'LOOK GOOD : HAVE DATES: TALK LAGS: HE PROPOSES: THEY OED;THEf DIVORCE.

Platform Manager at Chautaqua ' Styles Six Weeks' Courtship Collision Into Matrimony With Subsequent Wreck.

Blesses Old Maids Who Care for OrphansAsks People to Prepare for Marriage by Study.

"Marriage nowadays la a head-on collision at the matrimonial bureau by two young persons hurrying blindly to get spliced, because each 'looks good to the other. The wreck crew is called, patches up the 'accident, and then hurries off to have another smash-up. They don't stop, look or listen." Satirically and sarcastically, Henry Clark, lecturer, and platform manager, assailed the divorce evil before an audience of fifteen hundred personse at the Chautauqua yesterday, afternoon addressing them on the subject, "Marriage and After." With bitter and yet laughable expressions of satire, he strode up and down the platform -pressing his message home. He deplored the ease with which couples can be married in the United States and divorces can be obtained. He advocated qualifications on the part of the young man and young woman before a marriage . license is granted, and suggested that a demand for preparation on their part be brought about through public sentiment aroused from colleges, schools, pulpits, press and platform rather than through legislation. She "Looks Good" to Him. Though his remarks brought frequent laughter from the audience, at tJmes he assumed a verious vein and quoted statistics and data to support his contention that the divorce evil is spreading, and an immediate remedy is necessary. Mr. Clark was never

more popular than during this lecture,

and at the close of his speech was

given vociferous applause. In part.

he said:

more complaints for separation are be

ing- granted annually. - - '

"We won't remedy the divorce evil until we recognize the philosophy that prevention is better than cure. Make them prepare, make them qualify for marriage. In the six weeks' courtship

that Is now made they don't know each other. They meet in an artificial at

mosphere. Each looks his best and is

on his best behavior. Each has the animal Instinct and each 'looks good' to the other. "I believe In romance, but reason should accompany romance. Each should look at the mind, the heart, the soul and the character of the person he is contemplating marrying. These are contained in the physical self. "So long as we perpetuate our present social attitude toward marriage, so long will we" have divorces. "One of God's greatest resources is happiness, and every young couple marrying should have life happiness. But they can't obtain it through the divorce court." Mr. ' Clark's address was one of a series he is giving on "The Conservation of Human Resources. That his remarks are interesting and impressive is evidenced by the fact that his audience each day is larger.

people get

age. A young man meets a young woman, and they .'look good' to each other. There's the start of the trouble. They are both nearsighted. Then they begin 'going together.' Some go together as long as six weeks. They go to moving picture shows and to church. Or rather she goes inside the church and he stands outside smoking cigarettes, waiting for her to come out. They sit in the moonlight or in the parlor together. "He knows her to be an angel, and she knows him to be a hero. He holds her hand and can't let go. Then suddenly he says, 'Wilt thou?' and she wilts. Then they go gushing, ambling down the aisle to the matrimonial bureau where the knot is tied and live happily ever after for some times almost six months. Then comes the divorce. Falls In Love With Hair. "Think of an intelligent young man falling in love with lovely hair. Rats! Think of him admiring a complexion which she got from the druggist. And he likes her figure. They say figures don't lie. but I know from divorce cases that they do. He doesn't love her; he's got inflammation of the imagination. "What is he going to do when the roses go out of her cheeks, the grace out of her figure, the music out of her voice, and the lightness out of

hpr step? "And the young girl? What is she going to do? She has, perhaps, married a drunkard, a' cigarette fiend, or a man who can't take care of himpplf, let alone take care of her. "Some girls marry because they think that will be their only chance, and they 6n't want to miss it. Others do it to spite some other fellow or girl. "The best advice I can give to the wives is 'feed the brute.' You can talk all you want to about 'to have, to hold, but you'll have to shine brighter in the kitchen than you did in the parlor if you want to keep him. "No intelligent American girl, reaching womanhod, nowadays has to get married to obtain a living. She can make a better living herself. God bless the old maids. It's an honor to be an old maid. If we didn't have them, what would become of the millions of children of incompetent mothers whom they now care for? Blesses Old Maids. "Every year there are seventeen million girls and men who are of marriageable age. Nine million of these are women and the other eight million are men. So there are a million old maids at the start, not counting the millions of young men who are utterly worthless and unable to marry. "Fifty per cent of the tlivorces obtained are by couples who marry before the proper age. These are girls under eighteen and boys under twenty years. Do you know that in England there is only one court which ia empowered to grant divorces? In Germany there are twenty, in France seven and in the" United States there are 2.987. Anybody can get married; anybody can get a divorce, for any reason, in this country. "We require preparation of school teachers, doctors, lawyers, engineers. We require preparation for every vocation, except marriage." Why should we not require preparation for marriage? If we would, marriages would result in a greater home happiness and fewer divorces. "In the last fifty years two million divorces have been granted, leaving four million divorce orphans. We are trying weakly to cure the the divorce pvil. hut instead it is spreading add

