Dorothy Dix Talks
BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
A Womans Money!.

What is a woman to do who has
inherited nice little fortune? Shall
she turn it all over to her husband,
or keep it herself?
1 say that she should keep it her
self. If her husband is the right sort
of man, he will be glad to know that
she is protected against the hardships
of poverty and want, no matter what
befalls him, and if he is the wrong
sort of man, she will need her money
more than ever.
for that type of husband never
treats the wife who is financially in
dependent, as meanly as he does the
one who is dependent upon him.
1 believe that the married woman
who has money should keep her fl
nancial affairs in her own hands, and
separate from her husbands, for
many reasons. First, because it makes
the family doubly safe. All of the
eggs are not in one basket. If the
husband is a good business man, he
will not need the wifes little roll, and
if he is a poor business man, the
wife's income helpS out, and keeps
the wolf from the door, and sends the
children to school.
Until within comparatively short
time ago, a woman's property auto
matically passed to her husband on
her wedding day. Many women still
put everything they have unreservedly
into the hands of the men they marry.
and merely sign on the dotted line
whatever paper the husband brings to
them. The result is that all of us
know dozens of women, who were
reared in the lap of luxury and in
herited fortunes, who haYe been
brought to direct poverty by their
husbands
Most of these men did not inten-
tional1y rob their wives. They were
just bad managers, or reckless specu-
lators, and they took risks with the
money they had not earned, that they
would not have taken with money for
which they had toiled and sweat.
Come easy, go easy, is the eternal law
of the dollar. You rarely see either
men or women wasting the pennies
that represent their own hours of toll
and sacrifice. It's Inherited money,
or married money, they throw at the
birds.
Some of the most lovable men in
the world, the kindest, the best, the
tnrderest, the most ideal husbands in
all the higher matters, are utterly ln-
capable Of taking care of money. Th1
very qualities that make them so
adorable, unfit them for practical mat
tiers. Their softness of heart that can
never say mo-" their CHEEKY optimism
that refuses to look on the dark side
of any proposition; their hope that
| is confident everything will turn out
| all right, Cnelf Visions anu theiI
dreams, all make them the predestined
prey of every sharper, and schemer
and vendor of gold bricks that comes
along.
| Such a man is always on the verge
| of making billions, and he has nc
hesitation in taking his wife's last cent
| to invest in some mine in Peru, OIL
| invention for making gold out of sea
sand; and he is surprised and broken
| hearted when the scheme goes to POI
and everything is swept away. But the
money is gone. and there is as little
profit in crying over split dollars a.
there is in crying over split milk.

Another popular fallacy has been
exploded. 1t long has been accepted
as a traIism that water will not flow
urhilI. Now comes Professor Smith
of the geological survey and, accord
ing to the New York herald, he proves
that the Mississippi iI.er runs up hiu,
The source of the Mississippi river is
nineteen degrees moth of its mouth.
The distance from the center of the
earth to the surface is of course a
measure of the height of any spot.
The radius at the equator is thirte en-
miles longer than that at the poles.
The spot where the Mississippi river
enters the Gulf of Mexico is four
miles farther from the center of the
earth than is the source OF that river.
In other words, in it's course to the sea
the river ascends a distance of four
miles,

American public would be only too
delighted to review, they point out.
Furthermore, the first French film to
reach US, "JAccuse," is frankly a
propaganda picture, depicting some of
the worst phases of the late war. The
soft pedal is placed on German bru-
tally, it is true. There are no seduc-
tons of nuns or mutilations of infants
in the picture, but it is a plea for
sympathy for the French nation,
which is struggling so bravely to re-
cover from the desolation of ste war.
But propaganda or not, the cham
pions of the new foreign films declare
that they are welcome relief from
the average American movie which is
largely devoid of artistic merit. While
Gypsy Love-" the latest Pola' Negri
film, does not live up to the high
standard set by the first foreign pic
lures, the majority is said by those
who have seen them to be exception
ally good. In many respects, it cannot
be denied, the European directors are
ahead of our directors over here. For
instance, nothing has yet been pro-
duced in this country to compare with
the artistic sets designed by a noted
European modernist for The Cabinet
Of Doctor Caligari." 1t could easily be
done in Hollywood. We have plenty
of artists in this country who could
achieve equally good results. But the
fact remains that it has not been done.
The moving picture people them
selves are willing to admit this. 1t is
not the artistic merit of the new for
eign films to which they object nor
,of which they are jealous. They have
been eagerly viewed by actor and di-
rector folk, who are always open to
suggestions for improving their own
work. 1t is the cost of the pictures
which they resent-a cost with which
the American industry cannot begin to
compete. In this they see a real dan
ger which threatens the livelihood of
over $4,000 American bread-winners,
and which eventually may turn this
nation from the worlds greatest pro-
Queer of films, into its greatest film
buyer.

