ALL THE DIFFERENCE

"Do you think there is any truth
in the theory that big creatures are
Differentiated than small ones?"
asked the intellectual young woman.
"Surely!" returned the young
man addressed. "Just look at the
difference between the Jersey mos
quito and the Jersey cow!"

TOM: 1t would be a happy expe-
= rience for me if I could hand
out recipe to people like you
whose lives have become complete
~ tangled up with a series of mis-
takes if / could say comfortably /:
"DO this and that and you will sud-
denly find yourself divorced from
the wrong girl and married to the
right one" Over and over again
these piteOus stories come in-of
misunderstanding and lack of faith
which led to hopeless marriages.
And then of reconciliation and love
too late. And then the eternal cry:
"What shall 1 do? How shall I get
out Of my marriage which has last
ed IA years and resulted in several
children, SO that I can marry the
girl I've always wanted?"
Believe me, we always have
to come back to the same old
theme song, however dreary the
sound of it: that unless two people
married to the wrong mates, can
break away clearly, secure divorce
and start life over again, there is no
happiness nor any hope for the love
they bear each other.
Men and women undertake more
than just living with each other,
when they marry. They uncon-
sciously sign a contract which is
far more binding than it looks when
you read the divorce statistics. They
form associations and habits togeth-
er-they are bound by million in
Intestinal ties, even though they
have never loved each other truly
and when the time comes for
great break, it isn't only the chill
dren who stand in the way of the
divorce. It's their deep unconscious
dependence on each other-their I'M
willingness to break up a married
life which has become almost an
institution to them.
AHd so, euen sohen they're blinded BY
Q great Iope and dGzzIed by radiant
hope OF happiness they stand back, fear
full 10 make the great break; and too
tCeak 20 giUe up the neso hope OF happi-
ness. Apd the result Of that is miserable
uncertainty for fs00 lovers and the utter
decentralization Of TOO households.
Since affairs Of this kind don't
stand still, Tom, I should advise you
to take some step yourself. Your
infatuation and hers has reached a
pitch where very little will be hid
den from the world in few weeks.
You must be strong in one direc-s
ton or the other. You must give
up this dream of new life, or else
you must give up entirely the old
established orderof things-prepare
to do without the life which has
meant responsibility and compare
tive contentment for so long. Fl p
Once before you made up your
mind to be brave and put memories
behind you. That was when YOU
married the wrong girl. Now you
can be strong again and put away
your hopes and dreams forever.
That wrong girl you married has
made an excellent wife insofar as,
she was capable, and perhaps you
can find with her some semblance
Of happiness Il you win cut aout Of
your Life the possibility of another
great romance.

Happiness Depends on
4 Honesty in Marriage,
4 Writer Advises.

DEAR DORIS DENE: am
~ twenty-nine years old and am
In love with girl who is more in
telligent than I am in many ways.
She is very sensitive and / respect
her and love her deeply. We have
known each other for three years
and I have often been unfaithful to
her. She now wants to know the
truth and 1 am afraid to tell her
since I think I may lose her. She
is absolutely 0bsessed with the idea
Of fidelity and something has put a
suspicion into her mind. don't
know how to handle the situation
and want above everything else mot
to lose herr. H. M.
!, ANSWER-If the girl is sensitive
and imaginative, the odds are
against her being kept in complete
ignorance as to the wild oats you
have sown. She will meet friends
of yours who may be in a remini-
scent mood, and if you've deceived
her with some artistic lying, the
shock may be greater to her nerv-
GUS system than you have any idea
of. Even in this day and age there
ARE women who are idealists about
love. They won't accept half-meas-
,ures. They won't believe half-truths.
They carry around with them a glo-
::rious vision of perfect love and the
breath of suspicion corrodes their
happiness and skaters their dream.
There are dozens of times ,chen the
truth is far better left unsaid iOhen a
calm acceptance of the facts of life is in
order and toten deception is kinder than
cruel fact.
But il a tUoman is so constituted that
kn0t0Ledge of her future husbands inf
deIifies is absolutely necessary to her
happiness-it is 4Ciser to take no chances
about reading her book Of pretty ,Ohite
lies.
For the type of love which is built
on dream-and which asks abso-
lutte perfection of that dream may
be insubstantial-may depend en-
tirely for its maintenance on COM
Iplete truth and understanding.
Therefore, disillusionment to this
kind Of love means not only misery
and suffering but an actual depar-
tare of the grande passion.
And so, r. H. NJ, if your lady de-
,mands the whole sad story, give it
to her now. Let her know the truth
before you've both crossed bridge
it's difficult to recross. Since she
has insisted on this confession, you
have no real right to decide that
she'd much better be lied to.

High School Subjects.

What is the high school? A course
preparing one for college or for life?
1t should be, in my opinion, place
where young people are taught to
understand the problems of every
day life; place where one meets
the problems of personal interest,
problems of the home and the national
and international problems. Probably
only small per cent of the class will
attend college; therefore, why teach
subjects which are of use only to a
few individuals? The students who
wish to go to college need to study
practical situations as well as any
one else, anyway.
Now then, what are practical sub
jects? We have discussed this very
frequently and yet never reached any
conclusions. l think most subjects
can be made practical. The main
trouble is the failure to adapt the
knowledge we obtain to practical
things. Everyone, I'm sure, will find
use in studying social science or eco
Monies. We can surely all make
great use of literature, be it modern
or classical. In science, there will
always be certain topics which are
impractical to some. Everyone will
not make use of Ohm's law, yet it
will most likely hurt none of us to
at least know it. This siX-weeks
period, a physics student can read
any book pertaining to science he
wishes. l think this gives everyone
chance to make physics an interest
ing subject; something that we our
selves will have use for.
l think the high schools will con-
tinue along a different line in the
future. l hope that some day all
schools will teach home economics,
more about nursing and the causes of
diseases as well as the treatment and
means of avoiding them. In small
school such as ours located in an
agricultural district, 1 think it would
be very desirable to teach agricul-
ture. To me, a high school educa-
ton will always be an advantage

Keeps Wolf From Door.

Jens Peter Bic, local school bus
driver, trucker and farmer, has a
knack of keeping the wolf from his
door, not only literally but figurative-
ly speaking. Early Sunday morning
while the family was preparing to
eat breakfast, one of the Bic chill
dren called daddy to come to the
window and see the wolf near the
barn. Mr. Bic doubtingly looked out
and 10 and behold the 'big bad ami
NAL" was there in life size nearly
as large as his dog. The wolf was
very gaunt but when Mr.. Bic went
outside he ran off into the woods.
Of course, after the incident Mr..
Bic stocked up with a double barrel
shotgun and will now be able to
defend his household against all
corners.
