Man Is No Longer
Master of His Home

LONDON, April fl have snvar-
fably found that where a man knocks his
wife about it is the wife's fault" said
Mr.. SIMMONS, the Clerkenwe1 magis-
trate. during the hearing Of a case where
q woma1~had charged her husband with
assault
A man. commented Mr.. Summons, is
no longer master in his own home. A
woman promised TO love, honor and
obey" but obedience could not be en-
forced
Under the good old law he said, "a
man could thrash his wife SO long as
the stick was no thicker than his thumb.
But now the law was weakened, and we
had instead those miserable maintenance
orders and there was no domestic happi-
ness"

What are you going to do for your children tonight?"
 That Is getting to be the question among fathers and mothers of Bir- mingham when they meet on the streets these days when they gossip over tea cups, and when they call one another over the telephone.
 i've just simply got to arrange something happy for them, or they Il feel just like i'm neglectlng them."
 Thls from one mother who said sine had forgotten all about children s programme one Friday night. She didn't remember 1t till other fathers and mothers began trooping by, talk ing their children out on educa ational tours. to picture shows, places of amusement or a neignboring childs home.
 She hustled around fast, -got the kiddies all ready, and made good quickly by getting girl friend to give an animal magazine show. Ev- erybody cut out animals in the mag azines, and drew them, too, and then learned all about them. It was great fun.
 Believe me, T. certainly learned a lot of things 1 didn't know about ani- mals. l was ashamed or myself, laughed the mother. T thought knew how to put legs and ears and eyes on an animal, but when I put them where I thought they ought to belong, those animals looked so funny! And the children would scream with joy. Children are very quick to notice things that are wrong"
 Two married couples who are very fond of one another have arranged for this winter to be at each others homes on Friday nights. They will take tip the first part of the evening entertasning the little folks with every bit of ingenuity they possess, and reading to them, or helping them to put across plans the children them selves have made.
 For instance. their children want to make four big scrapbooks, and the parents are to help them pick ou he things they love most.
 After the kiddies are all safely tucked into bed, the parents will play cards enjoy midnight lunch. and discuss business things, for the two
