that you may have for young
people who desire to make their

Too abaShed at first to assume
roles of marriage counsellors,
they finally answered. Arnold,
the more talkative of the two,
said:
There would be fewer di
vorces among young people if
they would stay out of taverns
and not stay up late drinking
and carouSing; if wives stopped
looking at other men, and hus-
bands wouldn't look at other
women.
"And if wives would 60 to

a good breakfast for their huS-
bands to work on instead of
staying in bed.
my wife always has meals

stays home and tends to her
knitting. We share in handling
the money. Young couples
should do everything possible to
keep their love light glowing,
Real love has nothing to do with
age. l think we are as much in
love as we have always been"
(They eloped to St. Louis when
he was Is and she was 14.)
Arnold said:
I'VE always had the same

We share in the house work,

Always pay your debts and

uted important service to the
party by assisting in the franz
ing: of state and national plat
forms and legislative measures.
His Name In Electoral College
He was chairman of the New
York state Republican conven-
ton in 1912 and the same year
was delegate to the national
convention which renominated
William Howard Taft for presi-
dent and James S. Sherman for
vice president. The latter died
October 30, that year, only few
days before the election, and the
four Republican members of the
electoral college cast their xotes
for Dr.. Butler for vice presi-
dent.
The Columbia president took
a. prominent part in the proceed
ings of the Republican national
convention of 1916, when he was
chairman of the regulations COM
mittee. In that convention he
was an advocate of the short bal
lot and favored woman suffrage.
His own state honored him in
1920 by presenting him as New
York's candidate for the Repub-
Iiean nomination for president
On the, first ballot DR.. Butler re-
ceived SO votes and continued to
be- recognized on each succeed
ing ballot including the final
when Warren C. Harding was
nominated.
It was in 1926, when the Re-
publicans sought him as their
candidate for governor of New
York state, but Dr. Butler in de-
clining stressed the importance
of his position in the educational
world. The presidency of Colum-
bia was not merely an institu-
tional office, he held, but one
which, undisturbed by the
clamor and selfishness of per-
sonal struggle and the instabil-
ity of public temper and opinion
had no equal in American ma
tional life in the limitless range
il Offered for contributing to the
advancement of the community
when national prohibition
went into effect he remained {
consistent and determined Oppon'
ent of the 18th amendment anC
the Volstead act and frequently
expressed his opposition in pub
lie addresses. One of those oc'
casions was an annual dinner o.
the Missouri Society in New
York when he appealed ito mer

moral principle and public spirit
to- strike the 18th amendment
from the constitution.
Durable Peace Outlined
His address attracted nation
wide attention and sometime
later DR.. Butler announced tina
he had received more than l0,00(
letters and 1900 kilograms will

critics he replied that 1.-The at

The Presidents party followed
Southland street to Duval street,
to Division street and thence by
Roosevelt Boulevard to Boca
Chica.
All along the streets were
small groups of civilians, watch
ing the cavalcade pass by, but
not near the numbers that we're
on hand to greet the President
last Wednesday,. Today there
were none of the school chill
dren out to see the President
pass.
Yesterday the President spent
a very quiet day. The only state
ment issued from the temporary
White House at the Sub Base
was a brief one sent out shortly
after the President had heard of
the death of DR.. Nicholas Murray
Butler. president emeritus of
Columbia University, New York.
THE President deeply regrets
to hear of the death of such
distinguished American educa-
tor and citizen" said the mes-
sage through Charles c.. Ross,
White House Press Secretary.
At $50 a. M, President Tru-
man attended divine services at
the chapel at the Submarine
Base. The President walked to
the chapel and then walked back
to his quarters afterwards.
President Truman joined the
congregation, which was a small
one, in singing the hymns. Holy,
Holy, Holy" Saviour Likes a
Shepherd" Amazing Grace
and Eternal Father"
He listened with attention to
the sermon delivered by 1t. w. j.
Davis, CHIC, Protestant chaplain
at the Submarine Base. He
spoke on the subject, 1.-THE Man
With a Handicap"
After the service the Presi-
dent left the chapel ahead of
Chaplain Davis, but waited for
him to come out of the tiny edi-
flee Then he shook hands with
Chaplain Davis and thanked him
for the sermon.
Following the church services
President Truman donned blue
swimming trunks and rode out
to the private beach at Fort Tay-
lor, on which he likes to stretch
out and sun himself.
He was said to have remarked
on the contrast between yester
day, a q3iet day in Key West,
and on that Sunday just six
years ago, when the Japanese at
tackled Pearl Harbor, and started
the United States on a global
war. q,
Then Washington was in the
throes of excitement. The Presi-
| dent, thea a U. S. Senator, was
in Washington at the time and
! later. voted full war for this
! country against Japan and Ger
many ! i. ~.
The score Or more newspaper
men, radio announcers and engi-
| neers and newspaper syndicate
photographers enjoyed brief
holiday yesterday afternoon at
Sugar Loaf Key.
| They ate craWfish and had
Spanish rice: They went in
swimming or played touch foot
ball on the beach. Some of the
men gathered coconuts and pick
ed up sea shells to take back to
Washington to their families.
They were the guests of Jack
Frost. vice president of Eastern
Airlines. Frost came here with
them on one of the Eestern's
planes.
They all donned their heavy
clothing this morning, for when
they arrive later in the day at
Washington they expected to be
cold.
Nearly all of them spent the
early hours today at the Nays
store at the Sub Base. They
picked up trinkets and more use
full things to take back home
with them to remember Key
West by.
