Decide that you ARE. Don't go

Believe in your own reality. Then
assert to yourself that that reality
has purpose. And that that pur.

I AM REAL.

Repeat these facts continually to

as a concealed coat of mail against

Do not, however, overdo the

He also urged modification of the
Volstead Act. He succeeds George
S. Silzer, also a Democrat.
Dignitaries from all over the
state attended the inaugural cere-

here. Thousands of people came
by special trains TO witness the

whatsoever OF the present strike

Ninety nine per cent of the cases
concerned appeals by mothers for
enforced contributions by their ex-
husbands to the support of their
children. The law provides no ali
mony for ex-wives unless they are
unable to work, but obligates the
father to contribute a third Of his
income for the care of his children.
Experience now is showing that
it requires court decision and a

divorced husband to help support
his children after he has left his
wife.

Democratic party will succeed when

REcLAlMING MARSHES X
ROBS BIRDS OF HOMES

Reclamation of marsh lands,
which are likely to prove of no
use for agriculture or proper home
development. but which is certain
to cost the lives of millions Of wild
birds, was condemned last night
by William L. Finley, field photo
grapher for Nature Magazine, in
an address before members of the
American Nature Association at
Central High School.
d Mr.. Finley said that, too often.
men talk Of retaining marsh lands
without being certain that the
reclamation will be of real value.
and then find that they have only
robbed millions of birds of their
homes, accomplishing nothing of
good.
