He deelarod. that if men and w.?im'ii are dirty and need bathing, they should bathe separately. He oxpresscd the opinion that men and women go to bathing places largely for amuse ment and he believed there should be partitions placed to separate the sexes. Then when *they have bathed, he said, they can dress themselves and. go home together. He said he regarded the small bathing suits of the day as next to nothing, almoat as bold as the dress of Adam and Kve, ami ho believed there should be a law against such a tendency. Wher. arguing for separate bath ing places fbr the sexes, Represen tative Stone was asked what he thought could be done at the beaches, if there should be separate oceans ?for men and women. He replied that possibly partitions could be erected in the surf. ? ?

The vote was then taken di rectly on the amendment, and again a roll call was .demanded. However the proposal was "snowed under." Death of Thoman J. Green While on a visit to his daughter, Mrs. W. T.

WOULD SEPARATE CHILDLESS Nebraska Bachelor Asks Legislature For Novel Law i Lincoln, Neb., February 2. ? The ] Nebraska legislature today was asked to enact a law providing for annul ment of marriages of all couples who do not within three years of their wedding day have one or more chil dren. An exception is made for cases where either husband of wife is im potent. A bill putting this provision in the marriage^ TaW^waa introduced by Rep resentative Hines, Democrat, Omaha, who is a bachelor and who is next to the youngest member of the assembly] It incorporates a suggestion made several weeks ago by Dr. A. S. Pinto health commissioner of Omaha. Mr. Hines, who is 23 years of age, said he believed firmly in the bill, be cause it would tend to increase the progeny^ of "best families" who, he declared, do not rear as many children as they should. . The bill provides that investigators of the public welfare department shall report- to county authorities cases where there are no children within three years after the marriage and that steps then shall be taken to a&nT the bond* of wedlock. It does, not provide for medical examination.
