Shouid Cousins Marry? This looks like a question for the biologists who study the effects of he- redity. It is. But the difference be- tween a question of heredi plied to human beings and live st is that in our kind of society people think about these things. When cousins marry, they know that they are cousins and they know that some people look upon such marriages with distrust. If they live in certain States, first cousins find that they cannot be united until they step across the hnr-‘ der. 1t becomes a question of how this ‘union is gocially regarded, and that is an affair of the mind. The laws regulating marriage of near kin may be the result of prejudice or su- perstition—both concerns of the mind —or of wisdom backed by science or only by experience and guess. ‘Whichever it be, the evidence is im- portant. Such would be discouraged or forbidden when they are regarded as violating the laws of nature or of In_biblical times matters were differently regarded Sareh was wife and half-sister to Abraham. In Egypt the royal fami- lies, as did their gods, married sister and brother and near kin, and through many generations showed no decline of power or character; nor has the be- lief that such marriages are not fer- tile any valid basis. We know, too, that customs of this kind have quite other considerations back of them, as the English prohibition of marrying a deceased wife's sister. ‘The stock breeders go on the prin- ciple that inbreeding of selected stock is the only way to maintain the de- sired qualities. 8o what the biologists tell us is this: If the stock is good, the offspring will be benefited by a double inheritance of good stock, for The Sidewalks which the cousinship is a partial guar- anty; and if the stock is bad, the off- spring will be doubly handicapped, or run that risk. And this is just as true whether the parents are related or not. Another point streak in a fami If there is a bad it may work out by marriage outside and come back by marriage of kin. But all this is far from certain, though it iz clear |that the guestion “Should cousins { marry?” will be answered 8" if | they ‘are of good stock, and 0" if they are not. The social or psychological reasons weigh most in many opinions. The regulations among Jews requiring marriage within the tribe may be partly a biological precept, but more a conviction that mixed marriages in- troduce conflicting ideas. The Catho- Ilic Church provides that the children shall be brought up in that faith, and is unfavorable to cousin marria; un- der the view that family ties and the bonds of marriage love are different and should be kept so. Among primi- tive people there are as" many’ cus- toms that forbid marriage within the tribe as outside it. Then the caste type of society introduces rigid restric- tions of marriage founded on station and family, and democracy favors a melting pot of marriage, also. Much could be said in favor of bringing in new stocks and of having the young couple start out in life with two family backings and sets of in. terests, rather than one. Apparently, bride and bridegroom should be enough alike to have much in common in iInterests, outlook, ideals, and yet each bring something distinctive. Perhaps the answer is that good cous- ins may marry, and others will do so if they have a strong mind to. (Copyright. 1927.) of Washington | i BY THORNTON FISHER.

It is a day in which to cultivate contentment and to avoid all inclf tion to achieve radical changes in the coming year. A partial eclipse of the sun tomor- row is read as fortunate for the the- atrical profession and the film in- dustry. New business will develop rapidly in the United States. if the aspects accompanying the eclipse are rightly interpreted. The planetary influences encourage a quest of pleasure on the part of all classes. Saturn and Mars are in aspects sup- posed to presage great activity in the steel industry. New rallways will be built, ‘There is a sign read as most threat. ening, which forecasts earthquakes and accidents.

WASHINGTON, ]}DorothyDiacl: Simple Recipe, “Let "Em Be,” Applies to Husbands and Wives, Parents and Children, as Well as Friends and Acquaintances. Advocates Freedom of Action. The Recret of Popularity. THE secret of popularity may be told in three words. They are: Let em be. Grant other people personal liberty. Keep your fingers out of their ples. Respect their “keep off of the grass” signs. Don't monkey with their religious beliefs or politics. Don’t try to thrust your own prejudices down their throats. In a word, leave ‘em be, and they will adore you and admire you and chant your pralses from Dan to Beersheba. This_simple recipe for attaining popularity 18 equally infallible when used inside of the home, or outside of it, and applies just as well to husbands and wives and parents and children as it does to fricnds and acquaintances. 1f & wife wants to make a_hit with her husband, her one sure play that never fails is to let him be. Women profess to find a dark and insoluble mystery in the fact that husbands fall out of love so easily with their wives, and that the woman a man was breaking his nec rriage to get, strains a leg running away from as soon as he gets her. They attribute this {0 all sorts of causes—to the wife losing her lopks, to her getting fat, to the fickieness of the male sex, etc. Rut the real reason why wives lose out and cease {o he popular with their husbands is that the average wife simply finds it impossible to let her husband_be. Before marringe she did not interfere with his individual freedom.” He could do as he pleased and indulge his own taste in neckties and hafreuts and food, and go and come as it suited him. RBut with marriage that is all changed. The first thing the young bride does is to try to make her hushand over according to her own theories. Abits of a lifetime, and that sets up an ation in his mind and makes him cross and surly and resentful and precipitates endless quarrels between them. Iew voung wives have enough sense to realize that by the time a man is old enough to get married he has hit on the scheme of life which most appeals to him, and any won interferes with that at her peril. . T'S the wives who let their husbands be; who let them smoke in peace and drink their coffee the way they like it and go out now and then with the boys without raising a rumpus with them, who never have to worry about retaining their husbands’ affections or trying to look like flappers. And if a husband wants to keep his wife eating out of his hand, the surest way he can do it is to let her be, for women don't like being interfered | with and bossed any more than men do. | She attempts to break up the A lot of men think that in-order to show they are the heads of the house. they must treat their wives as if they were low-grade morons. They won't trust them with a dollar, but make them buy on an account which they can supervise and thus see where every penny went. They make their wives come to them like children and ask their permission to join a reading club, or to go to see their mothers. They even presume to dictate about their wives' clothes and tell them how long they shall wear their skirts and whether they shall have their hair bobbed or not Is it strange that the wives of these men rush into the divorce court on | the most trivial excuses, or that they are cheerful and resigned widows? The first money that many a woman ever has to spend as she pleases is her hustand's insurance money, and the very breath of freedom that many a woman ever draws is behind her widow’s veil. The thing that makes marriage a failure oftener than anything else in the world is that husbands and wives make of it a jail in which they deprive each other of every vestige of personal liberty, with the inevitable result that | they come to hate the petty tyrants that rule over them and long Intolerably to be rid of them.

FRO.\I parents, and especially from mothers, comes the continual bitter wail that their children do not show them any effection, that their children do not want them to live with them, that their children will not stay at home, and you cannot make them realize that the fault is theirs, that they have driven their children away from them by never letting them be.
