A Tip ON thc In.Law Prohlcm.-1.
By DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman writer.

A Tip on the In-Law Problcm.-1.
OF course the only solution of the
mother-in-law problem that really
works is for no mother-in-law and
daughter-in-law to try to live to-
gether. Human nature will have to
be made over. and redeemed ami
sanctified. before the two ,.omen who
love the same man supremely can re-
gard each other without a gnawing
jealousy that eats ell the fiercer into
their souls because one has upon him
the claim of a mother, and the other
the claim of a wife.
Any man who establishes the fatal
triangle of self, and wife, and mother
in his home, and who expects to find
peace and happiness in it is fit sub
ject for an alienist, while girl who
deliberately adds the trial of dealing
with a mother-in-law to the other
trtbulationS of matrimony is even more
imbecile. She has gone out of her
way to hunt for trouble with the GER
tainty of finding it a-plenty.
In all good truth there is no other
danger to a home greater than having
mother-in-law in it. 1t is peril TO
be avoided, if possible, by the prudent
btu it is not possible always to avoid
the danger. Circumstances arise which
make it necessary for mother-in-law
and daughter-in-law to live together,
and then the wise thing, and the right
thing. and the only thing they can do
to conserve the happiness of the man
they love is for them to make The best
of trying situation.
Possibly the most effective way in
which this can be done is for the one
who is staying in the others home to
bear continually in mind that she is
a guest. and to conduct herself ac-
cordingly
If a man takes his wife to live with
his mother let her never forget that
she is in another woman's house. and
that she has no right to interfere in
any way with its established order. or
the manner in which 1t is run. The
young woman may have had the adj
vantage OF course in domestic sci
ence and efficiency: she may be filled
to overflowing with the latest scien-
tfic theories about balanced rations.
and sanitation, while her mother-in-
law still keeps house on the hit-or-
miss plan, and cooks by guess, and
scoffs at a belief in germs.
Nevertheless. it is her. house, and
her way of doing things, and her
daughter-in-law should ADAPT herself
to the ways of the household, as any
other courteous guest would, without
trying to change them.
Also the daughter-in-law should re-
member that when one is a guest in
another's house common decency re-
quires that one should pay much at
tention to ones hostess. especially
when she is an elderly woman, and
take trouble to entertain and amuse
her. No polite guest provokes an
argument with her hostess. or criti-
cizes her tastes, or suggests a different
arrangement of her furniture. Still
less does a uestSpermit herself to say
bitter things to her hostess and get
into spats with her.
Certainly If daughters-in-law would

the would any other woman In whose
house they are staying. 1t would make

An effort is being made to fix the
blame for the defeat of the peace
treaty upon it's friends and supporters.
But it will be noted that those who in
sisted upon nullifying it by impossi-
BILE and uncalled for reservations are
explaining their action. Real friends
OF the treaty are offering no explana-
tion of ther votes and probably will
offer none. They know that their
course meets the approval of a large
majority of the people. Any senator
who honestly thinks he was right
should not feel called upon to apol-
ogize to his constituents for his vote.
M amount of explaining will convince
the people of this country~that they
have not been betrayed. They have
not only been denied the prize for
which they poured out their blood and
treasure but they have been made the
laughing stock OF the world.

WOMEN IN INDUSTRY.

When the government called mil
lions of men into its military and ma
val service and women began to take
their places in many industries, much
uneasiness was expressed regarding
what might happen when the men re-
turned. The men have returned from
the war and nothing OF a serious ma
ture has occurred.
The theory that the employment of
women in industry would reduce the
opportunities for men or lower the
average wages of men has been proven
to be unsound. 1t may have that ef-
feet in individual instances. just as the
Introduction of labor-saving machin-
cry does, but on the whole the use of

would not hesitate to send him to a
Pasteur institute for treatment. The
Pasteur- treatment would save his life
and it is the only thing that could
possibly save his life.
Many animals were sacrificed to
perfect the Pasteur treatment, and
many animals are sacrificed to make
the material for the treatment. Yet
you would never debate the question
whether these animals had as good a
right to life as your child. Thus ar
que the doctors.
They also bring an impressive array
of evidence against the contention and
that vivi-section has accomplished
right to vivi-sect dogs because the
dog lives under much the same condi-
tions of food and shelter as does man.
Modern intestinal surgery is based
largely upon experiments with dogs.
So is knowledge of the heart and of
the circuiatory system. A doctor
would not venture to suture a stab
wound in the heart, but for the ex-
periments that have been made on
dogs. Defense against poisonous gases
during the war was dependent on dogs.
Goats were tried, but it was found that
a goat would not even stop grazing
because of a poisonous gas. Dogs were
affected by it like men, and the de-
fensive mechanisms and treatments
were perfected by experiments with
dogs (efSDraA surgery, lnCluQlnS the
treatment of brain tumors and of
brain injuries, was developed by ex-
periments on dogs. The transplanta
ton, of vital organs was perfected in
the same way.
Chinopodium is the only drug that
cures the deadly disease of hookworm.
1t varies unaccountably in it's compost
ton and effect. Each fresh lot which
is used by the doctors must be tested
on dog first. In some cases it kills
the dog. If this experiment were not
allowed it-would have to be tested on
a man, and in some cases it would
kill the man.
the same way has to use dogs in the
testing of drugs in order that it may
properly enforce the pure food and
drug act. The chief of the bureau of
chemistry says that he could not carry
out the PROVISIONS of that law without
the use of dogs for experiments. In
the bureaI of animal industry, dogs
are used for experiments with certain
parasitic diseases, which are communi-
Gated to sheep and cattle by dogs. 1t
would have to abandon its experiments
completely if it were forbidden to use
dogs.
The answer of the anti-vivise ection-
lists to all this is simply that no real
good has been accomplished by vivi-
section; and that man has no right to
suffering whats ever. One of these
gentlemen who appe. red before the
committee said that for this reason he
had not eaten any meat for five years,
and that he never permitted the cas-
tration of animals on his farm.

than any of u.s."
almost held my breath so that I
might hear Everett's reply:
"Sandra is very graceful. Naturally
she would dance we'll"
My cheeks burned. and I knew they
were flushed with pleasure. Everett
was so chary with his compliments
that one of them meant more than
twice as much said by another He
never told me he thought me graceful.

emphatically. 81 only wish 1 were

returned gallantly.
1t seemed to me that Everett always
said just the right thing when others
were around-I mean in a complI-
mentary way. Yet so seldom did he
say them about me, that 1 always
blushed and showed my pleasure. So
now Rose laughingly said:
you should say nice things about
Sandra often, Mr.. Graham. See her
blush.'
Everett just glanced at me. but
made no remark, and Rose c'-~tted
gayly thru the remainder of the meal.
