The bed of the Vudor Hammock is woven gradually heavier toward the middle, making it strongest where the most wear comes. This is an exclusive, patented feature found in no other hammock. Other points of construc tion that give Vudor Reinforced Hammocks double the life of ordinary hammocks are the "equalized cording" at head and foot, insuring equal distribution of strain, hard wood spreaders, strong cord anchorages and sun-proof colors. The colors used in Vudor Hammocks cost twice as much as the dyes ordinarily used in hammocks. FIVE DOLLARS Sold Nowhere Else in Town.

LAWYER DEFENDS DIVORCE COURTS JUSTICE OPPOSES STAND OF CARDINAL GIBBONS : Maryland Bar Association Hears Ad. dress Supporting Present Divorce Laws as Essential to Good of State [By Associated Frets 1 OLD POINT COMFORT, Va., July 9. —Describing as a "gruesome picture" that drawn by Cardinal Gibbons in his views upon divorce, Henry B. Brown, former justice of the supreme court of the United States, spoke yesterday at the meeting of the Maryland State Bar association. "The law and Its procedure in di vorce," was the subject discussed by Mr. Brown. He held that divorce fair ly obtained and on due and personal notice to the other side generally re dounds to the welfare of both sides and proves a real blessing. "The head of the Roman Catholic church In America, a man for whom i I have profound respect," said Mr. Brown, "has painted divorce as a 'mon ster, licensed by the laws of Christian states, to break hearts, to wreck homes and ruin souls.' This is certainly a gruesome picture. Bond Not Final "No system of laws adopted by an Idealist 100 years ago and taught by a following of conscientious enthusi asts can maintain Its authority for ever, however exalted Its origin, if It run counter to the traditions, customs and general moral standing of the people. "It is not proved why the partner j ship created by marriage should be so far different from a commercial i partnership that one may be dissolved .at pleasure while the other is abso lutely indissoluble. "A proper regard for the Interests of the state us well as the preserva tion of domestic happiness would seem to require that when the whole obli gation of the matrimonial pact had been defeated by the habitual, persist ent and uncontrollable conduct of either party and that relation which should represent the acme of human happi ! ness is made to stand for all that Is most repugnant to our desires and an ticipations, a severance of the tie should be permitted. The story of do mestic unhapplness Is only too fa miliar." GIRL HURT IN RUNAWAY IS SENATOR KEARNS' CHILD Boy Loses Control of Shetland Team and Sister Is Thrown Out, Sus. tainlng Fracture KENWOOD, Cal., July I.—Helen Kearns, the 10-year-old daughter of for mer U. B. Senator Kearns of Utah, sus tained a fracture of one of the bones of a lower leg yesterday by being thrown from a cart driven by her bro ther Thomas on the ranch of their father. The team of Shetland ponies became frightened and ran away. She is resting easily today and her condition is not at all serious. The spirited little animals got beyond the control of the boy, who is only a few years his sister's senior, but he re tained his seat and finally brought them to a halt. A report that he was badly hurt was circulated, but had no foundation In fact. ■»■>«- HAWAIIAN COURT ENJOINS JAPANESE FROM VIOLENCE Sugar Plantation Strikers Restrained from Inciting Others to Action and from Boycotting HONOLULU, July 6.—By the terms of a temporary Injunction granted by Judge William J.

