Women J (By Dorothy Dix) 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. ASHFIELD Miss Winnie Cunningham, of Tor- onto, spent -the weekend with her sister, Mrs. Ray Alton.

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."

We were interested es pccially in folk from Belgrave and near by.

What pleas- ant chats we had about the lrandons, Van Normans, Owens and other re- latives! A few doors frozn the City Hall there is a busy place, chiselling names and preparing stones and mon- uments for the cemetery. Mr, Frank Miller is the leading member of the firm.
