GIVES THEM TIME TO THINK
Unique but Effective Treatment Ac- corded Quarrelsome Married
 Couples In Swabia

In Swabia they have a curious GUS tom aimed at reviving harmony In troubled homes. Whenever married couple, declaring incompatibility of temperament, seeks divorce, instead of appealing for conciliation to a magis- trate who may or may not be q psychologist and may or may not be blessed with persuasive eloquence, the authorities shut up husband and wife in a tower, allowing them only one fork and one plate between them. The result of the experiment is then pa tiently awaited.
 The story goes that nine times out of ten, at the end of few hours of this inconvenient regime, the two are released from the tower perfectly rec onciled Material necessities have drawn them together and effaced the sentimental misunderstanding. And they return happily to their dwelling they return happily to their dwelling to breakfast more comfortably in the peace of the reconstituted home, whose imperfections they no longer perceive.

Edward Charles was a logical sort of person. Incidentally, he was in love. But love wasn't strong enough to swamp his logic.
 Thus 1t was that Eve Maude. his adored one, received the following strange love letter:

A signal and the song be- gins, and the lines of warriors on each side of the room surge against the sunbearer in attack. Eventually he scatters and vanquishes his many foes New Years day finishes with feasting and jolliGcation.
 
 The Aztecs of Mexico and Central America had a bloody and complicated ritual for their celebration of the re- turn of their masterful war-god, the sun. We find scattered through the tangled jungles of Yucatan many huge ruins of the wonderful pyramid cee- monial edifices upon which horrible sacriiieial atrocities were practiced in heraldng the New Year. The Aztec has vanished from the face of the earth. The jungle has swallowed up the sun gods altars.
 The ceremonies occupied period of several days The initiatory rites be gan before daylight of the first morn Ing. when the chief high priest and his carbohydrates wended their way in solemn procession to the top of their pyramidal sanctuary. Here the high priest retired alone to small temple, east. and as the rising sun crimsoned the sky he knelt and sprinkled thickly upon the marble floor the sacred meal.
 As the first rays of the sun strike slantingly across the floor of the tiny temple. the bended priest beholds a miracle.

New Yeaf with them Is the day of their great est feastng and merry making. con sistlng largely of an extravagant use of saki, or rice beer.
 The principal ceremony Is the great bear feast, called Omsia, in which a huge bear is slain and sacrificed as special offering to the god Kamui, who is the guardian and protector of their homes throughout the year. It Is necessary to conciliate this god by the special donation of bears meat that their lives may be free from the persecution of the unseen, intangible spirit demons who seek 10 do them harm.
 IL Is said that the bear for this feast is raised from cub, sucked by an Anu woman. AS the end of the year draws nigh they fatten the feast bear for the coming celebration with carefully prepared foods. The kill Ing of the bear is done in curious way. Two falr-sized logs are dashed, one above another. to standing tree, and extend horizontally resting upon the ground. The entire clan takes part in the killing. which is accomplish ed by putting the head of the animal between the logs and squeezing out it's life.

 Among primitive peoples the year is marked off in seasons. usually the planting, the growing, the harvesting and the season of rest, or 1t even may be by p,oOns and suns. But let the division be what 1t will, 1t is based on those marked physical changes which appeal to the senses as light and dark ness. heat and cold. the lengthening and shortening of the day.
 Think how deeply must the short ening of the days, as fall comes on apace. affect the imagination of the primitive. The sun. their all power full deity who gives them warmth and growth. and life. wanes and grows sluggish and sick until daylight be- comes SO short that the terror-stricken primitive hearts pray and plead and invoke the malign and baneful gods to remove their pernicious influence from their dearly beloved sun-god. How great is the joy and feastlng on the first day. the New Year. when he starts slowly back 10 them. to gain day by day a greater vigor and beauty. un- til in June he reaches the continuation of hIs power.
 So it Is seen that the shortest day fin the year. December q. in our cal endar. Is quite properly the last day In the year. And II is equally fitting that the succeeding day, when the sun commences his return march. should be hailed by glad and happy hearts.
