The rice crop of thes United States
has practically doubled since the be-
ginning of the war and the crop of
the current year promises to be the
biggest on record. A lecture delivered

the National City Bank of New York
shows that the United States has re-

RETURN TO FRANCE

President Wilson's determination
that Alsace-Lorraine be returned to
France, mi-otficialiy announced, In
dieates the allies are now definitely
agreed on this point.
One of the presidents fourteen
terms states that 1.-The wrong to France
in the matter of Alsace-Lorraine
should be righted." The French al
ways accepted this as meaning the
president favored its restoration, but
it has never been clearly set forth that
this was the presidents purpose until
now.
With the rich iron mines of this
territory definitely wrested from Ger
many. vast danger from German mill
tarism would automatically be elimi-
mated. The German spokesman have
expressed strong determination not to
give up the former French possession.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman WHatsr.
A Career Cure.-1.

Among my acquaintance is a pref
ty young woman who has been bitten
by the moving picture craze. and who
ina gines that she has only to get be-
fore the camera to back Mary Pick
ford, Marguerite Clark and Theda
Bara off the film.
This young woman has a devoted
husband. two beautiful little children,
a luxurious home, and all that her
heart could wish except publicity and
because her picture isn't plastefed up
against billboards all the blessings that
her.
Naturally enough, the husband op-
poses the young womap's plan to for
sake her home for the studio. He
thinks rightly that any married wo-
man can find plenty in the career of
and engage her energies. and that the
best place for her-to star is right by
her own fireside.
But the wife turns a deaf ear to his
arguments and entreaties. She pines
for fame. She hungers for applause.
She longs for wider sphere in which
to display her talents. and because she
can't have them she is cross, peevish
and discontinued anu goes about with
the air of an early Christian martyr
being sacrificed on the altar of duty.
And the husband is desperate and
wants to know what he shall do about
it. .t.-= f. d. 81 = =...-,t r4tI.I 4
Dear man, let her go and try it.
There is only one scure for the career
craze and that is to give the woman
who is afflicted with it a dose of it.
1t is literally q case of where the hair
of the dog is good for the bite.
The world is full of disgruntled wo-
men who are miserable housekeepers,
ill-tempered, vixenish wives, and neg
full mothers because they are con-
WINGED in their own minds that they
are thrown away upon domesticity,
| and that they are wasting upon their
families the talents that would have
made the world sit up and gasp if they
had followed a career instead of being
fool enough to marry.
This is what they are continually
| saying to themselves, and they believe
| every word of it, for nothing Is SO easy
| as self deception, especially when we
are administering soothing syrup to
| our own vanity. And it utterly units
them for the work they are called
upon to do. for you couldn't expect a
| woman who saw herself as a Bern
hardt, or CALI Curci, or an Edna
Porter to take any burning interest in
| turning out workmanlike job OF
bread, or darning little stockings. or
i trying to keep an ordinary business
man happy and fascinated.

The time seems opportune for quot

these: Peace does not seem far dis
tant as it did. hope it will come soon
and come to stay; and so come as to
be worth keeping in all future time.
Still. let us not be over sanguine
of a speedy final triumph. Let us be
quite sober. Let us diligently apply

er which cannot be far distant Broad
" speaking, he continues, there is no
real scarcity of food products. The
number of food animals in the coun-
try is much larger than before the
war. Our food crops generally are
also ample; yet prices soar and soar to
dizzier heights than ever. The adj
vance in commodity prices is partly
due to the scarcity; partly to high
wages of labor. and partly to increased
costs of production and distribution.
The rise, however. is somewhat due to
psychological reasons, and is to a con-
siderable degree the result of nonre-
sistance by the public.
