Two-Thirds Are Married.

Notwithstanding the II. c. Of L.
nearly two-thirds of the population Of
the United States. from fifteen years

all you read about the prevalence OF
the divorce evil, the census bureau
says there are only about one-half mil
lion divorced persons in the country,
Campers Weekly says. Maybe they
don't stay that way. Mississippi and
Arkansas have the largest proportion
of married men, CPS, and Nevada the
smallest. 45.9. II seems strange that
in the western states the proportion OF
married men is small and Of married
women Is large. The explanation is

CHARM IN WOMAN
Something Average Person Finds
II Hard to Define.
Secret of Attraction Is a Riddle un-
solved Apparently Since the
Creation Of the World.

The secret of the attraction or some
women for men has been sought for
countless ages. The riddle is us old us
the Sphinx and as unsOlvable.
History has been made, wars won
and lost, noble deeds performed, ana
crimes committed all for the love OF
woman.
What is the secret of the attractions
Beauty is the first thing that springs
TO mind. Yet IL needs but little reiiec-
ton To show that beauty is often the
last asset Of the fascinating woman al
whose shrine is daily offered mascu-
line worship. Brains, clevernesS'
beauty, ready wit, a musical voice
may be possessed in bulk or alone by Il
woman, and yet she may leave men
cold.
Natures law Of compensation is inn
mutable and never more clearly shows
man i'm feminine attraction. How rare
ly is statuesque beauty accompanied
hy the charm and fascination that at
tracts. A woman may possess the
beauty of Venus, and cause no mascu-
line pulse TO beat the faster. Yet her
almost ugly sister, irregular of fea-
ture and without physical charm may
he never without q man to pay her
court.
Strangely enough, il is woman her
self who lays most stress on beauty.
Rarely will she admit beauty in an
other woman. "She is very attractive,
she is fascinating, she has charm, but
she is not really good looking, my
dear" they will say. not realizing that
they are according the highest need
of praise.
Beauty is an accident, but charm and
fascination are either beauty from
within or else they come from con
scious creation.
For it is possible for some women
to cultivate attraction. 1t is the KIND
that can be analyzed and defined in
words, and it sometimes accompanies
and is sometimes apart from, the indie
Unable fascination known, for want OF
Il better word, as charm.
Who has not seen the ordinary, ap-
parently unattractiye woman change
under the stimulus Of animationf Her
face lights up, her eyes sparkle, her
laugh becomes mischievOus-she be
comes more beautiful than perfect
beauty. Sometimes it is n mere inilec-
ton Of voice, the allurement Of a wide
mouth tip-tilted in infectious laughter
human sympathy in a pair Of ordinary
eyes. Tho play of a hand, the turn OF
an ankle the unruly klnk Of curly hair
each has in turn served 90 bind with
unbreakable letters masculine adora-
ton which pale and perfect beauty has
left cold.
The French have happily descrip
tive term for this type of Irregular fas
cination which holds men in thrall-
les jolies ladies. Like the women II
describes. it is intrigung-"thep pretty
uglies"-and il is the nearest possible
definition Of the elusive attraction
which so many plain women possess
an attraction which leaves their more
beautiful sisters envious and unsatis
fied.-Mula MacMahon, in the Cont
mental Edition of the London Mall.

YOUTH LIVES ALONE
ON SOUTH SEA ISLE

1.-The Island of Regeneration"
Vitagraph production featuring An
tonic Moreno, which will be shown
at the Dudley Opera House Tues
day goes to show that the teaching of
childhood remains with us longest,
ard a change of environment does
not drive early impressions from the
mind as result of shipwreck. John
Charnock and his mother were cast
on a lonely South Sea Isle when the
boy was only six. The mother soon
died of exposure, and the boy, sub
sisting on the natural foods of the
place, grew to manhood half savage
The catsaway lost power of speech
and was nearly ignorant of the Ian
guage of his fathers. But one thing
remained in his mind. All through the
years he remembered the prayer that
he had learned at his mothers knee
and never forget to repeat each night
"Now ! lay me" before going to
sleep. That childhood habit was the
sole remaining characteristic Of his
prior connection with civilization. His
reclamation by the beautiful girl who
was cast onto the same island after
he had grown to manhood creates ex-
traordinary interest.

novel on which the play is based

All sorts of devices have been re-
sorted TO by the party leaders to
weaken the strength of the bloc, ,
said Senator George w. Norris.
They pick them off singly or IN
groups, by trading support on pet
measures or otherwise piacating
them.
The talk that the bloc, as such,
will form a third party is nonsense.
Really, there is not any bloc.
Voting Lines Shift.
THE lines change and shift on
every measure The real resentment
and hostility has been created among
the farmers by the attempts of the
administration to sidetrack and de-
feat legislation designed to give the
farmer the same degree of assistance
given other industries. What that
may result in no one can foretell."
Action by the agricultural confer
erce, called by President Harding. in
adopting a resolution commencing
and approving" the work of the bloc
das distinct shock to administra-
ton leaders.
lnasmueh as the president, in his
opening address to the conference,
deviated from his set speech to take
q slap at the bloc, it would appear
TO indicate rather definitely the way
the wind is blowing.
Carefully watching for signs of di-
vision in the G. o. p. because of bloc
activities are Senators w. f. Borah
and Hiram johnson. Both are much
more ready to forecast the birth of a
third party than any member of
the agricultural bloc. '
Whether the third party will come,
however, as a result of division over
agricultural questions, or over the
bonus or over the nations foreign
policy, or otherwise, they are not
ready to predict.
There is no. Doubt Borah de-
clared, that there is deep and wide
spread dissatisfaction with both old
PARTIES We are in much the same
situation as existed in 1852.
Nobody knows just when or
where a part is born There are

But we do know something of the

born. And, in the present situation
in this country, the appearance of
