MARRIED SIXTY YEARS,
THEY TELL HOW TO BE
i HAPPY ALTHOUGH WED
Mr. and Mrs. J E. Bitting Found
Secretin Simple Devotion, Non
interference and Determina
tion to Keep Young
' ' EACH GIVES, BLISS RECIPE
Rules of Life Designed
to Produce Happiness
THE HUSBANDS
NOT too many parties with "the
boys."
Love each other.
Please each other all the time.
Don't side with the kids against
the mother.
THE WIPE:
Feed the man be a good cook.
Don't make him do your work
take care of the children.
Don't make him walk the floor
with the baby do it yourself.
Be sweet-tempered In the morn
ing the. rest of the day will take
care of itself.
Dance to keep young tho new
dances nre fine for this. '
Sixty years ago today, a young cooper
and, a pretty little 16-year-old lass wero
married nt tho Old Swedes' Church.
And all through the years they have been
happy together. In these days ot divorces
and unhappy married lives,, the old couple
Is such a marvel that today reporters hied
them to their cozy home, 341 rorter Btreet,
and asked for advlco on "How to Bo Happy
Though Married."
And tho old couple, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
E. Hitting, wero gracious and patient and
gavo advice In plain "homey" language
Each blames the other for the blissful
tato of happiness In which they havo lived
together all theso years.
ADVICE TO TOUNO.
"When seen today, the 77-ycars-young
brldo was doing tho family washing. She
was .elbow-deep In snowy suds when tho
reporter called, but she smilingly stopped
her work nnd answered questions.
Her first nnd most Important rule, sho
says. Is "Feed tho bruto." Sho Is suro that
In tho way to a man's heart, nnc) her first
advice to girls who aro contemplating mar
riage Is, "brush up on your cooking."
Sho says Bhe feels Bho kept her husband's
lovo and made him happy by becoming the
best plo .maker In tho neighborhood. Sho
warns girls who cannot cook that they are
making a beellno for tho divorce courts
and says that burnt steak, soggy potatoes
and "dish watery" coffee aro calculated
to start small family storms which In time
gather tho strength of a tornado, eventu
ally wrecking all married happiness, and
leavo tho wlfo and children stranded.
Sho believes that a woman should do her
hare of tho homo-making by taking caro
of th6 children and not expecting tho man to
walk tho floor nt night with crying babies
after ho' ha3 been away all day earning
money to keep a roof over tho family's head.
DANrCE TO KEEP YOUNG.
Mrs. Bitting insists that people should
havo hobbles to keep them young. Sho
advises all wives against Interfering with
their husband's hobbles. She also advises
wives to allow their husbands liberty, and
not expect to "tlo them to their apron
strings."
One of Mrs. Sitting's hobbles Is dancing.
' She holds that dancing keeps ono young
and spry. Sho herself knows and dances
the fox trot, the .one-step, the turkey trot
and tho now Philadelphia six.
The husband, who was 87 on July 14, has
a few rules which he says aro .conducive to
married happiness.
He 'says first: "If you would be happy,
. don't havo too many'partlcs with tho boys.
' Remember after ydu aro married you havo
Tydur wlfo and home and should stay there
many evenings."
"Love each other," Is Mr. Sitting's second
rule, while his third Is, "Please each other
all the time." Ho is strong In his advice
about not making his wife a drudge, for
he Is of the opinion that a woman who Is a
drudge Is not a -companion and a comrade,
and that to be happy wives and husbands
must be comrades. He also says It Is not
fair to blame the woman for all failures, as
many men do. He advises a man to get a
' Job and hold on to It for all It Is worth.
SIDING WITH THE "KIDS."
Taking sides with the "kids" against the
wife Is one of the most dangerous reefs
for the married couple t6 avoid, according
to Mr. Bitting, who declares this Is one of
the easiest ways to break up a home.
Mr. and Mrs. Bitting have had five chil
dren, three of whom aro still living. They
have five grandchildren and thirteen great,
grandchildren.
The sixtieth wedding anniversary was
. celebrated last Sunday at the home of the
couple's grandchildren, Mr. and Mrs. John
, TV. Crooks, 341 Porter street, where Mr.
and Mrs. Bitting how live. There were CO
guests. Four generations were present

HEAT PERSISTS; NO SIGN
OF RELIEF; TWO VICTIMS
Humidity Starts Day at 91 and
Temperature Will Climb.
Old Men Succumb
The oppressive humidity of the last 17
days Is still with us and there Is no ImmedU
ato prospect of Its departure. With two
deaths attributed to the uncomfortable hu
midity this morning and no rain predicted,
It seems probable that Philadelphia Is sched
uled for another day of sweltering and
suffering.
Tho heat victims were John J. Smith, ii
years old, nn Inmate of the Old Men's
Home, at 39th and Daring streets, and
Frnnk Lcltcnhclmcr, 76 years old, of JB47
Collins street, Smith had been Injured
somo weeks ago and was expected to re
cover. Lettcnhelmer died In the Episcopal
Hospital from heart disease caused by the
strain of .tho hot spell.
It is pointed out by the weather experts
that for 17 days, beginning with July 9,
there has been only ono absolutely clear
day In Philadelphia. This was Tuesday,
July 18. There In no report of rain nt tho
United States Weather Bureau for July 12,
but thunder was present during a part of
the day. Likewise on Monday tho central
section of the city escaped rnln. although
West Philadelphia and northern sections
had showers, as did suburban districts.
From July 1 to July 8, Inclusive, there
were only two rnlny doya nnd the precip
itation was slight, but only four of those
eight days were actually clear. One Is
recorded ofllclally ns cloudy and three
others ns partly cloudy. On July 3 and S
there wero slight downfalls. Slnco July f
thero havo been 11 cloudy days and the
remaining six were partly cloudy, oven
July 18, which stands forth without rnln.
Just how extraordinary aro tho atmos
pheric conditions which have proved so
oppressive1 to Phlladetphlans Is shown by
recourse to past records In tho Weather
Bureau. During tho 17 days' period from
July 9 to July 2S the nvcrage humidity
has been SO per cent, although normal for
the month is only 60. From 1888 to 1910,
Inclusive, tho humidity In July averaged
Gl per cent while tho years since then hnve
been about tho same. In 1911 tho average
for July was 59 j 1912, 60: 1913, 68; 19H,
63, and 191S, 64, Away back In 1888 the
average for .tho month was only 69 per
cent.
There aro four years known to the
Weather Bureau with conditions nearly ap
proaching those of the present tlmo. They
wero 1889, Whet, the humidity averaged 60 :
1897, when it averaged 67; 1901, with 64,
and 1914, with 6B. Of course whtlo tho
average for the last 17 days Is 80 degrees,
the lower records for the remaining 14
days of tho month will cut tho monthly
average somewhat, ,but It seems certain to
go far over 70 per cent.
