Leaders OF the coal miners organ
ization still are talking about precipi-
tatinE the greatest strike the country
ever has known The greatest strike
ever known is almost certain TO be
followed by the most crushing defeat
of the strikers ever known. If the
miners do not know this they are un-
fortunate. They may tie up a large
part of the country's business and
cause the loss of many millions Of dol
lars to the nations industries, but
they cannot win the strike. II organ
lied labor ever had the power to rule
the nation it has lost it. The public
has rebeIed and the government has
learned it's lesson as a result Of the
passage of the Adamson law. The en-
actment of that law, under duress,
was a grave mistake. The error is
being repaired and VIII not be re-
peated.

me, as you see it. what have 1 done.
or what should I have done.
Since it has been left to us, we
should say A. T. RS response to F.
P. AS greeting was too restrained.
What he should have done was follow
F. P. A. into the hall to tell him his
column is the only thing he takes the
paper for. That's what a columnist
expects; if he doesn't get it he is dis
appointed. But, at that, A T. r.
achieved what seems to US to have
been flattering recognition. Last year
We attended a dinner of the literati in
New York at which F. P. A sat at an
adjoining table. He never so much as
glanced in our direction.
However. since neither knew the
other was there. the rebuff, doubtless,
was unintentional.
The New York editorial writers also
are burbling upon the subject of the
Hon. Ruths honorarium. Meanwhile,
we renew our offer to speculate on
probability that the Babes salary and
perquisites fall short of $4,000, the
contract to which the Babe affixed his
signature to be considered as the con-
elusive document in the case.
Probably we are unduly exercised
in the matter, but our meter is the
cheap play to the credulity of the fat
head always incites us to phraseolog-
ical or physical violence.
We were disappointed that Bert
Williams got no more space in the pa
pers. but likely we expected too much.
williams merely did something quite
worth while, and did it very modest
ly and very well indeed. The news
papers can't pay much attention to
that sort of thing; they'd lose their
readers If they did.
A good camel. we learn from COM

we are concerned it can keep on going.
with your wife and respect her opinion
above that of your sisters, you will be
far happier and will not regret your
choice of a mate. 1t means SO much
to have a pretty wife who is good
cook and housekeeper and a styllsh
dresser. If you try harder I believe
you will find you and your wife have
many interests in common and can be
a very happy couple.

Dorothy Dir Talks
What Shall She Dol.
BY DOROTHY DIX
Woraa,a highest Pa1d WSaaz WEltsr.

What Shall She Dol.
Never a week that rolls around tina;
do not get a tear-sodden letter in
which some middle-aged woman tells
me that her husband is tired of her
and wants to be rid CT her. and asks
me what shall she do.
Always the story is the same. The
woman writes that she and her hus-
band married when they were young
and poor; that she sIaved and saved
to help him get along, and that they
were happy for a good many years.
Then the husband began to philander
around. and neglect her and his home.
There wasian affair with some pretty,
young girl. She forgave him that, and
he was sorry, and it was like old times
for a while.
Then some other woman, young and
stunning looking came into his life,
slim. impudent-faced thing, but he is
infatuated with her. and he tells his
wife frankly that he doesn't love her
any more; that she is old and fat, and
ugly, and that he is tired of her, and
that the only thing on earth that she
can do to please him is to get a di-
vorce.
And the woman asks piteously. what
shall she do?
I think there is no other story on
has given the best years of her life to
a man, and who, when he wearies of
her, is turned out like a worn-out old
horse to shift for herself. and live or
die, as it chances. For her tragedy is
not only the tragedy of a broken heart
and the loss of the man who has been
all in all to her. it is the tragedy of
financial ruin. the loss of the support
to which she is entitled.
The woman has invested the labor
nf 6nY- in he ha q
worked as hard as he has, but the re-
suit of her toll has gone to him. He
owns the dollars and cents she has
saved by walking to save carfare, by
pairing the potatoes a little thinner.
by dressing shabby and doing without
the million little things that women
crave He owns the house that her
hands have helped earn. and that is
as dear to her as a part of her own
life
To take her home away from such
a woman is to tear her very soul out
of it's body. To throw her out in the
world to make a living is like casting
a child out into a jungle in the night.
faint with terror. She would not know
which way to turn. She is as ignor-
ant as a babe of commercial usages,
and the gainful professions that,
younger. women follow. She could
not even be a servant, for the woman
who has been mistress of her own
house finds it hard to adapt herself
to another womans whims
And yet this woman's husband is
trying to get rid of her, and she asks
what shall she do? There are those
who would tell her to wait patiently
and her husband, in the end. will come
back to her faithful love after he has
tired of lighter loves. I do not be-
lieve that is true. I am not one of the
optimists who hold that there is any
resurrection of affection I think that
a dead love is the deadest of all things
and that when a fire has burned itself
out there is no rekindling OF the gray
ashes.

Iron and steel prices are back to
about the level of December. 1915,
according to the weekly market COM
posite of fourteen iron and steel prod
ucts, compiled by the Iron Trade Re
view. Clearly. it says. this represents
q tremendous readjustment. The
market composite shows that the high
point of the upward movement of
prices was reached in August, 1919,
and the figure then stoOd at $ss,6s.
The decline frcm the crest of the mar
ket to the figure of s32.s6 for the
week of February 2S, accordingly,
amounts to s56.sS per ton or approx
imately 6s per cent. In other words
the market today is on little more
than one-third basis compared with
the peak. 1t is shown that the pre-
war price, for all the year 1913, was
but 1854 below the level of the last
week in February of this year.
This difference and more is account
ed for by the higher freight rates.

Exporting ships played large part
in the activities of Engiand's ship
yards last year, according to The Ma

of the tonnage constructed was for
foreign owners. Germany's figure
compares favorably with her pre-war
construction and included 40 vessels
between 1000 and 1000 tons, Is be-
tween 1000 and 10000, and one
around 1900 tons. while England
can build ships and sell them it seems
that this country can not sell those
already built. Does the fault lie in
our ships or our salesmanship?
