visit Of the RooSeveltian power ennis
saries is Ottawa's reason for believing
that Prime Minister King, at the
private dinner previously mentioned,
supplied assurances of Canada's will
ingness to embark on the st. Lawrence
project upon reasonable terms. Such
an assurance the prime minister could
only have given, however, If he were
in possession of some intimation from
Premier Hepburn of Ontario that the
latter was prepared to execute volte-
face and cooperate in the scheme.
The belief is that Hon. Mr.. Hep
burn has given this intimation.
And recent developments in the duel
between himself and the Quebec
power barons" lend color to the
supposition. When the Ontario pre-
mier carried through. his now famous
reputation of contracts with private
power interests calling for some 800,-
600 horsepower, he did so to the tenn
of the farmers on the back conces-
sions, who rather relished the rare
spectacle of the "big interests" Of
Montreal being clubbed. Since that
time, however. Premier Hepburn has
weakened his case by recontracting
for approximately half of the Cancelled
horsepower. The new contracts,
moreover, are only for q 10-year
period, which is regarded by many
Ontario citizens as altogether too
short a term for which to have pro-
vided for the provinces future devel-
opment.
Power Shortage Feared.
On top of this situation, the threat
of a power shortage is now seriously
raising its head as Ontario emerges
from the past five years of acute de-
preston The result Is that, far
from being his political lace" Hon.
Mr.. Hepburn's power policy is now
looking dangerously like the rock on
which his administration may foun-
der. Added embarrassment to the
provincial ministrys plight has been
contributed within the past 10 days
by the demand from the powerful
Globe and Mail and Toronto Star,
previously regarded as an out-and-
out Hepburn supporter. that the On
tario premier renegotiate the Cancelled
Quebec contracts to protect Ontario's
good name" and to preserve the prov
ince's potential expansion against the
disaster of q power shortage.
Hon. Mr.. Hepburn, however, is Moth
ing if not q fighter, and while he
has expressed a grudging willingness
to talk things over" with the Quebec
power interests If they come to him,
the general belief in informed quar-
ters Is that, rather than capitulate to
these power barons" whom he has
fought for two years with such dema-
gogic effect he has intimated to the
Federal Government that he will not
press his objections to the st. Law
renee power scheme. From that
scheme Ontario would derive from
1000. 900 to 1,43o.o0 horsepower. the
latter figure conditional upon the
Osoki diversion being undertaken.

Manners
of the
Moment

THE home in which one person
wakes up sour and the other
wakes UP full of sweetness and light
is the home to stay away from until
noon. Morning, in a home Of this
type, Is just no fun for any one.
BY the time the coffee is ready the
CHEEKY one is glum-by contamination.
And the glum one is cheered-by
coffee. And from then on their moods
alternate, 50 that you really can't
catch both OF them cheerful at the
same time until well along In the
afternoon.
No doubt, If you are a member Of
such a team, you have grown fatal
istic by now, and our little aids to q
happy life won't do you much good.
But still, being more or less of a sour
getter- upper, we know one remedy.
And that is for the CHEEKY person to
keep his mouth shut until after the
coffee. Or at least, II he must sing,
he might at least sing something dole
full, instead of all those Spring songs
And also we might suggest, out of
our own hard-fought experience, that
II the sour one can refrain from bark
ing at any one for about half an hour
after she chambers out of bed, she may
find herself capable of smiling.
At least it's worth trying, for those
long mornings of alternating moods
are Just q sheer waste OF time.

HAVE received a questlonnalre IN
which I am asked to state my
views on why one marriage out of
a every six ends in divorce in this
country. and to suggest remedy for
it, If any.
No one knows the answer to those
questions, but in my humble opinion
the reason that wrecked marriages
have become as common as wrecked
automobiles is because divorce has be-
come fashionable. Everybody is doing
it. In New York. in Palm Beach, in
Hollywood, in Bird Center and Rabbit
Track 1t is the smart thing to match
your mate with your mood or your
current fortunes and positions in So
ciety. Swapping partners has become
the great national pastime.
Men and women collect DEGREES ab-
solute as they do japanese prints or
stamps. It has become almost as
much an indication Of lack OF enter
prise for people to stay married to
the same husbands and wives as If
they drove their old cars year after
year. instead of trading them in every
season for the newest model, with
fresh paint and all the latest gadgets
When all is said, Mrs. Grundy is
the real arbiter of our manners and
our morals. In the days when break
ing the marriage vow was q scandal
that nobody ever lived long enough
to live down, and when women looked
down their noses at q divorce and
poor Maryed" her. the nlismated bore
whatever matrimonial ills they had
rather than brave public scorn and
contumely.
Human nature being what it IS,
and especially the natures Of husbands
and wives having never changed since
the beginning Of time, nobody will
contend that marriages were happier
in the past than they are in the pres
ent. Grandpa was just as much given
to philandering and was just as can
tankerous and took as much managing
to get along with as does grandson.
Grandma was just as nagging and
high-tempered and as poor a cook as
granddaughter is. But grandpa and
grandma stood each Other because in
their day divorce was one of the
things that simply wasn't done, ex-
cept under extreme provocation, while
their grandchildren think no more Of
getting rid OF a husband or wife for
whom they have lost their taste than
they do Of an old hat or shoes Of
which they have tired.

