These are days when all the customs of society
are coining in for examination, and many iconoclas­
tic people think that most of our social institution^
have got to be modernized to fit present conditions.
The custom of marriage is particularly 'under attack
and many thinkers feel that society is botmd to make
radical changes in the laws governing matrimony.
As the practical result of such philosophizing,
many people seem to be disregarding the laws and
customs governing such unions, with results that
seem quite undesirable so far. •'
*
/*
Some thinkers favor something like a trial or
temporary marriages, to fit the desires of those who
are united to someone who is thoroughly uncon­
genial.
.
/
The marriage custom was developed as the re­
sult of centuries of race experience. It is based
on the idea that children need a permanent home
in which to he trained, and that if they lack such
care from affectionate parents, they will not usually
come out so well. •
It is hard to see how any worthy race of young
people could be developed, if parents are changing
around frequently, and many children are given
over to the care of one parent only, or are handed
over to institutions or distant relatives.
The present divorce laws seem to come down to
the trial marriage idea in many cases. Man will
say that instead of looser laws in such things we
need stricter ones, so that people in marrying will
feel that they are doing something very serious and
lasing, and that these ties are not to be broken
except for the most substantial reasons. It is point­
ed cut that a large part of the boys and girls who
make trouble in the community, come from broken
homes where the patents could not get along to­
gether. The lack of good home care is very often the
thing that leads to the errors of young people.
Controlling Radio
The failure of cougresp to appropriate funds for
the operation of the new radio control commission
seems unfortunate, and millions of rudio users will
hope most earnestly that means can be found by
which the new system for epptro^ing broadcasting
can be put into operation at bhoe.
The use of the air for this marvellous facility,
is something which the people have a right to con­
trol for their own benefit, as they see fit, through the
systems of regnlation that they provide.
No one and no group of people can say that
they shall use this method of communication to
suit themselves, but they must consider the right
of the people as a whole to have it so controlled that
it shall serve the maximuih public good. The right
of the individual, has to yield in thése times to the
right of the community, and the majority must
rule.
Woman’s Struggle for Beauty
The women and girls are buying six times as
much in the form of cosmetics as they were before
the war, according to recent statistics. Although
this is supposed to be an age of practical things,
when women are more independent of men than
they used to be, yet they seem to be struggling to
become physically attractive more than ever be-
fom
It is not for newspaper men to express opinions
ulmut such a feminine subject, Qxcfcpf that tuiy-
thing that looks artificial docs not promote beauty.
Active exercise in the open air is a wonderful thing
for this purpose, and the women and girls who go
in for athletic sports are apt to win admiration.
Also they do say that housework promotes physical
health and attractiveness, if women are not so
burdened by it that they overwork.
