WIFE DISCRETION
ID II a Disease Caused by Ner-
yovs Tension?

Chicago Tribune: "Won't you
come lack, pap. dear'' writes a child
of 8. who signs herself Little Dorothy,
addressing her father through the
medium of q newspaper. Dorothy's
father deserted his wife and children
months ago anu has not been heard
from since. The family is convinced
that no accident happened to the man
that he merely deserted.
There are thousands of such little
Dorothys in the United States. Wife
deserticn is becoming a grave social
disease in every large city. Men
who for years we've faithful providers
for their families suddenly find a
pretext, OF without any pretext at all,
disappear. throwing their wives and
children into an abyss Of poverty and
hopelessness. The wife deserter him
self usually turns up a broken dere-
lict In an under world flop.
What is the psychology of the de-
serters Is 1t possible that a man who
has been a faithful father to his chill
dren has suddenly turned into a heart
less monster? Are AL wife deserters
such monstersf Or is the fus tive hus-
band and father, perhaps, \ victim of
a nervous diseasef We know that Gel
tain forms of industry nowadays veal
out a mans body in a period OF fourteen
years. At 40 the manual laborer is
often old. and not infrequently a can
didate for the grave. Is it possible
that wife desertion is but an indication
of = frayed mind, q mind worn out q
little ahead Of the bodys Is it the
strain Of competition for the job, and
of application while on the job, that
undermines the brain and causes many
to seek rest and relief in fight from all
responsibility An inquiry into the
root aus of desertion, not the out
ward manifestation. is sure to be in
terestiug. 1t might be helpful.

GOT HIM TIGHT
Judge McNulty Fixes Young
Man So He Will Support
His Wife.

Aberdeen. Nov. 30. Lloyd Batemap,
an Aberdeen young man, is going to
be good to his young bride. formerly
Miss Lillian Sharer, to whom he was
married yesterday.
Such a promise is usually made by
most bridegrooms, in n form or an
other, bot young Mr.. Bateman has
more than the usual incentive TO keep
the promise. for he made it to Judge
Frank McNulty of the state circuit
court, and there is a condition attached
to a breach of the promise that he
doesn't care to face.
Young Bateman was arrested a
short time ago on a statutory charge.
Miss Sharer, who is under age, being
the complaining witness. He was
found guilty. but before sentence was
imposed he married the young wom-
an Then he was taken before Judge
McNulty, who sentenced him to five
years at hard labor in the South Da-
kota p~snitentiary at Sioux Falls. but
suspended sentence provided Bateman
promised to support his wife, remain
in this state. refrain from the use of
liquor, and report to the clerk of
courts once each month.
All this Bateman promised and vas
allowed his liberty SO long as he keeps
his word. After making the treaty
with the Judge, Bateman installed
his bride in furnished apartments
and then started out to end a job.
