WAKING A

I'm afraid there isn't any rule

The only thing to do isti adopt
the polite thing to the convenient

the evening before, and, IL there

HOW MUCH EDUCATION

WHAT TRAINING?
HOW MUCH MONEY IN TEE

rs HE IN GOOD STANDING
WITH HIS UNION OR PRO-
EESSION?
No, these are not mercenary
questions. They are fundamental
facts which you should ascer-
tain before you enter into any
partnership. No business firm
would place a man in q respon-
sible position without knowing
these facts. And yet you're go-
ing to give this man charge OF
your whole life without knowing
one of them! And you secretly
think 1t cheapens love to put it
to such testing!
There are quite a number OF
girls, however, who do not be-
lieve that such precautionary in
vestigation cheapens love. Last
year 2,400 California girls
Checked up on their prospective
husbands through the State re-
ords. The "check-up" could not
be quite as complete as that
which ] have outlined, as Cali
fornia has no eugenic laws. But
they could, and did find out
whether their Sweet Daddys were
ex-convicts or ex.hubbys. And
during the same period, 1000
other girls investigated the birth
records to determine whether
their fiances were masquerading
under false names.
All of which proves, according
to l.. e. Ross, chief OF the State
Bureau of Vital Statistics, that

MEDITATIONS
OF "A WIFE
RY HeIen R0WIand.
BE That As It May


ATO woman can do anything
IN much with her husband, as
long as some other woman feels
sorry for him.
1t is always a surprise to a
Divorce, to discover how long it
takes her to get over the habit
Of listening for the sound OF a
mans key in the latch, evenings.
When a woman gives a man
up, 1t always leaves a void In her
life: but when a, man gives a
woman up. it is usually because
another woman is crowding her
out.
A wife has the secret conso1ar
ton of knowing that, though
spring may tempt her husband to
wander a little in the Primrose
Path, the Fall usually finds him
hunting for the same old peg on
which to hang his hat.
1t is sad TO reflect that an old
flame who is one of your sweet
est memories" may regard you
merely as one OF his lucky es-
capes."
Some woman has suggested that
every woman should have at least
three husbands; but, the average
girl wanders how she will man
age to. get ONE husband-and
what she will do with him, after
she gets him.
First, a woman gets on q mans
mind-then on his neck, then on
his conscience, and finally on his
nerves.
A woman fondly kisses each OF
her thdays good-by, and
BURIES It; but man blythely
passes his along with a "Cheeriop

seventy, SOME woman viii find

Overwhelmingly the parliament anC

forming a Fascist labor union ard a
Fascist employers UNION. Arr over
all, Mussolini is king bee.
In his own cabinet, Mussolini is
not content with being premier. He
also conducts foreign affairs, the
army, the navy and aviation. He is
to conduct all legislation with impe-
rial authority so ironbound that none
care question it.
King Victor Emmanuel is not even

little, well-meaning Woodworking
titular ruler is simply a figurehead.
His features tsill are soon on stamps
and coins, but from every picture

from every newspaper and magazine
the strong face of Benito the Great
scowls at the Italian citizenry.
Photographs beg the privilege of
taking snaps of Mussolini. They sell
like hotcakes. Few photographers
pay any attention any longer to the
king.
Its not true that all the nation
submits to Mussolini's dictatorship
willingly. Outbreaks like those at
Florence evidence dissension within
the Fascist organization. And the
workers at Milan and Turin are just
as much Bolshevists at heart as ever
