THE SQUANDERER
Bv ELLA WHEELER Will COX

you would he awake with horror.
wondering how the impression has
gone abroad that men can sin and pay
no penalty; that woman alone pays
for her errors.
Woman does pay a big price not
only for her own sins of the senses,
but she pays also for the sins of her
lover or her husband.
Our asylums for the insane and our
homes for incurables are half filed
with women and children who have
paid the price for the men who be-
lieved ii was nobody's business il they
chose to "see life" and "l1now the
world"
When woman makes wrong step
in this direction her punishment
usually is swift, and the world knows
Of il.
A mans punishment is frequently
long delayed, but when it comes it de-
mands interest on all the time which
has alapsed. Many young and middle
aged men you see walking with canes
and crutches, and paying large COM
missions to physicians to say they have
rheumatism and "neuritis'' and 9TH
er commonplace maladies. are victims
of their own vices. They have seen
life" as you are seeing 1t.
Look at the faces of men in fash
ionable clubs; how many of these men
are, at forty or fifty or sixty. types
which seem admirable to you?
You are young; In the morning OF
life; before you waste your splendid
youth and prepare yourself to be a
physical pauper at middle life, stop
and think of these things a bit.
And consider what qualities and
propensities. and what kind of blood
you are preparing to give your unborn
children.
No doubt it is your intention to give
them pure minded and clean bodied
mother.
But what sort Of a father will they
have?

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 am nineteen, and deeply in love
with a gentleman two years my
senior. He has proposed to me, but
have not accepted him yet, be-
cause he will not be able to furnish
a home like the one I have been ac-
customed to, as he has TO work for a
living. l wish you would tell me
whether or not you think 1 ought to
accept his offer Of marriage.
MISS EARL.
Your question proves that you are
not fitted TO be his wife. He should
marry a girl who is sensible enough to
care all the more for man who
works for living. and fear you are
not that. You do not love him, or the
question OF fine furniture would not
enter your head.

WILSON HAS No PLAN
FOR EXTRA SESSION
October IS Tentatively Agreed
Upon as Day of Adjournment
of Present Congress
By associated Press

Washington, Oct. 5.-Outlining the
legislative program for the remain
der of the session of Congress, Presi-
dent Wilson told callers to-day that
no extra session in November was con-
templated. He added that only some
extraordinary emergency would neces-
state an extra session following ad-
tournament of this session.
The President said the war tax bill,
the Clayton antitrust bill and the
Alaska coal leasing would complete
the important work for the present
session and that when these bills were
disposed of he saw no reason why an
adjournment should not be taken. Oc-
tober Is is the date tentatively agreed
upon.
Asked about threats by Represen-
tative Henry, of Texas, to fight against
an adjournment until cotton relief
measures were passed. the President
said that the membership of the House
rather than Mr.. Henry would decide
when to adjourn.
For the next session the program
as outlined by the President will in
clude the Alexander ship purchase
bill, the Philippine bill, the general
leasing bill, the general land bill, the
general dam bill and the usual appro-
priation bills.
Regarding the Presidential primary
bill which he favors, the President said
to-day that he had several conferences
on the subject though 1t will be a
great complexity in framing the de-
tails in order not to conflict with State
election laws. He declared it would
ne difficult to complete the legislation
this Congress but that het was still at
work on the subject.
The President said he did not think
1t necessary to act on the the safety
at sea convention during the present
session. The Reyburn securities issue
bill also probably will go over until
the next session.
