REDUCING; DOMESTIC FRICTION

E.S
There Is n great deal written and said
about the unwisdom OF husbands and
wives trying to live with the relatives
OF either.
And In that great deal there IL. as
usual. some sense and SOME nonsense.

when that unit shuts itself up In an In
dividual cell.
But that doesn't mean that. II neceE-
sary and kind TO live with another unit.
the thing can't be done pleasantly. 1t
doesn't mean that all friction should be
condoned at something inevitable.
n-Lnws Can Live Together
Pleasantly
Some Of the friction is inevitable.
And some just comes from n wrong
way Of looking at things
once knew n man who lived for
some years in the home Of his wife's
people. This household numbered among
its members an elderly aunt who was
extremely peculiar Ito put IL mildly
and was constantly doing queer. foolish
things.
Tho husband was man OF strong
personality and one would have expect
ed great fiction to result. On the con-
trary they all seemed to get along quite
pleasantly.
A mutual friend once asked the man
In my presence how he managed TO put
up with the aunts queer ways.
He Lot Her Alone When She Didn't
Interfere with Him

I had been there awhile that the only
way to do WAS TO let her alone so long
as she didn't interfere with me. II I
let myself be bothered by them Of
course the queer things she does would
annoy me all the time. But why DO
bothered II she doesn't get in my way?

IMPORTANT PROVISION OFFERED
FOR MAIN AND CHAPLlNE
STREET SECTIONS.
couniI Committee Hears Proposed No"
Ordinance and Seetions-Aii Re-
- ferred to Special Committee.

| One-way traffic in the business sec
lions Of Main and Chapline streets was
the suggestion offered last evening Dy
City Manager G. o. Nagle before the
committee Of the whole council when
It met to hear additional suggestions
as to provisions to be incorporated
in the new code Of traffic regulations.
Mr.. Nagle suggested that provisions
be made for one-way traffic only
south-bound, in Main street from EleV-
enth to Sixteenth He also suggested
legislation providing for one-way trat'
fic In Chapline street. north-bound'
| from Sixteenth street to Eleventh.
His suggestion would permit parking
on Chapline street all the way from
Sixteenth street to Eleventh except
In front of churches and the principal
business places. He would also pro-
hibit parking on Twelfth street be-
tween Main and Chapline streets Tor
more than one hour.
When the council committee con-
yened last evening, the traffic ordi-
nance prepared by the Ohio Valley
Automobile club was presented and
read for information Of council. along
with separate suggestion from
the Wheeling Commercial association.
Attorney F. P. Mcneil presented what
| is regarded as one OF the most I'M
portant of the new suggestions, pro-
viding that Wheeling Traction cars
! coming either down Main street from
Tenth or from the Steel Bridge stop
directly south OF Bridge place and
Stone & Thomas alley, instead OF
stopping several feet farther south
on Main at Eleventh. This provision,
Mr.. Mcneil points out, will in meas
ure relieve the awkward traffic con-
dtion brought about by automobiles
and vehicles coming out OF Eleventh
street onto Main when street cars are
stopping at that point.
Representatives Of both the Wheel
ing Traction company and West V1r-
ginia Traction and Electric company
presented suggestions as to what they
believe will be best for the CITY IN
connection with street cars. Several
citizens also presented suggestions.
After hearing all OF these sugges-
tions, council as a committee went In
TO executive session. 1t was decided
to refer the suggestions made last eT'
ening. along with some eighty sugges-
lions offered at the previous meeting
of the committee 70 a special SUD-
committee composed OF Councilman-at-
Large Thos. F. Thoner Councilman
". B. Elliott. City Manager G. o. Ma
gle and Solicitor NJ J. Cullinan. This
committee will make special study
of the several suggestions and report
10 the committee OF the whole council
at a later date. The subcommittee
will meet at two o'clock next Wednes-
day afternoon In the office OF the city
manager to take up its task.
Nj. Maggie in his suggestions for
one.way traffic did not include Market
street In his suggestion because OF the
fact that the Wheeling Traction cars
run north on that thoroughfare and
the West Virginia Traction and Elec-
trio company cars south. creating a
natural flow Of traffic each way IN the
business section Of that street.
