Dorothy Dir's Letter BO1

Dear Dorothy Dix: A young man wants to marry me, and l like him very much In fact, I am half in love with him, and would be wholly in love with him except that he has such 9 Viol snt temper that 1 am afraid of him. At the slightest prov ocation=often at no proVocation at all-he flies into 8 perfect passion and says the cruelest things he can think of. It's all ove~ in a few moments and ne is humble and con trite and ready to do anything to make up, and he thinks that 1 should be willing to forgive and forget as easily as he does. As 1 said before, this man is lovable, and l am strong ly tempted 70 marry him, but some intuition tells rle not to do it. What do you advise? JOANNA B.
 Answer: I think, Joanna, that your guardian angel is working overtime trying to rave you. Listen to the voice of the warning. and as yeu value your happiness, do not marry man with nigh temper.
 Temper wrec'Ss moro marriages than drink and infidelity and every other cause combined. It Is a worse vice in either man or woman than drunkenness or unfaith1ulness be- cause it is more continually indulged in. A high tempered woman can make any home on earth a hell. So can a high-teinpered man.
 If you pnarry high-tempered man you wifi go in fear ana trembling all your days because the dread of rousing him will hang like the sword of Damocles over your heau. You will live in continual dread of say ing something that rifles him, of do- ing sonnet thing of which he disap- haN H. ure every time anybody he doesn't like comes to the house, or the monthly bills come in or the roast is overdone or underdone. You will be mortified q million times by hav- ing to go through scenes in which your husband behaves like fool and a crazy person because a waiter made a mistake. or a taxi driver overcharged him, or somebody jos- tied him in a public place.
 And the chances are, your husband will be a failure ir business because high tempered people never get along in the world. Nobody except a mans wife is going to bother with a man who has to be handled with gloves. A high temper is nothing but selfishness and lack of self control, but its a brute's weapon with which he clubs his family into doing his way. And there Is no such domestic tyrant in the world as the high-tempered man.
 Marry any ether man under the sun rather tnan~the one with a tenn per hung on hair triRger.
 Dear Dorothy Dix: Will you write something about in-laws who are perpetually underfoot. My wife is the dearest little woman m the world and I desire above everything else to make her happy. but we come pretty near to scIappif1g over the perpetual visits of her family. l realizesthat she loves her Uwn people and desires to have them with her, and I do not object to this in mod eration, but in the two years that we have aeen married we have not

had a single week to ourselves Mother or father, or sisters or broth CTS are always camped in our guest them out. so the Lord knows what am to do about it. Can you suggest any remedy2 JOHN x.
 Answer: Alas. John, there Is many another poor husband in your fix whose in-laws regard him as their meal ticket. Indeed 1 have heard more than une mother say compla- gently that it was so nice that Ethel was going 10 marry man who lived in the city because it would be such an advantage 70 the younger girls to be able to spent their winters with her. In fact. tt is quite the usual point of view for family to con sider that their daughters husband runs a free hotel for tho remainder of the family. So. if 1t is true that misery loves comfort, you have the consolation of knowing that there are thousands of other young hus- bands in the same boat with you.
 Of course, there Is no justice in family thinking that because young man assumed EthePs support he is called upon to feed and lodge and amuse Ethel's parents. and her broth CTS and sisters, and her cousins and her aunts Nevertheless, this is the family's attitude. As soon as Ethel is settled in her new home her family descend upon it like the wolf on the fold, and Ethel weeps if husband doesn's give them all the glad hand. It takes money to feed people in these days, and it takes still more money to take them to places Of amusement, but the poor young hus- band is expected to foot the bill no matter how little able he Is to do so.
 Besides which the young couple Is deprived of all privacy by this con tinual family visiting. And that's what a man marries for. If he want ed to see his wife always in the bosom of her family, he would not have assumed all the responsibilities of matrfr1ony for the sake of being alone with her.
 Before marriage, every young cou- pIe should draw up contract specl- fying and setting apart certain time for family visits, and the family on both sides should subscribe to this, and keep to the regulations, Tor in this way alone can the visiting in- laws be abated.

TRAFFIC MEN IN FAVOR OF BETTER EXPRESS SERVICE
Bureau Wants Car Sent Earlier in Day From Hartford to
 New Britain

At . meeting of the New Britain Traffic bureau tomorrow noon at the New Britain clubs the members will discuss express service to this city. Under the system now followed by the New Haven" road express matter coming to New Britain is shipped first to Hartford It is then sent to this city, reaching here on the S:20 a. m. train. Members of the traffic bureau believe the service would be inn proved if the express matter could be sent to this city on an earlier train. A report on the subject will be made by Walter L. Bell
 The bareau will also discuss the shuttle train between Berlin and this city. The impression has gained ground that the New Haven" road is trying to duplicate the famous "Toon- erville Trolley" and members of the traffic bureau are of the opinion that conditions could be improved.
 E. K. Burr will lead the discussion on a proposed joint meeting of the New Britain and Hartford traffic busi- ness It is probable that the two bureaus may arrive at an understand ing so that they will work in har- mony, their problems being practi- cally identical.
 Other subjects to come up at the meeting are the increased rates on communication books, loading New Haven" express off the system and the United States freight traffic asso- ciation. A nominating committee will be appointed.

Executive power was hedged in by severe limitations. Gov ernors and judges were to be chosen by the legislatures in many instances, and both by these constitutions and by that Of the confederation. continu- ous tenure in all official positions was regarded. These provis- ions afforded an impressive lesson. not merely by that In which they suc- ceeded, but more in that in which they failed. for their ineficiency in the desired results was a forcible argument for strong ex- ecutive.
