If Kaiser Bill had delayed pulling
down the roof on the house of the
world a few years longer it is quite
likely such scenes would have been
possible, says q writer in the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger. Fathers and
mothers would have been able to talk
to their sons in the faraway military
camps here at home. They could
have conversed with them thousands
of miles out at sea while the great
gray ships were conveying the boys
over the blue. They could have heard
the voice of the boy from the battle
Scared fields of France and Flanders.
Radio-telephony at the beginning of
the world war had just about reached
the practical stage where it was to
take its place with autobiography
as one one of the marvels of the age.
One year after Mars Embossed his guns

the Atlantic Ocean-from Arlington,

to Paris. Rome or Vienna. or from
New York TO the North Pole.
Scientifically demonstrated as a
feasible proposition, the wireless tele-
phone was about TO be commercialized
when the war interviewed. Fathers
and mothers Of America could talk to
their sons In France today as out

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax

The main trouble in our married
life was that my husband made no
EFFORT to progress after our marriage
and was content to remain in a rut.
Il was filled with ambitions to bet
ter myself in every way; had my
voice cultivated and studied to i'm.
prove my mind. / tried to persuade
my husband to do the same thing,
but he always refused"
A woman made this secondary
plea for divorce to Justice McAvoy,
in the Supreme Court in Brooklyn
the other day-the main issue of the
case rested on statutory grounds.
1 wonder how many marriages
have gone wrong from such differ
ences?
One of the pair progresses, takes
advantage of every jutting stone to
climb the wall that separates the
successful from the unsuccessful.
The other hangs back, dead weight
on the hands of his more ambitious
partner.
The hindering helpmeet is still go
ing around on the same short chain
forged by individual incompetence.
/ Mental slackers of this type take
the same immature view of things
they look in early youths.
They dread new idea as the
aged dread a draught in the back.
They have the same thoughts and
Heaven help us - the same old
stories
They never add to nor revise their
point of view. They are a species
of fixed star, but alas, there is no
glitter to them.
Alternatives of Partners
The ambitious partner is con-
fronted by one of two alternatives.
Either the mental sluggard must be
left in his own tracks and the ambi-
tious one must soar alone, thus
giving up all idea of the companion
ship he hoped for in marriage. Or
the aspiring helpmeet must give up
his cherished dream of improve
ment and let opportunity pass him
by in the rut.
1t is the old parable of the mill
stone, and no one may swim against
the current burdened by a mill
stone.
There is no more eXacting prob
lem than this among all the vexed
problems of married life.
Shall the runner give up the race
or lag behind to keep pace with a
fiaccid partner?
There have been instances in
which the mentally stagnant one

live wire" of the combination that
untold feats of industry have fol-
lowed. And the tortoise has caught
up with the hare, as in the old
classic fable.
But, alas. this is not often true;
the matrimonial tortoise is content
to sit under its shell and watch the
hare dash off and hear all about
what happened when it returns. If
the hare does return.
But frequently the hare remains
with it's own kind. 1t enjoys the
stimulus of the race, of matching
it's wits and muscles with other
hares. and the dull little tortoise
waiting at home becomes less and
less necessary to the happiness of
the other.
If the tortoise loves the hare

him as a lad who cannot possibly
know his own mind. But they are
wrong. These are days which
quickly change the softness and
vacillation of adolescence into iron
resolution. No chap who did not
know his own mind and who was
not inspired by the highest mo-
uves would voluntarily undertake
the gamble he has chosen, with its
hazards and its chances.
And, furthermore, these parents
may rest assured that, whatever their
boy went away from them, he will
come back a man; and that. no mat
ter whether the duration of his SER
vice be short or long. There is an ex-
perience which counts for more than
years. Let them remember that
Napoleon was a victorious general
when but little older than this boy
of theirs, and that in our own Civil
War men. successfully commanded
army corps who were not yet twenty
five.
The thoughts and ideals of a Will

William Baxter, L. S. A.
And If the boys are being changed
and re-mounted by the events
through which we are passing, no
less is it true of our girls. They are
becoming less frivolous. less incon-
sequent, sweeter, more womenly,

To the one who has written me

offered you. After all, it is but
the symbol and outward sign of the
promise which has already passed
between you, and binds you no more
nor even so much as that-that and
the kiss you blushingly gave him
when he said farewell.
Yes, take the ring. Wear 1t. Try
to be worthy of it and of him. Be
young and glad and gay II you will,
but do nothing of which you feel he
would disaprove. Don't Vex or per-
turb him by giving too much of your
attention to any of these other ad-
mirers of yours. Let him know that
your first thought is always of him.
And then when he comes back, IL you
are both still of the same mind. and
when he is in a position to marry,
redeem your promise to him, and
your welded life will be all the
sweeter and happier for your ro-
nance of eighteen.

the life of the forward rushing
hare.
The tragic situation of one mar
ried partner visibly progressing
while the other remains fixed, is
especially true these days of men
who have entered the Army and are
now in France.
Tremendous things are happening
to the soldier-he is helping to make
history in a land rich in song and
story. He is attending a great
school, awe-inspiring sights greet
him, and terrible experiences are
his,
When he returns, he cannot open
the book of life at the same page
he will have gone too far.
In the meantime what is the little
woman, waiting at home, doing to
keep pace with him?
Perhaps she Goes not even read
a paper; she depends on father
brother or neighbor to tell her
news. She has the habit of having
facts doled out to her-independent
thought is beyond her. She is the
tortoise, content to sit beneath its
shell.
But it is time for the tortoise
to rouse herself, learn something
of this wonderful country in
which her husband is fighting; let
her learn something of it's history.
something of it's language, If only a
few words to greet him, when he
returns.
Love is the great miracle worker,
If she cares enough, she will not
grudge the hours spent in self i'm
provement. Let her take a lesson
from the woman in the Brooklyn
court who said: THE main trouble
in our married life was that my
husband made no effort to pro-
gress - he was content to remain a
hut"
If you care enough about your
life partner don't stay in a hut,
progress!
