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

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a girl
of eighteen and am going with young
man of twenty-one. We get along
fine and he wants me to marry him.
There is one objection which mother
holds against him-his religion. He
wants me to turn his way and mother
says he should turn my way. Which
one do you think is right?
Do you think that two persons. each
holding a different religious belief
could live together very long without
ending up in a divorce case?
Also, do you think eighteen is too
young to get married?
Do you believe that a girl should
or could marry the first beau she had
and live happily? i
wonder how many cases there arc
like. mine which have come out sue
cessfully? would like to see some
answers to this letter in your column
If it is permissible. BRUNO
Love, religion, politics and patriot
dividual. They cannot be changed or
removed at will; only the intellect of
the individual has power over them.
would not think much of you If
man you love, and neither would L
think much of him If he gave up his
religion for you. UNLESS each may
keep his own beliefs after marriage
ana harmony De maintained, SuCn a
thing should not be considered.
1t is impossible for me to say how
many maria ReS are a success and
how many a failure when there is a
difference in religion. Statistics of
that nature would not be helpful in
your case anyway, because it all de-
ponds on you and the man concerned
which class you would enter.
1t is also a lottery whether 1t is
better to marry at the early age of
eighteen or whether it is better to wait
few years. In a case like yours
would advise waiting. If for two
years your love endures and you do
not enter into unpleasant arguments
regarding religion, you will have every
reason to believe that you could live
together happily. Of course the ques-
ton of the education of the children
should be understood before marriage,
because that causes more trouble than
anything else
Sometimes it is very satisfactory to
marry the first sweetheart, and some
times it is not. Personally 1 would
prefer to choose my husband than to
take the first to come along. OF
course the intensity of love should
govern. Very often love comes with
the first attra ction.
Probably you will accuse me of
being ambiguous. 1t is difficult to be
anything else because there is no
fixed statement that can be answered
to any of your questions. I too will
be very much interested in the opin-
ions of others regarding your prob
lens.

Statistics issued by the department
of labor show that strikes in this
country average more than $500 per
year. 1t is not contended by the de-
partment that its figures are accurate
since they depend upon newspaper
and trade paper reports for the most
part. but that they are under, rather
than overstatements. 1t is impossi-
BILE truthfully to estimate the average
cost of strikes since they vary SO in
duration, number of workmen af-
fected and economic loss thru what
ever industry is wholly or partially
shut down. But If the most conserva-
tive possible estimate be adopted. and
it is considered that the average strike
affects 100 workmen. and that the
average strike lasts ten days. the total
arrived at is s,3O0.0O0 working days
lost per year. If the average cost to
each workman is SIS per day and the
average loss to each industry does
not exceed three times the loss to the
workmen. then strikes cost this coun-
try some $ss.ooO.ooo year.

JUST FOLKS

BY EDGAR A. GUEST.


You can pack it all under the roof the
laughter and song and the praise
And all that the world has to give to
brighten the toil-burdened days;
You can travel for gold and for fame, for
months and for years you may roam,
But vain is the joy you shall win unless
you can bring it back home.
The beauty of life doesn't lie in the dis
lance over the seas,
The goals which men seek may be far, but
the roof and familiar trees,
The street where the loved ones await and
the soft lights of welcome that burn.
Are all that make victory sweet, and to
these must the toileE return
The glitter of gold has no charm except
for the miserly few,
The lure of it lives in the joys 1t can give
and the deeds IL can do;
Not for itself would men live alone in q
wind-beaten shack,
They battle the mountain for gold for the
pleasure of bringing 1t back.
1t all must come home at the end, the
glory, the wealth and the fame,
We must bring IT back home at night, the
sting of the failure and shame;
And when the long struggle Is thru. and
we turn with the prize in our pack,
The thing which makes victory sweet Is
the pleasure Of bringing 1t back

What the people know about tariffs

national lawmakers. But, it adds. q
little study by the people of the in
come and profits taxes would increase
the lawmakers worry to panic pro-
portions.
The present congress has kept the
income tax rates so high, it is pointed
out. that men of wealth go on turning
their fortunes into tax-exempt bonds.
That puts them quite out of reach of
the tax collector. Congress has kept
the profits tax in full operation. Yet
the profits tax VIGOROUSLY is a pyra-
mided tax, the whole burden of which
falls upon the consumer. The manu-
facturer, the wholesaler and the re-
taller all ostensibly pay a profits tax.
but what they actually do is to COM
bine their taxes. add something extra
for themselves. and lift the whole
from the consumers pocket.
So much for the taxes that congress
approves. It will have nothing to do
with the sales tax on any account.
Yet that tax. If substituted for the
pyramided taxes, would cause a re-
duction in prices to consumers. The
people would know they paid It and
would be IN a position to reject the
excuses of profiteering dealers who
find the profits tax highly useful in
justifying excessive costs. Further,
the people who in making purchases
now pay other peoples taxes and do
not know it would then pay lower

For that kind of a man makes the
sort of husband who snoops around
the kitchen, and peers into the ice box
and the garbage can, and goes to the
dressmaker with his wife, and runs
her show as well as his own. and
drives her mad by his ceaseless sug-
gestions. The wife of such a man
has just as much liberty of action as
a canary in cage.
Next, I should note how a man
spends his money. I should note
whether he was a waster who threw
it away on foolishness, and who
bought things he could not afford. or
a tightwad who never spent 1t at all,
for equally to be avoided are the
spendthrift and the miser.
- The poor man who buys an auto
mobile on the installment plan; who
sends a girl orchids, and who orders
twenty-dollar dinners at a restaurant
is not proving his love for her. He is
warning her that if she marries him
she will be stavtng off bill collectors
all te balance of her life. But the man
who takes her to the poorest seat In
the theater, and who wrangles over
the bill with the waiter for a fifty
cent lunch, is also warning her. He
is telling her that IL she marries him
she will have to get every penny out
of him with a corkscrew, and that she
will dread the first of every month
as she would the judgment day.
Then 1 would try to find out If
man really had the ability to interest
me. and hand out a line of converse
ton that I'd care to listen to thru
thirty or forty years. Every man is
a spellbinder as long as he is telling
a woman what wonderful eyes she
has, and how he adores her, but you
can't keep up the paeon of praise
after the wedding day. any more than
you can live on steady diet OF choco-
late creams.
The time comes when you crave
strong meat to eat. and somebody
with whom you can exchange intel
ligent ideas about books, and politics,
and what's going on in the world.
any other complaint, and the thing
that is chiefly the matter with do
mestic life is dullness.s Therefore, one
of the chief things that a woman
needs to look for in a husband Is his
ability to keep her entertained.
Then I should look at mans gem
eral attitude towards life, whether it
was peevish, and disgruntled. and
fault finding, or philosophical, and
good natured, for no woman can be
happy whose husband is not the big
sunshine around the house.
You never can tell, of course. what
sort of husband a man will make. but
would show a good natured chap, who
can tell a good story. who carries his
small change loose in his pocket, and
who believes implicitly in the myth
that woman is a mystery that a man
should worship without trying to
guess.
