Answer:
No, but the use Of Venetian blinds
In the kitchen, now that they are
made With shiny, easily washed Stats,
has become 20 popular that many
people feel 1t is unnecessary to use
curtains. Venetian blinds have OBJ
vious advantages from the stand
point Of cleanliness, but do feel
that In certain kitchens either crisp

Decline in Matrimony May Be Due
To Women Demanding Too Much

A young msn attributes the de-
cline and fall-n1 jn -matrtmnny ito
women demanding 30 much more Of
their husbands than they used to do

man to make good rs . husband

"matrimony was . job that any
amateur could tackle and get away

ing that short, fatal walk to the

doesn't know when she Is going to
fire him because he doesn't come
up to her expectations.

who. fed his wife and didn't beat

And II, In addition, he treated her
with common politeness and paid
her . few compliments now and
then, he was regarded as q museum
specimen Of the genus husbanditis
and cast in the teeth Of all the
married men for miles around.
But Is the modern woman sat-

FACT No. Is:
On Oct. 81 two important events
occurred. Mussolini shook up his
cabinet In such way as to leave
little doubt that he did not intend

Importance Of the speech must be

mist party newspaper Pravda ac-
cused Finland of preparing war
against Russia and announced the
Soviet intention of crushing all

whether that meant warfare be-
