What Should a Girl Expect

What should a girl who IS marrying
expect In the way of material fortune'
Some cynics say that poor girls expect
more than rich. Others say that work.
ing girls are more practical and expect
less than girls of leisure. Like most
personal questions. this would seem to
be one for the individual. 1t Is true
that most OF us observe certain char
acteristics. but we should not induce
false principles from them.
It is natural. criticize it though we
may. to find that a girl unaccustomed
to ultimate comforts and some extrava-
gance, will indulge in them heavily at
the outset. 1t Is like feeding a child
candy and then leaving her In undis-
puted possession Of the box Naturally
either child or adult placed in that po-
sition will indulge.
Furthermore, the girl Is often encour-
aged by an adoring husband to overdo
her spending and wasting The pleas
ure which the husband sees or thinks
he sees in the r1ew-found enjoyment Of
things is matched with his own that he
is able to afford them.
Some girls do marry for material pur-
poses, and once married they are often
heartless spenders. They have no con-
Germ about their husbands future, and
they spend and waste generously and
thoughtlessly Usually a man knows.
IL he will think and reflect. when a girl
marries him for what there is In 1t
for her." Such marriage Is impracti-
cal and unwise.
Not infrequently young men mislead
their fiancees as to the state of their
financial condition or their business
position. Sometimes they conceal the
true facts after marriage, and young
bride may be living beyond her hus-
bands means unknowingly. In that
case there Is only one person to blame,
and the wife Is not to be censured.
A girl should be told before marriage
what she may expect. II this Isl done
truthfully and accurately, there can be
no later recriminations, accusations or
f1arebacks Of any sort. Without this
type of understanding. girl may con-
ceivably expect anything
1t is question whether more men
deceive women on this point than do
women deceive themselves. 1t Is diff
cult to believe that bride should not
know her husbands fortune and posi-
ton before the ceremony. Yet such Is
the case In more than q few instances.
No matter what girl expects of her
husband. 1t Is her duty to ascertain his
ability to support her. to determine
whether she can be happy living within
his limits, and base her answer to his

GOVERNOR SMITH FAVORS
ENFORCEMENT OF PROHI LAW

Albany, n. Y, Jan. 5.-In 90
printed pages totaling more than
10000 words, Governor Alfred E.
Smith yesterday laid before the leg
islature-and, incidentally at least
before the country-a summary of
his political platform. By many OF
his friends and opponents it was ac-
cepted as a fairly complete exposi-
ton of the platform upon which he
might be considered candidate for
the Democratic presidential nomina-
ton.
Among points he covered which
might be deemed to have national
scope, Governor Smith urged state
development and control of public
water power sites; restoration of the
direct primary; extension of basic
home rule laws to towns and villages
and control by municipalities of pub
lie utilities within their jurisdiction.
With reference to the broad ques-
ton of prohibition, the governor
urged adoption of an amendent to the
state constitution to provide that no
amendment to the federal constitu-
ion be ratified by future legislatures
until it had been approved by a re-
ferendum. The message also con-
tanned declaration for strict OBJ
servance and enforcement of the
prohibition laws. No legislation af-
fecting prohibition was suggested
Most of the governors 20 recon-
mendations for legislation were re-
petition of policies which have been
advocated by him for several years,
and which have repeatedly been de-
feated by Republican majorities in
the legislature. Besides those men,
toned they included requests for
abolition of the motion picture cen
sorship; four-year term for COVER
nor with gubernatorial elections be-
tween presidential elections, and
biennial sessions of the legislature.

MAY PROTECT MEATS
FROM SKIPPER FLIES

Raleigh, Jan. 11.-Much meat
cured on the farm is subject to the
attacks OF the ham skipper VIII ch is
a small fly resembling winged ant.
Maggots from eggs laid by this fly
may cause considerable damage and
it is wise plan to wrap the meat or
screen the smokehouse so that the
fly cannot enter.
"This skipper S much smaller than
the common house fly, says c. H.
Brannon, extension entomologist at
State college "The maggots pro-
duced from these flies attack mostly
the pork hams and shoulders which
have been cured and smoked. The
fresher meat, the more rapid the in
jury. Old pieces of meat which have
become hard and dry and which are
sometimes covered with coating of
blue mold or salvelika layer of fat,
seem to be immune from attack.
Very fat meat, like bacon, is not eX-
tensively injured. The insect appar-
emily prefers lean meat"
The best control method is to pre-
vent the adult flies from entering
the storage room, states Mr.. Bran
non. This can be done by screening
with a 30-mech wire cloth and by
seeing that flies do not enter the
room when the door is opened.
Where the flies can enter this room
the usual method of preventing in
festation, is to wrap each piece of
meat with paper and then enclose it
in tight sack. If the screen mesh
wire is used, wrapping is not need
ed.
Mr. Brannon states that the
smokehouse should need no further
protection. Where infested meat
cannot be recondltioned by trim
ming, the meat should be destroyed.
Bones should not be allowed near
the meat as the shippers breed wi h
in these old bones.
There is an excellent market for
well cured hams and such meat is
too valuable to permit it ruin by the
attac ks of these flies.

ans husband, Albert Snyder.

on a woman is so distressing that
had hopes that the appeal would dis
close some fact which would justify
my interference with the process of
the law" the governor said in an
nounc ng his decision.
The governor said the case had

CONGRESSMAN DOUCHTON
NOT FIXING FENCES"

Washington special to Winston
Salem Journal: Farmer Bob
Doughton, member of congress from
the eighth North Carolina district,
says that it was news to him when
he read a story from Raleigh to the
Greensboro News that he was busy
during the holidays mending his po-
litical fences.
"The only fences | looked after
were those on my farm, and the
weather was too cold and the wind
too high to do much of that" he ex-
planned in regard to the story that
he was fearful of dire results be-
cause of his views on Governor Al
SIN tn.
Congress was in recess for ten
days, his family was at Laurel
Springs and his business was there,
so that he considered it entirely
proper to leave Washington. He was
back at his post when congress re-
convened.

fences is concerned, the first news

story" Farmer" Bob said today.
