Apart from the discomfort of this
method of travelling and the slow
time l made, there was an added
danger to me in the fact that the
squash, squash noise which l made
might easily be overheard by Bel
gians and Germans and give my po-
sition away. Nobody would cross a
swamp or marsh in that part of the
country unless he was trying to get
away from somebody, and realized
my danger but could not get around
it.
Cows Yokcd With DOnkeys
1t was a common sight in Belgium
to see a small donkey and COM
mon ordinary milch COW hitched to-
gether, pulling a wagon. When 1
first observed the unusual combina-
ton 1 thought it was a donkey and
OK or bull, but closer inspection re-
vealed to me that cows were being
used for the purpose.
From what 1 was able to observe,
there must be very few horses left

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax

What kills married love?" Al
, unhappy woman put the question to
me in a letter the other day, and
then proceeded to answer 1T. Money
is the chief cause of domestic UNI
happiness. Other married woes may
be endured with dignity, patience,
resignation, but there is something
degrading about the disputes that
arise over money"
My correspondent then went on to
tell me about her own case. she
and her husband had been through
everything together-poverty sick
ness, the death of child, then sue
cess and prosperity. But breakers
were now ahead, because they could
not compromise their differences on
money matters.
The wife insisted that she was not
cNtravagant, ana to prove her claim,
went on to tell that in their lean
years she often did all the house
hold work, besides caring for the
children and doing the family sew
ing.
And now that her husband was
prosperous, even more than pros
porous, she felt that little ease
and comfort were only her due.
But" she went on to say, 'he all
lows me for household expenses
but little more than he gave mel
in our direst poverty. lie still eX-I
poets me to do a great deal of the
housework, and gives me no per-
sonal allowance at all"
The matter came to a climax
when she ordered some necessary
clothing at a department store, and
had the bill sent to her husband,
who promptly refused to pay it; she
appealed to a woman relative who
settled the bill, and now the wife cN-
poets to sue for separation and MAIN
tenance.
Prosperity Is Fatal
An extreme case, you will say,
and very probably it is, but varia-
tions on this distressing and sordid
theme disturb the peace of far tCo
many American families. The amaz-
ing thing is that people can face pov-
erty together-they can scrimp and
save and do without-but prosperity
will upset the domestic ship in seven
cases out of ten.
People who have been through
everything together, as this woman
says, sickness and the death of u
child" will turn and rend each 9TH
er for a few miserable dollars and
some sticks of worthless furniture.
They forget that in getting down
to this primitive basis and quar-
reling, as their ''arboreal ancestors

for this gambling habit j. b. F..
The gam bling habit is about on
a par with that other horrible foe of
ity-drunkenness. One sure
cure for it is "A sojourn in the poor
house or prison, where the "get-rich-

severely reprima lded me for even
considering the matter. saying that
it would be decidedly unladylike.
Please tell me your opinion on the

These stirring days hearts go out
so eagerly to our brave soldier boys
that il is difficult to realize, some
times that we ought to abide by the
conventions the same as in times of
peace
Doubtless this young man in uni
form is everything he should be -
certainly he is doing his part. But
can't help agreeing with your
brother that an introduction is nee
essary before he writes or calls on
you.
But. with all the organizations and
citizens committees anxious to make
things pleasant for the men in uni
form, an introduction ought not to be
difficult to manage. A number of the
churches are arranging neighborhood
gatherings to give soldiers and sailors
an opportunity to meet nice girls.

| am afraid, Miss r. you must have
killed your handsome sailor boy with
kindness. Men, alas! are often wooed
and won in spite of their most val
liant efforts, but it takes considerab BILE
art to conceal these processes. And
the man likes to preserve the illusion
that he is doing the counting, even
though he has moments of vision in
which he knows that it is beyond him.
The next time you take a fancy
don't pay him very much attention.
Let him do this and try to preserve
a discreet attitude of receiving his ad-
dresses, gracefully.
Nothing alive enjoys being shooed
to it's fate, whether it is a chicken
about to be decapitated, or a man
urged to propose. A semblance OF
leaving the situation in his hands
will work miracles, even though he
was doomed from the beginning.

BUSINESS LEAGUE BOOSTERS
NUMBER FOUR.
BY ALBION l.. Holsey.


Every once in n while you can hear
someone say I'VE had a good Local
League in our town but 1t went
down" Let me tell you what, In
my Judgment, is the reason why
Local Leaguers run down. The di-
rect or minor cause. in many in
stances, is local petty differences be-
tween individuals: the indirect or
major cause is the apparent inabil-
ity of the members of the Local
League to understand and appreciate
their opportunities for service
through this organization.
In my observations regarding GER
tain cities, we are seeking to deal
with the larger aspect of the situa-
tion only, and the observations are
based upon conditions as they existed
in 1916.
Let us compare Augusta, Georgia.
and Shreveport, Louisiana, both en-
terprlsing southern cities of about
the same size and same Negro popu-
lation. Augusta has a most unique
cooperative grocery store, owned
and operated by colored people with
more than a hundred stock holders.
A capable manager is in charge OF
the store and II is an inspiration to
see how the venture has succeeded
In the insurance field, Augusta
stands with the leaders. Four or
five strong companies with more
than a hundred hustling agents take
care OF the bulk of business among
the colored people. The spirit OF
progress is evident in Augusta. with
the successful cooperative effort
and the large proportion OF insur-
ance business handled by Negro
companies. and yet Augusta has no
first class Negro drug store.
On the other hand, Shreveport has
two very striking and successful
Negro drug stores but the insurance
situation is pathetic. One Negro
company with three agents and the
Negro population equal to that OF
Augusta. Clearly here is work for
two enterprising hustling Local Lea
CUES; one in Augusta to get that drug
store among other things, and one
in Shreveport to arouse the people
to the necessity of turning all of that
insurance money into Negro enter
prises where 1t will help our boys
land girls.
