SEEK DIVORCE May Face Trial For Bigamy If He Marries After Securing Decree London, Nov. 31. --The Duke of Manchester announced last night that he would go to Cuba to seek there a divorce from his wife, the former Helena Zimmer- man of Cincinnati, Ohio, In the "Pearl of the Antilles," which was the home of his mo- ther, Consuelo de Yznaga de Valle, he expects, he said to bring a technical charge of de- sertion against the duchess and obtain his freedom to marry a British woman whose name was not disclosed. The present duchess, who is a daughter of the late Eugene Zim- merman, obtained a decree nis! against the Duke on May 11, The decree has not been made ab- rolute and under its present sta- tus restrains him from proceed- ing with his second marriage. The Duke said he planned to leave England for Havana Dec. 2. He expected the divorce to be made absolute in Cuba within a month, ~ "When I obtain my divorce in Cuba, which I feel certain of do- ing without any difficulty, I shall immediately remarry and return to England some time during April of next year," he said, / The duke, who was born in 1877, has had two sons and two daughters by the duchess. "Although a Cuban divorce is not recognized in England; al- though it is recognized in the rest of the world, I anticipate that I shall be charged with big- sumy and the only way in which I can be tried is before a court of my peers," he said, He recalled the similarity of his situation to that of the late Earl Russell, who obtained a di- vorce in the United States, re- married there and wag charged with bigamy upon his return to He was sentenced to a term of imprisonment. "It this procedure is followed in my case," the duke said, "it will then be open to me to apply COUGHS COLDS | BRONCHIAL AILMENTS for a bill of divorcement and when that is passed I shall be free in the most technical sense." The Duke of Manchester is the ninth holder of the title and succeeded his father in 1892, PROVINCES GET SHARE IN LOAN 'Ottawa, Nov. 23.~The National Service loan which comes out this week is not only for Federal but for provincial purposes as well. Owing to the adverse exchange Canadian loans in-the United States are im- Jassitle while interest on existing oans must be met in gold. : Substantial assistance has already been rendered to several of the pro- vinces particularly the western ones and is being continued although the provinces are expected to re- pay. The proposed issue is therefore regarded as not only a national ne- ai UNC' BILLY FINDS ANOTHER EOME Who suffers fright and even pain May find 'tis not without some gain, ~Unc' Billy Possum. fr -- Une' Billy Possum isn't much to look at. No, sir, he isn't, He doesn't care much about his per- sonal appearance, not-as much as he should. Personal appearance counts for a great deal in every walk of life. You are very like- 17 to be judged by your appear- ance by those who do not know you and sometimes by those who d 0. Unc' Billy's fur coat usually is rumpled and it is not always too clean. Some people think he looks stupid, but here again ap- pearance is deceiving. He may look stupid and he may even seem stupid, but no one really stupid could live as long as Unc' Billy Possum has lived in the Green Forest... No, sir, it couldn't be done. You see, Unc' Billy has nothing wherewith to defend himself as Jimmy' Skunk has, He cannot run fast or dodge as eter Rabbit can. He is too big and too slow to disappear in a small Lole or under an old log or lit- tle heap of brush as Billy Mink and his cousin, Shadow the Wea- sel can, He has no little spears as Prickly Porcky the Porcupine has. So if he were really stupid he would have been emught and killed long ago. The tree in a hollow of which Unc' Billy had been living alone since spring had heen struck by lightning and split, so that part of it had fallen, tearing away a whole side of Unc' Billy's house, so that the rain had poured in and gave him a thorough soaking. He had not known it at the time for he had been stunned. The wonder was that he had not been killed. He knew it now, however, as he slowly climbed down to the ground. He felt shaky for he had had a terrible fright. He wae wet and altogether miser- able. And once more he was without a home. This did not bother him as much as it would have bothered you or me, for Unc' Billy is not fussy and is used to sleeping in all sorts of places. He knew he could find a place some- where in which to sleep until he could find a new house. But Unc' Billy is naturally lazy excepting when he is hungry and he didn't want to take the trouble of look- irg for another home, He wondered if Mrs, Possum was still living in the old home which: she had turned him out of to make room for the chil- dren, He hadn't been over there for a long, time. Perhaps by this time the children had left home and Mrs, Possum would let him come back. There would be nothing lost by finding out. £o, whining and muttering to Limself, Unc' Billy made his way over to the old home, "Ah reck- on OI' Mrs, Possum done gwine let me stay if she is all alone and hears how Ah done lost mah Lome," he muttered as he shuf- fled along. "Ah reckon she done gwine to be sorry fo' me and let me stay." But when he came in sight of the big hollow tree which was the Possum home his hopes were dashed. Two small, charp faces were peeping out of the door- vay. The children were still there. The Great Worid had not yet called them. With a deen sigh of disaprointment Unc' Billy turned away. It vas useless to even think of try vg to enter that crowded home Being hungry he put off lock- ing for a new home until Lie had Ftd something to eat. Having dimmed he felt better, and the find- ing of a new Lome didn't seem half so Impor'ant as it had be- fore, In fat, he didn't think ahcut it at all untis the Black Shadows beza1 to steal away from the Green Forest and he realized that he was tired and sleepy, Then he began to look about for a place to spend the day Finally he came to an old stump. Under it was a hota dug iong ago by a member of the Chuck family, The entranca was hetween two stout old ronts and was just big enough for him and no more, It couldn't be dug any bigger because of those ronts, "This will do fo' today," ut- tered Unc' Billy, and a fey i utes later was fast asleep inside He came back there the next dav and the next. Then he decided to make it his home. "It isn't sn good as the home Ah done lost, but it isn't so bad as it might be," said he. "No, suh, it fen't. Ah don' have to climb to get into it when Ah am tired and sleepy." Then a thought come to him. '""An' lightning never will find this ol' stump. No suh, it never will. Ah reckon Ah have 'had enough of hollow trees." (Copyright, 1931, by T. W, Burgess) The next story: 'Unc' Jilly Meets His Family," O.C.V.L LIBRARY NOTES rakes Ar, 'Recti Cultus Pectora Roborant."

PHILOSOPHY (1) The three great Greek philosophers are Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, SOCRATES: (2) All we know about Soc- rates we owe to his disciple Plato, and to Xenophon. Reason--FHe left not a line of writing. I'LATO: (8 According to Plato we live in the spirit and not in the flesh; our souls come from the home of the Eternal Being where reside the "ideas" of beauty, truth, and freedom, Plato's influence was at its height during the Renals- sance, ARISTOTLE: (4) Aristotle wrote on logle, moral philosophy, politics, meta- physicé, psychology, physics, na- tural sciences, poetry, His rep- resents the matter of faet,, prac- tical, logical mind; he never loses sight of earth, Plato's is a poetical temperament; he is impetuous, visionary, suggestive but inconclusive, Aristotle's in- fluence was felt most during the Middle Ages and up to the time of the Renaissance, KPICURUS: (6) Epicurus was the founder of the Epicurean School of Phil- osophy. He regarded absence of pain (and therefore repose of mind) as the greatest good; since virtue leads to this repose, he be- lieved virtue was essential to hap- piness, ZENO: (6)) Zeno founded the School WINS HIGHEST HONORS AS ACTRESS With Marie Dressler's role in "Min and Bill" hailed as the greatest piece of character acting of the year, citizens of Cobourg, Ontario, are re- calling tales of the little girl whose father was organist of St. Peter's. Miss Dressler has just received the award of the Motion Picture Acpdemy of Arts and Sciences for her splendid work. The minute book of historic old St. Peter's Anglican church, in Cobourg, provides the only tangible evidence which that town has that Marie church there.
