QUIPS AND QUIDDIES

tered the abode Of her newly married
daughter and found the young wife

daughter.

An Indebendent Equbt

n FAR happier political fate than they
~ ever could have hoped, had the
World War ended differently, has
come to the people of Egypt Under the
agreement reached between their peace mis-
sion and the British authorities, they are
Vouchsafed substantial self-government, to-
gether with valuable economic advantages.
Britain retains the privilege of garrisoning
the Suez' canal zone and reserves priority
IN certain treaty and military contingencies.
But Egypt's independence is to be recognized
and also her right to enter into diplomatic
relations OF her own with other Governments
During the war a large element of the
Nile-land natives influenced by subtle propa-
ganda, sided with Turkey and her Prussian
bosses. There were far-reac ching conspiracies
to drive Great Britain from the Near East
and to make Turco-German power in that
region supreme. These intrigues and adven-
lures came ultimately to naught, though at
times they grew highly ominous and were
continually disturbing until the last stage
of the war. If they had succeeded, however,
what now would be Egypts lot?
No doubt she would have been delivered
slave-like to Turkey as reward for the
latter's help to Germany. Her virtual own
ers, however, would have been the Hohen-
zollerns whose eyes long had coveted the
rich Nile valley. She would have had no
more freedom, no more identity as a nation
than she herself allowed subject peoples in
the ancient days of the Pharaohs More
than that, her economic welfare and devel-
opment probably would have been retarded.
or made altogether matter of selfish for
eign exploitation.
It is in keeping with the historic Anglo
Saxon attitude toward the weaker races that
Egypt's independence, as far as substantial
freedom is concerned, should now be recog-
nized and that she should be aided along
the path of progress. -.

THE TOUCH OF NATURE
BY DOROTHY DIX
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer
copyright, 1920, by Wheeler Syndicate, Inc)

Now I am no tightwad, neither
are any of my friends. We like to
spend money in giving girls pleas
ure, but we don't like to fe 4so th a.
we like to spend more than we can
afford. for we all want to get on IN
the world, and we are perfectly
aware that to rise an inch apoNo
where we are, we must save money.
AS a matter of simple fact, we can
not even hope to marry and set up
home for any woman if we waste
all that we make as we go along
feeding grating young women, on
chocolate creams and joyriding themS
around in gasoline chariots.
Hence our gratitude to the busl-
ness girls who are willing to go
about with us and enjoy simple pleas.
ures, and not make the cost or
feminine society prohibitive as the
stay-at-home girls so often do.
81 suppose the reason that the
business girl is so much more merci-
full on our pocketbook than the stay
at-home girl is, is because she WORKS
for her money just as we do, ana
much sweat and thought and anxiety
goes into the making of every dol
lar, while the domestic girl is under
the impression that gresnbacks grow
on trees, and all that a man has to
do is to pull them off.
tits the touch of nature that
makes the sexes kin. You remember
Dickens says in one of his novels
that no man who reads ever looks
at the back Of book with the same
expression as does the man who CALI
not read.
"It's the same way about money.
Nobody who has ever worked for
dollar ever feels the same way about
it as do those who have never earned
one but have always had what money
they needed given them. You have
to work for money to know that it
means travail of body and mind, and
opportunity, and freedom, and self
control, and the ability to take pun
ishment, and million other things
that the poor brainless idiot who
throws 1t away never sees In 1t.
And that makes me wonder II the
new generation of women who nearly
all are learning some way Of max
ing money, won't make a hundred
times better wives than the old-fAsh-
toned women who never had u cent
except what they cajoled out of their
husbands. and who carried their
grating to the petty larceny point
where they went through their lords
pockets as they slumbered.
1.-THE woman who has made money
won't be extravaganza. She has a
wholesome respect for a bank &C
count. And she will be reasonable
and see why man must save in the
present in order to be able to spend
in the future.
perhaps just understanding about
money, speaking the same financial
language, is going to do more than
we even dreamed of, to make hus-
sands and wives understand each
other-and that is the main thing in
making a happy home"

@"HE reason that I like the
business girl better than
the Stay-at-home girl, is
because the business girl
is seldom a CRATER and the stay-at-
home girl nearly always is" said a
young man in discussing the ever
interesting girl proposition.
1.-THE girl who has never done any
she has perfect right to dip her
hand as deeply into every mascu-
line pocket book as she can. To her,
man simply exists to be exploited by
woman, and a beau Is poor simp
mercifully ordained by an All Wise
Providence to supply her with taxis,
and flowers and tneater tickets and
little dinners and suppers.
when you take that type Of girl
out, you are bankrupt for the next
month, and press your ow2 trousers
and dine at lunch counter. She

Johnnie could in a month. She al
ways wants to go to the most eX-
pensive places to eat, and invariably
orders the things that are out of sea-
son and whose prices make you Won
henston that you are millionaire in
disguise.
ASK her to go to the theater with
you and she says she is so anxious to
see some play whose ClCk0lS are III
the hands of spectators, and that
cost you fortune to. buy. And she
naively suggests that If you are go
ing to send some flowers that or
chids are her favorites, and you have
to haul her back and forth in a taxi,
for she gets paralysis II her lower
limbs and can't walk a step when
ever there's a chance to hold a man
up for ride.
"Oh, the stay-at-home girl is no
cheap skate whenever somebody else
! is paying the bill. She goes on the
| principal that this may be her last
opportunity at good thing and she
had better get the most out of it
while the getting is good. And I'll
say she's wise, for not many OF us
are foolish enough to give even the
prettiest hold-up artist a second shot
at us
ION the other hand, the girl who
earns her own bread and butter does
not regard men as her foredestined
prey. She looks upon them as BROTH
ers and comrades, and instead of
wasting their money, she tries to
help them save it. Invite a business

Artificial MILK on Board Ship.

The milk problem on the hospital ships of the United States navy is solved in a different and highly ingeni- ous fashion. On board the Mercury and Comfort there Is now a machine which manufactures milk in any de- sired quantity. although the ship may have been at sea for weeks. The "me- chanical COW" needs to be fed with combina tion of unsalted butter and skinned milk powder. and 1t will give milk with any degree of butter fat which Is required. It also produces cream that will whip and the fluid which it yields tastes like the best quality of dairy milk and cream that can be procured ashore.
