D, 'Fresidder, repre. sentative, REPRESENTATIVES IN U5, Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, de MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1928 A al MATRIMONY SERIOUS BUSINESS TEE How serious is matrimony? All around are evidences that the vast majority of men and women regard it with traditional grav- ity, Whatever disappointments have come to one or the other party to the connubial partnership, they usually are concealed and so far as surface indications go all is serene in the average home, An overruling sense of duty it may be that prevents the dislocation of many matri- monial bonds, causing wife or husband to endure the almost unbearable, Other less respectable reasons may impel one to toler-, ate a galling condition, But the common impression given is that matrimony is re- garded seriously, It is well so, as may be concluded after reflection upon some of the conspicuous failures brought forth in the news, Yet we wonder when the seriousness of matrimony takes hold of a lot of people, Obviously in all too many instances it is not within the period of courtship when there is still time to avoid error, If only after the wedding wife or husband begins to learn about the other that which should have been ascertained before a mat- rimonial shipwreck is almost certain to en- sue, How very serious matrimony is ap- pears from whatever angle the subject is examined, No special warning should be needed to impress this truth on any. NO ONE I8 INFALLIBLE Every newspaper man and every reader knows that typrographical errors creep into every newspaper, despite the efforts of the proof-readers and the mechanical staff, A proof-reader is born, not made, and so far, very few, if any have been born, Last summer The American Mercury an- nounced that it was prepared to pay a salary of $1,000,000,00 a year to an infallible proof- reader, and in answer to the advertisement more than 800 applications were received, many of them accompanied by letters of _ man," recommendation from the learned and the wise. ; "And all of them were rejected, and for a Friedrich Silcher, the celebrated editor and author of German folk-songs, into- Friedrich Siler, a thing as palpable and absurd as con- verting Goethe into Gotte or Coolidge into Collidge, I% would be pleasant to add that this er- ror was put into the paragraph deliberately, to catch the candidates, but this would be untrue, Like all the others that get into that ma. gazine and into every periodical and news. paper and book that is printed, it was inad- vertent. And it slipped past six readers in Such is human fallibility under prohibi- tion, that, in the very paragraph they responded to, there was a typographical error of a gross and revolting character, It converted the proof room and the office and no less than thirty-eight readings, Not one of the applicants detected the fact sound reason, AN UNSUNG MAN'S HERO This year the world let pass virtually un- noticed the one hundredth and fiftieth an- niversary of the birth of Beau Brummell, an event that should be of no little interest to the whole Western race of men,- It was none other than George Biyan Brummell who invented long trousers and starched collars and bequeathed them to his own and succeeding generations. He is like- wise credited with having worn the first "dress suit." Fate did wrong by this arbiter of styles for men, It was he who put an end to the medieval dandyism of knee breeches, silk hose, satin coats, lace collars and ruffies and ushered in the era of the sombre "tailor-made But, curiously enough, he figures in the popular mind as the great dandy of his- tory, Beau Brummell found a masculine world abloom with gaily celored clothes, concocted without rhyme or reason, He left it clad in "subdued hues and more concerned with fol- lowing the 'correct style" than with at- tempting to shame the peacock, Only in the sense that he was immaculate and cor- rect could the Beau be called a dandy to- day, By putting the world of men into long trousers and starched collars, he, undoubt- edly, effected a more profound sartorial change than any other man on record, He deserves to be remembered and honoured as a unique innovator and arbiter of social tastes rather than as a dandy, EDITORIAL NOTES The word, Listen," has never been known to preface anything worth listening to, You can't tell about married people, Pet names live on long after the affection that coined them is dead, The trouble is not so much that a dollar is worth less, but there are so many more things to spend it for, The original hard luck guy is the youth who married the girl to get his frat pin back and found she had lost it, Flour that is selling in Tasmania for $65 for a 150-pound sack brings almost as much there as it does here in bread, His substitutes are doing so well, there is some disposition among the customers to let Anthracite sit on the bench a while longer, REFORMS SUGGESTED ANNUAL RUM GRAFT BUSINESS SECTION GUTTED BY FIRE ~ Greater Part of Madoc Main Street Destroyed in Early Morning Blaze Peterboro, Dec, 3,~--Fire destroy- _ ed the greater part of the business - block in early yesterday morning when three stores were completely gutted and a small apartment house burned to the ground, The blaze started in Grovier's bakeshop, and had made much headway before it was dis- covered by the Ivanhoe stage driver at 2.45 a.m, The volunteer tire brigade was able to keep the blaze confined to the threebuild- ings.

