Famous Authority on Problems of
Loue and Marriage
Dear Miss Fairfax:
"My ideas of home and marriage
were taken from my mother and
father, who are truly devoted to
each other and have never had
any life outside of their home and
children.
"Since my own marriage 1 have
been shocked to hear other young
wives talk of the infidelity of
their husbands, and speak of their
own lovers as if it were the most
natural thing in the world.
HAS modern marriage gone
completely on the rocks? What
proportion of married men and
women really are unfaithful to
each other? And why do huS-
bands and wives put up with in
fidelity?
bride OF 22."
Happily, there are no statistics
about the number of husbands and
wives who cheat in marriage, and
when you ask why married people
put up with unfaithful partners,
here are some of the reasons:
Millions of women have never
had any training for economic in
dependence. If they left their
philandering hubSands, they know
their children would be roofless
and foodleSS. For the sake OF
their children, they suffer in 81.
lence.
Again, they really love these
these philandering husbands, hope
they'll reform, and in the mean
time are thankful for such crumbs
of affection as come their way.
And men put up with unfaith-
full wives for practically the same
reasons. They do not wish to break
up her home, and sometimes they
are genuinely fond of these two
timing sirens.
But the old-fashioned home
where children grew up with de-
cent standards is. thank Heaven,
not thing of the past. And if
these restless philanderers only
knew what they were missing in
fitting from one affair to another,
they'd turn over new leaf.

it gets hot. They always look

Just wait and see. We're apt to
beat Cleveland this year."
And unless every sign displayed
in the South is all wrong, the
GriffS have at least a chance OF
beating Cleveland. They have q
chance with most of the league
breaks in the luck being even.
Well, let's line them up. The
Indians have Johnny Allen,
formerly with the Yankees. Wed
rather have Buck Newsom. Mel
Harper and Willis Hudlin along
with Oral Hildebrand the Brown
boys, Clint and Lloyd give the
Indians a fair to middlin' set OF
hurlers. Giving Newsom the edge
over all of them as he stands to-
night, Whitehill, Linke and some
of the others might have to
scramble a bit. But taking them
as a band, maybe Griff is right.
Dean Tops NewsOm,
AS a matter of fact, there is
only one pitcher in baseball right
now who stands out over New
som, and that is Dizzy Dean Of
the Cardinals. Newsom now has
learned something about pitch

vailed over the Rome promoter,
who insisted that the players go
to the field and prepare for action.
The promoter was supported by
Charley Dresser, who was willing
to play.
Conditions were all against even
attempting to start a game. In
the first place the thermometer
registered close to freezing tenn

The ball field was a morasS, but
a promoter wanted two major

them to pneumonia. A team play
ing ball on the grounds at Rome
under the conditions that pre-
vailed yesterday might be ruined

Flood Bound, Maybe
Beyond that, with the water

play a ball game might have
resulted in the team being flood

The sole purpose of these ex-

The moment conditions are
such that the purpose of exhibit

become a detriment to the well
being of the clubs engaged.
Provisions Necessary
Provision should be made. and
one of these days will be made,
giving managers of major league
clubs the right to decide for them
selves when weather and field con-
ditions are favorable to baseball.
This right should be extended to
