■ flaunts itself in tlie large cities and
■ food is heaped in the farm yards.
■ The facts however are simple. Ger-

■ of her meats: 50 per cent of her fats
■ anil dairy products. Farm prodtfte
■ now is reduced to about 25 per cent
B and the government is financially un-
B able to import supplementary food.

today."
There are manyvinstances of chil-
dren falling unconscious in school.
Public services such us sickness in-
surance companies and hospitals are
almost bankrupt. Berlin physicians
treating state-insured patients recent-
ly "struck." since in many cases
their nay did not suffice for car fare
to visit to their patients.
Bloody Revolution Averted.
It was recently stated that one
baby out of every ten now born in
Berlin goes to an orphan asylum. If
such conditions had come suddenly
they would have caused a bloody rev-
olution but coming gradually they
probably weakened the people so that
they lacked sufficient energy to revolt.
German authorities with heroic ef-
forts thus far have been able to pre-
vent a final social collapse by strain-
ing every financial resource recently
making a last desperate appeal to
public confidence with the rentenmark.
It may be true as is frequently
asserted that the German politicians
industrialists and rich land owners
bear a large share of the guilt for the
present conditions but any one know-
ing Germany must admire the heroic
efforts of thousands of administrators
nhysicians and relief workers who
have resisted the advance of famine
fighting every inch and the endur-
ance and dignity of the great mass of
the German people.^
TEXAS HAS A MAGNUS
।
0 Luthe Harris County Farmer
May Represent District.
Houston Tex. Dec. B.—Harris
county has its own Magnus Johnson.
From the seclusion of his farm at
Aldino O. Luthe farmer member of
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
and capitalist has come forward to
run for the state legislature on a. plat-
form similar to that of the Minnesota
farmer-laborite.
Like Johnson Luthe will make his
appeal to the farmers and laborers
He will advocate manv reformatory
laws that will tend toward better
ment of conditions for the two classes
of which he is a member. He expects
to carry their vote and win decisively :
"It ain’t right for state employes at
Austin to have to discount their pay
checks to cash them" Luthe says.
■’That’s what made me decide to run
for office.
“They spend a lot of money on a
university out in the desert ’’ he said
referring to the new West Texas
Technological College at Lubbock
“and can’t provide money to pay their
employes.”
Luthe says he is opposed to the Ku
i Klux Klan and the chamber of com-
merce. If elected he will work to-
ward cleaning up the state govern-
ment and placing it on a business
basis.
Luthe hasn't made an open an
nquijcement of his candidacy as yet.
He will do so though in the near fu-
ture he says.
Roughly dressed his hands knotted
and gnarled from coarse manual labor.
Luthe is worth over a half million
dollars. Recently he disposed of Hous-
• ton property acquired in prudent in-
vestments years ago at around 8700.-

' Mother-Son Instincts Led Boy 16
• to Wed Widow 46 Says Analyst
MRS. SUSAN TUCKER. WEALTHY AND NEARING 50 WITH
HER 16-YEAR-OLD HUSBAND BURTON S. TUCKER.
’ By JOSEPHINE VAN DE GRIFT
‘ Ridgefield Park N. J. Dec. B.—Did
’ some childish memory of bis mother
i lead 16-year-old Burton 8. Tuckler
of South Essex Mass. to. fall in love
* with and marry a woman approach-
s ing 50?
Did the woman who was formerly
r Mrs. Susan .O. Simpson of West
Gloucester. Mass. a widow and
i wealthy hotel owner consent to marry
- young Tucker to satisfy a thwarted
- maternal instinct?
On some such grounds would
s psycho-analysts explain the December-
May romance which is rocking the
staid New England coast and may
. lead clear out to California.
“Our love is eternal it will never
die” says the plump and elderly
I bride slinking her black bobbed locks
. and gazed adoringly at. her sleek and
t dark-eyed husband in tneir temporary
• love-uest here.
"It was love at first sight" de- |
• dares the youthful bridegroom “If ■
1 Susan hadn't any money I’d go to i
work for her with pick and shovel.”
William J. Fielding psycho-analyst I
t end author of numerous books on the
t subject nmong them “Sainty in Sex” i
I just smiles at that.
THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT.
It really is nothing at all to get
excited about explains Fielding for
something of the sort happens to all
of us only rarely docs it reach as
far as to the altar.
“What young Tucker saw in Mrs.
Simpson” explains Fielding “was
probably something which recalled a |
dim memory of his mother. It might
have been the color of her eyes the
contour of her face the tone of her
voice. .... .l
nTbe planting of this mother-
image in a youth explains why so
ninny young mon fall in love with
older women. Normally it expresses
itself by a boy falling in love with
his school teacher or some other wo-
man with whom he is thrown in con-
tact. Most of them outgrow it and
come eventually to marry someone
of their own age.
“Young Tucker just happened to
marry before lie outgrew it. Coupled
with this is the circumstance that
whether he admitted it to himself
he probably desired the material ease
which would come from marriage with
a wealthy woman.”
That the wealthy widow’s affection
for young Tucker is largely maternal
Fielding tliinljs is explained by her
self-expressed intention of sending
him to college then putting him .in
charge of her business affairs ant
eventually buying him u seat in th<
stock exchange.
“Normally” he says “a womai
who has been married once is auxiom
to marry again. A women of Mrs
Simpson's wealth and charm 1 think
would have no difficulty in securini
a partner of her own age. But sin
was dominated by her mother instine'
and so her aifectiops settled on vouni
Tucker a boy whom she could no
only mother but In a measure dicta ii
to as well.”
In the meantime the happy couple
providing a certain little legal tech
ideality about the bridegroom’s ag
can be settled are planning a litih
love-nest in California where for
tunately winter never comes at all.
