JUNE 12th. 1931 "uPMBEB FIVE Half of700"Typical Wives" Found Unhappily Mated New York Doctor Gives Percentage of Unhap py Wives Philadelphia, June 10.?An analy sis of happiness in the married life of 1,000 cultured American women, based on data obtained from personal physicians, was presented at the American Medical Association- meet ing today. It showed that girlhood experiences, taboos and training often thwart or destroy capacity for marital happi ness; and that about half of the 700 "typical wives" in this group are un happily mated. The report was made by Dr. Robert L. Dickinson, M. D., of New York city. "These 1,000," he said, "were what may be called the cultural American type. They were urban, of good fam ily background and education. Mar ried to professional men of moderate income, each with one or two chil dren, they were considered socially normal in the ordinary relationships of work and life. "They had an average of 161 chil dren per 100 women. The typical woman had her first child at the age of about 26, and wanted more. When the widows, the divorced and the re cently wed were excluded, 770 .re- ; mained as typical wives." Answers to questions about happi ness were distributed about fifty-fif ty. Three hundred and sixty-five ; made no complaints; 30 sometimes answered yes and sometimes no; 375 said definitely that they were dissat isfied. ? ?i ? tv_ rn?ir_ A3 cause Ol luuutppiucsa xji. i/iia- , inson found complaints about rela- , tives, money, work, management of children and the home were usually secondary. Among the dissatisfied 5e found in many instances evidence of "some shock in childhood related to the sex side of life," ( "Xhe effect of extensive education: al and religious training," he said, "is to intensify the cultural taboos of . fear and avoidance of sex expres- ?. sion." He found 250 seeking compensa tions that included the arts, religion, morals, culture, social pursuits, polit ical causes, over assumption of fam ily responsibility, worry over financial extravagances. Dr. Dickinson said he considers that he has dependable evidence that ev- . ery woman has the capacity for mar- | ried happiness, but that this capacity , may eventuate either as serene and creative or thwarted and destructive. All is extraordinarily dependent upon her early life. Factories and mills in North Caro lina spent $614,140,001 for raw mate rials, fuel and purchased electric en ergy during the year 1929. Income Larger Than Expenses Highway Patrol Reports 10,114 Violations b y Motorists, With 541 Ar rests Made Raleigh, June 10.?Activities of the State highway Patrol during the past month resulted in the collection of $14,898.72 in automobile licenses, fine3 and forfeitures, while the cost of op eration of the Patrol was $10,827.60, according to the monthly report made public yesterday by Capt. Charles D. Farmer, director. Sentences totalling 41 months were also imposed on of fending motorists. The difference in license revenue collected by the State was $6,796.72, while $8402 was paid in fines and costs by the 541 motorists arrested. No funds are collected directly by the patrol, but cars without or with im nroMr licenses are stored until own *-~-r? t ' ' ers secure the proper license plates frorr. the Revenue Department. Mo torists who are arrested are taken be fore officers of the peace. A total of 10,114 violations were noted by the patrol during the month motorists other than those arrested receiving warnings from the patrol. Cars running without the regulation three lights formed the m%jor class of offenders, 4,186 motorists having their lights fixed at nearby garages when stopped by the patrol, and 188 redeiviag cards requiring them to have their ears fixed within a specified number of hours. Otter tags issued , were: 199 for improper equipment b such as bud brakes; 100 for improper j license tags; 809 tor ears without t*f% 68 for kat t?cs> tri 7 for dal ...

