Dorothy Dix s Talks
By DOROTHY DIX The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer INSURING MATRIMONY

 I you must undergo a thorough ex- i animation by competent medical men l who must attest that you have no l disease. If you have tuberculosis or 1 cancer. you can get no insurance. If 1 you wish to insure your house, that l also is examined by experts and you 1 can get no insurance if it is inn l properly wired or you carry inflam- mable material in it or if in any way
 it is not good risk.
 Doubtless, before a marriage insur- ance policy is written, the company l will investigate the fitness of the be protected against the chances of 1 matrimonial disaster. Cold statis- ticians will have figured out the | chances of happiness of the very young who rush into matrimony and ] of foolish boys who espouse women older than themselves, and of senile rich men who believe that girls young enough to be their granddaughters
 love them for themselves alone. Also, there will be scientific data showing the least amount of money upon which a couple can safely marry. and the effect of in-laws upon the di- vorce question. Then a psychologists will come in. and estimate the chance of a marriage being a success in which two nervous, irritable, high tempered people undertake to live un- 1 der the same roof, or how long a man who loves to eat will stand a woman
 who is poor cook, or the likelihood of a lady butterfly, who is married to , a grub, flying off with some other fiitterer who comes her way. And who would be bold enough te ! marry after they have been turned down by an insurance bureau that considered them too bad a risk to take? Surely, even the most fool hardy would pause and think on the safe side of the altar, instead of en- tering into marriage that was pre- ordained to end in the divorce court. 1 But. valuable as the marriage in- surance may be, in a way it is like 1 life insurance. You have to die to collect the policy, and nobody wants to do that,
 l The better way, therefore, is to : carry your own marriage insurance, and make your marriage a success yourself.
 This can be done by the exercise of a little tact, little common sense, a little self-eontrol, B little recogni- ton of the fact that marriage is a business obligation as well as a senti- mental adventure.
 Husbands and wives get tired of each other. They cease to love each other. They make their home a place of pickering and strife. They fall
 in love with other people. They wreck
 their lives, and break up their homes,
 and rush into other intanglements
 that end in disaster like their first
 Why?
 Because they carried no marriage
 insurance. They did not try to make marriage success. They killed love with nagging and criticism. They trampled every illusion under foot. They were hateful, and became hated. People like these will always need to take out a marriage insurance policy. But they are as bad a risk as the in- cendiary who burns down his house
 to get the insurance.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-11-29

1t is announced that one of the big Insurance companies is going to underwrite matrimony and doubtless, in the future when young couple take out their marriage license, they will also take out an insurance policy at the same time.
 This may not be romantic, but it is undoubtedly prudent, for when loves young dream goes to smash, there is no such comfort as having hard cash to fall back upon. or course, no money can pay for the broken hopes and blasted illusions of a marriage that turns out badly, but it is sadly and sordidly true, that no other remedy is so offiacous in assuaging the ache of a broken heart. us a poHlitice of the long green.
 This feature of the affair will ap- peal particularly to women, for. un- less a woman has money of her own. when she marries she backs her luck with all that she has got. She is a plunger who risks everything on her one best bet because she gives to marriage and to the making of a home, her youth and her strength and enthusiasm and the time in which she could be getting a start in some self-supporting occupation.
 If, then her marriage turns out a failure it is double tragedy because she not only loses her husband, but her home and her means of livelihood. In the case of divorce, the courts may allow her a pittance of alimony which generally takes female Shy lock to collect. as there is no other debt that man pays so grudgingly as what he owes to his ex-wife. Nor is there any money that ever scomes to woman and seems as tainted and unclean to her.
 Therefore. women will hail with joy, the sporting chance offered by the marriage insurance. It's an an- chor to the windward in case of storm. Tho woman. herself, helps to throw it out when the skies are bright, so the compensation she gets for the loss of her affection of a tickle husband comes to her imper- sonally and she is not forced to feed on the crumbs that fall from the table of the woman who has gotten him. And that saves her face.
 Just how the matrimonial insur- ance is to function has not yet been made public, but it is easy to see how it may be beneficial phychologi- cally, as it is materially. It may really assure marriages by insuring them.
 Before you can insure your life.

