In this story Of masculine
wealth. amazed by woman's un-
reasonable nature. you have an
answer to the questions, "Is mar.
riage q success ?" and "Is mar.
riage necessary"
One hundred thousand years
ago women were proving uurea-
sonable with cave men as they
now. prove unreasonable with au-
tomobile men. The children that
come "hang on like q leech" to
the mothers, and II the mothers
did not do the same with the
fathers, the children would have
a poor chance.
Marriage is no great success

Trotxky, Of Russia, says: "The
League Of Nations is q painted

The Tartars, ferocious fighting
hordes that once ruled Russia
and tarrorized all western Europe,
are dying of famine. Seven out
of eight will die and that will
close one chapter.
Dreadful, savage creatures
with high cheekbones. the Tar
tars came marauding, burning,
and numbering from the East to-
ward the West, driving their cat
tie with them. When they,
stopped to eat they would cut q
piece Of flesh from the living
animal, eat it, and continue driv-
ing the animal on with them
until it could go no farther.
Tney have improved slightly, but
their disappearance will be no

United States warships that
cost hundreds Of millions will be
scrapped with ceremony. Henry
Ford, who knows about machinery,
says:
"Scrapping those warships Is
like throwing out dishwater after
you have washed the dishes. Sub
marines and flying machines have
made warships useless; throwing
them out means as little as throw
ing out dishwater that has done
les duty"
II the ships are worth any
thing it is a crime to scrap them.
II they are. as Ford says. "onlv
dishwater being thrown out"
there is no use Of fussy cere-
mony. It's like retiring a han
som cab to make room for taxi.
The theory that one nation can
create or improve civilization by
imposing its will on other ma
tions is exploded by conditions in
Abyssinia. British Investigators
find, in the capital Of that "self-
determined" nation. that more
than half the population are
slaves.
