THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL -SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1920 14 1 DO HOTJAVOR IT Shawnee District Judges Op-; pose a Divorce Prohibition. gay New Yorker's Plan for Ban Wouldn't Work. mm law is too lax Say Something Should Be Done to Lessen EtH. JuTlIshed "otice of Marriage i Intentions Suggested. GOING INTO ORIENT Mr.

and Mrs. Donald Thompson on a Historical Expedition. AND MISCELLANEOUS ADS To Take Moving Pictures of Almost Unknown Nations. GERTRUDE EMERSON ON Well Known Writer, Scientist, Traveler With Thompsons. Airplane Trips Included in Many of the Schedules.

The proposed campaign of the Rev. Dr. Walter Gwynne of New York or a federal constitutional amendment prohibiting divorces does not rece've unqualified endorsement from Judge James A. McClure and Judge Georsre H. Whitcomb of the Shawnee county district court.

These men, who hear several di vorce cases each week, admit the evil is becoming a menace to the country, but they view it in a lisht broad enough to acknowledge that force cannot be used in making people live together. The P.ev. Doctor Gwynne is genera! secretary of the Society for the Upholding of the Sanctity of Marriage and not only wants the constitutional amendment prohibiting divorces but asks that ministers refuse to marry divorced persons. Would Increase Immorality. "There is no doubt," said Judge McClure, "that there is too much laxity In our divorce laws, and that the evil is becoming a menace to 'lie country.

But I think absolute prohibition would be going to the other extreme. Personally, I believe education would be more efficient than prohibition. If divorces could not be obtained under any circumstances, I think it would result in greater immorality. In North Carolina there are no divorce laws and what this leads to is plainly recognized in the statutes, which provide that a man cannot will more than one-fourth of his estate to a paramour. "But I do think divorces should be harder to obtain.

One good law in Kansas is that which requires a divorce petition to remain on file for sixty davs before a hearing. This gives the parties, who may have rushed into court in the passion of the moment, time to cool down and think it over. As a result, one-third of the cases filed are dismissed. And nine-tenths of the others are granted by default. Percentage Varies.

"The nercentaee of divorces vary In different parts of the country owing to different laws. On the Atlantic -oaKt onlv one divorce is granted to four on the Pacific coast. Kansas falls In about the middle with two and half. One state, wmcn requires five years' residence before a divorce can be obtained, nas very itjw tutu hil. in another, where only six months- residence is required, the number of decrees granted has increased 1,400 per cent in the last few years.

"There certainly should be something done to lessen the evil, but I don't think prohibition will do it effectively." Essential Sometimes. "There is no need to worry about Doctor Gwvnne's plan," said Judge Whitcomb, "for I don't think it will ever be tried out. But the divorce evil has been increasing, especially in the last two years. This is the wefrst feature about my business, and I wish that I might never have to hear another divorce case. But the miserable circumstances under which some women and also some men live.

It seems to me, makes a divorce quite essential. "Hasty marriages are quite too frequent. This was especially so when our country was entering the war People seem to act different under the stnin of war than in normal times and manv marriages were contracted which were later regretted. It lre-iuently happened that one party or the other found themselves, perhaps Innocently, in the most miserable circumstances. What should be done? Deny them a divorce would not alleviate their condition.

Publish KngaReaoent Notice. "Rut I think divorces should be harder to get and that it also should harder to get married, but this is a species of freedom of which Americans are very jealous and I do not know just how it could be handled. I noticed in Boston that the engaged couple must publish in the newspaper a five days' notice of their intentions. No doubt this, or something similar, would be effective in awaken-lnr the yowie people to a realization of the step they are about to take." TOPEKA ON FILM MAP.

Cozy Theater flrantcd Franchise in Largest Screen Production Association Under the terms of a contract signed this week by Miss Ruth Wright manager of the Cozy theater, Topeka is placed on the map of the Associated First National Film Corporation of New York city. This means that Topeka will see all the "Super-pictures" on par with the largest cities of the country. The $5,000 franchise obtained for the Coxy connects that theater with an organization composed of the largest screen exhibitors of the nation, only one theater in each city being eligible to franchise in the new association.

While the association is the voungest corporation in the film busi ness, it is already the largest and has! the heaviest financial backing. The first zS the special features to De brought to the Cozy under the new-franchise will be Charles Ray in "Forty-Five Minutes from Broadway," a screen adaptation of the play by that name which ran several seasons in New York. Others to follow will be Mack Sennett's six reel comedy "Married Life," advertised as (Not a War Picture); T. W. Griffith's most recent release.

A new hotel, adequate and continuous electric service, a larger and better water supply, extension of the sewerage system and platting of new residential districts. These are some of the ambitions for the city of Florence which the Chamber of Commerce hopes to realize thru the establishment of permanent headquarters with a paid sec retary in charge. Many other dreams came true this spring when it developed that the city was located in a new oil field. Old buildings have been torn down or moved away to accommodate a score or more of handsome new brick structures, some of which are completed, others are under construction and others barely started. Not all of Florence's development was caused by the oil boom, however.

Before oil was found Raymond Gear had broken ground for a new $60,000 theater now nearing completion. A bank, for which the foundation nas just been laid, had been planned before the boom. The city had already taken action necessary to pave the streets and this work had actually started when the "Discovery" well was rii-niori into, tb oil sand. Headquarters of the cnamoer or Commerce have been established at the Oil Exchange building with Theo. A.

Thoma, former newspaper man of Wichita, in charge. One of the first activities of the secretary will be to place signs at all cross roads for miles around giving the directions and dis tances to Florence.
