A few hours, days, or years later Ivan and Lisa, in an unromantic mood, could step into a registrar's office and sag, "Write us down; we aren't mar- ried any more." And that was that. What of the children, if any? Well, there were the state -con- ducted nurseries and foster homes. What of considerations of morality and religion? This casual freedom fitted very easi- ly into a philosophy of irre- ligion and repudiation of the past. Today says" a dispatch from Moscow, things are different. Ivan and Lisa have to make a declaration 'of intention and think it over a' week before get- ting married. To be divorced they must go to court. And more people are getting mar- Only Q9.

Is this change due to some great moral or religious revival in the U.S.S.R? We have heard of none. The change has been gradual. And no such revival would be necessary to explain it. Soviet society was simply trying to run a course contrary to one of several great forces which have always made a more or less enduring monog- amy the prevailing family form even where religion and custom have smiled upon plural mar- riage or tolerated divorce. A great student of human in- stitutions, Edward Alsworth Ross, once put the matter pithi- ly: "We all need desperately to be loved throughout our lives." And he went on: "We -can't fill that need if we think ;N,re : can divide our own affections. be- tween mates a c q ode. e,d., in bunches or ,mates acquired in series (assuming we can keep on attracting them). That's why monogamy." . — From T h e Christian Science Monitor. Snake OiI Goes Electronic By JAMES G. CROSSLEY NEA Staff Correspondent Snake oil these days comes with flashing lights, buzzers and efficient -looking panels of dials. "Good for man or beast . Cures anything from mange to mouse bite. ,Who'll buy the first bottle?" That was the pitch of the medicine show peddler as he posed on the tailgate of his wagon years ago. His modern . counterpart is more sauve. He's selling a "medical" machine or a "magic" belt. His appeal to the crowd appears as an ad in a magazine or a letter in the mail. Custom- ers may even have to join a cult. It may be headed: "More Feminine Appeal" or "Feel Young Again." But it's still the same old gooseberry, in the tra- dition of the snake oil that used to be concocted in a rusty wash tub at a secluded crick and sold at a buck a bottle. The American Medical Asso- ciation and the U.S. government Ow GENUINE WINDOW SHOPPER — Jacqueline Hughes attends to wants of a genuine window shopper in London, England. Her bookstore has a window with removeable panel 1' are doing their best to point the finger and holler "Get out of town" to these modern medicine show shysters. But it's hard. Hit with a cease-and-desist, next thing you know the Old Doc is selling something else. Right now the AMA has on display at the Cleveland Health Museum 20 horrible examples of phony "medical" devices, dredged from the quagmire of quackery. Thousands see simi- lar exhibits over he country. In providing these displays, when they are requested by local health groups, AMA is follow- ing a definite policy. "These exhibits protect the public against being defrauded by quacks who depend on the ig- norance of people seeking relief from suffering," says Richard Stalvey who accompanied the exhibit. .He's a member. of AMA bu- reau of investigation and form- erly served as a food and drug agent for the government. "We thing if we simply point out the construction and ingre- dients, we can depend on the people to make their own deci- sions as to the effectiveness of these devices." The Food and Drug ,Admini- stration, the Post Office and Better Business Bureaus cam- paign against them tirelessly. An example of the bait that lures millions from the public is a magic hair grower. On in- spection it proves to be a metal helmet. One pathetic little Christmas tree bulb provides the "potent" rays that are a]- leged to re -thatch the pate. Another is a light device which will patch up just any part of your personal plumb- ing that's misbehaving. An elec- tric lamp shines throught panes of colored glass. That's all. A plastic dumbell contains Lake Michigan water. A bag of dirt touted as an "atomic" cure has about as much uranium as it has ambergris --and if it had uranium, so what?

