MI|e.lancrets Unique
Philosophy Suggests
- that a Married Man
49, Ought Not toStay at
= Home too Much.

MW1LLE. MARIE LANCRET is
IVAN the newest reigning beauty
VAAV of the Partisan stage. Her
- photographs are eagerly
sought for, and some of her best are
shown exclusively on this page.
Mile Lancret has recently at.
tracted increased attention by her
unorthodox viewpoint concerning
homo and husbands. The prevail
ing impression has been that it is
good for a. married man to stay homo
at night and not go philandering
about. This is not so. says Mile.
Lancret.
Competition. says Mile. Lancret.
is what makes a man grow. The
desire to be or the necessity Of being
more forceful, more brilliant, more
capable, more attractive than his
fellow stimulates his wits and makes
his brain grow.
when man marries and shuts
himself up night after night with his
wife he deliberately cuts himself
off from this vast stimulating influ-
ence. He has no rivalry to sharpen
him. He sinks into a state of de.
moralizing peace. He becomes less
keen. less alert.
And here is the crux OF the whole
matter-he is less capable OF meet
Ing on equal terms his fellow men
who have not succumbed to matri.
monial lassltude, who are still in the
game, who compete constantly for
some woman's approval.
Therefore at least three nights a
week a husband ought TO utterly for.
get he is married. throw aside every
thought of domesticity and go forth
TO battle with his fellows for some
other woman's smile"

RAISE MORE HOGS.

The project of Delaware College to
stimulate interest in swine growing in
Delaware by forming boys hog clubs is
a step in the right direction, and the
outcome will be watched with interest.
1t has been the feeling of the Delaware
College experts for some time that the
livestock industry in Delaware IS not
what it should be, not only as far as
hogs are concerned, but cattle as well.
In these days of high meat prices,
there appears to be no reason why the
Delaware farmer cannot raise meat at
a profit. 1t has been done in the past,
but then came the Chicago meat in
dustry. which lowered prices to such an
extent that farmers became disgusted
and turned their attention to other ac-
tivities. But now prices have reached
a height never before attained and will
continue to soar until the meat supply IS
increased. 1t would seem that now
would be the time for the Delaware
farmer to turn his attention again to
the raising of live stock, and country
wide move of this nature appears to be
about the only thing which will relieve
the pressure on the housekeeper S pocket

BUYING HORSES.

The prices of horses took another
lump when men said to be Canadians,
acting as the agents for the English
and French Governments, attended a
sale of horses on Market Street near
Thirty-seventh Street, in Philadelphia
last Monday afternoon. Itwas said the
European war had caused an unprecent-
ed rise in the price of horses and the
agents of the allies here have virtually
depleted the supply available for cavalry
service. Horses for cavalry work, even
the poorer ones, are selling at from
Sl75 to 5000. Heavy draft horses which
could be used for artillery service are
quoted at $3.50 a pair and up and there
are few to be had at that price. One
Of the dealers said he could sell more
than he could get and that horses were
scarcer than they had been in many
years. He said he had three inquiries
from persons who evidently represent
ed European Powers. but had been un-
able to obtain the horses.
