Dorothy Dix Talks
The Dangerous Ago.

At 80 the unmarried woman is apt
to get into a blind panic over being
an old maid. She suddenly realizes
| that all of her girl friends are married
and settled. So are most of the men
with whom she started out to play
with as a girl. 1t is also forcibly
borne in upon her that a new genera
ton of mere children is monopoIizing
the ball room floor, and that they look
upon her as an aged party who should
be content to retire to the side lines
and watch the game instead of taking
part in it.
Then it is that woman loses her
head and marries any man who asks
her. Then it is she marches to the
altar with the poor widower with
seven small children. or the old sutton
whom she has refused a hundred
times before, but whom she grabs at
last in her desperation.
The most dangerous age of all to
women, however, comes about As. 1t
is at this age that the married woman
is in peculiar peril because it is then
that she realizes that for her. the last
call had come for the dining car, and
that if she is ever to taste again the
bread and wine of romance, she must
do it quickly It's now or never for
her.
She wants to be told once more that
u
again that she has the power to thrill
a man. She wants to hear some good,
hot sizzling love talk. She wants one
more draft of youth, and all that went
with youth. and to get it she will risk
not only her immortal soul, but her
bread and butter; and shopping ticket
and limousine.
If there were any amulets that
would protect a woman of forty-five
against the dangers of her time of
life. Heavens knows she should be
strung with them from head fogfeot
The dangerous age begins for a man
about so, and the quieter and more
domestic man he has been, the greater
his peril. If your will notice the &C
counts of the men who fall into the
clutches of adVenturesses, or the men
who are the heroes of unsavory scam
dals, or the men who run off with
chorus girls, you will see that they
are nearly all between so and so years
old.
Up to sthat time. tho average man
is so busy making his money OF climb
ing up in his profession that women
scarcely count in his life. Having
achieved his goal he begins to think
of amusing himself, and then the
sirens getShim. He knows nothing of
the arts and wiles of the sisterhoed,
and any girl baby can make him be-
leVe that she loves him for himself
alone even while she is Fobbing him
of the very shirt upon @his back
When man waits until he is mid
die aged to take his lay time he finds
it a costly business, for the piper al
ways charges an extra price when the
old dance.
Happy the Tibetans who know Just
the dangerous age and have a charm
against it. Alas, with US the years
of indiscretion are many, and we have
no magic that prevails against their
dangers.

THE RAILROAD SIDE.

The head of one of the great farm
organizations has declared that unless
the railroads pass the wage reduc-
lions along to the shippers in the form
of reduced rates his organization will
back up the brotherhoods in their
fight against reductions in wages.
The suggestion that freight rates be
reduced without further reduction Of
wages is based upon an apparent be-
lief that the public has not already
received any benefit from the wage
reduction which was made by the la
Dor board, effective July l, 1921, says
a statement issued by the railway eN-
ecutives. The statement in part fol-
lows:
Thousands of Establishments have
been made, as promised by the car
riers, to restore recognized and Well
established relationships. These, with
few exceptions, have been reductions,
and all subtract from railroad net
substantially all changes in the
classification of freight that have been
made have been reductions, because
the classification committee was un-
der instructions to observe the gem
eral policy of making no changes
which would result in increased rates.
In addition there have been many
subtantial reductions of commodity
rates Whether made to recover or
retain traffic agaist steamship. motor
truck or other forms of competition,
to facilitate the export business OF the
country, to adjust the rates from one
source OF production to meet those
from another. to restore or stimulate
the movement of a commodity which
may have been retarded, or TO assist
producers who have been especially
affected by the depression and read
1ustment of business, the reductions
have subtracted an enormous amount
from the aggregate revenue which II
was computed by the commission
would accrue to the carriers. To il
1ustrate:
Rates on livestock have been re-
duced IS per cent, and on copper bull
lien 25 per cent. On lumber from
the Pacific coast, approximately Ia
per cent; from New Orleans and Gal
weston to New York, from S5 to &c
per cent; on cotton from Gulf ports
to New York, from 20 to 25 per cent
Rates from the Pacific coast have

THOUGHTS AT A FUNERAL.
His cheeks have paled and his eyes are
closed,
At last in peace are his hands reposed
Now what is the wealth that he leaves
behind
For the world to know and the age to find -?
The sort of wealth which the old world
heeds,
A lasting record of kindly deeds.
Across the threshold which bears his name
Never has stalked the demon Shame:
Within the walls where he used to dwell
Now sit The people he loved SO we'll,
Clean and honest and brave and true,
All of them mourning the friends they
knew.
Let the thoughtless smirk and the eynics
sheer.
This humble couch is a great mans bier
Mark his children, his girl and lad
Portray the father which they have had;
They are his gifts, if men understood,
To the nations wealth and the nations
good.
A high example is stricken low
Unmoved by fashion or pOmp or show,
He lived his life. At his modest hearth
He talked Of honor and truth and worth,
And high above when he closed his eyes
The angeles whispered: "A great man

Someway the knowledge gave her
pleasure. For not only to her was
Craig Forester attractive, he was by
way of being lionized by many So
ciety women, aDd was continuously
invited to their homes. flattered, and
feted.
1.-The way women throw them
selves at Craig is ridiculous" Mrs.
Walters once remarked to- Margaret,
can't they see that he isn't the sort
of man to be caught by such tactics ?"
Margaret made no reply, but was
pleased that Janet Walters with all
her worldly wisdom felt as she, Mar
garet, did about Mr. Forester. He
was fast becoming more than mere
friend to her. She was frankly de-
lighted when with him, and now
that she saw him nearly every day
she recognized the fact that She, If
not in love, cared very much for him,
his friendship.

Citizens of Topeka are entitled 20
feel certain degree of pride over the
fact that they live in the fastest grow
ing city in Kansas. The report issued
by J. c. Mohler. secretary Of the state
board of agriculture, and compiled
from returns aof the tax assessors,
shows that the city's population has
increased nearly 5,00O-4,S39 to be
exact-in the past year There is no
substantial reason why these figures
cannot be duplicated or even exceed
ed during the current year if dwellings
and business houses in sufficient num-
Der can be provided for the increas-
ing population. There is much build
ing of residences in progress at this
time, but not enough to supply the
steadily increasing demand. In the
matter of business houses there is no
place for a new firm to find shelter.
More Commercial buildings must be
erected if rents are to be prevented
from becoming prohibitive.
