The Michigan Supreme Court ruled that a woman could not get a divorce merely because her husband called her hell of a wife." % Honesty is the best policy, bat other ldnds such as fire, life and accident, should not be overlooked. Asked what she would do with eleven umbrellas she purchased at an auction of articles left on street cars, Mrs. A. Gilmore of Seattle, Wash., replied: "111 probably lose them on street cars." Mrs. Marie Budge of Cincinnati was granted a divorce from her husband, Howard Budge, an English chef, on her testimony that "he doesn't like my German cooking." qt«SNAPSH0T GUILD HUMOR IN YOUR PICTURES He Just couldnt quite make It. Humorous shots such as this add »pl«tto your album--plenty of chances far thsm occur In any home. TTTJMOROU8 pictures are quite " rare--and perhaps that is the very reason they have such lasting appeal. If you want snapshots in your album that will never grow old, then keep your eyes open for picture chances that tickle your tunnybone. There are plenty of /inch opportunities, particularly around homes that have children--which Is not to say, of course, that grown-ups don't have their abBurd moments too. And if you stay alert for such moments, with your camera loaded and placed where you can get it readily, you'll likely garner some much-prized shots for your album. Sometimes, it's true, you'll have to re-enact things to get your picture. For example, when you find Johnny has been raiding the cookiejar again, Just let him demonstrate how he did It, for the camera--and kls guilty look will give you a picture that takes high rank la your collection. When the youngest member of the family gathers his toys and tod ties off to bed, finds he can't quite Make t'»t frads, art drops el to sloop in bod and half out-** then you have" another picture o|h portunlty well worth seising. Suck a shot, so comic yet so heart-waneing, holds more appeal than a han4» ful of routine snaps. Some situations merit a picturo, but the circumstances don't recommend taking it immediately. Far example, when Daddy goes to hang a picture, but hammers his thumb instead. In such a case, lust wait until things cool down a bit--then shoot a picture of him blowing on the injured member, with the ham* mer and stepladder in the immediate background. It's fun to think up ideas for humorous pictures. Recall funny things that have happened in tho past--then re-enact them for the camera. These shots lend spice to your album -- they'll give extra pleasure to you and your friends, especially if you do them realistically. And meanwhile, always keep your camera loaded and handy, ready to picture the funny llttto events that may dccur almost any time around the home.

SCHMITT, Supervisor of Town of McHenry. CONGRESSIONAL VIEWS by Congressman Chauncey W. Reed JOHNSBTTOG Miss Katherine Althoff of Elgin spent Sunday in the home of her mother, Mrs. Wm. Althoff. Mrs. Rose Hoffine and children of Genoa. Wis., called on her sister, Mrs. George King. Saturday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kempfer of Twin Lakes, Wis^ spent Tuesday evening with Mr. and Mrs. Joe J. Freund. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schuerrnann and Mrs. Henry Krift of Burlington, Wis., visited their aunt, Mrs. Wm. Althoff, Sunday afternoon. . Mr. and Mrs. Math Welter of Ringwood were callers here Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Karls and Mrs. George King were Woodstock callers Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Frett of Chicago spent the weekend with Mrs. Delia Miller. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Huff and Mr. and Mrs. Nick Miller of Richmond called on Mr. and Mrs. Joe King Wednesday evening. Ford Jackson •'was taken to SKTherese hospital at Waukegan one day this week. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Karls, Mrs. Jack Bodq and daughter, Pauline, and Mrs. George King spent Sunday with Mrs. Margaret Landre at Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Everett Thomas of Woodstock spent the weekend with Mr. and Mrs. Peter F. Freund. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Young, Spring Grove, were callers at the home of Mr. and MVs. Joe P. Michels Wednesday evening. The story is told of a British officer who wrote from the western front: "If only the Nazis would come over here we would chase the whole outfit to hell." The censor struck out the last word with the notation: "References to future movements of enemy troops are strictly forbidden." Presidential Vetoes Daring the past week the House had occasion to vote on the question of overriding a Presidential veto of two bills which would benefit war veterans and their dependents. The President had seen fit to veto this "veterans" legislation. On one measure (H. R. 7981) the Philippine Travel Psy Bill, which will effect some 15,000 veterans of tihe {Spanish American War, the House overrode the President's veto by a vote of 274 to 82. On the bill (H. R. 6901 which would have granted a slight increase in pension to a small group of elderly widows of Civil War Veterans between the ages of eighty and one hundred years, 217 Congressmen voted to override the veto as against 142 who voted with the President. In this case the Presidential veto was sustained because a two-thirds vote is required to override a Presidential veto. It was noted during the last roll call that most Southern Congressmen voted to uphold the President in his disapproval of legislation which would have benefited widows of Union Veterans. . National Hospital Bill It is expected that within the very near future the Senate Committee on Education and Labor will report out a "National Hospital" bill which seeks to appropriate to the Public Health Service a sum of money which will be approximately $10,000,000 a year to be used for assisting: states, counties and other political subdivisions in providing better health and medical service by providing better Hospital facilities. States, counties, cities or political subdivisions wishing to participate in the hospitalization extension program will be required to make application to the Surgeon General, giving information necessary to establish the existence of the need for such hospital and that the same will be made available under appropriate conditions to all groups of the population and that it will be utilized in furnishing service of satisfactory quality in accordance with the regulations to be hereafter prescribed. The bill will also provide for the establishment of a National Advisory Hospital Council which will advise the Surgeon General Concerning the carrying out of the provisions of the Act. A National Citizenship Day TTiere is pending on the Senate calendar, after having been passed by the House and reported favorably by the Senate Judiciary Committee, H.J. Res. 437. which seeks to make the 14th day of June each year (Flag Day) National Citizenship Day. The Resolution calls upon the President to annually issue a Proclamation setting aside that day as a public occasion for the recognition of all, who, by becoming qf age or naturalization, have attained the status of citizenship. The Resolution calls upon the civil and educational authorities of states, countiese, cities and towns to make plans for the proper observation of citizenship day and for the full instruction of future citizens in their responsibilities and opportunities. We hope that the Senate will soon take action on this Resolution as we believe that the objective is a very fine one. Civil Aeronautics and Air Safety It appears that the President's latest reorganization proposal which seeks to shift the Civil Aeronautics Authority to the jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce, and which would abolish altogether the Air Safety Board, is in for some rough sledding in the Senate. A powerful opalition of Democratic and Republican Senators are joining hands to stop the move. We believe that the Civil Aeronautics Authority should be maintained as a separate and distinct agency and that the Air Safety Board should be allowed to continue its good work and we hope that the Senate will disapprove the Executive's action. . $ ^4 ftilp SMMM iwiiff Goody** TM« lnnimi, 4>*a«id «k»«i,V-Wl4h* AMIKAt PASTtST RUM NHAS MOWS* KAMHOLZ HARDWARE It is expected that the four beadle of the figures of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt, being carved in solid rock on the face of Mount Rushmore, South Dakota, will be finished this summer.
