I READ a good book lately and recommend it jo every male who is having difficulty in keeping his woman in line, ru The book was published in London in the ve: 1622. William Gouge 1s the author. It’s called “Of Domestical Duties.” There are eight chapters n the book and the best is the hird treating of Duties of Wives.” Doggone, we were born 300 years too late, men. Mr. Gouge, and may his soul rest in peace, gets at the problem. (which wasn’t any problem in 1600) by stating that all hus- | bands are superior to all wives and that a wife must first acknowledge that all husbands are superior,
COMEM
> & FROM THERE wife moves to the accepted fact that her own husband is superior because “till a wife be informed that an husband, by vertue of his place, is his wife's superior, she will not be persuaded that her own husband is above her, or hath any authoritie over her”
Mr. Gouge winds up again and says a wife should show, toward her lord and magter, an outward reverence in gesture and speech. To wit: “A reverent gesture and carriage of herself to ber husband, and in her husband's presence, beseemeth a wife . . . reverent conversation consisteth in a wife-like sobriety, mildness, courtesie and modestie.”
% o
IT GETS BETTER, neighbor, much better, “A wife's reverence is manifested by her speech, both in her husband’s presence and also in his absence. For this end in‘ his presence her words must be few, reverent and meeke , . . to be willing to hearken to the word of knowledge coming out of her husband’s mouth.”
Mr. Gouge frowns on the wife who rifles a husband’s trousers. “Such as privily take money out of their husbands’ closets, counters or other like places where he layeth it, never telling him of it, nor willing he should know it , . . such wives sinne hainously, and that in many respects.” Bh hb THE BRILLIANT man takes a dim view of the wife who plays while hubby is away: “. . . a note of a strumpet, then to trick up her house and to seek for guestes when her husband is gone a journey farre off. Then ought she to be most solitaire, and by abstaining from merrie meetings, to shew that there can be no greater
It Happened Last Night

NEW YORK, Feb. 23—All you culture-lovers
“Particular TAARTHA HERE Sy
Ancient Tome Puts Milady In Her Place
dampe to her mirth, than the absence of her husband.” ‘A wife's obedience to her husband gets Mr. Gouge’s attention. “To his commandments, readily to do what he lawfully commands; to his reproofes, carefully to redtesse that he just- . ly blameth . . . to be willing to dwell where her husband will have her dwell” Eee MR. GOUGE believes a wife should chop-chop. “Another particular instance of a wife's readiness to yield unto her husband's commandments is, to come to her husband when her husband requireth it, either by ealling her, or sending for her.”
The mere fact that a woman is married to a, |
man should be enough for her to be eternally thankful, Get a load of this: “Contentment is a part of obedience. It hath respect to a man’s outward estate and abilitie, in and with which a wife must rest satisfied and contented, whether it be high or low, great or meane, wealthy or needy, above, equall, or under that estate wherin she was before marriage: yea, though a man have been sometimes great in estate, yet, if he decay therein, and be brought to a meane estate, she ought to rest content.” Sate
SINCE the author is a fair man, he asks himself why he set down rules of a wife's subjection to her husband. He answers the question thusly: “To teach wives that it is not sufficient for them to obey their husbands in some things, as they themselves think meet, but in all things whatsoever they be wherein the husband by vertue of his superioritie and authoritie hath power to command his wife . . . to shew that the husband's power and authoritie is very large: it hath no restraint but God's confrary command, whereof, if a wife be not assured, she must yield to her husband’s will.” How should a husband be addressed? He should be called Head, Master or Man, “Not unlike to those as such as these, Sweet, Sweeting, Heart, Sweetheart, Love, Joy, Deare and such as these; Ducke, Chicke, Piggknee and Christian names as John, Thomas, William, Henry or contracted, Jack, Tom, Will, Hall , . , servants are usually so called.” SDD
THE SECTION entitled: “Of that fellowship which is betwixt Man and Wife, notwithstanding a Wife's inferiority,” is a classic and should be distributed to brides along with marriage certificates.
If you would care to peruse the tome, go to
the Central Library. You'll have to read it there. The book is too valuable to loan out. There are