MISS STAHL READS l "UNSEEN EMPIRE" IN ARTISTIC STYLE

Despite the coolness of the air

which slightly marred the comfort of

the audience at Chautauqua last

night, Miss Margaret Stahl, imperson ator and actress, held the close at

tention of two thousand persons with

her presentation of "The Unseen Empire." With true dramatic ability and, ar tiBtlc interpretation. Miss Stahl as sumed the various roles of the char

acters in the play, presenting each

with a distinctiveness that left little to the Imagination. She gave to each

character an individuality and person

intermissions, the audience sat almost motionless, giving her a unity of at

tention that was surprising In view of the cold weather which prevailed. "the Unseen Empire" is a- play written by a Philadelphia newspaperman and founded upon the European war now raging in the Old World. The characters include the owner (a woman), of the greatest factory in Germany for the production of arms and guns, the chancellor of the empire, the Emperor and others. Miss Stahl has achieved a great reputation in the presentation of the play, which was revised in September to meet conditions growing out of the world war and "Madame Buterfly" on the Chautauqua platform. She has been seen in Richmond on previous occasions and has 'many friends here which might account for the unusually large audience which greeted her last night and applauded frequently during the play. That she scored a big hit in "The Unseen Empire", and that there is a sincere "regret on the part of.' many that her engagement here included only two entertainments, is undoubted.

The menu has made a hit and the prices are popular.

DRUG STORE IS POPULAR. Thlstlethwaite's drug store is doing a nice business and is becoming more popular each day as a resting place. The graphanola that is in operation there has done much to add to the enjoyment of the, crowds. WHAT Y. BOYS ARE DOING, f Some exciting ping pong games are played in the "Y" tent and the boys are certainly having a good time.

"Patsy" is one of the most popular men on the grounds and . he is always willing to entertain young and old with some witty story. WISSLER WORKS HARD.

He works morning and night and is always courteous and pays diligent attention to the smallest-detail. As assistant secretary of Chautauqua - Mr. Wissler has made a hit.

GET EDUCATION TO ENJOY LIFE CLARK ADVISES

Advocacy of the compulsory attending of schools by parents, once a week preferably on Saturday, to permit of the closer co-operation of teachers and the mothers and fathers of pupils, was expressed by Henry Clark, lecturer and platform manager in his address this morning before a Chautauqua audience. His subject was based on the conservation of human resources and he made a plea for the better, more thor

ough and more practical foKaoW ' oJUrSS boy&!sna girls."He BuieeM&F af1 sB

parents would do well to furnish the first teacher of their six-year-old children with a delnite statement of what traits have been discovered in . the child while in the care of the parents. - ' - "Hundreds of boys and girls," Mr. Clark said, "are riding freight trains today because they can't express

themselves. The high school graduate doesn't make good because he can't express himself. He is a : carbon copy' of bis teacher. "Hundreds , and millions " of school children are being educated today in spite of themselves, rather than because they appreciate the need of enlightenment and desire it. They should be made to learn to realize the material happiness and success which comes through education. Much depends upon what the child learns in the iirst six years of his life, but the parents' responsibility should not end there. It should continue through life."

AUDIENCE 17ITII POPE given r.:n. uacihitt, FOUf'ER LOCAL MAN

The friends of Frank MacNutt, formerly of this city, will be Interested to know that he is at present at his summer home, the castle Ratzotz, In the Tyrol, near Brixen. which Is not far from the present war zone on the Italian frontier. Mr. Foulke has just heard that he Is well and In no danger but that : his , household ' is sadly shrunken no motor cars, no horses, most of his men gone to the war, as well as his neighbors. ' On June 29, when on a visit i to Rome, the Pope invited him to be present at his ' mass in' the morning and in the afternoon received him in a private' audience which " lasted an hour. Under Leo XIII and Pius X Mr. MacNutt was one of the Pope's chamberlains, but a serious misunderstanding led to his regisnation under the latter pontiff, since which time he has had no further relations with the Vatican, until this recent undience with the Pope. His personal acquaintance with Benedict XV dates back many years and the Pope received him as an .old friend and broached the subject of the possible resumption of his former position of chamberlain, which, however,, it is doubtful whether he will now consider since his interests are elsewhere. The pope expressly asked him to return in the late autumn or early winter, which he will probably do for a short time and then very likely come for a visit to America.

VIOLATE MOTOR BOAT LAWS.

EVANSVILLE, Ind., Aug.! 19 Fines aggregating $9,850 have been assessed on motor boat owners at Terre Haute by the government, for the violation of the federal motorboat laws, according to Mrs. Margaret Viele. deputy collector of port here. .

The United States income tax in the last fiscal year yielded $79,828,675.

Great Demand for New Constipation Remedy

They say that the advent of the "sentanel tablet1' as a vegetable substitute for calomel has resulted in an extraordinary demand for this remarkable product. It seems to have made a hit particularly with those afflicted with chronic constipation, who were quick to recognize Its advantages over calomel and the usual laxatives. Sentanel tablets, aside from their efficacy, doubtless owe their success largely to a tendency to aid la brine-ins about natural functioning Instead of encouraging; the "cathartic habit." Also. Instead of injuring- the membraneous lining- of the organs Involved, they exert a healing? Influence. Instead of weakening, they add tone to the intestinal wall. And they work so easily and gently, they are of course preferred on this account to the violently acting purgatives. Their inexpenslveness is another reason for the popularity of sentanel tablets. One need procure only a dime's worth, and take one tablet upon retiring, to be convinced that the ideal remedy for constipation, torpid liver, and their many evil consequences, has Anally . been found.
