They're going to separate. Yep. hadn't you heard about it? She says he fusses over every cent she spends and doesn't expect her to have the least bit of fun but just sit in that stuffy old apartment with him every evening after she's worked like a slave all day doing her own work and if she'd known she had to work like that she'd never have married, and while she's going to leave him she is not going to give him divorce for that would please him altogether too much, and she'll make him go on supporting her, even if they haven't any children for that's the very least a man can do after he's wrecked a girls life and spoiled all her illusions. for you can't mend broken dreams and if you get a good lawyer you can always get separate maintenance
 It never occurs to her that she hasn't any monopoly on the broken dreams" Her life will never be the same again-but neither will his. If a shattered ideal calls for separate maintenance, he has exactly as good a right to expect her to maintain him as she has to expect him to maintain her.
 The "sanctity of a woman's feel ings' is one of the most treasured traditions in this country. But how about the sancity of a mans feelings If woman is his equal when it comes to sharing married property. why shouldn't she be equally re- they want to part, let 'em part Blu; why should he go on paying War Tax while she collects dividends on her tears?

Wife of American
Commits Suicide

Chihuahua, Mexico.-Soc zorro
Molina de Weiss. beautiful 81
year-old bride of Robert Weiss. an
American, of San Bernardino, CAL,
committed suicide in the Hotel Pal
acio here following a trivial quarrel
with her husband. Weiss, who is
connected with an American oil
company at Tampico, won Senorita
Molina after whirlwind courtship
and she eloped with him in defiance
of her parents wishes. They were
spending their honeymoon in Chi
huahua. When Weiss informed his
bride that he was going to a down
town cafe she became despondent
and upon his return to the hotel she
was dead.
An image Of Christ was clasped
in her hands, an empty bottle Of
poison by her side and three letters
she had written were on a table
near by. One, addressed to the po-
lice, exonorated her husband Of all
blame. Another, to her mother,
begged forgiveness for eloping. A
third, to Weiss, bade him farewell.
Weiss was arrested but released
later when he explained the circum-
stances OF the tragedy. The couple
married February ". last.

Warm Air Furnace
Is Held Hygienic
Expense of Installation and
Operation Said To Be
Most inexpensive

Fresh warm air, supplied by a
good warm air heating furnace,
forms the single feature from a hy-
gienic standpoint which places the
warm air furnace in a position to be
superior to that Of any forr, Of sys.
tenn for warming dwelling and
buildings.
The expense Of installation, op-
Grafton and subsequent care OF the
warm air furnace system has proved
less than any other system.
The first important consideration
in warm air furnace heating is the
space TO be warmed. This must be
accurately determined by rule that
will consider the actual cubic feet,
and wall and the glass exposures,
to be followed by the consideration
OF rules that will determine the size
OF the furnace required, the size OF
the warm air piping and riscrs, the
registers, the air supply, the smoke
pipe and the chimney.
Where the warm air furnace fails
to properly heat a home Or dwell
ing, one Of these items has been
overlooked and must be rem sdied.
Warm air furnaces are distributed
through the Omaha territory by the
Holland Furnace company, whose
district manager is Edwin Bryan.

U. S. Women Spend Big
Sums on Paris Gowns

Washington, ID. C.-American
women of fashion, leaders of the
world as lavish spenders for personal
adornment, have surpassed their pre-
war record as heavy buyers OF Paris
gowns and millinery.
Their purchases at French shops
reached the unprecedented total OF
sl0,26l 900 last year. This figure
represents money spent for gowns
and millinery, imported to the United
States from France.
Consul Thaekafa reported to the
Commerce department that the
amount spent in 1920 exceeded by
more than $6.000.000 the figure
shown for the preceding year.
Milady's demand for diamonds also
caused big jump in the imports OF
"sparklers" from France. Diamonds
imported from France amounted to
81, 4,oo2, 900. as compared with S2,l4o,-
600 the preceding year.
Reports for the first month of this
wear reveal that a continued heavy
demand is in evidence for the output
