"Love makes the world go
around, but it is money that oils
the bearings,1' quoted C. K. Gan
ong, of the history, economics,
and government department, pre
senting the "Economic Aspects of
Married Life" in the marital lec
ture in rowler hall yesterday aft
ernoon. After Mr. Ganong talked over
the points on on outline handed to
each of the 300 who attended the
lecture.
"How much money should a cou
ple have to get married on de
pends upon the individuals" stated
Mr. Ganong. "If the income is as
sured and the couple vant to,
they can get along on 17 or 18
dollars a week to start with."
Budget Expenses.
"While the income can not be
controlled to any great extent, ex
penses can be budgeted so that the
young married couple will realize
where their money is going," con
tinued Mr, Ganong. "Control of
the money should rest with the
person best able to take care of
the responsibility, whether it is
the husband or wife. Both should
have a small personal allowance.
Should Wife Work?
"Should a wife work? It de
pends upon the individual case. If
the income Is large enough to pay
for house work to be done by
someone else it is perfectly per
missable for the wife to work.
However, if the income is not suf
ficiently large to cover this con
tingency, and the wife is going to
work, the man should help wipe
dishes."
"On the whole the economics of
marriage is an individual affair
that must be decided between the
partners," concluded Mr. Ganong.

becoming more and more con

opinions ranging nil the way from
"mind our own busings" to "pro

the point:
I From the Villanova college "Vil

our Monroe doctrine, and is lead
ing the world in protesting against
foreign atrocities . . . The favorite
comeback from the targets of our
denunciation is the request to mind
our own business and straighten
out our own domestic affairs be
fore we try to tell others how to
run theirs. There Is food for
thought in that retort."
From the Indiana State Teach

The Brown and White will In
augurate this week a special radio
news service with universities in
the middlewest thru a system of
short wave transmission by which
late campus news will be sent, via
short wave radio, to Purdue uni
versity and hence relayed to other
schools.
Last minute news dispatches,
prepared by the editors of the
Brown and White, will be trans
mitted during two scheduled broad
cast periods each week thru short
wave station W3HVM, owned and
operated by Robert Girdler, Ch. E.

First broadcast Thursday.
The first broadcast in the series
will be sent, in Morse code, at 9
p. m. Thursday. By special ar
rangement, station W9YB, oper
ated by students in conjunction
with the Radio club of Purdue
university, will pick up the broad
cast and relay ft to other midwest
ern colleges who have shown an
interest in the plan.
Plans are underway to make
tli3.se broadcasts of campus news a
reciprocal agreement, that is, to
inaugurate a return broadcast sys

of isolation and non-interference,
but when war comes it will be
public opinion, yours ami mine,
not the initiative of those in
charge of the government that
forces us in."
From the Middlebny College
"Campus": "Now under discus
sion in Washington is the removal
of the embargo on aims ship
ments to Spain.... The American
people have frequently reiterated
their intention of non-intervention
in foreign affairs, no matter what
issues are at stake. The only way
to maintain our isolation, if indeed
it is possible to do so, is to remove
the embargo on Spanish war ship
ments." The college press most of all
urges caution in deciding the
merits of any possible cause for
war. Typical is this statement by
the MaeMurray College for Wom

the people before the first army

Doetors give
health advice
According to Bloomington doc
tors and university physician, flu
and other contagious diseases are
no more prevalent this year than
in previous years.
Yet to be healthy, doctors advise
one to:
1. Get plenty of rest and more
fresh air.
2. If you don't feel right, re
main at home where you won't
endanger other persons by your
coughing and sneezing.
3. Eat regular meals, and keep
your system clean.
4. Keep away from persons who
seem ill.
If you have not been vaccinated
for smallpox within two or three
years, it would be wise to spend
25 cents at a drugstore for small
pox serum, and be vaccinated by
our university physician at no
extra charge.

Even if you do listen to the radio
while studying for tomorrow's
quiz, you'll still be able to learn as
much as if the house was quiet, or
at least, your brain will be as
capable of remembering what
you're concentrating on.
Research in this field was car
ried on last week by Dr. Neil
Warren's class in psychological
demonstration, the results of
which were nearly the same as
those obtained by surveys made
at Stanford, Northwestern, and
Michigan universities.
Dr. Warren took 15 students in
the class, and had them doing
mental arithmetic for two minutes
at a time. When he had obtained
the results, of their mental capac
ity, he subjected them to outside
noises, such as playing "Gloomy
Sunday" on a phonograph record.
They continued their mental arith
metic for the same period of time,
and when the results were tab
ulated, the statement that the
mind can continue work at the
same rate of speed, was again
proved.

6U. S. outgrows
capitalism'
Because government estimates
indicate that the United States
will reach its highest population,
153 million, about the year, 1980,
Ricard G. Tyler, professor of sani
tary engineering forecasts the out
growth of the capitalistic system
and vast social changes.
In the department of civil en
gineering Professor Tyler recently
has studied government population
figures in relation to sanitary en
gineering, and came to the follow
ing conclusions:
"Under a stable or decreasing
market which will accompany the
present declining population trend
it would be Impossible for any eco
nomic system based on profit to
survive.
Fewer Immigrants.
"Because capitalism can function
satisfactorily only with expanding
markets in which profits can be
reinvested for additional profits,
we will have much more serious
business depressions in the fu
ture." Recently a report of the United
States public health report pub
lished an article which showed
that the United States birth rate
is decreasing, and that we are los
ing more citizens than we are
gaining by immigration.
Reports of the census of 1390
showed the preceding decade had
an average yearly increase of 2.3
percent. From 1920 to 1930 the in

and since 1930 the yearly gain has
been but 0.7 percent,
