NEW-FOUND FREEDOM IS CAUSING DIVORCE Women Are Like Children Out of School, Says Miss Lee, A Commenting on Case of Husband. Deserted Thrice. By Martha Lee “Divorce but represents the ‘growing pains’ of adjusting civilization,” a well-known bishop said not long ago.

The good man would doubtless be surprised, but not necessarily pessimistic then if he would peruse the statistical figures just released which show that — While there were nearly three times as many marriages in Marion county in 1926 as divorces the ratio of divorces is decidedly on the increase. Os a total of 3,804 couples who began wedded life, 1,371 were divorced. The “new freedom” that women are feeling, is undoubtedly a big factor in all this. Like children let out of school we are metaphorically kicking up our heels. The wine of freedom is heady stuff though, and for some time we may seem to be making rather reckless dashes here and there, but — As “growing pains” the bishop refers to, belong only to a restricted and developing period of life, so the portion of divorce, brought on by woman's too vivid realization that she doesn’t have to “stand for many things she once thought inevitable, will gradually smooth out of our social system. His Wives Leave Him Dear Martha Lee: I guess this would ceem a joke if I heard it of any other man. Unfortunately it la anything but that to me. Fourteen years ago 1 was married, gloved the girt and was myself happy for years with her. Then a man per■faded her that she was abused (we lived a farm then and she worked pretty hard) so she left me for him. On grounds of desertion I easily got a divorce, in 1922. I married again Ili'ed in hell for about a year and a half and. when that woman left me, I congratulated myself. I thought T would never marry again but I foolishly did so—only last October. Last Saturday. I came home to an empty house. My wife had moved out the furniture and I have not seen her since Pon t women appreciate a man that treats them right? It does not seem like it A GOAT. You've certainly been unfortunate In your life partners. There arc thousands of women who certainly would appreciate a good man, which you think you have been. Can it be though that you have faults that you do not yourself recognize? Before you take the fatal plunge again (if you ever do) you’d better get a psycho-analyst test and

Bronight’s outstanding radio event m the broadcasting of an address by Rear Admiral William H. G. Bullard, U. S. N. (retired', before the National Press Club, Washington, D. C. This is the first time since his appointment as chairman of the Federal Radio Commission lie has addressed a radio audience. Secretary of Commerce Hoover, under whose department radio was regulated until the appointment of the commission, was scheduled to be present to introduce the speaker, but had gone South to represent the Government in the flooded lower Mississippi valley. In addition to Admiral Bullard's address entertainment will be furnished by members of the Capitol Family and Allen McQuhae, tenor, stars of National Broadcasting Company programs over the eastern chains. This feature, lasting from 8 to 9 p. m„ will be transmitted by WRC, Washington, WEAF, New York, and other stations of the Red Network. The hour preceding the National Press Club program will feature “The Yankee Clipper,” a motion picture. Roxy and His Gang will be in the Roxy Theater studio for this purpose, contributing a stunt of distinct novelty and unmistakably nautical flavor, the movie being a story of America’s commercial supremacy upon the seas in the romantic days in the middle of the last century. This, too, is carried by the WEAK hook-up. The big athletic event today is to *made a treat for radio fans by IP, Philadelphia, when the radiophone sends out minute descrip-

AFTER PERIOD OF TORTURE, MAN FINDS RELIEF FROM ITCHING Skin now entirely healed “Last June I had an Itching irritation on my back, principally between the shoulders, and also on the back of my hands, extending to the shoulders. The skin was apparently clear of any disorder, but the itching was intense. After a vigorous rubbing with a Turkish towel there would appear two spots, about an inch apart, which bled from the effects of the rubbing. I used Bay Rum and other lotions before I tried your Resinol Ointment. At bedtime my back received a thorough washing with Resinol Soap and a very generous application of Ointment, after which I would rest quite comfortably until 2 or 3 in the morning, when I received another application. A third upon arising would be enough to make me feel at ease during the day. Thanks to the above treatment, the trouble is now entirely healed.” (Signed) John W. Matthews, 1 Crystal Place, Charlestown (Boston), Mass., Dec. 18.

