Dorothy DIX Talks
BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer

How To Manage a Husband-f.
when a woman asks for advice
about how to manage a husband she
does not desire to be given q reliable
wife in a thousand would have her
husband obey her, If she could. for by
no one Is the hen-pecked man more
despised than by the domestic tyrant
who pecks him.
No. By managing a husband
woman merely means getting along
with him without friction, getting him
into his evening clothes and out to a
party once a week without scene.
and generally getting what is coming
to a wife without having to use
sandbag, or a jimmy to obtain 1t.
And, more especially. she means
working some sort of a conjure on
him so that he will always see her
surrounded by the romantic halo OF
lady-love, instead of in the prosaic
attitude of a useful household con-
venience.
Therefore the study of how to man
age a husband is not only a proper
one for wives, but one that shall be
accounted unto them for merit. as
Mr.. Kipling would say. Especially
by husbands. for undoubtedly 1t Is
much more soothing to have our fur
rubbed the right way than the wrong.
and pleasanter to be beguiled along
the pathway we would go than 1t is to
be prodded along it.
The great original tip on this i'm
portant subject is that which the first
woman whispered into the ear of her
eldest daughter. She said: Feed
the brute" And Lillith. or Eve, or
whatever her name was. shook her
coarse red hair out of her little eyes
and smiling wisely passed over the
marrow bones, and the liver, and the
tenderloin of the beast she had just
slain to her liege lord. and he grunted
contentedly as he gnawed them. and
stood his club up against the cave
wall, and thus was domestic diplomacy
born into the world.
Aeons of time have elapsed since
then. but II has not changed the mas
culine stomach, nor its relation to
masculine psychology, nor made less
potent the ameliorating effects of q
good meal on mans disposition.
when God made a mans tummy twice
as big as his head. or his heart He
Delivered him over into his wife's
hands, and IL she has not enough
gumption to work her cinch for all IL
is worth 1t Is her own stupidity.
The wise woman. however. never
forgets that beauty may fade. and wit
pail, but that a good dinner Is always
a good dinner and draws man as
irresistibly as a magnet draws a
needle. No superlative cook ever fig
ures in the courts in the ranks of the
deserted wives. No man who can
count on finding on his own table just
the particular tid-bit that he most
fancies, prepared just as likes 1t. be-
comes nd-the-town-rounder nor
are all the ten commandments so
potent In keeping a husband nailed to
his own fireside OF an evening as that
gorged feeling. that makes one too
heavy and ga tisfied to move in search
of adventure.
Observe. ladies. and you will see
that all the Don Juans have. like Cas-
sius. lean and hungry look The fat
men never figure as Lotharios. and
affinities, and soul mates. Then
realize that a wife's best aid in keep
ing her husband Is her gas range. and
act upon the knowledge.

HOW CITIES ARE BUILT.

Under the caption "a Live City,"
the oregon Journal devotes an edi-
torial article to the methods that have
resulted in the upbuilding of Spokane.
1t is here reproduced in the hope that
it may afford some valuable sugges-
ton to Topeka and her Chamber Of
Commerce.
Street signs in Spokane are so
placed that they can be seen without
a telescope or without long and pa
tient search.
The big railroad trains run on
tracks elevated above the street Up
there they call it9"grade separation
The arrangement costs millions, but
what is money in the balances against
congested traffic and saved lives.
Spokane has six trunk railroads and
a dozen branch lines. Under the name
of the Spokane & International, the
Canadian Pacific enter the city from
the north. During a single day IFS
trains enter or leave the city. By its
network of lines Spokane is connected
with SAG cities and towns in adjacent
territory
Forty years ago Spokane was a near
Wild. Hail a dozen log cabins. a
couple >of frontier stores and a ferry
were the only evidences of civilization.
1t has fourteen banks, and on Septem-
Der IL last had deposits of $53,220,-
725. and in 1918 a clearing house total
of $421, 55S,970.
The change marks the TRANSFORMED
ton from a frontier trading post to q
modern, finely appointed, beautifully
architectural and busy city of 155, 900
people.
It is a city worth knowing about
It is city that is more than the stone
and bricks and mortar and the people.
1t has a spirit. an enthusiasm, an OPP

