A Woman’s Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

T CAN NOT share the enthusiasm of those who regard the friendly divorce as a great achievement in education. It seems to me to signify rather the moral degeneration of a people who have forgotten how to be loyal. Open-mindedness has Its advantages, but when one becomes too open-minded one doesn t really believe in anything. These casual divorces do not prove we have made progress in adjustment. Thev mean, rather, that we are unable to endure opposition, or to meet the necessity for self-sacri-fice. In short, we are a bunch of softies who are becoming evaders of reality and sidesteppers of life. Probably the silliest reason ever thought up for the breaking of a marriage is that offered by James Rennie, who contends that because he and Dorothy Gish have attained the perfect mating, it is now necessary to part. “After perfection,” he explains, “there is no longer Incentive to continue the experiment.” That sort of thing is fine publicity, but no adequate explanation for divorce. And what an effect it has on the young! Without the ideal of permanence, marriage loses all its meaning and becomes merely an excuse for two people to live together. For it was established in the first place in order that mankind could have a plan for making homes and bringing up children. In certain of its modern aspects It is a makeshift arrange-

ment to satisfy promiscuous passions. We shall never have such thing as a perfect marriage—at least, until we produce two perfect individuals. which is unlikely In our generation. But certainly we can not afford to let slip the ideals of perfect marriage, or to cease longing for affection which endures. When two people shake hands and part without sorrow, you may be sure they have never loved. For even dead love can never be casual. Imperatives as It sometimes is. divorce has destroyed something admirable and stanch within us, made up shoddy, vindictive, irresponsible and cowardly. LIQUOR DISPLAYS ARE OPPOSED BY DRUGGISTS Resolution Is Adopted at Session by Board and Committee. Indiana druggists today stood on record as opposing public djsplay of alcoholic drinks and efforts to create sales for package liquor, through a resolution adopted at a joint session of the state pharmacy board and the Indiana Pharmaceutical Association executive committee. The resolution states that liquor advertising by druggists has caused much public disapproval }n other states and would be inimical to the best interests of the Indiana druggists.

When the giant gorilla, Buckingham, threw himself on the ground in effort to crush his foe with his great weight, Tarzan broke the fall with his feet and slipped partially from beneath the hairy body. Then Buckingham felt sharp teeth sink into his neck.

And the gorilla heard savage growls mingle with his own. Naomi Madison heard too, and anew horror filled her soul. Her rescuer had gone stark mad! She believed he was Stanley Obroski, and she was certain that fear and suffering had transformed him into a beast!

—By Ahern

Suddenly she saw a knife flash and vanish into the great bull's side. The gorilla struggled frantically, but the man-beast clung desperately and drove the knife again and again into the wnthing, hairy form—until at last, with a convulsive thud* der, it relaxed and lay still!

All the savagery had vanished from the man's face as he turned to Naomi and lifted her to her feet. His strength gave her a pleasant sense of security—until she recalled that a gorilla horde roamed this mysterious forest, and even the strongest man could not conquer them all!
