vately by the couple involved.
 First. the husband and wife agree to have no children before they feel able to care for them. Secondly, the wife agrees to remain economi- cally independent. If she is employ ed before marriage to remain so, and if ever they are divorced. to have no claims to aiimony. And thirdly. the husband and the wife agree that if they should find-be- fore a child comes-that it is utterly impossible for them to remain united the union is to be severed. In other words what is known as col lusion' in our courts today is to be permitted. One other consideration is 10 be made clear. If there is a child then marriage becomes what Judge Lindsey calls a family mar riage,' and then the wife immedi- stely has legal claim to economic support--even If the marriage should ever be broken.
 Tn order to make possible the carrying through of this program Judge Lindsey recommends three definite changes in our laws. First he would legalize information as re- sards birth control through proper | channels. Secondly he would 50 1 change our laws of property as to assure the economic independence of woman and finally he would so change our divorce laws as to make ] ,Io 4f patibie differences of temper and nature in men and women in the 1 courts of law.
 My own reaction to all that ! Judge Lindsey has written in his | 'Companionate Marriage is that ii isn't as awful as the pulpit and the l press have made it out 10 be- "l believe in marriage, l know 1 that all humans--surely mHA Of IL want children.

 Must Be Physically Fit
 Tt mus be clear to all that a suc- cessful marriage presupposes a man and d woman fit physically. mental ly and spiritually for marriage. And any reform or adjustment to be made in the institution of marriage must properly begin with ourselves. The individual men and women m,Bt seek to train themselves for mar riage. Like charity. reform must be- gin at home.
 But there is another factor in marriage and as important-almost as the first. and that Is the en- Nironment in which We live, the so- ciai orGa niZatiOn about us. Here the situation is not directly and rarely even indirectly under our control And it is here that Judgc Lindsc, offers his solutions for the social and ,nvironment difficulties that bese, the lives of vast numbers of people about us.

GREAT SHOW AT LYCEUM

Conrad Neidt in "A Mans Past" and Junior Coghlan in Let 'er Go Gallagher are the head-liners at the Lyceum theater for today and Tuesday. It is one of the finest photoplay shows that has been seen here in q long time. Conrad Neidt, master of character roles, and past master of emotional acting rises to the supreme heights of both in this. Let 'er Go Gallagher" starring Junior Coghlan is another supreme . triumph let alone saying it is the finest newspaper picture ever. Other short subjects on the same bill are "Co'lcSians' serial.

independence of woman-all of these have revolutionized much of think. ing. and have affected every human institution Especially significant have been the changes in our atti- tudes toward the whole matter of sex and marriage.
 Ut requires only | most casual view of the situation to realize the great unrest and general dissatisfac- tion with the status of marriage and morals today. Not only do our novels and plays reflect this but everywhere the lives of men and women about indicate this lack of stability and dis satisfaction. Judge Lindsey. who for almost thirty years presided over the lations court of Denver, Colorado, saw passing before him hundreds and thousands of boys and girls and men and women whose lives were injured or totally ruined because of social mala dJustments. It is as re- Eards these maladjustments that Judge Lindsey has written first his very important analysis of the prob lem of the youth of today and more , recently published his now notorious book which he called Com panionate l Marriage

Our 1 Anglo Saxon civilization taboos mat 1 ters of sex; ministers Of religion have l attacked Judge Lindsey's work as "a work of the devil' and an incite- ment 10 lust; here and there the 1 book is not to be had in the public libraries.
