BY KATHLEEN NORRIS

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 i'll, they can no longer live
together in anything but con-
tinual repression, discomfort
and utter futility, then l know
that sheer he, or both Of them
are exhibiting a lack of char
acter and common sense.
1t is quite different VIII en-
serious matters are influence
ing either one. Intemperance,
cruelty, infdeIity may be valid
grounds for the breaking up Of
homes and the separation of chill
dren, although in the aforementioned
case l 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 trifing mistakes, the old honey
moon anxiety to be generous and
considerate 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 a 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, putting 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 her
very little to reproach him, to ask
pathetically how she has failed him.
She has kept his house and borne
his child and never been unfaithful
and given him the best years of her
life, she protests. What more did
he expect?
But if he is thoroughly alienated
by years of being just a bill-paying
boarder in his own house, with a
wife whose interests run entirely to
her own beauty, bridge lunches,
matinees with the girls, friends he
does not know or does not like, she
finds-as thousands of women find
every year, that the neat selfish little
scheme she has built up is house of
cards and that she is being forced
to join the ranks of the divorced.
Dislike Divorce.
Most women hate the idea of

loneliness, once marriage is dis
solved, and they suffer more when
they realize that a second mar
riage means life with another man
Just as faulty as the first, and the
fearful problem of the children's 10y
alties and their happiness thrown in.
The moral of which is that it would
pay many a woman to check up on
her marriage now. 1t would pay her
to determine that life was going to
be lived at least half the time on
Georges terms. That the weary
man of the house was going to be
in for little spelling. That what
he says at dinner tonight is going
to have an attentive and interested
answer; that his views upon low

; Drug Units Indicted
In Plot 10 Control
lnsuIin Prices
Seven Officers Also
Named as VioIutors Of
Antitrust Law

Three drug manufacturers and
seven of their officers were indicted
by a Federal grand jury here yes
terday on charges of violating the
Sherman Antitrust Act through an
alleged combination and conspiracy
to bring about arbitrary, uniform
and ~non-competitive prices for in
sulin. The drug is largely used by
seriously affected diabetic patients
The defendants, each of which is
named in the two counts of the
indictment, are: Eli Lilly & Co.,
Sharp g. Dohme. Inc; E. r. Squibb
g. Sons, Eli Lilly, president of Eli
Lilly & Co.; Charles j. Lynn, vice
president of Eli Lilly & Co.: Earl S.
Retter, director merchandising divi-
sion of Eli Lilly e. Co.: John S. Zins-
ser, president of Sharp & Dohme,

dent of Sharp & Dohme, Inc:
Carleton H. Palmer, chairman of
the Board of Directors Of E. r.
Squibb & Sons, and John F.. An
derson, vice president of E. r.
Squibb & Sons.
In a statement issued following
the indictment yesterday. the
Justice Department said the indict-
ment charges that insulin is one
of the largest selling products in
the drug and pharmaceutical trade,
and that constant supply ''is
vital to the well-being of the more
seriously affected diabetic patients
throughout the United States" A
substantial number of them, it was
explained, require one or more
daily injections of insulin.
The indictment alleges that the
defendants unlawfully combined
and conspired to bring about arbi-
trary, uniform and non-competitive
prices for insulin, to prevent free
and normal competition in the sale
thereof throughout the United
States, and generally to restrain the
trade therein.

Union Roofers Strike
At Two Maryland
Defense Projects
Jurisdietionol Dispute
With Carpenters Nay
Bring General WuIkout,

