‘Marriage Is a Lie ’ Club Told The marriage ceremony is a lie. - ’ Tearing at bridal veils and Lohengrin wedding marches with clear analytical phrases, David Seabury, eminent psychologist, startled members of the Women’s Department Club in an address before that body Wednesday. "The marriage ceremony is a lie because it misinterprets love. It "'ays ‘promise to live’ and. it should be ‘hope to love.’ Love is an emotion that can not be controlled by the word ‘promise,’” Dr. Seabury declared. He put a verbal dunce-cap on modem youth with “Nine out of ten college students do not know how to think. They make storehouses cut of their minds. The mind above ell is not a storehouse for facts and figures, but a thinking machine.” Parents Arc Criticised He romped on parents by blamutg them for youth being on the "wrong track.” Instead of teaching youth to study the idiosyncrasies within themselves, parents constantly subdue and repulse them. That is why insanity in this country has increased 30 per cent in ten years and divorce 300 per cent,’’ he asserted. ‘The four prime emotions are rage, fear, sex and wonder. Thcre re positive and negative outlets for each. Parents of today shut off and stifle youth’s attempts at outlet of three of the emotions, rage, fear and wonder. So there’s only one left, sex, through which expression could come.” Get Away From Worry ‘ Love and lust are the only exit channels for sex,” he asserted. Worry, he asserted, is the forerunner of mental senility. "Get away from terrible anxiety, accept yourself as you are. and make the best you can of it,” he advised in conclusion. Edward Tomlinson, adventurer and South American traveler, will be the club’s next speaker or March 11.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
A CITY girl is upset over marital troubles in her’ family. “My sister,” says her letter, “is suffering bitterly from one of these thieving women who worked for her husband and was treated very nicely—even coming to dine with the family. She stole my sister's husband and is breaking up the home. If we had an organization of women to protect decent homes, there would not be a chance for such serpents to poison and wreck lives.” Such wails as this probably went up in Paleozoic times. And they will ascend so long as men and women are prone to evil. But no organization could mitigate this unhappiness. We might, however, offer this consolation: The women who set about deliberately to break up homes may succeed in doing so, but never do they obtain happiness for themselves or the men. And if a wife can keep her head it is not so easy to break up a home as it sounds. ana SOMETIMES very decent, kindly men appear to succumb to the lure of a friend or office helper. Now and then they really think they are suffering the pangs of a great love. But if they are mar- % ried to sensible, loving women, if they have children, this aberration will not last for long. They usually come to their senses with a bang. To the wife who is obliged to suffer the ignominy of seeing her husband's attention stray to another, the best advice is that she look after her children and her house and retain as best she can her sense of balance in the face of disaster, and that, she try to possess her soul in patience. One day, by using this meth'od, she will have a penitent husband at her feet. We have built up a sort of glamor about these women we call “home breakers.” A good many of them are pitiful victims, too, of life and circumstance. About the really guilty ones, those who make a business of preying upon married men, there is nothing glamorous. They usually are cheap, shoddy frauds. And sooner or later every man who deals with one of them will find it out! Alumnae to Be Feted Miss Adrienne Schmedel and Miss Imogene Mpllins will entertain members of the Indianapolis alumnae chapter of Phi Omega Pi with a Valentine bridge party at the home of Miss Schmedel, 4144 North Capitol avenue, at 2 Saturday afternoon.

First congress of the Internation Federation of Business and Professional Women scheduled for the last w’eek in July in Vienna, is the principal objective of the fourth annual good-will tour of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women’s clubs, which will take one hundred or more American business women to Europe this summer. Three groups will sail on July 11 on S. S. St. Louis from New York, following the biennial convention of the national federation at Richmond, Va. Miss Marion H. McClench, Ann Arbor, Mich., will lead the delegation as president of the national organization.

A second group will go to England, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, France and Italy.

Clubs to Celebrate Miss Phillips is sponsoring observance of February as International Relations month on both sides of the ocean. Clubs all over the country will celebrate during this period. “We have pushed the skyline back and rejoice in the world fellowship of business and professional women,” reads Mrs. Phillips’ message to 1,250 clubs in the United States and foreign countries. .“The three great projects to which we should devote our united efforts and strength are advancement of higher standards for women in business; opening of new opportunities for women, and the creation of a great public desire for peace.

Muscular-Rheumatic Aches and Pains T'YRAW them out with a “ counter - irritant.” Distressing muscular lumbago, soreness and stiffness—generally respond pleasantly to good old Musterole. Doctors, call it a “counter-irri-tant,” because it gets action and is not just a salve. .Musterole helps bring soreness and pain to the surface, and thus gives natural relief. You can feel how its warming action penetrates and stimulates blood circulation. But do not stop with one application. Apply this soothing, cooling, healing ointment generously to the affected area once every hour for five hours. Used by millions for over 20 years. Recommended by many doctors and nurses. Keep Musterole handy; jars’and tubes. To Mothers—-Musterole is also made in milder form for babies and small children. Ask for Children’s Musterole.
