O, tober 9.—Although the long-standing | rupture between the Vatican and the Argentine government over the ap- ypointment of the Archhishop of Buenos Alres has been settled satis- factorily, despite the Socialists’ antl- church campaign, there are indica- tions that South America will con- tinue to cause the Vatican uneasiness. The progress f women's rights and Socialist ideas have made divorce one of the most prominent questions in South America legislatures and at L;w»-nm a vigorous effort is being ade to introduce divorce in three re- publics—Argentina, Brazil and Bo- livia—with conseauent bitterness be- tween the church and the supporters of divorce legisiation Brazil and Bolivia In Avgentina the divorce question 1s momentarily dormant because the congressional session was terminated before the < forced out of | tee by Socialists, but both e on the verze of women of the ¥ divorce ation, but the s ety women of vin shouted and stormed at the | hop of La z in good «ld suf- ¥ragette style when he called them to- ther and tried to win them away rom the dlvorce campaign.

PATIENCE OF SAAR VALLEY REWARDED Canadian Commissioner Named by League, Brings Smiles After Seven Years. BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER. By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News. SAARBRUCKEN, October 9.—The inhabitants of this dense industrial ne, whom the Versailles treaty made rds of the League of Nations, have, after seven years of rather irritable patience, begun to smile. In the 13 months since the corre- spondent last visited this region a complete change has occurred. The first event was the departure of the president of the governing commission, M. Rault, and the substi- tution by the League of Nations of the Canadian, George Washington Ste- phens. ‘Wins Public Confidence. Mr. Stephens is the only one of the four fore: commissioners in whom the populace has confidence. As president Mr. Stephens has to steer a close course, since it is his business at the same time to protect the French government mines and the German inhabitants. How well he has succeed- ed is evidenced by the fact that since his election to the presidency the bit- ter newspaper attacks upon the com- mission have lost their sting. Then came the conversations at Thoiry, with the suggestion that Ger- many rebuy the mines and the Saar territory be receded to Germany with- out plebiscite, cotemperaneously with the evacuation of the Rhineland. Then came the signing of the Franco-German-Belgian steel agree- proving that international co- operation between neighboring and hitherto hostile states was economi- cally possible. The voldtile Saarlanders, whose steel producers are partners in the reement, began talking as though liberation from French military occu- pation and commission government were only a matter of hours. But the Thoiry conversations and the steel agreement also have com- pelled the Saarlanders to consider cer- tain problems which hitherto have remained in a kind of twilight. haps the chief problem is what will become of the coal mines, by which most of the population lives. These mines belong to the French state, but Germany has first repur- chase right should the Saar again be- come German, at a price fixed by the Reparations Commission.

The acropolis was surrounded by a stone wall six feet Fragments of pots of classic Excellent spring water was discovered within the walls.

It could be transposed to some public space where its magnificent lines and proportions would be displayed to | advantage in more appropriate land- scape surroundings. “Mount Hamilton, on the Bladens-| burg road, would afford just the facil- ities needful for its fitting display, and at the same time derive a crown- ing glory from the presencs of such a structure on its top from which it would be an impressively grand land- mark for miles around. “It might be used there as a mu- seum not only of samples of patents showing the progress of invention, but for other relics of an entertaining and instructive kind. Calls Site Advantageous. ‘The establishment of such a mar- ket at the present Patent Office site, and perhaps also on the site of the old Post Office, opposite, would not only not impose a disagreeable en- terprise in a residence locality, but would be a benefit to the surrounding property, which is of a business char- acter, by bringing thereto a large in- crease of business from the patrons of the market. “Its accessibility by street railroads is ideal, as it is approachable by street railroad tracks on all four sides and by street cars from all sec- tions of the District. “The wholesale and country market business could find ample room there, as underground accommodations could be provided for care of vehicles, both animal drawn and motor driven, and | sufficlent capacity in an unlimited number of stories above.” Removal Urged by Bloom. ‘The removal of the Patent Office is proposed in legislation now pending Make us an offer.

This building until 1917 housed practically the en- tire Department of the Interior, but is now unsuitable and inadequate in every way for the Patent Office, ac- cording to official reports to com- mittees of Congress.

The original section of this building fronts on F street and was erected in | 1887-1842 to house the Patent Office when it was still a bureau of the Department of State. Additipns and extensions were made up to 1868. The building as originally completed cost approximately $2,700,000.
