Los Angeles, CAL, Aug. 27.-Can a
marriage agreement made along
lines contrary to all accepted and
revered convictions result in a happy
union?
Carleton WashbUrn and his wife,
who will celebrate their first wedding
anniversary Sept. Is, 1918, say it can.
Eleven months ago Carleton Wash
burn Of Pasadena, Cal, and Heluitz
Chandler of Philadelphia were mar
ried in that city after signing a mar
riage contract, the terms of which
bound them only so long as each was
attached to the other by love. Either
discovering that a mistake had been
made; or finding a greater love, was
free to follow the dictates of con-
science and the other must neces-
sarily abide by the result.
Each was to earn money except
when the wife should be incapacitat-
ed by the duties incident to child
bearing or rearing, Carleton being
protected by a clause absolving him
from any duty to maintain the wife

or child should another man be the
father.
The attitude of compulsory obliga-
ton in the present marriage contract
which this couple maintain initiates
against harmony and love, was the
reason for this unique marriage.
The ministry rose in a chorus of
protest. Friends of the families
turned shocked faces away-but the
young people stuck to their contract,
despite all this.
Now, after nearly a years trial the
couple are fully convinced of the wis
dom of their course.
''Our marriage has been one con-
tinual honeymoon, said Mrs. Wash
burn.
''The principles set forth in our
marriage contract are responsible
for our happiness" asserted young
Washburn. Love cannot be fettered
by the mOckery of custom, code or
creed.

answer to the divorce problem; free

THE FIELD OF VISION.
Even Persons With Normal Eyes Are
Partially Color Blind.

Partially Color Blind.
The various tests for color blindness
have come into practical use in the ex-
animation of railroad engineers and
the like, where the ability to distin-
guish colors Is necessary, so that these
tests are no longer peculiar to the lab
oratory. But 1t is not generally known
outside the laboratory that everybody
is partially color blind-that is, In GER
tain parts of the field of vision
The most normal individual can see
all the colOrs only when he looks di-
rectly at them If looked at from an
angle Of about fifteen degrees red and
green can no longer be seen but in
their places will appear shades OF vel
low or blue This region of the eye is
known as the yellow-blue zone If the
color be moved still farther to the side
the yellow and blue Will disappear and
only gray can be seen. This region is
known as the zone of complete color
blindness
An interesting theory In regard to
these zones is that every normal eye
represents three stages of evolution.
The zone of complete color blindness
Is the lowest stage and appears in
such animals as the frog, whose vi
sion is known as shadow vision. The
blue-yellow zone is one step higher In
the scale. although not clearly marked
off in the animal kingdom. And the
appearance of the red-green zone
marks the highest stage of evolution.
Cases of color blindness are, according
to this theory, a lack of development
beyond the early stage in the individ-
ual life.-Professor Poffenberger in
Strand Magazine.

BROKE UP THE GAMES.
CharIey's Antics With His Dread an
Butter an, SUGAR OnU

charley's Antics With His BREAD an
Butter an Sugar On"
Charley was nice husky boy, but
he had one serious fault, which deem
1t my duty to mention, although 1t was
perhaps a natural symptom OF real boy
hood. In the middle of an exciting
game of woolly-woolly-wo three-old-
cat, nibs or shinny he would slip away
home, to return presently with a per-
fectly paralyzing slice of bread an but
ter an sugar on.
Now, if you were ever boy yourself
you'll agree that Charley was very i'm
moral to behave that way. The effect
was always disastrous. The game
would come to an immediate halt,
while every kid in the bunch gazed
longingly at Charley's lunch, each of
us ruminating silently on the wisdom
Of combined attack, since none of us
would for moment think Of trying to
share the tempting tidbit single hand
ed. And that, too, you will say was
natural enough if you've been a boy.
But the particular reason why Char
ley's offense was immoral was the way
be carried his bread an butter an sugar
on. He didn't hold it in the grasp of
his hand like other boys; he elevated 1t
daintily on the tips of his fingers and
thumb. just as waiter carries tray.
That, say, was immoral And he ate
around it In concentric circles, ever ap-
preaching the supreme saccharine pin
nacle Of palatability at the geograph-
ical center of the slice But long be-
fore he had circumscribed his luncheon
the first time most Of us would be
scampering for home to get the nearest
imitation that long suffering mother
could produce.-William Brady, NJ. D.,
