\ MAN and woman who marry A for love must not leave love
 to take care of itself. They must take care of it. Loving is an art, and, like any other art, 1t re- uuires time and attention.
 If 6 husband and wife should only show as much consideration for each other as they show for them selves before their marriagel A husband should be as eager to give his wife little pleasures as he was to give them to himself in his bache- Tor days. A WIFE SHOULD TRY TO MAKE HER HUSBAND HAVE AS HAPPY A LIFE AS SHE HAD HERSELF BEFORE SHE MARRIED HIM.
 If a husband and wife disagree over any point they ought to talk it out fully and fairly. It is the soft answer that provokes wrath inStead of turning it away. Abnormal sup. pres8ion, a covering up of the real thoughts and the real selves seem to me responsible for much marital nphappiness,

REVENUE CUTTER AND LIFE
SAVING CORPS JOINED.
Newly Formed Establishment Be.
comes Part of COuntry's Regular
Defense Force.

New York, Jan. 29.-The United
states revenue cutter service, organ
lied when Alexander Hamilton was
secretary Of the treasury, passed out
OF existence today and was replaced
by the United States coast guard.
All along the Atlantic littoral the
former cutter officers were informed
by wireless today that they were now
coast guard officers, although their
rank remained unchanged, and shat
their vessels henceforth would he
known as coast guard cutters. The
change carries into effect a measure
recently passed by congress and
signed yesterday by President Wilson,
merging the revnue cutter service
and the life saving service. The new
service becomes a part Of the coun-
try's regular military establishment
and in time Of war passes under d..
rect control Of the navy department.
All lifesaving stations will be con-
trolled by the coast guards, and all
lifesaving crews will be made up of
regularly enlisted men. Heretofore
the lifesaving service has been car
ried on the civil list.
The coast guard comes into being
with total personnel Of 4,3O0, COM
bining highly educated officers and
trained seamen from the revenue cut
ter service and expert surfmen from
the lifesavers. Training and develop
ment will devolve upon the former
revenue cutter officers, and active
management will be directed by a
captain commandant, corresponding
to the same officer which controlled
the revenue cutter service.

WARNS AGAINST YELLOW PERIL
FROM EAST.
Also Thinks Germany Will Take Up
Arms Against United States-Says
Philippine Islands Will Have to BE
Given up and Japan will Control
East.

Washington, Jan. 29.-In a final
appeal in the house tonight for a
larger navy, Representative HObsen
OF Alabama declared 1t was his con-
viction that the United States had se-
cured peace with Japan only by g4a-
ing assurances of speedy retirement
from the Philippines. In a part 8f
his speech which went into the reg
ord, but was not actually delivered,
he said he believed that when the
American fleet went around the
world during the Roosevelt admins
tration it was allowed to 60 to Japan
only on the assurance that it would
be out of the Pacific ocean by a fixed
time.
Formal denial by Secretary Brya3l
that the administrations Philippine
policy had been in any way affected
by negotiations with Japan or that
the subject had been discussed heje
or in Toyko was quoted by Mr.. HoH-
son, with the remark that this did n9t
change his belief.
II am further convinced" Mr.. Hob
son continued, that our first inquiry
into the intentions Of japan in seiziug
Kiao Chow and the islands in the
Pacific will not be followed up, at
least by this administration. and that
Japan, as price Of peace will I. be
given free hand in China with the
prospect of the complete overthrow
OF the open door policy, while the
commerce Of America, which in CO.
ton goods alone fell Off over $2o,-
100000 in Manchuria after Japanese
occupation, will be at the mercy OF
competitor, while the overthrow 81
the balance Of power in the Pacific
would lead to an inevitable war"
Representative Hobson reviewed the
situation In Europe. referring to crit.
icisms of Americas conduct in the
war and to arbitrary treatment, .ct
American ships" and declared The
situation closely paralleled the situa.
tion which led to the war with France
in 1900 and to that with England in
1912. .,.
"Napoleon's resentment. which led
to the war with France in 1900" he
said, was not as intense as the grow
ing resentment of Germany today al
the great source of supply Of war ma
terials her enemy allies are finding in
America. Great Britain's attitude to.
wards our purchase of ships of Ger
many is nothing short of menacing."
All these things, Mr.. Hobson in
sisted, proved the imperative neces.
sity Of strengthening the American
navy far beyond the present plan now
contemplated.
In a reply to Mr.. Hobson, Repre-.
sentative Williams OF Illinois ridicul-
ed the idea of Japanese landing an ir
vading force on the Pacific coast. and
insisted that war from any side was
but remote possibility.
