BERLIN, Nov. 23.-Marriage, and
not the maintenance Of peace and
work. is the first duty of citizens

Alarmed by the decimation OF the
population through more than ten
years of uninterrupted wars, and
the present disposition to shirk
matrimonial duties, the Kemalist
national government has introduced
a compulsory marriage law in the
national assembly. 1t provides for
the punishment of matrimonial
slackers.
Translations from Turkish news

press give the following provisions

otherwise the marriage will only
be postponed until health is re-
stored.
3. II a husband must travel and
is not financially or otherwise lin
a position to take his wife with
him. he may get from local
authorities a matrimonial leave
Of absence" II circumstances
make it necessary for a husband
to live apart from his wife for a
great length of time. and his
means permit it. he shall be
compelled to take a second wife
and upon his return home bring
her with him.
4. Men who have reached the
age Of fifty and have but one
wife, though their means would
enable them to marry a second,
and they refuse to do so. will be
compelled to educate and main
tain one or more orphans.
5. Men who are not through
with their college or university
studies at the age of twenty-five
are freed from the duty of
marrying until their studies are
completed.

LONDON, Nov. 24.-Before
the new Parliament-the fifth
since the reign of King George
was four hours old, the
powerful labor group in the
house of commons began TO
make its opposition felt this
afternoon.
Hardly had the echoes of King
Georges speech opening the ses-
sion died away before J. Ramsay
Macdonald, Laborite and official
leader of the opposition, was in
the midst of debate, declaring
that the section of the royal ad-
dress referring to unemployment
was entirely unsatisfactory to the
Labor party.
Macdonald did not move the re
lection of the kings speech. but he
said that the references to unen-
ployment and ameliorative measures
showed that Premier A. Bona
Laws Tory government did no'
realize the suffering in the fam
lilies of the 100000 idle men and
women workers. II would grow

KINGS SPEECH DRAWS FIRE.
King George had stated that the
new government would carry on;
with extensions the relief measures
inaugurated by the coalition govern
ment of former Premier David Lloyd
George. This was what drew the
fire of the opposition leader.
Macdonald declared Labor was
not satisfied with the amelioratfve
measures proposed by the Lloyd
George government.
Macdonald said he and his col
leagues in Commons would scrupu-
lously observe the truce" until sfter
the Irish bill is out of the way.
This must be done by December 6.
King Georges speech contained
less than 500 words. and follows:

Something to Think About
Blu F. A. UALKER

And these usually are the people
who habitually complain.
They have ceased to see the sun
light or to 10Y forward. They sit
dejectedly at the crossroads, while
others pass them and go on their way
rejoicing.
A mar or woman Is not better than
his or her memory.
Each may have ability, pleasing
manners and good looks, but If he or
she is deficient in memory the road
will take to nowhere save to disap-
pointment.
The fact Is that good memory is at
the base of every great success, hav-
ing for its helpful couriers energy,
Industry and probity which give to
memory a strategic position from
which 1t cannot be shaken, even in
critical moments of stress when every
thing depends on the right move.
He who misallies himself with bad
memory, refuses to manage his men,
DRY or drill 1t with utmost care, which
he can do by continual practice, allies
himself with failure, and in most in
stances he has nobody to blame for
his misery incapacity and inherit
ance but his miserable self.

MEMORY

TT is observed that the educated
\ have, as a rule, a better memory
than the uneducated. The reason for
this is obvious.
The n class exercises it's capacity
for carrying things in its mind and
thus gives memory strength, endur-
ance and ability to recall events,
names or dates at a moments notice,
while the other class permits memory
to become flabby and Indispensable.
Each individual has within his or
her brain a certain amount of reten-
tive power, beyond which he or she
cannot go without unusual effort. And
If the effort is not put forth regular
ly, with persistent determination TO
improve, memory will not of itself
make notable progress.
There are, it is true, native differ
ences of retentive power.
One child Is from the first capable
OF retaining impressions of all kinds
more easily than others. A child with
a good natural ear for musical sounds
will be likely to retain sounds and
their SUGGESTIONS better than another
child deficient in this sense-endow-
ment, and so it goes through child
hood to old age, with memory playing
fast or loose as 1t has been taught.
Faulty memory, If you go deeply
into its cause, you will find very fire.
quently is the result of %inattention,
especially in adults who have become
absorbed in the problems of life TO
the exclusion Of everything else.

We know what is going on in Sydney
