Dorothy. Dix Tails
What women Like.
M DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.


There is something primitive in
women that makes them want to cling
to the chap with the good right arm,
who can shoulder his way thru a
crowd and tranple everybody in his
get an exquisite, neurotic thrill from
the feeling that a mans brawny hand
could crush the life out of them it it
would. They like the sensation of
near-fear that they get when they
think that they've got this beast tied
up with pink ribbons, that might
break at any minute.
Women like mental strength in a
man. No woman desires ito know as
much as ner husband, or to be his
superior in education. Still less does
she desire to be the practical one of
the family. the one with good judg-
ment who has to decide things.
In her heart every woman yearns
to sit at her husbands feet, and to
look up to him as an oracle. She
wants to be able to revere and admire
him. and to go to him for direction
and counsel.
No woman ever really loves a man
she can henpeck. because there can
be no love without respect. and she
doesn't respect the spineless creature
who let's her dominate. him. You will
never find a happy home in which the
hen rules the roost. 1t is only those
wives who begin every sentence with
John says" who are really satisfied
with their life partners, and with
whoTR marriage is a success.
Women like men who have strength
of will. and who can not only control
themselves but dominate them. That
is why a man makes the mistake of
his life when he gives in to the
whims and exactions of woman. He
thinks that he makes her love him by
humoring her. Instead, he kills her
love, because she despises him for be-
ing too weak and cowardly to fight
her to a standstfll and force her to
behave herself.
All of us know splendid men who
have worked themselves to death to
crafty the senseless extravaganza of
wasteful woman. We have known
men whose lives have been passed in
terror of the temper of the vira COS
who slipped around their own houses
like a deprecating shadow, to keep
from precipitating hysterical scenes in
which their wives INDUCED whenever
they were thwarted. We have known
men who were baked in their ambi-
lions by their wives refusing to go
where fortune beckoned.
Did you ever see one of these men
who had wife that really loved him.

for the sacrifice he made for her?

Agreement Reached in Joplin-Pitts-

Labor union members came right

settling an Industrial. dispute. Judge
w. L. Higgins, presiding judge of the

Members of the court of industrial

agreed and any chance of strike in
the district was eliminated when the
case was settled with the court judges

GALLI-CURcI CONCERT

Topeka's series of concerts by visit
ing artists came to q brilliant close
last night with the recital by CALI
Curci, the marvellous coloratura So
prano. AlthO this was her second visit
to Topeka the audience was nearly as
large<as last year, when it completely
titled the auditorium. including a
large number of chairs placed on the
stage. This in itself is no mean tri-
umph for both the singer and Mr..
Dotterweich, but the audience was not
only large, it was enthusiastic. After
each number she was recalled many
times and rarely indeed did the APP
plause cease until an encore had been
added.
One is at a loss to find new adjec-
tlves to apply to Galli-Curci's work,
new superlatives with which to de-
scribe the velvety smoothness of the
upper tones. the accuracy of the trill
and the brilliance of her colorature.
She is unique, one by herself, with no
competitors, voice md an art that
visits this world but seldom.
Sharing in the applause of the eve
ming was her husband, Homer Sam
uels, for his beautiful work as accom-
PIANIST, and in the new role of COM
poser for his composition for the flute
and his songs. on the songs NV
Shadow" is a brilliant and humorous
bit of real virtuosity and considerable
individuality.
Manuel BerenguerAthe flutist, also
was received with favor, and was COM
PEELED to- add an encore after his
group of solos. AS a foil to CALI
Curcis lovely tones his work in the
songs with flute obbligato was very
satisfactory.
Lastly the program carried the an
nouncement of next years series and
the promise of good things to come
thrilled one with anticipation. Surely
Topeka has been unusually blessed
among cities of her size this year and
next year has even more in store for
her, musically speaking.

lion program was failure, not score

tracts for aircraft, aeronautical equip

fact, everything connected with the

earnings to his government Workers
in the cities will continue to receive
from their labor only what they need

