Dorothy Dix Tails
BY DOROTHY DIX
WorlG's highest Paid Woman Writer.
The Right to Jilt-2.

What sort of husband a man is like
ly to make when woman bulldozes
him into marrying her. one shoulders
to contemplate.
For men are not good at acting a
part, nor do they trouble to camou-
flage their feelings towards their
wives. When they are indifferent to
a woman or bored by her, they leave
her under no decisions as to their
no sentimental Tommies who practice
on unloved wives the tenderness of a
passion they simulate.
A great many men do marry women
whom they have ceased to love be-
cause they are afraid of being sued for
have such sense of honor that they
feel obliged to keep the promise they
have made to some girl, or because
they have not the courage to tear
away the clinging hands of the women
who love them, and to stab the hearts
of the women who have trusted them.
These marriages are always mis-
takes. They never bring happiness to
either party because life is not made
up of great moments of heroic self
sacrifice. It is composed of years and
years of commonplace days in which
we want to be happy in congenial COM
partnership with the man or woman
who fired our adult fancy, and whom
we enjoy, not the one whom we have
to endure.
1t takes more heroism than the
ordinary man has got to stand a wife
whom he has outgrown, whom he
married for pity and from a sense of
duty, and of whom he was disenchant-
ed even before the wedding day. And
there is no woman in the world so
dull that she will not find this out
inside of a week, and wish with all of
her heart that he had had the cruel
Kindness to tell her the truth, and
save her from the most mortifyipg
position on earth-that of being an
unwanted and despised wife.
A woman may say that a man
should know his mind before he asks
a woman to marry him, and that when
he has contracted to marry her. he is
just as much bound by that obligation
as he would be to take a house, or a
horse that he has agreed to take. She
may say that she entered into the bar
gain in good faith, and that he must
maintain good faith also.
You can't compare a marriage con-
tract with any other contract because
to know each other until they are en-
gagged. In that close relationship they
get a line on each others peculiari-
ties that they never had before, and
discover flaws and virtues that they
never suspected that each other pos
sessed. So an engagement should be
regarded at most as an option on a
man or womafl's hand and heart
rather than a closed trade.
And, anyway. the love game is al
ways a gamble, and when either a
man or woman loses out they should
b. good enough sports not to howl
over their loss

MAKING 1HE RICH PAY.

Lament over the fact that the rich
continue to invest their money in tax
exempt securities is loud and continu-
GUS in certain quarters. 1t seems per-
tinent to ask who would buy these Sc
curities if not the rich. And if such
securities could not be marketed how
would public improvements be car
ried on?
The situation of which complaint IS
made is due to the effort put forth
by congress to make the rich pay for
the war. The rich are willing to pay
their proportionate share of the taxes
but they will pay no more if they can
find a way to avoid doing so. The
best way to keep them from invest
ing in tax exempt bonds would be to
revise the tax schedules so that they
would find it more profitable to in
vest in business enterprises. Certain
it is they could not be made to pay
taxes on future issues of bonds even if
law were passed for that purpose.
They would demand a higher interest
rate and if it were not forthcoming
the bonds would remain unsold.
So long as the government takes the
big end of the profits in business, the
rich will continue to buy bonds, and
making bonds taxable will hurt no
body except the taxpayers of the :nu-
nicipality which issues them.
Once having obtained a cash sur
plus, no one will let go Of it except in
the belief that he will profit by doing
so. If taxes on bonds eat up the iu-
terest the man having money to in
vest will not buy bonds. If taxes eat
up the profits of business he will not
invest in business.
When taxes become too high people
refrain from building houses or maxi
ing improvements.
One of the greatest needs of the
country is a fair, just and equitable
system OF taxation and one which viii
not permit the lodging or shifting of
the burden.
Investors are willing to take a
! chance but they will not go up against
a certain loss. -

O. What is the basis for the claim that
the government should pay the wage in
crease given to employees of the Bethlehem
Steel CORPORATION? r. B. 3.
A. The Bethlehem Steel Corporation had
a contract with the government during the
war by which the company was not liable
for increased costs of production for which
thev were not responsible. The wage award
referred to was made by a governmental
agency. the National War Labor Board.
The War Department has ruled that 1t
cannot allow this claim legally, and repre-
sentatives of unions, some OF whose mem.
bers are involved, have petitioned President
Harding to ask congress to make an ap-
preparation to meet this obligation.

A. This form of coasting upon sled

pearance of the tramp in America. but his
first statutory recognition was in New

THE SELF-PITIER.

The world isn't anywhere AearIy as
interested in US as we ofttimes inn
agine that it is.
A man really is important only as
ne accomphshes important things. And
Importance is not a quality of bulk.
Humble work is just as important as
that which invites great gaze.
L recently received a very lovely let
ter from young man who worked
day after day in a sugar refining fac
tory. He wrote that for a long time
he felt everything and everybody was
against him. Then he made up his
mind that he would try out a plan.
This was the plan-to tell people
every time they did something that
helped or pleased hfmi In other
words, he acquired the Tell Him"
Habit. And he tells me now that he is
a foe to self-pity instead of a slave
to it.
I congratulate this young man and
can assure him in advance that he will
accumulate usefulness every day that
he Hves--which is a much finer sort
of saving than anything 1 can think
of-because you can keep giving it
away and still be growing richer!
The self-pitfer leaves nothing but a
damp path of gloom behind him.
I have no sympathy with those who
Will mott make any effort to get out
of themselves.
I must admit, however, that there
is much of uneven distribution in this
most imperfect world. And yet there
is 81 wonderful law of averages that
keeps working day and night.
While passing along the street yes
terday I came across a soldier who
had lost his legs in the service of his
country. He was selling pencils. But
he was not begging! Rather he was
GIVING. For he had a smile and a
God bless you" for everyone who
passed him. He was light brighten
ing the busy throng, and a credit to
himself.
Self-reHaace. self-resp ect-but never
self-pity! There are all too many
things to do, and too few to get them
done.

there wouldn't think of discarding it.,
altho its adoption was faced with the
same opposition, objections and argu-
