( ! 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.

BUTWE?ANNOT DO THIS. The Bell System has undertaken an obliga tion to provide a nation-wide, a universal service. As a part of this un 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 iis support to enable us To Carry On, to serve the public adequately and to earn a reasonable return for our investors. rHE CHESAPEAKE AND POTOMAC TELEPHONE COMPANY OF VIRGINIA LEGAL NOTICES VIRGINIA.