Bonse Sees Victory of 1912 Declares People Look ing for a Democratic President and Roose velt Is the Man Manchester, Mass., June 10.?From the seclusion of his summer home overlooking the waters of the north Atlantic, Col. Edward M. House is keeping his ear to' the political ground. Through the medium of extensive correspondence with political friends in all pftrts of the nation, but particu larly in the west and southwest, the man who was for years President Wil son's trusted and confidential advisor, finds, he says, the portents point to a Democratic victory next year. "If the election was to be held next week, the country would go over whelmingly Democratic," he said to day during a discussion which in ' ? ? * __1 eluded the tariff and international problems. "The people are looking for a Democratic President," he asserted, and reiterated his preference, ex pressed last week, for Franklin D. Roosevelt, Governor of New York. He and Roosevelt are friends of many years sdnce both were associated with the Wilson administration and HoUse regards the Governor as the most available of all potential candidates for the nomination. House, who describes himself as a "moderate wet," declared Roosevelt is "the only available wet who is politi cally acceptable to the drys." He said he felt that the Smoot' Hawley tariff undoubtedly played a part in creating the economic depres sion and termed it "one of the most disagreeable" ever enacted by any party. It has put this country's relations with foreign governments on "an ir ritating basis," and would undoubted ly be lowered by the Democrats if ti ey were victorious. Despite his year3 he carries oji a heavy daily correspondence." Those to whom he writes include world famous figures on both sides of the Atlantic, many of whom he met while President 'T? Wilsons perauLuii ic|n<.nvu??..v ? various" European capitals, as a mem ber of the Supreme War Council, the council which drafted the peace treaty and the commission which evolved the covenant of the League of Nations. This is Col. House's 36th summer on the Massachusetts north shore and he plans to pass it as he has most of his previous ones. Walking and motoring are his only recreations. He does not golf nor play tennis and con siders the ocean hereabouts much too cold for enjoyable swimming. Two gray caiyn terriers are his constant companions and frequently accompany hirr* and Mrs. House on their strolls through the country side. He likes to make the acquaintance of young persons, in his jaunts through the town, for, despite his 72 years, his blue eyes retain their keen ness and his step its vigor and he pre fers the company of the young to the reminiscences of their elders.

' ? Scott Slated To Get Highway Job Cotrimissioner Expected to Name Wayne Man Prison Supervisor ? .? Raleigh, Jane 10.?Sam Scott, su perintendent of Wayne county roads, has received the approval of Governor Gardner as prison supervisor for the State Highway Comipiasion, and is slated to be appointed to this post at the meeting of the State Highway Commission here today, it was learned yesterday. ' Dividing the state into five major maintenance divisions, each of which is subdivided into five districts, and setting up an organization to take over the 45,000 miles of county roads is about complete except for confirm ation, Chairman E. B. Jeffresa said yesterday Engineers in charge of districts un der the former set-up of the State Highway CmuniBSton arrmcpected to head the five major divisions under the new set-up, with former assistant district engineers and county road en gineers directing the work in the smaller districts which make up the divisions. The 1981 Highway Act provides for the state to take over the county roafte for maintenance on July 1, and the state organization is expected to be whipped into shape before that date. Literary thousands of applications have swamped the commission since the new organization went into office shortly before the legislature closed. Corridors and offices at the Highway Building are filled daily with job seek ers, while ,the telephone, telegraph and mail bring additional applications by the hour. Completion of the or ganization for handling the work will materially lessen the pressure under which the chairman and department heads of the commission have been working. Another matter which will come before the commission today is the awarding of a contract for 25 auto mobiles on which Chevrolet and Ford dealers over the state are submitting bids. The automobiles will be fur nished district engineers for their work. Convicts receiving as much as a 60 day sentence on the county roads will be worked and carted for by ihe State ? Highway Commission, which is setting up a department of convicts in the commission which Mr. Scott is ex-1 pected to direct. Around 3,000 con' victs will be taken over by the High way Commission when it takes over -? 1 * numha* mgv cvunvy IVAUOI OMU be increased later.

