A matrimonial partnership, 10
succeed, is built today on the same
old foundations as it has been from
the beginning: Uneelfishness,
faith, loyalty and service. Modern
substitutes, such as being per
fectly free" are just another fu-
tile attempt to build a house on
sand.
Experimental marriage might

whisked about from one parent to
another, trying to adjust them
selves to a change of household
every six months, or even oftener.
A dean of Princeton University
has called the child of divorced
parents "a lone wolf" and says he
presents the most difficult OF stu
dent problems.
And girls whose parents have
been divorced are not welcome in
at least one highly successful
Junior college, which prepares girls
for Vassar and Bryn Mawr.
CHANGED PEOPLE
No denying that people have
changed outwardly. But, as
George Gershwin says: Its the
same old sentimental songs about
love in the springtime, the old
home and memories OF mother
that still sell a million copies"
All those brave new expert
ments in living" seem rather hui
morous, when insisted upon by a
certain lady whose natural habi-
tat is the lecture platform. She
has had three husbands and three
divorces, which certainly is not
an outstanding proof of marital
happiness.
Fundamentally, aeroplanes, cleo
trio lights and 60-mile-per-hour
cars may have changed the world,
but not the people. The law Of
cause and effect has not gone on
q sit-down strike. LAS We sow, so
shall ye reap" is as true today as
when it was written.
SAME REWARD
The same rewards or punish
ment are doled out in the same old
way. True, the philanderer Of
either sex may have a grand time
while youth lasts; but is any spec
tacle more pitiful than the phil
anderer trying to keep up his
stride as middle-age approaches?
The other day a girl wrote me
q letter, undeniably funny, but
lamentable. Her mother disap-
proved of her goings-on, and tried
to tell her the things which made
women happy - husband, home,
babies-were not acquired by gay
parties with chance acquaintance.
The daughter wrote: MY
mother doesn't realize we're liV-
ing in a new world. In her day, if
she went on the street in pants
she would have been arrested. But
I wear my Stacks every day in the
year. Sure, times have changed"
Now I hate to think of Miss
Modern" as she signed herself, go
ing around unsought, unclaimed,
unwept, twenty years from now.
But If she does marry it will very
likely be some boy as short-sighted
aS she is.

I. Since diamonds have been agreed
upon as the final suit, Mr.. Bachner's
heart bid is now control showing.
S. Mr.. Jacobys reasoning in arriv-
ing at this seven-bid was as follows:
my partner has opened with dia-
mond and subsequently bid spades.
Hence he has at least five diamonds
and four spades. Following my show
Of diamond support he has now shown
the heart control. He is doing all
this bidding with diamond suit,
headed by no better than the king and
with but one ace in his hand. Hence
1t Is more or less Of q cinch to mark
him with the king Of spades and the
king Of hearts, and quite likely a queen
or two extra. Furthermore, with nine
cards in spades and diamonds, he does
not need the queen, since II he has
two hearts and two clubs he will be
able to discard one of his clubs on my
queen Of hearts, while II he has three
hearts and one club no discard is
necessary"
Mr.. Jacoby's reasoning was correct,

 CANADA RAILWAY EMPLOYESANCRY

Montreal, Feb. 4(UP)-Canadian railway employees, determined to call general strike rather than accept the slight wage increase rec commended by the railway concllia- ton board, today called a meeting of all union heads for Monday, Feb ruary 8.
 A strike would paralyze railway and telegraphic communication throughout the dominion and throw approximately 100000 employees out of work.
 Railway unions yesterday refused to accept the majority report of the conciliation board which recom- mended that the present 10 per cent reduction in wages be scaled down to seven per cent before November l. Howard Chase. spokesman for the union, announced their decision in a telegram to w. M. Dickson. deputy minister of labor at Ottawa.
 Reliable sources disclosed today that railway employees would in sist that the minority report of the conciliation board, which recom- mended the complete restoration of the wage cut before November l, be accepted.

MORE PEOPLE TO

They started in two busses yester- day with a guaranty of safety, but were detained when they reached the fighting lines. The detention was said today to have been due to a misunderstanding. It was under stood the majority of the other refugees remaining in the Cuban ern- bassy would be evacuated within a few days. The government was pre- pairing to move 800 refugees from the French embassy and other em- bassies and legations were prepar- ing to transfer their refugees shortly. :, .-....-..

PERCH PLENTIFUL
 IN STATE PONDS
So Numerous in Litchfield Streams as to Face
 Starvation

Hartford. Feb. 4Pcrch have be- come 50 plentiful in some Litchfield county ponds they are suffering from starvation and do not grow to legal size, the state board of fsheris and game announced today.
 Studies of annual growth rings on scales taken from perch at Ty- ler's pond, near Torrington, reveal the fish to be runtS," Supt. Arthur L. Clark declares.
 While perch normally attain ma turity in their third year, these specimens required six years to reach length of but seven inches.
 The board is being petitioned to prohibit ice fishing and to restock this and other ponds-in the belief that such measures will provide big ger fish. If inadequate food supplies exist. these measures will not reme- dy the situation.
 Instead of planting more fish and restricting fishing, the obvious rem- edy for the stunted fish growth caused by over population of perch in Tyler pond must be to open the pond to fishing without regard for catch or size limit until the fish population has been sufficiently re- duced. The board has no authority to do this under existing laws un- less . petition or agreement is signed and presented by the riparian property owners, Superintendent Clark points out.

