~ his golden wedding Henry
a Ford made little speech in
a which he said that he and his
wife never had quarrel and that
they had always worked together,
with the same interests and ambi-
tions.
No better recipe for making mar
riage success has ever been given
than Mr.. Ford compressed in this one
brief phrase. 1t hits on every cylinder,
and it will stand the wear and tear
and hard usage of everyday living.
To begin with, it offers the one sure
cure for neurotic wives. 1t is work.
It is giving them plenty to do. 1t is
keeping them so busy that they don't
have time to psychoanalyze their emo
tions and find out that some slick
haired gigolo is their real soulmate in
stead Of the hard-working business
man to whom they are united, or to
shop around and see how many things
they want that they haven't got. 1t
is the women with nothing to do who
are dissatisfied, peevish, fretful and
complaining.
IT is the women with leisure in
which to contemplate their h1s-
bands faults and shortcomings and
how far they fall below their ideals
who fill the divorce courts. 1t is the
women with nothing to occupy their
minds, except search their systems
for symptoms, who enrich doctors and
fill the sanatoriums. 1t Is the wives
whose only occupation is killing time
who get into messy scandals. For
Satan still finds work for idle hands
to do. Especially when they are
women's hands.
Men have the idea that the way to
be kind to a woman is to keep her
pampered and idle. Every ever-loving
husband dreams of time when he
can provide his wife with so many
servants that she will have nothing to
do but to sit on silk cushion and sew
up seam and feed upon Strawberries,
sugar and cream, like the princess in
the fairy tale.
Never was there a greater mistake
The real way to make a wife happy
Is to give her so much to do and keep
her so on the jump that she won't
| have time to go out and borrow
trouble. The contented wives are the
| poor women with half a dozen chill
| dren to slave for, not the rich women
who are bored to death trying to
amuse themselves.
The next, and perhaps the vital point
| Of Mr.. Ford's philosophy of marriage,
calls attention to the value Of team
work. He and wife worked together.
They had the same interests and the
same ambitions. And that makes an
| unbeatable combination for both hap
| piness and success.
X y X
! A GREAT many fancy rules are
given for husbands and wives re-
tanning each others affection. They
are told tnat they must preserve their
romance. that they must keep them
selves glamorous. Phooey! 1t can't be
| done. The only real, reliable. never
fail way In which married couple
can keep their love alive is for them
to be absorbed in the same interests
Then they never weary of each other.
They never talk out. They never have
to wander away from home to find
some one who understands them and
speaks their language.
The great tragedy of American mar
riage is that so few husbands and wives
realize this. or make any attempt tc
cultivate any interest in the others
interest. The wife yawns when hel

ness hopes and plans. The husband

When lighting birthday cake

A complete report including Balti-
more City and the Counties show that,
during the year of 1887, five hundred
and ninety persons were killed by
automobiles, as compared with four
hundred and ninety-eight persons kill
ed during the year of 1886, an in
crease of 90 fatalities, or 10 per cent,
a costly price for the Citizens of this
State to pay. This figure is the high
est of any year since the records have
been recorded by this Department, an
all time record. Forty-eight percent
of the persons killed for the year of
1887 were pedestrians, twenty-nine
percent were passengers, one percent
were bicyclists, and twenty-five per-
cent were the operators themselves.
The tabulation by months for the
year of 1897 as compared with the

There were 1873 accidents in Balti-
more City resulting in 141 deaths,
while there were 4O8 accidents in the
Counties, resulting in 449 deaths.
There was no county in this State
that did not have one or more fatal
ties during the year of 1887. Balti-
more and Prince George County re-
spectively, head the list of most
deaths, with Kent County having the
least number. Most of these acct
dents resulting in fatalities involved
passenger cars with apparently no de-
fects, operated by white males, sober
during the hours of 5 P. M. to P.
M. and ages of 20 to 20, with five
years or more operating experience.
Most fatalities occurred during clear
weather, on straight, dry roads of
macadam construction, and mainly on
Sundays and Saturdays. Most of the
collisions between two or more We
hicles were head-on collisions. In a
majority of these cases, improper
driving is classed as operating too
fast for conditions. Most of the pc
destrian accidents involved persons in
apparently normal conditions, and
were struck crossing not at an inter-
section, in other words Gay Walk
ing"
According to the summary of the
662 operators involved in these fatali-
ties, 257 operators were exonerated
from all blame; "a operators were dis
missed, due to the fact that an in
quest was deemed unnecessary; So
operators were held for action of the
Grand Jury; and 10 so far have been
convicted of Manslaughter. Unfor-
tunately, 81 were Hit-and-Run cases,
and as the operators have not been
apprehended, there can be no suspen-
sion or revocation of their licenses.
