tlonshiPs are perhaps a little stag
nant. II you are q thinking per-
son, It gives you something to
think about, and IL you are a feel
ing person here Is your chance to
feel. And II you are q phlegmatic
person It will quicken your sense
Of life.
In spite Of all this, the Tired
Business Man has for years past
fet it be known that he was un-
willing to come to the theater,
above all, to plays that made him
think, and that his wifes place
was at the opposite side Of the
lamp-lighted table In their steam
heated fat.
The people who direct the the
aters have been worried by this.
They've tried to induce the Tired
Business Man to reconsider. They
have delayed the opening hour,
and they've chosen plays so sim
pie that anybody could understand
them when only half awake, and
have really made all the conces-
sions they could think Of.
And still he goes to the theater
only under protest. and his wife
wonders and wonders what she
can do to relieve the dullness of
life.
1t seems to me there are at
least two ways out Of this.
Would He Join a CIubi
Surely it wouldn' the a madly
revolutionary measure II several
wives who share a common weari-
ness of fettered evenings get to-
gether and formed a theater club.
A group Of perhaps a dozen would
be easily manageable. It needn't
be wholly feminine, by any means.
There are certain wakeful and ac-
tive husbands who would be glad
to join.
Plan to go regularly, once or
twice a week. Choose different
types Of shows" in turn. so that
everybody's taste can be gratified.
And II 1t works well, as there is no
reason why it shouldn't, it's quite
likely that in q month or two the
Tired Business Men who have
been left alone at home will begin
to clamor for club membership.
But l think the real remedy will
have to be a bigger one than this.
| think Tired Business Men will
have to see TO it that, they don't
get so unnaturally tired. If they are
in business for themselves, they
ought to knock an hour of their
days and take a walk afterwards,
to get freshened up. Any wife
would be glad to accept a some
what smaller income II her hus-
band could come to seem more like
a live human being during the
time he spent with her.
A man has other duties than to
be q good provider," in the finan-
cial sense. For one thing he has
the duty OF being a friendly COM
panion to his wife.
Does he think he accomplishes
this by remaining his passive,
sleepy self? -

But the conscientious, indus

she needs something quite differ

the most different and stimulating
thing available is the theater. She
loves it. She knows that it is

A Retail Merchant ON Profiteerins.

free OF charge, and j want to say
right here that some weeks my bal
ance in the ledger is on the wrong
side.
Now, will ask why such a howl
from some of these newspapers and
some OF the public, who are getting
more easy money as salaries these
days than they ever got in their lives
before, men in all walks OF profess
sional and business life getting the
same thing, and yet the poor little
retail merchant is being accused and
painted as black profiteer, robber,
and a thief.
1 am trying to educate one child in
Central High School, so that he may
never be so unfortunate as to be ac-
cused of profiteering; he has pur-
chased three Liberty bonds and ex-
poets to go after more from the
money his father did not get from
prohteering.
The retail merchant today positive
ly is not making as good a living as
he was a few years ago. and almost
every persons income or salary has
increased. Take, for instance, the
professional attorney. He can charge
$500 or $4,000 for arguing his case.
and he gets it's he prohteering?
Oh, no! OF course not; he is just get
ting his-that's all!
The physicians have all Increased
their charges; almost everything we
have to purchase has advanced over
double. Why make such a howl
about good things we have to eat
being n little high when everybody
is getting big money except the re-
tail man?
If some merchants can sell their
goods at a lower figure than others
where the expenses are greater, why
not let the purchaser get his goods
at the cheapest place, and not have a
swivel chair salaried dictator with
countless numbers OF high salaried
assistants compelling the retail mer-
chants to sell goods at a price with
not enough profit to live on or else
go out OF business.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
The subject I am writing about Is
classed in the daily papers as prof.
teerIng, and 1 will agree with any
sensible person and go as far as
any one In order to stamp out this
disgraceful crime OF profiteering,
and anyone who is convicted of
profiteering at this stage OF life
should be Jailed forever.
/ want to say that some news
papers have falsely accused the re-
tail merchants OF this city as TO
profiteerIng, and publishing foolish
reports of the retail business with
out the true facts and conditions OF
just what a retail merchant is up
against at the present time. and this
wrong information is misleading the
public as to the policies Of the mer-
chant and is very unjust to the re-
taller who is honestly trying to do
the square thing by everybody.
