HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
By MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
young fellow twenty-one years of age.
am in love with two girls. I have
a girl in Chicago and I correspond
with her very often. I asked her
three or four times If she was ever
going out with other men. but she al
ways said she did not. She is a very
nice girl, and 1 know that she is a
good girl.
I am also going with a girl here
and I like her as well as I do the
girl in Chicago. 1 know that the
girl here does not go out with any
other except me. Both girls seem to
care for me equally.
Can you give me q lift? I love
both girls and know that I can
not marry both of them.
DISTRACTED.
You do not love either of the girls;
if you did, there would not be so
much doubt in your mind. 1t is wrong
for you to ask the girls to give their
time to you exclusively since you
have two girls.

conditions, for meR out of work mean
1essened production and curtailed
purchasing power. which every whole
saler and producer is feeling today.
But no serious feeling of depression
has appeared. Everywhere there
seems to be a spirit of optimism and a
belief that things will be righted at
an early date. Everybody realizes
that there is enough work that should
be done to keep busy every hand now
idle. And when all again are at
work prosperity and good times are
certain to follow.

Woman's MONEY!.

Such a man needs to be taken care
of as if he were a child, and his wife
can only do it by keeping death
grip on her own pocketbook. More
over, the woman who inheritS money,
owes something to the parents who
toiled and saved that their children
and their children's children might
have the advantages that money
gives, and that perhaps they did not
have in their youth. The man who
lays up a fortune. is thinking for the
future He is thinking of his grand
children, and planning to give them
an education and a start in life, and
his daughter is in honor bound to full
has no right to turn the money over
to a stranger to waste, and so risk
her children's inheritance.
OF course, it will be said that now
and then a wife does give her property
to her husband, and he turns a few
thousand dollars into a fortune, True
There are exceptions to every general
rule, but the man who has the money
making instinct would make his for
tune anyhow, and taking it by and
large, the risk is too great. Nine
times out of ten, the woman is better
off to keep her own.
But the woman who inherits money
should play fair with it. She should
keep the principal, but spend the in
come for the benefit of the family
benefit.
If she has enough to be personally
Independent, she Should not expect
her husband to pay all of her bills,
or those of the house. Her money
should be the velvet that enables the
family to live more comfortably, and
indulge in luxuries that they could not
otherwise have. 80 ssta.--a
And the clinehing argument for a
woman's keeping her own money, is
60 - AT-s-
the sun that brings With it so much
self-respect, such an ineffable sense
OF independence, as to have your own
money that you can spend as you
please, and for which you do not have
to give an account to any human be-
ing. No matter how generous and
kind a husband may be. his wife has
a sense of degradation and humilia-
ton every time she has to go to him
for money. The woman who has a
chance to save herself that, and
doesn't do 1t. ought to have her head
operated on for the Stiles.
Also man treats every woman who
has money in her own right, different
ly from the one who hasn't. This in
stinctive kowtowing to money extends
even to wives, and so the woman who
wishes to keep her husband on his
good behavior, does well to keep him
interested in her.
There is no financial problem more
complicated than the domestic one,
but the woman who keeps her money
may be sure of one thing. She is play
ing a. safe game. instead of taking a
flier on ner comfort and happiness.

The long awaited budget system"
seems about to go into operation. 1t
should not have taken so many years
to place on the federal statute books
a law which is approved by the whole
country, regardless of political differ
ences. But perhaps we should be
thankful to get it at all. 1t should
serve to eliminate much extravagant
expenditure and curtail the customary
amount of log rolling on appropria-
ton bills. We lead the world in many
ways but in many others we are ex-
tremely slow.

At last a stream of German gold is

France should be happy. She has had
a difficult time trying to collect COM

full as she expects it to be. Money

The granaries and warehouses of
the world are full to overlooking.
This condition may lead to the con-
cIusion that there has been overpro-
duction but the real trouble seems to
be under consumption. The people
of the world want and need the appar-
ent surplus of food and goods but can
not buy. Commerce Monthly, how
ever, finds that the absorption of this
accumulation has begun, but is being
retarded in the countries which are
best customers because those coun-
tries are unable to dispose of their
own products. This condition is fur

worldwide fall in commodity prices

General Obregon still persists in his
refusal to recognize the government at
Washington. Probably it will be
found that the only way to persuade
him to change his mind will be thru
the use of a gun. The generals coun-

and Stripes. and the debt is long over
due.

The cables carry the information
that twelve American sailors, while on
shore leave in a Chinese port, were
wounded in a clash with japanese
sailors. What the American public
would like to know is what happened
to tI5ose Japanese sailors. No doubt it

HARD BUT HONEST.

We are willing to admit along with the Phoenix Republican that the state of Arizona has been more or less democratic in the past, but regardless of that fact, the real "kid state' in this vast republic still reserves the right to make mistakes and correct them. The old yellow dog' element in both old parties has deteriorated vastly in the past few years and there is grow ing up an element that is demanding results not the personal kind of results which cover aunts, uncles neices and nephews, but results large enough to cover the whole people of the state. Just for instance the southern part of the state used to be so democratic that they couldn't see why fellow up north should be much ex- ercised when the democrats put his wool on the free list; just now, down in the south, the cotton folks think the whole United States should get back of the tariff on cotton. The northern part of the state, regardless of the old time whack at wool, feels that there should be good tariff on cotton. But the same people who want the high tariff on cotton at present cannot realize that back east there is feeling that "why should we put high tariff on long staple cotton to please few people down in Arizona, when there are some hundred and ten million people in the rest of the United States who have to pay for that increased tax?"

