divorces on frivolous or groundless causes, the holy institution of mat rimony is in Q deplorable condition. It is my firm conviction that there should be NO cause for divorce. If a man and wife don't get along well, that's jus ttoo bad-but they are still and should be still man and wife. If they realize that, they will be happy-they will MAKE their happiness. For better or worse they join, an dthrough better or worse they should keep their bargain and their oath before the law of God and man. Until death do us part is the period of the contract, without an if" says George McManus, and adds:
 Misunderstanding sometimes are good for the soul. A man and a woman may love each other deyot- edly and still clash in disposition and opinion. Husbands should have their say and wives should have theirs. Let them fight 1t out. But it's their fight, and I'm against courts as referees, I'm against ali- mory to the winner, and I'm against parentless children and broken VOWS and broken homes.

A year or so ago corned beef was shipped to China, and now it is unnecessary to change the cention of the dish for special Oriental consumption. The Chinese now believe that George McManus is the inventor of corned beef and cabbage.

 Tn South America, the cartoon became an instantaneous laugh success because 1t revealed a sit- uatiori in which Q man was domin- ated by q woman. That is soTile- thing the Latins would never per- init to exist. The fact that Q wo- man should have power over a man seemed extremely ludicrous to tf:om. The same attitude is to be found in Japan, where bossy wo- man is as rare as @ jinrikisha is in the United States.
 Tn other parts of the world there were other reactions to the car- toon. As in the case of China and corned beef, so were the readers of European nations baffled by various terms, but now they understand them fully.

P. Long literally has driven many
prominent LouiSianian from public

Long resorts to any means at his

His most favorite method of at

are many former political lights
who have sought retirement rather
than face his vituperation.
Long refers to Mayor T. SemmeS

use the term that even children on
the street refer to the Mayor by
that name. Although still in pol
