Young Men Find
Economic Barriers
To Early Marriage'
Chicago—Marriage is increasing
in the United States, but the money
angle is giving it a new trend, Dr.
William F. Ogburn, noted University.
of Chicago sociologist, says.
"There are more married young
women than married young Dien,"
he said in a paper prepared for a
scientific journal," and "there are
more harried older men than mar-
ried older women."
The answer, he explained, was in
the fact: "Young men find economic
barriers to marriage which young
women do not meet, since the man
is the breadwinner."
"Widowers," he continued "pro-
bably supply many of the older men
for marriage with younger women."
"That widowers remarry in great-
er numbers than widows is shown
by the fact that the number of
widowers at any one time is about
one-half as great as the number of
widows, a fact that can not be due
to sex differences in death rates."

The
Oueen's Hail Murder
By Adam Broome
airROPSIS
SIGNOR ARELLI of Milan, a fam-
ous composer, in about to make his
first appearance in -Landon. He is to
conduct the first Performance of a sym-
phony of his own composition at the
Queen's Hall. The event has aroused
very great interest. The hall 10 crowd-
ed, and millions of listeners are waiting
for the performance to come over the
radio.
Parent makes kis entrance, and rate -
lure his baton suddenly collapses.
Medical aid is immediately forthcom-
ing, but it is obvious that the man is
dead. In the audience are two young
people. Lettice Manton and Stephen
Gar ton.
Lettice saw that her grandmother
was deeply affectted by the tragic
death of the famous composer, whom
she knew only by his fatale and by.
his music. She was interested in the
newspaper report of the inquest, not
merely because it tickled her curios-
ity for the moment, but because she
felt that it was all_important that
the murderer, if murder it was that
had been done, should be discovered
and brought to justice.
"And so am I shocked—dreadfully
shocked," said Lettice.
"And I suppose I ought to feel it
even more than. you. For didn't I
actually see Parelli die in the Queen's
Hall?" She shuddered as she recall-
ed the terrible scene. Matter-of-fact
she might be — modern — apparently
callous. But she had been enough up-
set and unnerved to cancel the prom-
ised visit to the hotel with Stephen.
And that, for her, was a very great
sacrifice. It was her ownAttle tribute
t0 the dead composer's memory;
though if anyone had put it to hes
in that light she would have been
strenuous in her denials of any such
surrender to sloppy sentiment.
"I don't think -it does," she said.
"You see the inquest isn't over yet—
it's going on tomorrow. And I don't
suppose the police want to give away
too much yet, or to show what their
suspicions are if they've got any."
She continued to read the report.
After tea the Signor bad asked to
be left alone again; he wanted to
write some letters which Martinelli
could post on his way to the Hall.
The concert was timed to begin at
eight o'clock, and the car which the
composer had hired during his short
isit to London, was ordered to be
T
at the hotel at 7.45. Signor Parelli
had handed to his servant the case
containing the baton which the King
of Italy ,had presented to him. It
was the one which he always used
3 y„ aandi cling an ,.411.Pgntant .4014
It was Martinelli's custom' to take it
himself to the hall about twenty Min-
utes before the conductor himself was
due to arrive and place it ready for
him on the score of the first piece to
be played. There were a few traces
of theatricality or mannerism in the
dead man's make-up and the little
ceremony of the baton was one of
them.
And then came the most startling
part of Martinelli's evidence. Hav-
ing lett Signor Parelli alone, and tak-
en the tea things back to the waiter
who had brought them, he passed on
the order that his master wanted a
simple meal at 6.45. He would him-
self be occupied in preparing for the
night's performance, making sure that
the car was ready in time, arranging
for the elaborate meal which his
master would take after the concert,
and which a couple of privileged
guests, well-known Englisch conduct-
ors, were invited to share with him,
in his private suite. Signor Parelli
was always too tired and exhausted
after an important concert to sup in
public with all the inevitable curi-
osity and fuss and ceremony around
him. The waiter was to leave the
simple meal before the concert on
a small table outside Signor Parelli's
door. He was to knock twice, and to,
I retire before the composer opened
the door to receive it.
On leaving his master's room Mar-
tinelli retired to his own, which was
a fent/ doors away from Signor Par -
in the same corridor of the
hostel; for the conductor always in-
sisted on his valet occupying a room
on the same floor as his own, instead
of being relegated to the usual ser-
want's quarters. Martinelli had al.
ready laid out Signor Parelli's even-
ing clothes on his Diaster'* bed, and
the somewhat eccentric. Italian did.

