ings, not to wanderers by nature,
whom no home could ever keep.
In all analyses of marriage it is
commonly stated that more homes
are ruined through economic trOu-
bles than by any other cause.
Poverty never yet killed true love
It is lack of character and a Sinking
of burden which destroys homes,
whether rich or poor.
Recently a very rich man, about
to take a train, stepped into the
serVe-sef in the dark of the morn
ing. There he met an old friend
you see it's too early for the wom-
en- to get my breakfast" he eX-
planned with sad smile.
"The women" were his wife, two
daughters and three maid servants.
And yet there was not enough con-
science between the six of them to
provide coffee and toast at a. m. for
the man who provided the money
they spent.
In hundreds of homes where the
income is small the husband gets his
own breakfast regularly because cit
is too early for the wife to get up"
No man can go to his work cheer
fully with the bitter knowledge that
the woman he chose for a helpmate
is failing to fulfill her part of the
business Of marriage.
Is it anyVwonder there is no pub
lie discussion of 'the double work
ing standard" for husbands and
wives?

MEMORIAL TO MAJOR
JOHN WESLAY POWELL
Interior Department Announces Com
pletion of Project in the
Grand Canyon.

Announcement was made yesterday
that the Department of the Interior has
completed, on the rim of the Grand Can
yon, in Arizona, a memorial to Mai John
Weslay Powell, the intrepid pioneer and
celebrated scientist who first explored
the Grand Canyon,
The memorial is an altar decorated in
Indian imagery and supporting a bronze
tablet, resting upon a pyramidal base OF
rough-hewn stone Fifteen steps lead
from the west up to the altar floor, from
which one may gaze into the very heart
of the glowing mile-deep canyon. 1t is
a structure worthy alike of the rugged
TO- eful personality of the man and of
the titanic chasm which 1t overlooks.
The spot chosen for the memorial Is
Sentinel Point. promontory south OF
the railway station, which commands a
particularly fine view Of the Granite
Gorge and of the river. whose unknown
terrors of whirlpool and cataract the
Powell party braved in small open boats.
The structure is built. of weathered lime
stone from the nelghborhood.
The memorial which Secretary Lane
has now realized was planned at the In
ternational Geological Congress- of 1901
in recognition of Maj. PowelPs distin-
guished services as Director of the Unit
ed States Geological Survey.

SHEEP-DOGS ARE USED
In AMBULANCE WORK
French Army Uses CANNES for Same
Duties Being Performed by
ST. Bernard Breed.

British Headquarters in France, Jan. l.
-One of the most interesting Of the sub
sidiary establishments of the French
army is that of the French sheepdogs,
which are being employed in ambulance
and patrol work There are only about
twenty-five in number.
The dogs are of five breeds-'Malinois,' .
''Gronendael," Bar Rouge" "Brisre, .
and "Berfer AIlemand" Of which the last
is said to be the least intelligent. The
original idea was that they should be
employed only on ambulance work, but
II was soon found possible to use them
for taking back messages from advanced
parties to the rear.
Training has to be begun when the
dogs are very young. The first thing,
of course. is implicit obedience. Then
II is a question of training them not to
fear gun-fire. Once trained, they show
themselves absolutely fearless, and SO far
from recoiIing from a sheil-burst they
usually rush forward and bark furiously
at II.
On ambulance work they perform much
the same duties as those of st. Bernard.
They are sent out TO scour the ground,
and when they have found a wounded
man they bring back some articies- of
his apparel doctor and two 'orderlies
are then detailed to follow the dog. who
brings them to the place where thhe
wounded man is lying.
The following story is told of Fan
fare" one of the bar Rouge" breed The
dog was carrying a message from the
front line to the rear when be was very
badly hit in the foreieg by shrapnei
As soon as he had pulled himself to-
sether he limped onto his destination
on three legs. and then insisted on re-
turning to the front patrol who had orig
inally sent him out. In the course of
the evening he was sent to Paris. where
his wounds were dressed, and he Is now
hack again at the front.

GREEK STEAMER IS SAFE.

Thesxalonil<i Suspected of DupIicity
i'm Order TO Save Salvage Costs.
Special to The Washington Herald.
New York, Jan. IA wireless message
from the coast guard cutter Seneca to
the Brooklyn Navy Yard today cleared
up the mystery OF the Greek steamer,
Thessaloniki, whose agents predict she
will be in port tomorrow night or Mon
day morning. The radio was as fol-
lows: ~
Message received from the salafIki
reads; Safe. Do not require assistal ee.
Greek steamer Ttief standing by.'"
Shipping men declare that :ts message
confirmed their belief that tic ialoniki
had simply been palying a game OF hide
and seek with the vessels that had left
port or had changed their courses in or
der to be of assistance. By these means
the owners of the Saloniki have saved
the cost Of salvage, the Tidef being a
sister ship. s..

WOMAN USES HAT
PIN ON HIGHWAYMAN

Des Moines, Dec. sO.-Miss Jose.
phine Wheeland, employed at the Ma.
tional Life Insurance company, has
no fear of highwaymen. Recently
while walking past Fourth street on
her way home, she was confronted by
a 200-pound man, who demanded her
pocketbook. II will do no such thing"
she said and when the highway man
struck her she hit him in the face
with her pocketbook. The blow almost
knocked Miss Wheeland to the ground
but she quickly recovered herself and
grabbed hat pin from her hat. The
man, however, did not see her reach
for it and when he tried to overpower
her she struck him in the stomach
with the hat pin. Tho man staggered
and groaned and ran bleeding away.
The police expect to arrest the man.
