DOROTHY DIX TALKS-A MARRIAGE CONTRACT

like beggar rafting a tin cup, and beg for
few dollars to pay the butcher, the baker
and candlestick-maker, and keep the home
going. Still more does it infuriate her
never to have a cent of her own that she
can spend as she pleases when she knows
that if she did the work in any other house
than her own she would draw down fat
pay envelope every Saturday.
And yet it gets on the nerves of the aver
age man to be asked for money. He likes
to make his family presents, but he hates
to pay the bills. The gray establishment
of matrimony to him is that families cannot
be fed on air, and that wives are not
miracle workers, who can conjure good
meals out of nothing instead of having to
get the materials from the butcher and the
grocer.
marriage contract in which the man
agrees to turn definite percentage
of his earnings to his wife would eliminate
this never-ending cause of friction. If the
woman didn't consider the terms liberal
enough she needn't sign up, and if the man
wasn't willing to pay the price he could
withdraw before marriage and in time to
save himself trouble and alimony.
Certainly no one can deny that it would
help tremendously to settle the in-law ques-
ton before the wedding day instead of fight
ing over it afterwards. 1t could be writ
ten in the bond that neither party was to be
sacrificed to the others mother, and that
each of the aforeherensaid parties was to
be entitled to have his or her relatives camp
for a specific and equal number of days in
the spare bedroom and no more.
AS for the extravagant wife, surely it
would be check upon her spending to be
confronted with her own signed agreement
to live upon a certain amount of money.
No woman who had that matter written
into the bond before marriage could re-
gard her husband as mere cash reg
lister, as do so many other wives who
seem to consider matrimony in the light OF
a graft.
man would also have right to de-
mand in this contract that woman should
fulfill her part of the duties of the joint
partnership by making him a comfortable
home, and reserve for himself the privi-
lege of having some time to himself, in
which he would not be expected to punch
the home timeclock at the specified hour,
or else go through a scene.
And the woman might demand that her
husband should treat her with as much con-
sideration as he would a perfect stranger;
that he would take care of the children
one evening a week and let her go forth
to amuse herself unhindered by crying
babies.
And they might mutually covenant to-
gether to try to make as great success
of the partnership of matrimony as they
would of any other business. Which would
make marriage a success instead of the
failure it so often is.

r OFTEN think that it would be wise
thing if an engaged couple would sit
down together and draw up marriage
contract to which both of them would sub
scribe, and in which the duties, and obliga-
tions and right, and privileges of each
would be clearly set forth.
For, you see, the trouble with matrimony
is that before taking it concerns itself only
with glittering generalities, and after taking
it deals almost entirely with specific facts.
That is where the rub comes in. "A youth
and a maiden enter into the holy estate
with only the vague idea that they are go
. ing to love and cherish each other, and
make each other blissfully happy, but when
they find out that to promote another S
well-being requires personal sacrifice, each
refuses to be the family goat.
81 should never have married if 1 had
known that matrimOny meant the kitchen
for me, and scrimping along on a measly
allowance that isn't half what / earned in
my old job,' says the woman. wild horses
couldn't have dragged me to the altar" says
the man, eff I had had the remOtest sus-
picion that marriage turned man into a
wage-slave without even an evening off, as
a servant girl has"
It speaks volumes for the heart, and
nothing for the head that the great ma
iority of married couples have signed on
the dotted line of the marriage license
without ever making the slightest inVesti-
SaClOn OF Ln6 pIONISlOLo VI CuS llIC CO1Cl oNI'
or even attempting to find out what was
expected of them. Perhaps this is the rea-
son that the firm of Benedict & Co. so often
goes bankrupt.
Everybody's experience proves to them
that loose business methods invariably end
in disaster It is the 'gentlemen's agree
ment'' the family understanding, the verbal
promise, the things that were implied, or
taken for granted, that give the dishonest,
the grating and the cheats their oppor-
tunity, and that lose people their friends as
we'll as their money. The rock-bottom, cop
per-riveted contract, the signed note, the re-
ceipt, leave no room for anyones individual
Interpretation of an obligation and prevents
hard feeling as we'll as loss.
So the mere writing down of the marriage
agreement in which both of the high con-
tracing parties stipulated what they thought
they had a right to demand of the other
would do more than anything else to clarity
the situation. 1t would make both the man
and the woman realize the gravity of what
they are undertaking, and they would, at
least, know the weight of the burdens they
are shouldering instead of having them
dumped unexpectedly upon them.
According to the statistics of the divorce
courts, the three things that do more than
anything else to cause domestic discord are
the money question, in-laws and wives ex-
travagance.
All of these bones of contention could
be eliminated by the marriage contract.
The fly in the ointment of millions Of
marriages is the daily spat over money at
the breakfast table. 1t makes woman
mad all over to have to go to her husband,

