There is no law which compels a husband to pay a salary to his wife for house work or to make payments to her at regular intervals for any purpose.
 Tn law, there is little basis for a comparison between the house. wife and the house maid. The latter. Is, of course. employed for wages, but such employment may be ter minated at any time. The marriage relation, with its corresponding obligations, cannot be so easily dissolved"
 The opinion pointed out. however, that the law ''does impose upon the husband the obligation to support his wife in a manner suitable to their station In life-and this always in- cludes a consideration of his in- crease"

MIGHTY HUNTERS FIGURE
 IN DARK NIGHT COMEDY
Tree "Raccoon" After Long Pursuit Only to Discover Mistake
 Too Late.

Freeing raccoon without a hound dog is a feat that is seldom equalled but that Is what the intrepid band of huntsmen from The Spring & Buckley Go. did last night at Hart land Hollow. From gully to gully during the black hours of the early morn, the shouts and shots of the wire-shavers resounded through the quiet countryside as the crack marksmen searched their cunning quarry in the rocky fastnesses.
 Earle Smith essayed the role of "coon dog" and after a long and arduous chase, he finally treed his quarry. To carry out the part, he got down on all fours and baycd and bayed and bayed. G. K. Spring, the field marshal, and his son, Graham, his able assistant. heard the off-key sustained notes and gathered their cohorts for an assault on the retreat of the furry denizens of the wild.
 Bruce Gilbert, senior gunner of the plant. placed the sights of the 75 nm gun on the victim and Nom Begley set off the charge that sent the shot that was heard round the world, hurting into the tree top.
 Charley Hayden, second lieutenant of the first platoon, heard the blast go off and after scrambling through brush and stunted trees, arrived at the scene of the killing to learn that the raccoon was one of the striped-back species known as pole cat" MT. Spring, because of his ex- pert knowledge of taxidermy and his long reach. was voted the task of carrying the deceased back to New Britain.
 Soft" cider, hot dogs and old fashioned crullers with holes in the middle topped off the nights work and a weird and wailing discordant strain was discovered to be Nom Begley's harmonica. Plans are un- der way for another hunting trip and this time 1t will be a search for a coon.

Some of the workmen complained. witnesses testified, against working on the sea- wall on the states time.
