THE MARRIAGE BAROMETER

It was Schopenhauer. perhaps who with customary cynicism point ed out that the relative number of marriages to population in any country depended upon the cost of living. In this manner the master of pessimism took a drab fling at the goddess of love, showing that the price of bread seemed 10 regulate the fruits of love with automatic certainty.
 It may De hard 10 dispute the as sertion in the light of the returns registered in this city during Feb ruary. Despite the fact that the month had one moro day than last year. the total Of marriages in 'he city had dwindled down 10 2@; VI hich provide q rather slim comparison with the Sn reGist during F'ehrp- sry. 1927.
 To sensible people lt ls impossible to separate economic realities from the heckoning Of the love nest. True, instances have been known where couples got married with scarcely more money on hand than the cost uf the ceremony; but tbey are rare. The majority look ahcad q lnt And as for hc girle, they arc getting more particular every day Most of them arc earning their own liHeli- hood and do not intend 'o g't mar rlod for the sake of support alone.

RITCHlE ON PROHIBITION

When Governor Ritchie Of Mary land speaks on prohibition he IS bound to have something interest ing to project. Tn his latest pronun- Ciamonto, however, he covered quite familiar ground until he got to the point of the saloon.
 Despite his belief that the effect of prohibition is dcplorahle and subvorsive of all law, he would not countenance q return to the public saloon. One gets the notion he is opposed to the saloon with as much ychemonce as any prohibltionist.
 Anti-prohibition thinking general ly seems to be against the return Of the saloon; yet there are thousands Of prohipitionists who seem to be of the opiri,D that Q return to pre- Nolsteadian freedom would mean nothing else but a return 10 the saloons. Many of them, to judge from their published opinions, do not re- gard the Canadian system of liquor control s practicable in this coun- try.
 If the vets could convince the drys that they are sincerely opposed to the return of tie saloon-especially Fly if they could convince the dry progress might be attained.

Ssna'e failed 10 ratify the Versailles tr"at>. The scholarly and peacefully inclined Briaud realizes, forSooth, that dealing with sn American gov ernuieut official about a coul.nplai- rd treaty iS on" thing. actually got ting the treaty is another He hln- self is som"N hat in the same boat, except that the French parliament iS more inclined tn ratlfy such things, at least, it has much better Y rspu'atlon in this respect than the [, $. Senate.
 Ii Is also 2 liile difficult to grasp the contention about "aEgressiye" wars and aggressive" wars. NJ. Erland would have 3 treaty between the nlted States and France, and that It should not deny the privilege of going 10 var against an "agsres- scr nation. Mir. kellogg Is even more peacefully inclined than thrs' He would make the treaty sIsns torres agree not 10 go 10 war under any circumstances and would ,n- Clude the other nations mentioned. This naturally stumps N. Briand.
 MT. Kellogg, for instance, must agree with most patriots that the Monroe Doctrine is q domestic ques- ton to the United States. Any ma tlon disputing the doctrine would be regarded by US as an aegra sor ma tlon; while the other nations in all probability would regard its action as an attempt 10 right a wrong Everybody with sense realizes that the only reason the Monroe Doctrine has been. maintained has been be- cause Uncle Sam has looked strong enough to maintain it.
 The question of immigration lilio- wise is domestic question; or it Is so long as We look strong enough to have own say about it.
 Our foreign friends all agree that each nation has a right to regulate It's domestic affairs 10 suit itself: but there sometimes is vast disa greemcnt as to what constitutes d domestic affair. Mr. Kellogg would put every thing in 6, bag, sew it up, and have everybody agree there will never be an argument over the contents. This ttopian attitude could scarcely be put through in either the United States or France, or any other coun- try, without reservations.
 There can be no question that our secretary of state is taking the most ldea!islc attitude. He is not satisfied to take one step at time, but would run the entire distance. The danger lies in the fact that he is insisting upon too much and is likely to get nothing; except the knowledge that 1t can be said of him and the ad ministration that an effort was made to bring about universal treaties against war"

THE AIR ICE-MAN

by DI. VI dtltI T.. lIdp TUCK
 Some of the most interesting of my air experiences have had their origin in what seemed as the time like trivial circumstances. There is, for instance, the occasion upon which l saved the day for Gen. Debris. Governor of the French kongo.
 His Excellency was giving 3, sort of love-feast for the local tribes men. proud kaffirs and Sudanese whom he had just pacified by means | of a com bination of diplomacy and machine-guns. It was a tense mo- ment and the future of the rich col - ony depended largely on the con- plete success of the great banquet which had been arranged. The chief feature of the repast was 10 be ice cream of which the natives are , enormously fond. since if is unknown 10 their local cuisine.
 At four o'clock on a sweltering. tropic afternoon. the white faced chef rushed into the Generals Wa iliIi ci tdI6hiph " itl' 'uN oilouilNI- nent that the ice-making machine had refused to function. Debris turned to me, railng. as he said Walter, we are lost. These chaps have counted on their ice cream for weeks. If they don't get il there will be another outbreak, more fighting more slaughter %. Ia. Ia . .'' ! Not so, mon general" 1 replied Give me half an hour"
 Waiting 10 say no more l ran to my plane which stood by, req and tuclled for my next hop to Sene- gal. II was the work of but 8 few | minutes 10 lash 10 the tips of my wings six goatskins full of water.
