In Chicago. where the matrimonial
situation appears to be always acute
and where divorces do most abound.
a woman has been handing out some
heart-t0-heart talks to other women
about how to hold husbands affec-

Of matr'mony." -ea
These words are. without doubt,
pearls Of wisdom. but, like other
pearls. they are only to be taken to

Fifty Dead in
 Bad Explosion,

Hearst News Special to the Graphic.
 Chicago, Jan. 20.--At least fifty are dead in an explosion which destroyed an intake along Lake Michigan. Fire followed, hemming the men In like rats. Some managed to make their way out and get to the surface of the water. One man, when rescued, was badly frozen and could not take hold of the rope thrown out to him. Thirty eight in all were rescued. Some tried to escape from the shaft by the bucket at the mouth of the tunnel but this was not working and they had to submit to the fire. Fifty bodies have been taken out. Probably more have lost their lives.
