Here are some of the
ways they get stuck
in the courtroom -.
Mo Luck Should a husband
~ be allowed to reduce his
wife's alimony when times are bad?
Not unless he increased her ali
mony when times were good, said
the New York Supreme Court.
Husbands vs.. Creditors
If a husband puts his house in his
wife's name to. keep his creditors
from getting it, must she give it
back to him after the creditors are
put off? No, let him starve in the
same poverty he planned for his
creditors, ruled a Kentucky court.
Let Her Work Should a young
wife get enough alimony to enable
her to live without working? No,
she should not be encouraged to
exist IN idleness, said the Califor-
MIA District Court of Appeal.
Wife Did Not Pay ;. If hus-
band lends his wife money every
month for 10 years without getting
a cent back, may he deduct it as a
bad debt on his income-tax return?
No, because after the first year he
should have known the payments
were gifts and not debts, said the
United States District Court.
Chairs FOv Chou May a wife
sell the furniture to pay for her
supper? What else can she do if
her husband does not give her any
other means, asked the Connecti-
cut Supreme Court.
Break May a husband stop
paying alimony to his ex-wife if
she does not act like a lady? Yes,
because a husband should not be
required to work to pay for her
good times every night, ruled the
Supreme Court of Minnesota.

wife get more money when sepa-

Remember one time when teld
about the old loose-stone wall that
separated Easy Roberts property
from Handy Peterson's?
Thatwas when they decided they
really didn't need the wall between
them in the first place - so they
simply stopped repairing it.
Now / hear where fellow, who
bought the old Johnson place, wants
to buy all those stones. 1t seems he
figures a stone wall is just what's
needed on his property.
From where I sit, if that fellow
wants to build himself stone wall,

that's his business. But if it's not
really serving any useful purpose
he may sooner or later discover
just like Handy and Easy did
that he'd be just as well off without
one. Even some old-fashioned walls
of prejudice are disappearing
like those that would deny a per-
sons right to friendly glass of
beer now and then. Most Ameri-
cans are learning that walls" can
get in the way Of the persons in
