CORRESPONDENT asks VIII,

CORRESPONDENT asks why
n second marriages, as a rule,
~ turn out better than first
4 marriages. and why so many
men and women who couldn't get
along with their first wives and hus-
bands live in peace and harmony with
| their second.
This is easily explained First mar
riages are almost invariably founded
on romance. which is f1imsy thing
on which to build ones castle of hap
piness, and it is likely to give way and
collapse when the storms of life beat
upon it. But second marriages are
generally founded on rock bottom
| Judgment and common sense, and that
stands lot of punishment. The in
experienced boy and girl use only their
eyes and their hearts in picking out
their mates. The experienced man
and woman use their heads as we'll as
their hearts in choosing their wives
and husbands and they are less in
fluenced by appearance than they are
by suitability.
OF course, this isn't always the case
Now and then we see a middle-aged
widower with house full Of children
marrying a flspper. Or we see widow
old enough to know better marching
to the altar with a gigolo who wants to
get his hand on her husbands insur-
ance. But. for the most part, expe-
rience counts in marriage as in every
thing else and peoples second choices
of life partners are better than theil
first.
ANOTHER factor in favor of the
second marriage is that the ele-
ment of growth Is eliminated A very
large percentage of the unhappiness Of
marriage is unavoidable because it il
the result of the development OF
character in human beings. When 9
boy and girl marry they may be per.
fectly suited to each other, perfectly
congenial, they may have the same
tastes, habits and points of view.
But one of them has more intelli.
gence than the other, finer nature, Z
deeper soul, and in little while ther,
Is a cleavage between them. On.
goes on. The other stays put No.
body is to blame unless it is Mothe
Nature. Then they come to the plac,
where they haven't thought or al
idea or an aspiration in common, wher,
they got on each others nerves ane
bore each other to extinction.
This tragedy seldom happens In ,
second marriage, because before a maj
and woman pick out their No. 2 wive
and husbands they are mature. The,
are what they are going to be. Thei
habits and tastes and ideals are lxet
and they know what they want in thei
mates.
Another reason why second mar
triages are generally successful is be
cause the high contracting parties d,
not take marriage as seriously as the,
did their first marriages. They do no
make mountains out of mole hills q
they did before. They laugh thing

Nor does any woman who is mar

night preparing scathing lecture
with which to meet him when her
husband telephones that he has to stay
downtown on business She goes to
sleep and pretends not to hear when
he comes in Nor does any former
v!dow borrow trouble by worrying over
her husband having ceased to love her
because he doesn't tell her every day
how beautiful and wonderful she Is
and how much he adores her. She
knows that the only safe marriages
are those in which husbands and wives
take each other for granted.
SECoND marriages have the advan-
~ tage over first marriages that the
professional always has over the ANA
teur. No matter how much III love a
young couple are, no matter how hard
they try to make their marriage
success, they are bound to bungle the
Job more or less. because 1t is some-
thing they have never tried before and
they lack skill and craftsmanship in
handling it. They lack technique in
dealing with each other.
This the widow and the widower
possess. AS Kiplings amorous hero

he had loved, And learned about
women from her" The dullest man
in the world, the stupidest woman in
the world cannot have gone through
the experience of marriage without
le arning something Of masculine and
famine psychology that helps them to
make their second marriages success
| full. No man can have been married
without having learned how to stroke
woman's fur the right way and
make her purr under his hand.
Nor can any woman have been mar
ried without having found out how to
manage a man and get what she
| wants out of him without fighting
Nor can any couple have been married
without having found out that the way
to keep out of the divorce court is to
take marriage "as is" and not to ex-
pect too much Of it.
Finally, second marriages are so
often happy and second husbands and
wives are 50 much better and more
considerate, generous and tender to
their second mates than they were to
their first because of remorse. Not
many men and women can look down
upon the faces Of their dead wives and
husbands without remembering the
many things they could have done to
make them happier, and it is this debt
Of conscience that they try to repay to
the women and men they marry.
u These are some Of the reasons that
make widows and widowers such good
matrimonial bets

Dr. Draper said the Public Health
Service no doubt would make use Of
these budget studies, as 1t wouldnt t
be necessary to duplicate work al

If the Commissioners wish, the sur
vey probably would make specific
recommendations as to the financial
needs OF the health departments and
hospitals generally to improve condi-
tions and facilities Of medical service.
Such recommendations naturally
would have to be submitted to Con-
gress, but with the support Of Public
Health Service back Of them, based
on q close and disinterested report Of
conditions as they actually exist, it
was believed Congress would pay heed
to the situation.

world levels, resulting in a reduction
in export outlets.
He suggested that income received
by cotton and wheat growers from
crops sold at world prices be supple
mented by subsidies raised by process
ing taxes.
Mr.. Wallace estimated the program
authorized by the Senate bill might
entail Federal expenditures of from
$l00 0,000,00 to more than $500 00o,-
900 above the $500, 900 900 now au-
thorized annually for the soil con-
servation program.
As the House completed three days
of general debate on its farm bill and
the time arrived to discuss amend.
ments, these changes were proposed:
BY Representative Boileau, Progress
sive, of Wisconsin, to prevent undue
diversion of land to dairy feed crops;
by Representative Coffee, Democrat, of
Nebraska, to substitute marketing
quotas for compulsory control of corn
and wheat marketing; Representative
Lucas, Democrat. of Illinois, to lower
the level of corn supplies at which
marketing quotas would be imposed,
and by the committee, to make
farmers referenda on compulsory
control secret.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican. Of
Michigan, said Secretary Wallace s
letter on the Senate farm bill has
performed a public service by demon
strating to every one that the bill is
not workable"
If the doctors can't agree" he said,
they ought to at least protect the
patient until they can agree.

bill is jigsaw puzzle that not even
its own authors can put together"

t(COntlnueQ from FIRST Pa8e,)
Committee for Cooperative Medical
Service for Federal Employees has
stepped into the turbulent situation
here over medical practice The COM
mittee some time ago came stoutly
TO the defense of G. H. A. in a letter
sent to DR.. Thomas E. Neill, president
of the Medical Society of the District
OF Columbia. 1t did not indicate, how
ever, at that time it was planning a
clinic or association of its own.
Group Health Association, accord
ing TO its charter, is set up on broad
basis. which eventually would enable
it to take into membership Govern
ment people in all departments or
establishments in the District and
vicinity. 1t now has about 900 men,
bers. 1t is this possible scope Of the
organization which aroused the Blu
reau of Legal Medicine and Legisla-
tion of the American Medical Asso-
citation. In special report the bureau
pointed out the competition such an
extensive clinic would raise against
private practice.
The probable results on the medi-
cal profession Of the successful opera
ton in the District of Columbia and
vicinity even of single organization
such as Group Health Association
cannot be estimated" declared the
bureau. Pointing out that G. H. A.
alone might conceivably draw into
membership total of 347,736 persons,
out Of a total population Of 486.869,
withdrawing them from the ordinary
practice of medicine" the bureau esti-
mates that the withdrawal of even
one-half that number of persons. all
of whom are able to pay for medical
services, will materially disturb med
ical practice in the District of Column
bia and react against public interest. ="
The report was approved by the Dis
trict Medical Society," and sent to
enforcement officials here.

calling for wholesale slashes in road
funds is, to say the least, ill-advised.
+ This proposal comes at a time
