Famous Surgeon Diagnoses The Case Of
The
Worry-Ridden Wives
Husbands Often To Blame
FIRST FIVE YEARS OF MARRIAGE THE BEST
Mr. Aleck Bourne, the famous Wimpole-street gynae- cologist, believes that many women worry themselves into chronic ill-health-and that most of the worries are little things arising out of family life which their husbands don't notice.
Writing in the Medical World, Mr.j Bourne says!

Saw Her Husband
Shoreham.
For 40 years Mrs. Lilian Robotham, 70-years-old re- cluse, found dead at her home in Victoria-road, Shoreham, kept her broken romance a secret for fear that her husband's charac- ter might "let down" his old regiment.
They fell in love and were married
in 1890. Hut six weeks later he left!
A clash between the temperaments of herself and her husband may grodu- ally develop.

Then she received divorce papers from Portland, Oregon, accusing her of making her husband unhappy. He was described as a retired captain of the United States Army. "REVEALED TRUTH"

Sir John Simon, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, speaking al a Lengue of Nations Unlon meeting at Epsom on November 11. discussed the rea- sons for the failure of the League of Nations, and he referred during the course of his speech to the serious He effect of Japan's resignation. said:
The founders of the League of Nations strove to create a universal society in disarmed world. If the League has falled to achieve all the high hopes of 20 years ago, this is largely because it has not been unl- versal and because the world has not disarmed.
