REQUISITES FOR A
HAPPY MARRIAGE.

What, exactly, makes a happy mar
rlage? DR.. Lewis M. Terman, world
famous psychologist of Stanford Uni
versity, has just published book,
Psychological Factors in Martial Hap
pineSs," the results of his research in
this field. He says that the first and
foremost requisites of successful mar
riage are character, personality and a
background of happy home life during
childhood.
According to Dr. Terman, to attain
lasting life partnerships, husbands and
wives must both strive to overcome
their personality handicaps and they
must both, in all phases of their lives
together, be considerate of each other.
Couples who are well-mated are likely
to show a surprising tolerance for the
things that are not satisfactory in their
relationship, but those who are i'll
mated show no such tolerance.

Natives Dive for Sponges

In some parts of the world,
sponges are obtained in way that
was known to the Phoenicians. Hold
ing heavy stone tied to a rope,
natives dive to the sea bed, where
they gather into a bag as many
sponges as they can before releas-
ing their ballast" and letting
themselves rise to the surface.
Some experts have been known to
stay under for four minutes. A
freshly gathered sponge resembles
nothing so much as a piece of raw
meat. Some days after collection,
the flesh decays, and after washing
the sponge is ready for market.
