal and at night t.nd expect | any degree of profitable work from them. As a result of the operation of the law, It is expected that there will, be a decided decrease in the jail population and that some of the chronic I drunks who have made the Allen county jail their home will seek newer and greener pastures.

The men were brought I her* about two weeks ago. together v it!' n car loud of other foreigners. ; end were to !>* placed at the factory.

SOCIETTS PRICE Is Cause of Divorce, Says Judge Fox, Richmond Jurist, Known Here. SEPARATION RESULTS From Desre for Appearance—Would Have Law Amended. Judge Henry C. Fox of Richmond, well known in this city, having sat as j special judge »n the Adan's circuit court, has the following to say con- 1 renting the present divorce law, ac i cording to the Richmond Palladium: "The high cost of living and society | <an beheld responsible for most of the I divorces of today.” said Judge Fox of the cir< uit court, today. "The divorce laws are so liberal that conditions! are becoming worse each year. 1 nev-l er hear a divorce case unless I ant forced to."

Judge Fox bases his statements on the grounds that society oi today i* teaching young girls to spend lieyond capacity und to. expect as much when they are married as before. For instance, take a girl who is accustomed to dancing, card playing and other social diversions," said the judge. "Young met: oi today can give the impression that they have lots of money while In reality, they often have nothing and are receiving small wages. Such a pair marries blindly and tiie girl still expects to attend dances, to drees with the same style as before Marriage and to keep up appearances to tiie nnfclt where they were before she was married. “The result is a hasty conference with a lawyer and a divorce suit is filed. Then after they have seen the fully of marriage and are divorced they see the wrong of their divorce and would return to eacli other If their pride did not prevent. if a divorce case is allowed to run over a year from tiie time it Is filed until It Is tried. In most cases It never comes to trial. If legislation fixed a year ns a minimum time for divorce case sto cometo trial, tiie num tier of divorces gragted would d*- < reuse by one-half.*' The Judge also bijleves that the only real grounds for a divorce ure drunkenness or a lain don men t. lie said. "Woman's suffrage was also scored by Judge Fox. who says the present rate of living lor women will uIG inately result in their taking hold of th* reins of government. "Whs’ will be<om* of the men when there is a woman on the circuit bench," oak* tiie Judge. -There trill i>" ii« chance for us then, or when then- Is a woman governor? Entire gubernatorial staff will constat of women. Tiie result is fttcou teivable." BEGINS BIG SALE.
