Marry-GO-
Round
BY HELEN ROWLAND
DO YOUR HUSBAND
SHOPPING EARLY

Wise virgins will do their
husband shopping early-and
avoid the rush or the last Of the
wedding rings. Because, if you
can believe all you read in the
many magazines for men. which
are springing up. on every news"
stand, there will soon be no
marrying-men this side Of
Paradise.
Most of the determined mag.
azines seem to be designed to
appeal exclusively to bachelors;
and, in them, women are either
treated with light and airy
mockery, or are pictured as the
primal cause Of all mems
troubles and mistakes.
AS for married men, they are
completely ignored as some
thing obsolete, like horse-hair
sofas and mustache-cups.
Can it be that our American
men, once famous as the best
husbands in the world, are no
longer marriage-minded? That
they no longer think in terms
of engagement rings, suburban
bungalows and perambulators,
but in terms Of Self-defense,
freedom and gay penthouse
parties? can't believe it!
It is true that the wild women
of the postwar period had a
great big hand in spelling the
finest lot of husbands, potential
and actual, that the world has
ever known. It was in those
topsy-turvy days that the mar.
riage-minded American m a n
somehow got the perfectly new
and startling idea that he could
take marriage-or leave it
alone; but that he need not
take it seriously.

home the idea that the salvation of the G. O. P. lay in
new and younger blood.
With the election of Fioreo LaGuardia and Thomas
Dewey as mayor and district attorney of New York,
Mr. Hoover has an opportunity to show whether not
he means business.
No more dynamic, hardhitting and altogether

Dewey will not be hard for Mr.. Hoover and od-line
Republican leaders to take. He is blue-blood be-
longs to the best clubs served assistant district at
torney under Hoover, and never has devated from
hard-and-fast Republican faith.
Furthermore Dewey is no liberal. In fact, he was
little hard for his American Labor party supporters
to swallow Inclined to be ant-labor, it only the
persuasion of the shrewd Fioreo, who chance to
win odline Republican votes that got him place

Therefore, Mr.. Hoover ct al. will welcome Dewey

The universal wall. Not just
the religious lament Of church
people, but the common cry Of
humanity everywhere, regardless
Of who they are, what they have.
A cry as fundamental as hunger,
thirst, cold. WE NEED TO Be
LIEVE. BUT WE'VE LOST
OUR WAY 80.
We Lack Faith
of Our Fathers
We have everything else whicha
our fathers didn't have, but we
lack the one thing which our
fathers did have, which gave
warmth to their lives, and pas
sion, and purpose, and pride -.
WE LACK THEIR FAITH. WE
CAN'T BELIEVE IN GOD-OR
IN PEOPLE: IN LIFE-OR IN
OURSELVES.
We've eaten our apple and lost
our Paradise. We've sold our
birthright Of courage and conf
dence for a "pottage" Of sneer
and doubt.
Ye we MUST believe-or we'll
die. We NEED to have FAITH,
as surely as we need to have
FOOD or FIRE or DRINK.
Things happen to people who
don't believe: people who can
only doubt or sneer. Not church
things but plain. practical
things.
They go sour they shrink
they dry up. They hate-and are
hated. There's no zest in their
lives no song. We MUST be-
lieve if we want to live. But
how?
Well, how do we do those other
things which are essential to
our lives? How do we eat or
drink or light our way or
fall in love? Do we wait for
PROOF before we do these
things? No. we don't. We
don't PROVE water, before we
drink it Z. . nor UNDERSTAND
electricity before we use it. :.
nor ANALYZE love before we
fill our hearts with its song.
AS a matter of fact, we CAN'T
prove these things. They are
wrapt in wonder and mystery
which no one can explain. Yet
we accept them -. we are CRATE
full for them we base our
lives upon them.
WHY, THEN, MUST WE
WAIT FOR PROOF BEFORE
WE HAVE FAITH?
There is a longing in us crueler
than hunger and a loneliness
more terriblstthan thirst. There
is a need we ourselves cannot
name. Luxuries pile about us,
but they do not satisfy us. We
are filled with doubt. Only one
thing will help us-and that is
FAITH.

TWO NARROWLY
ESCAPE DEATH
IN CAR CRASH

Saved from serious injury by a
steel topped automobile and saved
from almost certain death by drown
ing because of a stump, Mr.. and
Mrs. Lloyd Green of Fritz Cove
are still marveling at their luck,
neither being injured beyond bad
shaking.
Early yesterday morning, return
ing to their Fritz Cove home, in a
heavy fog, the Greens ran off the
road where the big rock cut on the
Fritz Cove road leaves the road
high above the water.
The car left the highway just
beyond the protective railing at
that point and plunged sixty feet
down the steep bank, to bring up
against a pile of logs and an old
stump with four wheels spinning.
Deep water was just below the car
The top of the car is badly
crushed.
