BETTER DIVORCE LAWS. Tho attention of mill lens of people will be turned to the rroposed effort rf th attorney g-eneral of Nevada to have the divorce decree recently granted to Mary Plckford declared null. Mary Plckford la beloved by a host of moving picture fans, and not ono c.t them, familiar -with the little "Queen of tho Movies" In a thousand girlish und Innocent parts, will wih for her anything but rpeedy release from an embarTassinp: situation, and complete clearing of her record. But the ease by Its publicity calls attention to the neod of more uniform and drastic laws covering divorce and remarriage. If the law povernlnfr divorco were alike in all tho states, ami founded on tound principles of Justice nnd good faith, no dlvorco could be obtained which could be questioned later in any state. If the laws of ill th states agreed in forbidding the remarrlapo of any divorced perron until at least a year Had Tassed, no persona, however impetuous or misguided, could find themselves In the situation which now ron'Ironts two popular moving picture stars. Th many admirers of MIjsk Plckford and Douglas Fairbanks will prefer to believe them guilty only of a lack of good taste and discretion, but all tho same their case la a pointed illustration of the muchneeded revision and unification of laws for tho protection, of tho honorable estate of matrimony.

MEXICO'S DISTURBED STATE. Revolution Is even more deplorable In Mexico than in a nation in which law and order are more firmly established. Uprisings may bo promr.tly suppressed by well-established povernments, but even mere disturbances may canse prolonged suffering in states 3 loosely knit as the federation over which Carranza lias presided. Whether Americans like tho administration at Mexico City or not, they must admit that a stable executive at the capital 13 rsarntlal to any propria or betterment. Revolt, unless promptly suppressed, eerves to rob the government of whatever permanency it may possess. Tho T-Tesont attempt at revolution In Mexico is especially deplorable because It does not peek merely to establish a. new Kovernment at Mexico City, but to disrupt the nation. It Is not merely revolution; It Is soelon. Above everything Americans desire Fuprenaacy of law and order in Mexico. They will And little assurance of stability in anything hort of prompt and emphatic settlement of tho disturbance.

WHAT LABOR WANTS. The Federation of Lil'or, In response to inquiries suhralttad hy tho republican national committee. has fnrnLsliel a fta.tement of what It wants, ami what It cxrects to demand of both nartit-s this year ea tho jiricc of Its political support. The chic items are as follows: A-ccrptanc cf the eipht hour day and the six day week with Saturday half holidays. Recognition of American wape camera right to organize In accordance with their own Judgment. Continued exemption of labor organizations from ami-trust law?. Acceptance of the rieht of employes to choose leir own representatives from within or without the plant. Becoirnltlcn of the rlht of employes to strike. Abandonment cf the uso of the Injunction in Itibor disputes. Establishment of free federal employment Krencles In the atrmlrdstration of which labor Would have a voice. Payment of puch waes as to render old ace nd retirement pensions unnecessary. Equal jay for equal work. Minimum a&e of 16 years for employment of children. Extension of the federal workman's compensation act to all ware earners no; protected by Ftato compensation nets. Elimination of company welTiro nnd uplift organizations and substitution of welfare work as conducted by labor crganizutior.s. Tho secondary strike or bo3'cott and the rit;ht of government employes to strike are declared Justifiable at last reports. Some cf these claims will hardly be conceded in full by either of the bU parties. It Is not likely that the use cf the injunction mil bo. or can be. abolished the public itself, as a whole, must preserve wne safeguards agairst unjust action on the pirt of any minority. The "payment of such wages as to render old age and retlreaiur.t pensions unnecesnry' may win approval, but its fulfillment Is a different matter. The ref rence to "company welfare and urlift organizations" sound rather ungracious, however aensiMe and human It may te at bottom. For the most part, however, the list is one that mav readily be agreed to. It does r.i sund half so radical as It would have sounded a few years ago. And now that organized labor has told what It expects of tb public, the public may be expected to announce what it expects cf organized labor. That Ia another story.