L. A. "DOG.IN.THE-MANGER" TACTICS.

San Diego and Los Angeles are having quite a time arguing over the ownership of the power in the Colorado river and it is difficult to deter mine just which is the rightful owner, according to their contentious. From their attitude it would seem that Arizona had little or nething to do with it and it only remained for them to de- eide it's ownership. The one big idea prevails in Arizona that the development of the Colorado river for water and power should be given every possible help by all concerned. It is difficult to understand just why the city of Los Angeles or San Diego have right to interpose objections and demand their "share" unless they think there is some "loot" to be gained by doing the objecting. While we hold no brief for the South ern California Edison company, we believe that whatever they are willing to develop-or any other private concern organized for the purpose will be handled under government supervision and come under the jurisdiction of the state cor poration commission in Arizona or like com mission in other states where they may operate. The people have nothing to fear from privately owned utility, but would have very much to fear if Los Angeles or San Diego or some other sea- port had right to dictate terms to the people of Arizona. As for the people of Arizona, they have been strong for any development of the resources of the state that would benefit the whole people of the state regardless of the section specially benefited. The people of Arizona could hardly agree that development of this vast enterprise would not benefit Arizona and the whole south west. If this development will benefit the whole southwest it will equally benefit Los Angeles and California, but it seems Los Angeles is attempt ing "dog-in-the-manger" sort of proposition, hoping to gain something if they can prevent private corporations from doing this work. A proper division of the water for irrigation pur poses may be necessary-when the water is de- veloped--but there are plenty of laws for that, but how they can lay claim to power developed in Arizona is more than the average individual can understand It may be that Los Angeles has annexed Arizona to their city along with South. ern California but that question will be strongly debated

NOW AND THEN.

It was willy bunch of democrats at the state meeting of the tax commission who are endeavor- ing to have Governor Campbell call an extra ses- sion of the legislature to reduce expenses. It is rather an amusing variety of bait they are using but after the results obtained from the regular session, people are wondering whether or not the governor will bite, though he nibbled and sug- gested that $600,000 might be cut from the ap- propriation for the university and the normal schools.
 The rather difficult part of the proposed pro- gram is that if the extra session is called it will be evidence that the governor has gone back on the action of the last legislature and his own ap- proval of the appropriations made and will fur ther leave rather bad taste in the mouth of the legislators called back to undo their own work. Again, if he is not satisfied with the results of the last legislature, he might farm it out" again with equally bad results.

WILL THE THEORY WORK?

The editor of the Albuquerque Journal is hav- ing one heluva time getting out of the clutches of what he calls the "gang" over in New Mexico, and is asking the people to take up some $20,000 worth of bonds which are held against him by what he claims to be "the financial and political interests" who are endeavoring to put him on the bum for running wide-open paper for the people We are rather interested in the final outcome of the fight he is making from purely personal point of view. The big question is whether the public will stay with fellow when he starts to fight their battles, even when they believe he is doing that very thing, or whether they will get too busy to help him help them. The personal interest in the outcome comes from several instances in our young life when we crawled out on very slender limb with big cuss with saw right close behind, who vocaly and fundamentally indicated he was going to saw it off. With the usual youthful American inde- pendence we vociferated: Saw Ter off, you son. of-a-gun, saw er off if you dare" And by gosh, he would.
 The fact that you had to go home, cut the wood, draw the water and get the bacon and po- tatoes for those depending on you, eventually made feller afraid to take the bumps so freely sawed off on him. While we still lean as strong as possible on the side of old General Public, we are constrained to believe that old c. P. needs a whole lot of education of the muscles which brace up the fellow who leans his way.

State Engineer Maddock has either amended or disapproved the state road law and is building a S42O0O administration building to house his department on land recently purchased by that department under the same law. It is to be hoped by the taxpayers that MT. Maddock does not take it into his head to build million dollar museum for the collection of antiques, or new capitol building of his own, If the new highway magazine published by the highway department does not answer the publicity purpose, why not purchase the Tucson Citizen outright?

QUICK WORK SAVES
GREAT FIRE Loss
TWO DISASTROUS iNcENDlARY
FIRES IN ONE NIGHT IN
CITY OF HENDERSON.
TOBACCO WAREHOUSE BURNED
Occupants Of Burning Dwelling House
Escape Trough Binding Clouds OF
Smoke, Losing Everything.

Henderson.-Two disastrous fires,
thought to be OF incendiary origin, oc-
Cured in the business district of
Henderson. The first alarm was turn
ed in as people were returning home
from church. When the fire boys ar
rived, the blaze had enveloped the
storage house of the Watkins Lumber
and Supply company The heavy Wind
for time endangered adjoining build
ings but quick work saved the fire
from spreading
The second alarm came from the
warehouse Of the American Tobacco
company, which was burned to the
ground. The fire had gained such head
way that it was impossible to save
any of the tobacco or other fixtures
OF. the building. Due to the strong
wind, the blaze spread to the home
of Mr.. J. d. Rose, Jr., a beautiful two
story frame dwelling recently finished.
The smoke and heat from this ware
house blaze prevented the removal Of
any furniture from Mr. Roses home.
the only thing saved being the cloth
ing worn by the occupants as they felt
their way through the cloud Of smoke.
Four box cars on the Seaboard Air
Line siding adjoining the American
Tobacco company's warehouse, were
also destroyed, two being loaded with
building material, one with -four and
the other was carload Of yarn.
