telephone companies to unload upon the government.

the country and 1t probably Trustworthy forecast of
the immediate future During the course Of readjus-
there will be here and there labor surpluses and
labor shortages. but for the country as whole there
will be plenty of work for all who want to work The

On one side OF the hall in the new

Slnithers; on the other side Of the hall
lived two glfls who taught in the pub
lie schools and who were having their
first experience in "baching it." Mrs.
Smithers didn't know them very well,
but she took motherly interest in
them to the extent Of hoping that they
had enough to eat and that their neces-
sarily hasty and amateurish spread
would not give them Indigestion.
The other day, out Of kindness Of
heart. she took them batch of fresh
biscuits she had just baked. And while
she was there, she showed them how
to use the stove. gave them some hints

marriages now held by some "advanc.
ed thinkers" seems very like the GUS
toms prevailing among primitive saw
ages.
AS the human race has advanced in
civilization the tendency has been to-
ward more permanent homes and a
certain degree of fixity for the mar
riage contract. This can not have re-
suited because any authority like a
church prescribed it. It must have
come from the feeling of the commun-
ity that there was a social and racial
advantage.
1t is a fact that marriage was not as
binding tie in Greek and Roman CIV
ilization as 1t is now. Perhaps that
Is one reason why those civilizations
failed. Changing homes means less
care in forming marriage unions,
which must tend to production of more
mongrel types, who create less sub
stantial foundation for society.
The business partnership theory of
marriage, terminating unions with
ease and dispatch when they prove Mt
all uncomfortable, falls down in two
respects. r-
First, it makes no suitable provis-
ion for children. Every boy and girl
needs personal attention, of father
and mother living together in a
