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.

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.

YORK ST. PHONE 2-212 7 SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, SUNDAY, MAY 31,1936 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. Killed Three Women? jfl&r i» m Nicholas Lacamera Nicholas Lacamera, 36-year-old glass worker, was taken into custody at Fairmont, W. Va., while’ authorities continued their investigation into the fatal shoot ing of three women in a down town hotel. After threatening 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 investigate the shooting. In custody, Lacamera told police, “I can’t remember anything”. PAMPHLET ISSUED BY RAILWAY HEAD POLLARD STRESSES FACT OF EMPLOYE COURTESY TO THE PUBLIC • H. D. Pollard, receiver for the Cen tral of Georgia railroad, has issued a pamphlet expressing the attitude of the railroad on court:sy.