HOMES FOR HARVEST ARMIES. HciUr hou&ing conditicas fcr the great tempor

ary populations which Inhabit the berry, fruit and cannery regions in harvest and canning time are one of the reforms toward which the Interchurch World movement Is benfilnar it efforts. A commission Li now Invc.V.lffatlnjr along. these lines, and data Is being cathere'l to be la M before the Protestant churches of America, together with Fome sort of practical plan for creating a better state of affairs In thes camps. There Is a big field for Improvement in barracks for the gre.it food armies whleh pick and help to can the fruits and vegetables for a hungry nation. Much work already has been done in many regions in building comfortable bunk houses or camping places. But all too often, because the proposition is a temporary one, little attention Ir paid to lirln? conditions, and extra workers by hundreds or thousands are herded together in quarters which are Insanitary, uncomfortable, lacking even in provision for decent privacy. Such places as these are breeders of disease and vice. Their evil Influence Is not confined to any district, but goes abroad through the land In pfrm-Iaden canned goods and grerm laden bodies and minds of thLs ever-shifting host. Some section of almost every state has this problem of housing a wandering workers' army at somo reason of the year, and the great Interchurch movement is performing a valuable service In setting the machinery In motion to clean up such pest spots as need cleaning. Every community which has the condition to meet, and every employer who relies upon these temporary helpers should try to se that the workers, however briefly employed, shall be housed in ways which make for decency, health and morality.

THE CULEBRA CUT AGAIN. It is so long since the Culebra Cut In the Panama canal has acted up that we had almost forgotten its frequent slides and slips, its embarrassing habit of closing the canal until the earth was scooped out of the channel. For two years there had been no earth slides and we had come to believe that the danger had at last been overcome. And then, on the very day that the whole personnel along the isthmus was on dress parade, rigged out in company regalia to escort His Majesty's warship the Renown, bearing the prince of Wales to Australia, Old Culebra Cut got tired of standing at attention and on good behavior. He decided to shift his weight from one foot to the other, or to salute with the left Instead of the right hand, or to execute an especially difficult bow, intended, no doubt, for the delectation of the prince and his company, or something equally meritorious. At any rate, he did something that was not in the Order of the Day, and In consequence the whole canal was tied up, and the Renown had to anchor while the army of engineers and workers doffed the glad attire, got down Into the water and scopped away the mud. It was all very embarrassing to the American army officers. But there la n record that the rrince did anything but smilo and take It all very goodnaturedly. Perhaps h even chuckled to himself at catching Americans, for once, with their welcoming plans awry and their company manners off.

Italy and ' Jugoslavia have decided to go ahead and straighten out the Fiume problem amicably between themselves. Now if all the other quarrelling nations would do the same thlngr, the United States could take it easier for a whiie.

Testimony before tho congressional investigating committee Indicates that the navy was miserably unprepared and wonderfully well prepared. The truth, as usual, will probably be found about midwav between these two extremes.

Canada's supreme court has held that newsprint paper is not a "necessary of life." Possibly the Canadian newspapers have been not quite diplomatic In their treatment of the 'judges.

Guatemala is now engaged in one of the chief Central American industries In staging its periodical revolution.

That Mexican state with a name like a talking maxhine seems to be well wound up.

If we could only get In politics and industry by resolution

It looks a bit like all the Mexican states might secede.

NO COAL. KXTOHTIO.Y. (Cleveland Hain Dealer.) Atty. Gen. Palmer is doing well to keep nn eye on the coal situation. The troublous episode through which the industry has passed in recent months is not ended with tho settlement of the miners' wage dispute and the relinquishment of federal control since April 1. The miners are content with what seems, on the whole, a reasonable raise in pay, which meets their present cost of living or does a little better. The operators, who if they had any jrrievance have carefully concea'ed it hitherto, are now ennpred In a bold effort to "get theirs." The pacing on of wage increases to the consumer hi an old story. It used to be expected Put tho thin? h.ws been so shamefully overdone, and the public has become so fullr awire of the imposition, and so resentful of it, that the present attitude of the coal operators seems hard to account for. It Is generally admitted that the operators have been making plenty of money. It was expected that they would pay the 14 percent wage-raise given last December out of their own pockets. That would leave no more than 13 percent of the total 27 percent raise for the public to yvay in higher prices for coal. Yet since the first of this month there have been announcements from many operators of in-cn-asvs in the price of coal at the mine ranging from SI to 52 a ton. The attorney general says that the total increase in wages will be about $200, 00, 000 a year, representing about 4 0 cents ad Jed to the cost of mining every ton cf coal. The annual production is about iO.COC.CCO tons. The amount the public might rearonably have been expected to contribute, then, toward the. miners pay, is about JlGO.000.000 a year, or at the most $200.000. 000. If the operators "succeed In their present attempt at price-boosting, with the new wage-scale as a pretext, it will add $500.OÖ0.0CO to ;i,00O.OCO.00O a year to the nation's present coal bill. And the coal bill. It should be underStood, is something thai no family can possibly evade, whether it burns coal or not. It enters into the cost of every commodity that depends In any way on coal for Its manufacture or transportation. Any such rrofiterins a is Indicated would be intolerable. The government ihould be able to prevent it, and will be expected to do so.