see if there isn’t some reason for such misfortunes as yours. His Folks ‘Razz’ Him Dear Martha Lee: I am 18 and verv fond of a girl my sister goes with and she is fond of me (I thinki. but I have to talk with her outside for if they know at my home that t have been to a show with her or anything like that, they ratz mej which makes me mad. I work and make good money. Now this girl is very beautiful. I think of her all the time f am working. I want to know very much if she loves me. Will you tell me how to find out? TWO STARS. Well, you might try asking her — especially a little later—say a couple of years from now. You're quite young, to commit yourself too far now. Keep on friendly terms with the girl you admire so much. It’s all right to take her to shows occasionally. Don’t mind your folks “razzing.” How can it harm? They Can't ‘Get Ahead’ Dear Martha Lee: What do you think about a couple that cannot get ahead at all? They get along fairly wel! when together, but it seems they never can keep up expenses or keen a home together. Should they get a divorce? Is it wortli while to try? WORRIED. Well, 1 should say it is. If their only trouble is that they are limited in finances, they have plenty of company for that’s a most common complaint and ,if all married folks who find it difficult to keep well above board financially were to apply for diverces. the courts would certainly be flooded. He Was Not Divorced Dear Martha Lee: Almost three years ago. I married a man that told me he was divorced. We have been together since then but a few months ago I found out that he had never got his decree. Now I don’t know what to do. Do I have to have my marriage annulled before I am free, or how shall I proceed? MUCH WORRIED. I think you don’t have to proceed legally at all. You are free already, just the same as if the ceremony had never been pronounced. It Is unfortunate that this experience came to you, but the law would not hold you responsible, I am sure.

Temptation Is Lesson Theme

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for May 1. The Danger of Sudden Temptations. Mark 14:53, 54, 66-71; Luke 22:61-62. By Wm. E. Gilroy, D. D. Editor of The < ongrrgatlonaliit Temptations would lose much of their danger if they could be deprived of their sudden and unexpected aspect. There are great driving temptations that are in the substratum of life, that beset the soul with all the pressure of a fundamental urge. But for these the soul, especially of the man whose heart Is Inclined toward truth and righteousness, finds something of its preparation in discipline and in the elemental impulses of good.

It is the temptations that come upon one unawares that are apt to be overwhelming, sweeping one away before he has had time to realize their fury or even to understand the full import of what he is doing in yielding /to them. Two Kinds of Trials Such temptations are of two sorts. There are those that are simply unanticipated. A man may know in £ general way that he is subject to them, at least that are not foreign to something that he has discovered in his own nature. Against such temptations a man can do much to prepare himself by forethought. But there are other temptations that are as unforseen in their nature as they are in their appearance. They strike a man in some place of weakness or desire of which he has never before been conscious. He W[ have seen guefe temptations *s-

sail the life of his fellow men, but he may have lulled himself Into a certain security because, he has never imagined that he would be subject to these particular allurements. It is temptations of this sort that are calculated to destroy almost in a moment the life work and character that an individual may suppose that he had established upon a basis of sincerity and truth. Not long ago a minister was convicted of a most foul and degrading sin. The discovery of his wrongdoing forced him to flee from his home and work and from the commnnity and fellowship of those who had loved and respected him. It was about as abject and terrible a fall as could very well have been conceived, for the man had occupied great pulpits and had been highly honored.

The comment of the general public, not always sufficiently sympathetic toward such a man’s tragedy, might very well have been that this man was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, that all through the years he had been a hypocrite with foul and degrading thoughts and purposes in his private life when he had commended pure and holy things in his public service. A Sincere Man But what was the truth concerning this man? Those who had known him most intimately in the close contacts of student life declared that in all their associations with him they had found him 4pecullarly free from anything that suggested les&ieu In speech or; action.

They thought of him as one of the most pure-minded and sincere of men. There can be little doubt that he was In his highest and best aspirations exactly what these fellow students thought him. It is doubtful whether, during the years of his able ministry, he had ever had brought home to him the temptations that ultimately assailed him. Tt is doubtful whether he thought of himself as capable of the degredation that had overwhelmed others. Paul understood these things perfectly well. Surely he might have thought himself as being beyond temptation, he had so disciplined himself in ways of honor and rectitude and service; hut he had left on record the fact that once in the highest and holiest moments of his life he buffeted and disciplined himself lest, as he said, having preached the Gospel to others he himself should be a castaway. Peter lacked something of that philosophic spirit and practical common sense of Paul. He was impulsive and self-confident. He,was so sure of himself that it constituted in him a sort of pride, a sense almost of separation from his felloemen. He did not think of himself as quite of the same flesh and blood as others. Few of us are like Paul and most of us are like Peter. We may not have Peter’s self-confidence, but the great majority of us have an undue sense of safety. Most of us imagine that we are free from cer-

At Riverside

“The Haunted House,” new and mystifying amusement device just opened to the public at the Riverside Amusement Park, is proving a great attraction to the pleasure seekers who are visiting the resort in exceptionally large number for so early in the season, according to A. W. Colter, park manager, who states almost two thousands persons made the trip through the house Sunday. “It’s a goat-getter,” was the verdict of those who entered the new concession, where people walk - on walls and ceilings of rooms, where water runs uphill and where many other things “all wrong” happen. There is absolutely no danger attached to the “haunted house,” says Mr. Colter. No tricks are played on patrons and the whole mystery connected with the place is hut in the patrons’ minds. With the advent of warmer weather. the park is running practically full blast, although the official opening date will not occur ui)til the middle of May.
