DOROTHY DIX'S TALK
THE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW.
BY DOROTHY DIX,
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

household management, and criticizing
the way she does things. No mother
can be so blind as not to see that her
sons happiness depends upon his stay
ing in love with his wife, and that
she jeopardises this when she runs con-
tinually to him with tales that reflect
on his wife.
Hence, just because it will make her
son miserable If she and his wife do
not get along together, and just be-
cause It will turn his home into a
place of strife and pickering If she
and MS wife are always quarreling, and
Just, because she has seen such family
feuds end SO disastrously so many
times, It behooves the mother-in- law
to make more sacrifices Of her personal
l~nclinations to get along with her
daughter in-law than any egotistical,
ever make to get along with her.
1t isn't faic or just, Of course, but
life is never fair or just to mother
hood. II Is always mothers who must
give without even hope Of receiving.
But this does not absolve the
daughter-in-law from doing her part,
and there is nothing stranger in the
world than that the great mass Of
women find their antagonism to their
mothers-in-law so great that they
shirk of the most sacred obligations
that life lays upon them.

looked at her own son and realized that
in the course OF a few years he, too,
would marry and set up a home OF
his own, that she would be afraid not
to treat her mother-in-law as she
would wish her sons wife to treat her.
But apparently neither of these con-
s~lderations has any weight with the
daughter-in-law. Her Jealousy blots
out her sense Of justice ana makes her
ignore the mothers claim that goes SO
much farther back than the wife's.
Often it fills her with a brutal cruelty
husband from his old mother. And that
Is the unforgivable sin.
No matter how tactful and discreet
she is, the mother -in-law is not always
successful in propitiating the daughter
in-law, but the daughter-in-law can al
she will make the slightest effort to
conciliate her. For old people are very
humble. They do not expect youth to
pay them much attention, n when
youth does stop to consider them they
are flattered beyond reason.
You a see this Illustrated In the
triumphant way in which an occasional
woman boasts that her daughter-in-law
always consults with her about the
children, that her daughter-in- law asks
how to cook certain dishes. She speaks
as one. might who had been signally
honored by some great ~potentate. And
other women who are snubbed by their
daughters -in-laW, and who know thai
they are barely tolerated In their sons
house, look at her with awe and envy.

The great war is not the one which
has just been fought on the fields Of
Flanders and Belgium. 1t is the war
that is fought in the family circle be-
tween mothers-in-law and daughters
in-law.
Great as was the cost in tears and
sorrow of the war that Is just ended,
It's sutferings were as nothing to the
heart-break and agonies Of this war
mat women wage upon each other. Nor
did the Huns, In their demoniacal fury,
wreck so many homes and orphan SO
many helpless children as good women
do In their senseless domestic strife.
For this struggle over the man they
both love and for authority in the home
never ends. 1t is a war that goes on
perpetuallyi generation after generation,
and 1t 10 a fight in which no quarter
Is given and no truce asked, and that
ends only in the death OF one or the
other OF the combatants.
There are those that say that human
nature will have to be made over be-
fore any league OF nations can put a
stop to political war. Certainly femi-
nine psychology will have to be remod-
eled and regenerated and generally al
tered before this domestic war ceases,
because there seems to be something In
the mere relationship between mother
ln-laW -ln-laW tnat rouSes
every drop Of fighting blood in their
veins, and sets them at each others
threats.
Generally speaking, 1t is the place of
the mother-in-law to fly the white flag
OF peace and to initiate the armistice.
This Ia because the mother-in-law, be-
ing older, should have more wisdom,
more ~self-control and a broader point
Of view. Also a mother generally loves
her son more unselfishly than any wife
loves her husband, and she should,
therefore, be more prepared to sacrifice
herself for him than his wife is..
No mature can have learned
so little from life as not to know that
the one thing that another woman
won't brook IL to have a mother-in-
law continually interfering with her

MANAGEMENT

A small railway station, not far from Memphis. a few wears
ago paid the agent a commission on all freight and express
handled. The commission amounted to about 500 a wear
There was but one store, and the s~torekeeper was very glad to
act as freight agent, as he received practically all the FREIGHT
shipped there, and was equally glad to be express agent, as he
forwarded eggs and produce by express, Then the government
took over the railroads. An operator was given the position
His wages were about $lo5 a month. Then he was reduced to
an e~ighthour basis. OF six passenger trains daily the agent
meets only two that stop there. He does not work on Sunday.
Since the establishment of the %eight-hour basis he is pad about
Sl35 a month. There is no more freight or express or passenger
traffic than there was ten years ago, and probably there never
will be any more than there is now. This is a sample OF the
operation of the railroads under government control, and one of
the explanations OF the enormous deficit, regardless of the
extraordinary increase in rates. There is no justification for
underpaying a man, and there is no justification in s%quandcring
money with no expectation Of a return in service.
