 A Man Who Won Out
 Next came an Italian woman. with a suIlen face and a fretting baby. ac- companied by a weak-Iooksng man with a broad, Slavic face. They were intro duced by a social worker from one ot the city charity bureaus who explained that the case was getting quite beyond their abilities and that they would ap- preciate some advice from the judge The woman had two children by a for mer marriage, and the man had two children sby q former marriage. in ad dition to two children by the present marriage. The man. was an easy going rather dull creature. very fond Of his home and children, and exceedinly do- c1le in the matter of handing over his wages. The woman. on the other hand. was obviously bad tempered, and com pletely under the domination Of her 16- year-old son, who, it appeared, was tho cause Of all their domestic tribuiation. Among other things. the son was fond of flonrishing q knife when irritated. according to the social worker. so that the husband had recently felt that the wise thing for him to do was to leave home
 This was the only case during the en- tire morning where the woman was rebuked by the judge She was told to take her husband back and be glad that she had a man who would hand over to her his entire weeks wages. ''Now." !" said the judge, twe'1l put the boy on probation in the children's court"
 In prosecuting the man. the court has in mind, of course the welfare of the children, since society expects the man to be the breadwinner And if he doesn't live mp to this expectation. he may be sent to jail. Unfortunately, this is what happens in too large a percentage Of cases. and society is re- auired not only 10 support the children bpr to support their father while he 6 serving his prison sentence. Thus. the only person really benefited is the averaging wife.

or not the wife is telling the truth, and often we are able to effect a reeoncilia- ton between the couple aDefore the case comes up bfore the judge. Most of the casese which do reach him are pretty hopeless. I guess. Here is enc of the worst ones we've had now"
 A Hard Case
 A nice-loolIing woman, neatly dressed entered the room, leading a. little boy and a girl. She was followed by a tall slouchy man wearing a rumpled suit The woman ignored his presence en- tireiy, but the little girl stared at him curiously for a moment and then made a friendly move toward his chair. The man started to draw the child to hlm, then evidently thought better of 1t, and stared straight ahead.
 The woman took the witness chair. She told the judge That she had been working in a dyeing and cleaning es- tablishment to support herself and two children. She made s30 a week. Two weeks ago she had been told by an eye specialist that she would shortly be blind if she remained in the dyeing and cleaning business. Her husband had left her and had contributed nothing to the support of his family since the summer before. He was now living with another woman as his wife, She two Of them being employed by hos p1Ial Tn BfOOklyns Sne said.
 Upon questioning the man, he freely admitted that such was the case. and complained bitterly that he had just been discharged from the hospital be- cause his wife had made such a howl about it." He had been willing to re- turn to his family on Christmas day, he stated magnanimously, but his wife had no home for him to return to.
 An Advanced Husband.
 tsNFxr 1ynrdtv exclaimed the nrObafiOn officer, this man expects his wife to provide the home"
 Apparently there are some things that can still astonish a probation of ficer in the domestic relations court. The man was placed under bond for two years to contribute so much per week to the support of his family.
 The next case was an excited old lady, with a deeply furrowed face and stringy gray hair, who was applying for support from her son. The son, a ismal-looking creature who showed his thirty-five years bitter struggle with poverty. took his place before the judge.
 What does your son do?~ inquired the judge of the old lady.
 Anything he can, I suppose she said nerVously.
 ''Who pays the rent?"
 Nobody"
 HOW much money ildNe N3t
 ''I ain't got no money at all.''
 Well. don't you know what your son does for a living? No, answer me don't speak to him.
 .'He used to be driver and he worked on the snow for a waila. but don't know what he does now
 After many questions. the judge fin- ally discovered that the man was Q driver who earned eighteen dollars a week WheTI he worked. but that he had been out of work for a month or more. This called forth a lengthy judicial rebuke.
 There is plenty of work for every body" declared the judge. You are just lazy.

Dr. Ben Reitman, erstwhile partner of Emma Goldman who is now taken up her residence in Russia-Ben is an interesting old bird And interesting ton for whether they be high or low, saints or crooks, conformists or anarchists.
 Once we hunted out Dr. Ben's domi- cile and pulled the doorben.
 Hello he yelled through the speak Hello we answered, will you talk to me for a few minutes?''
 I'll talk to anybody with a clean shirt, was his cordial assurance. Come on up
 We got a good story out of him on the subject of birth control. But it was something of a shock to step into the home of an anarchist and see marry a bomb or an internal machine. Only his aged mother was with him.
 As set forth above, he Is interesting. Here's yarn about him, clipped from the Chicago Tribune:

 For Dr. Ben Reitman-lately the big gest pickle in the Dillpickle club led his flock to the Relic House. at 2437 North Clark street, and established the House of B1azes'' last night, where they versed and rhymed, foamed and fumed, and orated at great length.

 The principal speaker of the evening. he announced. had torn his pants and could not attend. So Bert Weber. a confessed poet. rattled off the fol- lowing anent prohibition:

 The grapevine elings to the moulding

 Gone is the kick sans alcohol. The day is dark and cold and drear.
 Thursday night. it was announced, will always be poetry night, when all may come and read their renditions-
 We are glad to see the doctor take q part in the Camel's Backs nation wide campaign to make Thursday a mid week holiday. Ben's House of Blazes will be open every Thursday night. We are taking steps to have specimens of f1OuSe OA DtdASS pvetHS SA1AhitASu " this fearful weekly for publication. The doctor must understand, of course. that we cannot pay much for contribu- tions accepted Perhaps not more than an unused pretzel for each one. And on nights when the stuff. in Ben s opinion. is punk we will permit him to contribute about 300 words on @AIirth ControlD or How To Read a News paper" Or what have you, Ben2

AN OLD STORY

By Guy c. Terhune An Arab sat within his tent;
 The night was cold without; Between the flaps a camel poled
 His black and ugly snout Good Master" quoth the clever beast, May l but warm my nose? The frost is in the air tonight.
 And cold the north wind blows" Poor beast" the master made reply, There's warmth enough for two; So stand and bask beneath the rays Until you're heated through" You know the olden story
 And how it came about: The camel crawled within
 And kicked the man without This paper shortage smites us sore" The Big Editions wall. This worthless stuff we must cpe cut And all our dope curtan." Then cheerfully he Little Ones
 Responded with these words Well limit everything we can.
 We'll cut it into thirds The moral here is plain 10 see:
 need not loudly shout That Big Editions soon will freeze The Smaller Fellows out So wall your sorrows long and loud Until the people know ysat what would death impart 10 yen RtA bring the nation woe.

FIRE

1t took just about twenty min
utes last Sunday night for fire to
drive Mrs. Alice Dewitt from her
home on Sunnyside and do dam
age of 500 or more to her house
and another $700 to the contents.
The fremen did quick work and
saved the adjoining properties of
Jay Kane and j. Winkels.
The origin of the fire is thought
to be defective wiring, as the blaze
was spreading rapidly under the
roof in the back part of the house
and there had been no fire in the
stove for some time.
Mrs. Dewitt was awakened by
the FIRE and made her exit to the
Winkels home, next door east.
The property was only recently
purchased by Mrs. Dewitt from
Walter Jones.
