making," said Miss farrow, "Dut this instruction is given the young at a time when marriage seems remote. Moreover the courses are dissociated from marriage. What we need are definite marriage schools for persons definitely engaged. Women are being blamed unduly for the Increase in divorce, Miss Farrow believes. "While statistics show that more women than men seek divorce," she said, "yet many women seek decrees merely to save themselves the stigma of being divorced by men.

"The men often are to blame by being inconsiderate of their wives in the marriage relation or in money matters. Too few men give their wives any spending money. Every wife should have some allowance of her own even if it is only 25 cents a week." Senator Reed's Views. Former Senator James A. Reed, who was drawn into the discussion on his return here from Washington, opposes attempting to solve the problem by legislation.

"As I have said time after time," said Reed, "you can not force people to be good with law. If people can not get along together they should separate and if they are going to live separatel" they should be legally separated." Reed said he believed the increase in divorce was due to the new independence of women. "For centuries," he said, "women endured the tortures of the damned because they were economically dependent on their husbands. But today it is a new story. A woman knows that if things get too bad at home she can step out into the world and get a job.

"As to the children they are better off almost anywhere than in a home We believe that the majority of used car dealers are reliable and will treat you fairly. Many dealers carefully examine every used car they handle. They replace worn parts and put the machine In the best possible condition. They are then in a position to tell the customer the truth about the car. The very nature of the business, if the car is not overhauled before resale, affords unusual chances for disagreement and misunderstanding.

Every buyer of a used car should take these simple and ordinary precautions to protect himself: Be sure you know the year the car was manufactured. Get the original bill of sale or certificate of title. Disregard speedometer readings. Do not buy a car with damaged or defaced serial numbers. See that all guarantees, promises about repairs, are put in the contract in writing.

'f a used car is misrepresented to you, in advertising or by selling talk, bring your complaint to the Better Business Bureau for complete investigation. There is no cost or obligation.

BY ROHKRT EARLY, Sound motion pictures would be an Impossibility without drums and the accessories of drummers. The sound pictures depend upon these instruments for success almost as much as they do on actors and actresses. The roar of airplane motors, barking of dogs and all sounds with the exception of that of the giraffe, which makes no noise, are provided the talkies by drum manufacturers. In the Leedy Manufacturing Company, 1033 East Palmer street, Indianapolis boasts of the world's largest drum factory.

Included in these are Paul Whiteman's orchestra and Sousa's band. Explains Airplane Motor Roar. U.

G. Leedy, president of the company and founder, explained that the roar of the airplane motors in the "talkies" is accomplished with the Use of tympana (kettle) drums and an electric motor rotating a series of straps. If the picture is to he a closeup of the plane, the motor is run at full speed and the straps beating on the drum give a terrific roaring round, ho said. If the plane is being shown at a distance, the motor is slowed down and the drum gives off a tone sounding like the far away purr of an aircraft engine. Pistol shots and cannon roars are produced through the use of a small machine firing blank cartridges, he said.

Wind whistles of wood and metal materials are used for imitating the cuckoo, two-tone locomotive whistle, three-tone steamship whistle, deep-toned ocean whistle, roosters, cackling hens, peacock, jaybird, baby cry, bob white, mooing of cows and crow and duck calls. A number of bird sounds are produced with the aid of a wind water whistle.

Trodures Howl of Dug. The howl of a dog is brought about vith a long, peculiar looking instrument equipped with resined strings.

A number of little metal instruments are used for railroad imitations, locomotive and fire engine bells and sounds from the blacksmith's anvil.

The company, besides being large producers of standard lines of all drummer equipment, specializes in custom-made articles for the leading musicians in all parts of the world.

UP) Cardinal Binet, archbishop of the Besancon, is the only war veteran in the sacred college, and it was as a soldier and not as a prince of the church that he was invited to follow the remains of Marshal Foch to the last resting place.

Private Henri Binet of the medical corps served as a stretcher bearer in the front lines throughout the war. His gallant conduct won for him many mentions in army orders. On one occasion, seeing a number of lying wounded and helpless, he wished to go out and pick them up-, hut his comrades refused on account of the fury of the bombardment.

The sheet is placed in a hydraulic press, which exerts a pressure of 12,000 pounds a square inch.

It required four years of experimenting to perfect the press. THERE was a time when you had to take an interpreter into the store with you when you went shopping, a few hundred miles from home. The things they had for sale were hard to recognize. Even familiar products were sold in strange forms, and under queer names. It was one of the disadvantages of travel that had to be taken along with the pleasures.

Nowadays the millions of Americans who go visiting their neighbors North, South, East and West, encounter no such difficulty. The picturesque beauty, the quaint customs that make other sections of the country different and delightful have all their old appeal. You can still hear mellow mission bells in California. You can eat terrapin in Baltimore, or sleep in a Vermont farm house under an Ethan Allen quilt. But in any of these localities you can buy your favorite toilet soap, or breakfast cereal, or automobile tires as readily as in your own town.

Hides for drum heads are obtained from several meat packing companies of the middle West.

The hides are put through an elaborate cleaning and curing process. Byproducts from the hides are sold. The hair is used in plaster, flesh for making paste and shavings from 'he finished hide for glue. Only gont and calf parchments are used for drum heads. A large quantity of hides usually is kept on hand, stored in a huge electric le-frigerator.

Strings for snare drums and other articles are made from calf and goat gut. Strings for violins are made from the same materials and not from cat gut, which is the prevalent belief. Drum heads are painted bv Ed "A fripnd tnli me nf this new way to rpclui'p. She says Is Krand. I.

The chief products of the company, however, are various kinds of snare, bass and tympana drums.

It is also used in the manufacture of fountain pens. The color schemes in the material are sparkling gold, jade green, rainbow, red, white and black onyx, white sapphire and topaz. Virtually all kinds of wood are used by the company in the manufacture of its products, but drum shells are made generally of rosewood imported from Central America, hickory, enakewood and ebony. The drum shells are made with a machine invented by the Leedy Company which eliminates steaming the wood before bending it. The machine heats and rounds the wood as rapidly as it is fed into it.

The machine saves time and labor. While most of the tympania bowls heretofore were made by hand, all being hammered into shine And then brazed, those produced by flahhlness. Weieht two months later exactly the same 164 lbs. "One more rase, No. 634.
