For Marital Success

II two people are congenial in
tastes, have mutual interests, and
apply to their home making and
marriage contract half of the pFin-
eiples OF good business that they
do to outside interests, success I'm
most cases Is assured. Troubles
may come-and they do to every
couple-but people seem equal to
these real emergencies. It's the
straw that breaks the camel's
back. you know, and it's the little
things Of life that count for the
most. Little courtesies must be
remembered and each party should
endeavor to be good sport and
play fair. A woman who nags is
never beloved woman, and the
man who has a perpetual crouch
becomes a person to be endured.
Affection may be strong but II
seldom survives constant criticism,
Indifference and carelessness Of
personal appearance.-Rachel Ann

Cricket "Alarm Cleeks"

A novel custom among the jap
anese is the keeping Of singing
erickets which they use like watch
dogs-only the warning of the
cricket Is directly opposite from
that Of the dog. writes Raymond L.
Ditmars. naturalist, In Boys Life.
The crickets are kept in cages not
unlike bird cages and sing all
through the night When somebody
walks across the floors, which shake
because they are laid on bamboo
rods. the vibration frightens the
ertckets and they stop singing.
Then everybody wakes up-from
the unusual silence.

 Commenting on the return of Lalone and Moulthrope to prison from Florida where they were sen- tenced to life Imprisonment for murder of a police officer, Smith commented in these words:
 Why should these DOT unfortu- nate wretcbes then suffer( after they had been returned) an additional penalty in state prison.
 While Julius J. Hadley, secretary of the state department of public affairs, emphatically denied that any sweeping investigation" of con- ditions at the state prison in Weth- ersf1eld was being made, an emerg- ency meeting of the board of direc- tors of the prison was being held there this noon.
 No Inquiry Under Way
 The department of public well fare, through MT. Hadley, stated to- day that no investigation was be- ing made of conditions at the state prison. NO information regarding unwholesome conditions have come to the attention of the department from any official source, and if such information does come. 1t will be turned over directly to the board of directors and warden of the prison, in whom the department has com plete confidence" he said.
 Two members of the board Of public welfare visit the prison, ev- cry three months, unannounced, and always make a point of inspecting the solitary confinement cells, and talking with the prisoners being punished. In these visits. no evil dence has been discovered which would indicate anything but humane treatment.
 ''The prisoners, furthermore. have the privilege of writing, to the de- partment, uncensored letters, at any time they desire to appeal from de- cisions of the prison officials. In all such letters received from prison inmates, I cannot recall any which did not show prison officials to be in the right" MT. Hadley said. L Warden Charles S. Reed this morning refused to make any com- ment on the charges contained in the article of the ex-chaplain.
