Dream Insurance

ment will be sufficient
Those millions are the boys who wanted to
be engineers when they grew up. And while
in maturity they must have realized that the
silent, efficient Diesel had lot of good points
their boyhood eyes still saw it with a jaun
diced gaze.
When we dreamed of being an engineer, il
was not the kind who sits enclosed in a
clean, almost whispering new invention. We
wanted to hang our head and shoulders out
of the cab, watch the black smoke pour out,
and hear that mighty chug-chug of exertion
and power We wanted a whistle that would
cut the air and make white plume above
the great black boiler We wanted to feel
and see-the drive of the wheels beneath u.s.
We suppose our grandchildren will feel much
the same way.

Divorce In Russia

What Disguised the Christian world will
| Russian bolshevisnl, as much as anything else
was its abandonment Of normal marriage re
sponsibilities and obligations. Both marriage
and divorce were made so easy that Russia
practically became nation of free love. There
was little difference between the farce of mar
riage and prostitution. 1t was as if at the snap
of finger couple could live together and at
another snap part and take up with new part
ners.
Now the Soviet government, which has fire.
quently moved away from the original boil
shevik tenets, mas issued a decree to strength
en- family life by making divorce hard to OBJ
tain and at the same time offered rewards fo~
the production of children with the emphasis
on large families. Bonuses are to be given
mothers in varying amounts according to the
number of their offspring, with 5000 ruples,
the equivalent of $3.50, going to the mother
at the birth of her eleventh child.
AS for divorce, there must henceforta be
actual evidence of inability of the contra acting
parties to get along. A petition must be filed
in a regularly constituted court, with the part
les thereto appearing in person, and the courts
first duty is to determine if a reconciliation
is not possible. In case of failure the case may
be taken to higher court, and witnesses must
be examined in botl.
While the inroads of war upon the Russian
population doubtless have had something ia
do with the sweeping decree, it is also possible
that the Supreme Soviet, which is to say
Josef Stain, has discovered that the family
firmly cemented by connubial and filial ties
as well as high religious standards is the
foundation of national security.

an unarmed jeep, with another

IN NORMANDY - by wireless)
One of the favorite generals
among the war correspondents is
Maj. Gen. Manton S. Eddy, com
nander of the Ninth Division.
We like him because he is alb
solutely honest with uc, because
he is sort of old shoe and easy
to talk with, and because we think
he is mighty good general. We
rave known him in Tunisia II d
Sicily, and now here in France
Like his big chief Lieut.. Gen
Omar Bradley, General Eddy
looks more like a school teacher
tnan a soldier. He is big, tall
man but he wears glasses and his
eyes have a sort of squint. He talks
like Middle Westerner, which
he is. He still claims Chicago as
home, although ne mas been an Ar
my officer for % years. He was
wounded in the last war. He is
rot glib, but he talks well and
laughs easily.
In spite of being a professional
soldier he despises war, and like
any ordinary soul is appalled, by
the waste and tragedy of it. He
wants to win it and get home just
as badly as anybody else.
