DIVORCE REFORM IN SCOTLAND
New Grounds In Lord Alness's Bill
LUNACY, CRUELTY
AND CRIME
A bill introduced in the House of Lords by Lord Alness, a former Lord Justice Clerk of Scotland. seeks to amend the divorce law in Scotland by embodying.
in the main, the recommendations of the majority report of the Royal Com- mission on Divorce of 1912.
Among the additional grounds for divorce proposed in the mea- sure are that the defender; ·
Has. deserted the pursuer and persisted in such desertion for a period of not less than three years:
Is a lunatic and has, since the date of the marriage, been con- tinuously detained as such for a period of not less than three years;
Has been gulity of cruelty to- wards the pursuer;
Is undergoing penal servitude In pursuance either of ́a zen- tence thereto 'or of commutation of sentence to death;
Has since the date of the.mar- riage and within five years - mediately preceeding the raising. of the action for divorce, been convicted at least three times of a crime, and sentenced on any such conviction to imprisonment for a period of not less than six months;
Is an habitual drunkard. PERMISSIVE PROVISIONS
As regards desertion, which has been a sumcient cause for divorce in Bcotland since 1573, a memor- andum to the bill explains that "the ground requires to be cleared
that year, as, owing to its terms, it has been decided that the men- tal attitude of the deserted spouse must always have been one of ren- diness to receive back the deserter
Scouts, therefore, got down to ed of their nationality some time by the repeal of the Scots Act of making themselves as comfortable as possible during their stay. Upon the shoulders of Scouters Chan, Lobato de Faria and So, who were by the natrol leaders, fell the re- sponsibility of organising the camp properly and arranging a suitable but busy time-programme.

STORM
Success Of New Rockets
Successful tests with new types of rockets under severe gale con- ditions were made recently by the combined Bridlington and speetón Rocket Brigades at Speeton Clifts.
Sunday morning proved to be Visitors' Day for an endless round of friends kept coming into the camp to spend the day out with the Scouts. The constant interrup- tion to their work and the job of showing every visitor round the camp to point out those ingenious Scout-gadgets and explaining their respective uses, kept the boys on a never-ending move. Among the calters were the Rev. Fr. G. Gallagher, S.J. Director of the Wah Yan College), Mr. Chow Cheng-lum (Headmaster of the A new rocket was fired 30 yards Wah.

However, the "repeat" that followed despite the casual first remarks did credit to the cooking done by the Scouts. Washing up followed and the visitors were not permitted to take a hand in it.
Perhaps it is not out of place to mention the courtesy of the police when, notified of the intention of the Scouts to camp in the Kowloon Hills, they put a couple of Indian constables on duty along the path leading to the alte, with instruc- tions to the pair to report to the Scouter in charge twice a day to find out if all was well This ac- tion on the part of the police was verg much appreciated by the Scouts as their friends kept coming in to see them throughout their stay in camp.
