DOROTHY DIX TALKS-Youthfu1 Marriages

BY DORO THY DE-

a GIRL of fifteen writes me that she is
II very much in love with boy of seven
N teen, and that they are planning to elope
as their hard-hearted parents refuse to
let them be married, in the conventional man
ner. And she wants to know if think she
will be happy.
Not a chance of it, my dear! 1t needs no
prophet to foretel that if you marry at fifteen
you will be divorced at twenty, and that just
about time when the other girls of your age
are having their comng-out parties, you will
be crawling in, broken-hearted and ashamed,
to the home you are SO eager now to leave!
The only certain thing about child mar
riage is that it is bound to end in disaster,
and bring lifelong regrets to the two poor,
silly young creatures, who gambled with their
lives before they were old enough, and wise
enough, to realize the risks they took, or how
hazardous is the matrimonial game, and what
skill and fnesSe it takes to play winning
hand in it,
Of all the follies that any human being,
male or female, can commit, none equals the
because it lacks every single, solitary thing
upon which it is possible to build a house of
happiness, or out of which you can construct a
binding tie between man and woman.
1t lacks love. 1t lacks money. 1t lacks con
geniality and suitability. 1t lacks Self-control
of the pleasures of youth 1t lacks the desire
to settle down and be about the business of
life that is the real bedrock OF domesticity.
Of course any young girl who thinks she
is il love will Scorn me when l tell her that
chicken love is the most ephemeral thing in
the world and that like the dew on the rose
it vanishes while we are still looking at it..
Nevertheless it is true, and because you like to
dance with some boy whose step matches your
own, or you dream about the way he Sticks
his hair back or you thrill when he kisses you
good night and holds your hand at the movies
is no sign you entertain a deathess affection
for him.
Consider, my dear, the things you raved over
last summer. Recall the boy at the beach that
you thought Just too cute for anything. Re-
member the sundaes you dotted on, the frocks
you were crazy about. How you despiSe them
now! You smile with pity at the unsophiSti-
Gated girl you were then. How your tastes
have changed, improved! And how you would
be bored to tears if you had to do the things,
and wear the things you adored only twelve
month ago.
Well, husband isn't like frock You
can't throw him into the discard, or wish him
on country cousin like you can dress you
have Wearied of. Yet, you can grow as sick
of the sight of the man to whom you are
married as you can of year-before-ast faded
muslin. And believe me, little girl, life has no
greater tragedy than to be tied to a husband
who has nothing the matter with him except
that you have just lost your taste for him.

We Ought to Be Ashamed

EFT us pause moment in our lament
over the lull in Americas high pros
perity to look at Austria. The
rency of that bewildered nation now has but
one per cent of its pre-war purchasing
strength, while the average increase in food
and clothing prices is one hundred and nine
teen times. Moreover, the majority of mid
dle-class workers have had so relatively
small increase in salaries since 1914 that
same as if American earning thirty dol
lars week should suddenly have his wage
reduced to three"
Bearing in mind that an Austrian krone
is equivalent to one hundred hellers, and a
er, in normal times, to above one-ffth of
a cent, consider these advances in value:
flour which cost forty-four heller in the sum-
mer of the wars outbreak now costs eighty
five krones; sugar has gone from eighty-four
heller to one hundred and ninety-five krones,
and fats from little less than two heller to
zee hundred and fifteen kroneS; a suit Of
~'.les from seventy krones to eighteen thou
sand krones; shirt from five krones to nine
hundred and seventy-ive krones; a pair of
shoes from sixteen krones to eighteen hun
dred; felt hat from ten to twelve hundred
II conditions in America were a 1.-THE as
distressful as this report shows Austria to
be, we should count ourselves of all people
most wretched and be tempted like Job to
curse heaven and die. But men keep tolling
ON in Austria, and women gather pinched
children to their hearts, thankful if crust
be left to give them, and the days dawn and
.darken Not there alone but in score of
lands and in millions of human lives hunger
grows painfully intense and Joy comes no
more but in dreams. Yet, we of this boun-
tiful and blessed country fall to complaining
if our every harvestide is not trimming and
every venture a success.

