CABELL COMMENTS
The Northwest Enterprise warn
ed its readers several weeks ago
about the Gin Marriage" bill that
was introduced and passed in the
State Legislature, and also warn
ed that the bill itself merits much
consideration, but that the real
danger lay in the fact that riders
might be attached to some bills.
That is what precisely happened.
The Marriage law approved by the
Senate provides for a three-day
period between the application and
issuance of a license to marry. I'm
animously passed by the Senate,
The bill. had several proposed am
endments which were successfully
defeated by the sponsors of the
bill.
Senator Earl Maxwell CD, King
County, speaking for the adoption
of the amendment, declared that
Washington was becoming "the
dumping ground" for interracial
marriages.
You should know just what to
when they ask for your political
support in the future.

Manners
of the
Moment

Have you ever noticed how some
men cannot seem to take anything
out of an icebox without taking
everything out? And how. usually.
such a man leaves all the things he
takes out right on the floor or on
the top of the icebox, where they
stand for hours to sour or melt?
If you have such a man in your
family, I would suggest that you
feed him sour cream for his break
fast coffee several mornings in sue
cession, explaining that some one
must have left the cream out Of the
icebox yesterday you can't i'm
agine who it could have been
but your household budget won't
stand for fresh cream.
This may sink in. or 1t may not.
If it doesn't, then perhaps you
should get paddock for the icebox
and carry the key yourself. The
man is probably incurable. And
the only way to handle him is to
forbid him ever to open the icebox.
Use the Bluebeard- technic on him
if you must. Scare him about the
skeletons in the icebox, and then
Faen him in the living room. JEAN.

One of the interesting problems
raised by the modern custom of a
girl continuing to be a wage-earner
after marriage Is the effect it has on
her husband and whether it is really
help or handicap to man to
have a self-supporting wife.
Of course, on the face of it. it
doesn't appear to be any problem at
all. It seems just wonderful that
Juliet can help finance loves young
dream by keeping on with her job,
and that they won't have to wait
for years and years until Romeo gets
a rise in salary before they can get
married. And. anyway, the starry
eyed little bride isn't going to work
but for year until they get a start,
can begin paying on home, have a
baby and everything will be perfectly
fine.
Sometimes it works out that way,
and sometimes 1t doesn't. 1t all de-
pends upon the kind Of man that
Romeo is. If he is strong, self-re-
specting, ambitious man, and par
ticularly If he is head over heels
in love with his wife. the sight Of
poor little Juliet standing on her
feet all day behind a counter. or
pounding a typewriter and then
coming home and cooking dinner,
doing woman's work in addition
to having done a mans. puts steel
in his sinews and fire in his heart
and makes him work like a fury in
order to be able to save her from the
hardships of such life.
But if a man Is slack, weak, self
indulgent and pleasure-loving, a
wife with a pay envelope Is utterly
demoralizing. When he finds out
that his wife can support him. he
lets her do it. And before she knows
it she is not only self-supporting, but
husband supporting.
If he works at all, he spends what
he earns on his own amusements,
but most of the time he is idle be-
| cause he becomes temperamental
and choosy about what he does, for
there is no driving force behind him
to make him exert himself when he
has a wife to provide him with a
home and three square meals day.
So he drifts into being the lowest
of all created things-a kept man.

Dorothy Dix Says
Whether Wife Continues Her Job
Depends Entirely on Husband

And poor Juliet's dream OF be-
ing able to give up her job and
spend her time pottering about in
a kitchen with an enameled stove,
gingham curtains and f1owerpots in
the window, vanishes into the limbo
OF what might have been If she had
not tried to help her husband.
Anyway, 1t is question whether
those strong capable. energetic wives
are help or hindrance.
Sometimes weak wife helps her
husband more than a strong one.
A clinging vine can support an oak
as well as pull it down. In the days
when our grandfathers supported
their wives there were not so many
men sitting around watching the
baseball scores as there are now.

AL pOA ouU w.
viously the Department of Agricul-
ture is not surprised at the situation,
only anxious to remedy it by offering
for sale a buying guide for hosiery.
This is one of the most helpful and
well-done pamphlets we've seen on
the subject, complete with illustra-
- tions and photographs.
When we go to purchase pair of
hose, the routine is apt to run like
this: Il want pair of hose, three
thread, size nine in some color to
wear with brown" All of which is
well and good. but hardly enough.
A stocking is made of no less than
nine separate and distinct parts,
each one of which has a definite
use and significance. Starting with
the welt, which is the hem or top,
one should make sure that it is
constructed to stand garter strain.
Below this is usually a garter-run
stop, narrow band of locked stitch
es below the welt designed to pre-
vent runs from going down into the
leg of the stocking. Then comes a
group of dropped stitches called
fashion marks. These shape the
hose at calf, heel and toe.
Next comes the boot or leg, and
then the seam, row of small stitch
es which closes stocking foot or leg.
That particular part of the heel
which is reinforced and shows above
the shoe line is called the high
splice.
All of which brings us to the foot
part of the hose, heel, sole and toe.
The lower heel reinforcement, often
strengthened on the under side by
cotton yarn in silk, wool or rayon
hose, Is called plating; the sole is
that portion of the stocking directly
under the instep, generally rein
forced or plated, and the toe is
strengthened by a heavier section
down the center. And there you

Boiling 1t Down
To Fundamentals.
In the last analysis every one will
admit the truth of the statement
that II the child had not been in
the street, he would not have been
hurt. OF course, here again is that
inevitable exception that proves the
rule-there are freak accidents
where cars mount sidewalks, out of
control, or truck that plows
through the front of store or
house. Yes-and airplanes do fall
through roofs, occasionally, too. and
trains have wrecks, and hurricanes
blow-but in all of these cases the
victims are powerless to save them
selves by any training or fore
thought. And right there lies the
nub of the children's traffic death
problem.
In the majority of cases. children
are killed or injured because I'm
quoting statistics AGAIN. % they
were crossing not at crosswalks-
jay walking to most of us; CD they
ran from between parked cars: 90
they were playing in the street.
Coasting, with sleds or wagons came
next in the list of causes; then BIZ
cycling. Least of all was the num-
ber of children injured or killed
by pulling away from a guardian
and crossing against the signal.
1t would appear to any one, think,
studying this group Of figures that
the three major reasons for chill
dren's deaths or injuries in traffic
were the direct result of lack of
training and enforcement of obe-
dience. Underneath the dry, rou-
tine statistics one seems to sense
the carelessness and Incidence of
all too many American parents of
the modern day. If they had taken
the trouble to explain fully to their
children the dangers of traffic, il
they had seen to it that their child
was trained to such obedience that
he could be depended upon. ever
when out of sight-also an appea.
to his common sense and his in
stinct of self-preservation should
have been interpolated here-the
grim total of broken young lives
and bodies would have been con-
siderably reduced.
