Domestic Relations
Expert Tells Why
Men Go A. W. 0. |

NEW YORK.-Mrs. Bessie Ham
burger, a wife, mother and grand
mother, whose own happy home
life. she says, is notorious" with
nothing ever happening to jar its
even calm, is something Of an ex-
pert on why men leave home.
Eleven years in the Domestic
Relations Court as assistant corp
grafton counsel gave Mrs. Ham
burger her bachelors degree, she
says. Now she's taking a post
graduate course, running the
abandonment division of the dis
trict attorneys'S office.
She can boil down all the hun
dreds of reasons why men go A.
w. o. L. on their wives and chill
dren, and get about nine general
answers.
Here they are: They don't make
enough money; their health is too
poor for family responsibility;
they aren't physically compatible
with their mates; they haven't
had religious training; they have
no regard for the Sacredness Of
the marriage contract; they had
no domestic training; they are
smitten by that old bug wander
lust, or by love of a good time.
Lastly, and pretty important. they
just get plain, ordinary bored with
baby bottles and cheap cuts Of
meat, crowded rooms and nagging.

baby awake when you reach home
from work; it's important that
you get acquainted" with the
baby.
Play with the baby as much as
you can; get him to laugh heart
lily which develops his lungs and
good nature.
For Mother: Don't rush to
father the moment he comes
home, telling him the cute things
the baby did during the day: let
father learn them himself as the
baby usually will repeat them.
Be regular with the baby: feed
him at stated intervals; put him
to bed at a certain hour and train
him to awaken at regular time.
Give the baby a bath every day
and at the same time.
Don't seek advice from the
neighbors on how to rear the
baby; consult your physician.
Sunlight is good for baby but
too much is bad.

A survey of the traffic on the

ty Democratic Committee, showed
that a vehicle crossed the bridge
every 20 seconds during daylight
and that this survey was made
in February, 1886, when the
bridge span was covered with ice
and snow.
Two other matters Of interest
to be taken up by the board in
clude the possibility Of the coun-
ty supplementing the present
$4,000 annual salary of Judge
walter T. Mccarthy and a pro-
.posal to ban angle parking on
wilson Boulevard to permit a
wider thoroughfare at this con-
gested point.

Something like that developed in 1928. MT. Coolidge refused to go beyond his statement that he did not choose" to run, and many be- lieved he wanted the nomination. Yet MT. Hoover was running, and MT. Hoover was a member of the Coolidge Cabinet. Many who knew both men believe that after those tense pre- convention weeks things never were the same between them.
 In MT. Roosevelts Cabinet are at least two or three who doubtless would like to succeed him. Among the Democratic Senators and Gov ernors are many others. Can a non committal Presidential attitude be maintained without serious intra- party disturbance?
