ITO BE CONTINUED
WHY BACHELORS ARE BAC HEL ORS-By Dorothy Dix

, yariably audits his wifes dressmaking b1lls.
The man who achieves old bachelorhood
is of quite different callber. lie IS among
the cleverest, and most adventurous OF men
Unlike the man who is born an old bachelor'
the man who achieves single-blessedness
does not shun the thought of matrimony.
He delights in it, and plays with 1t. he
recognizes it as an ever-present danger, and
it gives to his life the same sort or aWful
zest that the sportsman feels in hunting Dig
game when he realizes that at any moment
the tables may be turned, and the pursuer
become the pursued.
He adores women's society, and is known
as a ladies' man. He is to be found at pink
teas and afternoon receptions, and invariably
adorns the opera box of the prettiest debu-
tante of the season. He Is a connOfsseur or
feminine charms, and his dictum settles the
crown of belledom among rival beauties.
Much experience in love-making has made
him an adept that causes other men, in con-
trast, to seem mere bungling amateurs. He
can gauge to q mathematical nicely just the
amount of pressure that should go into a
handclasp and the proper degree of wistful
pathos to throw into glance.
He is apparently always on the verge of
proposing yet he never proposes, and in
vain is the net of the fowler spread before
him. He is fly bird, and he always flut-
ters away at the psychological moment.
He loves women, but he loves himself bet
ter, and he has no notion of spending on the
support of wife and children the money that
makes even a moderately well-off bachelor
so comfortable. Even in his moment of dis
gust with the club chef he reflects that it is
better to endure the cooking you have, than
to fly to the housekeeping you know not of,
and so he stays on the safe side of the Rubi-
con-
Or it may. be that there was an old
mother to be supported, a widowed sister
with little children looking to him for bread.
Duty stood with flaming sword and guarded
all the primrose paths, and when the time
came when he was free to marry it was too
late. Love had passed him by. Old bache-
lorhood had been thruc. upon him.

But what ails vespa? She has dropped
her booty, braced all six legs, and is stag
gering drunkeny about, her feelers wig-wag
ging frantca1ly for help. She clutches at
her collar with both forepaws. "Oh, my
neck! My neck!" walls her gesture, palmer
than words. Her striped body expands in
great signs to double it's usual length. Then
her face droops, she shudders and her wings
hang limp. When I lean down to her she
is dead, and her slim, gray, wrinkled neck
has minute dark puncture in the exact CEN
ter of it, Rather scientific stroke for the
"peaceful' bee! And why should she waste
her life on that single stab? Was it mere
vindictiveness? Or-but there's no behave
lin sticking in It,
And this bee was three-stabber, at least
Baked of her wasp, she chooses my neck
next to vent her spite on--twice, before I
can slap her. Her wings are stilled as she
lands beside the wasp but-she has only

HOW PROGRESS COMES
Bv H. AddingtOn Bruce

TT UMAN progress, and more particular
II ly the means whereby world peace
u II may be attained, was the subject OF
the meeting. One speaker voiced view
which, it is to be feared is widely entertain
ed if not always so frankly stated.
II am thoroughgoing materialist far
as world peace is concerned,' was T his
declaration. Il do not believe that peace
will ever be won through any idealistic pro-
gram through sentiment and the exercise OF
collective will to peace.
peace, world peace, can become an &C
tualty only when, through invention and
scientific discovery, the material needs of
the world are better met and safeguarded
than at present.
when, for example, human ingenuity as
shown in mastery of the sea and air for
purposes of international warfare is matched
by ingenuity enabling us similarly to master
insect pests menacing the worlds food sup
ply, we may begin to expect world peace.
That, as l see it, is the one hopeful way to
peace.
mot by sentiment not by dealistic urging
of the blessings of peace, but by removal of
the material causes of discord is peace to be
gained"
But would removal of the material
causes of discord" suffice to bring about
peace? Are racial animosities, national am
billions and jealouses rooted solely in vary
ing competitive instinct which of itself, I'M
less guided and controlled by sentiment,
makes directly for conflict and war?
To ask such questions is to indicate their
answers. Undeniably it would contribute to
world peace if the inventive mind of man
were indeed to turn more conspicuously from
destructive to constructive activities Yet
what can effect that turning other than a
change in the attitude of man to man? And
can such a change be wrought by anything
except an insistent preaching of idealistic
doctrine?
It cannot be too strongly emphasized that
| but for such doctrine and it's influence over
human behavior the world could not boast
| even the degree of progress it now manifests
| The nations still all too ready to make
war against one another would not even be
in existence but for the power of ideals. The
earth would be peopled it once was by
primitves and pre-primitives, uncouth saw
world with which they commended.
What was the essential difference mark
ing them off from that brute world? Ger
tainly it was not material superiority. The
thing that counted that enabled them to
evolve through clans and tribes into nations
was their capacity for ideas and for the ac-
ceptance of ideals.
And always, it must be insisted, the con-
| tinuanceI of human progress will depend on
a growing idealism. Once the supreme i'm
portance of the ideal is generally denied OF
Irepudiated, that day mankind will begin to
revert to the darkness and the chaos of the
long ago, when life for one anG all was hard
ly worth the living.
Nobody would willingly see such rever-
sion. Then let us have DONE the sooner the
better, with belttling of idealism and ideal
ists Such belittlng is dangerous business.

