Dr. And Mrs. De Loach Give
Graphic Account Os Travels
To Attend Two Conventions
Dr. and Mrs. Luther A. DeLoach
have returned from a tour of South
western United States, bringing with
them an interesting account of their
travels and of the convention of the
American Medical Association, held
in Kansas City and the Southern
Baptist Convention in St. Louis.
Dr, DeLoach was a delegate from
Savannah to the medical convention
and the church meeting, while Mrs.
DeLoach was a delegate from the
State ''bf Georgia for the Women's
Auxiliary to the Medical Association.
While in St. Louis, Dr. DeLoach at
tended the famous Barnes clinic. Des
cribing their trip the DeLoaches say:
"We left Savannah on the morn
ing Moy 7th traveling through South
west Georgia, the thriving cities of
Waycross, Valdosta, Quitman, Thom
asville, and Bainbridge. These cites
are in the best farming section ot
our state and the crops looked yood.
On leaving Georgia we passed through
the prosperous little city, Dothan, Ala
bama, and spent the first night in
Montgomery. After taking in the prin
cipal places of this capital city, we
arrived in Selma, Alabama, where
we found that they had a population
of about 50 per cent colored people
for the city and 75 per cent for the
county. We now passed into Mississ
ippi stopping at Meridian and Vicks
burg. From here across the Mississ
ippi River, the Father of Waters, on
a bridge two and a quarter miles long
into Tennile, Loulsianna, where we
spent the night and forenoon of next
day with friends who run the second
largest hardwood mill In the state.
Tney have a beautiful home site on
the bank of a river. This is ideally
located, a golf course is nearby and
you can take your fishing red and
step out of the dwelling about one
hundred feet and you have fine fish
ing.
Through Lou Manna
Upon leaving here we traveled
through Loulsanna north through the
rich Mississippi delta into Arkansas
and to Little Rock to spend Saturday
night. The crops were good through
all this territory and people were
working hard. On Sunday mdming
after attending church we drove
around the State Capitol stopping at
a filling station lor gasoline; here we
noticed a sign "The Largest Filling
Station in the World.” R oovered
one half of a block, not such as we
have In Savannah, but a real block,
and it was four stories tall. Leaving
here we went on through Arkansas
into Tulsa, Oklahoma, where we visit
ed friends which we had not seen
for approximately thirty years.
in this thriving olty of Tulsa of
196,000 people, they have what they
claimed to be the best school system
in the United States.
On leaving Tulsa the newt morning
we drove for probably one to two
hours, when we began passing through
the OH fields where you could drive
for miles and as far as the eye could
ase the derricks of the oil wells were
visible by the thousands, all working
simultaneously pumping oil into tanks
and pipe lines. Tins continued all day
as we drove iiom this state and on
Into Kansas. The first city we entered
In Kansas was Wltlcha where we
visited old friends again. It was rain
ing and they told us that the first
rain they had had for five months
was on the day before and that they
had been suffering severely from dust
•torma.
The wheat fields of this state which
is one of the largest wheat states of
our nation was only about six or
eight Inches tall and headed out,
meaning that they will not make
much wheat this year. From here
we turned East till passing through
oil fields. In one little town we saw
an oil well pumping in the middle of
the street. We spent the night at Em
poria and the next morning entered
the prairie, where you could see pas
ture lands as far as the eye cousd
observe with red beef cattle • with
white faces, grazing in great herds
and sheep by the thousands.
We traveled on into Kansas City,
where the greatest medical organiza
tion in the world, The American Med
ical Association, convened. We attend
ed this convention which was one of
the best, especially from a scientific
exhibit standpoint, this association
has ever held. We had 6749 physicians
registered and approximately 1500
members of the Ladles auxiliary.
Here Mrs. DeLoach was a delegate
from the Georgia Medical Aoxiliary.
Visit Kansas City
Kansas City has a population of
three hundred and fifty thousand peo
ple and their drives and places of
interest are many and varied. Upon
leaving here we drove into Missouri
and the beautiful Ozark Mountains
and had lunch on the shore of an
artificial lake. The Lake of the Oz
arks, one hundred and twenty-nine
miles long. This Is made by one of
the great power companies and this
Is a fisherman’s paradise. You could
see boats by the score and people
fishing. This drive, one of the show
places of Missouri, is about 150 miles
through these mountains. That night
we reached St. Louis, the city of a
million and a half people and located
on the banks of the Mississippi River.
Here I attended Barnes Medical Clin
ic, and together we attended the*
Southern Baptist Convention. While
here we visited numerous places of In
terest, but will only mention two, the
Jefferson Memorial where all of the
medals and gifts together with the
things of interest that Colonel Charles
A. Lindbergh has received are on ex
hibit and the other, the beautiful
Botanical Shaw Gardens. On leaving
St. Louis we traveled through Illinois
and Indiana to Vlncences. Here they
have a large Memorial built to George
Rogers Clark, a Revolutionary hero,
won a victory from the British
at this place. This memorial is to
be dedicated some time during the
month of June and President Roose
velt will attend the dedication.
Travel High Mountains
From here we moved on through
the mountainous regions parsing the
health resort of French Lick Springs
and into Kentucky. Spending the
night at Frankfort, the capital, the
next day on south in Kentucky, pass
ing through a great country where
fine horses are raised and thousands
of sheep. Down to Cumberland Gap,
where Virginia, Kentucky and Tenn
essee Join, here we visited what is
known as the Pinnacle and could see
cities in three different states; trav
eled on through a small part of Vir
ginia through Tennessee and North
Carolina, reaching Hendersonville
about midnight. This drive from
Frankfort to Hendersonville about
325 miles Is mountainous and the
most scenic part of our trip.
We spent two days at our summer
home in Hendersonville, on into Geor
gia and home Sunday night.
This trip took us through, count
ing our native state, 16 states and we
have continued the hobby of getting
a rock from each state to build a rock
garden here at our home. This we
shall continue until we have a rock
from every state in the Union; we
have now one from 26 states.
Although we went through many
states, we found none we think Is as
good as Georgia and no city we think
as beautiful as our own SAVANNAH.

