DOROTHY DIX TALKS
BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
A School for In-Laws.-2.

Your own children are used to all
of your little ways and know that your
nagging simply means your over
anxious mother love and interest in
them. Therefore, they can forgive it..
To your in-laws, who are not used to
you and have no affection for you,
your nagging Is simply an intolerable
affliction not to be borne.
Also for your own children, you
make a million excuses for everything
that they do and don't do, but you sit
in stern Judgment on the Shortcomings
of your in-laws and they resent your
unjust criticism accordingly.
Therefore, learn as the first lesson
in the mother-in-law course that your
in-laws are strangers, and treat them
you would show to strangers.
The second lesson that should be
instilled into the mother-in-1aw's mind
is that it is a crime that should be
punishable with death for her to butt
into her in-law's affairs. Every man
and every woman have an inalienable
right to run their own homes in their
own way without any advice from the
mothers on either side.
If mothers could only make up their
minds to the heroic sacrifice of let
ting their sons-in-law eat what they
like, smoke where they please, wor-
ship their own gods and go to their
fromNthern, and if they could only rise
to the heights of permitting their
daughters-in-law to have the kind of
wall paper they fancy. and use their
best china every day and bring their
children up according to books. in
stead of the old7fashioned way it
would do more to bring about the
domestic n ha VII h NJ
else in the world.
Hands off of your chi1dren's affairs
when they are married, should be the
motto painted on every wall OF every
mother-in-law's class room. d
The third thing that should be
taught in the mother-in-law school is
the utter folly of'any woman who has
ever had a home of her own trying
to live peaceab1y in somebody else's
home. For mother to go to live with
| married child is like putting a
charge of dynamite under the hearth
stone. And it generally blows up and
scatters everything to kingdom come
A middle aged woman Is the most
UNACCEPTABLE creature in the world
| She couldn't change If she wanted to
| and she never wants to. By the time
she is SO years old she is certain tina,
her ways of doing things, her opin-
| ions, her views are the only correct
ones on earth, and that it is her SOL
| emn duty to force them on everybody
| else. Therefore, she makes life a
i purgatory for her iR-laws when she
tries to live with them.
This makes the solution of the
mother-in-law question practically a
case of absence OF the body, and If the
school for mothers-in-law can teach
women that II is. better for them tc
| live in a hotel, a boarding house, OF
even the poor house than with their
married children. millions of grateful
people will rise and bless its name.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am almost
seventeen years old. 1 have been going
with boy two years my senior for
almost a year. We have not kept
steady company all the time, but
have not gone with many other boys,
because my parents do not wish me
to go with so many different ones
while i am young. What do you
think? U. S.
Take the advice of your parents.
Very often a girl will go with boys
who are not desirable merely for the
satisfaction of being popular. Your
parents want to avoid this in your
case.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am young
man of twenty and aitho considered
good looking have had no girl friends
since 1 came to town. 1 know several
by sight but do not know a mutual
friend, and since they do not attend
the same church or other social gath
erings that do. am at a loss to know
how to become acquainted with them.
viii you not please suggest a way to
do SO, as am very lonesome?
LONESOME YOUNG MAN
There is no way for you to become
acquainted With the girls whose APP
pearance you Ike except thru mutual
acquaintance. After you have been
here longer you will know more peo-
Qls, naturally. and without a doubt
yo1 will run across mutual acquaint-
ance. Content yourself with that
which you have at present.

somewhat less. If Mr.. Hoover had
stated frankly that the consumer had
been obliged to pay far more for food
but that this was but the reasonable
thing to expect from world war. We
could let it go at that. but to make
the public believe food had been made
cheaper to the consumer at the same
time that the world was being ade-
quately supplied is like drawing a
large check on a small account. The
consumer sacrificed something in this
war-not much, but something.

In this country killing snakes is
considered to be like virtue, its own
reward. but not SO in India where
bounties to the amount of $1,045 were
paid last year. Snake bite caused
the death of 23,s1s persons in the
same period, an increase of nearly 800
over the figures for the previous year.
However, the number of snakes des-
troyed increased from 63,765 to 73.-
96S. There were 2,176 persons killed
by wild animals. Tigers were respons-
ible for 1908 deaths, leopards for 500,
wolves and bears for $50. and ele-
plants and hyenas for SO. OF the 459
deaths caused by "other animals" SO
are assigned to pig and 199 to croco-
diles or alligators. During the year
1916 wild animals were destroyed,
for which rewards amounting to $54.-
161 were paid by the government.
Among the 1916 wild animals des-
troyed. 1926 were tigers. 6,037 Loop
ards, ASA bears. and 2.147 wolves.

Judge Robert S. Lovett points out
what probably is the most serious OBJ
lection to government ownership of
railroads when he says: Every poll
tfcian would be almost compelled to
exert any political influence possessed
by him to provide places for his sup
porters or improvements and facilities
or rate adjustments desired by them
Each congressman would be pressed
by all the ambitious towns in his dis
trict for ornate passenger stations, or
other improvements. as he is now
pressed for postoffices. court houses
and other public buildings; for addi-
tional and unnecessary trains to please
particular communities, and for the
construction of new railroad extern
sions and branches"

was a scampering on the walk. and a
tow-headed youngster appeared. He
thrust out his hand. Here's a note.
Miss Duncan A fellow at the hotel
gave me a quarter for bringin' it up"
Wondering. she took it and went in
side. The note was in Elmer's hand
writing.
Dear Old Chum-Just forgive me
for this 1 came out here because 1
thought you would be waiting for
me. L knew how true blue you used
to be. But 1 simply can't go thru
with it. Someway, you've changed;
and 1 have a sneaking feeling that
you like somebody here. One of the
gossips put me wise in the hotel.
And to tell the truth, I fell in love
with one of the girls at the hospi-
tai; and 1 feel as if ought to marry
her. So, being as it is, I'm going
back tonight. Don't feel hard
against me. 1 didn't realize until 1
got here AS ever, ELMER.
She crumpled the note. and laughed
a bit tearfully. How near to regret
we were! 1 thot and he thot-but
God knew
She stepped to the phone. and when
a deep, pleasant voice answered. she
said: Philip. it is-it is-you. after
all!'
1t seemed to her that she had no
more than turned from the telephone.
altho actually she had fingered there
when she heard the sound of quick.
firm steps. whose meaning almos.
frightened her. The door opened and
she>was lifted bodily, pinioned in arms
SO strong they made her cry a bit
with pain.

Was I dreaming?" Philip said hoarse-

She quieted him in the old i'm

Its not a dream, dear heart, but
