Take it another way. Suppose those
100000 passengers which were car
ricd by motor car had ridden entirely
in railroad trainsfifty passengers to
a car. 1t would mean 100000 loaded
steam passenger cars going clear
across the continent with the 12,000,000
passengers. Think Of the coal 1t would
take to haul 100000 passengers cars
from New York to San Francisco! A
local Indianapolis passenger railroad
official tells us that it would require
100 900 900 tons. 1t is staggering and
fantastic You say: "Anyhow, weren't

that he had enough money for his ex-
penses and a little over. whereupon
he pulled out a roll of bills and count
ed out 500 before the commanding
officer. That astonished individual
asked, ''Where did you get all that
money!" The man replied, MY wife
thought I might need a little spend
ing money, SO she sent me q thousand
dollars" Upon further questioning
he said oil had been discovered on his
land in Oklahoma, hence his riches.
In the small hours of the morning
fire call reused the barracks to a
feverish scrambling into clothes and a
wild grabbing of fire buckets. But in
Company D one rookie slept sweetly
on under his blankets.
HIS bunkie, anxious to save him
from a rude awakening by his cor
poral, shook him sternly and yelled,
Get up. Harry, quick! The war is
over and we are all going home"
Harry, awake at last, seeing every
one rushing downstairs, received the
joyful news with whoop. Leaping
out of his bunk. he threw on his
clothes and, grabbing his suitcase, he
dashed into the company street, where
his comrades were already standing
at attention behind the water buckets.
1t took five minutes to get the COM
pany back to attention, but Harry
hasn't yet entirely snapped out of the
idea that the war ended the night he
answered fire call with a suitcase.

This country has grown so wonder
fully because business men have taken
advantage of their opportunities to de-
velop it's untold<resources. The gov
eminent did not build railroads, devel-
op coal mines, create cotton, wooden,
silk, iron, copper, oil and other great
industries. This was done by business
men. They risked their money in the
enterprises and called into co-opera-
tive effort the intelligent, high-class
labor. for which the United States
takes credit. Yet there now are those
who would have the government take
over and operate all these great in
dustries in whose establishment and
upbuliding it has had no part. The
greatest danger arising from govern
ment operation of public utilities is
that it will stifle initiative and prog
ress. Business enterprises are pro-
jected for profit. The government
lacking this incentive. would be I'M
likely to measure up to the require
ments of a country possessing SO
many undeveloped resources

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
By DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
Appertainlng to and Concerning


Love-.
A young woman asks these ques-
tons:
"Whon a woman does the counting.
SO to speak, do you think man tires
of her, If they marry, sooner than he
would of a wife that he had wooed
himself?
Does 1t show that a man is a nom
entity If he lets the woman take the
active part in love making?"
I should unhesitatingly answer NO
to both questions.
think the woman who is moro in
love with man than he is with her
is more apt to retain his affection than
Is the case when the relationship is
reversed. There are several reasons
why this should be true. 3d.
The first is because in such cases a
woman does not throw away the bait
with which she caught her fish when
she gets married, as Is the custom of
many improvident ladies who have
lured a man to the altar by means OF
beauty, neatness, anna bility, sympathy
and other such charms, and then, hav-
ing secured their meal ticket, have de-
generated into slouchy, sloppy. peevish
shrews.
1t is easy to see how a man, who
has been caught by girls good looks,
would wriggle off the hooks when he
found that her beauty was merely
camouflage, and that when she took
off her complexion, and her hair and
her straight front in the privacy of
home. She was as plain as a mud
fence.
But the man who has married a
woman because she loved him gets a
wife who has an attraction for him
that time cannot wither nor custom
stale.
For as we grow older We crave love
more, not the romantic love OF youth,
but that deep, stronD steadfast affec-
ton that we can lean upon as upon a
staff, sure that 1t will never fail us in
our hour OF need. As life beats and
bruises us in our fight with the world,
more and more we need the love Of
someone close to us to bind up our
wounds With their faith, and salve
; them with the healing ointment of
their affection.
N, woman need be afraid that her
husband will grow tired of her be-
cause she loved him. He may weary
of her for a thousand other different
reasons, but never for that one. The
one voice in the world that never gets
upon our nerves is the voice that sings
our praises; the one story of which
we never hear enough is the saga Of
how handsome, how wonderful, how
, talented and how adored we are. The
homeliest woman singing that song
becomes more attractive to our eyes
than a Venus: the dullest one is en-
dowed with an immortal wit.

is. does this plumbing job fill your ex-

you figure that by stopping that flood

would be doing some good in the

were financing the war by bonds and
the people with the smaller incomes
were finaAcing it by taxes. the reverse
would be true. In that case the poor
of the next generation would be taxed
to pay interest and principal of the

rich, as ultimately were the loans of
the Civil war. This was not "a rich
