when the infatuation is over, blandly
forget and forgive and 90 on as if
nothing had happened? Where is
my dignity, where is that future
toward which all women want to
build, future of security and peace,
with children growing up, and gar
den, home, friendships, trips, vaca-
tons all shared with a real COM
panion? And is it my fault that Dan
has no desire to plan for such a flu
ture, but pays me attention only
when he is not interested in some
one else? -
A Five Year Plan.
my own idea is that all mar
riages ought automatically to be
cancelled at about five years, at
which time the man and woman
should be forced to live apart for
six months or so, to see how each
feels about resuming the relation
ship. It is frightful to feel that the
step you took confidently in girlhood
is holding you in prison for life"
That Is only part of the letter, but
sufficient to show that Mary is one
of the great class of wives who feel
childish despair upon discovering
that husbands are just human be-
ings after all, selfish and stupid and
subject to fattery and apt to get
bored with home ties of wife, chill
dren, familiar dinner table, domes-
tic routine.
Stigma of Divorce Removed.
Truly today's husband is a little
more trying along these lines than
his father was, because of social
changes in the last so years. With
divorce so common an escape, mar
riage has indeed come to be some
thing of what Mary hints, at least to
those whose religious scruples do
not prohibit divorce. Many a
marriage breaks up in it's fourth,
or fifth, or seventh year, and many
state laws insist upon a period
during which the couple, who seek
divorce, may have a chance to think
things over in cool blood. Fifty
years ago husband had to stand
by his wife, and wife by her home
and children, for divorce carries a
bitter stigma, and few women could
become self-supporting. These re-
strictions are swept away now, an
enormous percentage of the names
in the Social Register are those of
divorced men and women, and what
the Social Register does the less
prominent circles think it right to do.
So that the 6irtatious detached
woman your husband meets in his
business may well feel that she il
free to win him and hold him.
Cure Same Today as Yesterday.
There were abuses and difficult
ties and domestic martyrs in the
OLD days, of course. But also there
was stability, there was security.
and both those things are very valu-
able. The disappointed wife turned
her spurned affections to other
Things, she grew all the stronger
and more self-reliant as she aban-
doned the futile chase toward "hap-
piness," and learned to make other
people happy instead of herself.
And even today in her home and
garden and kitchen, with her books,
pets, children, friendships, with the
letter-writing that was so remark
able feature of q woman's life q
hundred years ago, and today with
movies, motor trips, radio, with all
the worlds best music boxed for
her convenience and with small
neighbors needing mothering, any
woman can form for herself q life
OF beauty and use and content, in
side Of the jail that she calls mar
riage, more easily than outside II.

CANADIAN PILOTS

One matter discussed by the joint
u. S.-Canadian defense board at
its first meeting in Ottawa was the
training of Canadian pilots in the
United States this winter.
Canada's severe weather makes
winter training extremely difficult
for aviators. AS one Canadian board
member expressed it, Your worst
weather conditions are better than
our best" Also, Canada is serious
ly handicapped by lack of train
ing planes and instructors.
The big pilot training program be-
ing conducted by the u. S. govern
ment has made it hard for Canada
to obtain trainer planes and instruc-
tors here.
So the Dominion is eager to set up
a large school somewhere in the
u. S. South or Southwest where
Canadian youths could receive fly
ing instruction this winter. II the
necessary facilities can be obtained,
Canada is ready to send 5000 men
south for training.
All the costs would be borne by
Canada The only thing desired by
Canada is the privilege of establish
ing the school on u. S. soil.
NOte-The u. S. army has trained
military flyers from South American
countries for several years, though
only in very small numbers.

COUGHLIN BACK AGAIN

Father Coughlin is quietly plan
ming to stick his oar into the presi-
dental campaign with new radio
series to begin around October u.s.
But he is having a lot of trouble
arranging contracts with stations.
Since the controversial nature of
his talks bars him from the big net
works, under the National Assbcia-
ton of Broadcasters' code, the only
course open for him is to buy time
on individual stations for purely po-
htical speeches. This the radio
priest is now trying to do.
But he is encountering lot of
GOODNESS among station owners.
They are at loss just how to clas-
sify his fulminations, since his po-
iitical support has been repudiated
by Wendell Willkie, and he already
is persona non grata with Roosevelt.
NOte-Coughlin plans to broadcast
bymeans of transcribed records over
the individual stations. This is much
cheaper than network broadcasting

rolling into his Golfers as it once did.

BRITAIN, u. s. WOO RUSSIA

BRITAIN, U. s. WOO RUSSIA
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Behind-t the
scenes talks are still continuing be-
tween the state department and Rus
sian Ambassador Oumansky with a
view to putting relations between
the two countries on a more even
keel, and perhaps evolving little
teamwork In regard to Japan. But
the talks aren't getting far.
simultaneously, Sir Stafford
Grips, British ambassador in Mos
COW, has been doing his best to win
the Russians over to the British
side. If Stain should mass his Red
army near the Hitler sphere of in
huence in the Balkans, it might slow
up the Nazi air attack upon England.
So Sir Stafford's negotiations in
Moscow are matter of life and
death. However, they aren't getting
far either. The Russians have been
letting Sir Stafford 60 out on the
leash just so far, then they bring
him up abruptly.
Just what goes on in the mind of
Stain, or Hitler either for that mat
ter, is like doping out what goes on
are certain signs that Hitler is fac
ing more and more toward the west
and may have given up his old de-
signs on the east-and Russia. There
are also signs that Stain believes
this to be true.
For instance, the settlement Of
Germans in the new German-seized
Poland has not been successful. The
Germans don't seemyto like moving
into Slav areas. Furthermore, the
Pan-German group seems to be
dominant in Berlin.
For years there have been two
schools of German thought in the
Berlin foreign office and the war
ministry, one believing that Ger
many's future lay in moving into
Russia, the other that it lay in DOM
mating western Europe. At present
the latter group seems to be influ-
encing Hitler.
Their plan is to create a peasant
state in France and the other Latin
countries of Spain and Italy In
France they have already removed
all of the machinery from northern
factories-lock, stock and barrel.
And it is significant that the part of
France which the Nazis left unoccu-
pied is largely agricultural; so that
it will be long time before France
ever is able to come back as an
industrial country.
Note-Betting inside the diplo-
matte corps is that Hitler will move
in on Russia when he gets ready,
even if he docs try to dominate west
ern Europe~fffst.
