Strong of New Y ' k cast a bomb in the midst of the Alimony Seekers a week or so ago when he announced he Mid not intend to allow his court to be used to force alimony from a husband when the wife is child-|f _ t ii • y n T* n n . I IgSS. Ill thlS day of GQUality OI SGX6S, thG justice said, there appears no reason why divorced hus bands should be compelled to pay for the continu OUS support of wives who have not borne children, Further the justice believed the whole system of ' . iii * j ta il J , j alimony should bG revised. Indeed he advocated the elimination of alimony because it keeps n-vd-ifioc! vovonfro certain women lazj , giatpies tu g , makes slaves of men, and serves no good end. He points out that for years women have found mar riage almost a business. The moment they have their husbands, they have sought separation, and obtained counsel fees and temporary alimony. . .. .. , xi j Often such separation suits have not been pressed in years. Justice Strong declares that alimony keeps many couples from being reconciled. If a woman tires of her husband or cannot stand his treatment let her separate from him," he says. "There is no law which compels a woman to remain in her husband's home. And there is no , i ij i ait* reaSOll why such a woman should be awarded all- j mony. I except cases where there are children." These views may seem revolutionary, coming from the bench, but they express the thought that has been in the publ ic mind these many years. The aiimony system has been kept alive by a sense of spurious chivalry, and unquestionably in the met ropolitan centers has served solely as a tempta tion for the destruction of the home If Justice Strong's view be accepted by the bench, it may make more women realize that the marriage con- j tract carries with it responsibilities, involving pos sible sacrifices and that a marriage certificate is IKK tO be regarded simply as an insurance policy or meal ticket I .. ; GOOD NEWS FOR THE WEST Commenting- upon copper situation, Evening Copper Journal of Hancock, Michigan says: Conditions in 1924 showed steady improvement . . . i • over previous years. American consumption ex ceeded production, reducing stocks to where there U is now about one month's supply ahead. Unless production is unduly increased during the coming year, which lessons of the past should prevent, there is every indication that well managed com panies will enjoy reasonable prosperity during the coming year. Basic conditions in the industry are sound. Stock held by producers is small. Stock held by consumers in this country is smaller than usual, and as to stock held by consumers in foreign coun tries, there is none. A tremendous vacuum in the world's copper requirements remains to be filled. The current price of commercial silver has passed 72 cents, the highest mark since 1923, when 1 U. S. T. 1 eaSUry ceased buying domestic silver at $1.00 an ounce as provided under Pittman act. The government is back in market for silver and is urged to purchase some 14,000,000 ounces to M 4* take the place of silver alleged to have been bot from non-domestic producers under the act. SUMMER-TIME RADIO OPERATION rpi_r ,-I * , j_■ i • n i • ,1 Ihe hand that twills the receiver knob is the final link in broadcasting," says Dr. Alfred N.

No matter what may be the power of the Broadbasting station; no matter v i ii ' i i j., . ' . What the atmospheric conditions, no matter how good the radio programs; no matter how excellent the receiving set itself, the final factor—and the! one that counts for perhaps as much as all the others combined is the care exercised by the ner ___ „X. XV „„ j rpi XU- 1 son at the receiving end, i here is nothing com a plicated about the usual receiving set but radio will deliver more or less in proportion to how it is played That is why a little care in operating the receiver goes a long way in radio satisfaction. .... Especially does all this become evident with .. the warm days of summer. Just as the automobile requires a little more care during freezing weather as compared with its care-free operation in mild weather, so does the radio reciever require just a wee bit more attention in its operation, if the best results are desired.