He knows that Joe Jenks of Lynn, Mass, was the father of the fire «ngine (1654)—but he doesn’t know who was the grandma of the GString. Somebody told us once that Sophie Tucker was the first to slither out of a slip. & &
JOE KANE also craves to be enlightened on: “Who wore the first girdle . . . what gent put on the first toupe, or skull doily . . . who cracked the first pokes as an ‘m. ¢.’ . , . And is Miiton Berle still telling it?” Weé met Joe Kane because he's gone so far as to say that Cleopatra, who lived around
50 BC, wore a metal brassiere two inches thick

He says cclor TV was demonstrated at the Hotel Ansonia here in 1929 and that Betsy Flanagan, a barmaid of Elmsford, N. Y., made the first cocktail in 1776, for a soldier. She took a rooster feather out of his hat, stuck it in his drink, and punned, “N:w you've got a cocktail.” That's what Joe says, anyway “How do you know all these things?” I asked Joe. “I do a tremendous amount of research for facts,” Joe said, “and where somebody questions whether I'm right I say, ‘Vas you dere, Sharlie?’ ” * 4 & EARL’S PEARLS , . .

NEW YORK, Feb. 23—There is much moaning and rending of garments over the basketball scandals, but for the life of me I do not see how you can blame the guilty players too much or too hard. They have merely projected a duplicity
which, in major amateur athletics, is instigated by the colleges which literally bribe them to play. No greater living lie, for Instance, exists than the general university system of recruiting athletes, especially football players, and of keeping them on a pay roll of one kind or another while they play “amateur” ball. The professional amateur takes his dough under the table or around the corner from prepschool days on, and in time gets used to being bribed. Dough is dough, whether you get it from a rich alumnus or a gambler. — The professional football colleges, the big schools, have in past been mixed up in some of the shadiest deals in the history of ethical violation.
I remember one instance in which a major citadel of culture was guilty of literally “painting” a player, as a race horse's markings are altered to allow him to run as a ringer. A coach from another college hollered ‘copper out of sheer malice, although the masquerade of the tramp athlete did not concern him in the slightest.

WE HAVE already seen evidence of gamblers tampering in professional football. They caught a few, but they have not been able to catch the main tools of the fix. One gallagt athlete, still around, was so effective that the gamblers themselves at one time refused to lay odds on his team when this boy was in the lineup, because they never knew whether he was playing it straight.or throwing it one way or.the other, There has been plenty of gambler-influence in minow:league baseball, The boys were all set

Sees Colleges More Guilty Than Athletes
to invade major ball when the Alvin Paris football disgracefulness happened, and so much uproar was raised that the laddies decided to lay off for a while. There i8 no reason to exempt major baseball from susceptibility to the fix, More money is bet on it than is bet on racing. ® GS BD
THERE IS a form sheet of past performanc for baseball teams and players. The point-spread bet is heavily in vogue. Baseball is played by men. If you can bag basketball players and football players and minor league baseball players, it stands to reason that the major boys are bribable, too—especially the bitter young men who make mean and measly salaries on cheap-wage teams,
If blame can be placed, in the current cynicism of sports, it first must attach to the institutions of learning and the amateur athletic associations which fed and tended double-deal-ing and crooked standards in their eagerness to make big business out of the strong backs of Young boys.
The million-dollar stadium schools have bought and paid for athletic stars as coldly as the scouts for professional teams. There have been instances in which a college star could not afford to quit education for the pros, because he was making more in_college than out.

ONE OOLLEGE exerted political influence, actually, to have a man sprung from the armed services in order to use him as a player. All the old gags about being paid for winding the sixday clock or winning a monthly bet that the player cannot jump over a suitcase are true. Everything that you have heard about the amateur tennis bums is true—that is why they even refer-to themselves as “bums.”
‘This is why I cannot get too upset because a few kids take a good many dollars to throw a basketball game. Having been raised In a background of deceit and ethical double-standard the youngsters do not have to stretch their sensibilities too far to accept bribes from gamblers. You can blame the athletes for dishonesty, but the colleges should go to court and stand trial with
them, Morally, the colleges are basically more. _ ‘Mrs. Jossphine:Ktapa, +38, 1ist0d Charles’ Boyy' 02
