Eroria's highest Paid Woman yVEats~.

a woman hires a servant to do her
homework, and then pays out good
money taking a series of physical Gull
ture exercises in which she goes thru
the exact motions that she would in
making beds. and sweeping floors, and
scrubbing up the bathroom.
A woman will be an invalid for
years. and impoverish her family with
ner doctors and druggists bills, and
sanatoriums, and be niraculously
cured by her husbands dying, and
having the support of her children
thrown upon her
There is nothing in the world that
a woman really enjoys as much as a
major surgical operation, and the
privilege it gives her of talking about
it the balance of her life.
Every woman is bored to tears
when she has SO listen 70 another
woman talk about her children, but
she never suspects that a waiting
world isn't sitting UP goggle-eyed with
impotence TO hear every detail about
her own offspring
No matter how learned a woman
is, nor what success she achieves in
her chosen profession, she would
rather be complimented on her looks'
than on her brains.
A woman who is so frail she cannot
walk a mile on the street can walk
ten miles in search of a bargain
Every woman believes that she is a
great economist, and wonders how her
before she took charge of his pocket
book she also believes that she eff
fects a great saving when she spendS
so cents carfare and a half days
time in getting a yard of silk cents
cheaper in one store than another
Every woman expects to make mat
rirlony her life work. yet she seldom
takes the trouble TO fit herself for 1t,
and learn how to cook, and sew, and
handle money, tho on her skill in
these matters depends whether she
makes marriage a success or failure.
A~woman catches her. husband by
means of her good looks, and sweet
disposition, and soft talk, yet nine
women out of ten throw away their
bait as soon as they are married, and
never think it worth while either TO
wear their good clothes or their com
pany manners at home.
Women are of Trailer physique than
men, yet many little wife who does
MT weigh a hundred pounds has six
foot husband scared stiff of her. One
Sunday afternoons wrestling with en-
tertaining the children, and caring
for a teething baby. will wear an able
bodied man to a fragile, but a frail lit
tie woman stands up under the strain
year after year without turning Il
hair
Nobody can tell in advance what
sort of a wife a gR'l will make. The
poor girl is liable to turn into n
spender, the domestic girl to strike
and refuse to enter the kitchen, while
the rich girl may become n model of
thrift, and the butterfly girl rolls up
her sleeves and goes to work.
No man can hope to solve the nys-
terry of a woman, but it piques his
curiosity. and he marries her to have
a go at it.

Mayoralty Campaign There One of
yTarmest in Many Years.
Kansas City. April municipal
elections We're held today in Kansas
City, ST. Joseph, Springfield, Joplin
and some of the smaller cities of Mis-
souri,.
Political observers characterized
the mayoralty campaign in Kansas
City as the warmest in the state in
many years. Features of the cam
paigns were the addresses of Gov
Arthur NJ. Hyde, in support of Mat
thew Foster, Republican candidate for
mayor, and Senator James A. Reed,
IN support of Frank, Cromwell, the
Democratic candidate. Senator Reed
was at one time mayor of Kansas City
Governor Hyde's speeches were in
defense of the Republican police COM
mission, members of which are ap-
pointees of the governor.
Late today, with both Republican
and Democratic headquarters claim
ing lands.ides, it was indicated that
one of the heaviest votes in Kansas
City's history had been cast.

ISSUES IN THE COAL STRIKE.

I The United Mine Workers of Amer
lea have instituted a strike in both the
anthracite and bituminous coal mines
There are approximately 100000
union bituminous coal mine workers
and $50. 900 anthracite workers. Pres
ident Lewis claims that as many as
100000 non-union miners Will support
the strike Following is believed TO
be a fair statement OF the matters at
issue;
The bituminous coal miners de-
mand the maintenance Of the present
scale. made in 1920. for which the
basic wage is $3.50 a day for common
labor. They demand n five-day week
with a basic six-hour day and punitive
overtime pay
Bituminous coal operators seek to
have wages reduced in order. they
say. 10 decrease the cost OF produc-
ton and bring down the mine price
of coal They reject the five-day
week and six-hour day as uneconomic,
and seek TO retain the present eight
hour day. They desire the abolition
OF the check-off by which they are
compelled to collect union dues and
assessments.
Anthracite miners demand an in
crease of 20 per cent in the contract
rate and 81 a day in the rate for day
labor. They demand other changes
in rates and working rules.
Anthracite operators insist wages
must come down in conformity with
wages in other industries, in order
that the cost of coal at the mines may
be reduced.
Bituminous coal miner workers
have refused to negotiate with oper-
ators except for the industry as
whole. Operators generally are OPP
posed to national wage agreements,
preferring local settlements.
Bituminous coal operators deny
that they have refused to meet repre-
sentatives of the miners union in
wage conferences, as has been
charged. The United Mine Workers.
they say. have insisted that there shall
be a four-state joint conference. which
shall agree on a wage contract the ef-
feet OF which would be to bind all
bituminous coal-producing fields. The
parties to a four-state conference
WQu44 De representatives OF the lnQuS-
try in Illinois. Indiana. Ohio and
western Pennsylvania. These four
states are known as the central COM
petitive field.
Two groups in this field-western
Pennsylvania and southern Ohio
have refused to enter a joint confer
ence, Nlt have expressed Willingness
to meet the miners in separate state
conferences. They have proposed wage
reductions OF 80 per cent and more
and the elimination OF the check-off.
Illinois and Indiana operators
agreed to enter joint conference, al
tho the Indiana producers said that
in view of the miners wage demands
they could see little use in negotiating
The position of the operators who
oppose the joint conference is that
they are unwilling to surrender the
natural advantages of their districts
which. they anege. are in the interest
of the public, the miners and the op-
orators.

ON SECOND THOUGHT
BY JAY z. HOUSE
tFrom Philadelphia Public Ledger.)

Reports from Washington are that
Senator Hiram johnson is hull down
and sinking. 1t may be that the plight
of this cratic mariner is, for the mo-
ment, exaggerated, but that he. will
ultimately disappea beneath the sur
face of the waves is inevitable. Few
Self-appointed saviors of the country
survive ten years of public life; many
of them disappear IN five. A great
majority are never heard from after
the collapse of the movement in which
they had their genesis.
Any man who can make eloquent
appeal to the emotions and prejudices
of the crowd can attach to himself a
following, but his following invariably
turns to and kicks him full of large
round holes. This democracy of ours
has curious reactions to those who
profess to serve it. Its permanent
heroes are nearly always hard-boded.
The man who pretends an unselfish
devotion to the public veal ultimate
" comes under its suspicion. The
man who predicates a public career
on his own goodness is eventually
laughed off the job.
That's one trouble with Mr.. Bryan:
he's too good. Bryan, with his in
domitable energy and meilifluous
of the fantastic follies to which his
mind committed him. But the people
will not vote for a truly good man in
numbers sufficient to elect him to Of
flee.
The average man-and this goes for
the women, too-resents a good many
things, but the thing he resents most
is the appearance of superlative good
ness in another man.
And that naturally brings to mind
the late Mr.. Darwin and the fiction
that has grown up about his Well
known theory The fact is. Darwin
didn't say it, nor anything like it.
