PARTNERSHIP IS
FORMULA FOR
HAPPY LIFE
CHICAGO, Dec. 19.—The increase
in divorce is viewed as a sign of pro
gress by Judge Joseph .Sabbath, jur
ist, who has presided over the hear
^ ing of ten thousand divorce cases,
but who refuses to grant a legal sep
aration until all efforts at reconcila
tion have failed.
“The large number of divorces is
a manifestatioon of progress rather
than retrogression,” Judge Sabbath
declared in an address before the
alumni of a Michigan university. “It
<tfs|one of natural incidents attending
tne emancipation of woman. The wife
no longer is a chattel, but a free hu
man being living and acting on terms
of equality with her husband.
“When the equal partnership be
comes impossible it is natural and
just that she should seek relief by
dissolution of the marriage vows.”
Judge Sabbath excludes from his
philosophy of success in the marriage
venture the possibility of wife and
husband preserving their individual
ities but includes early marriage and
children asl the most certain elements
to preserve the union.
Here is Judge Sabbath’s advice to
husbands:
“Make your wife a real partner and
discuss your business problems with
her. Give her your confidence. Avoid
the interference of relatives. Sup
ply her with enough money to main
taw the household with too much
slrimping. Have children or adopt
some. Work together, play together,
and grow up together.”
His advice to the wife follows.
“Assert enough independence to
make your husband notice it. Do not
be afraid to soil your hands. Make

THE PUBLIC IS CORDIALLY INVITED
TO BE PRESENT
your husband assume more responsi
bility for the home life than merely
financing it. Never flirt to tease your
husband; he wants to be the one
man in your life, more than anything
else, and to flirt is to stir a fire that
may consume both. Do not be afraid
of motherhood.”
Judge Sabbath sums up the formula
for happy marriages in the one word,
“Partnership.”

INCREASED COMFORT GREATER
POWER TO NEW FRENCH CARS
PARIS, Dec. 20— France is at
grips with the automobile fever.
The annual exhibition with its 1,000
cars, thirty of which are American,
has stirred an interest that didn’t
need much stirring, and the far
sighted are worrying over the traf
fic problems of the future.
Better automobiles for the average
driver are presented this season, al
though no revolutionary ideas are
offered. Freak mechanisms are few
er, but the general common sense
keynote of the show has not stopped
the development of recent improve
ments, such as four-wheel brakes,
the ■ “servofrein” mechanism for
them, and the long-sought substitute
for differential and gearshift.
More comfort in reasonably priced
stock bodies and better power are,
perhaps, the salient points to the
buyer. French cars long have been
cramped for any man taller than 5
feet 6 inches, but the foreign trade
and the trade of foreigners here have
reinforced the demand of the French
themselves for a little leg room, and
this year they are getting it.
The typical up-to-date French
automobile, corresponding to the
American. $1,200 to $2,000 classes,
now has four-wheel brakes, a fairly
, high-compression motor, about two
liter piston displacement, balloon
tires, and a silence of operation that
many of the best makers heretofore
thought of no great importance.
Prices, as usual are higher. They
went up with a bang last spring
when the franc tumbled and stayed
up, and many factories gave them
another little boost to celebrate the
show. However, on a gold basis, the
best cars seem cheaper than in the
United States, but their operation is
far more expensive because of the
higher cost of gasoline, oil, repairs,
and the Frenchman’s failure to look
after his car himself.
France now has about 400,000 au
tomobiles, or one to every 100 per
sons, but the one big, mass-produc
tion manufacturer of France, mak
ing a light moderate-priced car, ad
vertises that he is turning out 300
machines a day and will produce 500
daily next year.

WANTS BOND ISSUE
TO BUY SENIC AREAS
SEATTLE, Dec. 19—The Polick
committee of the State Parks associa
tion announced that it would make
a recommendation to the incoming
legislature asking for an appropria
tion of $1,500,000 for the purpose of
purchasig virgin timber stands and
other scenic areas. The proposal
calls for the raising of the necessary
money by a thirty year bond issue.
It provides also for the appointment
of a board by the governor which
will select the timber stands and the
areas to be bought.
A magazine writer makes much of
the fact that some native African
chiefs have 100 wives. This is why
they call it Darkest Africa.
