DOROTHY DIX TALKS
BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer
Checr-O.-2.

Women have not only been the
champion grievers of the world but
they have taken a pride in being mel
ancholy. A woman Who has had any
sort of disappointment, or any kind
of trouble. takes pride in never get
ting over it." A broken heart that one
could exhibit to her friends Is treas
ured as if it was Mayf1ower clock,
and a real free weeper takes as much
self satisfaction in the possession of
her tear ducts as she would in having
a CALI Curci voice.
Nor is this all. Women generally
have regarded a cheerful woman with
suspicion. She didn't seem just mice"
to them. At any rate they were sure
she was light minded and didn't take
they felt that a woman who actually
laughed out loud was no better than
she should be. 1t is significant that
the word "gay" is a term of oppro-
ter when applied to a woman.
But among the many changes that
the war has brought about is this al
tered point OF view of women con-
corning cheerfulness. For the first
time in their lives they have perceived
courage that refuses to surrender to
misfortune. and that faces the BURST
ing bombs Of fate with a smile.
This is why, at a time when women
have more real griefs than they ever
had before. you see fewer melancholy
faces, and when many of them have
more to weep over than they ever had
before, they are shedding no tears.
They are making a business of cheer
fulness, because they have realized
that each one OF us helps make or
break the morale of our country.
The women who used to spend hours
telling you about their poor health,
and all the details of the major opera
tons they had undergone, never men,
| ton disease now. They smile and say
they are quite well when you ask
them how they are.
The women whose visits you dread
ed because they would spend hours
soaking you in their tears while they
recounted to you the stories of their
| quarrels with their husbands have
ceased their lamentations now. If
| they have got any troubles they keep
them to themselves instead of passing
them around amongst their friends.
The woman who has lost her money
the woman who has to work. the wife
whose husband doesn't understand
| her, the mother who has wasted
thirty years of unavailfng sorrow
weeping over her baby's little shoe
| have all dried their eyes. and have
packed up their troubles in their old
kit bags. and are smiling. smiling
! smiling.
Perhaps in their hearts they still
shed tears of blood, but they have
found out how cowardly a thing it /.
to add ones own personal woes to the
great sorrow of the world. and they
| are trying to help others forget theil
grief by turning bright face upor
them.
Strange that the war has laugh
1women the duty of cheerfulness. Blu
it has.

LOOKING AHEAD.

The coming of peace brings the
country face to face with the question
of what is to be the business situation
after the war. Continued prosperity
is certain to depend largely on the
trend of prices. That there will be a
decline appears certain and if it be
not too rapid or too great all may go
well. Sudden and violent slumps in
prices always have resulted in business
stagnation and curtailed employment
OF labor
Among the factors which will tend
to keep business off the rocks, it may
be mentioned that agriculture is pros
porous and quite certainly will be for
the year to come, and this means
buying power in the largest single
group of the population. The foreign
demand for all raw materials should
be large. which includes the metals,
copper, lead, zinc and silver, and the
districts in which these are produced
should Be busy. The demand for cot
ton and cotton goods should be such
as to make the south prosperous, and
to give employment to theNmills in all
sections.
Ship-building presumably will con-
tinue thruoNt next year, and this will
not only give employment in the
yards but furnish an outlet for steel.
The agricultural implement business
will also have a large export trade.
and will use an important amount of
steel. The automobile industry
| showed no signs of being affected by
the rise of materials, and only asks
| to have the latter supplied. Machin-
cry of many kinds will be ~-anted for
replacement abroad.
Lumber and builders hardware and
steel and railway equipment presum-
ably will be wanted abroad for re-
building, but the extent of this de-
mand cannot be calculated. Speaking
generally. foreign trade lhould be bet
ter than before the war. II means are
found by which woufd-be customers
can make payment.
Business prospects hinge, OF
course says a bulletin issued by the
National City bank of New York
upon the question of employment
and that in turn depends upon the
urgency of the consumptive demand
for products. 1t is beyond question
that there is plenty of work at honRe
/ and abroad which ought to be done;
the whole world is short of consum-
able goods and behind on construc.
ton work. The question is, will pri-
vate consumers buy freely and private
enterprise go ahead freely upon the
present level of prices, in view of the
fact that prices are sure to make i'm
portant recessions after all the mer
now in the armies and war industrie:
are returned to peace work?'
The war work goes ahead regard.
less of cost. but private consumption
is reduced by high prices and private
investors may hesitate to place capita
at high initial cost, when there is &
probability that the same property car
be obtained later at a cost MATERIAL,
less.
The government being in control o
tthe transportation lines will be in
position to do much toward prevent
ing any serious slowing down in trad
and curtailment of employment for la
Dor.
