Dorothy Dix Talks
The Tie That Binds.
BIZ DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman WriseR.


Every time we go to a big church
wedding somebody with a melting
tenor voice sings Blessed Be the Tie
That Binds" and we look at the radiant
bride and bridegroom, and swallow
hard at the Jumps in our threats, and
hope to goodness that the knot will
hold this time, and it won't be one
of the one-out-of-twelve snaris that
the divorce courts are called upon to
untangie every year in this country.
And it sends US home wondering
what is this tie that binds a man and
a woman together SO that they are
really one.
Men think that it is made of beauty.
A man believes that he, Will love a
woman. and be faithful to her in
thought and deed, as long as she IS
easy on the eyes. His fancy is shared
by pretty face and lissome fig
ure, and he is convinced that he Will
never weary OF them. he teels that
life can offer him no more enduring
joy than just the contemplation OF
that peaches. and cream complexion,
those golden curls and that straight
front figure.
Very often he married the object
of his admiration only to find that the
tie that binds him to it Is made OF
pack thread. He comes to know that
a man cannot live upon scenery alone,
that a woman may be a living picture
and the dullest and most boring OF
companions, and that the whitest and
softest skin may cover the blacklist
seIfishness, and the hardest heart
No woman who has merely physical
prettiness to recommend her ever
holds man even until her good looks
vanish, and that is a catastrophe that
is bound to happen in a short time, at
best. AS well might you seek to
anchor an ocean liner in a storm with
a gay sillxen thread as to try to bind
man to a woman with just beauty
alone.
Women think that the tie that binds
is made of romantic love. They put
their faith in palpitations and thrills.
If a girl sees a man thru a pink haze
of sentiment that DISCUSSES him so ef-
fectually that he looks like a tin god
TO her: if she has chills and feyers
and hectic flushes at his approach; If
she wonders where mother keeps the
Rough on Rats every time she sus-
poets that he has taken another girl
to the movies. she is convinced, be-
yond the shadow of doubt. that she
a passion for him that Moth
ing can dim. and that the years will
only make stronger.

BUILDING COSTS.


Many persons who contemplate
building homes or business structures
continue to inquire: when will build
ing costs be Iower?''
In an endeavor fully to answer
this question. the George A. Fuller
company, contractors of New York,
has issued a booklet containing the
opinion of it's experts as to the building
situation. Three conditions under
which reduction in building costs can
be brought about are cited-a reduc-
ton in demand, a reduction in wages
and reduction in the price of build
ing materials.
The Fuller company states that in
view of the building shortage in the
country resulting from the slowing
down of all building for non-war pur-
poses during the war, there seems
little hope for a reduction in building
costs due to reduced demand. 1t is
estimated that the country at large is
short about $4,000. 900 worth of
normal building construction, indicat-
ing the building program ito be
eighteen to twenty months behind.
Considering the present attitude of
chance for a reduction in building
costs due. to lower wages, for IS to go
per cent OF the cost of all building
materials is said to represent labor
costs. The rate of labor wages in the
building trades has risen steadily dur
ing the past seven years. and unless
wages go down no substantial reduc-
ton in the price of building can be
seen. Labor is living on a higher
plane, demanding more of the COM
forts and conveniences of living, and,
therefore, without a struggle that
would demoralize economic conditions
labor will continue to command a
higher scale of wages.
Scarcity of labor is another factor
in keeping wages high. Stimulation of
all manufacturing during the war and
after. development of new industries
employing large numbers of men and
practical suspension of immigration
since 1914 have brought about the
shortage.
Since January 1, 1920. the price of
brick has risen in New York from s25
to $3S per thousands lumber from SIS
to $72 per thousand feet board meas
ure; steel from sos to s135 per ton,
and other materials in similar manner.
The Fuller company believes that
the country is so far underbuilt that
prices have become subsidiary to
necessity, and advises its clients that:
IF they need additional building
facilities and the conditions Of their
business justify the expenditure, it
is far wiser to build now and enjoy
the benefit of the improvements
than to wait and lose the use of
this money-making space for sew
eral years and then build at costs
which may be even higher than
those Of the present time"
Authorities of the building industry
agree that high building costs will
continue for some time. However, any
general slowing up.of business, If the
country should suffer such a misfor-
tune, is bound to affect the cost of
materials and labor: but it>is thought
that the decline in building costs will
be small and trail behind other COM
modities because of the great demand
for building space, which must con-
tinue until the shortage due to the war
is relieved.

The unfitness of silver as a monetary
standard has again been demonstrated
by the recent unprecedented move
ments in the price of that metal. says
an article on The Silver Situation" in
the August issue of Commerce
Monthly, published by the National
Bank of Commerce in New York.
Within a year silver quotations have
fIuctuate1 more than 100 per cent in
the London market and 20 per cent
in the New York market. the bank
states. In some countries" the
article continues, the high price OF
silver led to the melting and sale of
boards of silver accumulated during
the war. and even to the melting and
sale of coins still in circulation. Some
countries. in ord n to retain their
small change. were forced TO lessen
the amount of silver in their subsidiary
coinage or 10 substitute coins of base
metal for silver. AS a result of those
developments, the demand for the
metal for coinage purposes slackened,
and today the dependence of the world
on, silver for coins is less widespread
Than it was Probably something
similar to this would have happened
to gold were it not for the fact that the
price of the yellow metal is fixed by
law all over the world. It is unaf-
fected by the law of supply and de-
mand- The value does not vary as a
result of the cessa ton of mining. The
same was true of silver when we had
free coinage at the ratio of 1s to l.

your children to be polite at home,
and let them alone when they are
away from home" To try 10 impose
an unusual code upon children in
emergencies when self-indulgence or
indifference has neglected their proper
training, is a common parental
blunder.
David failed as a father. He loved
Absalom well. but not wisely. He in
dulged a selfish prince whom he
should have disciplined. He failed to
rear the boy in obedience and respect
and affection, and so Absalom broke
his fathers heart, and brought him to
public shame before the nations Had
David been sterner toward Absalom,
and held him up to his highest posi-
bilities. the tragedy of both their lives
might have been avoided
Last night a father, wealthy,
powerful man of affairs. lamented to
me the frivolous state and irrespon-
sible and irreligious state Of mind of
the present younger generation, as a
national calamity. While not sharing
his pesSimism, I tried, as tactfully as
could, to remind him that the boy
problem and the girl problem are es-
sentially the parent problem. In he