Bobbed Hair and High Heels

wv WITHOUT it's continually recurring
M comedies of much ado about moth
ing, life would be weary and stale"
if not "flat and Improbable" Tongues
must wag, eyebrows lift, and the solemn
Malvolios inveigh against cakes and ale, or
this all too heart-burdening world of ours
would wax truly insupportable. The mo-
mentous disputation over high heels, short
skirts and bobbed hair serves much the same
purpose today as did an equally grave con-
troversy over the length of ruffs and the
style of poodles in the London of good Queen
Ress But while these fateful issues engage
the esoteric few the mass of Ewes daugh-
tiers and Adams sons go their way upper
turbed, too absorbed in rearing children,
winning bread, being neighbors, minding
their duties and dreams, to be capable of
entering the dialectcs of bobbed hair and
high heels.

Business Men, READING

Writing in that sturdy magazine the Ma
tons Business, Fred Kelly relates that for
some time he has been asking "big success
full business men, what they reau. ''The as
topishing thing u.s." he says, "that, aside
from the daily papers, stock reports and
trade journals, comparatively few of them
read anything"
Business is the poorer, business men are
the poorer, and the world of thought is the
poorer because of this neglect. The keen
and originative ntellgences that str in the
realm of commerce and industry would be
wonderfully enriched and N urn, would en-
rich wonderfully their own and the common
interests if they rubbed wits with science,
literature and philosophy. Our own opn-
ion is that they read more widely and va
riously than is supposed, and ofttime to bet
ter effect than the satiated scholars.

Fines for BreWerieS

Fines aggregating considerably in excess
of 500, 900" will be levied against six New
Orleans breweries raided two weeks ago by
prohibition enforcement officers who seized
thousands of gallons of real beer. This
announced following a conference be-
tween United States District Attorney Henry
Mooney and E. H, Lloyd, of Washington, spe-
cial counsel for the prohibition commissioner.
The case against the breweries will be
thrown out of federal court through a series
of technical maneuvers, according to Lloyd,
who refused to state definitely why this
ton had been decided upon. 1t was under.
stood that injunction would be sought re.
straining the breweries from manufacturing
beer containing more than one-half of 1 per
cent alcohol, and that when the breweries
paid the fines and complied with all govern
ment requirements they would be allowed to
resume operations and injunctions granted
them, preventing prohibition officers from in.
terfering with operation of the breweries,
would be set aside.

Farmer Tells of Southern Trim

|
The following communication wa,
received from Geo. Troeh, one of tn,
well known and prosperous farmers o.
l'the Tolo section, who with his wifi,
and son recently returned from a,
extended visit TO Arizona and Cali
fornia points:
Thinking that or friends would like
to nkow something Of our trip where
we have been and what we have saw
! am writing 1t up as best can.
We started on the 26th of January
from Fem, Idaho. Arriving at lew.
iston, we boarded the streetcar. and
went over to Charleston, where we have
friends, and spent few pleasant
hours with them. and finishing with
a fine lunch at the Tracey.
We left Lewiston on the o. w. r..
4 N. for Portland, where we arrived
in the early morning. Here we visited
with my sister and family, and my
Oldest brother, hale and hearty at the
age of IS years.
We remained in Portland two DAYS
and then went to Hillsborough, Ore
gon, where we visited with an uncle
and aunt of Mrs. Troeh. 1t so happen
ed that her sister and husband were
also there. To say that W enjoyed the
visit, is expressing it lightly. We
surely We're happy family.
Our visit ended, we returned to
Portland and started from there for
Los Angeles over the Southern Pacific.
We were on the cars three days and
two nights, enjoying the sights during
the day and sleeping well at night.
While running through the Sacrament
to valley, we saw thousands of acres
OF rice not threshed, and quite lot
that had never been cut AN this. I
was told had been spoiled by the ear
ly rains. This. of course. means a
heavy loss in that territory.
We reached Los Angeles very tired,
and good bed at the hotel Morris
was greatly appreciated.
The next morning we boarded a
sightseeing bus for Culver City where
the largest portion of the moving pic
lures are made. Enroute to this city
we viewed many fine residents and
other buildings belonging to million
aires, some Of whom they say use dia-
mond tires on their automobiles, and
wash their windows with golddust.
(Joke)
We took bus to Venice, a bathing
resort, but as there was nothing doing
there. we went back to Culver City.
where we were treated to a fine lee
ture by Mr.. Culver himself.
This lecture was very interesting.
Mr.. Culver is the busiest man i ever
saw. He is so busy in the real estate
business that he cannot talk to any
one personally.
After the realestate men had soil
several lots, we returned to Los Angel.

trich farm, where we saw a big bird
driven to a four wheel buggy. We took
several snap shots Of these big birds,
