14 EVISED DIVORCE CANON CONSIDERED Plan Advanced by Bishops Is Before Protestant Epis- copal Convention. By the Associated Press. DENVER, Colo,, September 28.—The controversial problem of a marriage and divorce canon agreeable to all ele- ments of the Protestant Episcopal Church was up before the House of Bishops of the General Convention here | y. A proposed canon, adopted by the House of Clerical and Lay Deputies, hase been rejected by the Committee | on Canons of the House of Bishops, | which advanced a new plan of its own. The bishops and deputies are agreed on nearly all provisions except that regarding the status in the church of a divorced person who has been | Temarried.. Under the provision of the proposed | eanon, adopted by the deputies, a di- vorced person remarried by a civil au- thority, might petition an ecclesiastical court for recognition. In case of a favorable decision the new union would be blessed by a priest of the court and | the petitioner would retain all commu- | nicant rights, Impediments Listed. ‘The Committee of the House of Bishops recommends that no marriage of & divorced person be recognized un- Jess the divorce has been granted on gm of cer:’lnh “'td lmbp:!d‘meni:‘ mnml'fi.wcextm ore the Selemnizat of the ceremony.

W. Valentine. Neither sex, he found, has anything in this line to_boast about. He confronted university graduate students of both sexes with school chil- dren who had been rated by their teachers over a long period for the traits of consclentiousness, kindness, obstinacy, straightforwardness and gen- eral intelligence. The students were asked to judge the children on these qualities by looking at them and talk- ing with them. Both sexes judged boys equally well. The men judged the girls a little better. ‘Women, Dr. Valentine foufnd, arrived at their judgments quicker and were more positive about them, but were no nearer right. They seemed to take in more | detalls of appearance in forming their opinions, while the men judged more on the conversation of the youngsters. “RED” PROTEST QUELLED Barcelona Police Arrest Three and Injure One Communist.

CLARENDON, Va., September 28.— A change in the Virginia ballot .nd{ the method of marking it was urged at a meeting in Odd Felows Hall by J. Foster Hagan, Republican nomi- nee for the House of Delegates. Pointing out that, under the present law, it is necessary to strike out the name of every candidate on the ballot SAFEMOVERS LOW PRICES Get our estimate first. —The Original— KRIEG’S EXPRESS & STORAGE CO- 616 Eye St. Dist. 2010 Hagan less than 83 names on the ballot, segre- gated under eight titles, and that if any voter leaves more than 12 names of candidates not scratched out by a line drawn at least three-fourths of the way directly through it, his ballot will not be counted for the office where he did not scratch out the correct number of names. The difficulties to be encountered, according to Hagan, are that the esti- mated more than 5,000 voters will have to scratch out 71 names of candidates for whom they do not wish to vote in- stead of merely voting for the 12 can- didates of their choice. He expressed the belief that it will be a physical im- possibility for the voters to accomplish this task within the time allotted to them when they cast their ballots.
