MERIDENITES NOW ASK “WHO 1S Who? Klan Tdea Makes Neighbors in Silver City Suspicions Meriden, July 19.—How many and who in Meriden are members of the Ku Klux Klan? That is a question which is being solved .and disproved and discussed rover and ‘over again throughout the city, and every time the question Z2rns over more people stick their tongues in their cheeks and point fingers suspiciously at the neighbor next door as being a member of the Klan. The subject bids fair to react llke the money of Mark Twain “Man Who Corrupted Hadleyburg and got everybody ‘in the stew.” Know Klansmen's Auto Numbers, 86 and so belongs to the Klan is the remark that is heard very fre- quently and there is a very firm de- sire of a large majority of the loca) people to know those who have been marked with the nocturnal cross of the Klan. Allegations are many and it is quite certain that a few are cor- rect for it is known that there were not a few local men at the ceremony in Westfleld Saturday night, and it is said that an individual in town not a member of the Klan but who was present at the ceremony has the num- bers of the automobiles that carried the Kiansmen to Westfield. A reporter asked C. A. Nott, an admitted member of the Klan, and al- leged to be a high officer as regards the Meriden membership. “How many Klansmen are there in Meriden?"" questioned the reporter. “I'll have to decline to answer that question,” replied Nott blandly. Then as if to give the reporter an idea of the necessity for secrecy he related the following anecdote: £ Nott Tells Story “The Klan started to organize in a certain city in Oklahoma. During the organization of ihe order there riothing was said, and organizers just worked quietly enrolling the best citi- zens in the city. At last they decided to publish knowledge of their work, and a story appeared in the news- papers that there were 500 citizens of that city who were members of the Klan, and that they were going to make war on the organized vice in that city, such as gambling, disorderly houses, etc. It was unnecessary for the Klan to take any further action for when the men implicated in the vice saw what was going to happen they left the city without any trou- ble.” Nott smiled when the reporter said that he was certain that there were a number of Klansmen in Meriden. Indignation Meeting Sunday Feeling against the Klan continues unabated in Middletown and on South Green there Sunday afternoon a mon- ster meeting to which the mayor of the city, and all clergymen have been jnvited will be held to protest against the organization.

The chief magnet appears to lie in the fact that divorce proceedings may |be brought in French courts with silent ease and completed without even friends and acquaintances be- coming aware that there has been the slightest ripple on the sea of domes- ticity.. Publication of such proceed- ings by native newspapers is a crimi- nal offense on the ground of lowering public morals. The newspapers may print the names of those involved if they can obtain them and the fact that a divorce has been granted, but nothing more. Recent publicity in the United States of some divorces of Americans in Paris has caused an unpleasant feeling of apprehension among attor- neys for others who have been con- templating divorce action. - Provisional decrees usually may be obtained in France in from one to three months and final decree 60 days thereafter. The complainant must es- tablish residence in France. The second essential condition {s that the defendant must appear before the court in person, or through counsel if he is a resident of France But if the defendant lives outside the coun- try as in the case of Americans no-; tice must be given through the state | department. There are three grounds for divorce in France: Adultery, conviction of a felony and cruelty, Both physical | violence and mental anguish are ac- | cepted under the heading of cruelty. | Neither party to a divorce is allowed to remarry in France within ten months, bcause of the question of custody and sustenance for the chil- dren. At the ministry of justice the sug- gestion that Parls is becoming a second Reno for American divorces is not well received M. Lemeerieux, first assictant to Minister of Justice Barthou, said today that France was a liberal country regarding divorces, having been the first continentatl country to grant them to foreigners under the law of 1884 and that possibly Parls was being visited for this purpose just as Fiume was such a resort for Itallans because of the lack of a divorce law in Italy. H E. Barrault, a French advocate who has made inquiries into the number of divorces granted to Ameri- cans in French courts, says there ahve not been more than 20 in one vear, but that the divorcees mostly were prominent rich persons, which accounts for the great publicity given in the American press. t The automobile market has an of- ficial organ all itself—It is the Herald Classified columns.

In America, even in remote rural districts, you find pianos, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, up-to-date heating systems, telephones and numberless appliances that go far to make life easier, happier and more worth while. You may not realize it, but America’s high standard of home life is due largely to advertising. For the development of advertising is distinetly American. It has taken its place as a leading force in bringing together the interests and wants of a great, united people. And a large share of the credit for this development is due the newspapers.