By FLORENCE DAVIES IS IT ENOUGH?

When Lloyd George resigned as prime minister of England a few weeks ago. the news caused excite nent everywhere, and consternation n quarters close to Downing stree. A Journalist who had called at the prime minister's office in that street to verify the report that the little Welshman had laid down the badge of office, tells of an incident that is both interesting and Illuminating.
 Leaving the office after his inter- View, he stopped outside to charge and light his pipe The single police man on duty there strolled over.
 "Gs 1t true he's resigned. sir?" he asked. recognizing the journalist.
 Yes; that's right"

 A thousand orators. stumping Britain in the recent general election campaign precipitated hY the prime minister's action. eulogized Lloyd George at length in the effort to re- turn him to power; an army of edi. tors the world around have penned myriad columns of appraising words in judgment npon the dynamic force that was the British premier's. But none of them said it 30 succinctly as the "bobbie" outside Downing street, nor all of them voiced so truly and clearly the summing up of his work:
 Well, he did Is bit Rather blus- tery tonight sir
 Though Lloyd George should never again rise to power he could rest content with that embracing eulogy. Or rising he can never hope to attain to judgment so kindly and so fair.
 The little phrase was of war-t time coinage. but il we'll deserves this boost toward immortality given to it by the London "hobbie."
 For 1t holds in it's terse interior d brief but important bit of philosophy.
 Ii doesn't ask you how much you've accomplished great or startling your work has been. It only asks if you've done your bit. if you've done enough to justify your existence. Has it been enough?
 Even the poorest and frailest of us. even the most stupid have done our bit if we have done all we could in proportion to our store of ability.
 Lloyd George had done his bit as q prime minister. more good deal than you or l could do. but for him it was adjudged neither more nor less than his bit He did what he could.
 I could not have done as much. nor could you, perhaps. But if we do the job we have in hand as we'll as we can, the policeman at the gate may some day wave his hand and rod to passerby: She's done her bit--a blustery highland now what's next?"

CHAIRMAN WRIGHT
ISSUES STATEMENT
Urges All Republicans To Cast Their
Vote Tuesday, November
9Th

Geo. w. Wright, Republican State
Chairman, issued his first statement
OF the campaign Saturday. II was an
appeal to all of the interests of the
state, agriculture, labor and business,
sound, economical administration OF
state affairs. 1t was a message to all
Republicans and to all whose natural
interests lie with the Republican
Party:
Our welfare in the State OF South
Dakota" said Mr.. Wright, depends
Of course, upon the soundness OF the
business administration of public at
fairs and the sincerity and honesty
with which that administration Is car
ried on. The record of the Republi-
can Party of South Dakota d~iscioses
a progressive, constructive, sound
business administration. II Ia the
duty of every man and woman, who Is
or has been a Republican and Of those
who feel that their interests tie up
with tho policies OF the Republican
Party, to take an interest In this cam
paign. 1t Is not good citizenship for
Republicans to assume that because
in q normally Republican state, with
three candidates In the field and the
Republican candidate assured OF re-
election, they can refrain from going
to the polls 1t is just as necessary
to cast your vote and perform your
duties of citizenship when the result
is assured as 1t Is when the result
is in doubt. Otherwise party solidar-
ity is weakened.
There have been evidences In other
states, notably wisconsin and Iowa.
OF what is being called a vote of pro-
test-that is. a vote OF the man whose
taxes are high and whose prices are
~low--seeking to register his disap-
prevail of conditions and doing 70,
without thinking, by using his ballot
against the party in power. Republic
cans OF our sister state to the north
did that a few years ago and the re-
suits of what their vote OF protest
for them is known to the
world, all because OF the glaring
promises OF false prophets"