After tte' banquet :a<, dance. was sponso Legi WjjMZM.; |>jsSSZi This Week Washington ". 'J- ^ Washington, June 11.?President Hoover's frank appeal to all citizens of the country to aid him in his ef forts to restore normalcy is consid ered by political' observers here to be one of his greatest speeches, ft was delivered at Valley Forge, and the President used General Washing ton's troubles in Revolutionary days as a background against which to pic ture present difficulties. Mr. Hoover's greatest drawback has been the way the general public has pictured him as a cold; calculat ing machine, undemocratic in the ex i treme. At Valley Forge he touched every one'3 heart by the short expres sion, "I have my troubles also." That phrase, following his assertion that there could be no hope for a change in the financial or employment situa tion through governmental agencies alone formed a plea for help that will do more to win him support than any thin gelse he could have said or done, it is thought her*?* Mr. Hoover's words carried convic tion, both from what he said and the way he said it. Radio listeners, who must have numbered millions, heard a warm, logical, sympathetic voice speaking to them, a voice vastly dif ferent from that heard in the few campaign talks he made, which many campaign workers at that time assert ed were of little benefit in winning vote| because of their mechanical de livery and precise phraseology.. The President unquestionably won many warm supporters by his Valley Forge speech and it will probably be translated into much helpful activity, on the part of those who had felt that Hoover's voice was more the voice of big business than a fellow citizen, sorely tried by the mishaps of drought and financial unsteadiness that overcame the country in the first two years of his administration. Wheat corners have intrigued the imagination of growers for three gen erations, in which time Jim Patten, J. Ogden Armour and others have head ed purchases of wheat that staggered the country. The Federal Govern ment has just successfully managed the greatest corner of wheat in his tory, not even being able to make the front pages of newspapers with be cause the element of uncertainty was lacking. Carrying 250," 00,f 00 million bush els, as it did, at a price varying from around 81 to 81 cents, there has never been a question that the bottom of the nation's pocketbook would ever be reached, forcing the "pool'' to dump its holdings with a consequent terrific drop in price. The poql was engim eered by the Grain Stabilization Cor poration, the Farmers' National Board and the Federal Farm Board, all gov^ emment institutions, While the pool has cost the coun try money, yet the loss to individual farmers would have been enormous had the corner not been run and the country would have .ultimately have been carried through. Due to the gov ernment's trading, all operations have been accomplished in an orderly man ner and deliveries have been prompt at a^ times, Retirement of Charles C. Teague, California vice chairman of the Farm Board, which became effective on the first of the month, served to focus attention on the many cooperatives fostered by the government during his tenure of office. The institution of the revolving fund during Teague's work with the board .enabled produc ers to weather many storms of low ered prices, due to the adoption of systems for pw*6 orderly marketing of farm produce. Teague declared in his letter made public by the President, that govern ment aid alone had saved many of the cooperatives from perishing in their early operations and that as the beneftts of the Agricultural Mar keting Act become -better known, tKe growers will hail it as one of the most constructive measures of the present administration. say3 he is firmly convinced that more progress has been made in marketing food products in the past two years than in any pre vious ten-year period in the country's history. A curious finding was uncovered by the Department of Agriculture this month. It Is that wheat ranks sixth in importance in all crops and not first, as many believe. It is exceeded by cotton, milk, hogs, cattle and calves, and eggs and chickens. Cot ton accounts for 14.69 per cent of tfie average farmer's income, milk being a fraction less. Wheat averaged only 7.89 of the total income from farm S I a-mrionSpen^""! ?a. 57- "i1 i Maxwell Talks On State Affairs Revenue Commissioner Addresses Rotary Club at Greenville Greenville, June 10.?Legislation passed by the last General Assembly will have a far-reaching effect in re lieving the abnormality which has ex isted in the economic life of the State the last several yeara, is the belief of A.

Peo ple demanded the spending of enor mous sums for improvements, and ac tually went beyond their ability to pay. It is highly important that all units of government attempt to meet their obligations as promptly as possible, he said.

