| TN HE judge of the Chicago court of do
nestle relations is going to put heart
| - stealing in the same class with sheep
stealing, and hereafter any vamp, male or
| female who purloins the affections of a
man or woman from his or her rightful own
er will have to answer to charge of petty
larceny, and be punished by getting either
a stiff fine, or jail sentence.
Good. No other thief in the world is
as mean as the one who sneaks into home
and robs it of all that was fine and valuable
| in it. ''Who steals my purse steals trash.
] but the man or woman who steals Wo
mans affection and loyalty to her husband,
| or mans love and faith in his wife have
| taken that which leaves them poor indeed.
The jewels and silver of which home is
robbed are often recovered and may be re-
| placed. One can make other money to take
the place of that which a burglar took, but
the treasures of the soul that are once lost
are gone forever. We never recover our
blasted Illusions We never believe again
in the one who has been faithIess to us.
Perhaps it is because it is so impossible
to make the punishment fit the crime that
we have let the home wreckers go scot free,
but surely it is time that their evil trade is
stopped, and they be made to suffer some
penalty for the harm they do. Therefore,
everyone will watch with interest the effort
of the Chicago judge to protect the hearth
stones of honest husbands and wives against
these social yegg men and women.
OF course, the greatest difficulty in deal
ing with the love thieves is that those who
are robbed are always guilty of contributory
negligence, even when they have not gone
into the den of robbers and virtually begged
to be stolen. No man and woman who keep
their hearts safely locked up at home in the
steel vault of honor, and faith, and duty
are in any danger from "the other man. or
| "the other woman"
| No vamp, no matter how OK like her eyes,
or how long her jade ear rings or how snake
| like her figure, can work a spell on the man
who, having married wife, cleaves unto
her and refuses to let his fancy roam AROUND
seeking lesser loves Nor can any man, no
matter how handsome he is, or how adroit
a flatterer, steal away the heart of a woman
whose whole world is made up Of her hus-
| band, her children, and her home.
| 1t is the gay and frivolous minded men
and women, those who take the response
bilities of life lightly, those who are pleas
ure loving, and restless, and avid of new
sensations, who become the victims of the
| heart snatchers, and they are robbed be-
cause they leave the doors and windows
open, and hang out an invitation to the
dishonest to come in.
| Undoubtedly, there are many men and
women who follow home wrecking as a
pastime They are neurotic creatures, who

A DYING NATION
By DR.. Frank Crane

Unconsciously and usually we measure all
questions by the span of our life. But in the
case or nations they should be measured by
centuries.
The most important question for a nation
is not the present generation so much as the
next and the next.
In other words, the success of a nation is
determined by it's fecundity.
The triumphant race at last will be the
outpopulating race.
The long war is to be fought by blood and
stock and breed, not by dreadnoughts or
money.
1t is this fact that alarms France.
And these are the figures in the case:
In 1913 France had a population of So
601, 600. According to the census of 1921.
she had only 36,084,000 The diminution,
therefore, was 8.8 per cent. Even adding in
the population gained in AIsace-Lorraine,
the decrease is 5.5 per cent.
These figures are taken from a French
newspaper, and not from hostile sources It
is the French themselves that are alarmed.
over against this we know that from 1913
TO 1921 the population of England increased
At per cent; that of Prussia (the on1v ma rt
OF new Germany that has been recently
counted) increased 90 per cent: that of
switzerland "a per cent; that of Sweden 81
per cent; that of the United States 149 per
cent; and that of Japan 1876 per cent.
IN ADDITION to this the numerical equiva-
tents between the sexes, ordinarily maintain
ed by a mysterious law of nature. have been
broken by the war, and France today has
three million more women than men. The
war mas brought the masculine population
or France down to what it was in 1858
In three years the country has lost more than
ordinarily in a half century
IL is not only war that depopulates France
tuberculosis removes 100, 900 people every
year.
The drinking places attract the workman
as they are more inviting than his unhea1,
tpy nome, where air and light are lacking.
Nature and destiny have their grim and
silent arguments against alcohol
One hundred thousand newborn infants
ole before they are one year Old of whom
$4,000 perish because their mothers have to
work too hard during pregnancy and are
delivered prematurely; 10000 others because
the mothers were not able or willing to nour-
ISL them; and almost all the rest because
their mothers were ignorant of the art of
caring for children.
The momentum of civilization constantly
tends to urbanize and industrialize the popu-
lation. The result of which is to lower the
standard of life.
One favorable aspect of the question, how
ever, is that the young people are taking
more interest in sports, are developing their
physical forces and resistance.
What France needs is a vigorous cam
naign of hygiene and physical culture, and
there are many Frenchmen who are preach
ing this. No amount of courage and bril-
llancy of spirit can compensate the inevitable
law of physical vitality.
France means something to all the world.
In a sense it is at the forefront of civiIiza-
ton. She should not only realize her position
and put forth every effort to improve it, but
she should receive in this endeavor the
hearty cooperation of every other nation.

