"Home without a Wife" is Slo.
gan Which Causes Men to
Shun Responsibilities.

Home without woman. There
couldn't be such thing, according 10
ideas which until very recently have
been accepted.
But 1t is different nowadays. Dur
ing the last few years there has been
quietly going on sort Of social rev.
olution which has bestowed upon mere
man a large measure Of domestic in
dependence. Quite commonly he con-
siders that he can make home for
himself without any woman in it.
In one way this works out unfor-
tunateIy, for it discourages matri'
mony. There is no doubt that the
change in question has had much TO
do with the lessening OF the number
OF marriages. 1t means just so many
more old maids.
This, however, is discussion Of the
matter from mans points OF view
How does he manage TO make home
without woman? And what advan-
tage does he gain thereby?
Personal Liberty and Economy.
The chief advantages he obtains are
personal liberty and economy Of ex-
penditure.
AS for the latter point, take the
case Of man who earns a salary Of
500 year. II he marries on that
income, it means genteel poverty. His
wife will have to do her own house
work. He must continually and pain
fully scrimp and contriye. If babies
come, life may be one long anxiety
and struggle.
On the other hand, as single man,
with $500, he can live In great COM
fort and without debt. II he has 49,
900 a year. or even $500, he can live
luxuriously.
Within the last few years new con-

proper object of existence is the pur-
suit Of usefulness. But this is not
treatise on moral ethics; it is dis
cussion Of the reasons why so many
men nowadays are satisfied to stay
single.
The most essential factor in the
problem, as they view it, is that II is
now entirely practicable-as 1t never
used to be-to have home and all
the comforts thereof without woman.

no lack; it seeks him.
His liberty is absolute; there is no
body 10 interfere with or dispute it.
His mode of living Is very cheap, as
compared with what it would be IL he
were a married man. II he is reason

is stranger.

FEWER UNVEILED ORDERS.

Since it had been clearly foreshad-
owed. the reduction in the untitled
tonnage of the principal iron and
steel producer during June was not
surprising. Yet this has been a sub
ject for lamentation in some quar-
tiers. Notwithstanding that it is the
first decrease noted since last August.
After nine months Of consecutive in
creases, some people expected the
gains to continue il definitely and the
shrinkage of about 100000 tons re-
ported was described as "discourag-
ing" in certain financial columns.
That such views are not warrant
ed is obvious 10 anyone who consid-
ers the situation intelligently, and
there is no evidence that producing
interests regard conditions with any
thing put satisfaction Even with the
falling off last month, the Steel Cor
poration still has over 100000 tons
of untitled orders on its books. or
more than twice as many as a year
ago, and 60 per cent OF these, accord
ing TO estimates, are in the form OF
specifications.
Prior to this year, nothing OF the
kind has ever been witnessed and
while new domestic demands have
been abating for some time past. for
eign requirements continue a note
worthy feature. Much has been heard
recently of the slackening Of mum

USE OE FUNDS.

The use of national funds for road
improvements was urged early in the
history of this country by Alexander
Hamilton. A little later Albert Gala
tin succeeded in securing the passage
by Congress of an act setting aside
one-twentieth of the proceeds of the
sale of public land in Ohio for build.
ing q highway from tidewater to the
Chic river. In 1906, President Jeffer.
son appointed three commissioners to
locate this route, which ran through
Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia
The first contract for construction
was placed in 1910 and in 1918 part
of the road was opened to travel. 1t
was called the National Road and was
built with national funds exclusively
so that the bill just passed by Con-
gress to furnish money for road build
ing proposes nothing new. The feder
al government did not have the same
views then that it has now of the i'm
portance of maintaining highways.
The National Road was the main
thoroughfare for the heavy travel be-
tween the seaboard and the Ohio val
ley. and lack of maintenance resulted
in the road becoming very poor. In
1881 Pennsylvania asked Congress to
turn over to her care the portion of
the road within her boundaries, and
Maryland and Virginia also made a
similar request somewhat later. I'm
fortunately state control did not re-
suit in any marked Improvement
The counties which had charge of
the portions within their boundaries
did not pay much attention to high
way improvements, and it was not UNI
til the comparatively recent organiza-
ton of state highway departments that
the old National Road was given any
real care. In the last ten years. how
ever, reconstruction has been going
on steadily. In about two years the
entire length in Pennsylvania will be
in good condition and the portion of
Maryland is also very nearly recon
structed.
Farther west the old highway is not
in such good condition, although sec
tons of it have been rebuilt there.
So this early venture in national road
building, successful until the railroad
took its place. is again in a promi-
.nent place among the highways of the
country.

