m Italy went to war with Turkey.
1t is not for me to pretend to
a greater knowledge than German and
British journalists seem to possess

personal and national prejudices OF
these two races. Americans may be
excused If they refuse to see Italy

much OF Italy and Italians during the
past few months and, although I suf-

me to go 10 TripoH, 1 believe I IN
derstand some Of the Italian point Of
view.
Long before the war broke out
there was an interesting chat at
villa in Florence Those present In
cluded an Italian cabinet minister, an
American socialist agitator and dozen
eminent writer's of various national
tiles. Everyone knew that Italy would
fight for Tripol and everyone knew
that Italy would be right
Great Britain and Germany knew Of
ficially what I knew as humble jour
nalist Turkey knew it too, but Tur-
key does not count in this matter Tur-
key is no longer an existent state The
precious committee, which more or
less governs Turkish policy Is as little
representative of the Turkish people
as I am. In any case Turkey never
held TripoH in any effective sense.
Italy's fleet has held up Turkey so sue
cessfully that not man nor a ship
has ever reached Tripoh from the
porte. italy has a horde OF bandit

Turks do not count

AMan's Matrimonial Handicap By Dorothy Dix

Merely remark that the meaI isn't up
to her usual standard of perrecuon,
and il won't happen again
II your wife is given to women's
clubs and you object to them, don't
make the mistake Of soothing at ner
gatherings. Very few wives are rOOIss
and the average club woman IN point
Of information and argument can make
most men sing pretty small But
agree with her that clubs are good
for women of small mentality ana little
education, who have to have their
Browning explained TO them, but mar
vel that a woman Of her culture does
not go in for individual lines OF sruIy.
II your wife is mad about society
there is no use IN preaching to her
that a Woman's place Is at her own
f-reside- But you can make her homs
so happy that she will not care TO
roam away from it. Sitting alone at
night waiting for husband to come
home is not one bit more thrilling to
a woman than It is to a man, but any
wife can be broken Of the society craze
BY a husband who viii stay IN or an
evening and try to entertain ner.
II you want your wife to be thrifty
and a helpmate to you, don't bat her
bout her extravaganza, and knock the
way she manages. No woman ever
economies because her husband grOWls
over the bills. Instead she revenges
herself for grudgingly given matinee
money by going downtown and buy
ing q Paris hat But II you make
her a junior partner and make her
feel that your success depends upon
her help. she viii cheerfully make over
her old frock three times and sKimp the
butchers bill to help you.
Don't sink your lover in the husband
and you can wrap your wiFe around
your finger. Don't economic on ex-
pressions Of affection or stint your
wife in praise, and you may DO as
you viii in your home, WItncut rric-
ton or argument
Believe me, its no trick to manage 4

miss any. for you should always shut
the ducks in their yard at night
A duck is also a good watch dog. for
the moment that any stranger, or ami
mails come around they always speak
up You can keep a larger flock OF
ducks together than you can hens, for
they do not crowd together when IL Is
cold, but prefer to sit little separated
on the ground.
IS Another advantage with the ducks
Is that even the moulting time is not
any loss. for you can then pick them
and the value Of these feathers is about
equal to what the eggs would bring
during the same time. and what is
nicer than fine, soft duck feather

I do not know what is the expert
ence Of all the breeders, but I know
that my ducks paid no attention to the
cold weather and kept right on laying
all through the cold this winter. which
was without doubt as cold as we ever
can expect here
A farmer with a flock of these ducks,
would believe, get a lot of money out
of them, for they viii fit in around
the other fowls. The only thing is
you should have separate feed places
in case the hens should fight them
The market for ducks is usually a good
one. and il is one capable OF a great
