( HapDiIy Married.?

TIME psychiatrist was chiefly in
Il tereSted in finding out what
percentage of American marriages
are happy Now the word "happy" -
sits uneasily in any scientific in
vestigation. 1t can hardly be re-
duced to a formula.
DR.. Hamilton admits that there
would have been small purpose in
asking each of his 200 subjects. are
you happily married?' yes" might
mean much or little and the same
thing goes for no"
And so he tried to sneak up OH
them He had his questions printed
on little cards and dealt hand to
every client. In the matter of hap
piness in marriage he used thirteen
questions and then graded his
guinea pigs all the way from a,
meaning ecstasy, down to F for ut
ter misery.
The good doctor takes child-like
pride in one particular query on the
list which seems to me to represent
good deal less than inspired
shrewdness. No. runs, IF by
some miracle you could press a.
button and find that you had
never been married to your spouse,
would you press that button?"
Certainly there must have been.
hundreds of moments, or more
likely thousands, in the life of any
married person when he would have
pressed that button.

Value of Whole Wheat in Diet Explained

The researches made in the Food
Research institute of Stanford uni
yersity conclude that nothing would
be gained for the nations health or
nations economy by consumption of
wheat as whole wheat bread instead
Of white bread.
According to this report, proteins,
minerals, vitamins and roughage are
adequately available in other food
stuffs, and need not be sought alone
in whole wheat bread.
Only in such countries as India
and China, where the diet is little
diversified, are nutritional or econ
omic advantages to be secured by
consuming whole grains rather than
highly nilled grains of wheat.
Wheat now ranks as one Of the
cheapest foods. Per capita consump-
ton appears to be increasing in the
world at large, but not in the United
States or in Great Britain, Canada
and Australia.

is the work of a certain small
cCterie of scheming and unscrupu-
lous politicians.
BY the passing of the late Sena-
tor Beverage, the people lost wor-
thy champion of their rights, one
who never failed to denounce the
efforts of politicians to repeal the
primary law. Let us hope that some
outstanding and conscientious men
will come to the front and espouse
the cause of the people at this time.
If there is any weakness in the
law itself, it is that section which
permits a convention to make a
choice when no candidate has re-
ceived a majority Of the votes cast
in the primary. Action Of the last
Republican convention in choosing
as the nominee for Governor a
candidate who had received ap-
proximately the smallest vote in the
primary for that Office is simply
another instance Of the trickery Of
a political convention and to what
extremes the politicians viii go.
Why did they not choose the can
didate who had received the largest
plurality vote in the primary? Per-
haps the politicians can answer the
question.
AS the bill to modify the primary
law already has passed the senate,
no effort should be spared to defeat
1t in the house. G. E. P.

The Armory Probe

The arbitrary and high-handed methods used by
the Coffin spokesman in the house of representatives
to prevent probe of the building Of armories Tor
rent the state should result in even more care
full scrutiny of the whole enterprise.
That one member should be able to nearly defeat
the inquiry unanimously demanded by the senate,
or should even attempt such proceeding, suggests
that he had very impelng reason for such actions.
The building of armories under thinly- disguised
evasion of the law against mourning state debts had
phases that require more light than given by
the cursory examination by the senate committee.
Just why any one connected with the enterprise
should object to most thorough inquiry Is unex-
planabe if the enterprise conducted with regard
for the rights of the taxpayers who called upon
to pay the bills.
1t is always suspicious when any Coffin lieutenant
attempts to prevent an investigation Of airy public
matter
1t was Coffin who was largely responsible for the
actions of the legislature two years ago in stopping
any probe of state affairs. Later Marion county
grand jury took up matters which did not interest the
lawmakers and returned numerous indictments.
1t is almost automatic that whenever the Coffin
machine attempts to up, it has very good rea
son for such a course.
Attempts on the part of the bank which financed
and built the armories and according to the senate
report, made very stable profit from its patriotic
efforts to declare that the inquiry is prompted by
"pacsts" will receive less attention because of the
character of the defenders of the enterprise.
If there was any reason at all to investigate, and
the senate unanimously believed that there Was the
necessity of complete probe now becomes imperative
If there was nothing TO hide Collins men would
not be on the job to shut off the light.

A GREAT NAVAL BATTLE
March 9

marcn
CIxTY-SEVEN years ago today
y the most important naval bat
tie in the worlds history came to
an end with both ships limping OF
the scene, neither victorious. 1t was
the battle of the Monitor and Mer-
rinnac, the worlds first ironclad war
ships.
The battle. undecisive as its re-
suit was, revolutionized the navles
of the world, and doomed wooden
fighting vessels to Dayy Jones
locker forever.
In this lies its greatest inpor-
lance, but it also had the immedi-
ate effect of bolstering up the NOR
ale of Union supporters.
The Merrimac, built by the south
in an effort to break the northern
blockade of Hampton Roads, was
proving a terror of the seas. No
wooden ship could give it real
contest.
Soon after, the Union retaliated
with the Monitor, designed by John
Ericsson, inventor of the screw pro-
peller.
When on March 9, 1862, the Moni-
tor proved itself capable of fighting
even a stand-off battle with the
impregnable Merrimac it relieved
the north of much apprehension.
After the battle. the conservative
London Times said:
"The English had 149 first-class
warships. We now have two, the
Warrior and her sister, Ironside.
There is not ship in the navy,
apart from these two that it would
not be madness to trust to an en-
gagement with that little Monitor.

Control of Closed Gate

FINDER existing circumstances
~ the border is more likely to
prove death trap than a base of
supplies. Control of it means little
but closed gate to the rebels, I'M
less President Hoover can be in
duced to change his mind.
That might be possible If there
were anything behind the revolt,
except lust for power, and more
particularly lust for military power.
The United States hates one
kind of revolt more than another.
It is that which represents military
power, and which has military dom
nation as its palpable objective.
When the people of Mexico rose
under Madero to throw off tyranny
this government syrnpatliized with
them, much as it may have doubt
ed their chances of permanent sue
cess.
But when part of the Mexican
army mutinies, as is the present
case, neither the government nor
the people Of the United States can
have any other feeling, save one of
regret and disgust.
Of all the revolutionary move
ments that have cursed Mexico
during the last eighteen years this
seems one of the most useless, in
excusable and unpromising.

Editor Times-At each recurring
session of the Indiana legislature,
the party organs and politicians
begin to agitate for repeal or modl-
fication OF the state primary law.
They seem determined to destroy
this law and deprive the people OF
their right to choose the nominees
for. the various offices and to revert
IN the old crooked convention
methods of selecting these nofna-
nees. where the candidate with the
most ready cash usually was the
choice.
The local party organ stresses the
mint that the present legislature Is
in duty bound to carry out the plank
embodied in the platform OF the
Republican party, to modify or re-
neal the primary law, regardless OF
fhe wishes of the people, and be-
means the TACT that the Democrats
did not adopt like plank.
The present system apparently
does not meet VIII dPPAoFoA Va tA1~
politicians. They denounce the pri-
mary as being the means whereby
certain bIocs are enabled to deter
mine the choice for office, but fail
to cite. the fact that. If these same
blocs have sufficient voting strength.
they also would be able to control
a convention.
The effort to modify the primary
law. to permit conventions to name
the preferential candidate for Presi-
dent. and to make nominations for
United States senator's, Is simply an
entering wedge to complete destruc-
ton of the law. The plank in the
