right?
Is marriage the husk and the
name-such a sacred thing that l
should keep up the appearances of
being a well beloved and loving wife.
Am putting the fact of the scandal
and worry that would ensue before
the right thing to do? Dick says,
Don't give me up, Margie," but does
he want me on my terms? Am right
in asking him to gain my love all over
again; in asking him to court me all
over again, while l am in the eyes of
the world his wife? Will it be pos
sible for him to make me forget that
he killed my pride and broke my
heart? Can 1 live in the same house

Predicts Mexico Will Rise
and Fall Like China


Washington, Jan. 22.-"Americsn
manufacturers, producers and capital
lists should be cautioned that, notwith
standing the recognition of a govern
ment in Mexico by the United States
and other foreign powers, economic
conditions are not yet, and will not for
some time TO come, be In a condition
TO permit the exploitation of the mar
kets Of Central Mexico" declared an
American well known in the CONNER
cial world, and who has just returned
from business TIP TO that country.
THE present de facto government
will find it hard. if not impossible, 10
realize the democratic ideals 10 which
it mas pledged itself, due primarily TO
the dense ignorance of go per cent OF
the people, and. secondly, 10 the char
acteristics of the Indians, who, as ex-
perience has shown US in our own
country. do not lend themselves readily
TO the restraint of self-government.
The history of the rise and fall OF the
Chinese republic is one which probably
find its analogy In the Mexican situa-
tion.
Mexico, from an economic stand
point, is still perfectly solvent, not
withstanding the terrible drain and
destruction of wealth during the revo-
luton. The natural resources. both
mineral and agricultural, together with
its geographical position and the ideal
climatic conditions of its central plat
eau. form an asset which, in actual and
realizable value. Is far in excess of the
total Of its liabilities, which the last
few years Of revolutions have so
greatly increased Placed in the hands
Of an honorable and Competent re-
ceiver, Mexico would soon be ranked
among the prosperous. rich and pro-
gressive countries Of the wo:ld."
