point. There is only one way to
meet any problem that comes to
any Of US in life. And that is, to
look at it from a detached angle.
to eliminate for the time being all
sentiment, and to bring to bear
upon it all the good, plain common
sense that one is capable Of.
Apart from its other phases,
marriage is business partnership.
This must be so, because money
has to be provided and disbursed
by the two people contracting it.
And since money is the cause of so
many disagreements, these can De
practically obviated by applying to
the use Of it the ordinary partner
ship rules and regulations that
obtain in business.
In business firm the senior
partner might regard the junior
partner as wastcful and extravn-
giant in his private expenditures;
but so long as those expenditures
did not affect the resources and
credit of the firm, the senior would
have no right to protest and would
never think Of 30 doing.
If the same system were inau-
gurated in married life, it would
be pretty sure to eliminate dis
putes and arguments down to the
vanishing point. The husband and
wife might, after a thorough dis
cussion of all resources, budget the
family income, setting aside each
week or month so much for house
hold expenses, so much for the
maintenance and education of the
children, SO much for emergencies,
80 much for savings and reserve,
so much for his and her personal
expense account. Then the re-
mainder should be divided equally
between them, and spent or saved
as each saw fit and without hav-
ing to give an account of it to any
body.
1t is that silly old idea Of the
wife's dependence, Of foricng her
to ask for the share that is right
fully hers, that makes so many
embittered women. 1t is a pro-
found humiliation to the spirit Of
an intelligent woman to have doled
out to her the amount which hus-
band decides is right and proper
for her to have, without consult
ing her in the mater.
Women will meet misfortune,
lack and privation undaunted; but
if there is prosperity they want
their fair share of it, and they
want it not as an indulgence but
as a right. Denied it, they feel re-
sentiment, and, like any other de-
pendents, they will resort To petty
shifts and evasiOns and deceits to
get what they regard as theirs.

BRITISH At YPRES
BEND ENEMY LINE
HAIo RESUMES DRIVE TO cur
OFF U-5oAT BASES ON NORTH
COAST OF BELGIUM,
Attacking Force Accomplish One Of tn.
Most Remarkable and important
Achievements in Recent Months In
Face of Stubborn Resistance.

LOndon.-The British Mt daybrcak
on Thursday, September 20, launched,
heavy offensive against the German
defenses about the Ypres salient along
an extended front, which has its cen
ter around Inverness copse, and astride
the Ypres-Menin road, little south
east of HODGE.
From the first moment of going over
the top, the assault proceeded with
marked success, especially in the cru
cial sector between the Ypres- Roulers
railway and Hollebeke. where the Brit
ish early In the day had forced their
way forward over marshy ground and
through woods filed with machine
guns to a considerable depth and were
continuing the bitter fight In the
neighbOrhood of the famous Inverness
cOpse, Nuns wood and Glencorse
wood, where so much blood has been
shed since the allies began the battle
of Flanders July 81.
If the attacking forces maintain the
positions to which they have advanced
in this section they will have accom-
plished one of the most remarkable
and most important achievements In
recent months. The German infantry
made the most determined resistance
in their attempt to regain this vital
ground and their artillery retaliated
heavily against the British big guns.
This phase of the battle OF Flanders,
which bids fair to become known as
the battle of MenIn road, because it
centers in the territory astride the
Menin road, began at 5 40 O'Clock. The
infantry advance was preceded by a
barrage of greater depth than ever be-
fore witnessed. Five distinct bar
RACES, in fact, were dropped ahead of
the men as they began their journey
into this difficult terrain. The ire
mendOus curtain of bursting steel did
it's work well and the troops pushed
forward rapidly toward their objec-
tives.
The German defenses consisted
largely of concrete redoubts scattered
in profusion over the entire country
and from these they have been able
to pour a stream of bullets into the
ranks of the advancing troops. Every
little elevation also held it's machine
gun emplacements and all the woods
were literally chOked with rapid frers.
The British encountered hard fight
ing at many places, but the magnih-
cent artillery preparation had done
much to make the first stage OF their
drive easier. The past week must
have been one of misery for the Ger
man troops lying out in this section.
A great number of big guns have
been pouring a steady stream Of high
explosive shells into their territory,
and every now and then the British
have put down a barrage which swept
the land like a broom. 1t is known
that many German batteries have been
silenced in the past few days.
