Donald, a newspaper boy, was trapped under two wheels of the freight car. There is a good chance of saving the injured.foot. Courts Reveal anlage Secrets What a strange marriage i" we say when we read of arich wife who made her husband do the housework as a ''glorified manservant," insisted that he should write letters to her at her dictation, have no social life, never visit friends, have no money of his own but leave her to pay his bills for clothes and other personal things. When these facts were disclosed in a reeent English Chancery Court ease the husband declared that, de- spite them, his thirty-six years of married life was "one long honey- moon" and they were really a Darby and Joan!. In all those years they rarely went out, and slept only one night away from home. She told him she could not bear him out of her sight. Strange? Yes, indeed, but at times marriages come into the legal spot- light that make one gasp. Coming to Terms There was a remarkable case in Chicago in which the wife of a tram conductor presented the judge with the following ten points as the lowest terms for dropping her divorce suit: "I run the home. He shan't hit sae or call me names. He shall allow sue more for food and expenses. And an allowance for my personal use. He keeps the yard clean. On days off he mows the lawn. Gives me every other Tuesday off to at- tend Women's Clubs, Takes me out once a week. Gives me kisses and affection. He can keep ten dollars a 'week spending money." "Fine," said the judge. "Now how about a list from the husband?" The Man sat down with pencil and paper, but could think up only six points: "She shan't break or destroy property in the home; get angry be- cause she can't go out every time she feels like it; gossip about me to neighbors; she shall count to fifty before doing anything; set the table completely before we sit down; when she goes to shops she will buy everything she wants at one time, so she won't have to make ten trips daily." "Well of all —'' exploded the wife. But the judge, holding up his band, said, "Count fifty." So she subsided, and they both signed. The searchlight was focused on another strange marriage when a frantic North Carolina wife told the police that her husband had shot himself. "He threatened to do it if I didn't stop nagging," she moaned. "Oh, if I'd only been kinder to him l" Whereupon the "corpse". sat up and said: "It's just a trick, boys. The blood is tomato sauce." Was she kind to him, now she had the chance? Not a bit. As they marched him off for unlawfully discharging firearms she screamed: "Let me get at him! I'll murder \him!" Lobster Parted Them One American millionaire got into the habit of meeting girls in night clubs, declaring thele his "dream," and proposing on the spat. AQostly in this way he contracted eight marriage's. One lasted a fort- night. Another broke after two months when the bride ordered lobster. He became angry with her because of the way she looked at the atlenu, "hoity-toity as if there was nothing good enough for her," Fannie Herat, the novelist, dis- closed that she secretly married the Dpianist and composer, Jacques anielson, on the understanding that they should live their own lives on these terms: She to retain her maiden name; any children to bear their father's name until they reach- ed years of discretion, when they ]naught choose which to use perman- ently. The pair to maintain separate establishments, meeting "as per In- clination, not duty," and to have separate groups of friends. "We decided," said Miss .Hurst, "that seven breakfasts a week opposite ane another might prove irksome. Our .:average is two." Neither was required to account for the tilne spent apart from the other. If the mar,tiage did not work after 'a trial period they would quietly separate , , . After five years the report was, surprisingly, "Olt" ern another marriage the wife said `'hfff whenever she hada tiff Seidl her husband she played a. record of their wedding, and such happy memories were revived -that they kissed and made it up. But she did not state how long the second lasted before it wore out. A Canadian shipyard worker's wife, up on a "drunk" charge, was sentenced by the Vancouver magis- trate to be spanked by her husband; "I'm sorry, Patricia," he said when they reached home, "there's nothing else for it—sentence of the Court, you know," and put her across his knee and soundly spanked her. After which—believe it or not—she was as good as gold. •He Was Jealous! A curious marriage came to light in: Poland recently. Neighbors noted that whenever the husband was ab- sent from the village the wife was never seen. The next time he was away police broke in and found her • chained to a wall in the cellar. "My husband loves me," she explained haughtily. "I love him. But he is jealous. He chains ole up whenever he goes away. Because I love him, I willingly submit." So they just shrugged and left her to her chains. In a recent Liverpool divorce case it was the husband who went down to the cellar— to get away from the wife. He lived there six weeks, sleeping in damp clothes on a suit- case and tin box, Topsy-turvey Household Then there was the man who told a North London magistrate that when his wife made life somewhat difficult by expecting him to do the housework and wait on her hand and foot, he consulted older friends, who suggested that a baby might make her more reasonable. When a baby came along he found that his troubles only increased. Now he had to rise at 5.8Q to give baby a bottle. One of the strangest marriages was that of Thomas Day, author of "Sandford and Merton." First he "adopted" a girl from an orphanage to train her to be the "perfect wife." To teach her stoical restraint he dropped . hot sealing -wax on her neck and arms, fired blank cart- ridges at her without telling her they were blank, Giving her up be- cause she loved frivolous clothes, he married a Miss Milnes, He allowed his wife no luxury of any kind, stopped all correspondence with her family, forbade her to sing or play the harpsichord, which she did well, and when he added to the house a dressing -room for her, in- sisted that it had no window, so that for years she had to dress by candle -light. He never' allowed any complaint about her health; when ill she was bundled out of doors to walk until she dropped. The little orphan had not missed much by failing to grow into the "perfect wife"! Husband is "Furniture" Marry Wollstonecraft, feminist author of the "Vindication of the Rights of Woman," had some pe- culiar ideas about marriage when she wedded author William Godwin. "A. husband," she wrote, "is a con- venient part of the furniture of a house." He should have a room some doors away to work in; they would dine out separately