Hoover, Supervising Inspector-Gen- eral, said at the conclusion of his department's investigation of the disaster, Inquiry Ends Ajournment of the inspection service inquiry ended the United States Governmpet's investigations of the Vestris sinking off the Vir- ginia Cape Nov, 12, with the loss of more than 100 lives, The in- quiry conducted by United States Attorney Charles W. Tuttle was concluded Friday. Mr. Hoover said his report, which he estimated would be com- ple.ed in ten days, will include 2 resume of the testimony taken in tie Federal Attorney's hearing, and would point out the lessons learned from the loss of the Vestris, Portland, Me., Dec. 3.--An em- phatic defense of Captain Carey of the Vestris, who went to his death as the ship sank, was woiced by his boybood friend and playmate, Captain Jobn Murphy, master of the American steamship Bantau, just. before the ship sailed from bere yesterday, ON DETROIT BORDER IS SET AT $2,000,000 Detroit, Dee, 3.--With estimates already before it that rum graft in the Customs Border Patrol Beryice in the Detroit area annually ap- proaches the staggering sum of $2,000,000, a Federal Grand Jury tomorrow will resume its investiga- tion in an effort to determine the scope of the alleged corruption, Thirteen Customs Inspectors have been arrested thus far on charges of accepting bribes and tributes in a conspiracy to permit wholesale smuggling of liquor across the Detroit water border from Canada, John R. Watkins, United States Distrct Attorney, has estimated that approximately 100, Inspectors will be dismissed from the service before the investigation ends and that half that number of "liquor barons" will be indicted, OPEN AMBASSADOR BRIDGE ; NEXT DOMINION DAR Windsor, Dee. 3.--Construction of the Detroit-Windsor $26,000,000 Ambassador bridge, the lopgest sus- pension span in the world, has progressed with such rapidity as to assure its completion re July 9, 1929, which date has been fied for. the formal opening. This an- nouncement was made Saturday py Robert MacMinn, chief.epgineer in charge of construction. MacMinn said the cable work of the bridge will be completed before another week - BALDWIN REPLIES T0 BRITTEN NOTE, THEN VANISHED go wan vg Washington, D.C., Dec, 3.--The week-end failed to bring any light to chairman Britten of the house naval committee, as to the views of Premier Baldwin of Great Britain on his proposal for a naval limita- tions parley between committees of the British Parliament and the United States congress. Britten said today that appar- ently the friendly reply which press dispatches said the Hritish Premier had addressed to him he) been held up somewhere along the line between London a:d Washington. The chairman was not sure just where, but he expressed some doubt as to whether the reported com- munication ever would reach him through the British Embassy or the United States State Department. No Reply The chairman, however, in send- ing the proposal to Mr. Baldwin failed to use the channels of state department communication, and the department has announced that as| yet no reply from the Premier had | been received. | Bricten explained he had heard | nothing from the state department or the British Ambassador, Sir Esme Howard, in regard to the reply, although these two confer red at some length yesterday. Follow Procedure Britten declared it was evident Sir Bsme did not deliver the reply to the department but, he added, he might learn the conients of the reported communication in dis- patches from London, where, he said, he understands a resolution has been introduced in the House of Commons requesting Baldwin's message be made public, The chairman expressed douht that Ambassador Howard would transmit Premier Baldwin's reply to him direct in view of the state department's apparent attitude and the long-ectima.ed diplomatic pro- cedure in such matters, CHICAGO CLEAN-NP CONSIDERED LIKELY Take Office Next Week oe Chicago, Dec. 8. -- On the brink of a promised "new deal" from law enforcement forces, the hetter ele ment of Chicago and Cook County re- joiced at the prospects of severing the alleged existing link between crime and polities, The new deal, it is pledged, will be made the first of next week when Judge A, Swanson will take over the office of State's Attorney succeeding Robert J. Crowe who was defeated for re-nomination at the hectic primary last. April. As his chief aide in the prospective drive against vice, gambling and liquor elements, Swanson will have Frank J. Loesch, who as special pro- secutor succeeded in obtaining indiet- ments against a score of political henchmen and the conviction of 16 on charges of emp. ying terrorist methods at the polls in the primary. A cause for added rejoicing came in a report of the special November grand jury, indieting 11 politicians, including two policemen and a negro alderman. The report denounced the present administration, particu- larly police "higher-ups," blaming them for affording protection to the underworld. The report charged that Chicago has "harbored a vice gambl- ing and lignor syndicate" for four years and that its operations have been "above the law," Michael Hughes, former chief of police, was the only official in the administration of Mayor William Hale Thompson whose name was mentioned specifically, but inferen- tially, other police heads were ac. cused of existing conditions, "Individual policemen are honest at heart," the report said, "But they know they will get in trouble with their superiors if they arrest the real offenders who have protection from higher-ups." The underworld shook with alarm not only at the prospect of the new Swanson administration, but from recent activities of raiding squads' against gambling houses, speak-easies and beer flats. NEW TRIAL 18 SOUGHT FOR EVERETT McKIBBON Toronto, Dec. 8, -- Claiming the discovery of new evidence, Everett McKibbhon, the Detroit barber, who was convicted of participating in the Union Station mail robbery and sentenced to 15 years in Kings- ton penitentiary, entered an appeal at Osgoode Hall on Saturday. McKibbon claims that new evi- dence has been found which, he believes, will destroy the effect of the evidence given by Findlay McLeod, Sr.,, in every important particular." He contends that this evidence, in respect of which affi- davits will be submitted shortly, will prove that he had no part In the robbery. ro 3 -- { v i. hrs TP -- py p-------- = y!