7845 Patients Treated At
 St. Mary;s Hospital Ln 1886
Rev. Henry E. Quinn Chosen Yice-President
 of Incorporation

Rev. Henry Quinn, pastor of the church of the Sacred Heart, was elected vice-pfesident of the St. Mary's hospital corporation at the annual meeting of the board of di- 1ectorS yesterday afternoon. Father Quinn succeeds the late Rev. Wil- ham O'shea, pastor of St. Mar Harets church.
 At yesterdays meeting, John H. Goss and Michael Noonafl, ccrnmis. gioner of the police board, were re- elected to membership on the board of directors, They were the only two whose terms were to expire.
 Tne hospital had . total of 7,s45 Patients in 1886, the group receiv- ing total of 6o,35o days of care, 1t was reported at the annual meeting. Most Rev. Maurice F. Mo- Auliffe, D. D., bishop of Hartford, presided at the meeting.
 During l936 the hospital gave ser- vice worth $07,798.08 free to the community; one-third of the pa- tients met full hospital charges: 62 1-3 per cent paid in part: and 16 i-3 per cent received treatment and care free.
 The official hospital report, sub- Ynitted by Mother Sacred Heart, the superintendent, follows:
 The year just passed has been one of great activity in all the de- partmentS of the hospital, as will be illustrated by the following items.
 The patients admitted were 7,845, who with the TIT remaining Jan. 1, 1e36. received 69,358 days of care, which represents a daily average of 189 and bed occup- ancy of 76%, exclusive of newborn, which is considered by hospital authorities very active service. Our death rate was 3A%o, a low 2 one, when we consider that 39 pa- tientS died within 48 hours after admission. Eight hundred sixty two newborn, 10 more than in 1885, were welcomed into our nursery; 1884 patients were op- erated upon, 07heb of whom re- covered. The largest number car ed for on any one day was 232 (our bed capacity is 220)--and the lowest number was >140. The aver age number of days stay was 8.8, practically the same as last year, but the cost per day per patient was $3.46, ($24.32 per week., or an increase of 18 cents per day. The increase was principally in the dietary and medical services and in the power plant.
 lM the classification of patients, y1Arked increase is noted in the demand for all private services,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-02-04

especially that of private rooms. This is a good indicatio that the community is in a more prosper ous financial condition than 1t has been in some years. Thirty one and one third per cent of our patients were able to meet full hospital charge for services rem dered; 52 1-39o paid a part of the charge for services rendered, and l6 1-3% received gratis treatment. The latter group represents 1913 patients. or 6,690 days. These pa- tients, at the average rate per day, cost the h o s pit a l $22,80i.4o. The second group, or part pay patients were 4,196 for 42,225 days, and the difference between the cost of these patients to the hospital, and the sum paid by them was $74,977. .88-making the amount of free service render- cd to the community $97, ,798.0s.
 The out-patient department continues it's active service-hav- ing treated 17067 during the year. This is a decrease from last year, which is another indication that families are better able to secure the assistance of their family phy- sician.
 As mentioned above, the cost per day patient during the past year was $3.46, or in other words nursing care cost 40 cents, food $l.06-laundering B .cents-heat, light and power g cents, mcdi- cal and surgical supplies and medicines 38 cents, X-ray and laboratory facilities 16 cents, maintenance and repairs of the plant 21 cents-housekeeping 26 cents, and so on through the djf- ferent services necessary to care for patient.

The volume contains mainly the work of worthwhile but obscure authors who should receive greater recognition for their literary efforts, and the pulp fishers through this collection are introducing their writings to large and important audience of readers throughout the country. Last year, in preparing the book, a nationwide search for talented writers was conducted.

Watertowil, N. r., Feb. 4--(U.P.)-- The law roughly shattered Stanley s. Backus' honeymoon with 12-year- old Leona Elizabeth Roshia today. threatening the 19-year-old mill workers with prosecution for second degree rape. A juvenile court order ed their separation less than 24 hours after their marriage was an- nounced. Backus spent the night at police headquarters where he was questioned by District Attorney Earl J. Hynes, while Leona slept in a boarding house under custody of Miss Angle L. Kellogg, county agent for delinquent and dependent chil- dren. Townspeople were shocked when the wedding was revealed a few days after national attention had been centered on the Tennessee mountain marriage of Charlie Johns 2, and Eunice Winsted, 9.
 Gave Wrong Ages
 Judge Harold P. Porter ordered the separation when investigation showed that Leona and Stanley had presented false birth certificates when they applied for a marriage license. Leona said she was 18 and Stanley gave his age as q. Leona, not yet past the fifth grade in school wept as she was taken from the court. She embraced, her hus- band and told him that everything will be all right" Parents of the couple had approved the marriage, They said Stanley and Leona had been going together" for more than a year.
