DR.. Alice E. Johnson, psychiatrist
of Philadelphia Municipal court,
gives six reasons for marriage failures.
They are: Different family back
grounds of husband and wife; rela-
tives interfering, especially mothers-in-
laws; infidelity; incompatibility; alco-
holism, and desire to dominate"
There Is a seventh reason, to be found
in the nature of man, who Is still 90
per cent In the age of barbarism.
Marilyn Miller is dead, only thirty
eight years old. The little town of
Findlay, Ohio, or the bigger town Of
New York, might well erect some
monument to her memory. She con-
tributed a great deal to human cheer
fulness and happiness, and it may be
said of her, as Samuel Johnson said,
referring to the death of the great
actor, Garrick, that her death "eclipsed
the gayety of nations and impover-
ished the public's stock Of harmless
pleasure"
A lady who signs "B. A. G." is in
terested In very serious things. She
writes: "The more 1 hear Of those
big armies, the more l am reminded of
the huge population of hell. What is
your idea Of hell?"
That big question may be answered
later. An aged colored man once told
his pastor: II don't believe in hell,
because l don't think any constitution
could stand it."
sit worries me-" says the lady, that
so many men are afraid of poverty
here upon earth, and not afraid of
hell" Miss B. A. G. is certain that
hell Is real, belief that must be
comforting to those anxious to have
the wicked punished.
Winthrop W. Aldrich, head of the
Chase National bank, biggest in Amer
lea, knows about money, as did his
father before him, the late senator
from Rhode Island, who invented the
Federal Reserve plan and put 1t
through. Mr.. Aldrich thinks it would
not be a good idea to turn money
loose and encourage a speculative,
Safeguarding boom. He remembers
1929.
Under certain circumstances "the
prospect Of imitation Is very grave
indeed" says Mr.. Aldrich and warns
against "the erection of a top-heavy
structure of credit again."
When a woman starts, she keeps
going, nearly always. Nothing could
stop Joan of Arc, DIR. Mary Walker,
or Nellie BLY, on her trip around the
world. Now Amy Johnson, married
name Mollison, sets out alone In a
streamlined monoplane to beat the rec
ord on a fight to Cape Town and back.
All alone, down to the other side of
the world and back again, over ocean,
forests, wild beasts and wilder men.
And fools used to say women lacked
courage!
An offensive and defensive treaty
between Japan and Germany, like the
one between France and Russia, is
considered a certainty.
It should be possible for nations
that want to survive and prosper to
get together and let others that must
fight kill each other off until they
tire of 1t. This country, at least,
should carry out that plan.
Japan and Russia have passed from
the warning stage to border fight
ing on the Russian side. Planes, war
tanks and heavy artillery are taken
across the Manchukuo border by Rus
STA, and that 'looks like business"
Russia will soon know how much
Mongolia will be worth as protec-
ton against Japan, and Europe may
soon know the value Of Russia as
protection against Asia.
The Canadian Press news service
says Canada's wealth has shrunk al
most six thousand million dollars
since 1929. That will be only a tenn
porary shrinkage.
You know that England is worried
about something when you read that
she now demands that the league es-
tablish an oil embargo against Italy.
A little late, but it is explained that
England is outraged by Italy's use of
poison gas against the Philippians.
Mussolini used something worse
than poison gas against England when
he occupied the Lake Tana region.
