Dorothy Dix Talks
BY DOROTHY DIX
'orId's Highest Paid Woman Writ,
Which Is Worth More, a Wife's OF
n Husbands LOye?-l

Husbands LOve?-1.
The other day a newspaper con-
tanned accounts of two suits that had
been brought for alienation of the
affections.
In one. a wife sued another woman
for stealing her husbands love away
from her. and the jury awarded the
plaintiff $4,000 damages.
In the other case a husband sued a
man for robbing him of his wife's
heart, and the jury assessed the hus-
bands damages at $4,000.
From this it would appear that
what is sentimental sauce for the
goose is not rich enough sauce for the
gander; that a wife's love for her
husband is four times as valuable as
his love for her. and that when he
loses her affection he mas sustained
four times as great a misfortune as
a wife does when she loses her hus-
bands love.
The jury's appraisement of the rela-
tive value of masculine and feminine
love gives US cause for thought. Yet
when We consider the difference be-
tween the quantity of woman's love
and mans love, we can but agree that
it was nothing more than just that
the penalty for the theft of one was
rated as mere petty larceny. while the
other constituted high, robbery and
misdemeanor and was punished as
such.
Reflect upon the manner in which
man loves, and the way in which wo-
man loves Mans love is of his life
a thing apart, it's womans whole ex-
istence Men have died, and worms
have eaten them. but not for love-
Thus declare the poets and nobody
has ever disproved the assertion. A
man gives to his wife the fragment
of his heart that is not set upon him
self; the fraction of his interest that
is, not devoted to his work in his ca
reer; the portion of his time that
is not taken up by business or golf
or his other pursuits.
Mans affection is bit of chiffon

for the most part. AS general thing.
a husbands love for his wife depends
on her age. her looks, her health, her
high spirits. If he is devoted to her,

consensus of public opinion that he
should be given the Croix de Guerre
of matrimony.
+ In view of the evanescent quality
of masculine affection it is easy to see
why the wives who sue sirens for
vamping their husbands never get big
damages. Juries do not hold that
they are entitled to them. OF consider
that they have lost anything very val

Herbert Hoover has declared that he
is not a Republican OF the Penrose
type, nor a Democrat OF the Bryan
type. Penrose says Hoover is not a
Republican of any type. But in com
pairing himself with Bryan Mr.. Hoover
should not forget that in 1895 Mr..
Bryan received the approving votes, of
6.500,000 of his fellow countrymen,
and nearly equailed this record in
1900. when 6.ss5,0O0 Americans regis
tered their confidence in the silver
tongued orator of the Platte. That
this confidence was not lost eight
years later was demonstrated when
Mr.. Bryan received the votes of 6,4O9.-
600 Democrats. He was also respon-
sible for the present chief executive
whom Mr.. Hoover appears to approve.
No Democrat can afford to throw
stones at Bryan.

The new Chicago season marks the
first time in American musical history
that an American business manage

votes all his time to the artistic
phases of opera production. While

The Farm and Farmer

The women in our farm homes
whose husbands were fortunate enough
to have attended the federation con
vention at Indianapolis, should quiz
said husbands about the address deliv-
cred by Mrs. Charles w. Sewell,
farm wife of Benton county. Get him
to tell you all about it. See how much
he remembers of 1t. Having learned
this you may then discover how much
of her advice he intends to act upon,
affecting your comfort and the help
full home conveniences you and the
daughters of the household have been
wishing for.
Mrs. Sewells address was a gem.
But this was mans convention and
very few women were present to en-
joy it, more's the pity.
Wayne county was we'll represented
at the convention. Many farmers who
were not delegates or alternates took
a couple of days off to witness the
proceedings, to meet the state leaders
in the federation movement and TO en-
joy the several able addresses deliver
ed. A few of them were present at
every meeting.
If the Indiana federation convention
may be accepted as the general type
of farm conventions, the farmers are
going to find some solution of their

KIWANIANS TO STUDY
CITY HOME RULE PLAN

A big program faces the Kiwanis
club at its meeting Thursday noon.
According to Howard Hunt, chairman
of the program committee, regular
time. at the regular place, for the
regular fellows, will be enjoyed.
A board of directors meeting will
be held at 11:55 a. m. (army time).
At this meeting a discussion of the
proposed chamber of commerce will
be held. which probably will result
in endorsement of the plan. Plans for
investigating the home rule plan for
cities will form another matter to be
decided by the club. Action on this
probably will not be taken until a
later meeting.
Reports from captains and lieuten-
ants of the alley cleanup campaign
now in progress under auspices of the
club will be made. According to ad-
vance rumors these are expected to
be very enlightening.
Ladies' Night
Ladies' night, which was planned
for next Tuesday, has been postponed
in order that the club might attend
the Earlham Day Students play. A
