MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

Nov approaches the one Bright
IN Hour in many Woodworking
married mans life! The Annual
Spring Convention is for a grown
man what ''hooky' is for a small
boy-his one chance in all the
year, to escape from the deadly
monotony Of the daily routine!
1t is his golden opportunity to
forget that the insurance is due
next month, and to do lot OF
shouting, voting, singing and
drinking-to forget his troubles.
his overcoat, HIS umbrella, his
doctors orders and his dignity.
Unless, of course, his wife insists
on SPOILING 1t all!
When a man attends the An.
nual Convention without "the
wife," he carries only his badge,
a cheerful smile, an alert eye. an
open mind. light heart, q light
overcoat and a small grip.
" \
When he stakes the wife along"
he carries a lot of responsibility,
a brace Of suit cases. his tonic,
his evening clothes. the fear of
not getting a "double-room- and
bath" in his soul. and the envy
of all unencumbered males in his
heart.
Somehow, her presence takes
all the kick" out Of the thing!
~
She makes him wear his rub
bers and watch his step, meet her
in the Auditorium. take her shop
ping, and introduce her to all his
chance acquaintances and con-
vivial friends. She wants to know
who the big blonde is that he was
talking to and why he can't get
back by 10 o'clock. She puts a
stop-watch on him, makes him get
into a hard-boiled shirt and stay
sober all evening and reminds him
that he is making a fool of him.
self" every time he tries to be
funny" or to do stunts" at the
banquet.
Worse still. when she discovers
what the dues and fines" are
for the Order, 1t is ALL OFF!
At last, she knows where his
money has been going all this
time''-and rushes out and buys
herself a summer ensemble that
knocks the bottom out of his
next pay envelope.
A wife at Convention is about
as comforting as an army blanket
after a hard rainstorm. She is
AL wet9
You can spot the men at any
convention, who have brought the
wife along. They are always
LOOKING for somebody. or stand.
ing by a certain post, watch in
hand; or hurrying to "get back
to the hotel'! They have that
haunted look! While the carefree
UNchaperoned ones, who have
managed to leave the 'Iittle
woman" at home, are standing in
groups exchanging stories, saunt,
ering blithely arm.in-arm into the
grill. or going off alone in taxi,
and returning at a. m. gloriously
happy, and singing like a bevy Of
larks.
~ y
You look at a mans convention
badge to see what his name il
and Where he comes from, but
you only have to look at his face,
to tell whether he is trotting
along in double harness. or a
single.footer and having a GOOD
TIME! Why can't a wife let her
husband "be himself and play
hooky for one short week In the
year?

 Bulb

1 New York. Dec. 21 LP,-A camera has caught the passage of q pistol bullet through an electric light bulb.
 The camera responsible for this split second photography is the in vention of Baron T. Shiba, head of the Aeronautics Research Institute | of Tokyo. It was demonstrated dur ing the baron's visit to America. and he gave some of his films to New York university.
 Operating at speed of 2O,00O ex- posures a second. this mechanical eye recorded the approach of the bullet to the bulb, the breaking of the fragile globe and the reappear- ance of the projeCtile before the glass had completely disintcgrated.
 To the eye of man the whole process was instantaneous, but the camera was able to follow 1t in de- tall. When projected on a screen the bullet seems 10 be idliug on it's way, gently touching the bulb and slowly floating through it. while the glass lelsurely breaks into frag- ments.

MERE HOPE LEFT
 FOR RESURRECTION
Four Days Pass and "KinS Ben''
 Hasn't Arisen

Benton Harbor. Mich, Dec. 21.-- R)-Their belief that King" Ben iamin Purnell who died at his colony here last Friday morning. would arise from the dead, reduced to a mere hope, the leaderless House of David colonists today set about re- organizing their affairs.
 Frank Wyland, Benjamin's per- sonal bodyguard declared that for the time being the temporal affairs of the House of David will be aided by Attorney II. T. Dewhirst. who deserted legal practice in Califor- mia a few years ago to join Benja- min's following and rapidly arose to a place Of importance second only to the ruler himself.
 Whether the colony council voted additional powers to Dewhirst or whether he has taken charge on his own initiative is not known, and he remains in scClusion, refusing to be interviewed.
 Dewhirst Is reported 10 have turn eu over COlSldGfdDIG wealth when ne joined the colony and as result his voice was needed. DeWhirst was one of the most dcvout believers in the immortality of Benjamin and it was he who insisted that Purnell would emerge from death on the fourth day. The fourth day came and went yesterday and Benjamin's body re- mained inert. This morning 1t rested on slab in the undertaking rooms Of Fred II. Maritime, after having been removed from the colony yes terday afternoon.
 Since the cult has ordered the body carefully embalmed, specula- tion over it's final disposition pro- vided the chief subject of interest in connection with the colony today. It Is reported the House of David will erect a costly mausoleum in which the body of their chieftain will rest, but verifiCation of the report is lacking.

Has He Died the
 Death His Poetry Grimly Pictured?

Washington, Dec. 21 R-Knowl- may now be his within the steel confines of the wrecked submarine S-4, was held by Walter Bishop of Washington, radioman aboard her. but, unlike his comrades in peril, he was fascinated by life in a damned old sub.'
 Prophetic in it's recital of the dan gers braved aboard "pig boat" a poem written some time go by Bish- op has come 10 light as a self-sung requiem over those who went to their death with the S-4 off Prov incetown.
 In the cankerous mind of the
 devil
 There festercd a fiendish scheme; He called his cohorts around him And designed the submarine.
 They planned and plotted to do
 their worst. In perfecting this awful thing;
 And since completing their hide
 ous work Are awaiting what evil 1t will bring. The torpedo room Is a deadly spot, But we have small choice, you So some sleep there, next the over
 head, With tons of T \ T below.
 The C. O. C. Is a little place Just crammed with levers and tools. And let me tell you, on dive, It's not a place for fools.
 It takes ten good men to operate The diving gear that's there;
 And each man knows that a clear
 cool brain Insures his return to the air.
 Yes, daily we make a risky dive, While Uncle Sam, with his brimming
 cup.
 Bets us a dollar, while we're alive. A dollar to nothing we don't come
 up.
 We're bottled up, just like trap, With nothing ill between
 The sea and death but a metal
 cap, Like the lid on a soup tureen. We get a five-dollar bonus, They call it extra pay:
 But it always goes for dungarees That the acid eats away.
 The best blood in the service You'll find on the old pig boat, For it takes more than q common
 mind To sink and still to float.
 With all this 1t may seem strange When you ask a gob off any pig
 boat
 He'd rather be there than any
 where AS long as there's a sub afloat. There's a sort of fascination Attends this job of ours
 That could only be duplicated By a rocket trip to Mars. We cuss and mutter never again" Until We get paid off:
 But the blamed old life will drag
 us back No matter how we scoff. We all come back, come back for
 more, And there, friends. Is the rub; We like the life beneath the sea Life in a damned old sub.
