HOW TO GAUGE A HUSBAND'S
LOVE
(Ey Dorothy Dix)
'.'How carr a wife tell whether her
ii isband loves her or not?"
Well, sister, it is. hard to do, even
when a wife is dealing with the coni -
mon ,or garden variety of husbands,
and when she gets one of the rarer
and more complicated species, she
needs to' be the seventh daughter of
a seventh daughter and to have been
born,with a caul, and to have been
endowed with the gift of prophecy to
enable her to get a line on the state
of his affection. And even, then, she
is ' likely as not to be wrong which
ever way she sizes up his -emotions.
way she sizes up his emotions.
The legend of a woman's heart is
printed in big, bold, black type so that
W1NGHAM ADVANCEM"r',[MES
he who runs ma,y read, but the story
of a man's heart is engraved in mys-
terious hieroglyphics to which no wife
ever finds the key before she celebra-
tes her golden wedding, and which she
neverc e
ompl rely deciphers, No hus-
band is ever in doubt about his wife's
feeling for him, She betrays thern In
a thousand ways. As long as she
loves a man she is forever telling him
so: She is always trying .to make
herself attractive to him and keep
him vamped, and she delights in sac-
rifieing herself, for hien, Whenever
a woman lets herself get frowsy and
sloppy, and when shebegins quarrel-
ling with her husband and henpecking,
him, it is because she has ceased to
love him and doesn't care whether
she pleases him or not,
But husbands are dumb brutes who
seldom speak of their emotions. They
are egoists who believe that their
wives couldn't possibly fall out of lye
with them, even if' they tried. There-
fore all the -signs and portents by
which a woman could judge a wife's
love for her husband fail ,when she
tries to judge a husband's love for
his wife,
You see, sister, men love their wiv-
es in so many different ways that it
is no wonder that it keeps the poor
wives guessing. There is the physic-
al love that a man gives to the wo-
man whom nature has designed for
his nate and that really makes her
the one woman' in the world to him.
But, if, as is very often the case, she
happens not to be his intellectual e-
qual, it
-qual,..it doesn't keep her from boring
him to death. It doesn't make him
try to be companionable to her, nor
do anything for her happiness beyond
providing her with a home, and giv-
'ing her food,clothing and spending
money.
Then there is the selfish love a man
gimes 'his wife. He has a very real
feeling for her because she ministers
to his comfort andhe is horribly up-
set when she dies, because she has
disarranged all of his soft way of
living. There is nobody to look af-
ter the children and keep the home
a going concern, with everything done
on a schedule and'nb friction or waste.
Every time he goes to put on a clean
shirt he finds that nobody has sent
out the laundry, every time he sits
down to an ill -cooked dinner, he could
shed bitter tears over the loss of his
dear Maria.
Such a man is fond of his wife in
rite way he is fond of his autonrobile
or his handsome home.
Then there is the husband whose
love -is so self-centred that he never
thinks of his wife as having any sep-
arate life whatever, or any designs a-
part from. him, He ruthlessly sacri-
fices his wife because he is so full of
self love that he can't imagine her
having any .tastes, or desires, or in-
clinations different from his. I knew
a man of this type once who gave
practically everything he made to his
family. His wife and children skimp-
ed on the necessities so that he plight
lavish luxuries on his brother and
sisters.
And there are men who love their
wives 'egoistically, and who set them
upon • a pedestal and consider them
superior to all other women because
they ARE their wives, and -bear their
names, and represent their choice and
judgment in women, This is the kind
of love that wives find it hardest to
understand and believe in, because
such husbands are usually philanders
that chase after every pretty woman
that comes their way.
And there you are. It is because
husbands love is such different ways
and give such queer manifestations of
affection that `their wives, find it so
hard t6 diagnose the symptoms and
tell what is the temperature of their,
affections.
The one acid test of love in both
men and women is that they are will-
ing to work for each other: if they
are willing to sacrifice for each other:
if they are willing to put the happi-
ness of . the other before their own,
they love. .
If they don't they love no one but
themselves.

POPULATION PROBLEMS.
Row Minty` People Can the World
Support?
"What will happen when thence is
no more room in the world for more
population?" asks a writer, in Lon-
don Answers,
What is the maximum population
that the world eau eupport, and la.ow
much of it .will ile in Europe?