Favlll of Chicago, presi dent' of The y Chicago Municipal Voter. league, was the principal speaker to night. * His subject, "Should the Pub li, School Be the Bulwark of Public Health?" was of great Interest because of the attention given school hygiene during the convention. He said in part. "Physical health Is the basis of men tal and moral Integrity. Public health Is the most vital question connected with social and moral progress. This Involve., however, an intelligent broad, ening of school activities to the point of correlating through the school the social activities of its contingent com munity. relation of the school to the ■ The relation of the school to the child during the formative period of its lite puts beyond question the obliga tion to establish this Ideal." This was the argument made by Dr. Favlll In his contention that the school is the guardian of the health of the child. Frank Chapman Sharp, professor of philosophy, University of Wisconsin, gave an Illustration from I Wisconsin school of a successful experiment in moral education. Study at home was discussed at the round-table conference by Miss Mary A. Cunningham of the Grade Teachers' association of St. Paul. This she urged the women present to make all possl-' Die use of home study for the child as well as for themselves. She outlined a course of study which might be tried as an experiment. The session closed with the election of officers. The question of a meeting place for next year occasioned some further dis cussion during the afternoon, but It | was the general opinion among those | In authority that the executive com mittee would not decide finally upon a city until the next meeting, in October. Athletic Sports Receive Jolt Football, Marathon running and such ! sports as tend to disable the American youth received a rough jolt In the de partment of physical education today. The place of physical education In | the field of hygiene was the subject of William F. Slocum, president of Col orado college of Colorado Springs. Ira Fee, deputy superintendent Of schools of Wyoming, made the princi pal attack on what he termed the "rough" sports. He admitted that I there Is an element of virtue In foot- | ball, but in the end it is far too rough. William S. Button of the University of Texas led the discussion, and he Started the ball rolling by urging that what he termed the "evil sports" be j placed under the ban of the associa tion. In the discussion that followed it became evident that the trend Is for a form of athletics which will enable the weaker boys to participate in exer cises which are now dominated by their more muscular brothers. San Francisco Selected During the morning the executive committee took up the matter of the rext meeting place for the association, The board of directors last night by an advisory vote indicated San Fran cisco as their preference by an over whelming majority. Now, however, the Milwaukee "boosters" insist the fight Is not over and that they will continue to pull for Milwaukee. The fight over this is headed by Carroll G. Pearse, superintendent of the Milwaukee schools, who sans the matter*will not be determined finally before next Jan uary. Final meetings were hold in nine de partments today. Among them was a renewed session of the normal _depart ment r which heard extended reports of ; work In normal schools. The department of manual training held its last session, and this time the Influence of Industrial arts and sci ences upon the rural home was taken up. Crret Work of Denton, Tex., presi dent of the College of Industrial Arts, was the principal speaker, Mrs. Ellen H. Richards of Boston spoke on domestic science. Defends Normal Schools Another defense of the normal school as a preparatory school for teachers, as against the claims of university educators that the normal Is insuffi cient, was made this morning in the department of normal schools of tiio National Educational association The closing day of the association's meeting In Denver opened with meet- Ings In the departments of art, child study, normal education, rural and agricultural and physical training. Notable In the department of physi cal training was the consensus of opinion among teachers against foot ball as an athletic sport and the gen eral ling thai Sturdy boys are given the preference in physical work to the detriment of the weaker. This evening at the general session of the association, which was the clos- Ing meeting of the gathering, Dr. Henry B. Favlll, M. D., of Chicago, dis cussed the question of whether the school should be the bulwark of pub lic health. Dr. Favill was to have spoken last night, but was stalled In Kansas by a railroad wreck.

MILKER STRIKES ON TAFT RANCH CHAMPION COW IS TOO MUCH FOR FARMHAND Boy Offers to Milk by the Job, but After Two Sessions Demands Day Work Schedule—Place Filled (By Associated Pre«i.) BEVERLY, Mass., July There was a strike in the Taft household yes terday. It ended in a lockout and the importation of a strikebreaker from Washington. * i Mrs. Jaffray, the housekeeper, set * tled It with a show of determination. The good old cow. Rosebud, brought down from Dairy, N. H., to supply the president's family with milk, was to blame for fhe trouble. Rosebud has a habit of supplying enough milk for a whole dairy. Consequently her milker has a whole» sale job on his hands. Thomas J. Wal lace, aged 16. who always was voted the best milker around these parts, had the job. He was filled with pride until he discovered the kind of a con tract he had undertaken. Then •he struck for higher pay. Mrs. Jaffray discharged Thomas forthwith. Then she telegraphed to Washington for Scott, official milker of the Taft household there. He ar rived last night.
