WHY HUSBANDS LEAVE.
Why do so umn.v husbands run
away?
A statistician connected with the bu
reau of public welfare has been trying
to answer the question.
After investigating thousands of
cases of desertions he finds that the
husband's action can usually be ascrib
ed to one of the following causes:
II) health and iieevishness of the
wife. -
Siouchiuess of the wife either hi her
own person or hi her housekeeping
methods or both.
The wife's habit of nagging or gos
siping.
Dislike for children on the wife's
part.
"This statistician found that the
strongest incentive to reconciliation in
cases of family. discord is almost in
variably the child. He also found that
very few wives are deserted who are—
Physically well and mentally cheer
ful.
Able to contribute to the family In
come either by outside labor or by
frugality in home management
Affectionate and home loving.
Sympathetic and considerate of their
husbands.
The very Interesting and valuable
statistics which he collected prove that
native American husbands are more
prone to desert their wives than are
the foreign born.
They also show that married life ta
the happiest when husband and wife
are nearly alike in age, nationality, re
ligion, moral standards, temperament,
health and physical strength. ^

WILL TBY TO FLY
ACROSS ATLANTIC
Wonamakor Epcis to Make
Journey In Thirty Huurs,
AEROPLANE IS DEifJS BUILT
Largest Machine Ever Designed Is Ex
pected to Be Pioneer of Fleet of
Transatlantic Air Liners—Has 1,800
Horsepower and Will Carry a Crew
of Six Men.
Rodman Wanamaker will attempt to
fly across the Atlantic next June in an
aeroplane constructed for him by the
Curtiss Aeroplane company. In a let
ter to the Aero Club of America Mr.
Wannmaker signified his Intention of
making the flight. He asked the co
operation of the club. lie said:
"Supplementing my letter of Feb. 4.
1914, signifying my intention of mak
ing a purely scientific test of ncronau
tical power by crossing'the ocean in
one flight, 1 beg to advise you of the
following developments:
"First, Lieutenant (now Commander.
John C. Porte, who was to command
the America, was called to his country
by the war, thus temporarily stopping
preparations fur the flight.
New Flier Ton Times the Power.
"Second, pursuing my purpose—to
build an air craft that will cross the
ocean—the America Transatlantic com
pany was incorporated, and the com
pany, acting for me, has placed an or
der with the Curtiss Aeroplane com
pany for a new craft that will have
more than ten times the power of the
old one. It will be of special design,
entirely different from any air craft
heretofore built, and especially adapt
ed for alighting ou and arising from
rough seas and therefore eminently lit
ted for the transatlantic flight. It Is
now uuder construction and will bi
tested at the Atlantic coast aerouauti
cal station at Newport Newg.
"I still believe that the first crossing
of the occan will bring quickly in Its
train aerial liners which will cegularl.v
cross In the air from continent to con
tiiient, for, as I said in my other letter,
the crossing of the Atlantic In one
flight of an nir craft is, to my mind, as
Important to aerial navigation as was
the voyage of Columbus to transporta
tion by water. Once the Atlantic is
-crossed in a single flight of an airship,
there will 6oon follow regular transat
lantic trips and a fixed safe transat
lantic air line.
Mere Problem of Science.
"The crossing of the Atlantic by air
Lb not a matter merely of initiative,
nor of daring, nor even of skill; it is a
problem of science. I hope to see the
day when the American Transoceanic
company will be running aerial liners
regularly across the Atlantic and other
oceans."
Though details of the ne^machlne
have pot been made public, it is. said it
Is a new departure and will be the
largest machine ever built; that it will
have six twelve-cylinder motors of 300
horsepower each and will be able to
make 100 miles an hour with a crew
of six persons, fuel, instruments, pro
visions and other equipment. It is ex
pected that the flight will take about
thirty hours.
Aeronautical authorities received Mr.