his toilet: Martinelli would not norm.
ally see his master again until he met
him at the Hall after having placed
the baton in position. So he had eat
ala
down and begun't�td,deal -with the cor-
respondence. Thelivo letters which.
were to be posted abefore the con-
cert would be pushed out under Par-
elli's door at about 6 o'clock ready for.
Martinelli.
About ten minutes after he had got
baok to his own room there had been
a light tap on his door. In response
to his demand as to who was there,
there had been two more soft knocks,
but not a word in reply. Thinking
that perhaps the waiter wanted to
ask him something in connection with
his master's meal, he had gone to
open it, having first put the precious
baton into one of the lower drawers
of the wardrobe. It would not do for
the precious object to be seen by the
prying eyes of some curious and per.
haps not too honest stranger. One
knew these foreign hotels. It was not
good to put temptation in the way of
some potential thief.
"This part's very queer," said Let-
Lice.
"I open the door. It was not the
waiter I see but a young woman
dark — petite' — pretty — smilinI
never see her before. I ask her what.
she want. She answer — in.Italian —
that she love the master so. She have
never seen him in her own country.
She live here—in London. She ask
if perhaps I can give her something
with my master's name—something
which he have write himself. At first
I was angry very angry. But she
began to beg — sae was very, very
pretty. I think it was true that she
love and admire the maestro. I say
'All right.' 1 shut the door — she
come inside. I turn to the drawer.
where I keep the letter case to see if
I can find some piece of paper with
my master's signature. When I turn
back again—but before I get quite
round I feel something soft—like a
sponge—on my mouth—and smell a
sickly, sweet smell. I try to catch her
hand -I stagger I fall on the bed.
And ,when I wake` up my dead ache

Registers Ring Again After
Six Years.
Swift Current. '— The depression
doesn't, live here any more.. This hub
oe the southwes't portion of Saskat-
chewan has been oiled with confi-
dence and the wheel of better busi-
ness is slowly starting to turn again.
Cash registers are ringing and people
are asking the price of farms.
After six years of watching grass-
hoppers eat what drought failed to
dry up or dust storms blow away, the
district had a Drop this 'fall. It was
not a large crop but ., it has brought

Farmers have a little money after
years of "self-denial and they are com..
ing to town. In 'rattling old family
chariots long distances to purchase
necessities and supplies for the long
winter months.
And because their rural cousins are
spending money, city folk are back at
work. One department store head
declared his company is doing the
best business in seven years and has
engaged 16 extra. clerks.
W. W. Smith, member of the Sas-
katchewan Legislature, has received
numerous inquiries about farin lands
in the district from points in Alberta
and Manitoba. Small houses in the
city are at a premium, he said, and
apartment blocks filled.
"You Blear business is picking up?"
Mr. Smith queried- in response to a
question. "Say, have you ever been
here on a Saturday night? You have
to elbow your way into the stores."
Many farmers who left the district
in swirling dust. storms a few years
ago are starting to return. A caval-
cade of confidence has brought about
the boom. Buying power has thrown
the period of economic distress for a
loss.
Measure Your Hip
For Average Weight
If you're. worried about your
weight, as compared with the average
for your height, forget it — consider
your width.
That's the advice of Dr. Helen
Brenton Pryor, assistant women's
medical examiner .at Stanford, who
has worked out "width -weight"
tables based on five years" study and
tabulation of some 10,000 children and
college students,
Instead of one "normal" weight -as
given on height tables, her scales
give seven "averages" based on'
width as well as height.
Width—technically, the bi-illac di-
ameter—is the measurement at the
crest of the hip bones with sliding
calipers, on the same principle as
measuring a marble with a monkey
wrench.
Thus, for instance, a girl of 18 who.
is 5 feet, 4 inches tall, might nor-
mally weigh as little as 10'? pounds,
if her bi-iliac diameter is 9.6 inches
or as much as 133 pounds if she
measures as much as 12.2 inches.
"Tests that have been made so far
'indicate injustice has been done to
about 30 per cent, of those measured
and labeled too thin or too fat under
the old one -dimension table„” Dr.
Pryor said.
Movie Marvels
(Kamloops Sentinel)
At the Fall convention of
Society of Motion Picture Engineers
held. at Washington the other day
there was less talk of television and
more of what might be expected in
the next few years to improve the
talkies themselves. Two or three
years ago they were telling us that
each would have a small television
set in his home, but the highlight
of this recent: meeting is the., an-
nouncement that by 1940 third -dim-
ension films will be a fact. Characters
and backgrounds will stand out ' in
bold reliefjust as they used to :do
(minus the thrill) when we looked at
the photographs through the old-
time :stereoscope that laid upon the
parlor table.
Also we are told, five years from
now the pictures will be colored
so naturally as to be "almost , in-
conspicuous" and at the same time
the sound apparatus will be so per-
fected that noises will seem to be
coming from the appropriate loca-
tion on the screen.
Research, scientific data and the
laboratory are all contributing to
the future of the industry, and a
further forecast of 1940 is that
sound will be reproduced over a
frequency range of from 30 to 10,-
000 cycles with smoothness and
reality, and that these disquieting
and disillusioning background noises
will be suppressed to the point
where the volume range of expres-
sion will be comparable to the or-
iginal sound sources.
"Color," said the president, "will
have achieved its majority and will
clothe the picture in the raitnent of
a gentleman, neither shabbily nor
blatantly but in such excellent taste
and perfection of detail as to be al-
most entirely inconspicuous."
Thus a science that everybody is
interested in progresses and more
and more weaves itself into the
lives of a public that must be mi-
ne stocky girl who nines to be Wil- tertained.
Lowy, therefore,' should not starve ,
herself into nervous irritability but
strive to keep to her "width -weight."
On the other hand, Dr. Pryor said
some Stanford girls w'ho had been
told they were "underweight" prom-
ptly shed ideas they were "delicate
when they learned they were normaai