AILING PRINCESS -- Princes Marie -Louise, 83, is suffering from pneumonia. She is the last 'granddaughter of Queen Vic- toria, and is Britain's only liv- ing divoroed princess. One Cent! Two pennies were the only items found missing by an In- dianapolis housewife when she righted the disorder left in her apartment by burglars. * * . * Arrested for reckless driving, a Sacramento, Calif., man was fined $1,000. His wife set out to raise the money, returning after several hours with $999.99. A deputy sheriff supplied the mis- sing coin. * * * In Grand Rapids, Mich., po- lice searched for the person who stole $10, all in pennies, from the apartment of Manfred Harper. * * * A Boise, Idaho, candy store owner received 2 cents in a letter scribbled in a child's handwriting. The note read: "6 years ago I stole a 2 -cent sucker from your store. Here is the money." * * An octogenarian of Chicago collected the last penny of his account with a bank which failed in the depression. A 1 - cent check was sent him by the state auditor to complete the small pro -rata payments he had been receiving since 1932 on a $4 account. * * * The South Carolina revenue department received a 3 -cent check from a taxpayer who ex- plained-that x-plained-that he owed the state 12 cents in taxes and was send- ing along his first quarterly in- stallment. * * * A roll of pennies turned in at a Huntington, W. Va., bank contained elle penny on either end" and an empty shotgun 'shell in. between. * * Walter Drake, retired post- master of Windsorville, Me., had been saving a long time for a TV set. Recently he deposited 14,0.00 pennies on the counter of a dealer as a down payment. * * * A 5 -year- ]d girl of Berkeley, Calif., kneed very well there should have been a penny un- der her pillow when she awoke, Didn't the good fairies always leave a penny if you put a tooth under your pillow? X-rays at a hospital vindicated her faith. The coin was inside her 4 -year- old brother, who had awakened first. Origin Of A Wonderful School We were interested to learn about a school that started in London, Ont., about 50 years ago,specializing in the work of a Railway Agent, which cov- ered the study of Telegraphy, Car Service, Freight, Tickets and Baggage. T. E. Cassan, who had spent seven years with the C.P.R. and seven years with the Scranton School, discovered that there wasn't any school in Canada that specialized in this work, and realizing that these posi- tions were open only to men, • he started what was first known as the Railway Agent's School. After one year in London, he moved to Toronto and started under the n me of the Dominion iSchooi of Telegraphy and Rail- e.•'roading, Limited. Later the name was changed to Cassan Systems School. Due to the fact that for the first time .a school had started to teach the traffic work, the railway officials were so de- lighted that they supplied him with all forms, tariffs, tickets, etc., to enable students to learn in a practical way how the busi- ness was handled. It was pointed out that these men on the railway, as teleg- raphers and station agents, are performing a national service to the country in the same way as a man in the Navy, Army or Air Force. They are a11- serving their country, and the school is endorsed and recommended.. by operating officials of the C.P,R. and C.N.R. Cassan's grandfather was a captain in the British Army and was appointed station- master at Thorold, Ont., in 1864, at a salary of $400 per annum. Railroading runs in the Cassan family his father was a farmer and had four sons in the rail- way ailway business. In passing this in- formation on to our readers, we feel that it is a wonderful school and a wonderful opportunity for young men. DRIVE WITH CARE At Ebb Tide When the tide is ;sine the shore is a place of tins est, with the surge leaping high • ver jutting rocks a"d running in lacy cascades of foam over the landward side of massive boul- ders. But on the ebb it is r ore peaceful, for then the waves do not have behind them the push of the inward pressing tides. There is no particular drama about the turn cf the tide, but presently a' zona f wetness shows on the gray rock shores, and offshore the inco- ming swells begin to swirand break over 'ridden ledges. Soon the rocks that the high tide has concealed rise into view and glisten with 'tbe wetness left on them by the reeding water. Small, dingy snails move about over rocks that are slip- pery with growt'- of infinitesi- mal green plants; the snails, scraping, scraping, scraping to fine food before the tide returns. Like drifts •if "Id' snow no longer white, the barnacles come into view; they !a et rocks and old spars wedged in to rock crevices, and their sharp cones are sprinkled ove empty mussel shells and lobster -pot buoys and the hard stripes of deep -water seaweeds, all min- gled in the flotsam of the tide. Meadows of brown rook - weeds appear as the ceptibly ebbs. Smaller patches of green weed, stringy Ps mer- maids' hair, begin to ' s :'°%lite and crinkly where the stir. has dried them. Now the gulls, that lately rested on the higher Isages, pace with grave intentness along the walls of rock, and a -Ley probe under the hanging cur- tains of weed to find crab.: and sea urchin. In the low places little ;cols and gutters are left where the water trickles acid gurgles and cascades in miniature water- falls, and many of the dark caverns beteeeen and under the rocks are floored with still • mirrors which hold the re- flections of delicate creatures that shun the light and avoid the shock of waves -the cream - colored flowers cf the small anemones and the pink fingers of soft coral, pendent from the rocky ceiling. In the calm world of the deeper rock pools, now undis- turbed by the tumult o: in- coming waves, crabs sidle along the walls, their claws busily touching, feeling, exploring for bits of food.. The pool;; are gardens of color composed of the delicate green and ocl er- yellow of encrusting sponge, the pale pink if hydroids that stand like clusters of fragile spring flowers, the bronze and electric -blue gleams of the Irish moss, the old -rose beauty *of the caroline algae. And over it all There is the• smell of low tide, compounded of the faint pervasive smell of worms and snails and jel=y 'fish and crabs -the °sulphur steel of sponge, the iodine shell of rock - weed, and the salt smell of the rime that glitters on tr. sun- dried rocks. - From "The Edge of the Sea," by Rachel Carson. BAITLK The baseball game was teeing umpired by a little runt of a fellow. An. enormous player was batting and an equally large player catching. The count was one ball and one strike. The little umpire watched a pitch sizzle across the corner and yelled, "Two 1" "Two what?" snarled the catcher, mashing his mask into the umpire's face, "Yeah, two what?" growled the batter, raising his bat. The umpire looked from one brute to the other and said, "Too close to tell." ales* et SIDE BY SIDE -These two rival U.S. 'political figures are trying out a bipartisan policy unique in politics.
