THE JEALOUS MALE
nr wINNIEREn HARPER cnnLry

Hit Wife on Head Because He Loved Her So.' proclaimed the head lines of a murder.
 This touching tribute to woman's charms may bring forth signs of envy from spinsters and neurotic maidens suffering from suppressed desires, but we prefer less affection and a longer life.
 From Othello up and down the line. love. especially marital passion, has been supposed to he the side partner of violent, unreasoning jealousy. 8trocious crimes are pardoned the jealous spouse because he loved much. When the big black warrior smothcrs his innocent and exquisite bride because he jumped at conclu- sions and accepted eircumstantial evidence, thus insulting her refine ment and deoeney and killing her in her prime, sympathy gtes out to him because of his great love"
 Of course all jealousy is founded on egotism, selfishness and the firm belief that one adult human being absolutely possesses another. We deny it.
 If a modern. intelligent person, be- lieVing in personal responsibility for morals rather than every husband : his-own detective, asserts that he is not jealous, folks smile sceptically and declare that he does not love his wife!
 It is a simon-pure harem type of love" that watches suspiciously. lays down rules and ultimatums for wife and is ever ready to believe the worst. Any conjugal love worth hav- 1 ing csteems and trusts. and assumes that a woman has her own standards of conduct and self-respect and is de- voted to her spouse.
 If she is not fond of you, no fear complex is going to make her so. Unless you can stand competition, better retire from the field. But go easy on the axe or cyanide of potas- sium or ground glass in her coffee, for all juries are not addicted to the unwritten law judgment, and will not decide that a husband owns his wife, and so can murder her, or her ad- mirer, at his discretions Then, too, women sit on juries nowadays, and they may take look at you. and at the suspected rival, and murmur- Poor dear. seeing him, can yeu blame her."
 The jealous male is a sorry spec tacle for gods and men. He works himself up into a fevered state, often over frowsy female that no one would have from life's bargain coun- ter, and he stoops tC such petty per seeutions that he is both disagreeable and ridiculous.
 To be sure, his technique may have the desired result-fer the reason that he is alone in the field, there being no other takers; or because the intimidated creature is depend l ent on him financially, or is terror i fzed. But what real man wants a wife under such conditions?
 Then too. he may only seem to l triumph; for ladies too closely 1 watched are apt to develop a finesse l in deceit that is appalling. Playing Master to Slave is fun for the Mas
 ter. but the slave has a trick or two, and some prison inmates enjoy out witting their keeper!
 From Donna Julia, who taught l young Don Juan his amorous alpha bet and made a laughing stock of her elderly husband, down through i history suspected wives usually have i justified the suspicious.

But this was not true, because the only relative the Gee whiliker has is the Too Acc Quee and the Too Ack Quee never speaks to the Geewhiliker. And so. as they did not have any relatives to visit the bottle imp and the Geewhiliker just wandered around in the deep deep woods until they came to a large hollow tree. Then they went inside to take a nap. It is funny how things turn out sometimes! That hol- low tree was the very same tree under which the Raggedy's and Bet sy Bonnet String stopped to rest after running so long.
 And just as Raggedy Ann handed the magic apron to Betsy Bonnet String the bottle imp awakened. Were you talking?" he asked the Geewhiliker

WILLARD GAINS
FRIENDS IN
BETTING
Will Enter Ring Even Money,
If Not an Actual
80
Favorite.
By TAD.

Written for Cosmopolitan News Service.
NEW YORK, July LA month
ago men about town freely offered
8 to 1 that Dead Pan Louie" Ffrpo
would clean up Jess Willard when
they met in Jersey City.
They all hoped up with Louie's
knockouts hereabouts and rated
him as good as Jeffries.
After some thought and some
more conversation, however, the
wise boys are beginning to switch
to Big Jess, and right now it looks
as though the ex-champion will be
an even money shot or favorlte
before the pair get into the ring
tomorrow night.
Eddie Brannick, the genial traf-
fic manager of the New York Gil
ants, is one of those who has lately
switched to Willard.
81 used to think Willard the big
gest hunk of cheese boxing had
produced" said Eddie out of the
side of his kisser yesterday.
HE looked to me as though he
was born with two strikes on him,
until that Toledo thing. After that
I admired the big fellow. 1 never
heard of a gamer exhibition, and
I hear he never lost his smile
throughout the whole bloody mess.
The very idea Of fighting after be-
ing down seven times thrilled me,
and they say that he was getting
better as the fight went along. You
know if he hadn't been stunned so
by that lucky punch in the first
round he'd have outfought De'np-
sey that day. Well, when the big
fellow came back last May and put
the skids under Floyd Johnson I
began to think that my earlier
ideas were all wrong.
"It was his size that turned me
against him. Now I've studied his
record and figured his fights with
Gunboat Smith, Jack Johnson. Mo-
ran, Dempsey, and, on the square,
I'm for him. I think he'll take
this Firpo and take him good. He's
too experienced, he hits too hard
and his confidence is unquestioned.
No sucker can lick Willard. He's
been through too much and he's too
smart "

had only nine rounds more to go
and felt like a fighting cock.
There was no way for me to
lose now except by a lucky punch
for Jeff, and l was as careful as
could be. In the nineteenth or
twentieth-I've forgotten which
a wild right caught me a glancing
blow on the ear and l hit the
floor. l wasn't dazed, however,
and was up in a few seconds.
Jeff was slowing up terribly, and
l hit him ten and fifteen times
in succession without return.

Goose Goslin accounted for the

While the Browns scored twice
in the first inning on a triple by
Williams and Jacobson's fly, the
fourth frame took the heart out of
Zahniser and his supporters when
Hank SEVERED, with the bases

field fence.
Shocker held the Griffs to four
hits, no two of which came in any

other hand, slammed out thirteen
