Judges Declare the

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-Two New

the home. In awarding the de-
cision to the wife in Police Lieu
tenant McConville's suit for divorce,
Judge Giegcrich said. in reply to the
complaint that it wasn't a husband 8

ters Of the household. 1.-The husband
should know that the wife must be
the supreme head of the house, and
that - should give her full COM
mand Of everything"
Judge Geismar. another New York
magistrate. Quenched the hopes Of
another divorce-seeking husband by
reminding him that "In the home the
woman Is the boss. When the hus-
bands foot crosses the threshold of
his home he ceases to be ruler"
Judge Geismar has tried out some
Of his ideas in his own home and
has unquestioned authority. The
Judge holds that II the responsibility
and hard work OF housekeeping all
devolve upon his wife. she should
be vested with a certain amount Of
power to pay for her trouble.
In addition every wife should be
given bank book, according to the
Judge. He says:
u would have every wife who has
proved herself an efficient manager
Of domestic business given a bank
account by her husband. one pro-
portionate to his income. and on
which she could draw according to
her needs. The effect Of this would
.be quite as beneficial to the husband
as to the wife. She would no longer
feel herself a servant and a pen
sioner, and 1t would be brought home
to him that she was half the Arm"

The Joys of the Road

Now the joys of the road are chiefly
these.
a crimson touch on the hardwood trees
A vagrant morning wide and blue,
In early Fall. when the wind walks, too:
a shadowy highway cool and brown,
Allurlng UP and enticing down.
From rippled water to dappled swamp,
From purple glory to scarlet pomp,
The outward eye. the quiet will.
And the striding heart from hill to hill.
An idle noon. bubbl.ng spring,
The sea in the pine-tops murmuring;
A scrap of gossip at the ferry:
\ comrade neither slum nor merry.
Asking nothing, revealing naught,
But minting his words from a fund Of
thought,
These are the joys OF the open road.
For him who travels without a load.

George Washington Uni
versity win its first basketball game
from Ingram by the score Of 26-s.
Ingram has been the victor In all
four Of the previous games between
these two teams and George Wash
ington is inclined to be most Jubl-
liant over the result.
The university team benefited
greatly by some changes in the
lineup. Though the forwards re-
mained the same. Miss Gardner was
put in at center. replacing Miss
Field. who played side-center. Miss
Hotchkiss. the former side-center.
Joined Miss Tyndall as guard. Ali Of
those who were changed played
better at their new positions than
they had previously in the year. and
1t is expected that this will be the
official lineup for the trip to be
taken the third week in February.
Miss Seibold and Miss Reeve
played their usual excellent game
at the goal end of the field, the
former scoring sever field baskets
and four goals from fouls, ,<the lat
ter four field goals.
For the Ingram team. Miss Smith
at right forward and Miss Little at
center were the stars. Miss Smith
showed that. with more effective
support, the score for her side
might have been greatly increased,
for her three field goals were made
from difficult angles. and she found
no difficulty in making goals from
fouls. Miss Little's work at center
was uniformly good. and she
stopped number Of Miss Tyndall's
long passes.
The position Of side-center seems
to suit Miss Field better than CEN
ter. At least. she played much
more accurately on Monday even
ing than she has before this sea-
son. The effective guarding of Miss
Hotchkiss kept the Ingram left for
ward from doing any scoring, while
