Ancient Trees.

Beside the famous redwood trees OF
California there are many trees that
are extremely long lived. It is even
claimed that some of the Monterey
expresses are older than the oldest
redwoods. and certainly they are many
thousands Of years old. though not so
large. Sacred trees in the temple
gardens Of Japan are historically
known TO be several thousand years
old and have had to be propped up
with supports to keep them from fall
ing. Many chestnuts in Sicily. still
standing. were planted by the Romans,
and one tree. or really two trees grown
together, was 20 feet thick, or thicker
than most houses, and a hundred
horsemen could stand under it's shade.

What do YOU think of the fifty-fifty
basis of marriage? A husband and
wife both work. They want children.
Should she give up her work and have
them on the small salary of the nus
band, who is very young ana mas not

Answer-The remueratlVe employ
ment of both husband and wife is. a
questionable feature of modern clvlll-
cation. No man should marry until
he can support a wife, and no woman
should marry man unless she Is
satisfied to live on the income he can
honestly provide. Too often luxuries.
not necessities, dictate the $3.50
basis of marriage. Even where this
Is not the case, parentage is subordi-
mated to personal security.
Couples become so accustomed to
the standards of living produced by
their combined earning power that
the prospect of children, which cuts
off half this power. terrifies them.
Home making and its parental re-
sponsibilities are essentially sacrf-
flcial. Those who are unwilling to