UNFAVORABLE PUBLICITY SETS SLUMP
r 0 MEXICAN DIVORCE DECREES
By RAMON VILLALOBOS
. Central Press Corespondent
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Chihuahua,
Mexico, May 29. —Unfavorable pub
licity in the United States during the
several months to the Chihuahua
state ’easy" divorce, under which mail
order divorces have brought quick
separation to thousands of troubled
husbands and wives, has decreased
the granting of the decrees about 25
per cent in this Juarez civil court
here.
Dozens of law firms located in El
Paso, Texas, and Juarez, specializing
on “international divorces” which
experienced flourishing business in
the past two years, are virtually on
the verge of bankruptcy.
Established in 1931
The Chihuahua “easy” divorce was
established in 1931 by its former gov
ernor, Col, Roberto Fierro, and also
a former El Paeo mechanic, now
head of the Mexican aviation depart
ment, to provide easy marital separa
tion.
Changes in the law have been made
frequently to strength its recognition
in foreign nations and especially in
the United States.
The grounds for divorce have been
increased from 10 to 20 including
bigamy, dishonorable conduct, a crim
inal accusation, three months’ aban
donment and separation for a year
or more.
The law allows women to resume
their maiden names, and provides
maintenance of children by the plain
tiff under laws of state of residence.
If no division of community prop
erty is agreed upon by parties of the
divorce, division will be made under
laws of the state in which the prop
erty is located.
Jurisdiction is established by agree
ment of parties that the Judge before
whom they appear is to have juris
diction. Tacit agreement of Jurisdic
tion is obtained by action of the
plaintiff.
Residence is established according
to ordinance of the municipality in
which the divorce is sought.
By Mutual Consent
Divorce by mutual consent cannot
be granted unless the parties have
been married a year, but divorce for
cause can be initiated at any time.
First notification of the divorce ac
cusation against the defendant must
always be made to the defendant in
person, and in conformance with the
laws of the state in which the de
fendant is resident.
If the address of the defendant is
not known, citation by publication
twice in the official state buleltins
will be accepted, on pain of revoking
divoroe if it is found that the
plaintiff knew of the real address of
the defendant.
The law according to Juarez law?
yers was drawn according to the ac
cepted interpretation of private
rights and international law.
A California superior Judge ruled
the Miexloan "easy” divorces obtained
by proxy were illegal. This decision
was handed down by Judge Marion
G. Woodward, Mirrch 13, 1934, It
was the first blow the "easy” divorce
received in that state.
The California jurist characterized
the Mexican “easy” divorce scystem
of requiring non-residents merely to
file a written consent to a divorce, to
be represented only by a proxy at
the he'ring, as "subversive of Amer
ican policy” and a "gross fraud” upon
the ideals and systems of jurisprud
ence existing in the United States.

the Juarez civil court who is a
bachelor by circumstances, daily
hands down divorce decree to marital
husband and wives. Since he took
office late in 1935, Judge Gonzalez
Herrera estimates he has handed
down decisions in several hundred
cases, almost all to Americans.
Fifty a Day
Judge Ignacio Zamora whom he
succeeded wus reported one time to
have hande dwon 50 decisions in one
day, the majority to Americans.
The Juarez civil court located near
the heart of the town, and known
throughout the world as the fastest
divorce mill, has granted more than
5,000 divorces.
Prominent persons scheming to
avoid publicity generally come down
to Juarez, largest Mexican port of
entry, to obtain a divorce.
Hollywood movie celebrities, who
are supposed to shun publicity have
obtain'd Juarez divorces. Among
them are, Claudette Colbert, Sally
Eilens. Richard Dix, Ned Sparks and
Mrrg&ret Sulla van. Max Baer, for
mer heivywegtht champion boxer of
the world, also obtained a Juarez
divorce.
But the Juarez divorce mill ia not
as active as it used to be.

investigation into the fatal shoot

for several days to “get” persons
who started gossip about him,
police say Lacamera walked into
a hotel room occupied by Mary
Sue Brown, 26, and shot her, then
turned the revolver on Mrs.
Yantis Dudley, 50, and Mrs.
Lucille Limer, 80, as they ran to

H. D. Pollard, receiver for the Cen

pamphlet expressing the attitude of
the railroad on court:sy. "Courtesy,”
states Mr. Pollard, “is just as much

The fmployes of the Central of
Georgia have pledged tthemselves,
says the communication, "to a con

"The comp:tent railway employe
