as though Grundy and Pinchot were
being forced into the same camp in this
primary campaign, although they have
stood for Numerically opposite things
in the past. Thomas Raeburn White,
chairman of the Republican League and
Committee of Seventy, has come out
with an Endorsement of Grundy for the
Senate and Pinchot for governor. Pin
chot is attacking the Philadelphia or
ganization, headed by Ware, and so Is
Grundy. Ware Is supporting Brown and
Davis. Mr.. Grundy has turned his guns
on Gen. Atterbury, president OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad and Republican
national committeeman for Pennsylva"
mia, charging that Gen. Atterbury and
the Philadelphia organization are en-
gagged in a conspiracy to loot the State.
How far Mr.. Grundy'S attacks are likely
to carry him remains to be seen. With
the record of the manipulation of poll
tics and politicians which the veteran
president of the Manufacturers AsSo-
citation has back of him, it is not I'M
likely that his demands for a cleanup
will fall on number of deaf ears.
The Republicans are planning more
and more to enter the coming campaign
with the Hoover standard in their
hands. They have to go to the bat on
the record of the administration, and
they are putting its achievements for
ward at every opportunity. This is
true up in Maine, where the State con.
vention has recently been held. And
it will be the same story in other State
conventions as they are held. 1t be-
gins to look now as though there would
be real success growing out OF the
London Naval Conference, and II there
Is, it will be put forward as one OF the
major accomplishments of the admin
istration.

Financial and Domestic.

Not all of our money problems are
commercial or economic Indeed many
of them are purely domestic. This fact
Is borne out by the statement Of a do
mestic relations court Judge that more
divorces are caused by financial trou-
bles between husband and wife than by
any other thing. 1t appears that mar
rage is becoming more OF partner
ship than ever.
When the partners" disagree upon
how their establishment is to be run,
or how the profits are to be divided
and who shall control the exchequer,
it is natural to find the partnership
dissolving. Not only must the diSburse-
ments of the income be agreeable TO
both parties, it must be planned by
both.
Think of business partnership, If
you can, in which one partner spends
or overSpends, regardless Of the feelings
and fortunes of thesother one. Think
Of business partnership in which the
responsibility for spending and deposit
ing money rests on one. Few will have
ever heard of such arrangements.
Undivided financial management and
responsibility can be scarcely expected
to succeed better in matrimony than in
business. trlctlOn is certain 10 develop,
and matrimonial disturbances gradually
lead up to a dissolution of the partner
ship. The rest of the troubles are seen
In the domestic relations courts.
Homes may be run on busineSs-like
principles. 1t is generally recognized
that rent, heating, lighting and similar
expenses are essential to both home and
ONCE, It Is also recognized that salaries
or allowances in the home are the due
Il those who labor. The maintenance
If either a business or a home can be
easily fixed by means Of budget. The
same means, or any other, may be used
to regulate spending.
BY treating money in this impartial
way and seeing its use as a personal
obligation rather than privilege of one
or another, ones home business func-
tons smoothly and harmoniously. Much
of the discord that arises in a home Is
the result of the criticism by one mate
of another's handling of money. q.
Obviously the way in which to remove
the bone Of contention Is to make
money a mutual problem to be solved

TRAFFIC PERIL

Each day some people are run down
and slain by cars in some ones town.
Each day the coroner holds his quest
and some poor gent is laid to rest. The
grave incloSes mangled SWANS, while
undertakers count their gains. And
now some stern officials rise, determi-
nation in their eyes, and say to judges
and police, This sort of thing will have
to cease. The death list grows by
bounds and leaps, on every block a
widow weeps. Bring in the reckless
drivers now and give them all the laws
allow. And bring the drivers soaked
with gin, whose conduct is a mortal sin.
Bring every brash and locoed gent who
figures in an accident" We have. such
spasms now and then; the courts are
drastic penalties as make the blood
within them freeze. A man draws down
a heavy fine for parking slightly out Of
line; one goes to prison for year for
driving after drinking beer; one has to
dig up loads of mon for practicing the
hit and run. This system would be we'll

violators of the laws were always given
ample cause to curse the day on which
they made our well known statutes wilt

expire; the cops in time begin to tire
Of dragging victims to the dock, where
they are due to get q shock. The
worthy jurists find it hard to hand out
justice by the yard, to send some fellow
up for life who has nine children and

FOOD PROBLEMS
One Way to Simplify.
By sALLIE MONROE.

A good way for the overworked house.
wife to tighten her burden-any many
housewives are overworked of course
is to plan one easy meal day.
Let it be luncheon or supper. And
let it be really easy. 1t can be pre-
pared without more than or 10 min
uteS' preliminary work. And yet 1t can
be nourishing and palatable.
The family must be made to see that
1t is a highly desirable thing 70 accom-
pliSh this simple meal. Their Coop
Grafton must be gained to make the
thing work at all. Put the matter to
them nationally. Tell them that the
food will be just as nourishing, that
the saving of time will work to their
benefit and that their health will, If
anything, be improved by this simplif1-
cation.
This meal can consist of bread and
butter, fruit, eggs and milk, and be
really satisfying and wholesome. The
eggs are to be served boiled or coddled.
the fruit raw or cooked. Instead OF
milk, cocoa may be served, If you wish.
If, in addition to this simplifed menu,
you ask each member Of the family to
carry his dishes to the kitchen after
the meal and to leave the table In order,
the housewives time will be further con-
served. She will have more time to
prepare satisfying dinner, and will
also have more time for rest and recrea-
ton, which she needs as much as any
body else in the family.

After the Strain.

And he drank of the wine, and
was drunken. Gen. tx. 81.
This was Noah, the man who walked
with God during that awful period be-
fore the food when the whole earth
was filled with wickedneSS and vio-
lence; the man who stood alone, SOL
itary saint in his generation, uninfect-
ed by the universal contagion around
him; the man who, "being warned of
God of things not seen as yet, moved
with fear, prepared an ark to the saw
ing of his house" when the flood came
and every living substance was de-
stroyed which was upon the face Of
the ground; the man who for 100
years withstood the jeerS and mock
ing of the unbelieving and goddess null
tttudes about him while he was build
ing the ark.
And when was this that Noak drank
of the wine, and was drunken? It
was when the food, that terrible ca
tastrophe of Divine Judgment, had
passed Feeble human nature! When
the strain is over. the reaction comes
At first, after the deluge had nbated,
Noah built an altar and made an Of
fering unto the Lord in token of his
gratitude for the deliverance of his
house Then he set about the task Of
rebuilding a shattered world, He "be-
gan to be an husbandman, and he
planted a vineyard" The first harvest
came. How the sight must have
thrilled him! The long strain through
which he had passed was over. Here
at last was ease!
He relaxes. He loses sight OF the
altar. He turns to the wine cup, Be-
hold him now, lying Sprawled in his
tent, debauched, drunk. And this

How we all need to watch ourselves
In the hour of ease and relaxation after
hard and long strain!
