MARRIAGES THAT ENDURE The college campus aeemt to be a propitious pot for matchmaking. Miss Rita S. Halle, writing in the ni-rnt issue of Good Housekeeping magaine, re veals that whereas there is bow one divorce to every six marriages, only one divorce occurs to every 75 j marriages that resulted; from college romances. Just why college rom ances should be so much more lasting than other kinds is a matter for spec ulation. Our guess is that the chief reason lies in the fact that college romances are seldom hasty things. , A college engagement tends to be a long one; usually is has to be. And while the long engagement is generally condemned, it does give a boy and a girl plenty of time to find out whether they are really suited .to one. another.. It is usually the "whirlwind romance" that winds up in the divorce court. o : PUBLIC RELIEF WORK j One hundred represent ative American cities spent more than 140,000,000 dur ing 1930 on relief work among needy families, ac cording to figures just is sued by the U. S. Child ren's Bureau. : Private contributions, the Bureau's report says, in creased measurably to meet the emergency, but the greater share of the in creased . burden of relief work was borne and is now being borne' by agencies maintained by public taxes. In general,, it is stated, pub lic departments spent near ly 150 per cent more on this sort of work than they did in the preceding year. '. Whatever may be the case regarding national re lief work, it is fairly clear that local work has to get very uoerai neip irom me public treasury. THE KIDNAPERS The kidnaper seems to have put on a revival in American city life during the past few years. Until comparatively recently, kidnaping was a compara tively rare crime; lately, however, one can hardly pick up a newspaper with out reading of some citizen Who has been abducted and held for ransom. ' The cause probably traces back to the rack eteering circles that have come into existence in the past decade. In Detroit, for example; "strongarm men" Who were hired to guard gamblers got their lieads together and organized a ' clique to kidnap the very men they were supposed to guard. In other cities the ranks of professional gun men furnish many recruits for the. kidnapers. ' However, the problem is far from . insoluble. En rgetic and courageous police work will nearly -always break it up. Detroit proved that, about a year ago. Any other city can do the same. .The kidnaper is a ESS u - , i fc KlaaMta market ay By ARTHUR HRI8HAM Copyright. l. bf Kite! ratara Syndicate, lao. TM death of Doctor Albert A.

That applies to Godiva, and the Maharanee ot Kashmir, also to Mohammedan women, collecting rose leaves for the manufacture ot attar of roses in the Balkans, long sgo. An American, the Iste Albert Brisbsne. riding from Berlin to Constantinople, via Athens, on horse beck, with two servants, early In the last century, ob served that the women, working witk bare faces, would Instantly cover their tacea with their Skirts at the approach of strang ers. This would not hsre been done in America, even by the most bsshful. for that skirt was the only garment worn, by those women, below tbe waist. Darwin tells yon that Pata- gonlan women, surprised In the open, would dash into their nuts, put ornsments on their beads and then emerge, ready for all comers, wearing only the head ornaments, no other clothing. It's sll a matter of custom. Head hunters will exhibit tbelr ghsstly collections, convinced that yon admire and envy them. PRESIDENT HOOVER, anxious to reduce expenses, asks army heads to recommend econo mies in army expenditure. 11 you had rabbits on the ground to defend you against eagles overhead, what importance would you attach to the rabbits? How many hundred million a year would you spend on their up keep. In the next wsr soldiers on the ground, with airplanes over bead, will be as valuable as so many rabbits. w w m OME troops are needed for police work, not many. The others are ornaments, except for the number needed to train emits In war time. There will be no fighting by ground troops, on this soil. The armv could be cut down to police work and air force with engineers for public works that could be used to train new soldiers, If need should arise.
