Il don't figure at all that the

The labor people have made
some objections, to the military

I'VE use the military organiza-

to give the boys good carriage,

Beyond that the Boy Scouts

rectly opposed. The military idea
leads to the taking of life, the
Boy Scout to the conservation of

trades unions circles today in
favor of general strike in May,

the repeal of the trades disputes
act of 1908, which permits peace
full picketing, and to introduce
legislation providing for compul-

simply because they want to ad-
vance their own selfish ends and
insure themselves a life of ease
and comfort.

not just theory of my own-it is
based on findings in actual life"
says Miss Fairfax in defense of
her work. 81 spent nearly two
years studying every phase con-
nected with 100 divorce suits Sc
lected at random, and in practi-
cally every instance found that
the selfishness of woman was the
underlying fault.

other interest in their husbands
affairs than to spend money and
keep on spending it. She seldom,