Lenin started out with the theory
that there is no such thing as a right
of property, and that. his administra-
ton had right to confiScate anything
that then existed or should subse-
quently be produced. devoting the
confiscated property to any one that
met his pleasure. He took over the
management of all sorts of industries
and enterprises. deposing the men who
had built them UP and were supposed
to be the owners, and placed in char se
men without training. ability or ex-
perience. The result was what every
body expected-the industries were
poorly conducted and people refused
to go on producing when there was
assurance that the fruits Of their toll
would be seized by the eomuunis. ic
leader.
Lenin has been compelled to ac-
knowledge his inability to make peo-
pie produce when he refuses to recog-
nize the right of property.

Towns not what 1t used to be;

Isn't open any more.

Moved away or Travelled on
To a brighter realm than this,
An, the girls we used to kiss
An 90 courtin' with. somehow
Don't seem half So pretty now.
Folks have told me that the farm
Where 1 lived, has lost its charm
An they've paved the dusty street
Which was velvet to our feet,
An it'se now thorofare
With the hum Of motors there:
wouldn't want to lose the joy
That I've treasured from boy
Guess I'd better keep always
Memories Of those happier days.
I'm afraid of goin' back,
Memory still keeps the track
To those favorite haunts of mine
Like a painted canvas fine,
An the old spots live with me
Just the way they used to be; "
An tn see them now would seem
Much like ehattering dream,
So the town shall live with me
Just the way it used to be.

THE OPEN SHOP WAR.

Labor leaders continue to insist
that there exists among employers
conspiracy designed to Crush organ
lied labor" No proof of the truth of
this charge has been offered, but for
the sake of discussion suppose it be
admitted. The situation then becomes
one of the pot calling the kettle black.
That there is a conspiracy on the part
of labor to gain absolute control of
the means of production and trans
portation there is abundant evidence.
The strongest proof of this lies in the
Plumb plan for control of the rail-
roads which has the support of the
labor unions thruout the country.
In a contention for supremacy be-
tween the two forces the only class
likely to be crushed is the great body
of persons who belong to neither.
Union labor recognizes the fact-that
the employers bulwark of defense
lies in the millions of workers who do
not belong to any union. Against
these it directs its fight. A man may
be a good workman and refuse to be-
come a member of an orga nization for
reasons sufficient unto himself He
may object to giving up a part of his
earnings to the organization treasury.
He may object to being dictated to as
to when, where, how long and for
what price he shall work
1t may be said that the man who
joins union has voice in framing
its rules and regulations. But the ma
more tyrannical and oppressive than
majorities sometimes become. The
truth Of this is seen in the frequent
repeal OF hastily enacted laws and IN
annulment of legislation by the
courts.
The campaign for the open shop
now being carried on by-certain
groups of employers probably Is
wholly defensive and is not based on
any desire to "crush organized labor"
The remedy for the existing situation
lies in greater spirit of cancellation
and fair dealing on both sides and a
willingness on the-part of the unions
to accept responsibilities. Without
these, both parties to the contention
are certain to suffer and the general
public more than either. Nothing
was ever gained by recrinhnations or
by hurting back ana forth unfounded
charges.
The fight organized labor has made
and is making for laws compelling
employers to deal with union men.
laws prohibiting the courts from using
the only effective remedy to restrain
conspiracies against open shops, laws
exempting labor from the operation of
the antitrust acts, strikes for the
closed shop, and boycotts against non
union merchandise. knows no seasons.
1t shows an undaunted purpose to
place the right to work and the oppor-
tunity to employ under the exclusive
control of organized labor.
The issue is finally in the hands Of
the public-in the hands of the farm
ers who ship on unionized railroads,
buy union made machinery and sell 10
unionized stores; the statesmen, trades
men and professional men who buy
union made clothes, union printed
newspapers, eat in union restaurants
and go to union operated pictures ana
union acted plays: bankers. engineers
and brokers, who buy union made au-.
tomobiles. union made jewelry, are
shaved by union BARRIERS and buried
by union undertakes.
1t is to the interest of both sides to
get right with the public.
