tsed. had no will save that of the
hypnotist. Harrison Kirke declared
that hypnotism was bunk.
To settle the discussion. Osgood

came out OF his trance and found him
self shining Osgood's shoes with a
handkerchief, he flew into a rage.
"I'l kill you for this!" he threat

evil thinE-to commit an act that is
not hidden in his heart to do" Clay

The Value of siIence-1.
By DOROTHY DIX
worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

Inc value OF Sllence-1.
The other day a man testified in
court that he told everything he knew,
and everything that happened to him
to his wife.
"Humph," commented the magis-
trate, you belong in heayen!"
Or in the home for the feeble
minded, say I. For there is no doubt
that people get themselves into>trouble
by talking too much in the family cir
Gle, as well as outside of it, Indeed,
erything you know, and think, and
that you think you think, to the part
ner of your bosom than it is to a rank
stranger, for strangers have not the
same uncanny memories that hus-
bands and wives have, nor have they
the same opportunities of arising and
casting your communications in your
teeth.
Many are the men and women who
have been lured by some loquacious
mood into telling to the ones to whom
they are married the unexpurgated
stories of their lives, and who have
never heard the last of it. Perhaps,
they told of some youthful folly Per-
| haps they confessed some wrong, COM
mitted years and years ago, and that
has been repented in sack cloth and
ashes, but, in either case, the indis-
Greet babblers furnished the whip OF
scorpions with which they were flayed
the balance of their lives.
There was never a-~fam1ly scrap In
which their skeleton, was not brutaHy
dragged out of the closet IN which it
was hidden, and they were made to
live over again the old shame and the
old remorse. Worse still, the man and
woman who told the things that they
should have kept locked in their own
breasts furnished to their wives ana
husbands unending food for suspicion
and doubt and jealousy.
The sinners may know that, because
they have once stumbled, they will
forever after watch their step; that
because they have been burnt chill
dren they will henceforward keep a
safe distance from the fire. but it
takes a. bigger understanding than the
average husband and wife possess TO
enable them to appreciate this The
minute they find out that their idols
have feet of clay they jump to the
conclusion that all the balance of them
is mud, and their faith is gone in
them.
When people get married each is
entitled to know that the other brings
over no liabilities that will endanger
the prosperity of the new firm. Be-
yond that the slate should be wiped
clean, and a new account started, so
when either husband or wife is
tempted to tell the other things that
are done and past and that cannot
be helped, or remedied. or changed
now, and that would be bitter knowl-
edge to the one who is ignorant of it.
why, he or she should go off and
count a million backwards before
speaking.
Never was there a more fallacious
theory than that it makes for domes-
tic peace and happiness for husbands
and wives to tell each sther every
thing. On the contrary what people
don't know don't hurt them, and no
other conversations should be so care
fully censored. and so much deleted.
as that which takes place between
married couples.

: The United States secretary of la
Dor has made public a statement de-
signed to show that the condition of
unemployment is not so bad as it
looks. He points out that many moro
persons were out of work in 1914
than are idle today. When the secre-
tary's figures are viewed jim conjunc-
ton with the fact that many of those
now jobless were not wage earners
before the war, the situation is not
SO appalling as the public may have
been led to|oelieve. The greatest OBJ
struction in the way of industrial de-
velopment and increased employment
in this country is the lack of adequate
transportation at a reasonable cost.
The farmer finds that. after he pays
the freight necessary to carry his
products to the market, there is little
left to reward him for his labor. The
manufacturer finds that, after ahe has
deducted the freight, which he must
pay to get his raw material to- the
factory, and after he has paid the
freight necessary to carry his manu-
featured products to the consumer.
NE is compelled to fix his price so
high that the consumer can not afford
to buy. AS a result, production, is
being curtailed. pri&s are being kept
up, and the industries and labor of
the country are suffering. ...
