IVORCE i BIG

PERIL, JUDGE DECLARES

Los Angeles Jurist Fears No Bad National Reaction From Separations. Often Too Easy, He Thinks. INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE I.OS ANGtLEi, Ovi.-Aim-nu, becausr. of the seemingly increasing iivorce evil, is not riding to a I'.oman fall. Such Is tha belief of Judge J. W. Snmmerfleld, who hears and sees and talks divorce five days a week. Despite the fact that he has heard a.s many divorce cases as rerhapp any one jurist he does not believe that we are on the Tagged edge of chaos because his calendar Is crowded to its limit with domestic complaints. Rather does he think that human r.atu-e is Just the same today as it was yesterday, only today the unhappily married have the coin-acre to ask for a public dissolving of their ties, so that they tan rebuild their lives. However, lie does think that In numerous cases it is too easy and on evil, with hasty decisions on the p; rt of judges, who are accessories to the evil. KKW BOG lJIVOItriCS Put there are few wrong divorces g anted. in Judge Summerfleld's opinion, if ;.ne judge considers a few salient question;?. First, that there are two sides to every domestic problem. .Second, does there seem a prospect for reconciliation? Third, what of ;he children in the case? Fourth, that there are people so incompatible that no amount of law could ever force them to live toil: ethe-. These are a few of the points that Judc Summerfield carries In Ms mind when he listens to that long line of applicants who daily sir their domestic squabbles before Mm.

LABOR BOARD TO BE TARGET

Hi CONGRESS

By WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON. STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE) WASHINGTON, Oct. 17. Congress when it reconvenes will be the battleground for three major legislative offensives aimed at stripping the railroad labor board of all executive powers, it was learned. Rep-esentatievs of agricultural interests will join with organized labor and railroad executives in seeking to deal a death blow to the board's arbitrary powers over ail transportation. Their cause wi'l also be supported by some administration lcade-a as evidence by Secretary of Lator Davis' speech Saturday night, in which he openly advocated the abolition of the board. If this offensive meets with opposition from President Harding, it was reported, a compromise might be reached to amend the transportation act in such a way as i leave the board a mere adviso-y tribunal o:- -nnr'.iafn;-v hoHy the agricultural

interests, however, will insist its present powers be greatly limited whether this position meets with administration opposition or not. Friends of the board will make a determined effort to give it wider authority ar.d to arm it with executive powers to enforce decisions. This group, led by Senator Cummins, republican, of Iowa, believes the board's lack of authority to compel obedience to its decision has caused whatever opposition exists. They will attempt to amend the transportation act by inserting an anti-strike clause to be used in compelling organized labor to ac

cept the boa-ds wage decisions. To 1 give the hoard authority to make I

the roads obey its decisions, congress will be asked to give it authority to issue fines against offending carriers or executive?. The position of President Harding has not been made known yet, though he undoubtedly will favor some changes in the existing laws to prevent a recurrence of the rail tie-ups of the past svimme-. Should the president favor Cummins' plans, congress will be the scene of a bitter fight this win'er which may threaten the enactment of all other legislation. The farm "bloc." led by Senator Capper, republican, of Kansas, are determined to end the board's present activities. Arrore'ifr tn Cn-ricr. class ore

Amalgamation, as applied to cities, means to consolidate two or more such incorporations; or in a business, to combine two or more companies making for better and much stronger organization. That is coperation, and that is also very ood business from the best points cf view. Sometime agoj. just "before Ithe last elections, much talk was in the air on the subject of amalgamating the cities of Hammond, East Chicago and possibly Whiting. These Indiana cities have a combined population of some 100,000 people, they are so close to each other that with the exceptions of Jhree separate names may be taken for one city. The advantages In combining three cities under one incorporate name can be easily seen when it is a known fact thousands of dollars now spent to run these cities would naturally be lowered to figures that would make tho people well satisfied with amalgamation. Telephone toll charges which the people now pay for talking over the phone to their friends and business men in separately named cities in this triangle; excessive gas rates now charged to these people; over-taxation in one or more cities; lack of better amusement parks, T. M. C. A., etc., can be eliminated only by the peoplethrough a vote, a vote for amalgamation of Hammond, Whiting and Kast Chicago. Now is the time to call to the attention of these people, the fact that further delay in voting for the Tri-Combination means a further setback, a longer delay, a discord will soon frrm which wi'l mike it almost impossible to form this proposed three-city amalgamation. For an example, the city of Whiting seems to be out to gain first place in rank of population and at the ex-

Baby Kissing Now Seems to Be Passe as Vote-Getting Device

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE Altron. Oho, Oct. Is the ancient custom of political candidates kisslng babies going into the discard? It looks here as if such Is the case. As In years gone by, office-seekers galore thronged the c.ounty fair here this fall, overworking: the glad handing art and passing out bushels of campaign advertising cards.

But a close survey of the situation failed to disclose a single instance of a candidate kissing a baby. One thoughtful observer ventured the suggestion that since women now have the ballot a well-directed osculation implanted on the offspring of a qualified voter ought to be' more effective than heretofore. Another exponent of direct action suggested a less roundabout way of applying method.

pense of her friend, Hammond. For some hindsighted reason Robertsdale (Hammond's north end) would condemn her corporation only to join Whiting and the Standard Oil company territory. Why move out of your own front yard into your neighbor's back yard, is a question now in the air. Should the dream come true, Whiting could say: "Ain't we got fun, we'll tell the world that Whiting's population increases fast." Why be selfish, what's the matter with a three-city combination. Avhy not start this if you are not satis

fied with the situation at present? How much would Whiting profit by gaining the earth and losing her friends? What advantage is gained by disannexation under the present situation which when carried out in the neap future, after amalgamating three cities, would mean more to Robertsdale and Whiting than the discord they are now- intertaining? Why can't the city of Whiting offer to amalgamate with Hammond Instead of allowing the Robertsdale dissolution subject to take all her attention. Is the Standard Oil Com-

I any, of Indinn i. in the oil business or are they in the realty business, This guestion forms in the miiid.s of the public when it is heard that a Standard Oil Company official is active with this disannexation ques tion. A short time ao, Robertsdale said they must have better schools. They said Whitinir would give them what they wanted. Hammond has agreed with her north end section that they need more schools, but that Whiting cannot give them better schooling. Additions are being made to the Robertsdale school system thus Whiting will loose tnoney because Hammond's north end children will not he taught in the Oil City as in the past, but Robertsdale is not satisfied. Whiting is not satisfied. The Standard Oil Company is not satisfied their official is active for disannexation. It is very evident that somebody has spilt some bolshevlki ink between Robertsdale and Whiting. Will Hammond have to clean it up? Will somebody adopt Whiting and Robertsdale until amalgamation comes up for a vote? Boost amalgamation, and you will do better than a hundred disannexatlons Could do for the betterment of the Calumet District of Indiana. A BELIEVER IN" AMALGAMATIO.V.
