DOROTHY DIX TALKS
BY DOROTHY DIX
Werld's Highest Paid Woman Wfitsr.
A Career Cure.-2.

The husbands of these ladies, who
SO bemoan the fact that their talents
are tied up in tho family table CLOTH
make a fatal error when they try to
keep their wives at home. Every
man who has wife who is sure she
is a wasted genius should urge her to
go to it at once. II not sooner, and
have a try out Of her talents, and get
her real number. For in that way,
and that way only. can she work the
career virus out of her system.
Perhaps once in a million times it
would develop that the woman had
genius. That would be all right, be-
cause in such a case nobody has the
right to hide the sacred flame under
the domestic bushe1, or to keep it for
private delectaton. But in all the
other 999.999 cases it would be an
humble and a chastened wife who
would come back home, with all of
her exaggerated ideas of her abilities
and glad enough that she had home
to come back to. and a good husky
man to make living for her
For there are two things that the
woman who has never tried to make
her way in the world doesn't know.
callous public uses a very different
measuring stick in gauging talent
from the one used by ones friends
and dinner guests. The woman who
has fancied herself a great emotional
actress because she was applauded to
the echo when she recited Little
Ma-abel with her fa-a-ace against
the window pa-a-ne" in a cracked
voice at the church sociable, OF who
has been urged to go into grand opera
after she sang THE End of a Perfect
Day. to guests who had three rounds
of cocktails, finds out that real mana
gers laugh at her when she shows
them what she can do
She also ascertains that the poorest
professional is a million times better
than any gifted amateur, and that the
talent that looks SO big in SQueedunk
shrinks to infinitesimal proportions on
Broadway.
The second thing the nea~-genius
learns is that even when one has tai
ent that the road to career is long
hard and rocky; that it means such
work, such self denial, such sacrifices
as she has never dreamed of. and
tbe patient swallowing of such affronts
as she cannot stomach. 1t is only i'll
fiction that there is any quick and
easy success. In real life success is
only won thru blood and tears.
Wherefore, the near genius wife
packs her trunk upon a day and HES
back home, and husband never has to
hear again of the sacrifice she made in
marrying him.
The only cure for the career craze
Is to let woman go up against it
good and hard. That brings her to
her senses.

Senator Thompson, in a speech in
the senate following his return from
his European trip told of immense
aeroplanes which are being built in
England, planes which would carry
large numbers of passengers or tons of
explosives. Illustrative of the success
of these new monsters of the air is a
dispatch from Paris which tells of the
recent transportation of a full-sized
upright piano from London over the
English Channel to Paris, thus fore
shadowing the inauguration of the
first long-distance commercial aerial
freight line. If the news of this
voyage reach the people of Ger
many they may realiz. the opportuni-
ties for unloading a cargo of high ex-
plosives over Berlin.

LEST WE FORGET.

Interest in the rapid developments
of the war situation and in the ques-
ton of who is to fill the offices within
the gift of Kansas people should not
cause them to overlook the impor-
lance of casting their ballots next
month in favor of what has come to
be known as the Permanent Income
Amendment" to the constitution. 1t
provides for the levying of fixed tax
for the support of the states educa-
tional institutions.
A significant fact connected with
the Permanent Income Amendment
and the future of education in Kan
sas after the war is that the presi-
dents of the denominational colleges
want the appointment adopted. The as
ISOLATION of college presidents to which
they all belong, has officially asked
the voters to vote yes" on November
5. President Pihlblad of Bethany
college. Lindsborg, voiced their views
when he said: THE proposition is
worthy of the endorsement of every
Kansas voter. 1t will mean a step
forward not only for the state institu-
lions but for those under private con-
troll as we'll"
In endorsing the proposed amend
ment Senator Curtis says:
1.-The proposed change to provide
funds for the maintenance Of the state
educational institutions is a wise one
and 1 hope it may receive the support
of the voters of Kansas. Our educa-
tional institutions are a great success
and have done and are doing splendid
work and they are entitled to have an
ample maintenance fund"
