n DOCTOR examines you and usually
is helpful in easing your physical
ailments.
Another scientist, trained in other lines
of research, may be called in to diagnose
your matrimonial troubles and often
times prescribe cure which will save
you and your wife from the divorce court.
This interesting and very important new
service of science was recently outlined
by DIR. Charles A. L. Reed. former presi-
dent of the American Medical Association.
AS DR.. Reed truly points out. the in.
Auences of the religions, Of conventional
morality and the laws of the land have
only resulted in clogging the calendars of
our divorce courts. The voices of com
mand and exhortstion rise louder than
ever before. Why do we ignore them?
The answer is simple. We ignore them
because we can't help it, These voices
urge US to high ideals, but they do not tell
us how to reach them. When we fail in
marriage il is because we do not know
how TO make marriage work out right
Marriage was invented in and for a sim
pier ana lesS imaginative age WHAT We
need is not exhortation. but expert scien-
tific advice.
The value Of doctor is not in his ex-
horting us to be healthy, but in telling Us
how, and IN curing US when we fail. But
can unhappy marriages be diagnosed and
cured or prevented. like typhoid - rick
cts?
AS DR.. Reed says, it certainly can, but
it must be done scientifically, by an ex-
pert.
To attack the marriage problem scien-
tifcally means TO look at il as it really is,
not as we think il ought to be and have
deluded ourselves into imagining il is
Clearing away all the sentimental under
brush and digging out all the old tin csns
and refuse of false ideas dumped on the
subject by generations Of romsncers, what
is the underlying motive for which We
marry and which marriage must satisfy
or be a failure?
The motive is the pursuit of happiness.
The man asks the woman TO marry him
because he thinks marriage to this par
tieuIar woman will bring him happiness.
Incidentally, he thinks he is going TO have
a lot of fun making her very happy. She,
TOO. thinks she is going to make him
happy, but the reason she says Eyes" is

wife may, in a bust of indigna-
ton, make list of his short
comings, the candy, the flowers,
the theatres, etc. He may add
these items IN his other chores
and make good on them W tn ma
chine-like regularity, and then
wonder why they are accepted
with such miserable grace.
She becomes cross and I'M
reasonable and seems deliberate
ly to do all the petty things that
irritate him. Little habits and
mannerisms that each once
thought cute become annoying.
They continually criticise, misun-
derstanding and run into fruit
less arguments, and yet each,
searching his heart, knows he is
no different. The other has
changed.
Some day, in the heat of argu-
ment, the thought that has long
been in both minds is blurted
out:
1.-TWO people who get along as
badly as we do ought not to live
together" :.
But they do, for a while, for
now come the church, the law
and the relatives to exhort, adj
monish and roll Mortified eyes.
They must not be rash. They

must forgive and forget. They don't
know how to forgive and forget. They
must be more lovin. and thoughtful, bear
and forbear. Easy to say, but hard to do
with a peryerse person who deliberately
misunderstanding and takes pleasure in
crossing you.
Here is where the trained psychologist.
the matrimonial specialist, should step in.
an NJ. H., not doctor of medicine. but
of n1atrimony. This marriage doctor can
make order out of the mess and cure the
whole disorder unless il has gone SO far
that one or both have fallen in love else
whore. He has only one medicine, the
truth, and because it is hard medicine
to take he must give it in small doses.
Suppose he begins with the man and
has him pour out the whole story of his
woes. At the end the NJ. ID. asks the hus-
band to mention one of the things his
wife does with deliberate intent to make
him angry.

ENGLAND HOPES
 FOR CONFERENCE
Therefore POStpones Action on
 Warship Construction

