QUESTIONS FOR WIVES.
Judge J. C. Ouinn, of California, has gained
j a national reputation as an authority on di
| vorces. Hundreds of such cases have been
j aired in his court - and he thinks he knows the
remedy for such a condition,
j . In fact Judge Quinn has mapped out ten
j questions for wives and where the wife will
; tarry them out, he says, there will be complete
l happiness in the home in which she lives. The
j Gastonia Gazette carries the ten questions as
| laid down by Judge Quinn and expresses the
opinion that couples in North Carolina get
; along all right where the wives can truthful
■ ly answer in the affirmative the questions
which follow:
1. Do you take into regard your husband’s
income before you spend money?
2. Do you comb your hair and dress neatly
for breakfast.
3. Do you put thought into your cooking?]
4. Are you willing to stay home at night
“with your husband when he is tired from a
day’s work?
-o. Do you allow him the comfort of smok
i ing in the house?
j 6. Do you control your impulse to nag?
?. Do you take an interest in his business?
B.‘ Do you bother him with all your petty
I household worries, or do you try to make
yourself as agreeable a companion as you did
I before your marriage?
I- .9- Do you make your home pleasant for his
friends?
10- Have you gotten over the tendency to
ward jealousy?
The wife who fulfills the perfect mate out
lined in the questions of course, would make
anyone happier, but how about the husband?
Does he help his wife in her determination to
do just the things that please him and are best
for him?
It would be just as easy to find ten ques
tions for men and they would be just as itrl
portant to the happiness of married people as
the qnes outlined by Judge Quinn-. -
The nagging, thriftless, indulgent, careless
wife is a handicap, of coursfe, but all the blame
can t be put on the wompn. The men have
duties and they are just as important to the
happiness of the home as the duties of the
wife.
BANKS LIBERAL TO THOSE WHO AD
VERTISE.
F{ank L. Blanchard, of Henry L. Doherty
& Company, of New York, told the Public
Utilities Advertising Assosciation at its recent
annual convention that companies which ad
vertise regularly get more favorable attention
from bankers than those companies which do
not advertise. Why? Because the banks fed
that “a company that hjs, advertising,
won the good will of the public, is more likely
to retain its position in the community as an,
imp<srtaht (business enterprise than a com
pany that does not advertise and therefore
does not have the hold upon the residents of
the city that the former company has.”
Mr. Blanchard mentioned eight specific pur
poses for which advertising can be profitably
used hv public utility companies:
1. To sell the company’s securities, service
ahd .merchandise.
2. v To keep stockholders and customers in
formed affairs o i the company
and thus promote their interest in it.
I. to snake known to the general public!
the, dumpapsj.’l; polities its methods of doing
jbt&impsAi.ts's personnel and its.'plans Toj-iih
provingjts servic't. \ i
| 4. to defened itself when unjustly attacked,
and especially by; politicians who hope to pro
mote their Vahdldaty for o#ice.

pose financial obligations that would be un
justly burdensome.
6. to promote public good will by encour
aging thrift, 'promoting safety, building up
commercial enterprises and helping to make
the city a better place in which to live.
7. To give reasons why it has applied to
the State utility commission for permission to
raise its rates.
8. To present arguments for the renewal of
its franchise.
The attitude of Jhe New York banks as!
shown by Mr. Blanchard is characteristic of >
business enterprises everywhere. The com
pany which advertises has all of the advant
age and the bankers know it.
DRINKING AT LEGION CONVENTION.
i.
i Members of the American Legion in North
Carolina added nothing to their prestige by
their conduct at the Hickory convention. We
are willing to give the Legionnaires the benefit
’ of the doubt and agree that conditions were
; not as bad as pictured, but at the best condi
tions were worse than they should have been, j
In commenting on reports from Hickory, R. <
R. Clark, writing in The Greensboro News, j
says conditions in Hickory during the conven- j
tion must have been similar to those enacted!'
at all conventions prior to prohibition. Then, j j
it will be remembered, many people just went | [
on conventions so they could imbibe as freely I s
as they wanted to of liquor and beer. It was ,
not unusual to see drunken men and then as v
now they always made disgusting scenes of
» themselves.
I Mr. Clark also is of the opinion that the
generous supply of liquor on hand for the
■ convention substantiates the charges of Pro
hibition Administrator Ben Sharpe that liquor
is plentiful in North Carolina. It must have
l been plentiful in Hickory, at least, and as many
of the delegates undoubtedly carried their
i private stock with them, it must not be so
: scarce in North Carolina.
