Eagles 1914. Babe Wilson pulled

SUPREME COURT
VACANCY LIKELY
TO co TO WEST
Roosevelt Seeks Justice
Familiar With Area
BY EARL GOODWIN

President Roosevelt will choose
a man from the Far West or
Rocky Mountain region to sue
ceedd Associate Justice Suther.
land, who will retire from the
Supreme Court January 18, &C.
cording to White House ohserv-
ers who have followed the Pres.
1dent closely on judicial matters.
The reason given is that the
President wants to select an as
sociate justice from the area of
the largest population unrepre-
sented on the bench.
BLACK SELECTION CITED
It was that line Of reasoning
which was used partly in the Sc.
lection of Associate Justice Hugo
Black. The South was not rep
resented on the bench. Now that
Justice Black is on the h g h
bench, it is considered unlikely
that the President will select a
Southerner.
This line of reasoning elm
mates Representative Hatton w.
Summers, Texan, and chairman OF
the Judiciary Committee of the
House, although Representative
Summers friends and associates
are strong in their suggestion to
the President that he is one OF
the best men in the country for
the post.
At the time the President
selected Justice Black, the Deep
South was the only section not
represented on the Supreme Court.
It was practically assured from
the start that the President would
not select a man from New York
or the so-called industrial East,
because there were already three
New Yorkers on the Court-Chief
Justice Hughes, and Associate JUS
tices Stone and Cardozo. New
England has Associate Justic e
Brandeis, Pennsylvania's Associate
Justice Butler added one more
fastener and the near South had
Associate Justice McReynolds
from Kentucky.
FAR WEST INDICATED
The only Far Westerner on the
bench was Justice Vandevanter,
credited to Wyoming. When he
retired the only Westerner was
Justice Sutherland, who is now
about to retire.
Justice Sutherland served Utah
In the State legislature, in Con.
gress and in the United States
Senate; his assignment on the
Court is to the Ninth judicial cir.
cult which comprises the Far West
California, oregon, Nevada,
Montana, Washin g t n, Idaho,
Alaska and Hawaii. When he re-
tires the West will be wide open
for an appointment-and it is be-
lieved the President will look in
that direction.
A reason for such an appoint
ment, aside from the geographic
reasons, is that from the West
come law cases involving expert
ences not gained in other sections.
Grazing land cases, mining cases,
and similar matters arising out OF
, Western activities are said to make
it necessary to have on the highest
court a man who has had expert
ence in such matters.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Jan. 10.
It's getting to be a women'S

The public health department
said they live an average of four
years longer than men and appear
to be gaining more rapidly than
males in prospects for longevity.
Life expectancy at birth in the
State is about 60.4 years for males
and 64.6 for females, compared
with $50 for males and 57.8 for
females in 1920. Thus the gain for
males was only So years, COM
pared with 6.8 for females.
The death rate in Illinois last
year was 1871 per 1000 among

His Wife Is Not
Affectionate Enough
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
For the past % years I've
been married to a wonderful
woman, and we have three chill
dren. She is perfect in every
way-a good mother and very
pretty. She is also q university
woman. She would rather be
with the children than go any
where else, but she doesn't seem
to be at all affectionate when
it comes to me. would give
her 10 times more of my affec-
ton, if she would come only
half way, or if knew whether
she wanted me to be demonstra-
tive or not. I crave attention,
and know some women who
do, too, but I'd rather have it
from my wife.
My wife never wants to go
anywhere without me, and she
seems to be satisfied with things
as they are. ROBERT.
Some women just aren't de-
monstrative, though they care
as deeply as those who show
their feelings more openly. If
your wife never goes anywhere
without you, and is a good wife
and mother, and has been for
more than 20 years, what more
do you want? And please dom
consider for a moment those
more demonStrative ladies whom
you hint you know. Let well

ulations on having found sucn

Advice
to
IOvelOrn
By Beatrice Fairfax

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ -Four months ago my
son, age 90, married, but he
doesn't love his wife. Not
long ago he met a little
blonde, who knows that he is
married, but wants him to
get a divorce and even offers
to pay for it. She is work.
ing, and so is my sons wife.
But my son has been out of
work for a long, long time.
He told his wife, before he
married her, that he couldn't
support her. She does not live
with him as his wife, but comes
to see him and cleans his apart
ment. She seems to love him
dearly. He told me he couldn't
stand her, and is always think
ing of the blonde.
My son seems worried and
nervous, and am worried, too,
on account of these complica-
tionS. l think his wife is better
woman than the blonde, who
spends lots of money on clothes
and makes up a great deal. I'm
at my wits end with all of them.
M. M. E.
With a working wife and a
working sweetheart who wants
the wife to divorce him and is
willing to pay for it, it looks to
me as if your son is of the type
that believes in letting women
support him. l don't think one
can do very much with a man
OF this sort, because he lacks
the character to earn his own
bread if some woman will do it
for him.
If he lets the blonde treat
him to a divorce, she'll probably
soon tire of her bargain. That
son OF yours must have a way
with women.