cacy with which the average

centers Of the United States for some

which must be given to their storage

merchant In smaller towns

Give Girl the Choice
of Sapphire Ring Now
or a Diamond Later.
BY EMILY POST.

| nEAR MRS. POST: My son cannot
afford to buy a diamond engage
| ment ring-unless one with micro
scopic stone. Unfortunately I have no
| diamonds to give him. 1 have suggested
| that he wait until later-even possibly
until after they are married-because
I have known plenty of people who
| became engaged without any ring.
However, can't help but agree with
him that it would be sore disappoint-
ment to any girl not to have a ring at
| the time her engagement is announced
and consequently have suggested that
he have beautiful sapphire, which I
am only too willing to give up, reset
with a few small diamonds. Which
| plan do you think better?
Answer-1n my opinion a sapphire
set with diamonds would make lovely
engagement ring, and one that Is alsc
| In the height of fashion. But since
neither my opinion nor that OF others
who love sapphires may be shared by
his fiancee, in all fairness to her he
should let her choose between the
sapphire now or a diamond later.
YEAR MRS POST: Two weeks ago
I became engaged and yesterday
heard Of girl who also got her ring
and on this occasion gave her fiance
present. I must admit that am
bit uncomfortable about this, since
had not realized that it was customary
to give the man a present. II you
suggest giving him something, what?
And is it too late now?
AnsWer-It is not customary that a
girl give her fiance an "engagement
present. ever. And it is not obligatory
or even customary that she give him a
wedding present. But if she can afford
1T, and would like to give him present
after they are engaged. there is no i'm
proprlety in her giving him whatever
she would like to. A ring is the most
typical present because it is the thing

Dorothy Dix Says
Marriages Fail to Endure Because the
Divorce Laws Are Too Easy.

Another reason why divorce is 50
common is because every 10y ticket"
as some people call marriage license,
has virtually a return coupon attached
to it. Marriage is no longer an until
death-d do-us-part contract 1t is an
experiment. 1t is one of the things on
which the adventurous are willing to
take a sporting chance and try once,
anyway.
The young who marry nowadays
seldom have any intention whatever
Of sticking to it unless they like it. IT
all their rosy dreams come true, fine
and dandy. But if it calls for too many
sacrifices, too much self-denial, too
much work and worry. we'll, they feel
they don't have to stand It, There is q
quick way out via Reno. Call it a day,
and try, try again. Maybe better luck
next time.
How to cope with the divorce evil,
nobody knows, but it would help a lot
if society would turn a cold shoulder
on the woman who had as many living
husbands as she has bangled bracelets,
and on the middle-aged man who has
traded off his faithful old wife for a
f1apper to match his new furniture It
would save the wreck of many young
lives if marriage licenses were made to
cost as much as dog licenses, and if the
justices Of the peace who marry drunks
and school children were pitched into
boiling oil. But, after all, the only way
you can stop people from getting
divorces is to keep them from wanting
them.
So in the end think that the only
real cure for divorce is homemade
remedy. It consists in mothers and
fathers rearing their children to make
the sort Of husbands and wives who
will be matrimonial prizes with which
no one will want to part. If every
mother brought up her daughter to be
the kind of wife that she prays God
to send her son, and II every father
taught his son to treat his wife the way
he hopes her husband will treat his
own daughter, there would be mighty
few divorces.
It is the spoiled children whose
parents have untitled them for mar
riage who furnish most Of the grist
~ the divorce mill.

WE DO start them young these days,
w right on the road to beauty. In
fact, the lucky ones are born to beauty.
Not necessarily born beautiful, mind
you. but born to beauty. Born to the
bath, too, no wonder we're such a
clean, clean race.
Maybe mother doesn't even start
out with the idea of starting her on
the way to loveliness. She's so pre-
occupied with bathing her. oiling her,
sterilizing her bottles, feeding her
according to formula and later ac-
cording to vitamins, she's so busy
exercising and stretching her, summing
her synthetically if Old Sol takes a
whim not to shine. She's so busy
doing all these things scientifically
that she little realizes that right there
she is beginning the makings OF a
beauty. For beauty is becoming more
and more the old Grecian standard of
physical perfection, with lot Of
modern glamour and dash thrown in
(but that comes later, much later
when she's going to college,.
Yes, the root of it all is health and
the baby Of today is bound to be the
beauty Of tomorrow because modern
mothers are such sticklers for health.
We have science on our side. True.
And we have wise men in our modern
medicos. But we're wise enough too
in that we follow the rules.
We love chubby checked babies, but
If they are flabby and fat the doctor
orders "cut down, cut down." So long
as baby IS healthy and happy and
her normal weight, so long as she's
active and gay and gurgling and so
long as mother is following instruc-
tions, she has the proper foundation.
The old pleasantly plump standard
(Which was actually fat, mind you)
has given way to a healthy, poised,
supple little body that is exercised at
two weeks and exercises itself before
1t is 2 years; it swims and 1t cycles, it
stretches and it skates, it romps and 1t
runs.
Modern mothers don't stop at merely
cleansing, exercising and nourishing
the little body. They actually help
