dies.
Many women have given their best
years to serving and making" q
man, only to have the finished prod
uct appeal to some other woman as
q likely sutton. Such a wife has
every right to receive substantial
damages.
This situation brings to mind a
case which happened under the
workman's compensation act. A
working woman who was scratched
by q cat In a grocery store In Troy
has recovered damages. Wives
ought to have a compensation act,
too.
Many a man has married a woman

finity elsewhere. Likewise. some OF
that sort of husbands seem to be so
faithful that they pay large alimony TO
erring wives. but perhaps they are
only too glad to be rid OF these women
with elastic hearts.
LanceI0t and Gutnevere.
In the old days before supreme
courts existed, people with heartbreak
had to shift along as best they could.
These were poor old King Arthur and
his knights of the round table. One
of these. Lancelot, was loved maGly
by Arthur's Queen. Guinevere. a lady
who should have had more perspicacity
by considering that her husband and
his knights had a reputation to pre-
serve.
And IL Guinevere had let Lancelot
alone he could have married Elaine.
whom he met during his affair with
the Queen. As II happened. he was
not free to WOO Elaine and the lily
maid of Astolat died of requited love.
That seems to be the worst of these
affairs, so much devoted love goes to
waste. Arthur In our day could have
sued Lancelot for stealing the love OF
'our dear Queen" instead of murmur-
ing. apologetically. Girls will be
girls" But he was always so busy
getting ready for 1ousts he probably
didn't care.
Hard TO Time Loves Demise.
Just what anyone can prove as to
when love falls I'll. sickens and dies
will be difficult. The change in re.
gard for another is sometimes a slow
and subtle thing. And 1t often begins
When the mira party 10 the triangle
comes into view, not before.
Couples can be sometimes title
tired of each other and yet main
faithful TO their mutual affection
when there 10 no disturbing outside
influence to suggest to one of them
that love" has packed up and left.
How nice it would be IL only women
with husbands worthless, from the
standpoint of providers, were alien.
ated by rich women. Then these
poor wives could realize something on
their partners for the first time in
their welded lives!
-Love'' that can be "alienated" Is
much too dear at any price. as very
likely some men and women who
have had to pay such damages can
testify.
What can be the feeling OF q man
of moderate means who loves his
wife and loses her to a wealthy ad-
mirer. To say that money had no
part in the transaction Is foolish
The changeable type OF woman Is
all too apt to transfer her affections

To consider just what alienation OF

point of view, we have the opinion

young woman assistant to the Dis

the Graham-Hume case today said:

SINISTER METHODS OF LEGISLATION

of congressional action, he continued. The groups seeking this legislation, had InaltLoIied throughout the years until they embraced all kinds of men except tax payers. They were, he asserted, about 250 of them with headquarters in Wash ington with active ndfvigilant 'lobbies. They draft bills secure their ntroduc- ton, distribute them at public expense and lombard committees and congress for their speedy enactment They have members of both houses card indexed. Their aim, he said, is to obtain diserim- inatory legislation and their heaviest guns are turned on the treasury whose former defenders had become either cor rupted or chloroformed.
 The speaker asserted that numerous leagues and associations had been formed since the war to obtain the passage of joint resolutions in congress favoring the creation of new principaIties within the domfnions of nations in whose domestic affairs the United tates had no legal or moral concern. Passage of these resolutions, he declared, committed the nation to a policy involving it in grave responsibilities Yet, he knew of no senator or representative who had chal- lenged the authority of congress to do this

REPORT ON UNEMPLOYMENT
 IN NEW ENGLAND DISTRICT

Boston, Sept 1-Unemploynen has reduced the popuation of Springfield Vermont, by approximately 2.500 from a normal figure of 7,500, according to a report today to John R. <OIeary, di- rector of the New England District of the United States Employment Service of the Department of Labor.
 The unemployment is principally in the machine tool industry many employees having been laid off indefinitely None Of the shops are closed, a three day schedule being in effect generally, the re- port said, but additional men are con tinually being laid off.
 Conditions also continue serious in other sectionsof New England, MT O. Leary's report indicated. The condition, he said, was particularly noticeable in the metal trades, textiles, shoes. build ing trades and transportation. Textile trades however, were said to have showr decided improvement recently witS1 prospects good for woolen goods for the entire winter but metals and metal pro- ducts industries were reported "at very tow ebb with nothing encoura ging in sight"
 Savings bank withdrawals in communi- ties affected by the depression were 1n excess of deposits, the director said.
 The continued unemployment is hay Ing the erect Of relieving the housing shortage in 9 number of industrial cen- ters. the reports indicated. Migration of workers, many of whom have return ed totheir native countries to await bet ter times, and doubling up of families to decrease expenses were among the reasons given by officials.
 In the Springfield, Mass, district, which includes West Springfield. Chico pee and Ludlow. the report estimated the number of vacant tenements at r. 900, while 5000 rooms ordinarily occu- pied by mill and factory workers were for rent Manchester and Berlin, N. IT. reported virtually no shortage of hous- es and improved conditions were indi- cated in Maine.
 In some centers, however, the situation still is acute.
 Mir. O'Leary today sent out question nairies to nearly 500 chembers of com merce, trade and industrial organiza- tions and special agents in the New Eng land territory with a view to obtaining definite figures on unemployment to be submitted to the conference on unem- ployment to be held soon by President Harding.
