STATES HOLD VARIED VIEWS ON MARRIAGE, DIVORCE, SAYS DEAN

(By Associated Press) DES MOINES, Iowa, Aug. 17. The 48 states virtually-have 48 different views on the subject of marriage and divorce, according to Dean C. J. Hilke

of Drake "University law -college, who is sponsoring a movement for the adoption of a federal uniform .marriage law to eliminate the present confusion between states. "Common law marriages . are still valid in Iowa, the age of consent having been raised to 16 for males and 14 for females. Such marriages contracted between persons above the age

MURRETTE THEATRE A number" of elaborate sets are features of the John M. Stahl production, "The Song of Life," the big photo-dramatic special which Louis B. Mayer will present via First National at the Murrette theatre next week, beginning

Ihursday. Suites of rooms representing adjoining apartments in the tenement district of New York's famous East Side, a replica of the Brooklyn Bridge and the housetops in the lower Manhattan ssection, and an exact reproduction of the magnificent offices of a well known New York publisher, are some of the studio sets which will be seen. In addition to these, there are some remarkable exteriors obtained on the Mojave desert, where the- John M.

Stahl company spent several days on

night was haunted by the thought that somewhere a clue, a strange sentence, a curious observation, had come under my notice and had been too easily dismissed. Then, suddenly, in the gray of the morning, the words came back to me. It was the remark of the undertaker's wife, as reported by Philip Green. She had said, 'It should

be there before now. It took longer,

be restored to their old seniority as if they had not struck at all. It is a fact that in every railroad 6trike in history this concession has been made to the men at the end of a strike. Because of this repeated precedent, the railroad unions have come to think that they have, so to speak, a vested interest in this-right to their accrued

seniority. They talk of it as if it

of consent are binding. But marriages location. A feature of the exteriors is

a aesert sanflstorm. One of the motives which prompted the director to seek perfect detail in the making of the backgrounds for this picture i3 the fact that the plot of "The Song of Life" 13 from a theme of his own which he put into story form several years ago, delaying its filming until the time when he would head his own production unit.

at the common law under the age of

consent are not void, but voidable. Therefore right here in Iowa marriages of children under the. legal ages of consent are valid unless voided by one or both principles. "Thus you see how absurd this law is whenpushed to its final conclusion. "Laws just as absurd exist in many states. That is why a national law, first entirely appealing the common law and providing for the ages of consent, and the publication of the 'bans' a reasonable period before the marriage takes place, together with requirement of health certificates given by a reputable physician, would do much to solve our matrimonial and divorce tangle. "Everybody knows what a travesty on Justice these 'divorce colonies' are. Reno and other places where the divorce laws are lax are properly treated as a national joke. , "It is possible to be single in one state and married in another. How such national slipshodness can be expected to induce in the young any honor for the institution of marriage is more than I can see."

THE DISAPPEARANCE

(Continued from preceding page.) gown, but his pale, hollow-eyed face told me that his night had been a sleepless one. "What time was the funeral? Eight, was it not?" he asked, eagerly. "Well, it is seven-twenty now. Good heavens, Watson, what has become of any brains that God has given me? Quick, man, quick!" Five minutes had not passed-before we were flying in a hansom down Baker Street. But even so it was twenty-five to eight as we passed

Big Ben, and eight struck as we tore down the Brixton Road. But others wero late as well as we. Ten minutes after the hour the hearse was Etill standing at the door of the house, and even as our foaming horse came to a halt the coffin, supported by three men, appeared on the threshold. Holmes darted forward and barred their way. "Take it back!" he cried, laying his -hand ion the breast of the foremost. "Take it back this instant!" The authority in Holmes's voice had its effect upon the bearers. Peters had suddenly vanished into the house, and they obeyed these new, orders. "Quick, Watson, quick! Here is a screw-driver!" he shouted, as the coffin was replaced upon the table. "Here's one for you, my man! A sovereign if the lid comes off in a minute! Ask no questions work away! That's good! Another! And " another! N6w pull all together! It's giving! It's giving! Ah, that does it at last!"

