HOW A MAN PICKS A WIFE

After eighteen years of daily obser
vutlon of the way and habits of pro
spective homcmukers, Air. McGlennen
has come to the conclusion that prox
imity Is the chief determining factor
In a mau's cftolce of a wife.
In the long and volumtnous marriage
records the various averages of the
different vocations show that chauf
feurs and cooks are attracted by do
mestics, while tailors, dressmakers and
milliners lncllue toward still closer re
lationship. Salvation Army men choose
a Salvation Army lassie, the sea cap
tain picks a good housekeeper and
home body, while seamen genorally
fall In love, when ashore, with wait
resses who serve their meals. Mr. Me
Glennen> believes that good looks and
good clothes are not such on Impor

is all a matter of environment. The

the soldier, also the nurse who min
isters to him when wounded. Lunch
room proprietors more often marry
their cashiers, and so It goes on.
What puezles Mr. McGlennen, how-,
ever, is why a mariner chose a dent
ist's assistant as life mate and how
a street car conductor came to pick
out an octress for his wife. These ?r,e
exceptions to the generaj rule.

Use the Mind Properly.
Some people have to be entertalne<
all the time. They must have somtf
body to put interest into life for them
Hours spent alone are eternities. Wis<
folks keep pulet about this. Only th<
^rnsh confess to the world how omptj
thoir souls really are. They do It bo
cause they have no idea what it al
means. There will need to be eterna
vaudeville or some other show to mak<
them at all comfortable. And tin
hours spent add nothing to their per
sonai growth. It's not -what enters th<
ears that adds to life. That may havi
little or no meaning. It's what th?
mind appropriates and remakes with
In Itself that adds to life. And it's th<
ability* to keep the mind constants
employed that makes* the hours fly
It's the Rame ability to use the mini
that will fill eternity with pleasure.

TRUTH ABOUT U-BOATS
Undersea Terror Less Formidable Than
Was Supposed.
The trutih about the Gorman failure
in submarine warfare h? now being re
vealed in publications that no longer
cringe under the whip of a<n official cen
sorship that was without conscience or
honor. According to the Berlin Vossisohe
Zeituug, Germany lost 108 submarines
during the war, induding seven intern
ed in foreign port# and 14 destroyed by.
their own crews. This statement fs an
admission that 177 were sunk by the
Allien* and lost at sea. As most of the
U-boata carried as many >men as could
be crowded into thorn, the announcement
that 3,000 sailors were drowned in the
sinking 1h not .sunprising.; buit .the darker
tragedy is that the conditions of ser
vice on these vessels were so nerve-wrack
ing that several thousand sailors lost
their reason it ml were cotninirted too ifli

oftolie mutinous spirit, that spread through
the Iligh Si*n Fleet and at last destroyed
its morale.
A final cast of fortune in a battle
with the Alli?*<l Fleets could 'no 'more
be considered. The keeneet and bravest
men wore being drafted to the subma

horrors of the service became known to
every common sailor then refused to Join
the U-boats, and in the end discipline
utterly failed at Kid. The navy which
fri&d been -the pride of the kaiser, was
a aeirvice rotten to the core. British
officers have spoken contorrrptoualy of the
spirit\ that surrendered the High Sea
Fleet without striking a blow, but there
was no .fight left in it. If a?y other
navy had fairly flogged its men into a
submarine campaign that was odious in
