can see none of its beauty. Also that
no matter how intelligent, how anna
BILE, how agreeable, and charming
person may be, or how fond may
be of him her. we get fed up on
his or her society, and he or she be-
comes an insufferable bore to us.
Matrimony does not change this
patent truth. There is no couple in
the world so devoted that they can
endure being together continually.
without getting deathly weary, and on
each others nerves. They inevitably
reach the point where every little
mannerism. every lite fault and habit
becomes an unforgivable offence. and
where the woman feels that she will
scream if she has to listen to her hus-
bands hacking cough another minute.
or the man feels that he will commit
murder if he has to watch the man
ner in which his wife drinks her cof-
fee at another breakfast
Why, in Heavens name, people
don't use enough intelligence to pre-
vent themselves ever reaching this de-
gree of disillusionment, by not seeing
too much of each other, nobody
knows. Or why. when they find that
they have reached a state of irrita-
bility, where they jar on each other
one or the other hasn't enough sense
to say. Its time I took a little trip
for the good of the family" is past
finding out.
For experience has shown its eff
ficacy a million times. Every man
knows that he is as glad to welcome
his wife back after her summer vaca-
ton as he was glad to have her go,
and every woman knows tina. she goes
away from home thinking her hus-
band a pretty poor makeshift of
man, tho when she comes back he
looks like a prince to her.
Also every woman knows that no
matter how dissatisfied she was with
h Lot f1fANu ta<ar I@r,1
seemed to her, that after few weeks
away from it it becomes the one de-
sirable spot on earth. Change is the
greatest remedy for discomfort, yet
when we find ourselves growing dis
gruntled, we haven't enough sense to
apply it to our own cases.
The fact that husbands and wives
who think they have ceased to love
each other. and that they cannot en-
dure life together. are only suffering
from a surfeit of each others society,
needing but judicious separation to
have their affection revived again, is
amply proven by the number of
divorced people who remarry. II
some sort of a trial divorce could be
instituted by law, so that quarreling
couples could be separated for a year,
with the privilege of resuming their
former relationship, it would prac-
tically eliminate the divorce evil.
Another potent source of misery
that could easily be dispelled by the
use of little common sense is the
abolition of compulsory family life.
Why should we have to be fretted and
harassed by people who are totally
uncongenial because we happen to be
born kin to them? No good purpose
is served, and the sooner that WEI
realize that it is better to live in peace
with strangers than to fight with our
sisters and brothers and cousins and
aunts and mothers and fathers. the
sooner will we make life worth living.
1t is pitiful to think how unneces-
sari1y unhappy SO many people are,
and how easily they could make them
selves happy if they only had enough
Intelligence to do il.

work, a tall figure came from the
library to meet her.
"Why Warren" she exclaimed
with little catch in her voice, as She
extended both hands to meet his out
stretched ones.

pulling her hands from his restraining
clasp as she turned to lay off her
wraps and collect her startled senses.

walked into the library.
Why didn't you let me know
"Because-I-wel1I wanted to sur

! word were forced from him, as taking

port.
CT wanted to see if you were glad to

he questioned, looking her full in the

| Fighting for time to meet that
which she saw in his face; she an
swered: "Of course. 1 am always

surprised she dropped her hand. For
once she was too surprised and as

| that you confirmed by face and voice,
when 1 arrived just now. You love
me. l am the captain of your fate.

LET BUSINESS PROCEED.

The government is about to call
upon the country for subscriptions to
another liberty loan. The liberty
loan campaign will be followed by
another for the Red Gross. Both
dem. nds will be met as every call
made in consequen ;e of the war has
been met up to this time Successful
campaigns along these lines can be re-
peated indefinitely Unless there shall
be too much curtailment of business
as a result of the economy propa-
ganda.
The normal savings of the people
of the United States at the outbreak
of the war in 1914 were estimated at
5000, 100000 or $4,000, 100000 a
year; in 1917 they were estimated at
s14, 900 or SIS. 1000, 100000, and
an increasing measure of thrift is re-
Elected on all sides-in the investment
MAJ ket, savings banks, life insurance
companies, etc. To carry a thrift pro-
gram beyond the point of this ra-
/ tional increase might serve only to
depress business. destroy values and
create unemployment.
OF course the government should
have right-of-way in the production
of materials for war, but beyond that
required for the governments present
use there is tremendous productive
capacity which certainly should not
| be dried up by arbitrary rulings or
! false economic theories. Tt is certain
that the spirit of optimism must be
kept alive and that good cheer is an
important factor in financing our way
to victory which must not be over
| looked. 1t is out Of such soil that gov
eminent loans and taxes must spring
Business men and wage earners
cannot lend money to the government
unless they can make money And
business must earn more money this
year than last year. The government
is going to need more money. and in
creasingly more money, before this
war is won.
There must be discrimination, OF
course, between that which is essen
tial and that which is non-essential
Bnt no legitimate business. which car
raake money without competing witt
the government, is ron-essential. Ir
fact, it is very essential because money
is one of the most important MUM
tons OF war. And, it should be re-
membered, the people who earn the
money in such businesses are among
those who invest largely in the gov
ernment's war loans, and who pay
taxes

TRAVELETTE
When the President Speaks.
BY NTKSAH.

Historic occasions succeed one an
other rapidly in Washington nova
days. None of them causes a greater
stir in all circles than one of Presi-
dent Wilson's addresses to congress
BY appearing in person before the
joint session, the president has not
only shown how valuable an element
in the delivery of a message is the di-
rect impingement of personality; he
has also provided the people of the
capital with little ceremonies which
have the real dramatic touch
Often the announcement that the
president will address the congress on
some problem of world importance
comes with little previous warning.
Then there is great rush among
people who must be present. Repre-
sentatives in automobiles stretch the
speed limit; correspondents overcoat-
less in the chill spring air arrive
breathless at the press entrance SEN
atorial offices are besieged with re-
quests for passes to the visitors gall
lery. A stream of cars and pedes-
TRANS presses and swirls about the
steps OF the capitol.
The joint sessions are held in the
chamber of the house of representa-
tives, block of seats being set aside
for the senators. The great, dim room
with its confusing cross-lights is
filled to the last row of benches, in
v,
restless appearance of routine ses-
sion. The faces of cabinet members
look down from their gallery; the
diplomatic benches are full.
Mr.. Wilson enters briskly, with an
air of making direct for the point He
shakes the speakers hand, and a
moment later his incisive voice pene-
trates to every corner of the great
listening char Der. He speaks in
clear, level tones, and makes his en-
phasis by the use of concentrated
earnestness of enunciation. He never
shouts; his delivery is never impas-
stoned or oratoricaL He makes the
intellectual and not the emotional APP
peal; he seeks. not to move his hear
ers, but to convince them. The mes
sage moves quickly and logically to a
reasoned conclusion. Never were the
| issues heavy for millions with the
chances of hope and desire, joy and
suffering. life and death, treated
with a more unimpassioned and i'm
| personal rationalism.,

A HERO EVERY DAY
Brave Deeds of Men in
Americas Fighting Service

Matching themselves against a dam

on duty in the Dominican republic did
some cool thinking and quick acting
which resulted in their being specially
