POOH MEMS INVESTMENTS

There IS no better index to bust

According 20 their computations,

dream of many quiet games Of chess
with Miss FELTON, by the voice of Mrs.
Bennett, his next neighbor.
Somebody taken your lace?" she
said IN her hard shrill voice. II call
that mean"
"Oh, no; I didn't say any one had
taken it!' protested Miss FELTON,, with
shocked glance around the table. Il

Meantime Phineas Clode ate his
supper quite innocent of any partici-

He had planned out his evening with
the same precision that he devoted to
the neatly kept ledgers in the ware

he would walk three times around the
block while he smoked cigar. Then
he would return to his boarding house
and read the evening paper in his com

AS soon as he had met Miss FELTON,,
however. he thought he recognized the
quiet. concentrated mind OF a chess
player. If she didn't know how to
play he might teach her.
So after he had walked around the
block three times and returned to the
boarding house parlor to report that
the rain had ceased. although the sky
was still overcast, he Joined Miss Eel

Here is something to think about
and to think about very seriously:
Woman has prided herself thus far
upon the fact that heretofore the large
majority of applicants for divorce
were women. 1t has been proof posi-
tive, apparently. that man is a tyrant
and a brute, and that most men make
undesirable husbands.
The divorce court has been wom-
ans road to freedom. That man has
not availed himself of it more fire.
quently has been considered another
proof that a wife is an angel imposed
upon; that a husband knows he has
good thing and doesn't want to lose
1t.
Well, the husbands are waking up
to the extent that now so per cent OF
the divorces are applied for by men
This in spite of the fact that there are
many more grounds for divorce for q
wife than there are for a husband.
1t is not very fiattering, is It?
Perhaps some women aren't such
abused angels, after all!
Perhaps Mr.. Henpeck is going tc

have a little peace on earth in spite
of Mrs. Henpeck. Perhaps the man
who loves home and children and the
simple life will seek another chance,
with another wife who doesn't spend
on show" all that he can earn.
Maybe the husbands of the nagger.
the SLOUGH, the Pathfinder, the CAD
der, the nervous" woman, the mar
ried fiirt and a few others one knows
of, will ask freedom in the divorce
court.
Maybe, too, the husband who is just
tired of his wife, will manage to get
rid of her in a perfectly legal way,
so that he may have fresh spouse.
Anyway, it behooves wives to con-
slider this divorce matter, now, from
both sides-the husbands as well as
the wife's. Most divorces, II the
truth were known, result from faults
| in both.
OF course there are men with whom
no decent woman could or should live
/ But there is also the woman who
I takes advantage OF a husbands habit
of loyalty, by heaping countless mis-
cries upon him.
A certain gallantry in the average
man has kept many out of the divorce
court. But gallantry toward women
seems waning more and more, and we
are actually being treated to an ex
hibition of men asking for theil
rights" as we'll as women.
Let US hope that the new divorce
situation will make girls choose theil
marital mates more carefully, and
that a girl will rather take the safety
of single blessedness than the possibil
ity of a divorce after matrimony has
made her a dependent.
Let US hope, too, that the quarrel
some wife will think twice before Ut
tering her frequent threat of divorce
The worm may turn.

brunt of the debate Incidental to the
passage of the measure.
Mr.. Wilson pointed out that while
there are upwards of 100000 900 labor
ers in the United States, they have,
up to this time, been without direct
representation in the presidents cabi-
net. One of the most important feat

Wilson pointed out that this provision
of the bill would make it measure
of the greatest value, not only to the

general public as we'll. The secretary

confidence of both sides, and would

To ADVANCE LABOR'S CAUSE.
/ Mr.. Wilson, President Gompers of
the American Federation Of Labor and
the Tabor group" i'll congress are I'M
anlmous in the belief that this bill
will advance the cause of labor i'm
measurably in this country. While it
does not provide for arbitration in la,
Dor disputes, it does make it easier
for the two factions to get together,
and this, the labor leaders say, is al
ways the hardest step in the settle,
ment of a trade dispute.
The new department, in addition,
will prove of immense educational
value, in that it will distribute facts
and figures showing the condition OF
labor in all industries. And educa
ton, says Chairman Wilson, is the
main thing needed to better the con
dition of the worker. The democrat
ic bill is one of the greatest victories
, the working man ever gained in con
