to me and ignore me in every way pos sible, except at such times as they de sire assistance. My wife also treats me with contempt and spends all of her time while am away at work visit ing them and on Sundays and holidays she goes off with them on long motor rides.
 There is nothing common between them and myself. The people in the vicinity in which live now are not in tcrested in anything that I am inter- ested in and my whole environment is very distasteful to me. Now, what am I to do? 1 want to go back to my old home, even if 1 have to live alone. I would then be among my old friends and my own kind of people and 1 feel that would be far happier. Please advise me.
 DISCOURAGED FATHER.
 Answer: I think you will be
 very wise to go back to your own
 people and spend the balance of
 your life with those whom you find
 congenial, and who will respect
 and admire you instead of snubbing
 you as your ungrateful family does.
 You have done your full duty to-
 ward your wife and children, and
 if they repay your kindness with
 neglect and insults you are cer-
 tainly under no obligation to en-
 dure it.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-11-18

It is too late to make your children over now, Discouraged Father, but save your own happiness by going away where their ingratitude cannot sting you and where you can live the kind of life you want to live. That much you owe yourself. DOROTHY DIX.

dislikes my mother. I tell my wife that she will not have to live with my mother and need not have anything to do with her, and hat I feel that l cannot afford to let this opportunity slip, but she will not listen to reason and declares she will never go. What do you think I should do? I want to be fair to my wife, and yet I do not want to throw away the chance of my life. JOHN.

ROW OVER LEAGUE
 AT BOX HEARINGS
Senator Reed Clashes Over Atti-
 tude Of Jury Of Award

Washington. Jan. 23.-A row over the League of Nations broke today at the inquiry of the senate propaganda committee as Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri, one of the league irrecon- cilables, sought to develop the atti- tude on this question of the members of the policy committee and jury of award in the Box world peace moye- ment.
 There were several sharp passages between Senator Reed and Senator Caraway, democrat, Arkansas when Miss Esther Everett Lape, member fin charge of the policy committee of the Box award, insisted upon her right as q witness to respond with more than mere "yes' or mo" to questions propounded by the Missouri senator.
 Senator Reed opened this phase of the inquiry by asking Miss Lape for an expression of her own attitude on the league. She replied that she was not supporter of the league in its present form, but had become an ad- herent of the league in her own mind" Later, she added that she would be for the league with the reservations proposed in the senate.
 The witness insisted. however, that in organization of the policy commit tee and the jury of award, the league question had not been considered in any way.
 Did you know Of any person on the jury of award, who was against the League Of Nations?" asked sena- tor Reed.
 'I did not know whether they were for or against the league, as ] have said. their attitude was not taken into account when they were selected"
 When Senator Reed again pressed his question, Senator raraway inter- 1 rnpted 10 say that considering the tn- ! tolligence Of the jury Of award, "I would naturally think they were in- ! serestei in some kind Of league" Senator Reed retorted that this was | a matter of opinion.
 Miss Lape several times appealed [ to Senator Moses for permission 10 |

STORES FLOODED BY BURSTING OF PIPE
More Than 2,OO0 Pairs of Shoes
 Damaged by Water

A frozen water pipe on the upper floor of the Modern building on Main street burst last night and flooded the Modern Boot Shop and the fur shop of 1. Meshkin next door. Over 2,000 pairs of shoes were damaged in the Modern store but no damage was done in Meshken's place of business be- cause of the fact that there were no goods in the path of the water.
 The police were attracted to the stores about 4:s0 o'clock this morn ing when streams of water were seen gushing from beneath the front doors of the two establishments. The pa trolmen made their way into the cell lar and Shut of the water and then notified the proprietors.
 In the Modern shop, tiers of shoes which were standing along the side walls were water soaked and the water flowing through the floor pour ed down on all the reserve stock in the cellar. making most of the shoes unsaleable. When the manager of the store arrived on the scene short ly after being called by the police, he found about six inches of water on the floor and a large stream flowing from the ceiling above. The water dripped down all day long in both places causing the clerks and owners a great deal of inconvenience.
 No estimate of the damage could be given today by the manager of the bootshop on the amount involved in the damaged shoes, and late this af- ternoon, additional tiers of shoes which had not been noticed earlier, were found to be covered with water.

HURLEY SEES NO
 DECREASE IN CRIME
State Police Head Gives Noon
 Talk at Club

Fire dangers are increasing and crime is not decreasing. according to Superintendent Robert Hurley Of the state police, who addressed the week ly meeting of the Kiwanis club at the New Britain club today. Chief Hurley told many interesting incident in con nection with the work Of the state police department showing the difli- culties under which that department is working.
 In the last two years the state po- lice have investigated 9,S63 com plaints In discussing this phase of the work Chief Hurley stated that peo- pie in the country will call up head quarters ask for a policeman, hang up the receiver and rush to t.,, ttuht door 10 see if he has arrived.
 Some Of these complaints may take anywhere from one hour to three years to adjust" he said. In the same two years they have made 4,6S4 ar- rests 3,SlS moving picture theater in- Spections. 6j.925 examinations for motor vehicle operators, l7,Ss7 weights and measures inspections. 6aG stolen autos recovered. S226,000 worth of stolen property recovered. s200,00e worth or liquor confscated and have travcled over i.2il.0OO miles through ont the the state.
 He said people are following the line ot least resistance, they are afraid to talk to detectives and are afraid 10 testify in court and for this reason the work Of the departments is hanfi- capped, The country is called upon every years to spend millions Of dol. lars to help fight crime but We are io points behind in d losing gamc," h. said.