Several hundred union roofers on
defense housing projects at Odenton
Md, adjacent to Fort Meade, and
at Edgewood Arsenal, Md, went on
strike today in a jurisdictional dis
pute with carpenters.
The roofers threatened q general
strike on these projects If the dis
pute within the American Fedora
ton of Labor were not settled.
Construction work at Fort Meade
itself was not Immediately affected
The two jobs on which roofing
work was stopped involve more than
400 buildings to house non-commis-
stoned officers at Odenton and de-
fense workers at Edgewood.
Joseph Martin of Baltimore, busi-
ness agent of the roofers union, said
the walkout was called to force set
tlement of long-standing dispute
over whether the roofers or car
penters should build the composition
roofs used on the projects.
Mr.. Martin said the A. F. L. had
given the roofers jurisdiction over
composition roofing and the car
penters were violating this ruling.
He appealed to the Army construct
ing quartermaster's Office in Balti-
more for support of the roofers'
position.
Roofing union executives will de-
eide tomorrow night whether to
seek a court injunction stopping
the carpenters from putting on the
roofs.
1t is expected. Mr. Martin said
that other building trades unions
will refuse to pass the pickets lines
at Odenton and Edgewood
The union, he added, plans to ex-
tend the strike to similar projects
at Havre de Grace and Aber.

Britain's Libraries
Still Serve Public
Amid War; sHazards
= Havoc by Bombing Is
Defeated by Ingenuity
In Supplying Reading

Although called upon from time to
time to serve in such unfamiliar ca
pacities as mortuaries for AFRAID
victims and distribution centers for
gas masks, Britains libraries con-
tinue to fulfill their obligation OF
bringing books to the public. Infor-
nation reaching officials of the Free
Public Library here tends to confirm
the declaration of London librarian
that they "are carrying on, not as
if, nothing has happened, but al
least without appreciable dismay"
Duigent censorship has prevented
receipt of appreciable specific ad-
vices concerning damage to facili-
ties and book. collections, hut news
arriving in library and publishers
journals and in personal letters has
brought sufficient evidence bombings
have not disrupted library service
completely. .,t
Because of transportation diff
culties facing library patrons, nu-
merous auxiliary book depots have
been established in the large cities
and deposits" Of between 500 and
1000 volumes have been placed in
several of the larger afraid shelters
to ease the discomfort Of citizens
forced underground by aerial war
fare. Twenty temporary branches
have been set up in one city, the
name of which was deleted by
censor.
Books by Messengers.
Messenger service also has been
inaugurated to help get books to peo-
pie who want to read them.
What are the British reading?
Some of the novels of placid ex-
istence in small English towns,
which have been neglected in recent
years, now are being circulated
again, but, according to c. j. Purnell
of the London Library, "there has
been no appreciable diminution in
serious reading so far as I can see.
If anything, there has been an in
creased demand for specialist works
and, as many of our members are
civil servants. doubtless a consider
able number of books have been
consulted for war purposes"
At the Public Library, the staff is
interested greatly in the manner in
which their colleagues in Britain are

managing to "carry on" and they
are inclined to marvel.
Revive After Bombing.
They have learned, for example
That a branch library in London
was bombed but was giving service
again several days later.
That libraries in Bristol and Liver
pool have been forced out of their
quarters but have resumed opera
ton in temporary location.
That in one London borough, a
branch was struck by a bomb, two
knocked out of service by water
ano a third forced to suspend op-
Grafton for a time because of a
delayed-action bomb.
That In another borough, all
branches were damaged to some ex-
tent, while in a third, the central
library was bombed.
In spite of the devastation, how
ever, it appears, libraries are deter
mined to maintain and even extend
services, "as part OF the measures
which the Ministry of Labour is
anxious to secure for the welfare
,f industrial workers"
Follow Children to Country.
When the ministry maze its de-
sire known, it suggested library
buildings might be used more ex-
tensively as headquarters for study
circles and play-reading groups. y
When the evacuation of children
from London took place, libraries,
handicapped by loss of personnel
to war services, made an effort to
follow the youngsters into the coun-
try with books. Children have been
trickling back into metropolitan
centers in recent months. and, al
though no definite news has come
through, Librarians here think it
probable the stocks of children's
works have followed them again.
Working with temporary employees
and even volunteers, the libraries
Of Britain seem to be doing . re-
markable job, and the British gov
ernment. recognizing people whose
normal recreation patterns are
broken up turn to books in greater
numbers, is encouraging libraries
by permitting them to make claims
for books damaged as a result of
warfare-that is the picture as re-
ceived by the Public Library.
