Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have
been married twelve years and have
three little children. 1 have had
reason to believe that my husband
was true to me and loved no one
else, but now l am, beginning to
doubt him.
When so many of our men were
called away by the draft he was
promoted and in his new position
he has a stenographer under him.
He and the stenographer are in q
room all by themselves working.
She is very pretty girl and one
he could very easily love except for
her character.
We live out of town and my hus-
band drives to work every day.
Lately he has been picking up this
girl and taking her to work. He
also drives her home. Even when
l am in town and go home with
him he takes her along.
Now he has told me that he
thinks we should have her out to
dinner some night. l think this is
going too far. He must think am
blind if 1 can't see what is going
on right under my nose.
What can l do to make him be-
have himself? Shall l have a plain
talk with him?
ANXIOUS WIFE.
You may be sure that If your hus-
band were not honorably interested
in the stenographer he would hide
the evidence of his interest from
van nd tho nnhIjN
It Is a common thing now for
men to drive office girls to and
from work. Every generous-heart-
ed man does so ii it Is not an in
convenience.
Probably the stenographer Is
valuable help and he wants her to
feel contented IN her position. AS
q means to promote friendly feel
ing he would like TO entertain her
in his home where she can meet
his wife and children.
You have absolutely no cause to
be jealous and should be glad that
he trusts in your hospitality anG
faith in him. The firm would not

SAYS CHURCH SHOULD
FIND BEER SUBSTITUTE

KINGSTON, Ontario, Dec. 3.-"If
the church takes away the beer and
spirits of the workingman. often the
only miserable pleasure, left him, IL
has to put something IN it's place"
said Prof. ]. l.. Morrison, of Queens
University, in the second of his series
of four lectures on "The Reflections
Of Demobilized Officer" before
Queens Alumni Conference. He criti-
cised the church because II had not a
policy or advice to offer to the world
as 1T stood on the brink OF an indus
trial war.
Since the war, Prof. Morrison con-
tinued, the Anglo-Saxon race had been
overcome with a plague OF vulgarity.
In this connection he criticised the
movies" especially in their effect
upon children. The "cheap and nasty
representations of false and sickly
emotions" shown in the cinema, as he
has seen 1T in England, were training
the children, if not in vice. then in
vulgarity which was a door to vice.

CHURCHES OPPOSE BILL
FOR EDUCATION DEPT.
Delegates Meeting Here Not In
Favor of Cabinet Officer Heading
Proposed Bureau.

Unexpected opposition to. the
Smith-Towner bill creating a Fed
eral department of education was
voiced this morning at the Inter-
church World Movement Training
Conference now in session at the
First Congregational Church. DIR.
Clyde +. Armitage. local representa-
tive of the interchurch movement,
said that another bill was in process
of preparation which would provide
for a Federal board of education
rather than a department. and point
ed out certain Disadvantages of the
Smith-Towner bill.
He said the design of the substi-
tute bill would be to take the matter
of education entirely out OF politics.
The board of education. correspond
ing on a national scale to the local
city and county boards of education,
would be made up of representative
men from various political parties
and various walks of life.
He stated that the head of such a
Federal board, who would be Sc
lected by the board itself, would be
able to give his entire time to edu-
cational matters and would not be
distracted from this work by the
complex duties of Cabinet officer,
as would be the case under the pro-
visions of the Smith -Towner bill.
Nor would his work be interrupted
by change of administration.
Answering the question how the
AIneriCanization elements of the
Smith-Towner bill would be provided
FOR in tho new plan DIR. Armitage
said that this matter is taken care
OF both in the substitute bill and in
the Smith -Bankhead bill. which was
reported fayorably by both Senate
and House committees at the last
session of Congress. and which an
propriates f12,500,000 yearly for a
period OF seven years, plus $3.50, 900
per year for the training OF specIoI
teachers TO conduct courses in
Americanization.
Although the Smith-Towner bill
has been officially indorsed by the
interchurch organization, the Wash
inGton conference, after the discus
sion to"Cy. declined to go on record
as favoring the bill.
