On the other hand, no married couples

same grand opera or moving picture
| taste.
| Ii is far more important than young
/ people realize for man and woman
| who are about to marry to think
| alike, and to hold the same ideals
| That is, il they want to be happy
| For the attraction of oppostes is 8
| devish continuance of nature for the
| good of the species. 1t takes no account
of the well-being of the individual. The
very qualities of unhkeness that drew
people together before marriage and
which piqued the interest of the other,
after marriage drives them apart. The
girl, for instance, who is like little play
fu, kitten, and with about as much mtelll-
gence as a kitten, seems cute and anus
ing to an intellectual man before mar
riage, but after he is married to her, her
ignorance and lack of brains no longer
charm him. 1t makes him despse her as
a fool and turn to other women Tor COM
panIonship.
And the little butterfly girl is equally
unhappy. She thought it would be Won
derful TO sit forever at the feet of great,
wise man, and worship him as if be were a
god, but she gets tired of that when it Is a
daily program, and wants somebody to
play about with her, to take her to dances
and cabarets and talk the jargon of the
street which is the only language she
understands.
As for men and women taking to them
Il 4 I.t t1x.Nx+
don't quite like, with view to making
them over to suit their fancies, that is the
supreme folly that keeps the divorce
courts working over time.
1t simply can't be done. When man
and woman have reached the marriage
able age, their characters are formed.
They have come into their inheritance of
brains and principles Their tastes are
made, their habits set. and while these
may be slightly altered by circumstances
and associations, they are never materially
changed.
The silly woman is going to be silly TO
the end of the chapter. The girl who
kept her fathers nose to the grindstone Is
going to keep her husband humping TO
pay her bills The girl who could not get
along with her mother is going TO quarrel
with her husband. The man who is lazy
and unenterprising as a boy is going to
make a loafing man. He who is brutal and
rude to his mother and sisters will take
out his boorishness on his wife. The
stingy beau makes tight-wad husband,
and so it goes.
Marriage doesn't change people. 1t Just
develops to the highest degree the best
and the worst in them.
The sensible thing is not to marry your
opposite, but your double, and to pick
out for life partner the kind of person
who is already what you like, instead of
taking something you don't want, and
trying to make it over into what you
fancy

"Oh, yes, dear Queen" said all the

The Old Sun Man was looking over

THE GIRL ON THE JOB.
BY Jessie Roberts.
AMUSEMENT PLUS AND MINUS.
Copyright 1920. py Wheeler ssnil,ate In

Awoman who has had wide experience
in placing girls in many varieties ot work
told me that she always tired to find out
how a girl amused herself when she was
interviewing her in regard to position.
A girls amusements are either helpir
or hindering her work" she said. They
are either giving her the recreation she
needs, making for good health and good
Eervcs, or they are dor & her harm. And
can tell more about girl if / know what
she cares for in the liLe Of amusement
than can by seeirg her at work. II am
asked TO find a yourg woman TO I'LL a
responsible and well-paid position, !
naturally look for ore who Is capable OF
doir the work required. But there viii be
several who have the Necessary training,
ard type Of personality l am looking for.
Now what want 10 know Is, how does
the girl ] am going TO recommend spend
her free time?
you sec, it is my Job to brig the right
girl to the place am trying to NIL Ii
fail, lose SO much prestige, not to speak
Of my time ard el ergy. So try to get as
good q lire as possible on anyoI recon-
mend. A girl may be attractive, clever
and thoroughly competent, but If she Is
mad over Whist she calls good time, and
will be OUT dauciE till all hours Of the
right, if her rotion Of her vacation Is TO go
10 some huge hotel crowded with people
who are ten or hundred times as we'll of
IS she and who set a pace she has no
busi~ ess to follow, then / don't want her.
That sort Of girl may be all right,
and of course she has perfect freedom
TO do as she chooses in her spare time, but
have found out that she is no use
bOthering with when .it comes to really
first-class positions. She comes 10 her
work tired. She is apt rot to come at al,
very often, ard the excuse Is slCkI ess-
quite Justly, for if her amusements are Of
the sort that tire and keep her on edge,
she breaks down every row ard then.
II believe in danci' z and the theatre
for yourg people, and old ores too. But
/ don't believe In overdoll that type of
amusement. A girl should remember that
where her work is exactil g, her amuse-
ments should be restful, Ielaxir G, soothir z.
She should get out IN the country, real
country, for her vacations. She should
indulge In TecuperatIve amusement, and
there are plenty of them, and they are
delightful. Time spent In noisy, hoWlng
amusement park, with a crowd, is8not
necessarily more agreeable than time
spent with corgenial friends at home.
'''The successful girl, the type Of girl
/ look for, is the one who has sense enough
TO choose her amusements so that they
add to. her well-being, and assist, not
hinder, her work Tell me how a girl

