DOROTHY DIX TALKS
BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Wrttsr.


It is the custom to rank gossiping
among :he seven daily sins. When
we wish to utterly condemn woman,
we call her a gossip, and when we
desire to pay a woman superlative
compliment that ranks her along with
the saints and the angels, we say that
she never talks about her neighbors.
Yet no less ar authority on femi-
nine charms than Robert LOUIS
Stevenson declared that the first quail
ity OF a desirable wife was that she
be a good gossip, and no matter how
much we may theoretically disapprove
of gossiping, in our secret souls every
one of us agree with him.
For there is gossip and gossip. There
is scandal mongering, back-biting, and
tale bearing, and there is also the
pleasant little interesting chit-chat
that is kindly, humorous and human,
and that gives the spice to daily life.
The ability to gossip in the right
way is the most elegant, delightful and
graceful of all feminine accomplish
ments, and one that it is far more i'm
portant a woman should cultivate than
playing the piano, singing or reciting,
for we can purchase canned music and
read our own selections of poetry and
dialect, but no substitute has yet been
invented for lively and breezy con-
versation.
And conversation to be interesting
must have the human touch. 1t must
be about people. and chiefly about
the people we know. Nobody can
.. imagine a happy evening spent listen
ing to description of scenery, or. the
discussion of ethical questions, or alb
stract PHILOSOPHERS. These things
only become vital to US as they af-
feet people. Our chief interest in the
Alps is because a man we know, once
~; hot Ia
of the Marine will always be the most
| tragic in the great war for us be-
| cause boy we loved was killed there.
| The real reason we are for prohibit
| ton is because friends son drinks
| too much.
| It is the human note that is the
key note of really interesting con-
versation, and unless a woman knows
how to strike this, she is the dead1iest
and dullest of all bores. Some women
have the gift of this. They cannot
go down the street without coming
back with a little budget of entertain
| ing gossip.
They have seen a news boy do some
act that is half pathetic and half
| humorous. They have caught whiff
| of the perfume of a romance be-
tween some girl and boy. They have
encountered lean and sallow spinster
| buying the Bloom OF Youth by the
quart at a cosmetic counter in a
| store. They have been to see a
| bride, and come home with a funny
| story about her adventures with a
! cook. They know the latest details
| Of the Browns baby's first tooth, and
| cousin Johns new wife, and what
| make the Jones new automobile is.
There is not word of malice or
/ unkindnesS in the whole bundle of
small talk. 1t is just moving pic
| ture of the daily life one is familiar
! with and interested in, and the woman
who reels it off keeps her family en-
tertained and amused, and satisfied
to stay at home.

After final verification of the applica-
ton the record goes to the disbursing
office where the checks are written
= i forwarded.
This is the regular process of an
application fully made out, facts cor
rect, no contesting claims of depen-
dents. Ass each step involves care
full consideration. and as some $4,000
applications are being received every
day, the war risk bureau asks depen-
dents who, are anxious about their
financial affairs not to file a COM
plant until a man has been in service
at least two months.
The new amendment to the war
risk insurance act will, it is believed,
simplify the work of the bureau to a
considerable degree Before, mans
compulsory allotment depended upon
the amount of his pay, thus requiring
in each instance computation by the
bureaus employees to ascertain the
exact amount to be deducted. Now
the compulsory allotment toward wife
and children is in every case fifteen
dollars a month.
The war risk bureaus account of its
ten months existence shows that it has
sent out 100000 checks for allow
ances and allotments, aggregating
5O,OO0,000. The bureaus 10000 en-
ployes are working on day and night
shifts in order to keep up with current
business.

AFTER THE WAR.

Frank A. Vanderbilt. president of
the National City bank of New York,
ia one of those who confidently believe
this nation is certain to enjoy period.
Of great and widely distributed pros
perity after the war. Present condi-
lions are abnormal and but tempo
rary, declares Mr.. Vanderlip, who
further points out that the return of
peace will necessitate a process of re-
adjustment, in anticipation of which
wise business men already are max
ing their plans sand preparations.
There is little danger of any real cri-
sis in business or financial affairs,
however, and when the country gets
squared away for normal times every
thing will be favorable for a period
of unprecedented activity and effort,
which will mean prosperity for every
one.
Even the heavy taxation which will
continue after the war will not be felt,
for the money thus taken by the gov
eminent quickly will be returned to
the usual channels of trade and indus
try. Taxes paid, in other words,
speedily will be returned to the peo-
pie, and in many instances directly to
those who pay the taxes. AS an il
lustration of how this will occur, it is
estimated there are now about 35,-
10000 holders of war savings securi-
ties, and the last issue of liberty bonds
alone was distributed among more
than IT O00 0n0 si1hSeribers
Much of the heavy indebtedness
caused by the war, in other words. is
represented by credits held by the
people themselves, who will receive
the interest on their securities, and
eventually the principal also. Moth
ing could furnish a more solid and
substantial basis for real and lasting
prosperity, or more conducive to the
material progress and success of the
nation as a whole. In addition to this
the country will be more effectively
equipped industrial1y than ever be-
fore, and it's productive capacity cor
respondingly enlarged. General pros
perity cannot fail to flourish under
such conditions, and all will have an
equal chance to share in this pros
perity.
1t is a rosy picture, indeed, that thus
il painted for this nation after the
war. And the best of it is, remarks
the Northwestern of Oshkosh, Wis.
that it seems to be a truthful picture
and one that will oe fully realized
with the return of peace and normal
conditions.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1918-09-02

The new revenue bill which the
house ways and means committee has
completed it is said will reach directly
Or indirectly every citizen of the coun-
try. This is as it should be. But the
fault which customarily attaches to
tax laws is that they do not reach all
citizens in accordance with their abil-
ity to pay. Probably the measure about
to be enacted is no exception to the
rule. The greatest difficulty in levy
ing and collecting a just and equitable
tex must always lie in the seeming i'm
possibility of overtaking the tax dodg-
ers No wholly satisfactory system of
taxation has ever been devised and
many criticisms of the proposed law
may confidently be expected. Special
interests, as they always do, will be-
siege the halls of congress during the
consideration of the bill in an effort
to escape as much as possible of the
burden. But after all if it bring in
the amount of money that the gov
eminent needs there probably will be
little audible grumbling. The people
arc so thoroly in earnest about win
ming the war that they will not be
over particular about methods Be
sides the new taxes will not be due
until next year.
