Why Don't Men Appreciate Homey, Comfortable Wives9 The Pickle Girl Who Has Never Loved-Shall He Marry His llliterate Sweetheart?

piness in such a marriage. The odds are all against you.
 A beautiful moron very often makes a very strong appeal to man because of her physical attractions and because one doesn't expect much intelligence of a young girl. At 19 or 20 it doesn't disgust us to find a girl lacking in knowledge of what goes on in the world or one who mas never read anything. Her very artlessness and ignorance are anus ing and entertaining like that of a little child.
 But look ahead 15 years or 20 years and think how bored you will be with the daily companionship of woman who has no intelligence, who is not interested in any of the things that you are interested in, who doesn't understand any conveFs- aton that is in words of more than two syllables. And think how as- named you would be of a wife who was illiterate and at whom people laughed.
 If the girl has tried to overcome her lack of education and has failed, it shows that she belongs to that great and pitiful class of the men, tally deficient. That makes it crime for you to marry her. You nave no right to bring Predetermined children into the world, for the chil- dren of mentally deficient mothers almost invariably inherit her mis- fortune.
 It takes lot of sense and boise for woman to make a good wife and good mother, Robert. Why marry fool who will drag you down and hear your idiot children when there are so many pretty, smart girls in the world?
 Better little heartache now in breaking off with this girl who at tracts you than years and years of misery with wife so undesirable.

G0WDY, HERO IN 1914,
IN BIG SERIES AGAIN

After nine long years, two of
which were spent in active service
in the world war, Hank Gowdy, out
standing player in the briefest world
series in base ball history. bobs up
as a prospective hero of another title
deciding tournament.
In 1914 Gowdy was member of
the Boston Braves, who captured the
world championship by defeating
Connie Mack's Athletics in four
straight games.
Early this season Hank became the
property Of the Giants. coming from
the Braves to New York with Pitcher
Jack Watson, in exchange for Catch
er Earl Smith and Pitcher Jess
Barnes. LAS a Giant he will gain
his second opportunity to figure in
the all ll-important title contests.
Hank was a conspicuous figure in
the Braves history of 1914. both dur
ing the league season and the world
series. He has been very helpful
member of the Giants this year. His
1914 world series batting average
was .535. he having registered a
home run, a triple and four doubles
in eleven times at bat. 1-H.
Gowdy was the first big league base
ball star to answer the call to. the
colors in 1917 and served through
out the war with the Ohio National
Guard Division.
Evening star., 1923-10-04

Players for Boston were T.. q. Bar
row: manager; MeTnnis. In hrst ,s,.. base: base
Scott. shortstop: Whiteman, left field;
Ruth, left field pitcher; Strunk, Center
field: Hooper. right field: Agnew,

Chicago really hadn't any business in
this series. New York had been tha-
league leader most OF the season. but
fell off toward the end when some Of
her best PLAYERS decided to go to wor;s
or to war. The Boston club had shown
its class throughout thn snasou. "''i
continued to. show it throughout the
series.
As has been said. one of the most
notable features of this series was the
players strike, called. because the
players feared they were not going to
get as much money as they had ex-
pected, when the spectators were in the
stands for the sixth and deciding game.
AS the world Series is q pure gift TO the
players In every way. the strike" was
one Of the most disgraceful exhibitions
the players had ever given. Fortuna tely
they called the strike off after a con-
ference with the national commission.
and the series was completed.
The outstanding star of this series
was Whiteman, veteran who was in
the outf1eld for Boston. He batted three
home runs and made several timely hits
in a series that was not especially con-
spicuous for hitting. His work in the
field was sterling.
Only nineteen runs were made by both
teams in the six games. a fact that
speaks well for the pitching of both
sides. Chicago did not score a run
until the second inning of the second
game, going ten innings without
score. Boston scored its first and only
run of the first game in the fourth in
ming. Thereafter that club went score
less for thirteen innings. getting no
more tallies until the ninth inning of
the second game. There were two shut
out games-the first, won by Boston.
10, and the fifth, won by Chicago, SO.
