Women Growing Less Sentimental
BY DOROTHY DIX.
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

woman who makes a fine income said
to mesrecently in discussing an offer
OF marriage that she had received.
l suggested the conventional thing
/ about loneliness and companionship,
and the protecting care of a husband,
to which she replied that she wasn't
lonely. and Furthermore that no one
knew when they were getting a hus-
band whether his companionship
| would be agreeable or not. or even
whether he was going to protect his
wife, or she would have to support
him.
OF course, women are going to fall
| in love and marry when the right
man comes along. The decline OF sem
timeut in the sex isn't going to de-
cline enough to prevent that, but they
| are going to pick out their husbands
! in the future with their heads as well
as their hearts.
The ladies who died Of broken hearts
because they were Tilted by faithless
swains, and who spent forty or fifty
years weeping over a pack of yellow
letters. have no imitators now. Nor
do they appeal to their sisters as ro-
, mantle figures.
On the contrary. they have such a
contempt for the lovelorn that it
stings her into bracing herself up and
keeping quiet il she does not adopt
the up-to-date tactics of the forsaken,
and sue for damages of the heart.
And bad and vulgar a a breath of
pIomise suit is. it is better for a
woman than 1t is to waste her life
grieving over a man who wasn't
worth il.
Even the deserted wife, who surely
has cause if anyone has, to indulge
in self-pity, is beginning to take a
less sentimental and more practical
view of her situation. In proof of
this witness the case of the Iowa
woman who recently went to her rival
and offered to give that lady a quit
claim deed on her husband for $1L75-
which she frankly told the other was
an extravagant price to pay for such
a man.
Undoubtedly, the increase in divorce
is largely due to women beginning to
look on marriage from a practical in
stead of a sentimental standpoint
They used to gild the matrimonial
fetter with sentiment, and that en-
abled them to endure any kind Of
treatment rather than break it. There
was also halo about a husband that
more less justified him even in be-
ing cruel and tyrannical
The woman could not imagine a life
in which she would have to stand
alone. and so she stuck to an unhap-
py married life as being the better of
two evils.
That was the sentimental point of
view. The practical one is that man
in human. and marriage a contract:
that If the marriage yoke gals unen-
durably. and the husband proves a
brute, the wife has a right to free
herself from them. There were just
as many unhappy wives in the past
as the present, but the sentimental
woman bore her wrong, and the un-
sentimental one got divorce.
And in the loss of sentiment among
women is bound up a great ethical
problem.

OF TREASURY GIRLS
Secretary and Mrs. MeAdoo Ad-
dress Large Staff Gathering.


Secretary and Mrs. McAdoo ad-
dressed more than 800 women workers
of the War Risk Bureau yesterday
afternoon in behalf of the Red Cross
war work unit of the Treasury De-
partment, asking the girl workers tc
enroll themselves as members OF the
organization.
After the meeting the audience
pledged cooperation and subscribed
more than $500 for materials to make
garments and dressings needed by the
Red Cross.
This work offered a splendid field
for voluntary, patriotic effort, said
the Secretary. for we were In the
midst OF the greatest and most de-
structive war that had ever racked
mankind, and II was a privilege TO
participate in alleviating the suffer-
ing entailed.
you are in the employ of the gov
ernment," he resumed. "and compen-
or inadeQuately In varying opinions.
But here is an opportunity for you
to do your part in winning the war
which involves work without COM
pensation and high patriotism"
Mrs. McAdoo summed up the work
already done by the Treasury Depart
ment war work unit OF which she is
the leader. and outlined. the work 1t
hopes to accomplish.
During the last few months" she
said, thousands of garments made
by the Treasury employees had been
sent over"
c. F. Nesbit. commissioner Of War
Risk. and w. c. Delaney, director Of
the Bureau OF War Risk Insurance,
made brief addresses.
1t is planned to organize the wom-
en- employees of the War Risk Insur-
ance Bureau into units of not more
than 25, one to be in charge of each
unit, and TO obtain supplies for work.

