WE ARE becoming a Nation o! buck-passer; The rugged tn-

dlvidualism of which we once boasted so loudly, when men and women

. accepted the responsibility

for their acts and felt that it was up to them "hhemselves ‘to make something out of their own lives, has practically become a thing of

the past. We don't even try to stand on our own feet any more, Everybody leans on somebody else until we finally flop clown on the Government. The national nlotto has become: "Let George Do It."

In especial has buck-passing dcve oped into the favorite famly indooi sport, and it you don't believe this consider some of the manifestations of it with which we have become so familiar that we have almost ceased to notice them. Take marriage. for instance. In the effete past. a man did not think that he had a right to nlari-y untl llc was able to support a family, but that small ' r detail does not bother the youth of today to any considerable extent when a couple of callow school children de- ,cide that they cannot live without each other. The mere fact, that the boy is jobbless and penniless does not deter them from eloping. They Just pass the buck to their parents and let poor old Father and Mother work a llztle harder and sacrifice a few more comforts to feed them and their progeny’.

A150. in the nast- whm P901116 married ml- keeps, and when divorce was considered a. disgrace, husbands and wives recognized their indi- vidual responsibility to each other. They knew that how a marriage turns out. isn't. luck It ls how much a man and woman are willing to put into it, how much work they are willing to do, how many sacrifices they are willing to make. And if the marriage failed they knew that they had failed. '

But now when a marriage goes on the rocks We never hear either the husband or wife blame himself or herself for the disaster. They don't even admit that they were guilty of contributory negligence. Each passes the buck to the other. The husband doesn't say that he was grouchy and hard lo live w.th, or that he was tyrannical and stingy, or a phllzmdcrcr. He says that his wife was a naggel‘, or she got tat, or that she bored him. Tile wife doesn't say that she was selfish, or a bad housekeeper, or that she got so absorbed in the children she forgot she had a husband. She says that he took her for granted, or didn't understand her.

In every divorce case the husband blames the wife for not making him happy, and the wife blames the husband for not making her happy, and neither one blames hznlseif or herself. Passing the buck has jus- tified them to their own consciences.

It was the Divisional-Inspector I speaking-item Oxtons. so he said. ' A man had been found dead and the circumstances were peculiar. Would Beck blow along and see what he could make of it.

Beck grunted- It was an lin- pleasant noise. Not at all com- parable with his normal, well- modulated voice, usually so quiet. He hung up the receiver and told himself that he might have known

He dlaLled for a squad car, l crammed his bowler hat on his graying hairs and pushed himself l Into a black overcoat. Ten minutes l later he entered Oxton-s Silk Store to find the Divisional-Impector awaiting him.

“It looks bad u: me," murmured the D-I, a tall, thin faced man with angular shoulders. "The Doc's giving him the once-over. He ought to be through by this."

The pair moved automatically across to the Chinese Department where they found the Divisional Police Surgeon in the act of rising from his knees. -

Morning. Mr. Beck. Queer busi- ness. Cause of death strangulat- ion, but I suppose you'll want a P. M. I wonder why he wa; wrapped in that roll of silk?

Beck nodded to Doctor Akel-s whose clipped conversation was not new to his ears, and transferred his gaze to the body behind the counter while the Divisional-In- spector related the facts as he knew them

You meanthe body was wrapped 1n that. silk and stowed away un- der the counter? How's the girl who found him? .

She's in the rest room. Just. l straight-forward faint.

You might go along and take a ' peep at her, Doc, mentioned the Superintendent as though the health of a young woman was, at that moment, of more importance than a dead man. It must have given her a tum- I don't like looking at dead men myself and I'm used to it.

Doctor Akerswent off with the constable who stood beside the counter.

Beck tiu-ned to the D-I. You got a flash, I suppose before the Doc came?

Yes, Mr. Bock. We wrapped him up again just aahe was found. One of the assistants helped us. A young fellow who was on the scene immediately the girl made the discovery. _

Not exactly a pleasant sight for such bright surroundings. mur- mured Beck. glancing at the multi- coloured silk rolls behind him and at the counters end. I suppose there's someone who can tell us wmet-hlng about the fellow?

I understand that the general manager. Mr. Peter Oxton, has been phoned for.

Beck glanced round the store. The shopwalker and the com- mlssionaire were roping off a small enclosure around the Chinese counter in order to divert custom from th; forbidden area until such time as the police had finished their Investigations on the spot.

The Superintendent walked across w the pair. That's thoughtful of you. he

commented. I should have 1m- ; agined that after whot has happen- . ed the entire staff would have been ' disorganized. ' ‘The shop-walker smiled, grimly. . We hava to think of our trade, air, ‘and I have given lnlbﬂﬂﬂﬂlm m” business shall proceed u usual- I hope that ta all right? It is car- tainly what Mr. Oxion will expect of us. If I may. sir.
