Dorothy Dix Talks
Training Men for Matrimony-2.
BY DOROTHY DIX
WssiA's Highest Paid Woman Wrassu


1 should also teach my boy to be
just enough to recognize that wife
has right to her own personal opin-
ion, her religious and political faith,
and to a rational amount of amuse-
ment, and that because woman hap
pened to be married to him was no
reason why she should be the echo of
all his opinions, and desire to spend
all of her time admiring him.
Then 1 should further train the boy
for matrimony by having him make a
profound study of feminine psychol-
ogy. Men have never thought it
worth while to study women, yet there
is no other subject that would better
repay the effort. For any man can
work any woman if he only takes the
trouble to find out how to do it.
The trained husband would know
that the Salve jar is mightier than the
hammer with women, and that you
can easily cajole woman along the
road that you cannot drive her into.
He would be able to analyze his wife's
tears and know when she wept for
grief, and when she wept for revenue
only, and SO know when to pat her on
the back and say, There, there" and
when to tell her not to be a fool.
Above all, he would be wise to the
fact that if man wants his wife to
pinch every nickel until the buffalo
howlS with agony, he must praise her
for thrift instead of lambaste her for
her extravaganza. If he wants his
wife to be a cook who is a cracker
jack, he must boast of her achieve
ments with the gas range, instead of
grumble over her failures. If he
wishes freedom to come and go as he
pleases, instead of having to punch
the time clock, he must proclaim
aloud to his friends about how liberal
minded she is, instead of making a
| sneak when her back is turned. And
E r. !, 1,.,f
and gowns, he must refrain from crit
icising her taste.
Then my student of matrimony
should acquire a nifty line of CONVEX
sation, suitable for home consumption.
The reason that most women get mar
| ried is to get a companion, and when
| they find out that they are united to
a. dummy with about as little enter
tanning talk as wax figure in store
window, they are naturally disgrun-
| tied.
Nothing would do more to make
marriage cheerful and pleasant than
! for men to be trained to collect news
and disseminate it in a pleasing and
| interesting fashion in the family cir
| Gle. Whenever you find a man who is
| jolly and gossipy at home, and who
takes the trouble to scintillate as
much at his own table as he does at
other peoples, you will find q home
| in which marriage is a success.
| Finally, L should teach a boy to be
tender with women, to be sorry for
them, to be gentle with them: for
there come times to every woman
| when marriage is failure to her un-
| less she can throw herself upon the
tenderness of her husband, as she can
upon the mercy ofiGod.
| The professor is right. Men should
| be trained for matrimony, but if they
were. no man would escape. Every
woman would be after him.

WHO PAYS THE TAXES?

More than twenty-five per cent of
all state contributions for financing
the federal government during the
period of the war came from the state
of New York, according to the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce. This does
not mean that New Workers really pay
more than the citizens of other states
but that they act in the capacity of
collection agents for the government.
The amount of war loans floated in
New York during the war period was
more than double the entire interest
bearing debt of the nation at the close
of the Civil war, while the amount of
internal revenue taxes collected in the
state in the three most recent fiscal
years was greater than that collected
in the entire country during the pre-
ceding seven years.
The bank publishes official statis-
tics to show that out of S12,9SS, ,S62,-
900 collected in internal revenue taxes
during the three fiscal years ending
1920. New York paid 's3.1SS,S43,0o
In addition, of the total allotments of
S21, ABS, 81 900 in liberty bonds and
notes during the five loans, $780,
$4,000 were allocated to New York.
Her contributions, therefore. amount
ed to sS,744,S19.o0o in national to-
tai of $S4,s74,2Ss,oOO for loans and
taxes.
Eight states provided nearly three
fourths OF all the internal revenue
and two-thirds of all loans issued.
These states, each of which contrib
uted at least one billion dollars to
public expenditures during the war
period. listed in the order of amounts
furnished, are: New York. Pennsyl-
vania, Illinois, Ohio, Massachusetts,
California, New Jersey and Michigan.

new item of expense recently has
been added to the cost of doing busi-
ness in this country. AS a result of
frequent strikes by organized labor,
insurance companies are issuing poll
cies designed to protect employers OF
labor against loss in case their en-
ployes walk out. The premium is a
stiff one but many employers feel
that they cannot afford to do without
this kind of insurance. The cost, of
course, ultimately is paid by the GUS
toner, and a portion of it reaches the
persons who have made this new eX-
pense necessary. 1t seems that it is
not yet generally understood that no
class of citizens can gain and perma-
uently hold the upper hand of all
other classes of citizens. Thru or
ganization and the exertion of pow
erful influences it may be done for a
while but sooner or later the evening
up is certain to come. 1t would be
better for everybody in the world if
strikes were thing unknown.

honoring the Saviour, who is their
souls chief Desire and Friend.
Woman has ever been the priestess
at the altar fires of religion and ideal
ism. A profound and universal truth
underlies the sneer that women make
up the bulk of church members and
workers. They do, thank God. Even
in the days of His flesh, our Lord
was better understood by Mary of
Bethany than even by John, the dis
ciple who reclined upon Jesus breast.
AS He said, she perceived His ap-
preaching sacrifice. and anointed His
spirit for life, as we'll as His body for
the burial. The spiritual discernment
Of woman shines out in all final tests

THE EMPIRE OF SILENCE.


There is much more of US in what

And, strange tho it may seem, there
is ever going on in the Empire of ST.

munications which unite in bands of
steel all who roam within this realm.
So that among all of those who are
worth while, there is a veritable under

All that Jesus left in words may be

of what Cromwell said-but volumes
about what he did.
1t is not what we say but what we
do and live that marks our place or

But a man must have a deep buried
faith to keep silent. He must feel Il
great deal of his way And he must
