Making Marriage Happy.

In a day OF hasty divorces, when
minds are turning to seek ways in which
married couples may live happily, credit
is due to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bodne
OF Philadelphia, who have been married
sixty four years. The fact that they
have lived together that long is inter
esting in itself, but their chief claim to
public notice is in their statement that
they have never quarreled or even ex.
changed cross word

these causes:
Because think there is no one like
father
Because | am always willing to hu
NOR his little ways
Because | will do anything in the
world to please him
Because ! have always given him
plenty of good food
Because have always praised him
when he deserved il"
The huSband's viewpoint OF the'mari-
tai partnership and the reasons which
he finds for the unmarried felicity oi
himself and his wife are contained in
the following

Because never have a vacation IN
less she goes. too.
Because have always been ready to

The fact that this couple continued

and willingness to make sacrifices, each

Cars Too Light

Mr.. Bate believes that the average
car is too light. The Light Six trend
went too far.
So he has worked three years on
Mitchells to double the margins of
safety. The old standard was so per
cent over-strength - the new is 100
per cent.
) Over 440 parts are built of tough
ened steel. All safety parts are
vastly oversize. All parts which get
a major strain are built of Ch1ome-
Vanadium. Gears are tested for
$4,000 pounds per tooth. The can,i-
lever springs are so built that not
one has broken in two years.
The result, we believe, is a life
time car. Several Mitchells have
already run over 200, 900 miles apiece.
But such standards mean much added
cost in these days Of high steel.
