MARRIED WOMAN
HAS EASIER JOB
Dorothy Dix Says She Is
Better Off Than the One
Who Works.
By DOROTHY DIX.

TT is a matter Of general observation
that the su-called working women
meaning thereby the woman who
follows some gainfuI occupation in
the business OF professional world is
almost invariably much happier, cheer
ier, more conteuted. mere sane and
phnosophic woman than the domestic
v0man.
Yet. nine times out Of ten. the do
mestic woman has the easier job, and
the pIeasanter lot In life There are
very few self-suppOrting women who
earn enough money to provide thera-
selves with as comfortable a home As
the average husband gives his wife.
Outside OF a few actresses and one Or
twO women noveIists, there are no
women who make enough money with
their own heads and hands 10 buy them
selves diamonds and automobiles, but
there are tens Of thousands OF marrieo
women who have these Iuxuries included
among the perQuisites Of their Tosi-
tons
In addition. no matter how tired she
may feel, how her head may ache, or
what sorrow and anxiety she may be
enduring, the bJ SinesS woman must giTd
herself up IN Ter straight front. put
enough powder on her nose to hide the
raVageS Of her tears, and with a smiling
face take her place behind the dask or
counter.
The domestic v-omanrs work is not
so eXiEent- IF she doesn't feel well
she can let things slide TO large de-
gree She CTu put OF the dISd.EreeaDie
tasks until she is in the mood for them
She can find time for q nap or TO lie
down for an hour or two with closed
eyes in a darkened room, or indulge
herself in a good, refreshing cry

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY
Frank lnce Declares He Has Found
Process by Which Aluminium
Can Be Soldered.

Frank Ince, the we'll known me-
chanic, after four years of expert
ment, has discovered process by
which aluminium may be soldered
Therefore, if you have coffee pot
made of aluminium, you need not
throw it away ii it develops a leak
lit has been q common expression
among thinkers and machinists gener
ally that aluminium cannot be solder
ed, and in that case it seems that Mr.
Ince has developed something very
valuable to users of things made Of
aluminium. Many automobile parts
are made of this metal, and usually
when such part becomes broken or
develops a leak it is thrown away, and
the autoist Is put to the expense of
purchasing new part. Mr., lnce yes.
terday repaired an aluminium part for
an automobile, and declares that his
discovery was welcome surprise to
him, doing the work in as perfect a
manner as ii soldering aluminium was
a common practice among tinkers
Ince says that many times in the last
four years he became discouraged,
but he tried every new idea and at
last succeeded, despite repeated ex-
pressions of doubt by other mechan-
les.
