HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl
of twenty-five years. I. have been
going with a young man Tor nearly
three years. I think the world OF him
altho he does not show his love- !
heard he said he loved me very much
and he said he was going to marry me.
am a girl that likes a caresss once
in a while. When I ask him for a
goodnight kiss he tells me to get over
that stuff because only kids do that
He says there is lot of time when
we are married.
He is a man of twenty-seven years
He said he would have to wait nine
years before he could marry because
he didn't have enough money. Would
you advise me to get married without
money if he should ask me? He had
enough money to buy a sedan auto
mobile.
I haven't seen him for a month.
went to another town to work two
weeks. When L called him up he
said the more I called him up and
wrote to him, the longer he would stay
away
I don't understand him. Please ad-
MELON CHOLY.
You have been running after the
young man and have lost your chance
of making him love you by taking the
initiative. 1t was not correct for you
to ask him to kiss you goodnight or
to telephone him and write when he
did not request you to do so. Do not
try to see him again. If he asks to see
you it is different and it would be all
right to let him come.
There is a great chance that the
friend who told you that he loved you
and wanted to marry you misrepre-
scented. Do not believe everything
you hear
In regard to marrying him, If he
should ask you. it would probably
mean he felt sufficiently able to sup
port you Judge for yourself whether
you could live on his income.

NO.
Why are men who are so clever
about other things, stupid about love :?
Why do men give so much time and
thought to making their business a
success, and none at all to making
their marriage a success?
Why do men make such a pro-
found study of the psychology of the
other men with whom they must deal,
yet never think it worth while to at
tempt to find out what their wives
are thinking and feeling, or how they
are reacting to any given situation 2
Why do intelligent men, good men.
Kind, weH-meaning men, men who
really love their wives, go laundering
along thru forty or fifty years of mar
ried life, brea king their wives hearts,
ana turning matrimony into an arid
desert, when they could make it bios
som like the rose if only they would
say few kind words now and then, or
use a little tact and diplomacy in
dealing with the women to whom they
are married? -
Nobody knows, least of all do the
men themselves know. The way of a
snake on a rock, and q man with a
maid are set down in Holy Writ as
Two or the unfathomable mysteries
OF the world, but they are easy riddles
TO read compared to the attitude of
husbands toward wives. Perhaps that
is the problem that the Sphinx broods
T.,
are curved in a smile half plying,
half sardonic.
For the curious part of the matter
IS this, that good husbands are as
rare as black diamonds, yet practical
cally every man when he marries in
tends to be a jewel of a husband. and,
as a general thing, he never finds out
that he fails to be anything but pinch
beck, and he never dreams that his
wife is not perfectly satisfied with
him, and that she doesn't thank the
Lord on her Bonded knees for him
done his full duty when he feeds her
and clothes her, and he is blissfully
unaware that he has rubbed all of the
gilt off of her romance, and put his
big hulking foot thru all her girlish
dreams of what married life with
the man she loved would be.
For men don't waste their time in
studying women, or trying to see life
from the feminine point of view. Con-
sequently. they never find out that lit
tie things are big things to women,
and that a woman's happiness often
depends on trifles.
AS an interesting Illustration of
this, I submit the case of a young
woman I know whose whole life is
being ruined by her husbands obtuse-
ness. His. also. because he cannot

WHAT WAGES ARE REASONABLE?

Angered by the railroad labor
boards acceptance of evidence from
public organizations in connection
with the wage controversy. B. NJ. Jew
ell, leader of the railroad workers.
boIted the hearing with representa-
tives of 100000 rail employees. The
action. he explains. was protest
against the policy of the board which
year ago admitted, as pertinent,
evidence on the railroads ability to
pay certain wages, and which now ad-
mits evidence on the shippers ability
to pay certain rates.
Congress established the labor
board to fix just and reasonable
authority to listen to evidence and to
make its decisions on evidence which
has nothing to do with what are Just
and reasonable wages" On this at
titude of Mr.. Jewell the Chicago Tri-
bune comments as follows:
Such an argument almost leaves us
grasping. What does the man mean =?
What are Just and reasonable
by what standard? Any disintereSted
judge or observer or arbitrator in the
world, we believe. would declare that
justice and reason in the fixing of
wages must of necessity take into con-
sideration the ability of the employer
TO pay as weA as the capacity of a
worker to earn. 1t should be obvious
that a railroad with a total income
OF S1.000,00O a month cannot pay out
100000 for supplies and 100000 for
wages and continue in business. 1t
must provide something on invest
ment- Even the worker would admit
that If he had bought a little stock
with some of his savings.
Clearly the only way in which
wages could be maintained would be
to increase income by increasing rates.
So justice and reason must admit evil
dence on rates, despite the Jewell con-
tention- But higher rates may cut off
business and reduce total income. So
Justice and reason must admit evil
dence on the ability OF shippers to
pay.
What, then. is a "just and reason
able wage"2 1t must be a wage
which takes into consideration both
the ability of the railroad to nav and
the ability OF the worker to earn
Justice and reason must seek an
equitable division OF whatever moneys
are available. More than that they
cannot hope to do.
There are two ends to the scale of
Justice When one goes down the
other must go up. Mr.. Jewell iC-
norss the balance. He puts an arbi-
trary contention into one pan, and
apparently expects some astral in
fiuence to. keep il level despite the
facts weighing against it. 1t doesn't
work that way. If "tust and rea-
sonable" wage is really what he wants
the most simple reasoning would re-
quire exactly the information which
he refuses to accept without such
information no wage decision can be
anything but arbitrary, whether pay
be cut in half or doubled

