Lot us assume that we are nil Interested In marriage. Some of us are Interested in divorce. Most of us are also Interested In permanent marriages and in universally legal marriages. You will perhaps be fcurpristd to learn that owing to the lmdgo-podg- e oMavvs now existing In the several states you may under certain circumstances be single, married, an adulterer and a bigamist at ttie time, depending upon which side of an lma; state boundary line you may lie standing. This woman nt Washington with the pleasing' and convincing video was Mrs. Kdward Franklin While of Indianapolis, nuilipr of tin bills now before congress supplementing this proposed amendment to the Constitution: The congress shall have power to make laws which shall be uniform throughout die United States on mat Hugo and dlvorio, the legitimation of children and the care and custody of children affected by annulment of marriage and divorce." Mrs. White, former deputy attorney general of Indiana and later elected reporter of the Indiana Supreme court, Is first vice president of the General Federation of Womens Chilis. That powerful body of organized women under the leadership of its president, Mrs. John Dickinson Sherman, Is actively supporting the proposed amendment and has the of a Dumber of organizations of nation-wid- e membership. Mrs. White in her radio address, raid In part: Each cf the 48 states has made its own laws and no two of the states are alike In the required qualifications for marriage or In the grounds for divorce, except that all prohibit bigamous and Incestuous marriages and make them criminal. Marriages of certain classes are prohibited in some states, not prohibited In others and made criminal In still others. Two people legally married in one state could be jailed In another state because of that marriage. One state grants no divorce: others divorce on one ground and still others grant up to 14 But citizens of every state get divorce grounds.by going Into another state. In some states they try to punish this evasion of the law. Persons legally divorced In the state to which they had removed have married, and upon return, to, the original state have been convicted of bigamy and their children made Illegitimate Persons divorced by Interlocutory decree who have legally married In another state before the decree became absolute have been arrested as adulterers-upotheir return to their own state. We are always citizens of the United States, no matter In which state we live. Do you not believe that a marrlnge valid In one state should be valid In every other state, that a divorce legal In one state should be recognized In every other state and that a child legitimate In one state should be legitimate In every other state? If our wise constitution makers had foreseen that this divergence of laws among the states would result In a social scandal they would have empowered congress to enact a uniform law which would have made elopement and evasion futile. For states cannot control It, even though marThe law of the domicile or riage Is a contract. residence as a general rule controls the legality The states cannot prevent the miof marriage gration of their citizens unless they are criminal. The only way to reach a solution of this marriage mess Is by a federal law. The principal aim of a proposed federal law Is not to reform the marriage laws but to' uniform them and to Include in the federal law only such t Nor matters as are essential to uniformity. the purpose of the proposed federal law to make marriage more difficult. Marriage should be made, easy for the fit and hard for the unfit. It seems to me that this civil status of citizens who move from state to state should be as much a matter of Interstate commerce as the transportation of freight. But It seems not and that congress does not have the present power to legislate on the subject. So It will be necessary to adopt an amendment to the Constitution to empower congress to pass such a law. Mrs. Whites concise radio address was coincident with a meeting of the board of directors s of the General Federation at the national and followed a call by a General Federation delegation at the White House to enlist the Interest of President Coolidge in that bodys campaign for uniform marriage and divorce laws. The delegation was led by Mrs. Sherman and was accompanied by Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas and Representative Ernest W. Gibson of 'Vermont, sponsors for the amendment and bills The accompanying In the eetefite and house. photograph shows a number of the delegation at the White House (left to right) : Mrs. Kate Trenholm Abrams, Washington, vice chairman department of legislation ; Mrs. Florence 0.

