Russians would buy machinery from

Dorothy Dix TALKS
Mammals Pet.
BY DOROTHY DIX
ESs4d's highest Paid Woman WRITES


A bigamist who has just beer
thrown into prison for having thirty
five wives scattered about in various
and sundry parts of the country, ex-
plains his mania for marrying by say
ing that he loved to be petted, and
just had to have some woman to baby
him.
1t seems to me that this muchly
married man has turned a bright light
on one phase of the masculine psy-
chology that has always been a dark
mystery to women. He has explained
why men seek wives, and why they
leave wives. He has solved the riddle
of why so many brilliant, beautiful
attractive women have grouchy and
disgruntled husbands, while SO often
ordinary, commonplace, uninteresting
women have husbands who purr like
tomcats under their hands.
Men want to be petted and ba-
bied, and some women have intelli-
gence enough to sense this, and feed
their husbands on sugar plumS, while
other women live and die under the
delusion that no man is born with a
sweet tooth, or ever yearns to hear a
word of affection, or tenderness And
that's that.
The truth is that men are just as
heart hungry as any old maid, and as
gullible and ready to swallow down
without investigation any sentimental
dope that is handed them. More than
that inside of every mans soul there
lives, as long as he lives. a little boy
who wants the woman he loves to
treat him like mammals little, blue
eyed, golden-haired pet
No matter how big and strong a
man is, nor how great and famous,
nor how many other men he bosses, he
wants his wife to treat him like a baby
who is petted, and cosseted, and
chucked under the chin. He may keep
up the bluff of being sufficient
abroad, but at home he wants to be
babied.
There isn't a man living whose Sc
cret ideal of the perfect wife Is not
the woman who puts the buttons in
his shirt, and lays out his collar and
tie in the morning, and has his slip
pers toasting by the fire of an even
ing, and who makes with her own
hands, the particular pie he likes best.
And it isn't because the man really
wants his wife to wait on him, either.
That does not enter into it at all. He
is just Nike the three-year-ol who
howls for mamma to put on his shoes,
or butter his bread when there are
seven nurses standing around to do it.
Men are babyish in wanting their
wives to show them off. Common de-
cency forbids that a man should
trumpet aloud his own exploits, and
call attention to how great and won
derful he is, but there is nothing to
hinder his wife from acting as his
press agent, and if she knows the wife
the face of little Tommy while his
proud mother is telling the smart
things he did and said. is exactly the
same expression that is on Tommy's
fathers face while his wife is brag-
ging about how he cornered the cot
ton market, or organized a trust. or
won big law suit, or was elected
judge.

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: have been
married two years and would get
along all right If it were not for my
husbands sister. She writes only to
him either ignoring or insulting me
in every one of her letters and dare
not say anything about it or my hus-
band gets raving and tells me to leave
or he will leave me.
I have written her two letters since
have been married. The first she
answered but wrote insultingly the
next time.
She is a middle aged woman and
it seems to me she could let young
people alone but I know she is trying
to part US and believe she will do it.
I am becoming so nervous over her
letters that after each one of them I
have a week of misery for sometimes
my husband will go days without so
much as looking my way.
He wants to go there on visit
and insists that go along. He up
holds her to her face against me the
same as he does in letters You see
what a time have with both of them
1t is nothing for her to tell me to shut
up If she feels like it.
Please tell me If I ought to go, and
do you suppose my husband will ever
be any different or just selfish all his
life? I will be a nervous wreck if
things don't get better.
We haven't any children
HELEN s.
You have taken unwise tactics with
your husband Since you know that
his love and loyalty to his sister are
very strong, you should absolutely re-
frain from saying anything that would
put him in defense of her. To keep
silent when she insults you would not
compromise you, because the sting of
her words would only react on her. If
you sealed your lips tightly and made
no comment. your husband would be
far more apt to consider the words Of
his sister unfair.
Do not let another person poison
your life. Remain sweet in spite of
the bitterness that comes your way.
If you force harsh and resentful
thoughts from your mind and think
love and happiness. you will be in a
better state of mind to keep your hus-
bands love and to live tremendously
with him.
At present I would not advise you
to visit the sister, Until you have
gained control of your nerves and
thoughts, you would go all to pieces
because of her unkind treatment It
would be far better to take a definite
stand and to refuse absolutely to go
at present

RIGHTS
Bill was q fellow who knew his rights, and
knew them from A to u.
He'd read the books and he'd read the
law and a rightful chap was he;
He walked the streets with his head up
high and he jostled his fellowman,
For Bill didn't know that his own right
ceased where the other chaps right
began.
This is the land of the free" said Bill,
he strutted his way along,
I've a right to live I please and be
the judge of what's right and
wrong"
And he laughed whenever his neighbors
frowned. and little he seemed TO care
That he was the pest of tine nelghborhOod
and nobody liked him there.
Now Bill was whooping it up one night
when ii neighbor happened in
And asked him in a friendly way to 81
lence the dreadful din;
"Some of us wish TO Sleep said he pray,
why should stop?" said Bill;

and you may be sure 1 Will"
The neighbor dented Bits brassy cheek
and fIattened his stubborn nose.
And he said: We've right to a peace
full day and right to a nights re-
pose,
And I'll teach you now" and he shot a
blow to the left of his foolish chin.
"That your rights end at the very limo
where your neighbours rights begin"

The war destroyed wealth and
strained credit resources to an unpar-
alleled degree. so much so that only a
little while ago it was the common
thought that banking credit would for
q long period be obtainable only at
premiums over the past. and that in
vestment capital would command high
rates perhaps for years to come. Yet
short-term banking credit has become
available at the lowest rates of a num-
her OF years, while Investment capital
is seeking employment at rates which
approximate those of the period be-
fore the war. The contrast between
present rates for credit and capital
and the rates Of 1920 IS a source Of

With the boy was dog. 1t was his

be sent to a house of some kind where

The boy was led away-the dog fol-

young master broke into tears and the
dog echoed his grief. The watchers
were touched And so was the judge.

the dog should go with the boy-the

There are many instances of dogs
dying of broken hearts. And they

in its master is anchored nothing
seems able to shake its loyalty.