Wanamaker'a suggestion with enthusi
asm and agreed that such a flight ia
possible. John Ilays Hammond, Jr.;
Professor David Todd of Amherst,
Alan Hawley and Henry Woodhouse
are among those who expressed their
belief in the possibilities of such a
flight

PROHIBITION
HELPS LABOR
Four Times as Much Employment
Given For Equal Investment in
Other Lines.
The liquor interests complain
thai a huge amount of capital will
be lost if their businesa is sup
pressed. It is not generally known
that capital m such a trade. gives
work to few men and pays less
wages than capital invested in any
legitimate industry.
Au expert who has investigated
the iuestion in the United States
wr-tes:
Combining all of the indusrties ot
'tie United States, and crediting the
liqor industry with, its fair propor
tion of wage earners, wages paid
and materials used, the liquor, in
dustry requires four times as much
capital to operate as does the av
erage industry; which means, in
subs'ance, tha» for every $1,000,000
invested in the average industry in
iho United States, substantially four
times as much wages are paid and
four times as many workers em
ployed.
Viewing the question from an
other angle, it means that if Uie
same amount of capital that is now
invested in the liquor industry were
transferred to legitimate: business
enterpiises, the number of workers
employed, the sum of wages paid
and the amount of materials re
quired would be increased fourfold.
60 that even though three quarters
ot' the total capital invested in, the
liquor business were destroyed, the
workingman, as such, w«iuld be juat
as prosperous.
it must not be assumed, how
ever, mat wer§ the liquor business
abolishtd every dollar now invest
ed in it would be lost, as the li
quor men themselves no>w declare.
L,:tnd values vould remain, the same
and most of the buildings and much
0' the machinery could be utilized
for other kinds of industries with
out ter'ous depreciation in value.
We are, however, concerned prim
arily with the great mass of y/vek
ingmen who would be affeected. Let
us take five leading industries in
the United States—namely, textiles
and «heir finished products; iron
JL(1 steel and their products; lum
ber and its manufactures; leather
and its products, and paper and
printing—and compare them with
'he liquor 'business (including the
malting industry), jyjth, reference to
*he number of wage earners em
ployed, capital invested and wages
paid;
For every ?1,000,000 invested in
each of these industries the follow
ing number oj wage earners are
employed: Liquor, 77; Iron 284;
paper, 367; leather, 469; textiles,
572; lumber 579. These figures
prove that the iron; industries em
ploys nearly four times as many,
ptper and printing five times as
many, leather six times as many,
textiles seven and one-half time©
as macy workers for ©very $1,
000,000 invested as does the liquor
industry.
What is the ratio of wages paid
the workers to the amount or capi
tal invested in this business as
comparta . with each oX the In
dustries noted above? Here are
♦lit- '.inures: Liquor, 3.6 per cent;
iron. 17.6 per cent; pamper, 21.3 per
cent; leather, 23.6 per cent; tex
tiles 23.9 aer cent; „. lumiber 27.1
per cent. A quick glance at
these figures shows how compara
tively little the laboring, man gets
out o£ the liquor business.
Estimates of the amount of money
spent annually for Intoxicating
liquor very greatly. But it la Bafe
to assume that we spend each, year
$1,800 000,000 for this purpose. We
spend an equal amount of money
annually for tread and clotting.
Suppose 1 he liquor business ware
destroyed and t}ie money now spent
for beer and whiskey should be
speu* for bread andi clothing—not
that it would be necessary to have
a baker shop or a, clothing store
on nearly every corner to our cities,
as is the case today with, regard to
the saloon, bu» merely as a basis
o' comparison and because bread,
and clothing are two a' the great
est staple productions.
Were the ♦ransfer of expenditures
to bo made it would give employ
ment to nearly eight times as many
workers, who would collectively re
ceive five and one-half times as
much in wages. Here are the Un
ited Spates census figures for 1913:
Number of wage-earners employed—
Liquor industry,, 62,920; bread
and clothing Industries, 493,655.
Wages paid — Liquor industry,
$45,2£2 000; bread and clothing
