The entrance of America into the

upon her ever increasing duties and
obligations. Not only are her repre-
sentatives participating in the forma-
tlon OF a society of nations designed
30 keep the whole world in order. but
it is being suggested at the Versailles
conference that she take over the ad-
lpinistration of Constantinople and the
Dardanelles, as legally constituted

tons

dream of splendid isolation has van

making the world free and rescuing
its people from oppression. we can

have contributed many millions of
dollars for the relief of the Armen-

Probably the main reason for the

why some Men Don't Marry.-2.

Women put such a fictitious vaiue
on love that they are apt to think
that they do their full duty by their
husbands if they love them enough.
More than that. A woman will ex-
cuse the very sins against her nus
band that ruin his life by her affection
for him. She even justifies her jeal-
ousy, her naggfng and her refusal to
let him stir from her side on the
ground of her devotion to him. Tho
her hatred would do him less harm.
Now in a practical world the only
kind of love that is worth a button is
the love that expresses itself in terms
of service. 1t does not matter to a
man what the temperature of his
| wifes affection is If she is drag on
his feet and blight to his career.
Probably every woman in the world
would like to help her husband if she
could, but when she thinks of helping
him she thinks of presenting him with
a million dollars. or being some ro-
mantle inspiration to him and as she
can't do either of these things she
feels that there is nothing that she can
do for him. She never thinks of the
little things that she can do, and it's
the little things that count, and that
the man needs.
The woman who is wasteful and ex-
| travagant doesn't realize that she is
keeping her husband poor, but she is
The garbage can and the old clothes
closet stand between many a man and
fortune. His wifes thriftlessness pre-
vents him from even accommodating the
nest egg that would enable him to
take advantage of the golden oppor-
tunity that comes his way.
The " man who lives up to her
husbands income may write herself
down as a hindrance to him, and one
of the women who keep bachelors
from marrying.
The woman who is peevish and dis
contented, nd who makes of her
home a place of discord diminishes her
husbands power of achieving things
by half. The man who starts out to
work with his mind full of domestic
worries and bitterness that he must
put aside before he can give his atten-
ton to his business, or profession, has
at least SO per cent less brain power
vitality, enthusiasm and ambition than
has the man who has gone from a
happy, contented home and from a
wife who was an inspiration instead of

In matrimony there is no middle

or q curse, help or a hindrance
switch are you? Are you one of the
| women who are red lantern of warn
| ing against matrimony to bachelors.
or a wife who makes them think long
| ingly of home, sweet home?

According to the federal bureau OF
schools will be teaqherless this year
unless married women, who once
taught, and other former teachers, can
be induced to return to the school
room. This cry of a shortage of teach
ers has become persistent. 1t never
seems to occur to anybody that there
would be more teachers if they were
paid more money. The average school
teacher is the hardest worked and
poorest paid person in the world. He
has great difficulty in saving enough
money out of his meager salary while
he is employed to tide him over the
three or four months of non-employ-
Inent There is no good reason why
schools should not continue turnout
the year. just as does any other bust
ness. If the patrons of the schools
feel differently about this, then they
should at least pay the teacher for
lost time. Even under the existing
scale of wages the supply of teachers
might be increased by offering them
yearly contracts. AS a further means
of obtaining and retaining good teach
ers rural school communities should
build houses for their teachers to oc-
eupy rent free, just as the churches
build homes for their pastors. The
original outlay for a teachers house
soon would come back in the form of
more efficient service and avoidance
of the necessity of continually advanc-
ing salaries.

As an Indication of what may be
eminent continue in control of the
wire service the experience of England
is worthy of consideration. The Brit
ish government took over the tele-
graph systems of the United Kingdom
in 1870, at cost of about SIS, 100000.
For the first two years the government
made a little money after charging in
terest on the debentures issued for the
purchase. Since that time it is claimed
that there has been an annual deficit
after providing interest. The post
master general of Great Britain in
1914 stated that telegraph expendi-
lures by the government had exceeded
receipts by $110,0O0,0O0, during the
previous forty years, not including in
terest on the annual losses or any pro-
vision for amortization. The annual
loss by Great Britain for account of
its telegraph companies is placed at
about 100000 per year, and this ia
cludes no charge for interest on the
aggregate losses for previous years.
This loss of course falls on the tax
payers. And in spite of this the pub
lie of Great Britain pays a slightly
higher rate for messages of CORE
spending length and sent a corre-
spending distance than has been paid
in this country.