II. C. L. DUE FOR A FALL.

American Goods and Foreign Mar
kets.' the publication OF the Guaranty
Trust company of New York devoted
to foreign trade. says that 1.-The pros
poets at the beginning of the new year
in this country are all for sustained
Industrial activity. and for continued
demands for capital on a large scale.
The new records of turnover made last
year and the shortage of both con-
sumption and capital goods which
still obtains seem clearly to indicate
it says, that the present condition of
large volumes of domestic and foreign
untitled orders will hold over for some
time. Continuing. the bulletin says:
Foreign trade statistics show that in
all proba bility the value of the total
exports for the year 1919 reached
eight billion dollars; that of total i'm
ports. four billions. OF the eight bill
lion dollars of exports. those to Europe
accounted for more than five billions,
or nearly two-thirds. of the four bill
lions of imports, less than 500 mil
lions. or one-fifth, came from Europe.
Opinion is general that the year 1920
will see a marked reduction in exports
aud an increase in imports The lat
ter will be influenced chiefly. perhaps.
Dy the degree OIL Improvement IndL Is
effected in European industry; the
former by the same factor, by condi-
lions in the foreign exchange market
by the amount of financial aid extend
ed to our European customers, and,
not least, by the character of the serv-
ice rendered by our exporters, and the
chara cter and prices of their goods.
The time is fast approaching when.
with normal conditions of information
al commercial competition, American
goods must, as of old, sell strictly on
their merits, and not because buyers
must have them at almost any cost;
in other words, when a buyers market
will replace a sellers market.
Herein lies the source of a reduc-
ton in the cost of living. When ex-
ports have been reduced there will be
more for home consumption. An in
creased supply of necessaries results
in a buyers market"
In addition to this, immigration
which has been resumed on a large
scale, will increase the supply of I'M
skilled labor, thereby lowering the
cost of production. When sellers be-
gin to seek buyers, instead Of buyers
seeking sellers, as is now the case, and
workers begin hunting for jobs in
stead of jobs hunting for workers.
prices will begin to fall and not ear
lier. despite the activities of officials
in attempts to hunt down profiteers
and governments efforts to regulate
prices.

Angel to be walking beside this tall,
fair man that she felt somehow as
tho she knew: for she had never
known any men in her secluded life,
from her school days to her teaching
days.
ut isn't as if I don't know YOU"
the young man was saying. I've seen
you every afternoon for a month, and
made up my mind" he stopped.
Mary Angel wanted to know very
much what he had made up his mind
Then he went on: so you live in
Brookline? How strangei Do you
know, my brother-in-law's cousin
lives there. very nice old lady. L
must run down there to visit her.
When are you going?"
I'm going the next holidays-in a
week." Mary Angel said and her
heart was beating very loud and she
was afraid he could hear it.
May I come to see you them" the
young assistant asked.
1t was on the white stone steps of
the school and Mary Angel said.
Yes and felt she was saying a great
deal more when she looked into his
eyes.
He took her hand for a moment and
said, "Good-by until then"
Until then" Mary Angel repeat ed
and her voice was just above a wnis-
per.
Not until she reached the dorni-
tory, did she remember Roberta, Ro-
berta who was her friend. Mary's
face was pitiful; for friendship in
Mary Angeles code was a sacred thing;
not to be marred. She would not go
to Brookiine next week.
Angel, What's the matter?'s Ro-
berta flung open the door and pulled
her across the threshold. But Mary
was too wretched to see how excited
Robert was
Look, do you like t?" Robert held
out n pin frosted with pearls. "Of
course 1 wouldn't accept it unless we
were engaged"
Engaged" breathed Mary Angel,
and her face was suddenly white. so
white that it looked as tho she would
faint.
ITO Joe. of course, you silly! You
never can tell whom you will marcy.
Little Miss Angel found herself sit
ting on Roberts bed, crying as bit
terly as tho her heart would break.

Angel lifted q face radiant IN spite
of tears. threw her arms 1h5u her
neck and cried, ct never was so hap

If you save the present 5O-cent dol
lars you need not worry; they will be
worth double their present value and
possibly four times what they will now
buy You may not see that time for
some years, but see it you will, and
then you'll wish you had economical
and put the savings in banks back in
those days. With all the high cost
there is the chance to cut out a lot
of expenditure and save its equivalent
in dollars which will some day buy
considerably more than they buy now
The day of plenty is the day in which
to save, and that day is now. It's
hard, it's true, to step out of the line
of spenders and over into the line of
economi=ers and savers, but it can be
done is one will just smother the
burning desire to keep up appearances
and BE in the rush. A dollar in bank
is worth two or more IN appearances
and it comes handy on rainy day.