The damage Vas estimated at $200,000. . The blaze, of undetermined orig in, originated in the warehouse short ly after 3 a. m. It was brought un der control after four hours of fight ing. The building was located on the waterfront at the foot of Craven street. The boats were tied up, at the dock. One barge and the tug burned and sank at the dock. The other barges, which were empty, was cut <free and floated in flames down the Neuse river, The Carolina" Distributing Compa ny owned the boats. One barge was valued at $40,000 and was insured. The other barge and the tug, valued at $30,000 and $25,000, respectively, were not insured. Twelve thousand bags of sugar, roughly worth $60,000, were stored in the warehouse. They were owned by the Pennsylvania Sugar Company and had been shipped here for distribu tion. Representatives of the company here said the sugar was insured. Other contents of the warehouse in cluded spft drink stocks of the Caro lina Distributing Company, estimated by officials of the company *o be worthy $20,0000. They were partially insured. The building ^nd docks, valued at $25,000, wefe insured. The warehouse was owned by E. K. Bishop. Investigation this morn ing failed to reveal the origin of the blaze. The fire was fought without seri ous accident. Two firemen, Alfred Ka fer, Jr., and Gates Matthews, suffer ed slight injuries. They; received treatflJSTlt at VhospitaVSn^Wre dis charged.

Lupton, fish dealer, who discovered the flames. They were all asleep on the barge when awakened by Lupton. He left, but before the others got ashore the fire burned the line holding the barge to the dock and the wind sent the boat against the other blazing barge. Lupton secured a motor launch and took them off. Captain QuidlejPs clothing "was scorched and Lupton's clothes were ignited before the rescue was effected.

President's Nephew TeUs Of Shooting of Mexicans Two Oklahoma Deputies Bound Over on First Degree Murder Change t Ardmore, Okla., June 10.?Salvador Cortes, Rubio, black eyed nephew of the President of Mexico, told the story today of the slaying of his two school mates, motoring with, hili from a Kan sas academy to then uomes in Mexi co City. His chums, Emilio Cortes Rubio and Manuel Garcia Gomez, were shot to death here Monday night by Deputy Sheriffs William Guess and Cecil Crosby. The deputies were charged with murder today as representatives of the Mexican government, Oklahoma authorities and as many townspeople as could fight their way into the court room, looked on. The deputies were bound over for trial on first degree murder charges after Salvador and several other wit nesses had described the shooting. "The deputies drove up while I was standing by the side of the car," said young Salvador. "I heard shots and saw my companions fall." . "Were your companions boister ous?" asked M. C. Gonzales, a repre sentative of the Mexican government. "No, we were quiet," replied Sal vador. "We made no untoward move ment." Undrr cross examination by De fense Attorney Sigler, Salvador said that the deputies did not show their badges until after the slayings. Theodore Corgerson, a paint dealer, pointed out Deputy Sheriff Cecil Cros by as the man who shot Manuel Gar cia Gomez. previously Deputy Sheriff Guess had said he was the one who fired the fatal shots into the bodies of both victims. "I got that old boy," Corgerson quoted Crosby as telling him when the paint and paper dealer arrived at the place where the youths were slain. . "This shooting was a grave mistake attributable to crime conditions in America," said Father Monott, at the funeral service for the youths shortly before the hearing began. Immediately after the preliminary hearing for the two deputies the bod ies were placed on a train and started for their homes at Mexico City.^ The bodies were accompanied by Salvador Cortes Rubio and two personal representatives of the gov ernor of Oklahoma. The latter will leave the funeral train at the interna tional border. Mexican Paper Denounces American Police Methods Mexico City, June 10.?The news paper Universal Grafico today de clared the "assassination" of the two Mexican students, Emilio Cortes Ku bio and Manuel Gomez at Ardmore, Oklahoma, shows the slight import ance placed on the lives of foreign ers, especially Mexicans, in Southern States of the Urfited States. The paper added that at least there was hope that the incident at Ard more would serve hereafter to restrict the "right of police to kill for mere sport."