AMERICAN ART
BY Dr.. Frank Crane

some time ago Chicago artist living in
Paris delivered an address in America in
which he severely criticised the work of
American painters.
He also blew very hard the old familiar
note that there is no American school of art
Likewise, he emphasized that familiar
statement upon which we were all brought
up that France is the one country in which
to learn art.
He referred rather contemptuously to
American art in giving it the epithet of mail
ORDER
Furthermore, he INDUCED in the well-worn
platitude that in America there is no artistic
atmosphere.
About 80 per cent of this is bunk
Art is not different from any other kind
of human activity in that it follows the law
OF demand and supply. And in the case of
art probably more than in any other instance
demand means wealth. Art follows wealth.
There is no group of workers that talk
more about despising money and being above
all sordid considerations of gain and at the
same time can be more easily and success
fully bribed than artists.
You can see the proof of this in the fact
that most of them and the best of them are
working for millionaires. They are build
ing statues to set up in rich mems gardens
and carving tombs for the deceased wives of
pork packers.
Art follows money as trade follows the
flag.
For this reason art is decaying in Europe.
The reason being that Europe has no more
money to pay for it. Europe is poor and her
magnificent ones are having hard work to
keep up their retinue of servants, buy gas
for their automobiles, pay their gambling
debts, and supply the other necessities of life.
They are not using much painting and sculpt-
ure these times
For this reason any artist in Paris, Rome,
or Munich will howl to you as loud as any
sucking dove about the terrible conditions.
And because America has the money and
lis building up class of people that have
SuperfluOus wealth to spend upon their
ideals, there is a "eater market for work of
the artists hand and brain in Toledo, Buff
| falo, and Kansas City than there is in Paris,
! Venice, and Budapest.
In our present state of civilization, or I'M
civilization, no way has yet been discovered
! to liberate the artist from the chains of
wealth. Some day, possibly when society
shall have become sufficiently socialized, the
artist may be free endowed, and encouraged
| to create his IDEAL for the benefit of the
whole people.
| Politically, the world is democratic.
| Economically, the world is still under the
| feudal system, and long this is so the
artist we'll the ecclesiastic will prosper
| only as he attaches himself to patron.

Flying Americans


Berlin gazes with wonder on the Flying
American" for whom the railroad strike and
the snow storms that are now raging are OBJ
stacles too insignificant to keep him from
travelling. No sooner had the strike started
than Americans called upon the federal
transportation authorities and chartered spe-
cial aeroplanes to enable them to reach the
ports whence they were to sail for the United
States within few days
Though the aviation officials protested
that the bad weather made flying dangerous
and though steep prices were asked for the
trips, the Americans held firmly to their in
tention of travelling, so two or three planes
are leaving Berlin daily with courageous
Americans as passengers. "These Americans
are as crazy as they were before the war;"
is the laconic comment of the Berlin news
papers.
The 1nter-allied commission, which also is
cut off by the strike, plans to inaugurate an
alrplane and automobile service from the oc-
cupied territory to Berlin.

Beggar Dollar

The spending power of the Amercan/work-
ing man, cut two and half billion dollars in
1921, because Of industrial depression, unem-
ployment and wage cuts, is on the increase
again, department of labor officials estimated
today.
This cut in spending power last year &C.
counted almost entirely for the so-called buy
ers' strike, officials believe.
Buying this year is expected to be in much
larger volume than in 1921. Reports to the
federal reserve board show Christmas trade
in excess of expectations The buying move
ment started then is continuing and unem-
ployment is being constantly lessened
Every gain in employment represents an
equivalent gain in purchasing power. Many
lines OF, industry are taking on additional
workers, the latest employment survey shows.

Concerning Crime

The reason there Is a prevalent belief that
newspapers print great quantity of crime
items is the way in which the average news
paper reader reads newspaper, Lee A.
White, editorial eecutive of the Detroit News,
said in an address before the Medill School
of Journalism This is the way, according to
Mr. White:
Column one: Disarmament conference.
The reader, disarmament conference I'm,
UNI, UNI, JAPAN I'm. Hughes, I'm. Shantung,
I'm. Finished.
Column two Stillman case; ums,
close attention. Occasional murmur of can
you beat that?' One reader says he must
scan the column because the case is a
sociological document Another merely
says it is hot stuff Both skip nary word.
Column three: The farmer bloc in con-
gress. The reader, I'm, UNI. Well, know
what think of farmers Finished.
Column four: Murder. The reader, Say,
here's my story in real life. Why it's as good
as novel; No further sound from him for
twelve minutes. Finished.
Column five: Orchestra deficit orchestra
must be saved. The reader, rs that SO? Well,
let somebody save it, then Finished"
By that time, Mr.. White said, the reader
turns hurriedly to the sport age, after hay
ing earned his rest, sleeps, his slumbers dis
turbed, however, by the thought of the crime
the newspapers print.

DR.. Cook Again

Discovery in a SnOWburied iglOO built by
an Eskimo hobo on the frozen trails of the
Far North, of notes and instruments belong
ing to DR.. Frederick A. Cook, has been
in the oil business here, and few weeks ago
sold most of his holdings.
From his office DR.. Cook has issued q
statement, saying:
1.-THE notebook, field observations instru-
ments and part of equipment referred to in
this news item were left with Harry Whit
ney at my camp at Etah in Greenland. He
was forced to bury them This point is 1900
miles north of where parts of the material
were found with a wandering Eskimo Other
parts of this same material were traded by
Eskimos with the whalers and Danish fur
gatherers. Since most of the records of this
work were copied and published, this find is
only valuable in the light of the later cam
paign of doubt and suspicion.
THE pole was reached April 21, 1908,
and [ am glad to say that every phase of
Arctic exploration with a bearing upon this
work has verified the first reports, but, Just
at present, prefer the blue skies, the bound
less reach OF the wealth-producing plains of
Texas and the semi-tropical sunshine of the
Southwest.
Il have no desire to reopen the polar con-
troVersy. The records on both side have been
published, the future must Judge us by tho
official reports of what we have produced
Since the dawn of history all explorers have
been rated by the subsequence re-examina-
ton and ver1fication of reports of the pioneer
eIIorts. me attainment of the pole must be
recorded in the lasting pages of history by
the same standard and such reports as this
sent in by Kenneth NJ. Clark from the polar
edge OF the timberland, is part of this slow
process OF checking up history for future
geperations."