Tell me. Annie. about Martha
Marlin" l said.
1T is a pretty sad story. Miss
Margaret, so sad that II almost
seems as though 1t could hardly be
true.
IT believe. God help me. that !
would have done the same thing
Miss Margaret. for after all, a wo-
mans personal life is over after she
becomes a mother. I will tell you
the story and then you can Judge
for yourself.
Mr.. Symone got in Just in time
to hear all of 1t and he would not
let them postpone the hearing. .
1T seems that the woman was
above the average in intelligence,
she had been a newspaper woman
when she was younger.
when she first started out to
earn her living she had a number
of theories about women, one of
them that marriage was a failure
and that she would never marry.
Her theory was all right until
she fell in love with one OF the
young men in the office-a chap
who also had some very radical
IDEAS on the subject.
They decided that love was all,
and with nothing more. than the
desire that was in their hearts
they rented a fat and commenced
living together.
Everything went on splendidly
until one morning the girl woke
up to the fact that she was about
to suffer the consequence of her
mad folly. .
For a month or two she kept
1t from the boy-he was not much
older than she-but the secret wore
on her nerves and she became nag
ging and hard to live with.
Then when she could keep it
no longer she told him.
Even she had not realized what
1t would mean until she saw the
boys face after she had disclosed
the. tragic truth.
You must go away he said.

2O6 German Divisions MasSed
on West Front; Many Bat

T .AnnihiIated.

London, May lS.-The most definite
figures yet announced regarding Ger
man losses on the western front this
spring have been given to the Asso-
ciated Press.
Since the beginning OF the offensive
March II, 206 German divisions have
been on the western front. Of which
l26 actually have been engaged on
the Somme and Armentieres fronts.
The 208th German division, which
was one of those suffering most heav-
lily, lost 20 per cent of its electives.
Seven other German divisions are
known to have lost more than 50 per
cent and at least serve other divisions
are named as having lost 40 to 50 per
cent.
Only 10 men to the company were
left in the 10th division after the
fighting of March 22 and q. The
First division was. in similar straits
after reaching Sailley-Laurette on
March 28, and the 234th division was
weakened similarly on April g.

OMAHA IS ASKED

BILL IN CONGRESS

A communication has been received
from the New York Board Of Trade
and Transportation. requesting the
Omaha Real Estate board to me-
morialize members Of congress to
work against provision in labor
bill, which has been introduced, pro-
hibiting manufacturers and contrac-
tors from offering time studies, cash
bonuses or other inducements for in
creased production by workmen dur
ing hours of employment.
The New York board contends that
in times of war there is demand for
the maximum of efficiency and produc-
ton from every individual and any
action or statute that restrains or
limits production is contrary to pub
lie po1icy.

Speed and Tire Wear.

One of the most expert tire men in
the country recently called the atten-
ton of motor car owners to the man
ner in which tire wear increases with
speed. The faster a tire travels the
more heat it generates internally.
Normal speed does not increase the
internal heat to a dangerous degree,
but excess speed will not only raise
the heat above the danger point, but
may actually cause further vulcaniza-
ton to take place. This heat not only
dries out the friction gum between
the plies of fabric but the very fabric
itself, lowering the elasticity OF the
tire, decreasing its resiliency and
weakening the tire so that it will blow
out ear1v.

German Casualties Enormous.
While it is impossible to make from
these figures any exact estimate Of
the total German losses. it is suffi-
GENTLY evident that the enemy cas-

One evidence of this fact is that
the Germans, after calling upon all
available reserve depots in the west

Lead Washers.

Do not forget that fiber washers
should never be used in the fuel line
or in any part of the engine where
the gasoline can get at it. The ac-
ton Of gasoline upon the fiber
washer has a tendency to make the
motor run sluggishly by forming a
deposit OF minute particles from the
fiber. For this reason lead washers
should always be used in the fuel line,
and similar locations.
