FAILURE TO THINK
, BLAMED BY JUDGE
FOR DIVORCE EVIL
Lair Says Marriage Can Be
Success Without Robbing
It of Romance,

Marriage must be put on think
ing. as we'll as a romantic basis"
Women are more loyal to the
home than men are"
Thus Judge Frank J Lair Of jul
veIIile court summed up the marriage,
divorce and triangle" problem.
Sitting in the courtroom. where he
sees only the unhappy marriages and
the results Of broken homes. the judge
affirmed his belief in the success of
marriage as an institution
Il cannot Judge it by what 7 see
here. " he asserted. 4 like to get out
ana see the many happy families"
Denies Love Is Blind
Denying that love is blind" Judge
Lahr said persons in love can think
Of the true meaning of marriage, but
that too often they do not.
1T is a matter of education" he
said. Young people are not trained
TO think of the family. which is the
fundamental institution of life. but
Aonly of the pleasures of marriage.
1That is why trouble. when it comes,
too often breaks up the home. The
young husband and wife do not ex-
pect it."
Behind the judges chair hung a
large American flag. Taking as an
illustration the institution for which
the flag stands, Judge Lair con-
tinued:
Must Study Marriage"
To many people. our government
IS just the shouting of a campaign
parade. the touch Of a policeman's
hand. the traffic regulations. Others
study civil government and know for
what these surface signs stand.
80 It is with marriage. We must
study It. And we can. without rob
bling 1t Of romance.
Il believe every high school and
college should have a course in do
nestle life"
1t is the mother instinct which
makes the woman more loyal TO her
home, the judge said.
ROmanticism Blamed
w hen mother IS 4 inquire IN q
love Triangle usually she is q very
romantic woman, who finds the drudg-
cry of housekeeping too hard 20 bear.
"One type Of man involved in
'triangIes' IS the man VINO has no
definite trade or business. He is &C
customed TO drifting around. Ere
quently he has the poolr0om habit.
When troubles come after marriage,
he drifts back to the poolroom, leaving
the wife to face the troubles alone.
HE may drift on into the company Of
vanother woman. And the wife may
seek happiness elsewhere"
The judge does not want 70 take ro-
nance out Of marriage.
Don't say that" ne admonished the
reporter. Romance is all right.
But young people must be taught not
to expect marriage &c be all romance. -
