BRITISH IDLE ISSUE MAGAZINE
 FOR JOBLESS
Occupati0nal Centers and Social Clubs Offer
 Entertainment

Birkenhead, Lancashire, Eng (UP)-Unempoleyd men have turned publishers here. writing, editing and producing a fortnight ly magazine which even contains a "woman's page."
 The production of this magazine is the newest development of the occupational centers and social clubs organized by the jobless as part of a social experiment.
 Birkenhead has become dotted with occupational centers and so- cial clubs, run on a "twopence week" basis. They are designed to keep the unemployed physically and mentally fit.
 Men besiege the occupational centers, eager to turn their en- forced idleness to good account and the "twopenny clubs" are so prosperous on account of the un- limited supply of volunteer labor and the cumulative value of a mul- titude of twepenny subscriptions that even billiard tables are in- stalled.
 The magazine is typewriter and autographed. It includes phil osophical and humorous items, and articles on practical subjects.
 Glasses for unemployed now are available here for language study, economies, industrial and commer- cial law, stenography, physical training, swimming instruction, sports, drama and music. Educations which never were complete because work called the youths from the classrooms, now are being completed. Thousands college now are being instructed in who never would have entered a arts and. crafts and advanced academic subjects.

mittee was asked to make a check | on the school boundaries of the two schools and to determine whe- ther or not such lines ought, in the interest of the children to be changed.
 Specifically the question involves North Main street from Chestnut Hill Road, which is just north of the entrance to Lakewood park, to the Bucks Hill school line, All the children living on this part of North Main street at the present time belong in the Webster school district and attend the Abbott school. A careful study of the sec- ton shows that the children living in the part of North Main street indicated above are very much nearer to the Abbott school than they are to the Webster school which they now attend. However the approach to Abbott school IS very largely over @ section of Hill street, very hilly and rocky, with out walks, and almost impossible during very stormy weather.

Five charges were read in police court this morning against ono prisoner, Branis Krunglevich, 21, of 1O5 Allen street.

 A few drinks of home brew, one bottle being preserved as evidence, started Branis on Q rampage. He borrowed an automobile owned by Otto Rechenberg and left parked on North Main street. Near the intersection of Easton avenue sn his borrowed machine Branis crashed into a machine owned by Louis Lakatos of Union City.

THE most difficult thing in the world to pre-
serve is the stage marriage. The qualiflca-
= tions for being an actor and the life sur
rounding an actor makes the stage marriage
shaky proposition. No discredit should fall upon
the stage couples who fail to keep the holy state
of matrimony intact, and certainly Carnegie
medals should be bestowed on those who pass the
fifteen-year mark - or at least some orchids
should be extravagantly tossed in their direction.
For every force known to man works against
the stage MARI age, and when it survives it means
not that the participants have been loving faith
full and kind, but something which is much more
difficult for man or woman OF the stage-t
means that they have been level-headed!
Actors can be kind and loving and, incredible
as it may seem to some people, they can even be
faithful, but while these virtues will safeguard
the average non-profesSional marriage, the stage
marriage is still in danger
The participants are actors. We must con-
slider that. Certain mental characteristics have
forced them to seek the stage. They are imagi-
native and impressionable. They desire attention
and appreciation. They are keenly drama-con~
scious and terribly aware of themselves. Put that
in your marriage and see how it goes.
Stage people can't forget themselves for
moment. mean that literally. They listen to
their own voices, watch their own gestures and
are conscious of their own reactions to each and
every happening. When an actor gets mad he
may be blindly, murderousy mad, but somewhere
in his brain a little voice is saying, "Now I'm
furious. My eyes narrow. My voice suddenly
grows harsh ] am hard and cold as steel

T/INA DELMAR, author of the following az

Iapse-or suecess-of stage marriages. Herself .

folk who has written several beSt-Selling novels

Girr-she naturally has been from time to time
drawn within the vivid orbit of "show business"

Miss Delmar in her analysis of the unique re-
1ations of theatrical couples shows conclusively
that real happy Broadway marriage is little
short of miracle The reason for this is that the
actor or the actress, being hyper-sensitiYe,
super-selfconscious artist is always aware of the
emotional aspect of any situation and plays up to
it, which is disastrous for calm married life.
