MATRIMONY
By Jo Kerr

Matrimony has been described in What's What as the test of man. and-woman's endurance of fer mented bliss.
 When you speak of matrimony you refer to an adventure of two daring souls, a connubial scrim- mage, or an advertising scheme.
 There have been instances where a couple in the presence of wit nesses have been properly fettered, and endured the agony all their lives.
 Such martyrdom is no longer necessary. When two fond souls are seized with vague unrest. hand in hand, in mutual joy, they hike to the nearest manacle breaker and have the unrest quickly put to rest.
 This method is now. so popular 1t is almost impossible to satisfy the demands of unrest by ordinary means.
 And the efficient Brain Trust de- clares that aching hearts can now be pulled apart by electricity. Just one flash and love is smashed.
 Tn the future. to prevent misap- plication Of the untried heart, an examination will be required to show whether they can stand mar ital rigors, or like turtle doves cud-. die up on the same pillow.
 One thing is sure, all there IS to matrimony is setting In and get.

Washington, Nov. 6-Behind the naval negotiations now un- der way in London is a lot more than a mere matter of Japanese tonnage. No matter what ton they will still pursue their mili- tant policy in the far cast.
 But what is much more i'm portant though not admitted by the state department = is the question of British and Ameri- can cooperation.
 The United States and Great Britain together can block Jap- anese aggression. Singly they can't.
 So far cooperation between the two countries has been nil.
 The alleged alliance" so ac-, claimed at the, time Herbert; Hoover and Ramsay Macdonald sat on their log on the Rapidan, has disappeared in smoke. It evaporated not long after the British labor government was replaced by the present tory regime.
 During the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, Britain and the United States worked at com piete cross-purposes. When Hem ry L. Stimson sent a note of protest to the Japanese foreign office, the British ambassador went through the same notion.
 But afterward he would call to say that his protest actually meant nothing.
 During those days the old Anglo-Japanese alliance was as effective as if it never had been abrogated.
 BRITISH AWAKENING
 Since then, there has been a certain shift of British senti- ment. Lancashire textile inter- ests have wakeped up to see their markets invaded by Japan csc goods. In India, bitter trade war has been waged over Japanese exports.
 In Siam, Japanese are stirring up dissension against British domination over King Praja dAi- DOh. IldL IS OIlG TcdSOn ilS lo Oti the way out. The Japanese want control in order to build canal through the Isthmus of Krim, thereby nullifying Britain's great far eastern stronghold - the Singapore base. S
 The British also have received intimations that the Japanese have their eyes on Hongkong, and that wealthy British sphere of influence, the Yangtze valley. To thwart this, Field Marshal Allenby and British admirals held an important conference on warship off Singapore, have sent more vessels to the far east.
 But despite this British fear, there has been no definite indf- cation that the British would work with the United States rather than with Japan.
 State department officials have searched for it, would well come such a sign. But there is nothing concrete. Britain's game seems to be that of playing

Residents won't be able to step across the state line to partake of the more liberal laws of sis ter state Maine is effectively cut off from the rest of New England by New Hampshire and with the two states eye to eye on the liquor question it will be much easier to enforce the laws in both of them, but particularly in Maine, which has Can ada on the northern boundary.

.Lawrence's Widow Tells Of His Life
BY BRUCE CAPTION

Activities of the women who tagged around after the late D. H. Lawrence make dreary and srotesque tale; and the trouble is that all of them insist on telling it. The result has been some ex- ceedingly odd books, in which any number of females have basked in the reflected glory of great writer. &
 Now. however. after all. the rest have had their say, the mans widow has hers. Freda Lawrence tells her story in Not I, But the Wind,'' and it is a valuable and revealing book.
 For this lady is concerned with giving the world some new infor- nation about a great literary man, and not with telling about herself. She tells of Lawrence's. courtship how this almost penniless Eng lishman captivated her, daughter of the German nobility. induced her to leave husband and children for him, took her through poverty. social ostracism, and great deal of suffering and, homehow, made 1t worth infinitely more than 1t ever cost her-and her account Is a very fine portrait of him.
 If there ever was 8 genius who was tortured by his own genius, 1t seems to have been Lawrence. It made him great and it made him miserable, as genius frequently does: reading this book, one gets a new realization of the travail of spirit out of which literature js born--and, also, new understand ing of the uncompromising honesty with which Lawrence devoted him. self to his work.
 . It is, all in all, an exceptional book. Published by Viking. it sells for $2.75.

other productive means, to feed, clothe, and house themselves. The hundreds of millions of dol lars now being spent for this purpose would be diverted from private industry and trade.
 The inevitable result of this, of course. would be to create more unemployed, who in turn would join EPIC resulting in still further loss to industry, and so on and on until the whole industrial structure would sc bankrupt. u,,.
 Ohio's plan avoids this dcs. tructive circle.
 It does not insulate the unem- ployed in a separate economy. Under the Buckeye formula money spent for relief is not af- fected by what the unemployed produce.
 The dozen idle factories leased by the state, and manned by un- employed, produce certain goods and edibles which are used to supplement the relief extended to the work1ess. Cash relief re- mains the same.
 Furthermore, the state is un- der specific pledge that if fac tory can be returned to profit able private manufacture, it is given back. Also, if leased fac tory worker declines a job from a private employer, he is dis. charged from the state-operated plant.

Press Comment
END OF YELLOW IN CONN. co.
(New Britain Herald)

The Connecticut Company appar- ently has arrived at an important decision, one which in time vii! eliminate the characteristic yellow pant from its transportation equp- ment. The company is going blue.
 All coaches In service will be re- painted blue, with aluminium metal parts and gold lettering. This is supposed to be more artistic than the yellow heretofore in force.
 How much of an improvement this is to be cannot be foretold. Yellow has the very finest visibility and some years ago when a change of color was considered by the Boston. elevated yellow was sug- gested because of it's superior vis- ibility day and night. The Inter- borough in New York chose yell low for the Sixth avenue l. line because of its pleasing appear ance."
 But the Connecticut Company drops yellow in favor of blue for artistic reasons. There is a risk of making mistake, and at slny rate the state will not appear the same with the yellow kids missing.

Selected Poem
DREAM BOAT PASSENGER

(Mazie V. Caruthers in The New York Times) Little boat with dark orange sails Skimming the twilight sea Purple and in the growing dusk Ship aboard your passenger, Over the darkling rim of the world. Half moon hangs in the hollow air The first faint star appears in the blue, Carry far!
 Let your orange wings Lift to the breeze till we slowly drift Into the Land of Nod-for there Slumber awaits!
 And if in my sleep Frightening nightmares harass and fret, Dakku eater of dreams. will sit Close by my bed and feed such dreams So I may rest until the day break, Then, on the azure waves of the dawn, over the rim of aking world, I shall return to tho Land of Here, And thew orkaday of busy life, Carrying still in my tranquil heart The drowsy calm of the of dreams, And the quiet born of long nights sleep!

Annual Vines
Nearly every home Is in need OF
q few more vines for one purpose
or another. We may wish to use
perennial vines under most condi-
tions, but a temporary one will Of
ten meet the need for some time.
Annual vines will often give the ef-
feet wished for, sometime better
than the woody or perennial form
would. The seeds should be sown
where they are to grow or they
may be also started in pots, that
they may transplant easily.
Vines Of this sort are Of the fol-
lowing varieties: Balsam-apple (Mo-
mordica balsamina) Is a handsome
vine with good foliage and warty,
apple-shaped fruits, exposing a bril-
liant carmine interior when ripe.
Height Is to 20 feet. Balsam-pear
(Momordica charantia) resembles
