MAMMALS LETTER
(Florence Borner.)

My mamma has gone to tn city,
Just yesterday she went away,
An l am 30 lonesome without her,
l wonder how long she will stay;
So I've foun' me a pencil an paper,
To write long letter, you see
An mamma will surely be ticket,
To get nice letter fr'mme.
I'll tell her about all my children,
Susanna, an Betsy an Bess, .....'
Sometimes they are awfully naughty.
An sometimes they're good, more or less;
I'll write about Rover, my doggie,
An Spotty (she is tn oil cat,
An has big family O. kittens,
But dear mamma knows about that.
My goodness! 1 can't think O. nothin',

An now that I've finished my letter,
I'll fold it, an put it inside
o. tn envelop', an run out an post it,
1t is not long letter you see,
But mamma will be glad to get it,
Because it was written by me.

RAILWAY MAGE FIGHT

Delegates representing 100000
railway workers gather in Cincinnati
to fight reductions in their wages.
Their leaders say strike vote prob
ably will be taken.
What are the railway workers COM
planning about?
Just this: That the Interstate
Commerce Commission, department
of the federal government which has
authority to tell the railways how
much they may charge for carrying
freight and passengers, recently ord.
cred the railways to reduce freight
rates.
|! The railways, of course, have TO
obey. But they say they can make
the reductions only # they are al
lowed also to reduce the pay OF the
imen who work for them.
So the railways have asked the
United States Railroad Labor Board,
another government department that
has charge of fixing the wages or
railway employees, to allow reductions
in pay. Already some cuts have been
made.
The railway workers object to this.
They say if their wages arc cut tney
cannot support their families and i've
in comfort. And they promise I'm
ish fight against all further wage
cuts.

Is Marriage a
Failure?
The Great Adventure.

Marriage Ia an agreement, and,
like all contractual arrangements.
In order to make same effective and
binding, there should be a meeting
of the minds of the parties. Herein
lies the, hitch. for while most other
forms of contract have a definite
idea expressed by the parties as to
what they have mutually agreed to
do or not to do. the same Is not
true in the majority of cases with
persons entering into Q matrimonia.
contract.
After the proposal has been made
by the party of the first part and
accepted by the party of the second
part. for the time being the two
should leave sentiment and other
considerations aside. to do with this
most momentous of contracts what
they do with any other agreement,
that is, to calmly and judicially
weigh the matter from all possible
angles.
Undertaken in this manner. mar
riage would be less of a disillusion-
ment and disappointment. Sooner
or later We shall reach a stage of
development land the sooner the
better). when there will be a legal
preliminary formula prescribed by
law for those contemplating matri-
mony. such as having to make a
legal record of the engagement be-
fore a public oficial: limiting the
engagement. and signing a contract
setting forth the responsibilities to
be assumed by each, state of health,
etc.
Some may argue that such red
tape would tend to discourage mar
riage, much like the terrors that
were pictured before prohibition.
but We do not believe that this
would discourage any honorable
couple having the correct intentions
but would serve as a deterrent to
those who should be deferred and
protected for their own good and
that Of society.
Marriage is not a failure une
never will be to those who enter it
with a serious and mutual UNDER
standing of what they are contem-
plating in so far as a forecast can
be made at the time. Marriage con-
tains the best prospects for happi-
ness Of any step in life.
All kinds of safeguards are pro-
vided for those making business con-

1t Seems to Me
By Haywood Broun.

We have never had many stan
dards of criticism, and as we age
we keep whiting away at those
which remain. In our youth we used
to say of some dramatic entertain
ment or other. This is all very
amusing. but 1t isn't a play" By
now that has come to seem to us
an essentially useless remark. If
there is no fun in a performance
the fact that it is well made offers
small comfort.
Looking over our first night re-
marks about The Old Soak" by
Don Marquis. 1t seems to us that
we did not testify with anything
like adequate fervor to the delights
of the affair. Technically we were
within our rights in pointing out
that some of the phases of the
story are clumsy md shopworn, but
looking back upon il we must ad-
nit that this didn't bother us as
much as we indicated. We should
have regarded all the business
about the boy who was short in
his accounts and stole the bonds
and bought the fur coat for the
dancer merely as a sort of pre-

Washington.-Swift motor boats will

Lake Champlain in war on Canadian
rum smugglers, Prohibition Commits
sioner Hughes announced upon his re-
turn to Buffalo where comprehen-
sive campaign was planned.
Plans for stopping the flow of illicit
liquor into this country from Canada,
Mr.. Hughes said, were worked out in
Buffalo in conference with Federal
Prohibition Director Day of New York,
officials Of the customs and immigra-
tion services and the district attor-
ney's office.
Rum smuggling across the Canadian
border, he explained, despite the CO.
operation of Canadian officials pre-
sents peculiar problem because of
the Canadian law permitting liquor
exports while the American law for
bids alcoholic imports. However, he
declared, it was believed that a fleet
of fast motor boats would keep the
water clear of liquor runners.
