The Habsburg' $ Last Fling

Rigorous issues these are for Hungary and

DOROTHY DIX'S TALkS-THE DANGEROUS AGE


into blind panic over being an old maid.
She suddenly realizes that all of her girl
friends married, and settled. So are most
of the men with whom she started out to
play with as girl. 1t is also forcibly borne
in upon her that new generation Of mere
children is monopolizing the ballroom floor,
and that they look upon her as an aged party
who should be content to retire to the side
lines, and watch the game instead of taking
a part in it.
Then it is that woman loses her head,
and marries any man who asks her. Then
it is she marches to the altar with the poor
widower with seven small children, or the old
sutton whom she has refused hundred times
before, but whom she grabs at last in her
desperation.
The most dangerous age of all to women,
however, comes about IS. 1t is at this age
that she realizes that for her the last call
had come for the dining car, and that If she
is ever to t; tie again the bread and wine Of
romance, she must do it quickly. It's now
or never for her.
She wants to be told once more that she
is beautiful. She wants to feel again that
she has the power to thrill man. She wants
to hear some good, hot sizzling love talk.
She wants one more draft OF youth, and all
that went with youth, and to get it she will
risk not only her immortal SOUL but her bread

sine.
If there were any amulets that would pro-
tect woman of As against the dangers of
her time of life, heaven knows she would be
strung with them from head to foot. y
The dangerous age begins for man about
so, and the quieter and more domestic man
he has been, the greater his peril. If you
will notice the accounts of the men who fall
into the clutches of adyenturesses, or the men
who are the heroes of unsavory scandals, or
the men who run off with chorus girls, you
will see that they are nearly all between so
and go years old.
Up to that time, the average man is so busy
making his money or climbing up in his pro-
fession that women scarcely count in his life.
Having achieved his goal he begins to think
Of amusing himself, and then the sirens get
him. He knows nothing of the arts and wiles
of the ssterhood, and any girl baby can make
him believe that she loves him for himself
alone even while she is robbing him of the
very shirt upon his back.
When man waits until he is mddle-aged
to take his playtime he finds it costly bust
ness, for the piper always charges an extra
price when the old dance.
Happy the Tibetans who know just the
dangerous age and have charm agaist it.
Alas, with us the years of indiscretion are
many, and we have no magic that prevails
against their dangers.

turesque American who despised a
"mollycoddle," preached the new national
alism," denounced "malefactors OF great
wealth. and brought aptly to use from the
pages Of PILGRIMS PROGRESS that striking
appellation, the muck raker." Theodore
Roosevelt adopted the term race suicide,
and gave it a currency which elsewise it
probably would not have gained; but he did
not produce it.
A professor of sociology at the University
of Wisconsin, DR.. E. A. Ross, originated the
phrase some twenty years ago, being then
much disquieted over the decrease in the size
of American families. But time, which is re-
puted to change most things, seems to have
allayed this savant's alarm and even to have
altered his theory. when 1 coined those
grossly misused words race suicide, he now

sor Ross has found is invariably accompanied
by increased mortality. The cow ers does
not, of course, necessarily follow; but it is
true, he maintains, that Americas populat1o
is growing rapidly because of a reduction
of the death rate rather than any increase in
the BIRTH.
We are wont to think of the country s
pioneer age, when families of ten or twelve
were common, as particularly robust and long

knowledge of sanitation then we're and how
pathetic the wastage Of human material. OF

tor1an has written: "Few knew how to say

III is said that in Tibet the soothsayers have
/ fixed upon the exact age that IS the dan
gerous age in human beings life. 1t
is when he she is 13, rs, 81, 40, 81 and
70 years old. So during those years men
and women have a special charm SUSPENDED
about their necks to protect them from the
perils within and without.
Whether the Tibetan rabbit foot works
and safeguards its WearerS against danger
during the critical period of time when both
sexes are as prone to make fools of them
selves as the sparks are to fly upward, we
are not informed. Certain it is, however,
that if there exists anywhere any magic that
can conjure us safely over the years Of in
discretion, we should import it in carload
lots, for we have a great and pressing need
OF 1t.
1t is curious thing that certain times Of
our lives should be more full of emotional
storms than another; that at certain ages
we should be more subject to temptation,
and have less power to resist them than an
other; that at definite periods of our exist

certain psychical ailments belong, to child
<! hood, and old age. IL
With us, the first dangerous age lies be-
| tween Is and % for girls, and Is and rs for
| boys. 1t is hen, when they are too young
and undeveloped to really know their own
minds, or what sort Of men and women they
are going to make, that they are liable to
commit the supreme folly Of making an early
marriage.

enough to make boy and girl realize how

The True Peacemakers
THHERE is world of practical wisdom In
the recent remark of Sir Auckland

Il Is d WOIlu VI pLdSLiCda WlouOul LII
the recent remark of Sir Auckland
Geddes that it is not the mere absence
of war that makes peace. "Peace is a posi-
tive thing. In it's essence it is the joyful &C
ceptation of the reign of law"
History and work-a-day experience bear
witness to this truth. Periods that have been
outwardly among the calmest have beeL in
wardly afire with elements that burst at
length, volcano-like, into Overwhelming strife
and disaster. Persons whose moral energy
rises no higher than a wish simply to be let
alone amid the troubles that besiege others,
and who in the greatest issues are but lacka-
daisical bystanders-not of these was it writ
ten, blessed are the peacemakers." These,
indeed, do more harm along the eventful
journey of life than all the irascibles and cur
udgeons to be met with.
Large hopes are placed in the forthcoming
Washington conference on armament restric-
ton and rightly so. If the leading Powers
will agree to abate their competitive build
ing of machines of destruction, millions of
treasure will be saved for constructive ends,
and grievous burden lifted from taxpayers.
But the mere beating of spears into pruning
h oks will not put end to war. Men will
fight with pruning hooks as fiercely as with
spears if the spirit of greed and aggression
goes unchecked. Some means there must be
of organizing and keeping active the posi-
tive juStice-fOstering, laW-abiding and theI
fore, peace-loving impulse of men.
And this translated into practical terms Of
present day need, means that some such eff
fort as that represented in the League of Ma
tions must be maint ined To hang alOof
from this great work is to be jeOpardizer,
not conserver, OF peace.
