GIRLS SHOULD NOT FEAR
MARRIAGE, SAYS ACTRESS,
TT THEY MARRY REAL PALS.
Bv EARLE C. REEVES.

Jondon THE remarkable slump
i'm marriages in Great Britain during
the last year, coupled with the pun
lication here of sensational divorce
figures from the United States, mas
caused serious discussions as 10 the
reasons for the so-called failure OF
the modern marriage.
Miss sybil Thorndike--who 1s'
without exception, the most versa
tile actress on the British stage TO-
day-will have none OF II.
She admits that modern conditions
make contemplation of marriage
problem. but she comes TO the front
with "a truly remarkable defense OF
that well-known institution Whlch.
we are told by some, is becoming
miserable failure.
.Iynless she is very much in love,
the modern girl is inclined to ne
afraid of marriage" Miss Thorndike
declares.
Yet marriage. at its best. is the
most happy, exciting and delightful
relationship possible in this world.
Even if there is not violent love on
both sides marriage can still be
livery good thing.
"In the finest type of marriage
|you get a comradeship which is I'M
possible in any other relationship.
DAILY habits. the little discus
Isions and fuses about children, and
ialso the living together, produce
comradeship which you cannot get
|any other way.
There must he freedom in mar
riage, and in the postwar marriage
| there is q freedom that husbands
and wives never had before and
which is all to the good.
"a married woman knows what is
comedy and decent; but. without
ever going beyond the limits OF
comelness and decency, she can, if
she has married pal, enjoy free
dom unknown to her grandmother.
1.-The woman who remains nnmar-
ried misses the great experience of
motherhood.
If the modern girl marries a pal

scared A marriage between equals
is one of the most wonderful things
in life.

refugees in Europe for so long q
time that we can cope intelligently
with any new problem.
Most of the refugees wish to re-

with the first opportunity and with
one idea only-to help build up
their country in the best and most
efficacious way which offers.
Perhaps the greatest problem
which the outside world must solve
is the cvaet method which shall
be used in helping Russia. The Rus
sian psychology is perhaps little
intricate. and only Russians can
deal with it successfully and eff
GENTLY. A certain freedom must be
accorded to Russians to administer
the capital which will be invested
in Russia by other nationalities.
Russia is normally the world
greatest producer of foodstuffs and
raw materials She is also the
worlds most important consumer OF
manufactured goods and a potential
market with unlimited possibilities.
The new Russia which | believe,
will come into being very soon,
will undertake strong economic
advance almost Immediately. The
new Russia will aim to develop it's
farming possibilities at once, and
for that it will need whole new
equipment of farming machinery.
Much of this will be manufactured
in Russia, and Russia will provide
the engineers and workers. asking
only for advance and capital frmo
abroad.
The things which New Russia Will
need for her economic reconstruc-
ton will come mainly from America,
or from Germany. But all Russians
would prefer American goods and
American cooperation. The Ameri-
can Government is the model for
the governments of all the new re-
publics OF the world. and it becomes
thereby. whether or not it wishes
a sort of godfather to these new

Reno, Nev.-The Rodeo, or round

New. the first four days OF July, is
the twenticth century adaptation OF
the original carnival-industria

OF Spanish grants in early California.

work.
Day after day the programme
would be repeated. with slight vari-

then off to other rodcos would go
the younger caballeros, where at
some distant hacienda flashing eyes
of fair maidens would applaud their

Young blood ever runs hot with

life and limb for applause of strange

"ROARINC FORTIES RODEO" TO

costume of the present day cowboy.

cowboy could advertise his prosper

silver with which he could decorate
his saddle. his bride and his spurs.
Many old timers insist that, high
as is lie skill of the modern cowboy
he buckaroO of bygone days in
California and Nevada possessed a
degree OF skill far surprising the
experiences of the preSent-day rider.
Early chronicles tell of wondrous
feats, yet anyone who has witnessed
a wild horse race at the Nevada
roundup would question whether
any of the men whose histories tell
of riding feats could surpass the
riding seen in this event.
| Like dessert 1T Il banquet, the
wild horse race is reserved for the
finale of the roundup. In previous
years ii has brought the most phleg-
matte To his feet, az the riders com
