UNWIFEiy WIVES
TO OE PUT ON
PROBATION
Coogler Declares Undomestic
Women Are Chief Cause of
the Divorce Evil.
“Many husbands are started on the
hellward road by unwisely wives. I
find many instances where homes are
wrecked and husbands t)re caused to
fall simply because wives are undo
■mestic —have absolutely no knowledge
of the art of cooking nor the proper
manner of conducting a home. We
should have a rigid law to disqualify
all women for marriage who have had
no domestic training. This is the solu
tion of the divorce evil.'
Making this declaration. Adult Pro
bation Officer Coogler today announced
he intended to extend the probation
system to women. Any wife. *he as
serts. who is found incompetent, or
whose misconduct or lack of domestic
ity has provoked her husband to err,
will be placed on probation and will be
required to comply with the rules and
regulations of the system the same as
the husband.
■ There are many women who need to
be on probation and under the care of
the law just as much or more than do
their husbands,” said Officer Coogler.
“Os course, many men are natural!)
mean and mistreat their wives without
cause, hut, on the other hand, numbers
and numbers of husbands, who are
good fellows at heart and are hard
working men, are driven to the bad
through the incessant nagging of un
worthy wives and the lack of homelike
conditions.”
Leads in Home-Wrecking.
The “uijdbmestic wife” is charged by
Office’ Coogler as the greatest matri
monial evil of the day. In his labors to
redeem wrecked homes, he says, he
finds that the great majority of such
homes are steered on the rocks by this
type of woman.
“So many of our modern wives have
never had any domestic training.” said
the officer. "Thousands of them begin
working in stores and factories Just as
soon as they are old enough to leave
home, and then when they get married
they are like a ship lost at sea. They
know nothing about cooking, are whol
ly ignorant as to how to keep house,
and finally awake to the sad realiza
tion that they are totally incompetent
as a wife. It doesn’t take a guesser to
see the result. The home is soon
dashed on the rocks and the husband
goes to the bad. The next step is po
lice coupt—the wife tells a pitiful story
and the husband is placed on probation
and forced to contribute to her support.
Urges Law to Disqualify Unfit.
"It is not always the woman who has
worked out, either, who is undomestic.
There are hundreds of girls who spend
their time in idleness about the home
and in the streets, and never stop run
ning about long enough to take a little
home training. The matrimonial re
sult is just as bad in this case. Os
course, if the husband is wealthy
enough to employ servants —but then
that's another story. All husbands are
not able to indulge in this luxury.
"From my extensive experience
among wrecked homes. I have come to
the conclusion that we must take dras
tic steps to improve home conditions,
I am heartily 'in favor of a law that
will completely disqualify a woman for
marriage who has not been fitted to
properly care for a home and who is
not willing to stay in the home anil
look after it after she gets It. This
same law should also apply tn men.
disqualifying any man who has no po
sition and is not financially able to
support a wife properly. I am satisfied
that until we adopt a law like this the
grist for the divorce mills and the pro
bation court will continue to increase
with alarming rapidity.”

Allen's Ode to WomanMuffed.or —
YE SCRIBE GETSAN ERROR
Representative Allen, of Upson coun
ty, is certainly disgusted and all but
hopping mad at the way some of his
best campaign thunder has been kicked
around to his great disadvantage in
this engine of uplift newspaperwise.
Representative Allen made a fine
speech on the floor of the house the
other day, in which he went far out of
his way to say nice and complimentary
things about the bill which seeks to
make women eligible to practice law
in Georgia.
The house was not considering that
bill at the time—it was discussing the
county prosecuting attorney bill—but
Representative Allen didn’t care a hoot
about that. The opening to unload an
elegant line of talk about the fair sex
evidently was too promising for a wise
and circumspect legislator like Repre
sentative Allen to overlook.
Enter, the Villain!
So Allen cut right into the argu
ment. and before he resumed his seat
he had clothed lovely femininity in all
tike colors of the rainbow, set a diadem
of glittering things upon her alabaster
brow, beckoned her right up to the
seats of the mighty, and handed her a
diploma and a certificate of sweetness
guaranteed under all the pure food and
drug laws ever dreamed of.
Then the villain came upon the scene,
cleverly disguised as a newspaper re
porter. The villain seized upon Repre
sentative Allen’s kind words and mean
ly, designedly, and with malice afore
thought. set them down in his pa
per-r-r that afternoon as the words of
Representative Massengale, of War
ren! Then, exit villain, gibbering in
ghoulish glee!

G. Ballenger, of Myrtle and Third
streets, a popular and beloved matron,

Mrs. Ballenger,, prior to her mar
riage, was Miss Gorman, of Baltimore,
a niece of Senator Gorman. Her ill
ness came upon her while she was tak
ing a recent trip to Atlantic Beach.
Fla. It assumed no alarming propor
tions until recently, however, and then
the end came quite quickly.
Mrs. Ballenger, socially and other
wise. drew to her a large coterie of
devoted friends. She is survived by her
husband, two small children, her fa
ther and several other relatives in Bal
timore.
No funeral arrangements have yet
been made.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. THURSDAY. JULY IR. 1912
Massengale isn’t for the bill permit
ting women to practice law in Georgia,
the gentle reader will understand. Be
sides, Massengale gets a wire from
home asking him how about all that
airy persiflage he had been handing
out concerning the fair sex. and the
idea of a man of his age talking that
way, anyway! So Massengale got up
in the house to a question of personal
privilege, and read a good-natured but
pos-l-tive riot act to ye villain (still
cleverly disguised as a reporter) and
said he didn't say all that about the
women, although he didn't deny that
much of it might be true and O. K.
The “Some" Wrath of Allen.
Then Allen came down front, right
in the full glare of the footlights, and
said that, despite the villain’s false
whiskers and green goggles, he was
dls-cov-ered, and curses be upon him
also, for since the report went abroad
that it was Massengale and not Allen
who handed out all that elegant line of
talk anent sweet femininity, Massen
gale had been sent seven large bou
quets, nine boxes of candy, twelve
“mash notes.” three fascinating pho
tographs, and eleven scarf pins!
Wherefore. Allen declared that ther»
isn't any use trying to put things over
when villains cleverly disguised as
newspaper reporters are rushing around
seeking whom they might devour and
bent upon handing the proceeds of hon
est legislators’ pet bets to people not
entitled to the same.
Massengale sat right tight in his
seat, and didn’t rise to any more poin s
of offier. Somethin'- seemed to tickle
him mightily, too, as he contemplated
the ire and deep disgust of Allen, of
Upson.
