of a dollar exchange between the United
States and the republics, saying:

might engender distrust and strained re-

ACCORDING to Dr. Baff. Worcester
III scientist and former fellow In psy-
chciogy at CLARK University, specifications
for ones ahinity should be set forth be-
fore marriage, and each Individual per-
son requires certain leading character
iatlch in his or her mate-for-life that
could really be suitable for no one else.
This learned gentleman has set forth
the exact specifications, as he discerns
them through his wonderful psychological
powers for wife exactly suited to Gov
ernor walsh. Of Massachusetts, the
bachelor Executive OF the Bay State He
declares that the right kind of wife for
the Governor is as follows;
Firstly. she must be from feet inches
to feet inches in height.
Secondly, she must weigh from III to
i4s pounds
Thirdly she must be tactful
Fourthly. she must be cheerful at all
times. especially before breakfast. CEspe-
cially before breakfast! oh, dread
ful and searching testi What woman
under the sun or under the boudoir cap
ever is cheerful before or at breakfast
I haven't met her yetD
Filthy, she must be sympathetic.
Sixthly. she must be ambitious.
seventhly, she must be able to sing. 1t
Is essential that her voice be mezzo-so-
prano.
Although the above specifications do
strike one as somewhat absurd. at the
same time there is common sense in the
idea that when a man is looking for
wife he should have certain ideals In
view and some sort of notion as to what
he really wants in the way of domestic
sympathy and feminine understanding.
The trouble. however, usually is to be
found in the fact that few men are de-
liberately looking for a WIFE Their
thoughts are tending quite otherwise. and
they aren't by any manner of means view
ing matrimony as a rosy pathway which
It is desirable to enter. When a man
marries, It is generally because he has
fallen in love. and because he couldn't
help falling in love- Sometimes he has

from Charles II. Day, chief engineer
of the company, that Eaton had offered