get an added thrill of joy out Of filtration,
through the knowledge that they are caus-
ing some one else to suffer the fortunes OF
the damned, and are committing the un-
pardonable sin themselves.
There are men who think every married
woman is fare game, and who have no con-
science about leading weak, silly wives to
forget their marriage vows. They make love
to married women rather than single wo-
men because it is safer, for they are yellow
ours, too cowardly to pay the price Of their
flirtations.
And there are plenty of women, plenty of
girls, even, who boast of their attractions
delight in flattering some bald-headed old
idiot into thinking that he is young and
handsome again, and in love with them, and
in making their fat, old wives mad with
jealousy These women belong to the gold
digger clan, and they prefer married men
to single men because they have more money
and are easier worked
After all, however, to punish the love
thief is not as important as it is to prevent
the robbery taking place; and it is cynically
true that most Zen and women make less
effort to safeguard the heart that has been
given into their keeping than they do to
take care of battered silver spoon.
No woman would leave her diamond
w
etous glance of any light-fingered chamber
maid. On the contrary she keeps it under
lock and key, but she will appear in a
sloppy wrapper, with her hair uncombed,
and have a quarrel with her husband at the
breakfast table, and send him disillusioned,
and disgruntled, down to an office full OF
daintily dressed business girls who are alive
and alert, and whose advancement depends
upon their making themselves agreeable to
him. And then she'll wonder that some
good looking stenographer snatched away
from her the affection of which she was toe
lazy and careless to take care.
man who has ten thousand dollars
worth of bonds hires a safety deposit box
in which to keep them safe. But he will
marry a pretty, warm hearted, pleasure low
ing, young girl and after he marries her he
never says word of love to her, or shows
her any tenderness, or takes her to places of
amusement, or does anything to make her
life happy And he can't understand how
it happens that some glib talking chap, who
feeds her hungry soul on love-making, and
gives her pleasures he doesn't, steals her
heart away from him. '..
The moral of all of which is that II we
don't want our treasures to be stolen, we
must take care of them.

