Divorce Is comparatively scarce among
Irish people. because the Catholic religion
does not acknowledge divorce. Conse-
quently. members OF the race seem to
tread paths that lead them far from the
misery and the sordldness Of the divorce
court.
The chief characteristic Of the Irish
woman is, Of course. a wonderful sense OF
humor What race for laughter II isl
The Irish see Joke In most things, and
laugh their way through life-except at
really critical times, when they are capa-
bic of great initiative and seriousness.
In married life sense OF humor Is
essential. II is n boon and a blessing both
to husbands and to wives.
They tell us that the Irish are untldy
and lazy. Well, they may be-but un-
tidiness in a house ruled by love is far
better than scrupulous exactitude, pune
tuality and neatness where love has been
driven away by overmanagement.
I have visited many cabins and little
homes in Ireland where the roof leaks,
pigs abound, potatoes grow and swarms
of children play; and in these simple
homes there were far greater love and
peace and happiness than in the man
sions of many millionaires.
The audacious motto Of the old roman
tic days, "All for love and the world we'll
lost" is particularly true of the Irish.
Though in marrying an Irish girl the
world seldom is lost, for her vivacity and
courage inspire a man to conquer the
hardest of fortunes, and to win through
to a successful end.

UNEARTH OLD WATER MAIN
Brick Conduit at City Hall Probably
200 Years Old

A water main probably 200 years old,
the handiwork OF the builders OF old-time
Philadelphia, was discovered today in
City Hall courtyard. A pumping station
was situated in what is now the court
yard until 1901, when 1t was torn down.
The water main had been out of commits
sion for probably Lib years.
Workmen found the main, constructed
of brick, 10 feet below the surface. The
section extended from the wall of the
west section of City Hall to the south sec
tion. Within few hours all traces of It
had been removed in the process OF the
excavations.
All the digging on the west plaza Of
City Hall is covered over today and, in
spite of the rain, work is going on as
usual. The earth is taken in wheelbar-
rows to a small opening. through which

Paulding Banker Shows How Sugar
Beet Culture Increased Prosperity.
That the establishment OF the sugar
beet industry In Ohio will result In an
increase of S20.0O0,00O In the value OF
farm lands in the state by the end Of
the present year is the statement Of c.
IL. Allen, a banker OF Paulding, o.
"Ohio and Indiana should become as
great producers of sugar as Michigan"
said Mr.. Allen, land they will unless
hostile legislation by congress inter-
feres with the natural development o.
this industry. In Paulding county
alone, although the beet sugar factory
here has been in operation only two
years, the value of farm property has
increased 100000 as a result of the
introduction of sugar beet culture. An
other result has been the investment OF
100000 or more In other beet sugar
factories in this section of the state
within the past year, which in turn
farm land surrounding them, adding
S2O,OOO,OO0 or more TO the agricultural
wealth OF this region.
ASIDE from the direct financial re-
turns that have followed the estab-
iishment Of the sugar beet industry in
Ohio, there are numerous other benefits
which, though not SO direct. are M
less important. To obtain good results
from beet culture farmers have found
1t necessary TO pat more hand labor

sands of men. women and children
are being taken from the overcrowd-
ed sections of the cities of the state
and set TO work on the land. a back to
the farm movement that is OF real
practical value.
This increased til!age OF the soil is
the very best-and in fact, the only
efIectiye-means Of overcoming the
weeds that are the chronic enemies of
the farmer, choking his crops and ex-
hausting his soil. BESIDES all this. we
