WIVES WHO FAIL
SHE BOSSED
HIS OFFICE
BY RUTH AGNES ABELING
BEFORE her marriage she had been
h,ncinn orc ,,n,,,n1n hnrcalf

business woman ueISelI.
And somehow the lure of the game
kept Juggling at her-shc couldn't
quite get away from it.
But the idea of a home and the
man she cared for, finally won and so
she married him, and with one eye
turned all of the while toward the
business world, she went into the
lovely place he established for her.
And of course he was her only
means of getting back then, so it was
his business or the one he was con-
nected with to which she turned her
attention. ssaaslaE
Evenings when he came home She
would go. over the thing with him,
particularly that part with which his
feminine assistants were concerned,
and tell him just what they should do
and just how they should do.
He was elated! He thought it
was fine, wonderful, this having a
wife who understood so well and
could help with his office And so
from her home, in which there were
pretty cushions. pretty lights, in
which there was no rush and were
no rules and no several dozen super
iors, she began a certain sort of
supervision of his feminine aids.
Gradually the routine of his office,
which had previously been such a
nicely working thing, began to hitch.
Everyone seemsd to be working at
cross purposes. Effort was wasted
And, worse, everyone seemed to
be developing a strange hatred for
everybody else.
And he, poor innocent husband,
spent long hours trying TO figure out
in just what guise his Satanic Ma
jesty had invaded the place
Then one day he received a letter
from his mother. 1t was q message
for his wife advising her to can the
cucumbers a certain way because
she liked them best that way. Hap
PLY unsuspecting he carried the
thing home and read it to his wife.
II wish she'd attend to her own
affairs-doesn't she know that I have
not any place to put those great big
| crocks?' There were little barbed
icicles in her voice.
Suddenly her husband understood
what was the matter with his office.
| But she never realized why it was
that they ouarreled every time She
mentioned the place.

DR.. BARTON'S
DAMYLETTER
A STORY OF DEFEAT AND
VICTORY
By DR.. William E Rarton


I IVES of successful men yield to us
A material for many lessons, one
OF which is that the average man
who succeeds, succeeds before he be-
gins.
That is not always true. There are
men to whom success comes late and
after many failures; it is never too
late for a man to hope.
But the first element in success is
that which a man accomplished in
his mastery of himself.
The man who has an idea to "sell, ,"
as the modern term has it, must
first sell it, to himself. When he
has accomplished that, the rest is
not so dicicult.
When Columbus had assured him
self that the earth was round, it
was Just a question of time when he
would be able to convince the world
of it.
An irresolute man, half convinced,
still debating the pros and cons,
could never have induced Queen
Isabella to have pawned her jewels
Success comes to the man who is
so sure of his fact that he cannot
be dissuaded or confuted.
In the early pitched battles of the
World War, the Germans bore down
all opposition, and the world could
not understand it. Later it was
found that weeks before the fight,
they had duplicated in the rear Of
their own position the trenches they
were to take, and had fought over
the ground. yard by yard, trench by
trench, against opposing forces of
their own comrades. They won the
fight before they began it. When
zero hour actually arrived, it found
them not simply ready, but with the
victory already won.
The German army is not the only
school in which this lesson is
taught Life is moderately full of
men who have learned that method.
They are victors before the fight be-
gins because they have won the
battle within themselves And other
men go out defeated before they fire
The first shot.

IN the United States $4,000 womer

IN the United States $4,000 women
die in childbirth every year 1t is
conservatively estimated that half Of
them are the victims of defective care
during, preceding or following the
birth of the child. The fatalities
among children during the critical
first year are upwards of 100000.
HALE OF THESE ARE SAID TO
PERISH NEEDLESSLY BECAUSE
THE GOVERNMENT TAKES NO
THOUGHT OF THEM.
The extent to which we as a nation
have been remiss in our duty to The
mothers and babies, is shown by the
fact that the United States is seven
teenth among the nations of the
world in respect to protection of
chlld-bearing women. And we are
seventh in respect of protection 10
the babies.
This is not guesswork. 1t is bas-
ed upon the death-rate figures of the
enlightened nations Of the world.
THE Sheppard-Towner bill is de-
signed to wipe out the stigma
which these figures have placed upon
the nation.
The amount of money, which it
appropriates, $1,480,000, is nconse-
qucntial in view of the urgency of
the situation and the great objec-
tive.
During the two and half years
that Congress has been considering"
the bill, 10000 mothers and. $780,
600 babies have died as the result of
the lack of care which they would
have received had it been promptly
enacted into law.
There can be no possible excuse
for further delay and every member
of the lower house of Congress who
directly or indirectly contributes to
the delay should be held responsible.

EHE Sheppard-Towner bill to pro
vide federal assistance in ma.
ternity cases was passed by the Sen
ate several weeks ago by a vote of
S3 to Z. 1t ment to the House, where
1t was referred to committee with the
understanding that it would be
promptly considered and reported out
for final action.
1t still reposes in committee and
the news from Washington is that is
seems to be the intention to let it die
there.
If this happens it will be RANK
BETRAYAL of the MILLIONS OF
AMERICAN WOMEN who, through
their organizations, have endorsed the
bill and urged its passage.
1t is clearly the one thing more
than any other which the women Of
the nation have agreed should be
written into the legislation of the
country.
The Sheppard Towner bill is no
maudlin sentimental experiment as
the few who oppose it have tried to
make out. 1t is a very practical eff
font to alleviate the suffering moth
ers and to save the lives of mothers
and babies.
A similar law exists in most other