It is one of life's little ironies that, so far
as men are concerned the world advocates
matrimony and puts a premium upon
celibacy. An unmarried man is a perpetual
storm center of interest to every woman IN
the community in which he lives. AS soon
as he is married none are so poor as to do
him reverence--not even his own wife. AND
yet we wonder that wedding rings are az
discount
Now, there are three classes of unmarried
men. There are men who are born old
bachelors, men who achieve old bachelor
hood, and men who have old bachelorhood
thrust upon them.
The man who is born an old bachelor de
serves no more credit for what is freak OF
nature than the man who is born dumb de-
serves credit for not talking too much. He
can't help it. He made that way
In his cradle he evinces a distaste for
feminine society. He bites, and kicks and
screams at his nurse, and while still In pima
fores he displays contempt for the feminine
intellect, and refuses to be controlled by
his mother.
A little later, at school, he eats his red
apple instead of presenting it to some little
girl with pigtail, and he buys marbles with
his pennies instead of investing them lin
chewing gum for the behoof of Juvenile
flame.
He is also unlike other boys in that he is
possessed of spirit of neatness and order,
and Keeps his pocket handkerChiefs in order
ly piles in his bureau drawers, in place of
using them for kite tails.
AS young man, he views every girN with
suspicion, as having designs of marrying him
against his will, and while other youths are
raving over Maud's eyes he is figuring up
how much 1t costs to pay modern mundane
angels dressmaking bills.
Occasionally the born bachelor gets mar
ried-mistakes will happen-but no matter
how many times he is dragged to the altar he
remains a bachelor still. 1t is impossible to
domesticate him, and he never becomes
broken to driving in double harness.
He is sort of husband who is always crit
cal and captious, who looks under the bed,
and on the mantel shelf for dust, and who in

THE COMMON LOT
BY DR.. Frank Crane

One of the most grimly tragic stories
among the recent news is that of Mrs. Gallo.
1t is thus told in the daily press:
Eighteen years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Gallo
made the journey from mid-Europe to mid
merica without serious accident. Last
Monday they essayed the trip from the Penn
sylvania Station to the Cunard office in quest
of tickets for the return voyage to Czecho-
Slovakia. BY accident the door of subway
train closed between them. Neither knew
much English; both were frightened; each
Isearched futileiy and frantcaly through un-
known streets for the other. Mrs. Gallo col
lapsed under the strain of fear and anxiety,
was taken to Bellevue Hospital on Monday
afternoon, and died there on Tuesday morn
ing, still frightened and alone, little before
the sailing of the ship on which they had
planned to take passage. Mr.. Gallo found
her, dressed in her holiday costume, in the
City Morgue."
No one can read this without feeling the
shadow of fate. The poor woman stepped
| aside from her path in the jungle and the
wolves devoured her.
Yet it may not be without benefit If we
reflect that hers is the common lot.
Circumstances may differ, but to every one
OF us, at a certain time written in the Book
of Fate, the door will be shut. To one it
may be an accident, such as a fall or STUN
bling. To another it may be pneumonia or
cancer, or a fever, or even senility. But to
every one OIL US, III some IOTIH, III is DOunu 10
come.
| Every intelligent person, while be should
not dwell upon death, ought to at least take
| it into consideration, for it is one Of the few
things that is absolutely certain
! The very earth on which we live Is hung
upon nothing and sails through empty space
| like bubble in the wind.
The earthquake or the tidal wave-against
| these there is insurance.
Victor Hugo said in his shaiterng way:
"Nous sommes tous eondamnes'-we are all
condemned criminals. Zach of us is waiting
his turn to go into the death house.
: Sanely considered, this does not prove the
| case of pessimism nor make the high gods
malicious. For those qualities that brighten
| life, such love and faith and hope, are not
i given merely to mock us. They are the shine
of spirits passing this way. They are har-
| bingers of a greater destiny. They are invis-
| IDLE proofs that we spirits are greater than
and above all things and all events.
Our morality and our belief in goodness
/ are not drawn from the order of nature. They
are protest against it, and the expression of
our innate conviction that We are captive
kings, not bounden slaves. SO we fare forth
when our time shall come.
Still nursing the rrfconquerable hope,
| Still clutching the inviolabIe shade.

MY FAVORITE STORIES
Rv Irwin Cobb

Montague Glass some time ago beat me to
it by giving publicity to a story which Jimmie
Montague, the columnist-poet, tells. Jimmie
who for a newspaper man is fairly truthful,
declares that the thing really happened Out
in Oregon where he was reared.
A prominent citizen of the town was an ar
dent believer in the, then, new cult of mental
healing. Wherever possible this gentle
man, with the zeal of devotee, preached his
doctrine. One day on the main street re
hailed an impressionable youth from the
country.
Billy" he said, Flows your daddy"
oh" said the youth, paws mighty bad
off. He's been porely all spring. Now he's
down flat in bed and ailin' Study. We're
feared paws powerful sick. He's feared too"
Nonsense" snorted the older man. Your
father isn't sick-he only thinks he's sick.
Tell him I said so'
Eyes sir, I will"
fortnight later the same pair met again
in the same place.
Billy said the citizen cheerily, "How's
your father now"
The youngster heaved deep sigh:
He thinks he's dead"
