pounded in the Senate today by Sen
ator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massa-

chairman of the Senate Foreign Re-

KNOX SUPPORTS LODGE.
Supporting Senator Lodge in up

gold to Colombia for territory diverted

mote friendly relations between the
South and Central Americas was SEN

days she has had a trunk transferred
to the home of a friend.
Up to yesterday she had been visit
ing friends whose acquaintance she
made when she was employed as a
hair dresser in a Newark department
store. Early yesterday she told one
Of her friends she was going to a new
address for a few days. This address
she said, "she would keep secret"

Miss Carolyn Potter, whose depar-
ture from Miami took place about the
same time that Mrs. Leeds and Bertha
Potter fled from there, was still at an

AS for the pessimistic view that ro-
nance is dying out In the United
States. DIR. Reede said:
'It is typical of the male Of the
species to demand copstancy OF his
mate, even while he strays. 1t Is mas
culine egotism.
Man is proprietary. After he mar
ries he looks upon his wife as prop
erty to remain his through life"
EXHAUST IS HUMOR.
The typical American husband re-
presses his emotions, as does the
typical American wife, DIR. Reede says.
The typical American husband is usu-
ally in revolt against his wife as the
censor of his morals, he added. but he
disguises this revolt In humor. He
makes "wheeze or two and relieves
his feelings.
There are no other people in the
world as romantic as we are" said
the scientist. "Longfellow's idealiza-
tion of romance as expressed in The
Courtship OF Miles Standish" is our
guide. The American. tradition is that
youth must court only one maid. his
ideal OF womanhood, just as Priscilla
was John Alden's ideal; give his love
to her only and remain constant TO her
until the end of his days.

young man should have his affairs

to enable her to marry your orator"

decree was entered as a record in the
Texas courts Peggy represented that
she had divorced "poor dear Phil

made no finding with respect to the
residence of either the plaintiff or

DR.. Reede admitted that harsh
things may be said about marriage.

prosaic harness to people of imagina-
tion. but he predicted that young peo-
pie will continue for generations to
marry in the same old way. and
there'll he the same old wheezes in

About the worst thing that may
be said about marriage Is that " en-

Even though women gain more
freedom, in ruy opinion 'hey will al
ways have to suppress their indi-

cessary for the success of marriage
