BETTY'S WAY
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

what he did during that period
does not need to be tod here.
But one day, Jerry opened the
front door of his home and walk
ed in. He went straight up to
Betty, who happened to be stand
ing at the far end Of the living
hoom. He held out his arms to
her and said huskily: 1--WE come
to my senses, Betty, and here l
am"
Betty still has the first hus-
band she married. She and he

now. have their father.
The entire situation is harmon
ious, and everybody seems to
know his onions.
That was Betty's way of max
ing a bad situation work out bet
ter than it might have worked
out. The constructive thing is
always the sensible thing TO do
cam l my brothers keeper?'
Betty was her husbands keeper.
"She challenges the best that
is in me-" says Jerry Of Betty.

story of undying love and m
ability to live apart and the we'd
ding was the same old kind OF
wedding with plenty of shining
eyes and happy comments ana
foolish, trite observations and
congratulations, with Jerry tell
inc everybody how lucky he was
and Betty telling everybody how
iovfuI she was. You know how 1t
is. Virtually all courtships and
all weddings go that way. just
WHY the love story ends with mar
riage, | have never been able -
understand. Marriage is Just the
beginning of things that Will &C
tuallv determine just what the
couple is made of.
Jerry and Betty'a honeymoon
was the usual type. They set ~
housekeeping in the usual way
and they went along for several
wears in the usual manner. Every
thing was altogether satisfactory.
| Both Jerry and Betty looked for
ward to a lifetime together OF
! contentment and entertainment.
Then Jerry got hooked. The
"other woman" appeared in the
picture. and Jerry fell for her.
He fell hard. He swallowed bait,
hook, line and sinker, if you vii
! allow the mixing Of metaphors.
At first as per usual, he tried
to keep Betty from finding out
about his infatuation. Like other
mesmerizcd idiots, he imagined
Betty would never notice that he
had ceased to be interested in
her. Matters progressed until
Jerry was impelled by an increas-
ing state Of hypnotism to tell
Betty Of "this new, great love
that has come into my life" He
spouted eloquentlv of "a holy
passion" and prated intensely
about the absolutely necessity Of
joining his hfe to that Of this
other woman. incidentally he
overlooked the fact that he had
felt exactly the same way about
Betty. Jerry wanted a divorce
so he could marry this person
who before the world was. heaven
had ordained should be his per
feet mate.
But Betty was nobody's fool.
Perhaps she just naturally had
common sense. Perhaps she had
been studying assiduously: what
Every Wife Should Know" Any
how. although she was pretty well
cut up about it all, Betty kept
her head.
! This is all bunk. Jerry" she
said. There is nothing to this.
1t won't last. l didn't last with
you and me, though founded on
decency. 1t won't last as long
with you and her, because it is
founded on indecency. Real love
doesn't work that way. You've
got to get this thing out of your
system, Jerry. II you can't do il
one way, you must do it another.
I'm not going TO get a divorce
from you, and you can't get one
from me. I've never loved ANY
man but YOU and | never will. |
never even kissed any man but
YOU. Jerry, I'm not going 10

but Retty stuck 20 her position

maintain balance, and to obtain
the viewpoint of the contesting

But the international aspect is
not entirely dark. Writing of the
recent Pan-American conference
at Montevideo DR.. Ernest Gruen-
ing declares that the conference
accomplished far more than even
the most hopeful expected. A
truce was gained between the
nations waring in the Chaco and
both parties now sit with the
League of Nations in an attempt
to settle the dispute.
Non-intervention in Latin coun-

progress was made in the way OF
better trade conditions between
nations in the Western Hemis-
phere.

cations of Rotary principles to
the business world of today. If
they are why should not Rotary
disband and leave the develop
ment of these ideals to govern
ment? Can government legislate
these principles upon the business
world? Can men, especially in
business, be made good, and, aft
er all, does the application of
ethics make good men? These
are questions that ROtarians
should seek to answer for they
concern the very foundations of
our Rotary organization.
We know that there are Ro-
tarians who disapprove of pres
ent governmental tendencies. Why
do they disapprove? Possibly it
is because they hold to the opin-
ion that government goes afield
when it seeks to legislate ethics
on business. Can business men be
made to be good, or must that
desire to improve business ethics
come from business? Must it
come from within as all good
movements have come? Must bus
mess men be made to realize the
benefits to be obtained by i'm
proved standards? Must they be
lshown by the example Of Rotar-
ians in the business world that
ethics improve business condi-
tons? AS we have said these
are questions that Rotarians must
consider and seek to answer fol
themselves.
And, in the field of service
are present methods of relief OF
value, or do they hurt those re,
ceiving help? Should service be
construed in terms of gift, OF
should men be given the oppor,
tunity to work out their own sal,
walton and improve themselves
Rotarians as citizens of this coun,
try must consider this question in
this light for it has great bearing
on business, and Rotarians are
business men, and it has bearing
on the principals Of the organiza,
ton.
But if Rotarians are of the
opinion that recent policies in this
country conform to the spirit of
Rotary they must if they are true
Rotarians turn their attention to
a consideration Of the world at
large. What Of the sixth object
with its promotion Of internation-
al good will, fellowship, and
world peace through a co-opera-
ton of the worlds business men?
Here we find little indication of
spirit of Rotary. We find the
nations in discord. In the east
the Japanese and Russians eye
each other from behind bayonets
the French and Germans exchange
notes over ornaments, while the

is considered by many to be the
greatest Rotary objective.
Rotary, however. still has It's

in the world Rotary has come OF
age. 1t has reached a point where
its voice must be needed in the
affairs of the world. Rotary has
faith in its principles. 1t haf
faith in the ideal of improved
business ethics as the basis of
better business conditions, and it
has faith in the ideal of world

this century; it is significant that
Rotary should have begun "a
years before Mr.. Harris new era.
1t is significant to me that an
organization having as its key,
note the fostering of service and
fellowship should have been con-
ceived, put into actual form, and
allowed time to attain sufficient
strength to be a potential factor
in the life of the world before
the beginning of what Paul Har-
ris terms the new era.
Rotary has grown, it's ideals
have spread throughout the world,
and it has become a power in the
life of today. While Rotary is
not political it has no fear of 'po-
litical dictators. We see an ex-
ample of this in Germany today.
Hitler's Nazism and the princi-
gals of Rotary are as distinct and
apart as the two poles, and yet
we find that in the passage of
dictatorial edicts for the suppress
sion of all organizations opposed
to his policies, including the
church, Hitler has not dared di-
rect his activities against Rotary,
We find a closer example in
the dictatorship of Gerardo Ma
chado, former president of Cuba
While he suppressed with fire and
the sword those opposed to his
policies he did not dare move
against Rotary; and we have a
personal example of the fact that
! most of the Cuban Rotarians
were opposed to his government
al policies.
, And so we find that Rotary
has grown in strength to the
point where it can really be, and
lis in reality, a potential factor in
the society of man today. And
to me it is significant that Ro,
tary should have reached its ma
jority at such a time in the
worlds history.
l believe that Rotary is just
PREACHING the point where it can
really be of service to the world
l believe that there was never a
time in the history of, the world
(much as l dislike the use of that
expression) when Rotary princi-
pals were more needed.
Let us take our own country
for example. We are no longer
living in the same world of 1929.
In the past year We have seen
great changes. Rotarians should
study these changes with a view
to applying Rotary principles to
them.
We have been told that the
new deal is an application of the
principles of Rotary to this coun-
try. NRA is essentially codifi-
cation of business ethics. CWA
is essentially an application OF
service, another Rotary household
word. And many of the other
governmental agencies set up ir
| the past year are likened to Ro
tary principles.
