HOW A MAN PICKS A WIFE
Reached by the Registrar at the
Boston City Hall.

Edward w. McGlennen, registrar at
the Boston city hall since 1900, who
keeps record of that city's marriages,
has found in his study of the subject
Of selection that association deter
mines a mans course in the selection
Of his wife, and when you have chosen
your vocation you have automatically
chosen your lifemate ut the same time,
observes the New York Herald. Mr..
McGlennen has found that tailors mar
~ tailoresses, longshoremen choose
mattresses, many employees and clerks
marry stenographers, while profession
al men more often pick their wives
from the girls in society in which they
move.
After eighteen years of daily obser-
walton of the way and habits Of pro-
spective homemakers, Mr.. McGlennen
has come to the conclusion that prox-
unity is the chief determining factor
In a mans choice of a wife.
In the long and voluminous marriage
records the various averages Of the
different vocations show that chauf.
feurs and cooks are attracted by do
mestics, while tailors, dressmakers and
milliners incline toward still closer re-
lationship. Salvation Army men choose
a Salvation Army lassie. the sea cap
tain picks q good housekeeper ant
home body, while seamen generally
fall in love, when ashore, with wait
resses who serve their meals. Mr.. Nc
Glennen believes that good looks and
good clothes are not such an impor
tant factor as generally belieyed-l'
Is ALL matter Of environment. Tht
telephone operator is a favOrite will
the soldier, also the nurse who min
listers to him when wounded. Lunch
room proprietors more often marry
their cashiers, and so 1t goes on,
What puzzles Mr.. McGlennen, how.
ever, is why a mariner chose dent
lists assistant as life mate and how
a street car conductor came to picl
out an actress for his wife. These are
exceptions to the general rule.

Alcohol and

Why Passing q John Balleyeosn

Says one motorcar builder who is
also bit Of philosopher:
Old John Barleycorn is getting ready
to take the count. By next July he'll
be groggy and by January 1, 1920, the
average citizen will not be able to flll
q thimble. What will this mean to the
automobile industry? A great deal,
VIZ:
1. There will be few motorcar acci-
dents, because rum has been at the
bottom Of most disasters.
2. There will be fewer arrests for
speeding, because It is rum that makes
the auto 60.
8. The pest Of the roadhouses and
their bars will be removed, thereby en-.
HANGING touring for those who don't
care for barroom lettering and the pur-
suits thereof.
4. Billions Of dollars spent for booze
will be available for other purchases.
The motorcar industry will benefit by
this.
8. There will be more alcohol to put
into anti-freeze mlxtures-not for the
human system. but the automobiles
system.

Without the Wind and Air
All Life Would Cease and
Vegetation Would Perish

Everybody knows what the wind is,
Of course. Why, you can feel It, 'and
see the trees bend before 1t, and the
dust carried along and leaves over
turned and the clouds moved by the
wind, writes George F. Burba. in the
Columbus Dispatch. The wind is a
movement Of the air; when the air is
still, there Is no wind, and when the
air moves hurriedly that is what we
call wind. Certainly all Of that is
simple enough.
I But sit right down here and try to
figure out what the wind is, and where
1t comes from and where 1t goes-and
yet we ind that the fellow who wrote
in the Bible that no man knew from
whence the wind came. nor whittier 1t
listeth. had it about right. It is easy
enough to know the effects Of the wind.
The hot winds Of summer burn and
scorch. and the cold winds Of winter
bite and sting. Moisture is absorbed by
the air when the winds are blowing
or the winds dry up the roads. as we
say.
Neither the birds nor the animals
like the wind. They avoid 1t the best
they can, both In winter and in sum-
mer. They prefer a calm. quiet day to
windy day. They make their homes
and nests where they will be least af-
fected by the wind. You will always
find rabbit sitting where the wind
doesn't blow upon It; 1t is protected
from the wind always. The same thing
is truo NJ 0thQr animals and NJ tho
birds.
And yet the wind is tremendously
useful. II the air were to remain mo-
tionless for q day. If a perfect calm
should come over the face of the earth,
life would cease to be, and vegetation
would perish. Everything would suf-
focate or be destroyed. For it is the
wind that keeps the earth pure and
sweet and fresh. and prevents animal
life from burning up, and makes vege-
table life possible.
And when 1t comes to pure delight.
there isn't anything that exceeds the
wind. To have 1t pass over us, to feel
1t upon our cheeks, even when It is
cold and harsh, surely there is nothing
more glorious. To walk in the face of
a storm, as If meeting the wind half
way-there isn't anything finer than
that, and we are going to miss lot Of
pleasure IL we do not get out and face
the wind-and enjoy 1t.
