their own nests. And a really
competent girl didn't fail at it.
This system rather fell to pieces,
Of course, as soon as girls learned
how to support themselves, and to
control their own lives. Sensible
girls no longer married because
they wanted "a home Of their own"
or because a young mans "pros-
poets" were such-and-such, but be-
cause they fell in love and desired
the happiness Of a life-comrade.
But even though times have so
radically changed, even though
women are immeasurably freer
than they used to be, there are
still parents who repeat the out
worn formula, and who subtlv and
indirectly, or perhaps even openly,
encourage a girl to make a mer-
cenary choice. They teach her
that if she is once "well-establish-
3D." she can command worldly re-
spect, she can achieve social power,
she can not only "have" every
thing, but "get" anywhere. Some
times the teaching is even cruder
and more corrupting than this.
Sometimes they tell her that so

After the Salisbury Law
What?
BY EARL GOODWIN.
Question Of More Importance and More Interest II
Anyone Realizes.

The Senate would have the Salisbury resolution one Of
the most famous pieces of legislation passed. extended
ninety days beyond the original intent of Congress Follow
ing the demand of the Central Labor Union that it ex
tended several years. interesting to note just what the
Senate did Wednesday night just what lies before the
city on the subject of possible patena legislation affecting
landlords and tenants The Salisbury law drastic one
designed rstaid remedy but continued as almost per-
manen law keeping tenants from being gouged one
hand and permitting some tenants to take and dis
honest advantage of landlords on the other
Here is what Senator Pomerene said in asking that the
Salisbury law be continued:
Mr President recognize the fact that this amendment
subject 20 point of ORDER but hope will not be made
and that Che amendment may go to conference for nves
cation. word the purpose of the amendment is this:
Senators familiar with the socaed Salisbury Joint
resolution have been reliably advised that good many
of the real estate owners particularly the aparmenhouse
owners have gotten together and have already entered into
some sort of agreement whereby the tenants going

Senator from Utah Mr. Kingl tells that eighty eject
ment suits were begun yesterday The day will be
here, all hope when the proclamation of peace will be
issued but these tenants ought to have reasonable time
in which to turn around"
That is ALL.
The fact that.here was NO discussion ought to show
the real estate men and the of property for rent that
the time has long ago for general broad-gauged
policy which to operate unless you want Congress to
take over the entire management of your affairs.
The fact that the Central Labor Union one of the most
influential bodies in the National Capital makes the fat
statement that believes rents being raised so as to
take from renters the $240 wartime Government bonus
ought to show big vsoned real estate that they have

Beatrice Fairfax Writes Problems and Pitfalls the War Workers
Especially for Washington Women

THE other day a mother with
two grown daughters told me
something of the family his
tory. my older daughter seems
contented," she said, cautiously.
She has a tiny house in the sub
urbs, and four children. Her hus-
band makes very little money, but
for some reason they don't seem to
mind They say they have happy
times together, and l suppose they
get used to doing without things.
But my younger daughter" she
went on, with evident satisfaction,
MARRIED WELL. Her husband
is an automobile manufacturer, and
he can give her anything she
wants. She hasn't any children,
but she has every conceivable lux
ury. No; she hasn't ever told me
she is happy; but, of course, she
must be-"
Ever so many young girls, find,
even in this emancipated day, still
cherish the ancient notion of mar
rying we'll" that this mother ex-
pressed. And who can blame them
when their mothers so carefully
inculcate it, when it's part of the
very air they breathe, from their
earliest infancy?
We all know, Of course, what it
means to marry we'll" 1t means
to marry a man with money. And
that is, of course, rather shock
ing, when it's stated plainly.
Why should a mother be proud
Of a daughter merely because she
has happened to attract a rich man,
no matter what that rich man may
be? Why should a mother apollo
gize for a daughter whose husband
is poor, even though through him
the girl has found love and con-
tentment.
We all understand, OF course,
how the idea Of marrying well"
came into vogue. There was a day,
and your grandmother can remem-
Der it, when there was no ques-
ton of a girls supporting herself.
Still, she had to be supported by
somebody And especially if there
were several of her, this had a way
Of exhausting the parental purse.
So parents cultivated foresight.
They formed the habit of looking
about for young men who could
support their daughters. They were
perfectly conscientious about it.
II seemed the best service they
could render their offspring-this
marrying them OF to somebody
who could guarantee comfortable
permanent income.
Feathering Ones Own Nest
So, of course, the daughters
themselves caught the idea at an
early age. They saw that the
praissworthy thing, according to
the parental standard, was to be
able to display a sutton with prop
erty, or with a substantial bust
ness. And II they fell in love, in
the natural, human way, with
somebody who hadn't money, they
felt properly ashamed Of 1t. That

girls who write to me have heard
this sort of teaching.
So should like to convince them
that it's extremely old-fashioned,
entirely out-of-date, the most bar
barous sort of survival.
A girl who falls in love with a
normal, wholesome young man who
loves her and who shares her tastes
to a sufficient extent "marries
WELL" if she becomes his wife.
Truly, l don't know what else
she need consider.
Money Doesn't Count
If a married pair achieve hap
piness, the possession of money
will scarcely affect their content
ment, one way or the other. And
if they are not happy, everybody
knows that money won't make
them so. Money, then, ought to
be the last thing considered,
rather than the first, in choosing
ones life-partner.
Do you really enjoy being with
the young man who wants to
marry you? Can you have a
thoroughly good time together,
even though you should never 60
to a play or a restaurant or a
party? Do you both like outdoor
walks and do you laugh at the
same things, and do you like some,
at least, of the same books?
If you do, you are pretty safe
in marrying, even though he

THE GOOD BISHOP OF
OREGON is STRANDED
The Rev. Dr. w. H. Washinger Medtaes the Futiliy of
Government Ownership While He Borrows Carfare

The Bishop of Oregon, the Rev.
DR.. William II. Washinger, sat in
the Pennsylvania station last night
for an hour and reflected broadly
upon the government operation of
railroad trains. His reflections found
voice in plaintive language, for the
bishop brushed aside unseemly invec-
tive years ago when he was study
ing for the United Brethren ministry
He had come down from Chambers
burg and was on his way to Dayton,
Ohio, to meet with other bishops and
university men to-day to blue pencil
some misleading dogma that had
crept into the university curriculum
during the stress of war and also to
exercise his power of censorship in
going over the sermons of future
bishops of the denomination.
The bishop had purchased Il ticket
from Chambersburg to Dayton, pay
ing therefor at the ministerial rate.
When he arrived here he found that
Mr.. Hines had sent the train on.
Gone were his reservation and fare.
The train upon which he arrived, it
wasslearned, did not connect with the
