HOLDING A HUSBAND A Connecticut college professor says mo-.t unhappy marriages arc duo to tlic fact that brides are not train ed for matrimony. He advocates the establishment of schools to remedy matters. As a sample of the sub jects to be taught he offers a hot of rules for holding a husband. Part of them follow. Oive your constant, whole-minded love. Allow him freedom to come and go as ho pleases. Say, "John dear. ' instead of just "John." Ask, don't demand. Hell do it quicker if he thinks he is granting a favor. Let him smoke, drink and gamble at home, if lie must do those things. Feed him well. Diess your best for him instead of for strangers. Don't talk business at home. Keep you health above all for good health means good nature. All of these sentiments have a quaint charm, of course, but many . intelligent modern men and women, married or single will laugh at most , of them.

Fresh proof of this comes from Chicago. niiinoss and professoinal men there, organiz ed under the nnme of the Chicago Crimo Commission, have in three years cut the number of the city murders in half. They have also greatly decreased the city's burglar ies and robberies. It is significant, however, that this commission has never undertaken to detect, nrrcst or prosecute lawbreak ers. It has devoted all its efforts to pointing out to police and courts the cause of crime and the weakness in law enforcement. First of all, says the last annual report of the commission, crime has flourished in Chicago because the criminals have been able to escape punishment. Crime, tho report de clares, always will flourish so long as malefactors are given unnecessary opportunities to beat the law. In Chicago they have too often evaded punishment because of straw bail, failure of tho police to make arrests the granting of continunnce or new trials, leniency in permitting pleading of insanity and congestion of the courts. That is to sny. tho conditions which the Chicago citizens have had to rent edy are practically tho same os citi zens in nearly country have to against black brutes who attack wo men. When the Tribune's campaign of holiness was at its heighth. a racei war broke out in Chicago in which the , m.i t hideou mob vengeance ever, I lo oil upon innocent blacks took an avfi.1 toll.
