dangered in America today through
the divorce evf], and the only way to
save it is by the establishment ' of
family 'courts. - in which social evi
dence, as distinguishing from le?ra.l
well be considered," Judge Hoffman
isaid.
"There will be more than -100,000
aivorce cases filed before the courts
; of the land this year, ar.d something
mu.-t be done to save our family life,
? fU.c greatest civilizing force we have."
j ha continued. "The family court
j should be ah extension of the princi
ple upon which juvenile courts are
founded.
Eiihu Root, former Secretary of
State, speaking before the judicial
section of the Bar Association, said
he favored wiping out the "busincrs
of atempting to bring about justice
by statute," and that he believed it
best "to leave it to the judges to do
justice."
"A few meager rules embodying the
fundamental principles are all that is
| necessary,'" he added. "One of the
j ".p'eat troubles with legislation today
!s that it does not permit the judges
to do justice."
Young and inexperienced lawyers
in the Legislatures - who, "because
they did not like the views of a cer
tain justice or because a matter did
not turn out the way they thought
i: should, proceed as soon as they get
a chance in the Legislature to bring
2bout the change they think ought to
!. .? made," were largely responsible
fir the condition, he thought.
"The real reason for criticism of the
courts is not that the people have
kst faith in the courts and confidence
in our judges; but that they hove
co-ir.e to where they want less and
lei3 to be bound by law.

BOY SHOT BY BROTHER
Children Find Revolver in Drawer;
Youth May Die
Danville, Va., Sept. 6.?Elmore
Dooley, 8 year old son of Mr. and
Mrs. L. W. Dooley, was accidentally
shot, perhaps fatally, by his brother
Weldon, aged 5, yesterday, when
the boys found a revolver whiie ran
sacking a chest of drawers.
The parents, in another part of
the house, heard the report and
found the elder .boy living on the
floor, shot through the abdomen.
The youth was rushed to a hospital
where little hopes are btId out for
his recovery.
Say Doctor, "My daughter has the
sre eyes. Can you do anything for
her?" The doctor said, "Well, yes,
I guess I can." ''Then Doctor, I
wish you would, and say doctor, you
know the worst of it is, she is soon
to be married." The doctor replied,
"Well, then, I can do nothing for
her/' Jack said, "Why not Doc

if marrying won't open her eyes,
nothing else will." Try the large

BUTWE?ANNOT DO THIS. The Bell System has undertaken an obliga

dertaking, this Company has accepted an obligation to serve the State of
Virginia.
WE HAVE OBLIGATED OURSELVES to serve the villages as well as the
cities; to link every community with every other community; to bring
the isolated rural home in touch with the activities of the cities and towns.
How well we have succeeded is shown by the 125,000 telephones which e.
brace the Bell System in Virginia.
EVERY COMMUNITY may not contribute its full share of the necessary
revenues. But to fail to serve the small villages and rural communities
would deprive them of communication with the outside world. And it
would deprive those in the towns of the privilege of communicating with
them. 1/
IN AN EFFORT SUCH AS THIS, affecting the comfort, the safety and
convenience of the entire people, we cannot neglect our obligation.
WE ARE ANXIOUS not to neglect it? and all we ask is that the public give us

to earn a reasonable return for our investors.
