Jvemuphasis On Sex Appeal
(Causing High Divorce Hale
Divorces are increasing in the United States because the
parties entering into the marriage contract haven’t the faint-
est awareness that the only valid reason for marriage is pro-
creation, in the opinion of Philip Wylie, noted author.
Asserting that American marriage is cracking up on an
unrealistic and ridiculous philosophy of romantic love, with
over-emphasis on sex appeal, Wylie states in an article in the
June issue of Cosmopolitan magazine:
“The only reason for marriage^______
Is breeding—breeding and raising
young. I feel certain that any cdu-
ple entering marriage for any oth-
er reason than child production is
not entering marriage at all.”
Part of the responsibility lies in
the fact that fathers generally
have shirked their duties toward
their sons nnd have left their up-
bringing to women he declarn.
“The great function of teaching
school—a function fulfilled until a
few generations «gr, by males -has
been recklessly delegated V women
—earnest,
miserable,
women who s-e enelsred by stu-
pid political m»chtne* failed school
boards,” Wylie state. ‘Thus the

New Slam Double Is (’.ailed
Ureal Bridge Development
Now comos good news for the husbands of bridge-playing
wives whose bridge losses have been resulting in a photo fin-
ish at the door between the proverbial wolf and their pay
checks.
One of the most brilliant contributions yet made to con-
tract bridge is the Lightner slam double, according to an arti-
cle by S. J. Simon, bridge expert, in the June issue of Cosmo-
politan magazine.
"The Lightner system calls for'*
the lead of an unexpected suit,”
the article states in part. “In other
words, if your partner has bid
hearts nnd subsequently doubles
six spades, the one lead he does
not want is hearts. He is shrieking
for a club or a diamond (probably
ho can rulT one of these suits) and
your holding and the opponents’
bidding will almost invariably in-
; dicate quite plainly which to lead.
| “To my mind the Lightner slam
* double ranks ns one of the most
I brilliant contributions to contra t
bridge yet made. It is simple. It is
practically fool-proof. It prevents
partners who play it from making
other idiotic slam doubles. And it
1 is mathematically advantageous,
j pu swap you all your asking bidn
for it and the Blackwood four-five
no-trump as well.
“When you double slam because
you think it’s going down anyway,
you stand to gain between fifty to
100 points and to lose rather more
than that. With the Lightner slum
double you still stand to lose quite
a lot of points. But you no longer
stand to gain only fifty points. You
stand to gain the value of the game
and the slam. Because otherwise
you think the slain would be made.
($ ‘So, for all practical purposes,
.ur Lightner double runs an aver-
age risk presenting opponents with
180 poinis rising to a maximum of!
940 (six spades, vulnerable, re-
doubled, seven made) and stand to
gain around 1,000 tu 1,500 points.”/
II we had been here a year ago,
all our thoughts would have been
about backing our lighting men.
Americans bought as many war
bonds as possible to help win the
war. Today, your Government Is
still selling United States Savings
Bonds. To you and every June bride
and bridegroom I say with all my
heart: New Back Your Future.

Uncle Sam Says
Jack Dempsey Picks Louis
lo Slop Conn l?i Less Tin.
Former Heavyweight Champion
Jack Dempsey believes that Joe
Louis will knock out Billy Conn in
shorter time in June than he did
five years ago when the champion
came from behind to chill Conn in
the thirteenth round.
After talking with both Louis
and Conn and taking into consider-
ation the fact that their long ab-
sence from the ring because of the
war has made an intelligent pre-
diction difficult, Dempsey has no
hesitation in voicing his belief that
Louis will do the job quicker this
time than he did five years ago.
“Today the big questions are:
‘Has Louis slipped and how far?’"
Dempsey states in an article in the
May issue of Cosmopolitan magn-
etic. “How much has his lightning
speed in punching slowed down?
They go for Conn also.” «
Dempsey believes that Conn has
he style that figures to give Louis
trouble—fast, clever, shifty box-
ng. And Conn is supremely eon-
Idont that this time he won’t make
the mistake of trying to knock
Louis out if lie is out ii tront on
points.
“But I not* alar :hst Louis,
r.ever one to hr««, has sn. 1 <i“ iz
certain ho can -*p*»t over Cor ,
and in quicker time t*p.r. he did
before," the termer Tjampior
points out. “From th* fine the/e
was talk of a return natch, Louis
expressed willingness—evt>n eager
ness—to meet Conn again, Ha h*}
repeated frequently that Pi"y Conn
would get the first crack h'n
title when he returned to the ti.-.g
after his hitch in the Army.
“No other inference can i.r
drawn from this except that Joe
Louis considers the Pittsburgh Ad-
onis a Christmas package, all dor-
up and ready to be opened.
"I can’t get away from tbo idea
that Joseph Louis Barrow >vi” be
the one full of dynamite - the
Yankee Stadium ring. So T ;oo'.
for a repeat performance ■ deb
will end sooner than th» t i t
show.”
This fool’s cap fits none of my
■ephews, least of all you, who
learned during the war that the easy
way to save part of your pay was
to sign up on the payroll savings
plan. I am visiting in Philadelphia
today. Philadelphia is the home of
the Liberty Bell nnd Benjamin
L ranklin, who said a penny saved
is a penny earned. If Frankiin wore
alive, he would revise this state-
ment to $3 saved in U. S. Savings
Bonds are $4 in your pockets ten
years lienee. Franklin would agree
with me that this fool’s cap fits only
those persons who think because the
war is over it is no longer profitable
for them to save by buying Bonds.

