NEGOTIATIONS
OF "A WIFE

Seasonable Tips

Seasonable Tips
MOST love affairs would turn
1v1 out more satisfactorily IL q
woman could only see the logical
end approaching, and make q
dash to reach it, first.
A Don Juan Is like a daring
flier; he always tempts Fate once
too often, and comes down with q
crash, at last-usualIy at the feet
of the wrong woman.
Many a man has wanted to
marry a girl because she was so
full Of pep, go, and sparkling
chatter-and then, longed to di.
vorce her for the same reason.
A 'contentedly married" couple
is one that has given love q de.
cent burial, and hung a beautiful
portrait Of domestic affection on
the wall, for the benefit Of the
neighbors.
Marriage Is the point at which
q woman should turn off the mo-
tor Of her repartee, put the
brakes on her wit, ana coast
along easily on the soothing tires
Of silence.
BY the time an actor has ac-
quired poise and method in his
work, he has usually lost most
of his fire and enthusiasm; and
by the time q man has become
technical and letter perfect in his
love-making, his best line Is apt
to fall as flat on the ears of q
discerning woman as a footlight
speech.
A man is not hopelessly middle
aged until he stops trying to find
a brand-new sentimental sensa.
ton, and begins trying to. revive
his ability to feel few of the
old ones.
When lovers can't come to
terms, it is a fair sign that love
has come to a termination.
Satan and Eros are business
partners who go about looking
for people who have nothing to
DO but amuse themselves.

 A narrow coastal plain. varying m width from one hundred and thir-
 ililies 10 few yards, extends rom the United States border at al the mouth Of the Colorado River as lar as the Guatemala boundary rms distance of almost 4.000 miles Is half again as long as the Pacific coast of the United States.

 Roughly halfway between the Arizona line and Central America inc mountains touch the sea at Cane torrientes in the State of JaIisco Here the coastal plain narrows 10 ifs minimum width, gradually widening toward the south hut never again attaining the breadth reached north Of the cape, The northern plain, In- CIuding the entire eastern shore of the Gulf of California and extending south as far as Cape Corricntes. Is the most fertile portion Of the Mex iCan west coast.
 Development Of the wealth of 'Iiis region began less than twenty years ago with the building Of railway from Nogales on the Amer lcan border to Topic, capital of the State of Nayarit, Of which San Bias IS the seaport. The Mexican Govern ment has recently extended this line over tn" mountains 10 Guadalaiara, where it connects with lines 10 Mex leo City and the east coast. This line gives q direct rail communion ton along the Pacific coast from Mexico City to Los Angeles and San Francisco, considerably shorter route than vas before available,
 Along such slender artery of commerce products of the Pacific coastal plain are shipped 10 Cali fornia, bananas from the extreme south. and large quantities Of toma- toes and winter vegetables for con- sumption in American cities. Due 10 the earlier maturing season there is no competition with American pro- ducts. The Mexican commodities reach their markets well in advance Of goods from the southern United States.

 So little is known of Nunivak Island, says Mir. Collins, that its shores are not even charted Mir. Collins is inclined to believe that it has not been inhabited for more than a few hundred years. He found no burials or other evidences of ancient man, though some kit chen middens on the mainland seemed fairly old.
 The Smithsonian expedition ob- tained the first skeletal material and the first anthropological measure ments to come out of Nunivak. Physical measurements were also made, and bones and other materi- al collected all along the barren coast of Alaska from Bristol Bay 70 the mouth of the Yukon, There Is considerable Eskimo population scattered all along this coast, but the only white people in the entire region. after leaving Bristol Bay are the teachers at the six small schools maintained by the U. $.
