HUSBANDS AND WIVES GET TIPS ON MAKING MARRIAGE BLISSFUL Chicago judge Tells Each to Admit Being ~ Wrong in Arguments—Compliments Declared Good Policy. By the Associated Press CHICAGO, December 20.—Judge Joseph Burke of the Court of Domes- tic Relations is one man anxious to decrease his business in the new year. In the hope that some of the 35,000 who make complaints in his court each year will take advantage of his judiclal experience, he has issued a list of 10 commandments for husbands and wives. Those who observe them, he said, never will make his acquain- tance. “His commandments follow: For husbands: Don't hesitate to admit you are in the wrong. It is a matter of*small importance and the reward is great. Don't nag. ot Only the very rich. can buy good .liquor. The other stuff renders you blind, deat and dumb—perhaps for- ever. Let it alone. Make it & rule in your home never to let the day close unhappily. Wipe out the score before you go to sleep. Prolonged arguments ‘are horrible. ‘There is no torture like one which | lasts for years. ! Indulge liberally in compliments. They raise a wife's spirits, make her a better cook, a finer mother and a | more loving companion: If your. wife. had. tbe . money for clothes that¥the other woman spends, she would a dowd. emember that. Give your wife a-diversion-frons-do- Y mestic routine. Take her to a show, often if possible. Tell your wife the exact amount of your income. Plin together how to spend it. Be fair about it. Lock potty business troubles in your office at ‘night. Talk over the big troubles with your wife. For wives: In an argument. it softens the hus- band to tell him you were wrong, es- pecially when you know you are not. Don't nag. Don't drink with your husband and then complain- that he drinks too much. It never fills a map with admi- ration to séé a woman drink. Don't go .to sleep at,night with an aching heart. Ask forgiveness. Wom- en do that much easier than men. Arguments are dlsta:teful and de- structive. -Mén have too many of them at work to-enjoy them when they get home. It your husband has money insist upon dressing well. If he hasn't don't make life -miserable for Him scolding about fit. ? Don’t refuse to go out with your husband.

GIRL SPELLING CHAMPION PROCLAIMED IN ILLINOIS Word “Asylum” Finally Decides Contest—Boys Make Poor Show- ing Throughout. By the Associated Press. SPRINGFIELD, Ill., December 29. Tied for five rounds, two girls, cham- plon speliers from Sangamon and Mc- n Counties, determined the State spelling championship yesterday by their spelling of the word “asylum.” Miss Frances E. Conrad of Willlams- ville, Sangamon County, spelled it cor- rectly. Ruth Stotler of Hudson, McLean County, was second. Both the Sangamon and 'McLean County champions migsed two words before the fateful “asylum” sealed the championship. The word *‘accordion’ was missed by both. Miss Conrad missed ‘“continuous” and. Miss Stotler “nasturtium.” Two hundred and fifty- one words were spelled by the two girls. Of the 53 county champlons entered in the State contest, only 12 were -boy#, and only one of these survived the first round. 3 LIBRARY TO CLOSE. Holiday Hours Are Announced for Week End.

FIGHT OVER GOULD ' ESTATE NEAR END 45 Attorneys Take Part in | What Is Believed to Be Semi- i Final Conference. By the Associated Press. ‘W YORK, December 29.—Forty five of the city’s leading attorneys, meeting nere yesterday in a probable semi-final conference in the 10-year litigation over the $80,000,000 estate of Jay Gould, approved a compromise agreement making a series of lump sum settlements and annual payments amounting to about 20,000,000 to the many beneficiaries. Guardians of Frank J. Gould and Glorfa. Gould, daughter of Glorix Gould Bishop, will be heard by Ref. eree O'Gorman next Tuesday, after which he will report to Supreme Court Justice John M. Tierney. If New York and New Jersey court sanc- tion is given the agreement, the long battle over the Gould fortune, shrunk from $80,000,000 to about $50,000,000, will be énded. Samuel Seabury, former judge of the witch; Laura Brundage, the rob- ber girl. There were 20 actors and 20 dancers. Mary Falge, Kitty Marie Delaney, Nancy Hall, Alice Louise Hunter, Ann Vucinovich, Peggy Stahl, Olive Ruth Hathaway, Lucy Olaya, Eleanor Oliver, Ann Pace, Mary V. Trammell, Alice Jones, Doris Harter and Berenize Pitzer were among the dancers. The palace of the “Snow Queen” and enchanted woods represented the more striking scenes.

Maurice Magid was driving. Sulli- van was taken to a hospital and Magid to the police station. 1 In cdurt Magid told the magis- trate they had decided the easiest way out was for Mr. Magid to pre- sent his automobile to Sullivan and for Mr. Sullivan to drop all charges against 3 won done. the Court of Appeals, acting as spokes- man for the attorneys, told Referee O'Gorman that the proposed settle- ment represented well over three quarters of what the beneficiaricy would obtain as the result of any tlement which might result from fum ther litigation. Emphasizing the length to which some of the objectors of the trusteesi accounting had gone in compromising thelr claims, Mr. Seabury said that Anna, Duchess de Talleyrand, has set tled an $11,000,000 claim for less than $3,000,000. He declared that there was ‘“a strong probability” that litigation if prolonged, might so pile up costs that the New York estate might not be sufficlent to meet a final judgement. Adjournment to next week was taken because proceedings still are pending for the appointment of guard- lans for the minor children of Frank J. Gould and for the correction of an alleged technical defect In the guard ianship of Gloria Gould. CEETORE DR. FOOTE NAMED. Georgetown Professor Appointed as Pan-American Health Delegate.
