The Failure Of The Henpecking Wife-The Young Man Who Thinks That Marriage Doesn't Matter-The Wife Whose Wartime Hero Is Rotter"

good name tc gratify his fancy, Bar bara. Don't do 1t, as you value your own soul and your life's happiness. Take your stand on what our Eng fish friends call their marriage lines, and tell him that the man who gets you has to come across with a we'd ding ring and bell and church and all the appurtenances of respectabil- ity.
 Dear Dorothy Dix: My father. and mother are very well-to-do people and I was brought up to have every comfort and luxury. When the war came on I married, as so many other girls did, in a frenzy of patriotism. wanted my husband to know that someone waited for him and loved him alone.
 l knew that my husband was poor, and when he returned from the war I set out tC help him. I became a good and economical cook. l kept house on the least possible amount of money, made all of my own husband a success. Only he wouldn't bec ome one He thought that my father should set him up in business. and resented 1t when he wouldn't do it.
 Then he decided that he would like
 
 night, so I encouraged him and was little more economical so that he could go. But he wasted our little money buying goCd cigars, playing poo and so on. Said he was so tied down he had to do that to relax. When he was supposed to be at col lege at night, coming home at or in the morning, he was really run ming around with girls.
 We have two children now. Be- fore the second was born I found out about his affairs with other women. It was an awful blow be- cause I am young and good looking myself and keep myself attractively dressed on next to nothing, and keep my home clean and tidy and always have appetizing food Cn my table.
 I have tried to figure out where I have failed my husband, but I can't. Perhaps if I had been wasteful. have thought more of me. What do you think? ANONYMOUS.

She can work no miracle by which she can infuse energy, ambition and purpose into a weak, pleasure loving nature; nor can she implant a sense of honor and duty into a man who has no prin- ciples. No task Is so thankless as trying to help such a man. He in- variably hates his wife for 1t because sh- Is a living reproach to him.

POISON BOOZE SELLERS
TO GET PUNISHMENT
Five State Legislatures Consider Laws
to Make Selling of Poison
Liquor Manslaughter.

(By Associated Press Leased Wirel
Chicago, Ill. Five mid-western
state legislatures have passed or are
considering bill to punish sellers of in
toxicants that cause death. The pen
atty imposed is either murder or
manslaughter sentence, and in some
cases applies equally even to liquor
given away.
The drive against poisonous liquor
IS the common denominator of all the
legislation proposed to strengthen
prohibition laws in more than a dozen
midwestern states, which this week
are mostly entering the important ac-
tive sessions.
Michigan has pending bill making
the sale of liquor that causes death
manslaughter, while in Indiana bill
making the penalty murder for selling
or giving away fatal liquor was in
definitely postponed.
Other legislation embraces variety
of proposed enforcement laws with few
instances of wet activity. In Wiscon-
sin vets have announced that they
propose to try to make it illegal to
search for liquor except on absolute
knowledge of manufacture for sale.
Minnesota has pending joint reso-
luton to ask Congress not to modify
the Volstead law.

STILL SITTING. UP
Miss Evelyn Lyons Thinks She Has
the Whole World Beat on
Temperature.

(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
Escanaba, Mich. = At the end of the
18th day of battling illness which has
run her fever up to ia degrees and
more, Miss Evelyn Lyons, 80, Escanaba,
sat up this morning in her chair, still
protesting against her confinement and
still maintaining the astounding ther-
mometer reading.
Il think / have the whole world beat
on temperatures" the girl told news
papermen who came to see the odd
case. "But I am getting more or less
tired of having thermometers to 'eat'
all the time. am hungry and want
something to eat"
According to DR.. Harry Defnet, the
attending physician, the girl spent a
fairly restful night, although her
strenuous protestations against con-
finement weaken her.
According to Ivan English, editor of
the Escanaba Daily Mirror, two deli
cate thermometers, which were tested
and approved by the United States bu-
reau of standards to a reading of 100
degrees, were used by DR.. Deftnet and
his assistants late last night to de-
termine the exact temperature of the
girl. After taking the reading in every
way known to medical science, Mr..
English stated, it was found that Miss
Lyons temperature reached 115 de-
grees. Care was also taken against
mistakes, Mr.. English said, the read
ings on the thermometer being ground
in glass so as to avoid contact with
foreign substances.
