The Reason Why Your Wife can’t Keep a Cook Is the Reason Behind Most of the Trouble in //AY rid

IT IS all very fine to learn how Henry Ford made a billion and why Napoleon met his Waterloo, but what you and I must know is why we were not promoted, why we were fired, why Brother Bill will not speak to us, and why our wife cannot keep a cook. We live discrete lives, our problems are concrete. On our ability to get along with wife, husband, parents,children, friends, associates and society hangs the difference between Heaven and Hell on this earth. The man who can answer these questions, who can tell us why hundreds of people in' this town quarrel, divorce, lose their jobs or quit their jobs every day is a man we all want to know. George A. Dorsey, anthropologist, author of “Why We Behave Like Human Beings,” is that man. His book was-published more than two years ago but it’s still a best-seller today, and it will be for many and many a day to come.

Offers to Risk His Life, Prove ‘Death ’ Chair Fake By United Press COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Sept. 14—A young Danish author, Thorkild Barford, today offered to submit himself to electrocution in the same way and with the same current used in the electrocution of Sacco and Vanzetti.
