THE MARRY
GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland.
Golf Widows

SC WONDER why men marry at
l. all these days" remarked
Mrs. Divot. ''They all seem 10
dread it So
"Oh, most of them just skid
into it, by accident" replied Mrs
Green, when the brakes on their
imagination or their hearts aren't
working. And lots of them marry
from habit or custom, just las
they shave their Chins, or part
their hair on the side, or take up
golf.
Some men marry in 4 spirit nf
braVado, just as they go in for
hunting big game, to prove that
they are conquerors. Others are
driven into marriage, by the de
sire to beat the other fellow to
it. to Idouble-cross a rival, and
save the girl from throwing her
self away on somebody else.
"Of course, few old-fashiOned
men still marry for the purpose
of securing a housekeeper, nurse
and general caretaker because they
know that no laundry will take
the same interest," in their socks.
no restaurant will take the same
interest in guarding their diges-
ton, and no light-o'-loVe will take
the same interest in saving their
money as wife will.
Then, some men marry just in
order to get the idea out of their
system or to stop their friends
from nagging them about it; or
TO escape from all the women
who are pursuing them, by tying
themselves TO one woman. 1t is
often the only graceful exit from
a lot of foolish entanglements.
And gratitude has inspired
many a man to marry his nurse;
usually after long Illness, and
while he is too weak to put up a
struggle and is still dependent
upon the daily powder and
the alcohol rub, and can't even
wash his own face.
Lots of men marry out of
pique; when they are sore and
reckless, after some woman has
thrown them over or made them
so miserable that they want TO
lay their heads on another
womans shoulder and be "syInpa.
thized' with.
And more than one man has
walked up, after a big whoopee
party to find himself securely
married to somebody, whose first
name escapes him, and whose
maiden name he has never heard.
Then, lots of men are at
tracted to marriage. these days
by the modern 'fifty-fifty' plar,.
which looks so simple and easy,
and promises all the joys and
comforts of sweet hone-life,
with none of it's responsibilities
and restrictions.
1T is becoming more and more
popular for men to look around
for a successful self-supporting
woman who will help bring home
the bacon, and then cook it, her.
self. Just a jolly little running
mate, who will do most of the
heavy pulling, and asks abso-
lutely nothing!
And there was still another
reason why men marry. that
had in mind. Oh. yes, l remem-
Der now. Because they are IN
LOVE"
II never thought of THAT"
said Mrs. Divot, But, there IS
quaint old custom. whereby a
man allows himself to be led to
the altar, just because he loves
a woman and WANTS to marry

ATOMS ARE RIGHT
 AND LEFT HANDED
Like Human Beings, They Work
 With Different Sides

Ithaca. N. Y, April 26 R-Right and left handed patterns of atomic arrangements in molecules. are ex- plained in special course in chem- iStry this semester at Cornell uni- verstiy.
 The course is by Prof. F. NJ. Jaeger, nonresident lecturer in chemistry, who comes as a visitor from the government university of Groningen. Netherlands.
 There are substances built up by equal members of the same atoms, differing only in configurations an- alogous to the differences between two gloves of a pair.
 On first sight this appears to be an unimportant detail, but it is not. For, although the most common commercial properties of right and left handed phases are the same, they differ widely in their effects upon the human body.
 As an example, Dr. Jaeger says . synthetic form of nicotine exists. quite different in it's effects from that present in smoking tobacco This nicotine is found to be two- fold less poisonous than the form pro- duced by nature. The molecular pat tern in the natural product is left handed. while the synthetic nico- tine has it's atoms arranged in a right handed form. The synthetic low poison nicotine has been made only in laboratories. Dr. Jaeger says it is too difficult and expensive by present methods for commercial production.
 And" he adds perhaps it's ef- feet would be so. different that to- bacco users would not care for it."
 pr. Jaeger is teaching graduate students how thIs right and left handedness exists in most products of nature; how by it frequently two substances of quite different effects are prod duced. although they are composed of precisely the same constituents.
 Thus t happens that one such substance has a sweet taste and the other is insipid. One has quite different odor from the other Nature is prone to make only one variety, but almost never both Chemists. however. sometimes dis cover methods of making the sup pressed kind even for commercial use.
 Occasionally the synthetic sub stances develop important medical uses. A remarkable instance is belladonna. The natural product, which is right handed, strongly en- larges the pupil Of the eye. and is used to increase the luster of the feminine eye. But the left handed form. which can be made in the laboratory. has no effect on the iris.