Barton, M.D. DIVIDING UP YOUR DOLLAR FOR 00D Whether you are a millionaire or an individual of limited means, what your dollar will buy in food in the market, for cash, is just the same. And when you think about it, it isn't what luxuries or delicacies in foods that count with that body of yours, but what foods will give the most value in heat, energy, and body building. In other words the best way to invest that dollar in food- stuffs, should be of interest to every man, woman and child. 1 saw a food exhibit arranged by the nutritional expert of the Canal dian Government that struck me as being worthy of handling on to my readers. Spread out in a neat array of little groups were the different types of oodstuffs. One group; meat, fish, and eggs. Second group; vegetables and iruits. Third group, bread and cereals. Foyrth group; milk and cheese. Fifth group; fats, sugars, groceries or other adjuncts, Thus all the foodstuffs were in- cluded, and the suggestion was that of cach dollar spent on food, twenty | cents, or one fifth, should be spent spent on each one of these groups. This means that the number of ca- lories and all the vitamins get into the diet everyday. This looks like a practical common sense manner in which the house- wife can feel that she is using the best possible method of not only get- ting the best all round value for her dollar, but giving her children, hus- band, and i) the greatest amount of nourishment Of course there will be cases where there must be little changes made. A mother with three or four small children will invest more of her dol- lar in milk. A mother with children in their teens will need the milk of course, but must get more meat or CEES. Also where the family are all adults and work hard with their hands more meat or eggs may be necessary. However the general idea that the dollar as expended should be divided into fifths, one fifth for each of above groups, is a simple method that is casily remembered.

ANOTHER ATLANTIC FLIGHT PROPOSED Berlin Newspaper Says Am. erican Woman Will Go on Plane Berlin, Dec. 8. -- The Rohrbach hydroplane Rostra will attempt a flight to America before December 2 via Vigo and the Azores, accord- ing to the Berliner Tageblatt Fri- day afternoon. The only passenger aboard the plane, which was primar: ily designed to carry freight, will be Mrs. Mildred Johnson, an American, this newspaper asserts, The well known German pilot Steindorf® will be at the controls, The object of the flight is said to be to demonstrate that trans-Atlantic transport can be made profitable. An official of the Rohrbach firm Friday afternoon refused to confirm the accuracy of this report, informing the press that it had not yet been decided what to do with the Rostra, This plane, he said, was not to he confused with the Romar, one 'of three huge hydroplanes built by the Rohrbach Company for the Luft. hansa which proposes to put them in commercial service between Germany and South America. "The Rostra had its first trial flight only three weeks ago," declared the Rohrbach spokesman, "It is much smaller than the Romar, weighing only nine tons to the Romar's 19 tons, and possessing only two-thirds of the length and stem of the Luft- hansa machine. The Rohrbach firm has built the Rostra for experimental purposes," SAYS EMIGRATION MAY PARTLY SOLVE THE UNEMPLOYMENT Birkenhead, England, Dec. 8. -- While emigration was not the solu- tion of the unemployment problem, it could and ought to be made a great part of the solution, declared Rt.-Hon. J. H, Thomas, M.P., former Colonial Secretary in the MacDonald Labor Government, in a speech here, ' The speech was made at the launching of the steamship Lady Rodney, fifth and last of the five vessels built here for the Canadian |, National Railways steamships for ser- vice between Canada and the West Indies, There was something wrong when one part of the Empire was crying out for citizens and another part was unable to give work to those who wanted it, Mr, Thomas said, He was confident that whatever arose over the recent experience of British har- vesters in Canada, which at the best was an "improvised scheme," no more harm could be dope to the fu- lated to that our relationship with the Dom- inions should be bantered across the party ," Mr. Thomas added. In 20 years, My. Thomas econtin- ued, Capada would be a different country.

Three of the indictments were re- tyrned in Riverside county and one in Los Angeles county, The Los An- geles indictment charges the rancher with the murder of a Mexican boy in this city, It was on this indictment that Northeott was suddenly and un- expectedly arraigned, and his trial date set for Dee. 5. : After trial on the Los Angeles in- dictment, it is planned to take the youth to Riverside for trial there.
