SAFETY IN THREE WIVES
1t As That Costs Too Much In Fur lrav The NaYk Reat Is 0nA

1t As That Costs Too Much In Fur
 key The Next Best Is One
 Some philosopher long since discov- d that there must be three legs to stool; and this is true, even if, as in case of the milking stool, two of em are human. After a few aeOns, 1ntesquieu or somebody of that sort ,covered that there should be three anches to a government. It has now sn discovered that if Turk is to be Iygamous he should have three wives. sere seems to be something mysterious out this three business. It is the ystic number, under seven. All sorts
 reasons are assigned for its potency
 the cages of stools and governments. < harems the explanation is now rthcoming. although probably under 1od by Mohammedans long before it It's made plain to Westerners, says ie Argonaut.
 If there are but two wives they arrel; but when there are three, two sually combine against the third, and ter the combination changes, and anges again, and the situation is so ntinuously uncomfortable that final
 peace is reached, and stable equili- ium. That means ease and content snt for MT. Turk, and is held to be fch the better arrangement.
 But it is expensive. The high cost living initiates against it and causes tendency to reduce harems. As two ont do, the reduction is clear down
 nonogamy; and that condition hay arrived, the law is about to be ade to conform to it, wherein C Turks exhibit more real skill at zislation than their western con mporaries, who are forever trying to ake facts conform to law instead of ting law conform to facts.
 Another reason appeals to the Turk q national assembly, and that is that ture appears to have made a nearly sual division of the sexes, with the suit that if polygamy is to endure any Turks will find themselves un- ,Ie to marry on account of the scar " of women. Why this was not dis yered earlier we are at loss to un- rstand, but it is now announced with 1 the impressiveness of news. The onomic element of the problem, how CT, does not bear on all alike. In rural districts the family of three,
 even four, is an advantage from the onomic standpoint. On farms in ia Minor. wives are labor. So have ey been in this country, only Ameri- ns have had to confine themselves to wife at time, which has meant at she had to do the work divided by c Turkish husband among several.
 Tn Anotolian politics the farmer ele- ant is influential even beyond our pulist and granger movements, and . ruralities are pitching on their pes and saying they will not endure Snogamy-an irreligious, immoral. stern innovation. So does interest irp ethics. And perhaps there is no lre in it than that1only. if you con mplate poLgamy, remember that
 rkish experience indicates that three a aasier tn get along with than two.

MUSIC. AN APFRafsER's VIEW

In Poetic Flight Decides Mechanical
 Birds Are Musical Instruments
 A recent case enlivened the proceed ngs of the general board of appraisers, the body to which appealssare made in controversies as to the dutiable value of imported merchandise, says the Wall Street Journal A shipment of me chanical singing birds in brass cages was classified as musical instruments subject to n duty of 35 per cent, but the importer appealed on the ground they were manufactures of metal duitable at 20 per cent. The decision, after describing the article and stating that the notes produced are musical, continued: ''Music is the one harmonious science that dispels discord, seftens the winds and makes all nature kind. It has quick ened the step of the warrior in battle, has 'rivteted the attention of the say age on the march of his enemy, has stirred the ambitions of men to higher ideals. and caused the beauty of the human heart to speak in friendliness and love;

ECONOMY 0F REHABILITATIoN.

fECONOMY OFs kEHABlLlTATlON Crippled Men Made Wage Banners At
 Les Than Cost of Hospital Care
 In New York city thefe is an institu- tion for disabled men which has made a thorough study of the question of re- habilitating crippled workers, writes Theodore Marcione in the Brooklyn Eagle. It has carried it's work to such a success that it is able to supply the following estimate based upon expe- rience in handling some of the worst cases pronounced as hopeless by pub lie institutions:
 From, $350 to $500 will turn out a printer;s ; from S250 to .$400 will turn out draftsman; from $20O to $500 will turn out a typewriter repairer; from $175 to $500 will turn out an oxy- acetylene welder; from $150. to s$275 will turn out photograph retoucher; ]; from S125 to $250 swin turn out a jewelry makers from S100 to $200 will turn out a motion picture projectionist; i; from $25 to $75 will turn out tele- phone operator; from $S5 to $10O will purchase an artificial limb.
 By these averages we see that a dis abled man can be turned into a pro- ducer. for far less than it would keep him year in the ward of a public hos- pital or institution where he would be labeled as .'hopeless." The amount of taxes now going toward caring for this army of disabled would establish a training center in or near every city in the United States.
