FAMILY IS
DIVIDED FOR
HAPPINESS
Actor Says Love Is Ruined by
Intimacy and Separation
Is-Remedy.

By NEA Serrice
I EW YORK, Oct. 3.-Is love
i'm ruined by the intimacy Of
E family life?
Can a family more easily find hap
piness by dividing-separate house
holds, two roofs?
Richard Bennett and his wife and
three daughters, facing these prob
lens, throw custom to the winds and
say: "Yesp'
Lover" says Bennett, noted actor.
That's exactly why we're separating.
Our family is splitting three ways be-
cause we love each otheT-not be-
cause we don't We're dividing so
well be happy family-so everyone
will have a square deal. It's a radi-
cal experiment in equaaity-whtch
ought to begin in the home"
Bennett says clashing tempera'
menrs are responsible for this new
theory of family love and housing,
which has just been carried into
effect, ard which eclipses in novelty
the matrimonial experiment of one
breakfast-together-p tried by
others.
Constance With Mother
Constance, our oldest daughter,
now Is, is moving into one apartment
with her mother" he said, Barbara
who is IT, is going with me into
another four blocks away. And Joan
she's 13-is already 81 boarding
school.
There's my wife-Adrienne Nor

A good actress as well as a good
mother. Do you suppose I want her
worried with the care of a large es-
Enlistment, playing ladies' maid to
three girls old enough to look out for
themselves, and waiting on selfish
husband7 No. I don't.
Constance is older" he continued.
Barbara has an inferiority complex.
When you develop a strong nature
In one member Of a family, someone
else has got to be yielding. That's
the law of averages.
Can't Manage Her
Constance goes with her mother
because well, frankly her mother
manages her better than can. for
can't manage her at ALL"
He laughed, indulgently.
."And I'm taking Barbara to bring
her out" he went on. when tho
family unites, as it Will, Of course.
Barbara isn't going to lace anybody's
shoes or run errands. I'll guarantee
that.
Joan is better off in boarding
school, learning to depend on herself,
than to be at home copying things
she is too young"to know about and
being pampered by her parents.
Meanwhile, Barbara Is TO appear

The Exile

So you're from Home? Well I'm
sequestered

In Lotus Land-though somewhat
pestered
By ants, mosquitoes, snakes and
fieas.
And lazily the days GO fitting,
And mines cinch, beyond
doubt
But tell me how Babe Ruth is hitting
And how Ty Cobb is making out.
Afar from all the silly capers
OF politics and business strife,
Afar from telegraphs and papers
I'm living here the simple life;
It's soft and pretty I am sitting
With azure waters all about,
But-tell me how Babe Ruth is
hitting
And how Ty Cobb is making out.

How many home runs Babe is hit

And how Ty Cobb is making out.
You're going Home, where newsboys

And strident Klaxons split the air,
Where life's a scrap-you lucky fell

But when my contracts up, I'm quit

And see myself how Babe is hitting

Wives

Eighty-seven out Of every 100 wives
omit their husbands in their insurance
policies and leave their money to some
ether relative. According to an in.
surance expert in Philadelphia.
His explanation is that the wives
feel IL they die their husbands can
take care Of themselves and don't
need money help.
Nevertheless, it's a queer bit of
psychology that makes a wife decide
against leaving her money to her
husband because he doesn't absolutely
need 1t. The answer probably is that
the money usually is left to a child or
dependent parents. Things that seem
queer" on the surface usually have
simple explanation. Life in its
various ramifcations is simple, after
all. not complicated.

By HAROLD G. PLACE

ri HE farmer of the Middle West
| is still restless a. q dissatisfied.
- and will remain so until he gets
what he terms a square deal" The
farmer, generally speaking, is dis
couraged, but not hopelessly so. He
is stunned and bewildered by his I'M
comfortable situation, but he is not
quite clear as to how he got there nor
has he any definite idea as to how he
is going to extrtcGte himself.
For the most part, the farmers are
inclined to depend upon the Farm
Bureau leaders to rescue them from
hard times. Those who do not belong
to the Farm Bureau Federation live
in hopes some political or economic
miracle may be worked to place
things on a more equitable basis.
Legislation Not Cure-All
His reaction was manifest first in
the political field because that was
the most obvious and most immediate
method whereby he might register his
dissatisfaction. He still has lot Of
faith in the virtue of political action.
but realizes legislation is not the cure
all for the agricultural ills existing.
The mental status of the farmer to-
day, however, is improved over a year
ago. With the possible exception OF
the farmer who is relying entirely on
his wheat crop for revenue, the farm
ers of the Middle West, buoyed by
steadier and higher prices for corn,
hogs and cattle. are feeling a trihe
mara optfnnfstfc
Wheat Price Minor Factor
The low price of wheat. while
serious in the extreme northwest, is
really a minor factor in the situation.
It's importance has been oVer-em-
phasized when considered in rela-
ton TO agriculture as a whole. Wheat
represents only about 6 per cent Of
the total value Of farm products.
The statement that the farmers of
Iowa and the Middle West are bank
rupt and penniless is false. They may
be hard up, but the are not broke.
Generally speaking, the farmer is do
ing little buying. His purchasing
power has been diminished to point
where he is only buying the actual
necessities OF life.
One exception to this general condi
ton may DO noted The farmer is
continuing TO buy automobiles. He be-
ueves the automobile TO be a necessity
in his business and. somehow, he
finds the money to afford one.
VIII Break Even
The majority Of the farmers in the
Middle West, outside the wheat belt,
will lust about break even financially
this year, while some may make a
little money.
Obviously, the chief trouble of the
farmer is he receives too little for
what he sells and pays too much for
what ne buys. Farmers want prices
equalized, but they are not sure how
this can be done.
There is considerable resentment
concerning the high wages being paid
labor in the cities.
Occasionally, however, you will ind

his situation. such as Ira Baker of

may have money to buy the products
Of the farm. We ought not to be-
grudge the laborer the money he can
command"

that they cannot escape punishment
in his court. The judge in passing

That would encourage every young

judges were to take the same course
that would be much less crime In this
