tenSive criticism of the NLRB and
one proposed Wagner Act amend

NLRB regulations to achieve that

act by amendment.
Madden agreed with a statement
of Rep. Albert Thomas, D.. Texas,
that such regulation might ELI

the kind things being said about
the Wagner act and the board"
II think it would have that eff

the slightest doubt that the board

direction.

He explained that the board be-

Never Before

With all Americans agreed that
they want to keep out of war, an
intelligent opposition party is needed
in this country now as never before,
Miss Marion E. Martin. assistant
chairman of the. Republican Ma
tional Committee, said yesterday
before a Statewide meeting of the
Republican Women's Federation of
Michigan at Lakeside, Mich.
by no means should we oppose
just for the sake of opposition" Miss
Martin declared I'VE should not
allow partisan politics to becloud
clear vision; but neither should we
let patriotism be used as an excuse
for following sheeplike in domestic
and foreign affairs
Miss Martin also warned against
using war as an excuse to hide do
mestic problems.
Where the war will alleviate
some of our problems by removing
surpluses which are clogging our
markets and creating a demand for
goods, We must not be lulled into
feeling that all our domestic difficult
ties are at an end she said. Just
as some problems are removed, 9TH
ers are created, and altruistic and
consecrated service is demanded to
anticipate and solve them

Dear Miss Dix: I am a boy of
20, in love with wonderful girl
of 19. We are engaged, but with no
prospect of marrying for long time,
and she has got to going with other
boys. I love her and she still says
she loves me, but she wants me
to 60 with other girls just as she
goes with other boys. I won't do
that because I don't think it is
treating her right. What do you
think about it? A. E. S.
Answer-I think the girl is in the
right and that you will be wise to
follow her example and go around
with other girls Because that
would give both of you chance
to compare each other with other
boys and girls, to determine if you
have made the right choice and
really prefer each other to any one
else.
feel very sure that the custom
of keeping company" in which a
boy and girl pair off-often in the
schoolroom, and go together to
the exclusion of every one else until
they are forced into marriage by
habits responsible for the great
number of discontented and un-
faithful husbands and wives and
the increase in divorce.
This pernicious practice keeps the
youngsters from ever getting &C
quainted with any other girls and
boys, or of having the privilege
of really choosing their mates. They
are bound hand and foot to those
they wished on themselves as chill
dren and really haven't any idea of
how many glamorous people there
are outside of their little hide-bound
circle.
Hence come the tragedies that
occur when married man, who
has thought all women as little
minded and nagging and tiresome as
the girl he kept company" with
in his adolescence, meets in his ma
turity the brilliant, entertaining,
sympathetic woman with whom he
falls madly in love. And when a
woman, married to the common
place, dull boy whom she went with
all through her girlhood, finds the
man, when it is too late, who is
her hearts desire. When you go
into a store you don't buy the
first article you see whether it fires
your fancy or not, or whether it
is what you really want or not. You
look around and see what is in
stock before you make your selec-
ton. If the same tactics were ap-
piled to picking out husbands and
wives it would do more than any
other one thing to promote domestic
happiness.
For this reason every girl and
boy should try to know as many
other girls and boys as they pos
sibly can before they make their
final choice. They should shop
around and give them all the once
over. And If this should cause a lot