THE HOME OF SIMPLE SOULS-By Frederic j. Haskn

, Snanish regaIia. including a somewhat tat
tered shawl and a cheap Spanish comb which
set off a quantity of neatly-dressed black
hair This exotic appearance pleased the
public, and they gave generously to save
the babies, so that the contribution box con-
tanned very nearly $40 when policeman
came along and gazed at the photograph and
the Spanish vision in some establishment:
Then he drew nearer and gave playful
yank to the neatlydressed black hair. 1t
came off.
"Hello, john" said the policeman calmly.
81 thought that was you. Got new game,
1 see. Last time I ran you in you were
playin lame down on Forty-second street.
How long have you been here7-20 minutes? ?
Gosh $945 in 20 minutes! How the public
does love a fraud!'
Another beggar, recently arrested, has
been in the habit of earning very good liv-
ing by throwing fits. His technique is some
something like this: Choosing well-popu-
lated corner somewhere in the Brox, he fops
carefully down on the pavement, emitting a
loud groan. This act Immediately draws a
crowd, because, contrary to popular opinion,
New York pedestrians do not pass coldly and
indifferently on their way when something
unusual happens. They stop still in their
tracks and eagerly investigate it, just as
people do in smaller and presumably less
sophisticated towns.
Fake Fit Nets $500
For a few seconds, the man lies perfectly
quiet before a sympathetic audience; then
he begins to twitch convulsively. The crowd
becomes alarmed. Some suggests send
ing for a doctor. But at that, the man slow
ly RECEIVERS, opens his eyes and sits up. A
few of the bystanders press forward to ask
if they can be of help Slowly and pain
fully, they drag forth the mans sad story.
He is the father Of six children, who are
starving. He cannot get work because he,
alas, is subject to fits. He coughs grue-
somely. The crowd is touched-quite liter
ally. Someone picks up the mans dilapi-
dated hat and passes it around. When re-
turned it often contains over SIS.
Just at this point the other afternoon,
however, a fat and indignant middle-aged
lady, accompanied by a policeman, pressed
through the crowd and demanded to be
heard.
"That man is a Fraud she announced
distinctly. 81 saw him pull the same trick
day before yesterday" and she named the
time and the place. 'Maybe l oughtn't to
interfere, but 1 don't like to stand by and
see lot of kind-hearted people taken ad-
vantage off,
Thus it is plain that the New Yorker is
not the hard, 1inty-eyed, suspicious individu.
al he is represented to be throughout the
provinces. Instead he is a simple, trustft1I
soul who is easily deceived by appearances
and whose sympathy is readily aroused by
hard-luck story. Every once in awhile,
the legislature at Albany becomes much
concerned about him and promises to pass
few laws for his protection. But they
never seem to materialize. Perhaps the
assembly finds it comfortable to have such
a simple, good-natured constituency.

He Stuck to the Last"

~ Captain Dale Mabry, who with thirty
three comrades persisted in the fiery
wreck of the leviathan airship Roma,
survivor of the dread disaster says: "He
was the bravest man ever saw; he stuck to
the last
To the last! Flames were billowing all
about him, terrible thunders we're in his
ears, death swung red above and black be-
low. But the keen-vsioned pilot stood calm
ly by his wheel, self-forgetful self-sacrific-
ing, magnificently brave. HE stuck to the
last. He did his best to save u.s." No finer
epitaph was ever pronounced on deed heroic,
and assuredly none more deserved Every
heart beneath the flag whose stars en-
wrap this young soldier of the sky is lifted
up by the thought of him and is stirred, de-
spite the tears, to clearer seeing Of what
high reaches a human life is meant for!
Especially will his memory be cherished in
his native South, whose brightest traditions
he made to flame afresh. A Floridian by
birth, he was we'll known in Georgia, and
particularly in Atlanta where he spent sew
eral seasons in school some ten or twelve
years ago. In August, 1917, after distin-
Fishing himself in the officers training
camp at Fort Oglethorpe, he received his
commission, and few months later dis
patched to France, where he did valiant
service. The armistice signed, he was detail
ed to the aeronautic corps, in which he show
ed the proficiency that led to his selection as
one of the party sent to Italy to test the
Roma when she was completed, and later to
his being placed at her wheel on the fateful
flight.
Good and gallant young captain, faithful
to the fiery end his reward is as wide as the
heavens and as deathless mans love of
splendid deeds.

The Worlds Greatest Dam

The worlds greatest dam, the Sonar, is
being rushed to completion the Blue Nile
river, 1000 miles south of Khartoum, Africa,
where Lord Kitchener became famous. This
dam will bring under irrigated cultivation
100000 acres of farming land, now idle. 1t
will run a swarm of factories, mightier than
the Pyramids. The ancient way of conquer
ing territory was to enslave the inhabitants.
Modern mans greatest conquest is to harness
natures forces and free human labor. Build
ing one big dam is greater victory than
winning ten MISUNDERSTANDING Observer.

No Hurry.

The dusky minister of a certain
small parish in Alabama was walking
alone on lonely road one misty night
when he fell into a mudhole, says the
American Legion Weekly. For more
than an hour he struggled in vain to
climb up the slippery sides. At last
his cries we're heard and answered
by member of his congregation.
"Lordy, pahson," remarked the lat.
ter, peering over the side of the steep
hole, "yo-all needn't kick up sech a
noise and fuss. Yo' amt gwine to be
needed afoh Sunday and heah dis am
