1t IL pretty hard TO find q man or woman
who is not guilty of some small prevari-
cation each day.
Almost every business man IL obliged
TO be courteous and polite TO callers who
bore him unuterrabIy and take up his
precious time. When they say. Il fear
I am trespassing on your patience" the
poor Galve of business is Obliged to say,

wishing himself upon a desert island a
thousand leagues from bores.
Again, he finds himself obliged from
social consideration to accept a dinner
invitation. either at the home Of an &C
quaintance or at the club. yet he does
not enjoy the occasion, but is forced to
say that he has had a charming time on
taking leave of his host.
In large financial transactions, the man
who is absolutely truthful today would
bring a salary in any museum. The lit
tie lie in such situations is called "busl-
ness acumen'' and ''shrewdness,' and
cunning" and quick wit--any name,
indeed: save its own ugly one.
In the hours devoted to gallantry and
love-making. man brides himself upon
his ability to tell sweet lies which women
believe. AS for woman's untruthfulness,
it is a wonder she knows how to speak
the truth at all. since man has so en-
comprised her with false conditions. and
made such unreasonable demands of her,
that she has never dared to be absolutely
honest and frank with him, or even with
herself.
often w, nder Just when he began 70
impress upon her mird that she was a
hair ttff iU nnlila htv1aRalf In haE
natural passions, her aims, her rights,
her obligations. Surely in the early,
primitive races woman was not forced to
such deception as the civilized world has
made necessary.
Man now makes it obligatory upon
woman 70 declare herself as emotionlsss
as a disembodied spirit. else he distrusts
her purity. once knew a wife who was
unwise enough to tell her husband that
some years before she met him a man
had put his arm about her waist during
a promenade. she had rebuked him and
never saw the man afterward; yet the
husband became morbid and Jealous and
unkind after this incident was related to
him, and insulted his wife with suspicious
of her responsibility, declaring that she
must have caused him to act as he did
by her indiscretions.
So long as men demand much more OF
women that they give women must be
forced to lie and deceive. Only when
he is willing to overlook her errors and
follies as he expects her to be in consid-
ering his will she become truthful.
Almost everything that woman is man
made her. She IL often extravagant be-
cause he continually pays attention to the
fashionably attired women, even while he
SCOTS at fashion, She frequently negiects
the domestic virtues for more snowy 40
oomplishments because man passes the
domestic woman by with polite indiffer~
ence.
1t would be we'll for man to ask him
self what he has done toward making
higher standards for woman before he
criticizes her too severely.

Hugh Sum VIII Be Required Annually
If Congress Decides to Add Battle
Cruisers to Navy
b. Associated Press,

Washington. Jan. 2S.-Naval ex-
perts figure that it will require an an
nual naval appropriation of 100000
900 instead of the present average of
100000 if Congress decides to
add to the present type of American
naval vessels suitable proportion OF
''battle cruisers - such as have played
50 prominent a part IN the recent naval
engagements in European and South
American waters. This estimate is based
on the theory that there will be no in
terruption in the permanent plan of
naval increase which eOntemplateS an
addition of two dreadnoughts each
year.
If the naval experts were required
TO choose between building dread
noughts or battle cruisers. they would
unhesitstingly turn TO the dreadnought
type, and it is stated by prominent
officials that nothing vet has occurred
in the naval battles of the present war
10 change their original belief regard
ing the superiority of the dreadnought
type. They are quite willing to accept
u proper proportion of battle cruisers,
tut insist that the first requisite is the
completion of the plan whereby the
navy Is to possess forty-eight dread
nou9ItS. ANY attempt TO Interfere
with the steady and constant addition
of these latter types TO the navy would.
i Is stated. be strongly resisted by
the naval officials unless the additions
were over and above the allowance

plan FOR a lreadnought for every State

of Luzerne, expects to introduce in the
House next week bill for the crea.
tion of new county out OF parts of
Luzerne and Sehuylkill, to be known as
Penrose county. with HaZleton as the
county seat.
This is modification of the bill in

when Hastings was Governor. propos-
ing to form new county out of the
same territory and call It Quay county.
The proposition got as Tar as commit
tee and then was ridieuled out of ex-
istence.
The proposed new county is expect
ed to contain zoe population. Rep.
resentative Adams says that the forma
tion of the new county is something
taat has long been needed by the resi-
dents of upper Sehuvlkill and lower
Luzerne. as i; would save them long
trips to Pottsville and Wilkes Barre.
idazleton is the natural center of the