Where is Britain's population go-
ing? How many people will there
tbewenti t y Greyearats? Britain 1n another ten or
These are questions upon whieh
light may be thrown by the first
World Popul tion Conference at
Geneva. .
One interesting 'forecast is that
made by Prof. Bowley two years ago.
lit pointed out that "the present
number of births (and the present
death -rate) would ultimately result
in a stationary population in Great
Britain not far off 50,000,000."
At. .present the population of
Great Britain is about 044,000,000,
and many people consider that the
country is overcrowded. Sir Charles
Diose, for instance, estimates that
there were probably 6,000,000 people
too many in Britain in 1924. He re-
cently expressed the hope that, in the
next ,twenty years, there would be a
decrease of some millions in our
population.
But how is this ` decrease to be
brought about? It is true that the
birth-rate is falling. The figures
for Elugland and Wales in 1926, just
published, show 17.8 births' per 1,000
of the population—the lowest figure,
with the exception of 17.7 in 1918,
recorded since civil registration was
established. During the first half of
the present year the decline, has con-
tinued, so the birth-rate for the
whole year will probably be below
even the 1918 mark.
The number of births, however,
does not matter in itself. In 1924,
when aur birth-rate was lower than
that of France, there was still a net
increase of 257;000 in the popula-
tion of Britain.
It is the survival rate the differ-
ence between the -number of births
and the number of deaths — that
counts. If no babies at all were born
the population would not decrease so
long as no one died. And modern
science is cutting the . death -rate
down.
For at least some years yet we may
expect our population to increase in
spite of the declining birth-rate. Will
emigration absorb this increase, and,
in addition, some millions of our
present population.
The experts don't think so. In any
case, does emigration pay this coun-
try? The cost to Britain of getting
an emigrant on the land in one of
the Dominions, including the propor-
tion of expeness borne by the Home
Government and what has been spent
on the man .before he departs, is
£600. Then, too, it is the best of
our men who go, because the Dom--
inious take only the best.
Coming to the world population
question, we find the most recent
estimates of the number of people
now on the globe to be 1,906,000,-
000. There are, of course, large
WO of land which are almost
empty, so, at the moment, there
seems little to worry about here.
Sir George H. .I nibbs, however,
has estimated that, unless there is
consfidetable social .and edonom1c
developdnent, tb,e world will be un-
able to carry its population two cen-
turies from now. He puts the ex-
treme world population limit, aliow-
ing for all possibilities of scientific
advance in agricultural technique
and other directions at 9,000,000,-
000
,000,000;000 people..
A more recent estimate by a Ger-
man scientist puts the limit, with
every possible inch of land culti-
vated, at 8,000,000,000.
Another forecast gives Europe
probable future population as 400,-
000,000; North America's as 700,-
000,000;
00,000,000;, and Australia's as 70,-
000,000.
Here we come to a further prob-
lem The population of Australia in
e�
1920 was 5,846,000; or less than two
people to the square mile. Alt
around. Australia are countries with
from 86 to 551 people to the square
mile, Japan has 294.
At the present rate' el increase
the Australian population will num-
ber 10,000,000 by 196'0, mud. in fifty
years time will only be 17,000,000.
Japan's population in 1920 was 76,-
780,000, and this figure is being in-
creased at the rate of 760,000 a
Year.
Butterfly Farms.
Nowadays there are many kinds ?et
farms, but the oddest is' probably the
butterfly farm. Mr. L. W. New -
man's remarkable establishment In
Rent, England, sends thousands of
butterflies and moths to all parts of
the country, In Yorkshire there is
a butterfly farm at Burniston, near
Scarborough. 'Mr, Newman special-
izes In British specimens alone, but
at Burniston all manner of exotic
species are ineiuded. In the late
summer the display of Indian silk
moths and other beautiful foreign
races is a thing to be remembered.
The "Zero Hour."
During the war the word "aero"
acquired a new Significance, Before
those days it meant the figure 0;
nullity.
For some inscrutable reason it
came to be applied inthe trenches
to the last few minutes when, watch
in hand, the officers awaited the
crucial moment, when menwere call-
ed by inexorable destiny to measure
up to the ooeasion or lose 'heir man-
hood.
Long-Serviee Eyries.
Golden eagles are still to be found

eyries, have been used regularly for
hall a century.
