Remarkable growth of the work of
the division of Cancellation, United
States department of labor, during the
last year is shown in the annual re-
port of the secretary, William B. Will
son. The division handled 1,217 cases
during the year and adjusted S65. The
mediators were unable to arrange an
adjustment in only II instances; 20S
eases were pending at the end of the
fiscal year. &c had been referred for
final adjudication to the national war

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
Should Husbands and Wives Develop
Each Other?-S.

Each Other?-2.
OF course if we brought any intel
ligence to bear-which we do not
upon the great problem of how to be
happy tho married, husband and wives
would not be guilty of the crime of
hindering each others development in
any line. They would perceive the i'm
portance of introducing new interests,
new enthusiasms, and sympathies into
their lives to take the place of the
old ones of which time is bound to
rob them.
That would make a woman encour-
age her husband to develop every pos
sibIe power of mind and body, to use
his talents, to study, to learn, to grow,
instead of sinking into mere money
making machine, or an automaton
that worked on a shuttle between
home and office, and has no knOwl-
edge or interest outside of the shop.
1t would make the man encourage
his wife to keep uA her little accom-
plishments, to practice her music, to
keep up her painting and drawing. to
pursue whatever studies she had taken
up before marriage, to even go in for
clubs and movements if she has eXecu-
tive ability, or to become a champion
tennis or golf player if she has ath-
letic tendencies.
He would help her develop whatever
facility she had into a faculty instead
of letting her degenerate into fab
by, peevish, aimless creature whose
horizon is bounded by her own home
and bargain sale.
Nothing would do more to elimi-
nate the dullness of married life than
for husbands and wives to try to help
each other to make the best of them
selves. instead of praying for grace
and patience to stand each other as
they do now.
IL,
and wives to try to develop each 9TH
er. If a man marries a girl who has
had little opportunities of education
and who is not bookish,s instead, of
giving up his own reading and sink
ing to her plane of illiteracy, he should
read to her, talk to her about books
and try to get her interested in them.
He should try to life her up instead
of letting her be a milestone about his
neck to pull him down.
Men are much to blame when they
have blockhead wives, for there are
very few women who will not respond
to their husbands interest in their
development, and who are not willing
to work and study if their husbands
desire them to.
OF course it must be admitted that
when husbands and wives undertake
to correct each others faults they
tread on dangerous ground, because
Iney SIrlKe Qedtn dow at vanity.
Each likes to believe that he or she is
perfect in the eyes of the other, and
it IS a shock to discover that the one
whom you suppose has regarded you
as an angel considers your taste in
novels that of a chambermaid, or the
being whom you have supposed re-
garded you as a hero shudders when
she sees you eat peas.
Still the thing can be done IL it is
done tactfully and gently. Love is an
anaesthetic under whose influence
even faults can be amputated without
pain. and certainly the marriages in
which affection and interest never die
are those in which the husband and
wife help each other to a mutual
growth and DEVELOPMENT.

YOU MUST BE RICH TO
EAT POULTRY OR FISH

Old hens sold in Milford markets
last Saturday for 3S cents per pound
alive, and at that price a good sized
hen cost from S2.40 to $500 each. That
was the price of a turkey three years
ago. The cause for this excessive
cost of live poultry was the Lenten
season and Jewish holidays. and farm
ers and poultry growers generally took
the opportunity to send to market all
the ancient hens and rOosters of their
iOcks. This converts a goodly sum
into cash for farmers and farmers
wives. who will undoubted invest in
Victory Bonds and thus have an in
come regularly from this realization
of cash from ancient poultry. which
generally went 10 market AT iUT pI Iio5 ICES
in the late spring and summer.
Fishermen are also reaping a har-
vest from their efforts with seines and
fishing nets. Automobiles come from
Wilmington and Philadelphia and buy
the shad and other fish direct from the
seines and pay prices almost equal to
the retail price of fish in the city mar
kets. This results in the~local fish
pedlars either meeting the price of
the foreign buyers or going out of
business, and the result is no fish for
the local home towns. The high cost
of living gets worse.