when they liked; their work and friends would remain separate. And evidently it satisfied both. At least they were on visiting terms. , . , The magnetic -eyed explorer,. Sir Richard Burton, who was adored by his wife, used to mesmerize her regularly. "He had only to say 'Talk!' she declared, "and I used to tell hits everything I knew. I have often told him things that I would much rather keep to myself." While she was in a trance he would sound her about the future and i luckily she was usually right. Their marriage survived even that severe •test, which would probably wreck most. But the strangest marriage of all must have been that of millionaire Alonzo Thompson, of Maryville, Missouri, who had a life-size wax effigy made of his former wife when he remarried. It oat at their table end was served. The second wife had to undress it and put it to bed every night and dress it for breakfast in the' .morn- ing. If she wanted money for', new gown the husband invariably cone stilted the effigy, pretending to hear the answers. tTsually they were "No, the can tmal.e' tin with what she has,N' As threatened last week, this piece will be an attempt to peek into the future and give our readers some idea of what they may expect to see, or hear about, in • the shorts field during the year --where's that new calendar, now?—Oh, yes, the year 1949, If it reaches you a trifle late— well, that's probably due to the in- fluence of the horses we bet on. k * * There has been considerable speculation, we might say, regarding exactly- what method of divination we use in slaking these annual fore- casts so uniformly untrustworthy. So We might as well say that we are the first seer to employ—not .the old tea -leaves method—but the mare modern and up -to -the minute tea bags. *. ,:. ,h Ordinary tea cup readers — the kind that ladies go to in order to find if there is a tall, dark billion - sire in their future—claim that with the tea bags they cannot see a thing clearly. Well—neither can we, but if you think that's going to stop us, you little know our determination, Or nerve, Well, then, in the—QUOTE-- World's Fastest Sport — UN- QUOTE—what may we expect?— you ask. .Along about Ground Hog Day the Chicago Black Hawks will discover that, just as a bird cannot fly on one wing, neither can a hoc- key team continue to soar on one wing line. Jolly Jack Adams will blow his top and say that there is a concerted effort on the part of the officials to ruin his Detroit Red Wings. Dour Dick Irwin will get even dourer, and assure his clientele that there is a cone+ d plot on the part of all the other five teams to make hospital cases out of all his stars. Arthur Ross of „Boston—who has alarmed many of his friends recently by actually smiling 'once in a while— will recover his form and say. that Connie Smythe is a lot like Stalin in his methods—only worse. Frankie Boucher will be found in a quandary —wondering whether he should' pull for his team to win mare games for Lyn Patrick than they did when ander his personal charge. And when everything is washed up and the real hockey begins — meaning the playoffs — it will be found that the Smyth -Day method has again paid off. This method, in case you don't know about it, con- sists in having three teams—one on the way up from the minors, one at Maple Leaf Gardens, and'the third on the way back to the minors, :x * Ia.. other words, as hockey is played today, quality is important enough, no doubt, but it isn't one- two -three as compared with quant- ity. Just who the Maple Leafs op- ponents will be in the final finals, we cannot exactly say, the tea bag having developed a split in the seams. But, offhand, we wouldn't be too much surprised if it turned out to be Detroit. * * k In Horse Racing, we have no hesitation in coming. out and fear, lessly stating that • the Kentucky Derby will be won by a three -year- old -in fact' you can go right now and wager the roll on this, as it's as near a sure thing as possible. Continuing on our intrepid course, we'll go even further and say that the winner of the King's Plate will be a steed that first saw the light of day in the Dominion of Canada. Beyond this we do not care to go. If we were to give the names of the actual winners it would cause the gents who make the Winter Books a lot of trouble—and some of them are having enough trouble as it hi, hardly knowing where their next Cadillac is coming from, * 0 s In baseball—if the present trend keeps up—they will have to take a day off in mid-season and introduce the various Big League managers to one another. Present-day base- ball magnates probably were taught in school that when there are only two pennants to be divided among sixteen teams, somebody is bound to go short. But they simply don't believe it, and so—as soon as a team ARCHIE 'iND AN AMBULANCE? .: BRING Ai'� PUMP... I'VE EEN blows its chances, it automatically loses its Manager. This is supposed to keep the falls from squawking — anotht-r example of the trusting in- nocence of those wile think they can buy pennant winners the same as you rio !lannburgsr--by the 1u111p. * * :n As to who will actually take the National and American League flags—well, there are dozens, even scores of sport experts who will tell you that, or attempt to. Always original, we shall try and be differ- ent and Iet you in on the secret that it will be neither the Chicago White Sox or the Philadelphia Philo, * .# * In Canadian football, along about November the first a quaterback. will call for a punt on the first down, and the crowd—and the opposing team—will be so stunned by the novelty that they wont recover till the game is over. Forward passers and catchers will be a dime a dozen,. and every coach north of the border will be willing: to trade them -six for one—in exchange for a kicker who can really get distance or direc- tion, or a middle wing who can go for six minutes without yelling for relief. The Big Four winner will prob- ably be Ottawa Rough Riders again and when they next meet the Western Champs, the boys from the wide open spaces would do well to have a care -- in fact a couple of cares. They have long memories, down around Parliament Hill, and they aren't going to forget what happened in the Calgary game in any twelve months. But by the time we get around to that point, hockey. will probably have been run- ning for at least eight weeks, and as that's the game with which we began this, we'll finish on the same sweet note. - t' * * In conclusion, we expect to see sports attendances in every line slip considerably during the year to come — and if you think the pro- moters, who have been making hay in large bundles for the past decade, will take such slippage without wailing, moaning or groaning—well, just keep your ears tuned.
