DON'T MARRY
DON'T
FOR LOVE!
By ALAN JOHNSON
NORMANDY (Near Guildford), Nov. 21.
V'T MARRY FOR LOVE; MATE YOUNG; BE- WARE THE THIRD YEAR OF MARRIAGE; REGARD CHILDREN AS THE BEST SAFEGUARDS OF HAPPY WEDLOCK.
Edward Westermarck, 74-year-old bachelor professor and world's No. 1 marriage expert. gives you this advice.
And he warns you that many cherished ideas of love, court-
ship, and marriage are fundamentally unsound.
The professor has come to Britain to lecture on social topica. To-day in the little old-world village inn at Normandy, where he is staying as a guest of his friend, the licensee, the Professor, who says he has never been in love, gave his five-point advice on love, courtship and marriage.
Don't marry for love,
"Love is blind, marriage is a good eye tonic. One should marry for companionship, love will come later. Love offers no real guarantee for married happiness."

"I got the idea that King John's jewels and plate might be here while reading on old history of Backing- ham," Mr. Plant said.
"One day I found a document in the chapel-which stands in the castle grounds, and, together with plans which were handed me by Lady Culme-Seymour,. I was able to plece l

"Many married couples fear the coming of children. The husband fears them either because he docy not care for children or because he cannot afford them.
"There are also married people who are averse to having children for fear the presence of a child should interfere with their love for each. other.
"These arguments have been grossly exaggerated; children should be regarded as the best safeguards for happy wedlock."
Divorce is not the enemy of marriage.
"Easy divorce would be the best remedy for marlini misfortunes.
"If two people find they have made a mistake marrying it is wrong that they should be tied for life.
"Divorce should be the means-of- preserving the dignity of marriage. by putting an end to unions that disgrace it.
The Big Danger "Women's independence is definito danger to married happi- ness."
Statistics show that when married women go out to work, the mortality of children is greater.

DIRECTING
ALEXANDER KORDA, 43-years-old Hungarian-born film genius, has surprisingly told Connery Chappell, Sunday Dispatch Film Critic, that he will never direct another film.
Korda reached this decision, which will startle the world wherever firms are made, because he thinks he is too old at 43 to direct films.