North Carolinians love the American Leg
ion, its members and its work and the organi- j
zation should take greater care of its conduct j
lest it lose out in the esteem of the people. The ]
fact that Legionnaires fought gallantly for j
their nation does not give them the privilege !
of making drunken asses of themselves. The I
real hero is he who obeys his country’s law as |
well as fights for his country’s safety.
MANY PUBLIC UTILITY STOCKS.
More than 236,000 customers of electric;
light and power companies purchased the se
curities of those companies during 1925, and j
it is estimated that customer-owners of the i
industry now number 1,183,410.
The capital invested by this group of secur- j
ity buyers is put at about one billion dollars, I
or a little less than one thousand dollars apiece, j
The customer-ownership plan, or the sale of j
securities direct to the consumers of the com- \
pany’s service, was initiated in 1914, and has |
since been adopted by 226 electric utility com-!
panies serving communities having an aggre-j
gate population of more than seventy-five mil-j
liions. Eighteen companies undertook their!
first customer-ownership sales in 1925.

typhoid in the state.
High Point Enterprise.
Eighty-nine cases of tyjdioid developing in one week in j
a state with a population of nearly three million peo
ple. the majority of whom live without the benefit of sau
itary measures that urban populations possess cannot be ,
considered proof of an epidemic, but the fact should
put on guard the public health authorities everywhere.
Eighty-nine cases are less than one to a county, but they
are several times as numerous as they should be in a
state thoroughly alert to the danger of typhoid and pre
ventative means.
The anti-vaccinationist raises his voice from time to
time, against any sort of bacterial inoculation to im
munise the subject of treatment, but the anti-typhoid
vaccine has proved its merit so positively that there
should be no great hes'tation at using it on the part of
those who fear the disease with special reason to fear it.
Many North Carolinians coiiie within this classification.
Self-protection is almost impossible under living con
ditions which cannot be avoided by thousands in this
state. Inoculation with the antibodies relieved the army
of its dread of typhoid and it has saved many civilian
communities from epidemics of the disease. It .is an ex
cellent weapon to use m the light against the dangerous !
ailment.
HEAD WHEAT WITH 88 GRAINS.

THE COtJCORb tour TRIBUNE
Struggle Betweenthe Mexican
Government and Catholic Church
City, Aug. 27.—hW— The
struggle between the Mexican govern
tueiit and the Roman Catholic Church
in Mexico is the most recent climax
of 11 more or less active controversy
that has been smouldering for seventy
years.
Rarely before iias it taken such a
1 dramatic turn as dring the past weeks
) since July 31st. when the govern
ment’s'' new religious regulations, on
1 forcing the 130th clause of the Con
stitution of 1917. went into effect.
The church has battled with one of
its most powerful weapons, which has
been described as virtually a “partial
interdict’’ By the withdrawal of all
priests from participation in their of
fices. The government has answered
by placing lay committees in charge :
of the structures and permitting unin
terrupted entrance to their congrega
tions.
The church’s supporters, principally
the League for the Defense of Re
ligious Liberty, has called ui>on Mex
ico's 10.000.000 or more Catholics to 1
carry on an “economic boycott” and
to reduce to a minimum their pur
chases and pleasure seeking activities.
The government has denied that this
boycott has had any appreciable af
fect on Mexico’s economic life, Mex
ico City, apparently is not much as- j
fected, but reports from other districts '
indicate that it has been effective, and I
business men have been watching the 1
situation anxiously.
The church has stated, through its
leaders, without qualification, that it
will not countenance revolution, but
! the government is holding soldiers
1 ready for any eventuality,
j Iu general the country has ap
[ peared calm, although the closing of
j the churches on the night of July
| 31st, when the priests left them,And
the subsequent inventories taken by
| the civil authorities, have resulted
I ill some fighting and bloodshed.
The attitude of the government as
j expressed by President Calies and his I
| supporters is that the church qnd I
| State must be separated, and that the !
1 Catholic heirarehy must cease inter-!
! ferring- in politics. The church.
111 l rough Archbishop Moray del Riol
and other leading prelates, has denied ;
that it has meddled in politics, and
j assorts that its life and freedom are !
being threatened by a hostile govern- 1
| ment.
j The pope, himself, has been deeply
j affected by the struggle and has of
fered his personal prayers for allevia
j tion of the "persecution” under which
liis Mexican flock is felt to have suf
] fared. AVhcn the regulations went
j''ito effect, lie called upon the faithful
jof tile world to offer their prayers
j for their Mexican brethren.
