WHAT YOU AGREED TO

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo,
April 10.-Married bliss? Bah!
A myth. A delusion.
You married who think
you are happy, listen to Miss Eliza
beth Belschner. blissfully single, Sec
rotary of the conventions bureau of
of the Colorado Springs Chamber of
Commerce. Miss Belschner has re-
duced married life down to a dis
couraging array of figures. to prove
it is just one long round of planning
and cooking meals and washing
dishes.
Eyes, l realize hat the average
person eats only three meals a day."
she says. But there are 365 days in
the year. That means 1895 meals a
yeari
Oh, drab day when you were wed,
Think of 1895 meals a year-and
the utensils and dishes and silver
ware to wash and wipe! If you can't
summon up courage enough to think
of this heap of greasy housework
you contracted for yourself on your
wedding day, Miss Belschner does it
for YOU. Look at her figures:
In preparing meals, you use at
least six kettles a day. That's 2190
greasy pots to clean a year!
In cooking you need about four
utensils a meal, or 1880 a year. Let
alone extra paraphernalia.
Why didn't you think of this be-
fore you said, "Yes?"
But, Miss Belschner goes on:
For the average family of four,

BEST FRIEND { EVER HAD," SAYS
 GEO. CHRISTIAN
Presidents Secretary VisibIy
 Affected By Sad News

LOS ANGELES, August 2.-"I have lost the best friend l ever had and so has every American," George B. Christian, Jr., secretary to President Harding, tolG the Los Angeles Times tonight when informed of the sud- den death of the chief executive in San Francisco.
 The news was taken to Mir. Chris tian at Glendale, a suburb, by the Times. He stood with bowed head as he received it. He was visibly af- fected and for fully five minutes did not speak, but stood still, his hat in his hand, his eyes on the ground.
 All members of the Christian party removed their hats and bowed their heads. United States Senator Short ridge was the first to break the silence eXclaiming:
 Oh, my God. Think of it."
 Alfred F. BeriAton grand com mander of the Knights Templar If California, said the death of MT Harding was a tragedy for the peo- pie of the entire country.
 T am moved almost beyond words" said MT. Berinton. Ut is a terrible tra gedy."
 The party had gone to Glendale to board train for San Francisco. Mir Christian came from there today to represent MT. Harding at the presen- tation of the International Travelling Beauseant Of the Knights Templar to the Hollywood commandery. He and his companions will reach San Francisco tomorrow morning.

HARDING ILLNESS STRIKINGLY LIKE
 THAT OF WILSON
Both Had Gone Before Nation To Make Plea For
 Peace
WASHINGTON. August

. WASHINGTON. TON August August, 2:.. 2@cBy y striking parallel between the circum- stances which led up to President Harding's fatal illness and those which preceded the physical collapse of President Wilson during west ern speaking trip in 1919.
 MT. Wilson had left Washington with the avowed purpose of carrying to the people the gospel of peace as he conceived it to be bound up in American participation in the League of Nations.
 In the case of President Harding it was well known among his friends that he went in the west determined to explain to the people his concep- ton of world peace as hinging on American participation in the world court.
 When he cancelled the remainder of his trip at Wichita, Kas., Mir. Wilson had travelled S.200 miles in the heat of late summer, and had de- livered more than 40 speeches. When Mr. Harding surrendered to the or der of his physician at San Francis co. he had travelled 7,500 miles. and had made upward of 60 speeches.
 By another strange freak of cir cumStanceS, each was near to an ac- cident near Seattle just before he reviewed the Pacific fleet there dur ing his trip. A launch bearing the President and Mrs. Wilson away from the Seattle pier was rammed and nearly overturned by another small boat. while in the case of President Harding the naval trans port Henderson. bringing him and Mrs. Harding back from Alaska ramned a destroyer just outside Seattle harbor.
 When he was taken i'll, Mir. Wilson was 62 years old, MT. Harding was 57.

S-hour shifts. They are to get 10 hours pay for eight hours work.
 Where the hours of employees con nected with continuous process, Gary explained, are reduced from 12 to hours, their wage rates will be so adjusted as to afford earnings equivalent to 25 per cent increase in hourly and base rate.
 All other workmen will be on 10 hours or less and their present hour by and base rates will be continued but whenever 1t is practicable, by promotions or changes in position the daily earnings will be according ly adjusted.
 Since steel chiefs had previously stated that the wage scales woulS be adjusted after conferences with the workers leaders, it is assumed the new schedule of pay has met with agreement by the men.
 Secure AddiOinaI Workers.
 It has been estimated that approx imately 60, 900 additional workers would have to be secured for the mills to make possible a complete re- organization for eight hour shifts. As Gary says, the speed with which these additional men can be oo- tained will determine how soon all the mills will have eliminated the old l2-hour regime Conservative, labor leaders estimate that 1t will be the first of the year before the change has been completed.
 The equalization of the steel in- dustry on the work day question: President Harding may be regarded as having won a victory that organ iZed labor sought with all of its pow CTS to effect for years in vain. Twice, great efforts were made by the A. F. of l.. to unionize the industry and recently President Gompers an nounced another attempt would be made.
 Curiously enough it was shortly after his announcement that the Judge Gary declared positively that the 12-hour day would go. The plan of the A. F of L. was to attempt unionization of the industries about the great Pittsburgh center and then close in on that last. Steel manu- lecturers professed no concern over this movement and assert that now it would be even more futile than were the two previous attempts when the 12-hour day was still an issue.
 In the Pittsburgh steel district steps already have been taken to- Steel manufacturers admitted at Youngstown, O., Wednesday that la b r-saving devices were being sought to reduce the number of ad- ditional workmen needed nader the short-shift system. Such devices, it was explained, would go far toward holding down the increased cost of steel under the new S-hour regime.
