Women is often referred to by man as
doubling his joy and halving his
sorrows. That may be complimentary
but 1t would seem to be rather hard on the
woman. For in plain terms it means that
where things are going well with the man
his wife makes them 60 better But when
things are going i'll with him, he expects
the wife to share half his burden. And
there's more truth than poetry in this pre-
sentation of masculine selfshness Men
don't appreciate the fact that the strain of
motherhood alone is burden bigger than
all the loads that rest upon male shoulders.
They see the wife grows thin, pale, nervous
and worn without thought that she
is over burdened. Among the pleasant
letters received by DR.. Pierce are those
from husbands who have walked up before

upon the wife, and in the search for helm

three members of the committee were
absent Then it was agreed to allow
the bill to go TO the floor of the senate

The bill prohibits Sunday theatre and
baseball or other athletic sports where
admission is charged. 1t will have a
hard time in the senate, but may get
through on marrow margin. The SEN

the proposed law and friends of base
ball look to see the bill killed there if
the senate does not perform the as
