The fact that the Advertiser has § been struggling against adverse eco- nomic circumstances, during which revenues have continued ta dwindle and deficits to mount higher « and higher, is an f{lluminating comment on the high cost of publishing news: papers. This 1s a condition that fs regretted among newspaper publish | ers themselves, because it sometimes leads thoughtless people to remark that newspapers are gaining a mon: opoly in their various fields, whereas the simple truth is that these jour "nals have not been able to survive because -of the economic contingen. cles that have arisen.--Brantford E%- positor.

How to Talk Is "Popular Course New Course Offered By Mis- souri "U"" Draws Students. ) Columbia, Mo.--Higher education slipped Into reverse gear at the Uni versity of Missouri this year, so that now quest for a college degree in cludes instruction to. an art usually studied before kindergarten days -- how to talk! Latest addition to the Iissour] cur- riculum is no course in public speak: ing of drama, but plain facts on how to say "How do you do" t~ your next door neighbor or expound your poli tical views to the family without in- gertion of too many 'ers' and '"uhs". The new course, initiated by Dr, Loren D. Reid, speech instructor, who has discovered that one out of every 20 college students knows how to talk, is known as the "Speech Clinic". Started a year ago, with an enroll ment of one student, the new subject this fall has attracted 45. Some of the problems 'he collegiate course on how to talk is-secking to solve are: - } a A quarterback who can't be heard loudly that the other team could eavesdrop and whose signal calling is s0 poor his teammates often misun derstand and run the wiong play. A freshman who stutters when calicd on to recite. A teacher whose voice is so weak back row. ) Dr, Reid conducts bis course on the theory that most poor talking is a matter of bad habit; that if the bad habits can be broken--'"construction of an entirely new habic of articula- L tion," he puts it--the student will have normal speech. : Peggy Joyce .

Divorce proceedings already have been instit- uted, he said. Mutual love of horses was largely responsible for their attachment, Jackson revealed, after Peggy had suggested demurely that he do the talking, "You sec, we both love. horses," Jackson said. "That is what started us. [I bave given Miss Joyce one of my favorites, but I have half a dozen more. I.

Peggy Joyce, christened Margaret Upton, now well ovr 40 years old, according to best account, ran away from school when she was 17 and married Evereft Archer, of Denver. Divorce followed and she was next married to Sherburne Hopkins, of Washington. That marriage ended in divorce two years afterward. On January 22, 1920, she was mar- riled to J. Stanley Joyce, of Chicago. They were divorced in November, 1921, Her .ast marriage was to the Swedish Count Gosta Morner, in June, 1924. After that marriage had ended in divorce in 1028, Peggy on several occasjons announced her '"engage- ment" to various men, but none rip- ened Into marriage. Tables Turned "Writes the Chatham News: --A topsy-turvy marrvinge has come to light through an application for divorce made recently mn Los Ang- cles. The husband is suing the wife for the divorcee and «t the same time demanding alimony; and since th: man has been doing the work ir the hone, while the wife has been the wage carner, throughout their mar vied lire, the demand for alimony seems to be as reasonable as itis in other divorce cases where the cir- cumstances are reversed, For nearly seven years this man has only been employed periodically. For the last year and a half failing health has kept him at home. His wife, meanwhile, had a good job teaching school; so he bécame cook bottle - washer, and housekeeper, while she acted as breadwinner, One of the clauses in his divorce suit complains that she criticized his house-keeping, refused to take him to places of amusement, and got [angry because he failed to darn 'and mend her clothing. Alt this, in our careless conception of humor, adds up to a good joke. A vaudeville comedian could hive a rood deal of fun with it. jut underneath the surface it is anything but funny; amy iv reflects the kind of tragedy that been all too common in the depres sion years, . oo There is an old-fashioned idea We have strayed far from that ideal in these modern times; and now the woman's right to be the wage earner is generally recogrized--and it has heen a fortunate thing for many families during the past few years when the husband has been deprived of work, while the wife has been able to become a provider through her ability to fill positions open to her. But the system is all wrong-- at least as far as the husbands are con- cerned. Women may displace men in business circles; but men will never displace women as managers of the home Nor should they be required to try it.

Device to Assist Machine For Isolating Filter- able Virus Is Invented NEW YORK. -- A.new machine which isolates filterable viruses in a manner similar to that of a cream separator, is expected to lead to bet- ter results for counteracting fatal or disabling diseases, the Journal of Experimental Medicine reported re- cently. . The device is a high-speed cen- trifuge and applies the theory 'of centrifugal force to separate the viruses from the fluids taken from diseased animals and humans. Filterable viruses, producers of diseases such as the common cold, influenza, yellow fever and infant. ile paralysis, have long defied 1so0- lation. - The centrifuge, devised at the laboratories of the International Health Division of the Rockefeller Foundation, now makes it possible not only to separate them, but also to isolate them in pure, concentratea form. The machine was described in the Journal, an official publication | of the Rockefeller Institute for Modi- cal Research, Whirls At Terrific Speed The centrifuge is oncrosed in a vacuum whieh whirls the virus-con- revolutions per minute representing a maximum contrifugal force in the fluid of 95,000 times gravity.
