Hubby Objects To
Waiting For Full
Moon For Meals

Chicago, Mar. 2S.-The moon s
a poor thing to regulate Chicago
household by, Judge Holmes ruled
/ recently in the case of Joseph
Tranka, charged with non-sup-
port. Tranka admitted having
fled his comfortable South Side
home, but submitted the following
extenuating facts;
If the moon shone in full-orbed
glory, he said, indications We're
that he would get his meals On
time the next day. Four hours
Mrs. Tranka would bathe in the
magical beams and on the morrow
her enthusiasm for work was mar
Velous to behold.
Stars Fix Wash Day, Too.
Washing day was regulated by
the planets, he declared. Saturn,
Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Vensus
and Neptune ordained by their
appearance in the heavens the days
when his shirts should be washed,
And far off in the ether were
nebulae, comets, meteors, constel-
lations, alien suns, fixed and vari-
able stars, which made Mrs. Tran
kas affections likewise variable.
II couldn't stand it," said Tran
ka. 1.-The moon was her ouija
hoard and the stars indicated all
the changes in our household hab-

Every morning she went to see
fortune teller. She would return
too late to prepare my lunch. Al
night she would leave the dishes
unwashed to watch the heavens.
Beware the Quarter Moon

That meant everything would be
peaceful the next day. The house
was cleaned, the meals prepared
and the dishes washed.
But more often the fortune
teller would tell her to watch for
quarter or half moon. Those
were the days | learned not to
come home"
Mrs. Tranka said her husband
left her last week after quitting
his job. The latter told the court
he was driven to it, but promised
to 20 back and provide for her.

that the naval balloon missing

it was last reported, a navy diri-

by President Harding.
Low wages are preventing many
Englishmen from coming to this

France the present rate Of ex-
change on the franc is an almost
insurmountable barrier to immi-

noticeable note Of expectancy in

Britain Plunged Into

Question.

London, March Britain is
being plunged into a big political
and industrial battle over the
question of protective tariff,
The DOGGY man" of German
dumping is being trotted out daily
in support of this and that group
of manufacturers who put up em-
phatic claims that their industries
are key industries and must be
protected.
The immediate occasion for it
all, aside from German dumping,
which is a real menace, is real
menace, is the determination of
the government to introduce an
anti-dumping bill in Parliament,
At the last session it was in
tended to rush through the anti

Topped off, made separate meas

industries which would make

Results In Unemployment
The issue now before the coun-
try is clear cut protection against
Germany, which is accused of be-
ing largely responsible for the
growing unemployment.
The opening of foreign trade is
universally elected as the one

Sir Robert Horne, president of the

and Grace had to go to the grocery.
On the way to the grocery she met

hard. She said she was lost. All
she could say was that her name
was Mary Smith. Grace went in
search of policeman and told
about the little girl So they found

her mother and they spent a joyful
day. They were always good
