War His Chance

Born 55 years ago, of a
Dutch father and a Partisan
mother, M. Citroen, with a
good technical education,
started out to convert the
French to the American
mass-production gospel. He
started out to teach them
that the automobile was not
a luxury, but a necessity.
When the American Army
said good-by to Mademoi-
selle from Armentieres, it
left 100000 motor cars in
France. They had to be
sold. Frenchmen who had
never dreamed Of being
able to own a motor car
bought American Army cars
for song.
Here was where Citreon
looked ahead. He knew
those American cars couldn It
last long. In a year or two
they would be junk, even in
the hands Of careful French
men. So he went ahead
and built his little Citroen
cars to be all ready, when
the time came, to meet the
taste and fill the demand
created by the American
cars.

ONCE OVERS

Why don't you select good
qualities about people and speak
of them, when you allude to
such persons?
Why so few complimentary
friends?
Nearly everyone has good
traits.
Surely they should be con-
sidered and discussed in prefer
ence to their frailties.
If you were entirely free from
faults, there might be some ex-
cuse for the avidity with which
you seize upon the slanderouS
gossip floating about.

MARRY-GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland

But, it seems that all this was
not quite enough. Not Suffi-
GENTLY far from the basic idea
and the original meaning of
marriage, to disguise the flavor.
Some poor, unhappy victim"
of wedlock might SUSPECT
that he was really MARRIED!
So now, with the approval Of
a number of authors and psy-
biologists, an absolutely NEW
and positively painless form of
marriage is being exploited.
THE most completely denatured
brand of matrimony ever sug'
geSted!
According to this new theory,
a husband and wife should not
attempt to live together in the
same house. They should have
separate quarters, in the same
city, perhaps, but not so near
as to get on each others nerves
or to squabble over the shower
or listen in on each others tele-
phone calls.
Boloney, macaroni, spaghetti!
Fancy two business partners oc-
cupying separate suites of of.
fices, employing separate office
forces, and meeting each other
only on the golf links!
Marriage, like any other
partnership, is MERGER! A
merger of interests, ambitions,
work and hopes! You marry,
not in order to keep up your
illusions or to crafty your de-
Sires, but in order to get a
PARTNER, with whom to build
up a life. A companion with
whom to share things-your
secrets, your doubts, your
triumphs, your troubles, your
jokes, your dinners, your rap
lures and your heartaches.
And one of the things that
The Washington times., 1933-08-14

But you are not-you are as
human as the rest of the world.
Perhaps you have more weak
neSSeS than the ones of whom
you say something detrimental.
Possibly that is the reason
why you draw attention so
often to the faults of others.
If you looked for the good
you'd find it and it is equally
true that if you look for the
bad you will be just as success
full in finding unfavorable
points.

Denatured Marriage

Somebody is always trying to
denature marriage. Somebody
is always inventing a new gadget
for the dear old institution to
make it easier and smoother, or
trying to camouflage it, so that
you won't recognize it.
You'd fancy it was castor oil!
Or spinach! If half the inge-
nuity had been expended in in
venting new ways Of disgusting
spinach and carrots, that has
been used up in trying to make
marriage seem like something
different" this would be a bet

81 varieties of marriage to choose

THE RoosEvELTIAN BIC STICK"

The "Big Stick" of Teddy Roosevelt
fame may now have to be welded by the
present Roosevelt of the White House. Al
though the president has been highly sue
cessful through powers of persuasion in
having his way with the national congress,
it is already apparent that a different
method will have to be used in dealing
with the other nations of the world
Retaliation, rather than cooperation,
has become the rule of the present era in
international dealings. Our new adj
ministration is in fact well embarked upon
that international policy despite the ideas
of cooperation surrounding popular con-
cept of the world economic conference
Our high tariffs were built to keep
out foreign goods and protect home in
dustries Foreign countries retaliated with
high tariffs upon our imports After
Europe had cracked under the strain of in
dustrial stagnation she, for the most part,
resorted to further steps of retaliation by
abandoning the gold standard SO as to be
able to flood this country with cheaply
manufactured goods despite our tariffs.
Our offset under the new administra-
ton has been an embargo on gold and the
depreciation of our currency. These steps
were designed to whip the foreign nations
to their knees and put them into a con-
ciliatory frame of mind for the economic
conference
Apparently the scheme has not had
perfect results, and further, even sterner
methods will have to be used by us at
London.

AN AARON BURR TRICK

In New York is the History building
Of the Bank of Manhattan company, an in
stitution whose history goes back almost
to the foundation of the government It is
recalled by recent writer that the insti-
tuition resulted from the shrewd trick of
a lawyer, who was none other than the no.
torious Aaron Burr.
At the time the bank was projected
the group behind it were "in bad" politi-
cally and hence unable to obtain bank
charter. They organized water COM
pany instead, but in drawing up the char
ter Burr added clause permitting the
company to engage also lin other neces-
sary business" The other business was
construed to include banking and it has
been carried on ever since.
The structure in Wall street adjoins
the lot formerly occupied by Federal Hall,
the first national capital, where Washing
ton took the oath of office as President.
That tract is now the site of the sab-treas-
ury.