London, Feb. 14,---Hope by the British government that a new dis armament conference will be called before long, and preferably by the united States, is believed to be causing the cabinet to delay It's de- clsion regarding fresh warshlp con- struction.
 The position outlined in previous dispatches, with the treasury resist Ing an increase of nearly O,0o0, 900 pounds in the naval estimates said to have been demanded by the ad- mlralty, has not yet been cleared, although it has been discussed at length by the cabinet.
 Political gossips from time to time have given currency to stories that a compromise had been reached re- garding the estimates, but these stories have not been borne out and it now Is stated that a cabinet com mittee Is to examine the whole question of imperial defense before final decision Is taken.
 Winston Churchill. the chancellor of the eXchequer, who is credited with opposing the admiralty's de- mand for an increased building program, is said to be banking on the prospect of another disarmament conference to strengthen his view point. which. 1t is stated, has the support of several of his colleagues.
 The question of American parti- clpation In the conference is regard ed as of paramount importance, such participation being generally consid- cred Indispensable. The political writers today strongly emphasize this point, and refer to recent state mcnts in the American senate as hopeful augurics.
 GA rider of the naval appropriation bill passed by the Senate and signed by President Coolidge early this week contains request for the con- vening of another arms limitation 
 The Daily Mail expresses belief today that when Ambassador kel- Iogg returns to the United States to assume the post Of secretary of state he will be able to discuss the posi- ton with President Coolidge with knowledge of the Bri- tish view.
 Meanwhile it seems certain that he British naval estimates, which must be framed before March S1. will provide for some shipbuiiding md in consequence will show an in crease.

DETROIT SAID TO.
 BE VERY VERY WET
15,0OO Blind Tigers Are Report
 cd in Auto City

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 14.-There are at least 15,00o blind pigs and bootlegging joints within the city Of Detroit, according to an estimate made last night by Superintendent of Police William P. Rutledge. "There were 1,500 saloons in the city when prohibition went into ef- feet, and today there are easily ten times that many places in Detroit selling liquor" the superintendent said.
 "If a policeman goes into an apartment building containing thir- ty-six apartments he may find h'e or six bootlegging places, but 1t would be impossible for him to stand on the sidewalk and estimate how many there were inside. It IS Just as hard to estimate the number of places in the city, but there are easily 15,OO0." he said.
 The rank and file of the police department. as constituted Jan. l. consists of 1,942 patrolmen and Sl detectives, exclusive of the womens division, If this entire force, work ing twenty-four hours a day, were assigned solely to the enforcement ot the prohibition law there would be- on the basis of Superintendent Rut- ledge's estimate, 741 blind pigs for every policeman.
 Superintendent Rutledge explained that the recent order putting an end to "tipover" raids. in which police entered blind pigs without war rant and used axes on the furnish ings of the place and conhscated the liouor, was issued largely because the method had proved a failure

 Professor Declares

Philadelphia, Feb. 14.-Dr. J. P.

 This Is the trouble with q good deal of our recent fiction our recent verse, our recent thinking and our recent music" he said. q have no objection 10 jazz in the ball room, but it must have well expressed ideas behind it before it can be tak- en seriously. The new world sym phony shows the possibilities of jazz, but how few have taken advantage of them! Most of the jazz music, like jazz literature and jazz think ing, Is the product of the uDtrained mind, that does not work in any direction, that does not know how 10 think and cannot support the ef- fort of trying to think. And it is precisely this training, whatever it's later application may be, that d university course is best fitted to give

The letter was diary of the last few days but, aside from one phrase, "I have been badly victimized and am not able to vindlcate myself at this timc," 1t told nothing of the cause which led one in good health and with ample means to end bis life.
 So that q sister, Miss Elizabeth E. Barclay, of l3S South Ocean avenue, Atlantic City, might not be troubled with the details of managing his properties, Dr. Barclay gave minute directions fin his letter about what was to be lone.

DOLLARS YS. BEETLES
Appearance of Bug in Timbering of Towers of Lincoln Cathedral Being Fought.

Lincoln, Eng, Feb. ii.-The ap. pearance of the death- watch beetle in the timbering of one of the tow CTS of Lincoln Cathedral is causing the dean much trouble, but he is equally disappointed with what he calls the stinglness of English peo- pic in sending funds 10 assist in com- batting the work Of the beetle, and in tho restoration of the cathedral.
 The generosity of Americans, tho dean says, is in great contrast. American money, he points out, has enabled nearly half the work to be done, and by the end of the year he expects 10 have enough American dollars 10 pay for the reparation of the central tower and two transepts.
 Scores of English tourists visit the cathedral but few of them go to him with ten pound note, as the Amer jeans do, and say "here is a trifle for your fund" according to the dean.
