WILL RENOVE NON T0 PENAL COLONY Gil Orders Transfer ol “Insti gator” of Galles' Death Mexico City, April 3¢ UP—Mother Concepcion, Reman Catholic nun, sentenced te 20 years' imprisonment s “intellectual ayther" of the as- seasination of General Alvaro Qbrys gon, will zoon be taken to the “Las Tres Marias"—the = Three Marys—Mexico's island prison col- ony. 8he will be one of the firat wom- om to be confined gt the island peni- tentiary, which has attalned a reputation of treatment for male prisoners as sometimes “worse thun death.” Recently a new governor pointed by the Portes Gil admin- {stration for the island announced that the whip and other such imple- ments of punjshment would be ban- fshed and prisoners afforded means of diversion, paper accounts said the 'wept with joy."” The priren authorities in an- peuncing imminent removal of Mother Concepcion, said that all other women copvicted of direct or fmdirect participation in anti-gov- ernment activities, particularly the #0-called “Cristere” revolt, would be sent to the island prisen colony. The announcement was taken to mean that an attempt would be made by the government to confine thero women who are convicted among those recently arrested for alleged seditious activitles. In order to reach Manzanilio, where she will debark for the island prison, it will be necemsary for Mother Concepcion to be taken through the state of Jallsco where the so-called religious rebels, or “Cristeros” have been exceedingly active recently. The train on whicih the trip will be made will have a heavy military eacort. SELFISHNESS HELD CAUSE OF DIVORCE Survey Discloses Weird Reasons, Including Wearing Spats Owosso, Mich,, April 26 (UP)— @eltishness is the basic cause of nine eut of ten divorces in the United Btates, according to a committee of three members of the Shiawassec County Ministerial association who gonducted a nationwide survey of ofticial marriage and divorce rec- ordr. The committee's report sets forth that there were 1,200,694 marriages in the United States in and 192,037 divorces average of one divorce to every marriages. In New York the ratio was 1 divorce | to 21 marriages; Georgia, 1 to 13 Wisconsin 1 to 6.8; Indiana 1 to 4.1 and Michigan 1 te 3.4. Other highlights of show that: Twice as many women apply for divorce as men. Most divorce suits are filed by women who have heen married two gears. Men wait three years. Divorce actions have increased 800 per cent since 1887, The average duration of a mar- rlage that ends in a divorce decree is seven years. Restaurant waiters are increasing three times as fast ag our families and restayrant ownera four times as fast. the report Changed Economics ‘Woman's changed economic status has a great deal to do with the di- wvorce situation. There was & 60 per cent increase o bakery production from 1914 to 1925, while the population increased but 15 per cent. Of 335 children in the Michigan state public schools at Coldwater 24 per cent are divorce “orphans.” Wives as well as husbands will part with their children to obtain their freedom. Among the “extreme and repeat. ed cruelty” grounds cited in divorce complaints, the committee reports ithe following: One man left uis false teeth ly. ing on the buffet. One man picked his teeth with a penknife after meals. One man snored in his wife's sen- sitive ear. One man refused to wax his mus- tache. One man wore spats to the mor- tification of h ife. One man forgot the date of his mother-in, 's birthday. As remedies the committee sug- gests “the revival of the old-fash- ioned religicn where grace is pro- nounced at the table, the Bible read and prayer made in the heme, where church attendance is regular, not an incident and the abolition of ideas of companionate marriage.” PEON, PIG WORRY HEFICAN GENERAL War No Picnic Even for Oficers of High Rank Mexico City, April 26 UP—Mexican generals, like the private soldiers, must “live off the country” when campaigning and find food as the fortunes of war may dictate. Hence the tale of the stalled train, the ob- stinate peons, the crippled pig and the hungry officera. Beyond Frio, in Durango stretches a hilly, sparsely populated district where miles intervene between the little abode huts of Indian farmers with their complements sof chickens, pigs and dirty children. In the midst of this country five federal troop trains were held up because the detail of filling the water boiler | of the first locomotive had been overlooked. From a rickety coach at the rear descended a stout general and his staff. The commander's jacket fair- ly flapped against a vacant interior, for he and his officers were hungry. Within their view came a peon driv- ing three thin pigs. ait a minute ed the general. those pigs.” “Sorry, my general, but they be- | long to the rancho over yonder hill,” | responded the peon. | The, general und his escort trailed | along and eventually came 1to &l small clearing where there was 4 ' mud hovel with other slim pigs and ' a dozen or so bony chickens run- ning about. “We'll buy a pig.” said the gen eral to one of the Indlan women ““We can't sell you a pig because their owner isn't here,” answered the woman. “Then we'll buy a chicken,” the general. f i “The owner of the pigs also oWwns the chickens,” responded the wo- | man. | One of the cmpty-stomached par- | ty. picked up a large stone and hurled it at a suckling pig, breaking the animal's leg. Then, in resigned tones, he suggested that the party ! return to the train, “What will I do with a crippled | pig?” wailed the woman. In the bartering that followed, the woman received three times the pig's market value and 20 minutes later meat and benes were simmering in a bucket over a bonfire. The sad part of the story is that when the pig was only half cooked the trains started apd the general and his party scarcely had time to clamber back into their car. The charred bones of a suckling pig, heaped in & tin pail over the cold remains of a bonfire, were mute ! evidence that war is no picnic, even for generals. e e NOTED SINGER ENDS LIFE Ciaro, Egypt, April 26 UP—Dr. Frank Cole Madden, one of the most widely known surgeons of the Brit- ish empire and dean of the faculty | of medicine at the Egyptian Univer- sity, was found dead today at his hombre," shout- | Ve'll buy one of i said | i Sister Says Psychic Forces Actuate Talley’s Retirement New York, April 26 UP—Marion Talley's elder sister Florence insists that the young opera singer is re- liring in obedience 1o mysterious psyehic forces which have guided her through her career. When Marion announced her de- cision to quit the operatic and con- cert stage two weeks a she sald something about “destiny” but also gave the more prosaic reason that she wanted to live on a farm. Sister Florence, a sedate, bobbed-haired blonde, who has been Marion’s sec- retary, explained her theory, which is reminiscent of the classic Trilby, thus: “You see, Marion is not conscious of the mysterious powers that guide her actions. But mother and 1 have known it all the time. So that when she suddenly told us that she had decided to quit opera we weren't a bit surprised.” Ilorence admitted that her sister felt that hard work had something to do with her success but asked how to account fer the fact that the lin Mt.