Slayton, Norrlsvllle, Yt. ; Mrs. Aaron Schloss, Berkeley, Cal. According to members of the delegation. President Coolidge said he was interested in anything that would prevent disintegration In the homes of the nation and agreed to give the measure all the support be could. Mrs. White In addressing the President for ttie delegation said In part: The great Increase In the ratio of divorce In this country is commonly cited without taking Into consideration that the laxity of marriage laws and the conflict of laws between states are responsible for a great number of these divorces. The fact that womens organizations bring this to y mr attention, through the aid of Senator Capper, by no means Indicates that It Is a women s movement, or that women are more Interested In It than men. Our Interest In this Is our Interest In the Integrity of the family made up of one man and one woman, and the offspring of that union. Is The government Itself Intensely Interested In. the proper mating of that man and woman, beIs the unit of government. It has cause the family the strongest of all Interests this need for uniform law has been recogThe nized by men and women, by bar associations, by hundreds of newspapers In their editoilals, by congressmen and senators, from the north, oast, south and west. There has been, no adequate objection offered to the Idea, except that it should be a matter for state legislation. Neither Mrs. Sherman nor Senator Capper looks upon divorce us un evil Institution. Both, however, emphasize the fact, that the abuse of divorce has become an evil. The General Federation bills which, (d course, must await the passage and ratification of the amendment are based upon the proposition that to eliminate the marriage Is to go far hasty or toward eliminating the abuse of divorce. The marriage bill therefore contains the following provisions ; "must elapse, except In At least two tver-kcertain emergencies, between the application for license and the marriage. Ten days before the marriage both parties must file statements that there Is no legal bar to the union. The marriage license clerk must make public all applications, which tnay be challenged in court by any person believing the statement to-- be false or insufficient. The court may sustain or deny these objections at Its discretion aftd may take cognizance of emergencies. The age eligibility for marriage is placed at eighteen for men and sixteen for women. Iarental consent must be obtained for inen under twenty-on- e and for women under eighteen. For absolute divorce five causes are named: Adultery, except when with the consent of the party seeking the divorce or when the party seek-in- g the divorce has been guilty of the same offense. Cruel and Inhuman treatment Abandonment or failure to provide for a period of one year or more. Ineurabfe insanity. Conviction of an infamous crime. As to the much-vexequestion of alimony a The court shall make such provision reads: decree for alimony, whether asked for In the petition or on default, as the circumstances of the case shall render just and proper. The adoption of the amendment and the enactment of uniform marriage and divorce taws would deprive the states of their present power to regulate marriage and divorce within their boundaries. The bills, however, do not set up a new federal bureau, but leave the enforcement of the new laws entirely to the states. d TIPS j$DW&D UrtaerHfoo? II jmttX I believe joung people do not give enough consideration to the seriousness of marriage, says Mrs. Sherman. They know divorce is easy and they dash headlong Into marriage relations. Of course we cannot expect children to live just as their fathers and .mothers did. The new generation has jumped far ahead and I believe that where this has meant a fault it has been where parents have neglected their duty in the home. The causes for divorce enumerated seem to me to be the proper causes. I have not made a study of alimony, but I do not believe It should be granted In all divorces. I have heard of women who made an actual business of marrying and of obtaining divorces for alimony. It is when a woman Is honestly making an effort to live respectably and to keep her family together that she should secure all the alimony that she possibly can." Divorce Is increasing so rapidly, says Senator Capper, that there Is now one divorce to. less than seven marriages. The main cause Is the ease with which the Immature and unfit may varieties of' marriage marry. We have forty-nin- e laws. Seventeen states fix no marriageable age. In nine of these common law ages of twelve for girls and fourteen for hoys have been recognized. varieties of divorce There are forty-eigh- t laws.' From no divorce in South Carolina to fourteen- grounds for divorce in New Hampshire the scale runs. While the majority of the states, recognize the divorce laws of other states, there are at least eight which do not recognize them unconditionally. The continual nullifying of second marriages and the illegitimatlzing of children Is a process without reason and wisdom. of marriage and divorce Is. The hodge-podg- e admitted to be 'a national scandal, If not a national menace. Yet there will, be organized and persistent1 opposition to the amendment anti bill from various sources from various motives front as well as from standpatters. reformers There will be opposition, for tnstanca, from those opposed to further centralization of power In the federal government. These people favor uniform marriage and divorce laws, but Insist that these must come' through enactment ' of a model law by the several state legislatures. There will also be opposition from those to whom the present mlxup means revenue. Here Is a sample, case illustrating the situation: Nebraska passed Mrs. Whites marriage law. But last year Nebraska repealed the clause relating to marriage licenses. Why? Because eloping Nebraska couples went In swarms to Iowa and Kansas, where the laws are less strict. Thereclerks, the upon the Nebraska marriage-licens- e ntarrjlng parsons, the hotel keepers and the Jewelers made a political Issue of it and won! Here Is another example: The Indiana ' legislature defeated Mrs. Whites bill by two votes In 1023. The legislator who led the opposition said frankly that marriages by Illinois couples brought $30,000 a year Into his county because of the Interlocutory clause In the Illinois law for bidding either party to a divorce case to marry again within a year. Thereupon Illinois, peeved over so much good Illinois money going to Indiana, repealed the statute relating to the Interlocutory decrees. Almost any daily newspaper offers proof of of marriage and the result, of the hodge-podgat this divorce laws. The latest complication writing is In Georgia. A lnw passed In 1924 provides for a notice of five days before the Issuance of a license. Hundreds of couples hav evaded the law by marriage in other states. Atto'x ney General George M. Napier has now ruled that these marriages are voidable. - ers, packdirec- tions so simple any woman can tint soft, delicate shades or dye rich, permanent colors in lingerie, silks, ribbons, skirts, waists, dresses, coats, sweat stockings, draperies, coverings, hangings everything and Ironing, 2, Parkville.
