BY JOHN P. MEDBURY.

A lot of women are getting
divorce because their husbands
aren't handy around house
They're handy around a house all
right, but not their own.
A husband used to swear to love,
honor and obey. Now he has to
swear to love, honor and do all the
repairing.
Most of them would repair a
fourteen-inch water main for some
brunette, but they couldn't fix 4
fountain pen for their wife.
Still, 1t is cheaper for a woman
to marry a plumber than 1t Is to
hire him.
Working hours don't keep him
away much. Unless he belongs to
. good union he's home most Of
the time, anyway.
But after he gets married he
finds it not SO easy to walk out
every time he feels like II.
Marriage is a union, but you've
got to put In more than eight
hours.
Marriage Is work and the judge
is the only one who can excuse
you.
Some women marry y tall guy
Just SO they can have somebody
around the house who can reach.
But lot of them don't reach
there until or o'clock in the
morning.
The women seem to forget that

difficulty Of reducing member bank bor-

LONDON, Sept. 2.--It is the ernanci-

The world Is not going to the bad.
On the contrary a great religious

DIR. II. F.. Horton, of Hampstead.
cuts into national discussion on
"Why Has England No Time for
God?" with the above explanation OF
one of the mysteries OF the day, and
most reassuring argument concerning
the worlds moral state.
"a contributory cause to the appar-
ent Indifference OF religion today Is
the change in the status OF women.
"Women are not now so religious as
men.
''Throw OFF Restraints"
I'm the past women We're the sup
port of the church. The emancipation
of women has tended to make them
throw off the restraints and practises
| OF the church, and think you would
not find that the churches are so
empty because the women are absent.
The sudden assumption of position In
| the world has brought n reaction
which is very disturbing.
"But only for moment | have
strong conviction that the world Will
right itself. I am surprised that the
war has not produced in England q
| greater spiritual and moral collapse
and l gather great hopes from TINS
| fact.
People are not nearly 80 bad us We
are inclined to think.
"Antlclpatc Relation Movement
PERSONALLY anticipate great re-
| ligious movement, not In the form OF q
revival, but in change OF religious
forms which will make the religion
that is taught fit the new Ideas ant
wider knowledge OF our time.
IL can see no indifference to th'
great questions OF life, and OF the sou
and OF God. but only signs Of NAL
adjustment between the old ways ant
the new knowledge.
THE Improvement in life an'
| habits today Is due to a religious If
which has not come much TO tn
| front. There is a greater sobriety AM
greater decency. and London is almos
reformed city compared with wha
II was when | first came here. Thi
is due to q religion which works no
through the churches, but through
