Manners and Morals
BY JANE JORDAN

Your last question is somewhat
ambiguous. OF course 1 believe in
compensation, but I don't know to
what you refer Is it compensation
for the deserted partner in a mar
riage? Many a person would never
have amounted to a whoop in life
if he had not made a tragic mar
riage which placed him under the
necessity of soothing his humilia-
ton and avenging his defeat by
brilliant personal achievement.
Painful feelings of inferiority spur
us to compensate by establishing our
superiority.
Dear Jane Jordan-My husband,
now 81, has been insanely but
sincerely in love with his 23-year-
old stenographer for five years.
For her he deserted his home,
relatives, fraternities, associates,
church and me. About six months
ago she married for the second
time and he still keeps her in his
Office and is as devoted as ever.
She is ordinary, even sloven. Can
you figure this out?
M. S. H.
Answer-No. I could if 1 knew
the history of the people involved,
but 1 do not. Some men prefer a
woman inferior to themselves be-
cause it is so easy for them to
maintain the superior position.
Others have quite primitive love
needs which are not understood by
refined wives. Some punish them
selves by choosing inferior women
because they are secretly convinced
they deserve no better. The mo-
tives back Of a love choice are too
complicated to be spotted from
letter written from the viewpoint
of any onlooker, particularly one
with an unavoidable emotional bias.

Would you like more light on the
questions which trouble YOU? Write to
Jane Jordan and read her answers In
this column.
Dear Jane Jordan-It has been
said that the crime Of wrecking a
home and separating man and
wife is equal to, if not worse, than
murder. What do you think and
why? Also, what do you think
can possibly be the mental atti-
tude of such a person, especially
when the person says he didn't
do it for love? Isn't it self1Shuess,
or is it the thrill or just love OF
conquest? Do you believe in COM
pensation? ANONYMOUS.
Answer-It is harder to place the
blame in emotional crime than i'll
homicide. Even a jury of psychia-
trists would be hard put to place

TAX ON WEALTH PASSES SENATE BY 57 TO z VOTE
Administrations Me as ure Is Acted Upon After
 Two Days Debate AMENDMENT MAY
 PROVE HANDICAP Bill Must Go to Confer ence-S Situation Said
 to Be Serious

WASHINGTON, August 16.- The Administrations Wealth Tax" bill whipped through the Senate yester- day on a 57 to g ballot.
 The action stirred prospects of adjournment before next week is out.
 Only two days of debate preceded the vote to take an estimated S250,- 100000 from million-d dollar incomes, large corporations, estates and gifts, but the bill, returned to the House with an amendment, is interpreted in administration quarters as threatening serious handicap to Roosevelt's financial program, which was adopted by vote of 40 to 39 at the motion of Senator William E. Borah.
 The amendment would prohibit future Issues of taxzexempt Feaera, securities
 Treasury officials said that 1T &C., cepted by the House, the amend ment would place the Government at disadvantage since states and municipalities would continue to en- joy the tax-free privilege on their securities.
 Aside from handicapping the heavy borrowing program ahead to finance the S4 GOO GOO. 900 Work Re- lief program, officials said that the Borah amendment would increase the cost of all money obtained by the Government.
 President Roosevelt recommended a constitutional amendment to per- init the taxing of all Government securities, whether Federal, state or local.
 The Wealth Tax" bill now goes to conference with the House.