GETTING EVEN.

In a remarkable illuminating state.
ment Progressive County Chairman
O'Connen of New York, declares it
his belief that the men who fnane-
cd the Progressive movement in 1919
did 50 to get square" with the Taft
administration for its treatment of
the Steel Trust, ard that now they
have wedged behind Hughes to get
even with the Wilson administration
for its enactment of the Currency
law.
Mr.. O'Conneu is not a politician but
a lawyer, Irish-born, who took no &c
tive part in politics until the Progress
sive uprising of 1913 when he like 9TH
ers went into the fray as l did be-
lieving that the Progressive platform
was one of the great things fer which
the soul of mankind had been crying
through the years" and have now
learned how more prophetic the faith
ers of this country were when they
SdiQ ludt Ills Jul SON Cl oIlOhlh
be a government OF laws, not of men. =
It is folly to deny that Mr.. O'Con-
nell's views are shared by thousands
of the 1000, 900 voters who stood up
IN 1912 1t is natural that they should
feel somewhat the same resentment
to the leaders and the same disap-
pointment that he feels in the manipu-
lation of the Progressive cause at Chi
cage this June, and since.
And these men who feel so deeply
and think so honestly about ques-
lions of social and moral uplift are
not going to be driven like sheep into
the fold of party which stands dia
metrically opposed to all the humane
measures that brought the Progress
sive party into being.
The time of meditation is at hand
The ground swell to Mr. Hughes which
was declared to be so momentous
halted almost before it started. Pro
gressive committees and leaders are
repudiating the action of their com
mitteemen at Chicago The trend is
now in two directions either toward
a preservation of the Progressive par
ty organizations or toward that real
Progressive already candidate, the
President.
When Mr.. O'Connell states it as his
belief that a deal, afterwards carried
out at Chicago, was fixed up at the
Gary dinner. he gives his party men
an interesting mental morsel. On top
of Matthew Hale's clear-cut disclo-
sure of how the steam roller worked
in the national Progressive committee
meeting, this statement by Mr. O'Con-
nell gains strength and will halt many
a Progressive from swearing in to
make good the empty words of a faith
less leadership.

REBUILDING FACES
Great Corps Of Them Busy Helping
The Disfgured
Soldiers

LONDON, June 20-(By MaiD-
That horror of the soldier, a shattered
face, is being abated in the British
army by a set of Chicago surgeons
in their field hospital near the Brit
ish front today. Their success lis
largely due to expert dental surgery
Col. DR.. ]. M. Neff of Chicago, head
of this unit of 80 surgeons; Col. DIR,
George Davis of Chicago Maj. DR..
Sidney MoCallin, formerly Of Chicago
but now of London, and Maj. -Jr.
Charles Magby, eye and ear surgeon
of Chicago are daily performing OPP
erations on wounded men hitherto I'M
heard Of in medical science.
These American surgeons have
proved that Napeleon's adage that an
army travels on its stomich is old
fashioned. An. army travels on ita
teeth. Without good molars the best
stomachs go to pieces Twenty mon
tbs of war demonstrated this. Amcri-
can medical men established the fact
that caring for the soldiers teeth
is the supremely important thing in
caring for his health.
To this American surgery in the
British lines soldiers come suffering
from disordered digestion, sore throat,
influenza, rheumatism, shattered ner-
yes. Most of them are men who have
gotten no relief from medicine. Usu-
ally it is discovered that an injured
tooth is the poison center that is
disrupting the mans physical organi-
cation and he is quickly put on his
feet again.
1t is in Jaw surgery that the most
astonishing results have been attain
ed. When we read or hear of soldiers
so horribly dishgured that other hui
mans do not care to look upon them,
we do not care to diagnose the de-
tails But these Chicago surgeons
have discovered that all these wounds
occur to the lower part Of the face.
A wound on the upper part of the
head usually causes death but wounds
OF the jaw do nothing but turn men S
faces into terrible caricatures.
