That's fine, stick to it, the first hundred years i are the hardest. A leading divorce attorney of Seattle says that if the newlyweds stick it out two years they usually remain happily hooked to the end; it ought to be a part of the | ceremony, that husband and wife mutually agree to bear and forbear for two years. Another hint; Nearly every newly made divorcee swears by all that is holy “never again,” and the majority of them are married as soon as the law will let them, Women are just like men in this respect, once bitten, twice eager. Yesterday a very eager young woman called her attorney wedding set for tomorrow night; that’s a year since I got my divorce. Is it all right When he hung up, the attorney said: “Most of them are like that, even those who have been married and divorced several times.” | Matrimony remains the truly great American sport, amusement, activity, blunder or happiness, according to how yours has agreed with you. | “I have the date of my ov ‘ | The man who has lived with a woman for from 5 to 15 years and retains her con- fidence, faith, admiration and love, has done the biggest thing in the world, and it isn’t such a hard job at that.

Europe had the skilled workmen and the established industries. American firms could not see a Profit forthcoming so never at- tempted to build up the business. During the war it was impos sible to buy watch crystals abroad; therefore, we had to manufacture them. The op Ucal companies brought over from France worxmen to instruct the American workmen in the art of grinding and in a short time we were making a better grade of crystals than we had ever been able to buy. As soon as the war was over and competition returned we should have made every effort to enable this industry to eurvive this competition. Both manufac or ehould have put effort; but what hap pened? The men working in these factories struck for higher wages; they were already getting avery high wage. The com panies saw that they could not make a profit and so shut down their factories. Instead of getting the $16 or $12 that these men were getting per day a lot of them are walking the streets looking for a three. dollar job, and we are again using watch crystals made in France or in Japan: they are no longer made in this country tn any quantity. Every month European compe tion is becoming keener; every few days we some new article on the market that has been imported from Europe. We are coming to realize that lives are closely wre our connected wi those of the Europeans’ The politician of the future will have a hard time persvading us that we occupy that isolated position they love to talk about "SALADA" He made it easier for Judges to make money on the side, The fact that the work he was doing may be good work makes not the slightest diff It makes it worse, for it is one of those stemingly slight deviations from the right line oat ef which grow abuses and corruptions.
