Letters of a Worldly Woman

January l5
NY DEAR soN-There are great
MI many guesses as to why marriage
- is SO often a failure. Take 1t from
me that one of the chief reasons why the
wedding bell is so apt to get tangled out
of tune is because men go into marriage
before they are prepared Tor II, Whlch
IS as idiOtic a thing to do and as sure
fOreTunuer of disaster as if a general
should undertake to fight battle without
ammunition or guns or any plan OF attack:
/ don't want you TO stumble INTO one OF
these married On-tne-lmpulse weddings
son. and so ! entreat you not to put your
head in the moose until you are good and
ready.
| mean this in a spiritual. as well as in
a financial sense, for a happy marriage is
not the result of blind luck, son. 1t is
scientific structure erected on a carefully
laid foundation. If your Castle o Dreams
stands the stress of domestic storms it
must be built by competent architect
who understands his trade and show
his union card. not by a prentice hand
Now, my boy. marriage is the easiest
thing in the world to fail into and the
hardest to break out of. 1t costs a dollar
and half for a marriage license and
pretty much everything you We got for a
divorce. to say nothing of the fact that
you enter marriage with smiles and
light heart and obtain a divorce with tears
and wounds that leave scars that you
carry to the grave.
Go Slow, Son, and Consider.
Therefore go slow, son, when YOU fall
IN love with a girl or think that you have
fallen in love with one, and dom propose
marriage to her until you have set your
house in order and find out that you are
ready 10 marry.
For pity sake for your own sake, and
above ali for the woman's sake, don't
marry, son, unil you are sure you are
not marrying just because your fancy has
been captured by a pretty face and you
szlfishly and jealousy want to call it your
own.
Only marry when you have gotten TO the
time in life when a quiet home looks bet
ter to you than anything else on EARTH

ROCKEFELLER ON MEANNEss.

John D. Rockefeller never wearies of
Undressing on the young the folly OF
mean and parsimonious habits. In one
of his most recent interviews he said:
These miserly people reap nothing but
discomfort from their false economies.
Take, for example, the case of Mrs. Siias
Long of Sussex
" Martha said old Silas one fall day.
I think I'll go and get few apples from

RINCIpALLY ABOUT MEN AND WOMEN
By Dorthy Dix

No man has a right to marry woman
and set her down at home unless he means
to stay there with her. And to stay be-
cause he wants 70 stay, and not because
he has to. If yoa are not sure that you
love a woman we'll enough not to tire or
her. and not to want to spend your eve
nings in her company, for heavens SAKE
leave her in her own home where she
NAV marry somebody who will appreciate
her You are not the only man, son.
Also consider the money question, son,
and be sure that you can afford the lux
ury of a wife before you indulge your
self in taking one Never forget that
while courtship is run on the hOt-air plan,
marriage is a cash transaction, and II
takes money-and lots of ito support a
family.
Whenever you get TO thinking seriously
about marriage / want you to come home
and spend week with me in prayeTrul
study of my bill-bOOk. l want to grind
into your consciousness that there are
butcher bills and grocery bills and millln-
cry bills and dressmaker bills and dry
goods bills and plumbers bills and doc
tors bills and a thousand other bills OF
which YOU never dreamed. ana then when
/ you marry you won't throw fit, as l Va
| seen so many other young husbands do
when it dawned upon them that wife
| couldn't work miracles in the lOaYes and
fishes line, nor ciothe herself with air.
And to be happy, you must be ready
| financially to. meet these bills, for, believe
me, son, no matter how much people love,
! there is no peace nor joy in the house
where the collector is forever hammering
on the door, and where anxiety as 10 the
4 future of his wife and children tears at a
mans heart strings.

above an earlier level has resulted In stream
cutting, which obscures its original plateau
character. 1t Is in the extensive valleys and
on the adjacent slopes of the Yukon Tanana
and Kuskokwim rivers and their tributaries
that the interior forests reach their best devel-
opment.
The Rocky mountain region is a compare
lively narrow elongaton of the Rocky noun
tain system OF North America, and stretches
across northern Alaska nearly from east to
west. The mountains of this region reach
considerable though in no case a noteworthy
height. On their southern slope head many
streams which empty into the Yukon; those
on the northern slope empty into the Arctic
ocean.
The Arctic slope region lying north OF the
Rocky mountain region is composed Of roll
ing tundras, In which truly Arctic conditions
prevail 1t has been less explored than any
other portion Of Alaska.
In many places In the interior the post
glacial silts and sands form excellent soil,
and upon them whatever future agriculture
there may be in Alaska will chiefly be devel-
oped.
The climate of the southern and southeast
ern coast region of Alaska is mild and wet.
The annual precipitation at Juneau and Sitka
Is from 80 to 80 inches. At these points the
precipitation Is chiefly In the form Of rain, and
only during short time In the middle of the
summer are there likely to be days when rain
does not fall. In the mountains Immediately
above tide water. however, the snowfall is
very great This increases to the northward,
and at Valdez a winters snowfall of nearly
sixty feet has been recorded The lowest tenn
perature record at Sitka is degrees F.
below Zero and the highest 81 degrees. At
juneau the lowest record Is 10 degrees below
zero. and the highest SS degrees. The Sitka
temperature is but little cooler than that of
the northern part of Puget sound or of Scot
land.
Sharply contrasted with the climate of
southeastern and southern Alaska Is that OF
the central plateau regions of the Interior
The Pacific mountain system cuts of the
warm moisture-laden ocean winds so that the
Interior has semi-arid continental climate
subject to sudden changes and great extremes.
Satisfactory records are lacking. but such as
are available indicate an annual precipitation

including melted snow. As low as 80 degrees
f. below zero has been registered in winter.
and In the summer as high as 90 degrees. The
summers are short and comparatively hot;
the winters long and intensely cold.
Despite the low temperatures and long win
tiers of the Yukon valley there is ordinarily
a good growing season of at least three
months During much of this time daylight is
almost continual. and growth is rapid This
compensates in marked degree for the short
ness OF the season; and since the evaporation
is not great the vegetation Is by no means Of
an arid character Notwithstanding the small
precipitation The frozen subsoil is practically
impervious to water. which accumulates In
poorly drained areas and causes the many
swainps and "inuskegs."
The difcrentiations between forest types

The coast forests OF south

and British Columbia. The

The annual lumber cut In the coast
forests of Alaska is about 100000
board feet This consists almost en-

little used. There are about rs saw

rather crude in character and of small

output, probably more than one-third,
is used for salmon cases, and much OF
the best lumber goes into them.
The southern and southeastern
coast of Alaska has a much greater
timber supply than there is any rea-
son to think will be needed locally
for a long time to come. The perma-
nent industries of the region are fish

character of the country will forever
prevent agricultural operations OF any
magnitude. The total stumpage Is
large, much Of 1t overmature. and the