our millions of readers doubt the assertion, we have at hand some local statistics to prove the truth of the same. It is no wonder the government never gets anywhere with the plan to reduce the high co.jts. Tho government employes spend all their time compiling statistics to show whether costs are going up or down. Why not Just assume that prices are not going down, and get after the profiteer?

More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

CUTTING OUT THi: COMEDY. No longer the crock in the movies. Giving vent to her anger and grief At the butler's embrace raps him over the face. With an underdone filet of beef. No longer when kissed by tho footman, (In her rather irascible way) She scorches his bean with a smoking tureen Of hot vermicelli puree. No more does the comedy waiter A filip of humor supply, By pasting the vest of a corpulent guest With a segment of blackberry pie; Or slam, with a Long Island duckling. The rube with the wicker work grip. Who bolts for tho door when he's settled the score, And doesn't kick in with the tip. No more does the photoplay housewife. Whose husband comes home after two. Lie In wait on the Ftair and bend over his hair, A kettle containing beef stew. Nor does she, to further upbraid him. Come down like a battering ram (Like they formerly did) on the erring one's lid With a seven pound leg of boiled ham. These movie productions are costly. The actors, although they don't sp-r-ak, When i.its they have made are quite frequently paid Some thousands of dollar? a week. And when you have added the money For scenery, fillums and such, You will see that real food must be strictly tabooed It costs altogether too much. (Copyr--ht,

querer, and Aveline or Eveline was no favorite a Norman name that it well suits the Lady of the Garde Douloureuse In the Betrothed. Avellna de Longo Campo, as the name is latinized in old chronicles, married the last Earl of Lancaster and her daughter, the heiress Avellna or Eveline, brought to her husband and his sons by a subsequent marriage, the great county of Lancaster, thus establishing the widespread power of the Red Rose. An Eveline Elstove lived in 1530. but though history faithfully chronicles her name there is no record of her activities or explanation concerning the reason for her carefully preserved memory. The name suffered a temporary eclipse In England in the early 17th century, but was revived in an ornamental fashion by Miss Burney's "Kvellna," Since then its vegue has been unquestionable, but it would b3 diflicult to say what affect d inlluence brought about the chance in spelling to Evelyn. Etymologists insist that it should only be spelled with a "y" if it is meant to imitate the old French form of the Latin avellana, meaning hazel, Eveline is really a man's name and few women have used that form, preferring rather to employ Evelina or Evelyh. Cats eye is Evelyn's jewel. Its mysterious translucent depths shot with greeiv indicates a vigilant charm against evil spirits and promises its wearer immunity from all harm. Thursday is her lucky day and six her lucky number. (Copyright, 1520.)

EVELYN. Like so many feminine names. Evelyn comes from Aolffe, whose more modern equivalent was Eva. In early time. Aevin or Evin was occasionally found In tho House of Kennedy, but Eveleen Is by far tho most common form of both names in Ireland. Aveline or Eveline made their appearance among the Normans long before the marriage of the Earl of Pembroke. Aveline was the name of the sister of Gunnar, the great grandmother of William and Con-

The Horoscope

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21. The planetary hgure for this day is a very interesting one, although rilled with contiietlng augurlos. All the aspects, lunar and mutual, good and evil, are in powerful operation with the, benetic, however, predominant. An unusual degree of activity may be expected in all lines, but th. favorable Issues promised should not be jeopardized by impetuosity and rash Judgments, such as are threatened under the Folar opposition to Mars. This is a powerful stimulus t discord, dispute and friction. Law, accident and traveling should be avoided, and the health shculd bo a matter for consideration. The financial outlook and new j ejects are under fortunate conditions. Those whose birthday It is have the promise of a prosperous year if they avoid quarrels, litigation, accident and rashness, and care for the health. A child born on this day maybe quick and tempestuous, and if born In the afternoon will be fortunate and successful.
