CHICAGO. Dec. 1.-THE in
crease in marriages since the draft
doesn't mean the boys want to es-
cape serving their country
Those are the words of Chicago's
famed Judge Joseph Sabbath, who
ought to know whereof he speaks.
Just beginning his 3lst year as
Judge of superior court, Cook coun-
ty, Judge Sabbath has heard more
than $1,000 divorce cases during his
long service, has effected more than
$500 reconciliationS.
THE boys are only Fastening their
marriages" Judge Sabbath explains
because they don't want to take
a chance on losing their sweet
hearts while they are in service.
They want someone to return to
when that service is over"
FAITH IN YOUTH
Looking back to the domestic re-
lations problems presented by the
last war, Judge Sabbath has this
to say about the marriages of then
and now:
THE story of the present draft
marriages, for the boys who do waive
exemption, will be different from
that of the last war. Recent legis-
lation in many states stipulates a
time of waiting between application
for license and the performance of
the marriage ceremony. Young peo-
pie today will have time to think
about it, and to recognize the re-
sponsibilities of marriage. Too often,
20 years ago, sorry-faced young folks

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. II. (UP)-
On Ventura Boulevard out past
Studio City is the headquarters OF
the Smiley Burnetue Enterprises,
inc. big business based on laughs.
Smiley, who functions as comic
relief in the Gene Autry COW operas
and who rates second only to Gene
himself as the most popular west
ern star, has the most surprising
collection of businesses in town.
All profitable, too.
He acts in seven movies a year.
Then he spends seven months out
of the IL on the road, making one
night stands in towns where live
actors seldom have been seen be-
fore.
He publishes a magazine, THE
Westerner," devoted largely to the
activities of Smiley Burnette, and
he sells by mail order two books
of songs, mostly composed by him.
self. He has a line of phonograph
records, as sung or played by him
on any of 50 different musical in
struments.
He sells a trick horn of his own
invention, special Smiley Burnette
stationery at 25 cents per pack
age, and Smiley Burnette pants.
These are covered with a couple
of dozen pockets, like Smiley's and
are mighty popular with the 10
year-olds. For dime anybody can
order Smiley Burnette pin for his
lapel.

Here's One Hollywood Cowboy Who
Keeps Plenty Irons in the Fire,
And Every One of En- Red Hot

A staff of clerks fills orders, keeps
index files of the thousands of
members of the Smiley Burnette
fan clubs. and sees that every let
ter to Smiley gets prompt and cor.
dial answer. Each member of each
of the LILO separate fan clubs is
pledged to see every Burnette pic
ture and write letter to good old
Smiley every month. The resultant
correspondence is something to give
the mail man the back ache.
All this pays-and pays-and
pays. It's an exceedingly profitable
business, though there is no doubt
Smiley gives the customers their
moneys worth.
only thing you gotta do is treat
the public right" Smiley said, "and
it takes good care of you."
He's been home only few days
from his latest tour. during which
he appeared in a different town
every day for II weeks. With him
went his wife, his daughter, and
a crew of six, in. two automobiles.
He played four shows day, in
cluding one at 4:30 p. m, for bene-
fit of youngsters just out of school.
He shook the hand of everybody
who asked, signed umteen thouS-
and autographs, and between shows
made a practice of hiding in his
dressing room, when he had a
dressing room.
Not that Smiley likes solitude
1t seemed that another western ac-
tor had made a similar tour a few
months previously and had made
the big mistake Of walking down
the streets of every town in full
cowboy regalia. So the folks looked
at him free and said, what's tfH
use of buying tickets? AS special
concession to the theater mana
gers, Smiley was on view only in
side the auditorium.
One night Smiley fell smack
Through the stage OF Wisconsin
theater, where a heavyweight ne
yer before had trod the boards. In
Texas once he was singing for all
he was worth when a couple of BAN
dts raced across the stage, with
Is cops in pursuit.
But I don't have much trou-
ble," he said. 1T used to be that
the kids would get too excited and
stop the show with their yelling.
But I learned how to fix that. I
always have a yelling contest now
and I keep those kids bowling for
about five minutes, or until they're
exhausted. Then go on with the
show
The show consists of music by
the whole company, plus western
wise cracks by Smiley. If the au-
dience likes his funny sayings, then
he gives, with all he's got If the
customers aren't enthusiastic, he
obliges with song and accordion
playing.
ITS a funny thing about ap-
plause," he said. Tn some towns
the youngsters are taught to ap-
plaud at school, They make fine
audiences, even after they grow up.
In other towns the schools make
the kids keep still-and they're
tough on comics"

Marriage Boom Called Result of
Love AIone:Chicago Judge Denies
American Youth Dodging Draft

, explained to me that theirs had been
war marriage--one of haste, under
stress of aroused emotions.
II have great faith in our Amer
ican young people of today. Those
boys who are married, and do enter
the service, are doing it for love
of their country. And in her sacri-
ficeS, the young woman is serving
her country well. don't think any
of the young men are trying to evade
the draft-if they are, then they
should be forced to serve, if it's a
matter of pure selfishness with
them
PROUD OF
RECONCILIATIONS
Judge Sabbath has noted that
recently there are fewer divorces
among young people. Perhaps it's
because the thought of forced, rath-
er than chosen, separation, because
of the possibilities of conscription,
is drawing young couples closer to-
gether.
Marriage and divorce" the judge
sadly shakes his head; 'it's a sorry
ending that Indifference and mis-
understandings bring to couples, es-
pecially when there are children.
I'm not proud of the divorces I've
granted" Then he smiles and says,
But 1 am proud of the $500 recon-
citations I've effected And I can
only hope and pray that out of the
bad of this troubled world will come
the good of couples being drawn
closer together in their need for
beauty and faith in the uncertain
years lust ahead"

 At the halfway post, Juneau led IT to 16 and at the end of the third quarter the fight was even at 21 points each.
 The game was fast all the way, but a bit ragged as too much speed took it's toll in bad passes and fum- bles.
 Scoring was as follows: For Pet ersburg Johnson g, Pederson 6, Wanberg 5, Thompson 4, and Nich- olson 3.