The government regulations, in
j brief, are as follows:
No foreign ministers of any re
i ligioti may function in Mexico; church -
' ownership of property is forbidden and"
| all such property reverts to the State; -
i religious instruction in schools is for
bidden; religious orders, sprfl as con*
! vents and monasteries are forbidden:
\ priests and ministers are forbidden to
| participate in politics or to hold po
litical meetings, to criticize the gov
j eminent or criticize and oppose the
Constitution, laws or acts of the gov
ernment or to incite others to do so:
) outdoor religious ceremonies are for
! bidden as well as the wearing by
| priests of their religious robes out
| side of their eh arches or residences;
| periodicals of a religious nature are
| forbidden to comment on the govern
-1 ment's acts or to print news coneern
| ing the actions of the government,
i Punishments may rapgc from a fine
I of .>OO pesos, or fifteen days' imprison-
I ment or both up to six years' im
| lwisonmcnt or “additional” punish
j ment as pile court may care to impose.
! Trial by jury in these cases is not
provided. j
j Before enforcement of these regula- i
! lions went into effect on midnight, .
Jfl. v 81st, Archbishop Moray del Rio
j »“<* <he episcopate issued an appeal
I for the abrogation of these regula
tions and warned that if they were en
forced the priests wonld be ordered
from their churches in protest. -The]
government's attitude remained inflex
ible.
Those last few days before t'ne Isiur
dreaded by devout Catholics came,
were productive of some of the most ]
dramatic scenes in the history of'
Mexico. Thousands of worshippers,
startled by the realization that their
iwiests no longer would be,available j
for their offices, flocked to their .
churches. Rich and poo/, gently reared ■
and sturdy Indian women, trudged ov- *
er the sun-baked roads in bare feet'
to their favorite shrines. The slirmc
“Our I.ady of Guadalupe”, long 1
noted, was the center of a great pil- ,
grimage. v ]
The priests held services until some ,
of them collapsed from exhaustion. ,
w eddings. baptisms, continuations
took place by the thousand in Mexi
co s IJ.(KK) churches. Even then,'
they could not keep -up with the influx"
of Catholics who crowded the Aureh
es. As midnight boomed on July

■ 31st and the priests ceased their func
tions. there were thousands of their
flocks who had been unable to reach
them. ,
The civil authorities immediately
took over the structures to safeguard
j I'jeir treasures aud to make inven
tories. In some cases, especially in
, the remoter districts, fighting occurred
I iii reports of fully a score of deaths
! have been received. In some case
: soldiers fired uimn the crowds that as
! sailed them. In general, however,
j calm prevailed.
I Efforts to affect a compromise which
| might alleviate the conditions werb
made in many quarters, but apparent
ly with little success; neither the
('llllOll nor the state would recede
from their positions.
The episcopate, offered a truce pr ly
pnsal. asking the government to sUs
i pend enforcement of the laws until a
I plebiscite could be held on the entire
j matter. President Calies’ answer was
ADD MEXICO CITY .. 7
I that the government intended to en
-1 force the law and would not permit
I any movement to disobey it.
I Archbishop Moray del Rio, ex
l’, masted by the long contest and in
j feeble health because of his age. took
Ito ’.iis bed. His condition was not
I considered dangerous, but a lengthy
j rest was advised.
j A plot againstyhe life of President
] t’a’les was reported by police and sev-
I eral men and women were arrested.
Later, however, the police came to the
conclusion that the “plot" had been
chiefly wild talk ami that there had
been little indication that it ever
would have expressed itself by an
( vert act.
The constitution of 1917. as rotated
to the church, goes back to the con
stitution of 1857 which declared all
church property confiscated for the
benefit of the State and placed re
strictions upon the clergy. It was
the outcome of the reform war period,
extending from 1855 to 1,861. a war
| that was motivated by the govern
ment’s determination to strip the
Catholic church of its wealed and
power in Since then the
st niggle has contiihied * sporadically,
depending much on the attitude of
- government in power at the time.
Papal Nuncious. Catholic bishops,
priests ami nuns were expelled front
Mexico, church projtcrt.v was sized,
churches aud convents closed during
Loose years of controversy, although
the mass of the population remained
Roman t atholie. The most recent
expulsion of a Papal Nuncio was that
of Monsignor Carunna. an American
citizen, on a charge of entering Mexi
, co improperly.
Tile Mexican Catholic church, a
.schismatic body, was organized last
year. It denies the authority of the
pope and has declare*}, itself independ
ent- of Rome. High t'aurch dixni
taries have dcuourtced this movement
.vigorously.
_ln his present stand President
Calies has received the support of the
Regional Confederation of Labor and
its affiliated organizations, 4 which
staged a parade in Mexico jCity on
August Ist to demonstrate its support
of the attitude of the government.
