Not long ago a young man was ask
ed why il was that he did not still
call upon some girls OF whom he had,
a short time before. been very fond.
"Oh." said he, "it takes all fellow
makes to go to see those girls once a
month. Every time you go they ex-
pect flowers and candy. TO be taken
some place. and for plans to be made
to spend more money the next week"
This young man could not stand the
constant drain upon his pocketbook.
The theatre is a pleasant pastime.
Flowers are beautiful; in fact, we
should appreciate them more than we
do; while candy and fruit always will
satisfy that feminine craving for
sweets. But, after all. is not one
good, true friendship worth more than
all these things put together?
We are living too fast these days.
We crave excitement too much; we
want change. we wish for something

Doubtless not many women throw

MARRIED MEN IN LEAD
IN COMMITTING CRIME

More crimes are committed by mar
ried men than by single men, for the
simple reason that many offenses ex-
ceedingly popular among the former
are entirely impossible TO the latter.
One such crime is wife murder. How
could a single man murder his wife?
There are as wife murders in the
United states every year, and all are
committed by married men. Again
consider the crime OF demonicide. or
mother-in-law killing. It's practice is
confined entirely to married men. And
forget not the lesser felonies and mis-
demeanors. How could a single man
elope with his wifes sister? How
could he desert his children? How
could he commit bigamy? How could
he fiirt with his wife's maid2 How
could he be accused Of non-support?
What incentive is there for him 10
cheat the gas meter. swindle the in
stallment man or rob his brother-in-
law at poker? Being prosperous, we'll

why should he steal, forge. embezzle,
burgle or fight? The average married
mans peace and happiness depend en-
tirely upon his ability to placate, de-
ceive. bamboozle and mollify his wife.
This makes him an adept at all sorts Of
chicanery and subterfuge. and as a
natural consequence his ways grow
devious and oblique. The bachelor
has no such need for lying and no
such bent toward crime. We have
indeed, compiled list of sixty-fouI
/ crimes utterly impossible 70 q bachcloi
and a further list Of 237 which nc
bachelor. save under stress of unusual
and almost inconceivable provocation
would be tempted to commit This
makes 30t in all. Inasmuch as but

| stone, it IS obvious that the average
bachelors chances of becoming a
criminal are twenty-four less than
nothing.