With opening night only two
weeks away, preparation activi-
ties for the 1940 season of
Starlight Operetta are going
forward at an ever-increasing
tempo. The curtain goes up
Monday night, June 17, on
“New Moon’’ the first presenta-
tion of the summer season, and
Lucille Manners, one of Amer-
ica’s most beautiful and talent-
ed sopranos, and Arthur Kent,
zonular vounp baritone at the
Metropolitan Oporn will he (ho
shnrs.
The singing and dancing
choruses have gone through nnd
Perfected the choral and danc-
ing numbers of “New Moon"
nnd “The Last Waltz,” the «ee-
ond offering of the season. n:so
barring Miss Manners and Mr.
Kent.
Carl Randall, Casino dance
director, has the dances for
the first two productions all set
and ready to go. Nine of the
eighteen dancing chorus mem-
bers are veterans of previous
Starlight Operetta seasons, and
with this experienced group of
performerrs as a nucleus around
which to build, Randall is con-
fidently predicting dancing en-
semble work to he the best yet
seen on the Casino stage.
The elaborate and heautiful
settings for “New Moon ’ are
workshop. Karl Koeck, scenic
designer, August Mayer, Knock's
assistant, and Albert Bye, chief
technician, are on hand again
this year to make the Casino
productions an eye-treat as well
as an ear-treat. Their efforts of
last year were proof of what
can be expected this season.

Ug Fish-Dickey Dell Doheny
Listed in Novel Name Club
Try to imagine an organization directorate composed of
persons with names such as Fice Mork, Dickey Dell Doherty,
Word Skaggs, Bourke Blakemore Hickenlooper, Almerindo
Portfolio, Reginald Aylmer Ranfurly Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-
Drax and Ug Fish.
There will be such an organization if there is uny justice
in the opinion of Stanley Walker, Frank Sullivan and Nun-,
naliy Johnson, three erstwhile New York newspapermen who
lightened the boredom of reportorial leisure by forming the
Novel Nomenclature Club.
“It all
happened
Worm, veteran press agent,” Walk-
er states in an article in the June
started when Sullivan^--!
to mention A. Toxen scribed as sounding like “strangu-
lated hernia of the thesaurus”;j
Gutzon Borglum, Phoebe Beebe, ths
well known law firm of Malevinsky,
Driscoll and O’Brien, an Oklahoma
gentleman with the very blunt;
name of Ug Fish, and many others.,
As the informal roster of th*
club grew it came to include such
names as Hoke Smith, Otto Floto,
and another Oklahoma gentleman;
of Indian descent known as Touchy
issue of Cosmopolitan magazine.
"Then Johnson brought up the
name of Hyacinthe Ringrose, the
international lawyer who used to
write dozens of letters to the news-
papers. Tn hold up my end, I told
them that only that day a young
man named Fice Mork had come
by my office—and I had his card
n prove that such a person exist-
ed.”
From that start the Novel No-
menclature Club was horn and ere
long it included such dillies as
Hickey Dell Doheny. which seems
to he a name arrangement of «
soft-shoe dance; Word Skag"
which ,i friend of the writer tic
Loins.
But to date the roster la headed
by the aforementioned Reginald
Aylmer Ranfurly Pluukett-Ernle-
Erle Drax, which, according to
Walker, “sounds like a man with a

bouncing out of a mudhoia