BATTERY "A" WILL BE ONLY ONE IN STATE
 AND A PART OF THE
 NEW STATE BRIGADE (Continued from Page II

One battalion of field artillery. One artillery supply company. One artillery headquarters com pany.
 In addition to the above, which are termed division troops, there will be one unit of corps troops, consisting of truck company of the quartermast- CTS crops.
 This is the allotment of national guard troops to Arizona under pro- gram tentatively adopted at confer ence held at San Antonio, Tex, from which Colonel Ingalls, has just re- turned. The plans have been submit ted to the war department for final approval, and are expected to be sent back in the near future.
 The securing of brigade headquar- ters for Arizona is considered high honor, and is made possible only by the agreement to convert cavalry troops into infantry. The matter was laid before the members of the two troops of cavalry organized at Phoe- nix, and when it was shown that the chances of promotion would be consid- erably larger than under the present plan, they expressed willingness to make the change.
 Although the cavalry has been elim- mated under the new plan, there will be plenty of variety in the service of the national guard. Each regiment of infantry is. made up of three bat talions of infantry. Each battalion is composed of three rife companies, one machine gun company, one supply company known as the administration company, one headquarters company and one howitzer company.
 The San Antonio conference was called by the militia affairs bureau of the war department for the purpose of considering the reorganization of the national guard in the states com prising what is now known as the "eight army corps area.' These states are Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Col orado and Oklahoma.
 Present at the conference were Ma jor General Dickerman, Major Page, representing the general staff, the ad- jutants general of Arizona, Colorado and Oklahoma, General Cope of Tex as, and General Spangler of Colorado, and Colonel Johnson, in charge of mill itary affairs for the eighth area.
 As result of carefully worked out plan, there will be two divisions for each of the nine army corps areas. Texas has been allotted one of these divisions, and the other will be made up from regiments of the four states of New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Oklahoma. This division may become known as the Naco division, the four letters of the nickname being the ini- tial letters of the four states named.
 Considerable enthusiasm has been aroused in national guard circleSover the new arrangement, which will mean much more for this state than the plan which was first tried.

course of the business he follows oc- casionally runs across an incident hu morous enough to tighten the dull care that is a part of the undertaking business. Here is an instance in which a chivalrous Irish foreman broke the sad news to the newly made widow of one of his crew:
 Foreman-"It's sad news Oi have fur yez, Mrs. O'Donovan. Y'r hus- bands new watch is broken. It was foine watch, an it's smashed all to to paces."

 A minister asked little girl if she attended Sunday school regularly. She said that she did. Then he asked if she knew the Bible. She said she did. Then he wanted to know if she could tell him something that was in it. She answered that she could tell him everything that was in it.
 Please tell me, then," said the min ister.

Charlie Lehr had a strange dream the other night, which upsets theory lnog held here. He dreamed he was at Sunset mountain, and there met a scientist who had been making an ex- haustive study of that big ash and lava heap. According to this scientist the general belief that Sunset mountain is of volcanic origin is all wrong. The mountain is in reality the remains of prehistoric ant-hill.
