And so, no matter how blustery

Wants First Husband Back.
81 have been terribly unfortunate
in my marriages" writes an Iowa
woman. my first was at II, my
Oldest girl being born before I
was ID. Her father was very young
and irresponsible, as everyone else
but myself seemed to know, and we
were Immediately divorced. Two
years later ! married a very fine
fellow, but five years afterward he
had the misfortune to be injured
in the head, and was placed in an
institution. Having then two little
girls to provide for, / married for
a home-a silly mistake, but / was
desperate. A son was born of this
marriage, but owing to actual in
juries inflicted on me by a
jealous, unreasonable husband he
was unable to develop like other
children and is a semi-invalid to
this day. Divorced two years later,
made comfortable home for my
self and my children but was obliged
to sue for my late husbands estate
for their support when my son was
five years old.
1T was then ! met my first hus-
band, who had gone away from our
town, put himself through medical
school by his own efforts, and OBJ
tanned a really fine position. My
youthful folly in insisting on a di-
Vorce cost me very dear, for the
old attraction is still strong in US

little sons. What / am writing to
ask you is whether / still have any
claim on him, as in some states our
divorce would not be considered
legal. If he were free l believe /

And she sends me sheaf of docu-

At 80, burdened with an invalid child
and two daughters, she would step

the happiness of his wife and sons,
and once more complicate her own
existence, this time beyond all

Patience-MutuaI Confidence Needed.
Seventeen is too young for mar
riage. But many a marriage begun
in the teens has proved q success,
nevertheless, and obviously this one
might have been. Patience and mu-
tual confidence and little help from
the grownups would have carried
Cal and Sally safely through. In
finite mischief and suffering would
have been averted, and possibly a
houseful of fine children would
have held both man and wife in
safety. AS it is, I'm not advising
Sally
For one thing, she wouldn't paw
the slightest attention to advice.
She must follow her willful and mis-
chievous path to the end. But I do
ask other wives TO look before thew
leap to the divorce courts; see what
you can do with the material in
hand before you involve yourself In
even more complicated troubles.

w me that after so many
w years of marriage -
three or ten or fifteen, she and
her husband have made the dis
NAL discovery that they have
absolutely nothing in common,
that they are beginning to jar
terribly on each others nerves,
that without wishing each other
any ill, they can no longer live
together in anything but con-
tinual repression, discomfort
and utter futility, then I know
that sheer he, or both of them
are exhibiting a lack of char
acter and common sense.
It is quite different when
serious matters are influence
ing either one. Intemperance,
cruelty, infidelity may be valid
grounds for the breaking up of
homes and the separation of chill
dren, although in the aforementioned
case / have always thought divorce
too high price to pay for tempo
rary weakness and vanity.
But when it is just a general less
ening of affection, glamour, COM
panionability, mutual satisfaction in
being together, it means that one
or the other has let go. Has stopped
the pleasantness that is friendship
in marriage, the eagerness to dis
cuss plans, the readiness to for
give trifiing mistakes, the old honey
moon anxiety to be generous and
considerable and loving.
Once these are lost, they are hard
to recapture. 1t can be done. But
the wiser way is never to lose them.
Husbands Position Parallels Child's.
That husband is in much the
child's position is a simple truth
that many wives fail to grasp. Cold
ness, sharpness of voice, scolding,
indifference, patting the feelings or
the comfort of other persons first
her family, her old friends, herself
begins the trouble. Then when his
affections wander, and when she
suddenly senses that she no longer
comes first with him, it avails heI
very little to reproach him, to ask
pathetically how she has failed him

troops to menace Russia, while in
reality, he is dealing under the ia

That would be a grand way to
dampen American war ardor-this
country getting into the war on the
side OF red Russia. Anything as
elaborate and devious as this would
be right on Baron Won Killinger's
target. With his genius for duplicity
and complicated intrigue he would

just such grand razzle-dazzle as
that.

gift for intrigue was such at some

 Office Waivers

Information compiled by the office of Compensation Commissioner Jo- seph E. Talbot, discloses that the re-empoyment of persons over 40 years of age is proceeding at con siderably more rapid pace than in 1940.
 Tn line with general increased em- ployment, the hiring of men in the older age category is indicated by the number of waivers issued by the compensation office during the first six months of this year, 3,160. Of this number approximately one-half are 40 years of age, or older. Five per cent were between the ages of 55 and 70.
 Waivers are certificates of physi- cal defect. They are signed by the employe after a physical examina- toni and provide for the waivilg of compensable rights, if injury is sus- tained to a portion of the anatomy previously afflicted. For example, ii a worker possesses only 4-10 vision in none eye, and suffer complete loss of vision in that eye as the result of an accident occurring at his pace of employment, he is entitled only to 4-10 the amount of compensa. tion, he would have received hat there been perfect vision in the op' tic.

YOUTHS MEMORY NOW IGNORED
Dedication of Fountain Witnessed By Over 300
 Spectators
Washington Hill

Nearly three hundred people wit messed the dedication ceremonies of the Memorial Fountain yesterday afternoon, at Washington Park, in memory of the three boys who lost their lives in a Hgituing storm last July.
 The fountain was made possible by contributions obtained through the efforts of the Washington Park Community club and friends of the boys and their families.
 The program opened with singing of the Star Spangled Banner and America by the boys in St. Francis Xavier choir. Owing to so many people being on vacations all the choir was not able to be on hand, but the following boys responded: {: Gene Pelletier, John Conway, Will liam Cuddy, John Gogging, Martin Cashin, Arthur Kennedy, Joseph Bolton, Gene Sugrue, James Carroll, Robert Murphy, Edward Hogan, John Shea and F. Ouellette. Di- rector, Robert Birt.
 The invocation by RAv. M. Webb Wright, pastor of the VSouth Fed- erated church, was very impressive
 James J. Gladney, past president of the club and chairman of the committee, made the formal presen- tation to James J. Curtin, superin- tendent of parks, for the Park De- partment. Mfr. Curtin'S remarks which in part. explaining why the memorial was a fitting one, even though we didn't need anything t1 keep the boys in our minds, the youngsters who would frequent the park in years to come, we hope. as they come to the fountain, heated up from play, and stopped to take drink of water, their thoughts would be brought back to why the fountain was there and murmur a prayer for the repose of their souls He also spoke of the good work which the Washington Park Con- munity club has done through the years they have been in existence.
 Rev. James Broderick, pastor oi the St. Francis Xavier church spoke briefly, consoled the parents and offered a prayer as a closing for his remarks.
 Mayor Vincent A. scully gave a short talk, at this point on the
