In discussing business conditions for
March Roger w. Babson estimates
that the bank clearings, building per-
mfts, and other figures now coming
out for the first two weeks of March
show that the time and energy which
100000 of our people have given to
preparing these reports resulted in a
loss of about $1,000. 900. 900 In sales,
$3.50, 100000 in manufacturing, and
$500,0O0,000 in other lines. If we add
to this, he says, the time OF book
keepers, accountants, government tax
officials. collectors and inspectors, we
have a far greater loss. If the MAX
ing out of these returns did not cost
one cent, he adds, the country would
not be any better Off THE whole
process is simply robbing Peter to
pay Paul and the robbing costs the
American people about $4,000. 900, 900
a year" While Mr.. Babson's figures
may be a little larger than the facts
warrant, there is no room for doubt
that vast amount of money could be
saved thru the establishment of a less
complicated system of carrying on the
public business. especially in the mat
ter of raising revenue.

Collegs professors marry butterflies. Poor
mer espouse sperders, and then they wall,
and beat upon their breasts, ard call
upon Heaven to witr css that marriage is
failu e, and to see what mis-ht wives they
have got.
Their excuse is the same as my friend s.
They married the women who fired their
far cies in the belief that they could cut
them over to suit their idess, and they
found our too late that the thing couldn't
be done.
There is no other piece Of human vanity
equal to that which makes US believe
that we are more powerful than heredity
and environment, and that we can change
that which Nature has spent twenty or
more years in buildirg up. Men and
women alike hold this theory. Men are
particularly strorg for 1t, but 1t never
works out in either case.
The girl who marries a lazy and dlsso-
lutte man to reform him, firds that he is
just as lazy and dissolute after marriage
as be was before. The man who marries
silly, pleasure-lovirg clothcs-mad girl,
ascertains that she has no more sense
after marriage than she has before, and
that she is Just as crazy about gaddlrg
around, and having good time, and Pans
hnery.
If a man should 60 TO a shop and deliber-
ately select fragile Dresden china parlor
ornament, and then complain when he got
it home that il was not an iron pot, or If
he should buy motort ruck and expect it t
suddenly turn into q satin-hred limousine,
we should send him to the nearest irsare
asvlurn But man asks these miracles of
matrimony every day, and cannot under
stand why they fail TO materiabae.
The only remedy for the unsuitable
marriage is prevention. Pick out the
sort of husband or wife you want, instead
Of trying 10 change a man or woman TO
suit your fancy. For it can't be done.

head. and one whose whole code OF LIE is
20 do the thing she wants to do and leave
undone those things which she doesn't
want TO do.
'Of course" said the man, ri realized
thst Maud had not the culture that |
desired my wife to have, but planned, as
soon as we were married, to undertake
her education myself. / had laid out a
course of study beginning with ancient
History, and coming down to the present
time, and look forward with Joy to re-
reading the classics with her, and intro
ducing her TO all the authors that love.
II find that the mere mention OF history
bores her to tears, and that she absoIuteiy
refuses to read anything deeper than the
trashiest magazines. Why, she doesn
even look at the headlines IN the papers,
and the only person of note OF whose
identity she is absolutely sure, is some
movie hero.
81 also knew before we wer married that
Maud seemed to have no conception oil

except to amuse herself, but | thought
that was because she had particularly
silly mother, and that my influence would

that say has any effect upon her, and
that when | Try to reason with her she

little son being reared by such mother
Hei the brightest, cleverest, most promi-
sing little chap that you ever saw, put
how can he grow up into being the sort OF
man he should, when he has foolish, weak
ignorant, self-indulgent mother to guide
him? How can woman who has no
ideas of her own inspire high Ideals In her
children?
Il try TO do the best can for the little
fellow. but a father influence is negligible
beside a mothers. / am with him two
hours day. She is with him all the time.
What is a man TO do under such clrcum-
stances
Nothing. There is absolutely nothing
70 do. a man can't separate child from
Is mother. because it is an inhuman thing
u do, and because any sort OF mother Is
better than no mother at all
4 mans mistake Is in not picking out
the sort OF mother he wants for his
children beforehand and instead OF object
ne 10 the one he gets. He should even
20 farther back than that. He should give
her mother the once-over. Select the
kind OF grandmother you would Ike
YOUR children to have, and you will not
need 70 worry about them or their up
bringing.
A great many excuses are TO be made
forthe foolish marriages that women make
because a woman has to take the kind OF a
husband she can get. Custom and con-
vention do not permit her to go out openly
and select her mate and the type OF man
that she would like TO have for the father
of her children, but man is free TO pick
and choose. He can look over the whole
rorld of women and take his choice. So
bis wife represents absolutely his taste

WILSON SECLUDED;
BUILDING UP HEALTH

Former President Woodrow VIII
son IS keeping his own counsel these
days. It is doubtful whether there
is anyone outside his immediate fam
ily circle who knows what the form
er president thinks about the de-
elopment of world affairs. It would
not be SURPRISING if even his immedi-
ate family doesn't know.
Since the Wilson's drove from the
capitol to their new home in S street
on the day President Harding was
inaugurated thew have lived about
the most secluded life possible
On occasion they attend the thea
fag a5 dnietiy and inconspicuously as
it can be done, usually occupying
seats IN the rear Of the house near
the entrance. This Is to make the
walk from the motor as short as pos
sible.
The former president is still quite
lame, and while his general health is
said to be improving slowly but sure
ly from week to week, it is not likely
that he ever will be entirely relieved
from the handicap Of lameness.
He receives very few guests, al
though many of his old political
friends would like to call. 1t is not
that he would not like to have them,
but the doctors advise against the
expenditure Of energy involved in
them.
That the former president is
keenly interested in every phase Of
the world situation, particularly
those phases which are in any way
related to the league Of nations or
the treaty Of Versailles, need not be
asserted.
Every newspaper correspondent in
has tried tn get him to
EXPRESS his views for publication and
nanv writers have iourneved to
especially for this pur-
pose.
But the answer is aiwavs the
iame; "Mr. Wilson has nothing to
say"