the coffin lid. As we did so there came from the inside a stupefying and overpowering smell of chloroform. A body lay within, its head all wreathed in cotton-wool, which had been soaked in the narcotic. Holmes plucked it off and disclosed the statuesque face of a handsome and spiritual woman of middle age. In an instant he had passed his arm round the figure and raised her to a sitting

position. "Is she gone, Watson? Is there a spark left? Surely we are not too late!" For half an hour it seemed that we were. What with actual suffocation, and what with the polsonons fumes of the chloroform, the Lady Frances seemed to have passed the last point of recall. And then, at last, with artificial respiration, with injected ether, with every device that science could suggest, some flutter of life, some quiver of the eyelids, some dimming of a mirror, spoke of the

slowly returning life. A cab had driven up, and Holmes, parting the blind, looked out at it. "Here is Lestrade with hi3 warrant," said he, "He will find that his birds, have flown. And here," he added, as a

heavy step hurried along the pas-i

sage, "is someone who has a better

right to nurse this lady than we hav?. Good morning, Mr. Green; I think that the sooner we can move . the Lady Frances the better. Meanwhile, the funeral may proceed, and the poor old woman who still lies in that coffin may go to her last resting place alone." "Should you care tp add the case to your annals, my dear Watson," said Holmes that evening, "it- can

could only mean that It had been made to some special measurement. But why? WTiy? Then in an instant I remembered the deep sides, and the little wasted figure at the bottom. Why so large a coffin for so small a body? To leave room for-another

body. Both would be buried under the one certificate. It had all been so clear, if only my own sight had not been dimmed. At eight v the Lady Frances would be buried. Our one chance was to stop the coffin before it left the house. "It was a desperate chance that we might find her alive, but it was a chance, as the result shown. You can reconstruct the scene well enough. You saw the horrible den upstairs, where the poor lady had been kept so long. They rushed in and overpowered her with their chloroform, carried her down, poured

more into the coffin to insure against her waking, and then screwed down the lid. A clever device, Watson. It is new to me in the annals of crime. If our ex-missionary friends escape the clutches of Lestrade. I shall expect to hear of some brilliant incident in their future career." (Copyright, 1922,, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)

ing of that proposal and which would tend to explain and justify it remain to be explained. In the outcome it was an effort towards mediation so extreme that it crystallized public opinion in a judgment adverse to the proposal. , Some Justification,

Some of the aparent justification for the proposal lay in the fact that so far a3 the shopmen, who were the only ones then striking, were concerned, seniority did not mean much, because in the shops preferred positions and the other benefits of seniority are comparatively neglible. But

the public and from thoughtful individuals. The result of this examina

tion of the question is to destroy the argument the strikers make for this right. They have an ingenious and involved theory about it. But the theory does not stand up to the light either of logic or of public sentiment. That is the reason why in the outcome of the present strike, the unions are sure to lose in one degree or another this right which they have successfully maintained in all previous strikes. Their theory is that in striking they do not cease to be employees, but merely suspend work. The theory upon which they stand can only be justified logically on the assumption that every strike must end favorably to the strikers. Reaction Adverse.

When

engineers, firemen and conductors, seniority is a matter of great importance and carries valuable privileges. That is why the other unions immediately took notice of the situation. For that a most important principle was involved. That principle is an asset which they are sure to lose, together with many other assets, if they should fight. They can hardly even hope to salvage the principle entirely through compromise.

Unions on Defensive The way the situation "broke," to use a political phrase, was fatal to this principle. Not only did the presentation of the principle to the light of

public discussion result In n overwhelmingly adverse judgment, the collateral incidents happened to occur in such a way as to put the unions still further on the defensive. If a malevo-; lent destiny had taken control of the situation nothing more damaging to the unions could have occurred than

the abandonment of that train in the Arizona desert. The stories of 'the hardships endured by the passengers have been the finishing touch in crystalizine: oDinion aeainst the strikers. ?

The state of feeling now is such that

even a congress which is within three months of an election might go further in the direction of anti-strike legislation than would have been dreamed possible a little while ago. '" (Copyright. 1922, by the New York Evening Post, Inc.)
