 The first thing would recom- mend in the course for husbands Is
 a study of diet. The young man
 must get use to doing without food
 and try and cultivate taste for sub
 stitutes such as salad, string beans and tapioca pudding. He also must
 learn to forget that they's such a
 thing like farm sausage, liver and
 bacon, ham and eggs and pancakes.
 He must learn to pertend like his ideal breakfast is F grape fruit. F

 Conversation - Unlest husband
 wants to indulge in a life long mono
 logue he must learn to confine his conversation to personalitys. Many husband has lost their home by trying to learn their wife the Monroe Doctrine. The ideal husband limits his remarks to:
 T seen Mildred today and she looked terrible" or T seen Lizzie this P M. and she looked terrible" History-The husband must school himself to remember important dates in history so as when he is asked what day is this, he can answer right off the reel, this is the 27 of May and just yrs. ago today was the first time you let me hold your hand or the first time you set in my lap at l the picture show, or whatever 1t was l that happened.
 WHEN TO TAKE ADVICE

 That could be easily effected in such way as to make 1t effective early the law recently de- clared invalid by the court could have be- come operative It would be necessary to propose an amendment to the constitution as was suggested in the supreme opinions; then to repass the bill which has been declared unconstitutional with provision that should become effective upon the ratification of the amendment with such changes might be advisable to remedy other defects that have been disclosed in the original bill
 The constitutional amendment would go before the people next backed by the strong found in the opinions in favor of such legislation.

BIG BERTHA
BY DR. FRANK CRANE tCopyright 1921. by Frank CraneJ.

One of the most striking incidents of the war was the bombardment of Paris by from distance of some 40 miles,
 At Coucy-le- Chateau saw the emplacement where the gun had been. It concrete pit, shallow with walls about six feet thick The diameter of the place was about 200 feet.
 The gun marine cannon with an extra tube for ongdstance firing It shot almost straight up that the shells fell almost straight down upon the city
 Among the material the Germans gave up was no such gun. They said they couldn't find it.
 The place is just little way out in the woods from the town of Coucy-le-Chateau.
 Thick forest is all about. Here and there is shat tered tree shell hole where the French shot at it. They never hit 1t.
 It bombarded Paris AS days
 It did not do much damage The wonder is it did so little The Spanish influenza which prevalent in Paris in the of 1918, killed more people in one day than all the German air raids and Berthas killed in four years.
 The total number of casualties in the Department of the Seine Al killed and 910. wounded
 The object of the bombardment of the city pure 'Sfrightfuness; it the policy of the Germans to strike terror to the enemy population and so destroy its morale.
 They did not succeed The Parisian was supposed to be excitable and easily subject to panic But while he gets heated up over small matter he is sngaar1y calm in the presence of great danger.
 During the war Paris gay as 1t ever had been Food was plentiful and living was cheap: The Parisians went about usual undisturbed by the de sruction that staked at monday and the terror that flew by night
 CS1Cu nipples of laughter by the midinettes.
 During one of the worst raids, in March, 1918 bomb fell of the theaters after the play had begun. The manager announced from the stage that if the audience desired the performance would stop and all money would be returned All the actresses were willing to continue Few left; the play went on, after little delay due to the trouble of finding an n derstudy for the only male performer in the cast who was in state of physical collapse from fright.
 When there an air raid at night the siren was sounded and everybody was expected to run to the cellar.
 Many of the cellars were fitted up comfortably, some luxuriously.
 The greatest damage was done by shell that struck church on Good Friday 1918, when large congregation assembled. Eighty-four people were killed and many wounded
 Nobody, as rule, was hurt by Big Bertha shells except those in the upper story of houses The shells falling almost perpendicularly struck the roof and poded. The top stories occupied by servants who were absent during the day from their quarters The gun fired only in the daytime, that it's flash by night would not reveal it to the French air For this particular reason not much damage was done
 The Germans seem to have misjudged the quality of French courage.
 Big Bertha not success.