The sum Of $500, 10000 carried by
the naval appropriation bill as amend
ed by the senate does not accord with
the promise of economy that has been
made to the country. Those were wise
words which Senator Lenroot uttered
in the course of debate on the bill
when he declared that if this congress
does not reduce expenses the people
will find one that will. The sum car
ried by the bill is 100000 in ex-
cess of what it was when 1t came over
from the house. Nobody believes, not
even the senators themselves, that
there exists a necessity for the expen-
diture of so much money on the navy
at this time. No trouble for this ma
ton is in sight anywhere in the world
and none is likely for years to come.
The world has had its fill OF war. The
land fighting that is in progress in
various quarters is nothing more than
a series of skirnlishes when compared
with a real war.

TAXING INTANGIBLEs.

Connecticut. like every other state
that attempts to tax intangibles, ap-
pears to be having trouble with its
revenue laws. The Hartford Courant
in it's editorial columns says:
s Anybody who consults his die
tionary will find that intangible
means cannot be touched. This is
simple.
I The proposal to tax intangibles is
demonstrated as impossible. by the
Very definition of the word. You
cannot take what you cannot touch.
The attempts to tax intangibles have
all proved failures. One reason is the
difficulty and a second and more i'm
portant reason is that it is wrong, if
double taxation is wrong, and that is
a simple proposition which few will
think of questioning.
John Smiths note is intangible.
If he has property by means of which
to pay the note it is valuable. but not
because 1t is his note but because he
has something with which to pay. If
he has that something then that is
taxed and to tax the thing that makes
the note valuable and then tax the
note is double taxation, plain and OBJ
vious
If mere notes were as such valu-
able, any almshouse could produce
billions OF property Any pauper
is paid a dime for signing. Two rich
men can exchange notes for $4,000
each and neither will be- a dollar
richer for this, tho apparently each
has added that sum to his wealth
Burning a house destroys it, but burn
ing the note secured by a mortgage
on the house is easily met by writing
a new note.
The state had a tax on intangibIes
that was repudiated right and left
When it lowered the tax a good many
holders of such securities registered
them, but a vast amount did moi
register and escaped taxation. Some
are caught when people die, but otter
this possibility is avoided by judiciou:
Preparation.
4Probably no more vicious form OF
double taxation can be found in the
world than is in practice in Kansas

tsated as follows; A land owner Dor

Q. What is the meteoritic crater7-G. A.
b.
A. In Arizona, not far from winslow,
there is great hole in the earth, hundreds
of feet deep and having almost perpen-
dicular sides. which is known by this name
because scientists believe it was made by
a meteorite striking the earth and burying
itself there. This hypothesis is supported
by the fact that much meteoritie material
is found scattered about the vicinity 1t is
quite rich in platinum, and company
has been formed to drill at the bottom of
the hole for the meteorite itself in order
to obtain platinum.
Q. Is~ft true that the famous French
novelist, Zola, cured himself of obesity by
not drinking water?
A. vizetelly, the biographer of lola,
records that lola was very fat and that he
reduced himself to positive emaciation by
drinking no liquid with his meals, eating
very little bread, and drinking as little as
possible at any time.

And valued truth above a token;
Better to lose with conscience clean
Than win by methods false and mean
1 want him to observe the rules,
Be fair in desperate circumstances,
To know that cunni2gs used by fools
Who fear to take The harder chances,
That with the victory Of deceit
The victor quits the field cheat.
1 want him to play hard to win,
But not make victory his master;
Whatever game he enters in,
Tho he meet triumph or disaster,
/ want him coming home a man,
As clean as when the game began
Oh. boy Of mine, let craftsmanship
Never for any gain desert you:
II on yourself you keep your grip
There is no fixture that can hurt YOU
You shall have more than prizes mean,
II you have kept your record clean
