ALIMONY vs.. AMBITION.

Psychology, which has been per-
vading the realms of politics and
business and other strange places as
we'll as it's older and more conven-
tional haunts, is now officially recog-
nized as having an important bear
ing on alimony. Of course, it has al
ways been part of the things that
lead to alimony, but it's present en-
trance is upon the field of the actual
earning and payment, to use war
word, of the indemnity.
When the attorney for the woman
plaintiff in a divorce suit made ap-
plication for a grant of alimony
pending the issue Justice Guy de-
clined to order the husband to pay
his wife $25 of his weekly income of
$50.
81 think it would be better to make
it $40 a week." he said, "for even
though he is now getting $50 week
he might regard $25 week as too
much of a strain and stop working
altogether. It's bad plan to kill
the matrimonial goose that lays the
golden egg"
Not bad theme for your novelist
of character; the misunderstood and
misrepresented husband sagging un-
der the weight of an alimony handi-
cap too great for his sentitive ma
ture to bear. His agonies at parting
with each exorbitant slice of pay
could be dragged through many
chapters. Toward the end, when his
business talents have been destroyed
by the deadly drain and he has moth
ing to pay with or eat with, the wife
comes at last to know his true, beau
tiful nature.
Reconciled, he mounts the ladder
Of success, and instead of getting
one-fifth of his income the heroine
is seen, in the last chapter, getting it

spread before them an ever-changing
panorama. No matter how often
they returned to the same spots, new
scenes would delight their eyes. Ma
ture is the most beautiful thing in
the world. All around Washington
the aspect of nature just now is re-
markable for its beauty.
Take stroll through Rock Creek
Park. Or go out into Takoma Park,
or Mt. Rainier. Set yourself for a
long walk into Virginia. What if
you do become a bit tired? Electric
cars are on every side to bring you
home again, refreshed in body and
mind, from your little excursion.

Good Word For Policeman.
r of the Mail Bag:

To the Editor of the Mail Bag:
Honor to whom honor is due.
Wednesday afternoon, shortly before
5 O'Clock, ! witnessed the arrest of a
man at Pennsylvania Ave. and Fifth ST.
An old man, evidently one on whom the
indignity of arrest weighed heavily, was
taken into custody by policeman, evil
IDENTIFY because Of intoxication. The
officer. a fine looking man, handled his
prisoner in the most humane manner
have ever seen a policeman make an
arrest. The old man was hard to
handle. protesting volubly, and offering
considerable physical resistance. The
policeman, although firm, was good
natured, Quiet-even courteous. The
crowd that usually tags at the heels Of
a man taken into custody. was not
gathered. There was no brutality, no
swinging Of club. not even harsh
word from the policeman. If a cop
has a chance to get to heaven. the
Pearly Gates will swing far ajar for
that particular officer.

Would Lower All Theater Prices.

To the Editor OF the Mail Bag:
1 have noticed in the last few days
suggestions that the gallery seats in the
theaters be reduced to Is cents, the
price that prevailed before the gal
lery gods were forced out by the influx
of women patrons. Not only the price
OF gallery seats. but the prices Of all
seats should be reduced in the 81
houses A few productions may fill the
theaters. but at other times there are
many vacant seats. This condition pre-
walls throughout the country Up to
about one month ago over thirty COM
panies had gone to the WALL since the
opening Of the theatrical season, and
doubtless many others have followed
suit since then. New York is full of
unemployed performers.
beg leave to suggest that il some
manager will try out the question Of a
reduction Of prices by giving bargain
week. with good play. he will be re-
warded with full houses and make
more money than he is now making
with many vacant seats.
The public Is demanding a reduction
OF prices. and 1t has got to come, and
the motion picture theater is the great
factor that will aid in compelling a
compliance with the demand. Respect
fully, A. L. MUDD.

Speaking of Equal Rights for the Sexes.

To the Editor of the Mail Bag:
Women who have come out into man 8
wor!u, either through necessity or in
clination. howl because of discrimination
on account of their sex.
Good Heavens! What do women want
anyway? We have opened wide the
doors of the professions. every industry
except blacksmithing, receives them
without a murrnur, permitting women TO
take away work from the man who is
erldeavoring to support a home, and a
wife who stays in the home in an ef-
fort to maintain the womanly ideal
which her sister is so ruthlessly destroy
ing, she has the open field with men
Nay! Men have done even more.
They not only only give them the chance
to do anything they choose in mans
world, but they permit woman to play
off her sex, in securing the ends which
they wish. A woman motorist is sell
dom pinched for speeding, whereas
man who is guilty of the same offense
would not get off without paying the
penalty. Favor of this kind is
shown in dozens of instances through
out the day, 50 numerous and common
to everyone who is about town in the
current of everyday affairs, that it is un-
necessary to enumerate them.
Isn't it time that the stronger sex
called a halt to the complaints OF these
spoiled children?

! to universal transfers. The railway
conlpanies depend upon the public for
their existence. Should they not issue
universal transfers for the accommoda-
ton of the public? l believe this SUBJ
iect has been referred to the railway
companies several times, but, strange
to say, it has been given but little at
tention. If the directors of these COM
panies do not intend to Comply with the
wishes of their patrons. there should
be q bill passed by Congress. through
which they would be compelled to salts
fly the public, concerning transfers.
or course. for an excuse. the rail-
"alibi.' viz. Competition would not

they would find that their PATRONAGE
would increase. For example: A per-
son living in the neighborhood of Du-
pont Circle wishes to ride to Seventh
and Florida Avenue. Imagine the trip
ahead of him If he takes the south
bound Connecticut avenue car. and
transfers at Ninth and F streets.
Whereas. If he could take the north
bound Connecticut avenue car and
transfer at Eighteenth and Columbia
road. he would make the trip in about
one-third the length of time it would
otherwise take.
Another example: A person. riding on
Fourteenth street car, wants to get
to Twenty-third and Massachusetts
avenue on one fare. How can he do
II. without walking about a half-mile?
Simple matter. if we had universal
transfers. Change at Fourteenth and
Fl streets. take Georgetown car to
Twenty-third and P streets, and walk
two short blocks. These two examples
serve the purpose of proving how much
time and trouble could be saved IL the
railway companies would issue uniyers-