THE new RONTs BILL

A bonus bill, in a new form, has
been offered in the senate. 1t pro-
vides for payment-half cash and
half in certificates OF Indebtedness.
1t makes no provision for raising the
necessary money, and therefore may
prove no less Objectionable to the
president than other plans that have
been under consideration.
Cutting the amount of certificates
in two. only lessons but does not meet
Mr. Harding's objections. The certif-
icates would bear Il per cent inter-
est. with no provision for marketing
them. If they be made negotiable
the most of them probably would be
sold to Spectators at a discount.
A statement compiled by the gov
eminent authorities. throws much
light upon the governments attitude
toward its defenders. The figures
are brought up to April I. and show
that. total of $1.9s6,26o.634 has
been appropriated for the welfare OF
soldiers and sailors of the late war,
in such items as family allowances.
insurance. hospitals. vocational train
ing. etc. The appropriat ions for the
fiscal year 1923 are s4O6.03s,S42 for
these purposes Thus the United
States is e&pending more than $1,000
600 a day for the welfare Of the
boys"
The number of former service men
receiving vocational training is 1Os.-
200. The average received per month
by each man is Sis. This includes
f-f, - e
In addition, the government supplies
the men with books. tools medical
care. transportation, tuition in schools,
etc.
Other figures on wounded and dis
abled men are as follows: Approx
mately 10000 are now in hospitals
The total number wounded is EOS, 526.
The total number discharged for dis
ability is 251.e1s- The government is
paying compensation on 5O,42O death
claims and 1868 disability cases.
The amount paid in March for this
compensation was $1O,s4O,000. The
government is paying insurance on
134.550 death claims and 6,299 dis
ability claims. The amount paid in
war risk term insurance in March was
sS,454.O6e.17. The committed value
of war risk term insurance allowed
by the government is $685. $685.
$3.50.
Every dollar estimated for by the
executive departments has been ap-
propriated. In no other branch of
governmental activity is this the case.
1t is only in dealing with former serv-
ice men that congress has met the
estimates without cutting off a single
dollar.

THE CALICO MoMEN

L have an idea that if Nancy Hanks,
the mother of Lincoln. were alive and
should come into the ordinary modern
store, she wouldn't get the best of at
tention.
The uncouth appearance and per-
maps bent figure might cause some
clerks to smile and to render only a
passing service, as contrasted with the
service rendered some fashionable and
snowy woman.
For what clerk could guess that
here was the mother of the greatest
figure of modern times? But how
much it would mean to wait upon
such a one.
There is something very beautifully
noble about the consideration shown
to the bent, frail, calico women of
the world.
What a plain, simple woman
Madame Currie is. Such a fine, won
derfM face. Yet no one would sus-
pect her to be one of the greatest
scientists in the world just to meet her
on the street.
The mothers of great men-of the
scientists, discoveries. mercha nts,
statesmen-are, as a class plain and
simple folk with wonderful souls.
If you are clerk in a store, bear
this in mind You may be rendering
service to one of the greatest of the
earth. Treat the unpretentious ones
with consideration, graciousness and
kindness
often encounter-after the bust
ness day is over-the woman who
cleans my offices and scrubs the floors.
She is a very wonderful woman to me.
She has five children and have never
heard her complain and I have never
met her but what her face has been
wreathed in smiles Perhaps one of
her little ones shall rise to leadership
= Il 20
shame those who once hired her for
so mental labor at such small pay.
The calico womenl I never see the
type but what I think of my own
mother-who dressed so plainly. but
whose heart was gold of the finest
clear thru. her soul always conscious
of the needs of other people.
How very wonderful is consideration
and kindness, anyWay-to whomever
it is rendered.
