WOMEN'S INTERESTS
Why | Never Married

why do so many women who are at
tractive, intelligent. full of human af-
fection and tenderness-the sort of wo-
men who were designed by nature to
make ideal wives and mothers-never
marry?
Is 1t because they were bent on
eelibaoY? Or is IT because men were
TOO stupid to know good thing when
Or is It the fault OF Social conditions
tnat never gave them their matrimonial
1t is one of llfe's great puzzles. and in
a n attempt to solve it, Dorothy Dix has
asked a number OF charming old maids
why they never married.
BY DOROTHY DIX

said the first woman. "is because custom

A Common Case
I think my case Is very common
one. There are many women like my
self who have a high ideal of what
marriage should mean. To them II
should be real mating, a union of
ne neart raI1f and soul: They are incapable
or for the privilege of writing Mrs
before their names.
These women would be glad enough
to marry If the right man came along,
but when he doesn't they refuse to
compromise on makeshift. They would
rather be old maids than make mock
cry of marriage. They would rather
do without love than to take a lower
love.
Now. the maddening thing to those
of us who belong to this class of old
maids Is that we do not go through
life searching for an impossible ideal

An examination of these figures
will show that the work has in most
part been satisfactory during the
month. However there are one OF
two tdings to which I would like to
call the attention of the parents, that
is not satisfactory to myself, to the
teachers, or to the parents them
selves, I am sure. First there has
been entirely too much tardiness dur

true of the High school, which haC

DODGE BROTHERS CAR RECORD

Used as a "Jltney" in Los Angeles Car
Performs at Low Cost for Owner.
Out in Los Angeles there is 4 Dodge
Brothers car that is establishing 3
record for consistent performance.
Used as a 'jitney" by p. E. Kriteh,
It has regularly covered 1000 miles
per week for 20 weeks and bids fair
to continue to travel at the same rate
for many weeks to come.
Mr.. Kritch uses the car on a route
which covers eight miles in the city
and each day he drives back and forth
over the route.
Mr.. Kritch has kept a careful rec
ord Of his expenses in order to find
out If he Is really making money and
the information he has gathered is
Of interest to all motorists.
During the 10000 miles he has aver
aged slightly more than 20 miles 70
the gallon OF disti'late, which he uses
in place Of gasoline. and he has used
only one and one-half sets OF tires.
He got 1900 miles cut OF his mont
tires and 1000 miles nom the tires
on the rear wheels.
The success OF Mr.. Kritch with dis
tlllate has led to many motorists Of
Los Angeles turning TO this fuel as
its cost is but nine cents per gallcn.

ers and assist them in overcoming
this undesirable condition.
At the close of the month we gave
the term examination to all the chill
dreu Of the grades. The results OF
this examination indicate that very
good work has been done. However
there were quite a number of chill
dren who were conditioned IN one or
more subjects. This has caused me
to wonder whether parents are re-
quiring their children to spend as
much time in home preparation as
they should. In a few instances l
have had a parent say to me that his
child did not study at nome and that
the child said that he prepared all OF
his lessons at school. For the beneht
of such parents l wish to say that |
believe that it is necessary for al
most every child in our chools above
the primary grades to do some study
ing at home, and in many instances
1t is necessary for the child to do CON
siderable studying at home, if his
work is to be satisfactory
During the month | took the daily
programs of the different grades, cal
culated the exact number Of minutes
devoted to each subject found the to-
tai then divided this total into the
number of minutes devoted TO each
subject, which gave the per cent of
time the child is devoting to each sub
ject in each grade throughout the
grammar school. | then added the per
cent of time devoted to each subject
throughout the eight years, then found
the grand total of all these percent
ages, divided the grand total into the
total per cent devoted to each sub
ject, and thereby obtained the per
cent of time the child is devoting to
each subject throughout the entire
eight years. We find that We are
giving the following amount of time
to each subject for these eight years:
Arithmetic, 1856 per cent; Language
are Grammar 1271 per cent Physiol-
ogy and Hygiene, 4.26 per cent; His
tory 676 per cent; Spelling, S.91 per
cent; Reading 1858 per cent; Geogra-
ply, 7G1 per cent; Music 4.63 per
cent; Drawing 4O3 per cent; Pen
manship sos per cent; Nature Study,
|S.46 per cent; Caisthenics 4.63 per
cent; opening exercise 729 per cent;
Civics 70 per cent; Agriculture 20
/ per cent.
We have submitted this to a great
many of the leading educators Of this
country and they commended it, as
whole, very highly. We made this
study in order that we might deter
mine more definitely just what we
are doing; whether we are doing the
work properly or not and it is very
gratifying to us to learn from the
leading educators that we have a well
balanced program of work for the chill
dren in our schools.
Respectfully submitted,

superintendent.

must remember that Democracy has
always stood against trusts, and the
antitrust plank has been considered
the strongest plank In the platform,
but In reviewing the candidates he IL

FARM PRODUCTS.
What the Republican Tariff Policy
Means to the Missouri
AgrIcuIturist.

Under the Payne-Aldrich ~protective
tariff. a tariff Of 25 cents a bushel vas
maintained on wheat. while under the
Underwood free trade bill wheat Is on
the free list. The farmer is interested
to know how this affected his market.
and It can best be seen by comparing
the imports under the two bills when
conditions were normal and before the
European war commenced.
In July of 1919. under protection-
4e1s bushels Of wheat were imnorted
while IN INV 1914 under fraa trad.
