The World and All
FIGHTING ABOUT MONEY
By Charles 4. Driscoll

When Gene Tunney discovered he was in love with
a rich girl, he went out and beat the d~aylights out Of
a dozen strong men and got himself a couple of million
dollars. I'm rather Of the opinion that he did a wis
thing. from a matrimonial point Of view.
or course. love should conquer all difficulties. But
never forget that there are plenty OF obstacles for love
to overcome in amost any match, without special crea-
tions. such a. millions q dollars IA the w.fe's name
and nothing at al in the husbands.
Again, it should make no difference which party 70
the contract brings III the millions, II millions there
must he. But in practical life il quite often does MAKE
a difference.
The whole subject is noyelizcd by Margaret Culkin
Banning in a novel, Money Of Her own recently
published by Harrcr's. IN this book the heroine in-
herits a very large fortune with a condition to the
husband is never to spend or use any Of il. This leaves
a very rich woman with a poor husband, and unable "
share her riches with him to any considerable extent.
Of course, such a situation would make for trouble.
even in real life. In the novel il leads To bitterness.
denominations. arrangement and vast unhappiness.
IN the story the barrier of wealth in the wifc's
hands proves insuperable a. long AZ IL lasts. When
she becomes poor and he rich, they embrace for the
happy ending.
Now, I've known cases in which money OF her own"
did not seem TO make for great unpleasantness between
husband and wife. J know of several eases ip which
the wife earns almost as much, or quite as much,
money as the husband, and no disaster results.
Medical students and interncs somehow have \ ten
dcncy to marry rich girls, and many q Doctors rapid
rise in his profession is due largely to the circum-
stance Of a wife with enough money u get him into "
well-furnished office as soon as he was ready to begin
practice. And I have seldom seen marital unharpiness
resulting from this combination.
Well, it all depends upon 20 many other things be-
sides money Of her own"

Guiding Your Child
THE FACT OF DEATH
Br. Mrs, Agnes Lyn,e

Sooner or later the child must face the fact of death.
 Usually before his sixth birthday death touches his life at some point. An aged relative who often used to bring him bags of barley sugar candy never comes to sec him any more. He wonders why. Or per- haps his own dear puppy is run down by an automobile, and lies stiff and strange by the road until put into a hole in the ground and covered with earth-a saddening and thought provoking episode. And one day surely the child will ask: will I be dead, too. sometime?"
 We cannot afford to evade dis cussion of any of these issues. They are part of the life our children must learn to live. It is our task as parents to interpret these difficult things truthfully. and yet in such a way that the shock of the harsh facts will not be too difficult for the child to assimilate.
 If the child asks why. grandad never comes to see him any more he should learn the truth. If he is told some fiction it will only delay for a little time his knowledge of the fact. When the truth does dawn on him he will know not only that his par ents have lied. which Is always bad, but also that death is 70 horrible that 1t can hardly be mentioned. His imagination will be haunted far more by the mystery and terror of death than if he had originally been told the simple fact. On the other hand he should be spared all sights and sounds of grief. for these have no place in his life.
 When he asks what happens after you die he should be told whatever we ourselves believe.
 If he asks whether he. too, will die some day. he should be told yes, surely. that every living thing must die. sometime. At the same time he should be treasured that he won't die for long. long time. 50 he needn't worry about it. Having been told the truth his attention should be diverted toward his own busy, sunshiny world.
 A child who is happy in his afYcc- tions and active in his play will readily take the attitude we suggest. By implanting serene acceptance of an unalterable circumstance we have protected the child from morbid fears and terrified wonderings.

Has More Than Score
 Of Wives, None Naggers

Mukden,. Nov. l. N-NaEgins wives have no place in the don estic circle of General Chank Tsung Chang. whose life partners number some 2S or more.
 The general, outlawed by tho Ranking government as a rebel, made his final gamble for power near the eastern end Of the Great Wall. where he held out for weeks against the overwhelming nation- alists led by General Pal ShunR- hsi. He was accompanied near tho front by wife No. and some of his other wives who traveled by special train.
 Foreigners and Chinese disagree as to the number of wives claimed by General Chang who as young man was q gang coolie in Harbin, where he learned to speak Russian. The Chinese say the general has about 37 wives - Americans and other foreigners understand the "retinue" totals but 2S or 30. The general himself doesn't say, and no one dares to ask him.
 General Chang. aged ~, a south- erner by birth. at the time of the successes of the northerners tn Shantung, became the military dic- tator of the province over which he ruled supreme for months. From the time young Chang left horne he has always been a soldier of fnrt,
 dent of human nature and, 50 far, he says. he has never picked a wife who tried to boss or nag him.

Lengthening Skirt
 Proves Slow Process

Paris, Nov. l. R-The gradual. ness with which skirts arc being heightened, as well as some women's flat refusal to lengthen them at ali, indicates the old days of overnight style revolutions are over.
 The stylemakers are contentinR themselves with easing skirts down inch by inch. on daytime clothes. So far. their tactics of dropping evening skirts to any level that happens to suit their idea. has not resulted in the lengthening of street skirts.
 Skirts are few inches longer, to be sure, than they were six months ago. They now cover the knees en- tirely at all but one or two of Paris fashionable dress houseA But the fashion creators are repeatedly asked to shorten the street models as they are duplicated and time after time hear their clients say:
 The long skirts are all right for the mannequins. but they don't look smart on the street."
 Despite the slowness of French women's conformity to their dress makers wishes they wear longer skirts. on the whole. than Ameri. can or English women.

Health Hints
HY DIR. MORRIS FISHBA;IN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and Of Hy-
 yCia the Health Magazine :.

Last year there were seven cities In the United States without a single death from diphtheria.
 Here is one disease for which medical science knows definitely the cause, the means of transmits sion, the method Of prevention, and for which medicine has a specific method of cure.
 Whether or not diphtheria oc- CUTS in family and whether or not a case is fatal depends largely on the willingness of human be- ings to avail themselves of the advance of medical science in the control of this disease.
 Ohio City Chosen
 Tn 1924 the city of Youngstown and Mahoning county in Ohio were selected for q demonstration Of the effectiveness of immuniza- ton against diphthcria, because they had the highest case of death rates from the disease of any Ohio communities.
 The number of eases dropped from 107o in 1923, to 323 in 1924, 10 1oS in 1925, 64 in 1926. and 1lS in 1927. The death rate dropped from Si deaths in 1923 to 21 d"2ths in 1924. i7 deaths in 1925. d"aths in 1926. and 23 deaths in 1927
 It has been pointed out that diseases tend 10 take on increased severity at certain intervals, and that we are now passing through q period in which diphthcria is more virulent than it has been in the Iast.
 The toXin-antitoxin method of immunization against diphtheria is not dangerous. With q property standardized preparation. a com- petent physician can give such in jections with complete safety.

 l looked at Lillian in consterna- tion as she put the query concern ing the aid she wished from my father in estimating the character of Samuel Brixton.
 Don't look as if were going to garrote you." she laughed. If you have forgotten to ask him. it's no hanging matter. There's still time."
 Tt isn't that" l said. but he is not here. He had to go away on a short business trip and he cannot possibly get back until after the BriXtons leave. l meant to write you about it. but = l just didn't, that's all. I'm sorry"
 Don't be-" Lillian advised. Tt would have spoiled a perfect trip if you had. I probably would have magnified the disappointment. Now I'm a philosopher. The trip has been so wonderful and Marion has been such a darling that l feel strong enough to cope with any thing-even Sam BriXton's cussed- ness which 1 feel perfectly sure is concealed about him somewhere.
