The Standard Indictment of Husbands:
"He Never Gave Ale Any Money."
By CHARLES E. ERBSTEIN, Chicago Lawyer.
"And Ik; never, never pave rue any money." What a familiar ring
there is about those time honored words of complaint, this standard in
dictment of go many erring husbands.
I row many times in the course of a long practice at the bar have
these or words of similar import come to my ears, not from a beaten, ab
ject creature clad in the livery of destitution, but oftener than not from
well groomed, cultured women of the world.
And more potent to foment deadly hatred and disgust than the dis
colored optic or the straying affections, is this cardinal marital sin, "tight
wad ism."
It represents that inevitable revolt of the independent, freo-Rpirited
American woman against the last struggling gasps of old world ideas of
masculine tyranny, the natural reaction of a liberty loving, active, keen
minded woman against the sordid state of affairs which maki her the
object of her husband's capricious bounty rather than the partner of his
struggles and his prosperity.
A clear statement of assets and liabilities, a char understanding of
income and outgo in dollars and cents, not in glittering generalities, with
out fourfiushing or self deception, the adoption of a budget system to reg
ulate the expenditures of both, the entrusting to the wife of a fixed, defi
nite allowance fur personal necessaries, a rigid adherence to the standards
laid down when the budget is adopted, and above all, a cheerful recogni
tion of the fact that marriage is a partnership, full of joys, sorrows, won
h:m, disappointments, but above all, of mutual responsibilities, and in
my judgment you have at least taken a step toward the solution of the
financial question in marriage.

Five years of famine have resulted
In greatly Increased mortality and
morbidity In Vienna which before the
war was counted as one of the health
lest cities In Europe. Figures prepared
by Dr. Gustave Bonn, head of the
Vienna Health Department, show that
In 1913 the death rate was 15.3 per
thousand. In 1018 the rate was 22.Z
per thousand, an Increase of more than
47 per cent.
Professor Hans Spel of the Uni
versity of Vienna, says that "even
more terrible than the molality sta
tlstlcs are those referring to the con
dition of children and their mothers
Owing to under-nourlshment few moth
ers can nurse their babies, and the milk
shortage affects uot only Infants, but
all children In spite of el that lias
been done to help. At Professor
Clemens Pirqnet's clinic In the uni
versity some f4,S49 children were ex
amined In 1U1S. Only 4,GG7 of -hese
or about one-thirteenth were passed ns
skin food, fat Rood; 23,0 9 were pale
and thin, or very pale and very thin.
"The health of these children shows
most disquieting features. Skin disease,
ruchitls and Hnilow's disease are rife.
"The chief medical oliloer of Vienna
asks, 'What Is going to happen to these
under-fed children. In who bodies the
germ of tuberculosis Is latent, when
they reach the twenties, at which time
It becomes active?' "
To combat these conditions the Amer
ican Relief Administration of which
Herbert Hoover Is chairman fed last
wluter to the city of Vienna some
300,000 of the deitltute and under
nourished children, supplyli g them
with a substantial meal of Amerlrun
food, served in Dumber of large
kitchens opened for that purpose.
The conditions In Vienna are more
or less typical of those In Poland md
other countries of Central i.nd Eastern
Europe. Last year the Relief Admin
istration was able to reach some 3.500,
000 under-nourished children and this
winter the program calls for the feed
ing of a like numler, but eight of the
great charitable organizations of
America have united under the name
of the European Relief Council, of
which Mr. Hoover Is the chairman
The child feeding task will be carried
We wish you all a happy and
prosperous New Year and assure
one and all that we fully appre
ciate their patronage during the
past year.

Vancouver, Wash. No less than
11,000 persons, 5500 couples, have
been married since the first week in
January, 1919,. according to records
of the county auditor, J. L. Garrett.
It is possible that this number will
be increased by 100 couples try the
end of two full years. Last year on
the day before Christmas 38 couples
were married.
However, during 1919, thrr? were
many soldier weddings in the city,
and now there are almost none. The
persons getting married during the
past year were on an average older
than for 1919, the average that year
being reduced by war conditions, and
the fact that this was a military post
and thousands o soldiers wer? sta
tioned here.
It was noted that many widows,
both "grass" and "sod," have been
married during the past year, and in
hundreds of cases the bride was as
old, or older than the bridegroom. If
the number of soldier weddings were
subtracted, it would si-eia that the
number of persons married here this
year was actually greater than dur
ing 1919, though the total shows
about 90 less to date, but there are
yet six days for the office to be open
this year, which will reduce this
shortage.

What has happened here In the
sheep and cattle game has and will
happen in other communities and in
other lines of endeavor. The men
who are well grounded in a business,
as well as its avenues for profit, and
are governed by that knowledge and
strictly attend to their affairs will
undoubtedly succeed in the long run.

origin in England Id 1840 as a dlred
