Dorothy Di1's Letter Boz
Has Maaa Who KrsoWs That He Can Never Be c Gloaoing Success The Right To Ask c Girl To Share His Mediocre Life? Can Jack And JiU Mnrru And SELL Keen Their IgfIeDendent Liyes2

day morning at 10 80. at the Independ' ent Presbyterian church.
 for a lasting happiness is impossible, as the majority of people with whom we have discussed, our plan do?
 JACK AND GILL.
 Answer: think, my dear Jack and Jill, that any such marriage li- cense as you propose taking out should have divorce coupon attached to it. and I would earnestly suggest Reno to you as a nice, suitable place togo on your wedding journey.
 But why marry, if you do not care enough for each other to be willing to give up your youthful flirtations and settle down to the serious business of life? Believe me, marriage is no safe guard to those seeking diversion outside the home limits. On the contrary, it adds thousand per cent to the penal ties.
 The happiness of marriage con- sists to great extent on husbands and wives being big enough and broad enough to grant each other a large degree of personal liberty. No man can be happy with a wife who makes him. punch the home time- clock on the dot, who raises ructions every time he goes out an evening, and who gets green-eyed if he speaks to another woman. Nor can any woman be happy with a husband who keeps her irnmured in the home as if she were slave in a harem, and wht throws fits of jealousy if she dances with another man.
 But this is far cry from a husband and wife having the liberty to carry or love affairs with other women and men You will find all your pretty theories shot to pieces the first time you catch another man kissing your wife or writ ing her love letters, and she will be ready to scratch out the eyes of the hussy you take out joy-riding.
 Marriage means possession. It is monopoly and we cannot calmly ob- serve others .poaching on our pre- serves. Besides, the honor of your name is involved. You will see red when you behold that being dragged In the dust. You cannot eat your cake and have 1t, too; nor be mar ried and retain the freedom of your bachelor days. Don't attempt the inn possible. DOROTHY DIX.
 Dear Dorothy Dix-When I was mar. ried my father gave me a farm. My husband has sold that farm and with the money bought another, which he promised to put in my name. But he put 1t in his own name, and refuses to give me a penny, although I have work. ed very hard during all the twenty years we have been married. My husband is a wan who is highly respected for his

Penalties Any Fraud on

Proposal to make every war CRATER
guilty of treason under the federal
statutes is made in bill introduced
Yesterday by Representative Woih OF
Missouri.
He proposes to include in the stat
utesr a provision that every person
who, during any war period, gratis
on or defrauds this government by
unlawful taking. adulteration, sub
stitution of an inferior article. short
weights, conveying to others any
government property, violation OF the
provisions of any contract or by any
other method gratis on or dsfrauds
the government In any way on any
war materials, equipment or supplies
to be used by our military Or nava!
forces, shall be deemed guilty OF
treason"
Graft After Every War.
After every war the country has
been scandalized and horrified by the
disclosures of graft and fraud per-
petrated against the government"
Representative wolff declares. This
happened after the civil war, during
and after the Spanish h-American war
and during this war.
The people of the United States
are raising hell today about high
taxes. fully 25 per cent of which are
due to profiteering, grating and
stealing during the war and after the
world war. We will be burdened for
several generations with taxes on this
account.
THE oil steal affecting our Navy
is now shaking our government to
It's very foundation. and our people
are beginning to wonder who can be
trusted.
Death Penalty Favored.
This bill will overcome the desire
in the future OF the interests to see
war. and If the death penalty Is in
flicted In one or two cases for viola
tions in the event of war it will re-
move the true cause for much of-the
present high taxes.
This legislation \should have been
enacted years ago together with a
war referendum along the lines Of a
bill which I have introduced on this
subject. Let the lightning strike
where or whom 1t may. Men of all
parties want cleanup and the
guilty punished, and SO I feel that
there Is not an official of any party
who can afford to oppose this BILL"

New York S Newest.

A NEW theatrical producer has been
4 added to Broadway's ever-grow-
ing list. His name is Herman Cant
WORT, and his debut will occur on or
about December s, with Fools Gold"
a new play by Barry Corners. author
of strange Bedfellows.' "Apple-
sauce" and THE Dreamer" which
will feature Edmund Breese.
Herman Gantvoort. according to
no less an authority than Robert Ed
gar Long, is going to cut a wide
swath through New York's theatrical
field. The new Conners play is but
one of a stack which he has up his
producing sleeve, and all are by men,
bers of the younger group of play
wrights.
Mr.. Gantvoort for a number of
years was prominent in the concert
field both as a singer and composer.
He first came to New York to sing
Victor Herberts "Madeap Duchess"
Later he entered the motion picture
field, and in association with Laurens

first stereoscopic motion pictures. He

long absence, Monday night, Decem-
Der l, to the National Theater, in
Frederick Lonsdale's sparkling COM
edy. Aren't We ALP" a noted sue
cess of the Gaiety Theater, New York,
last season.
The play concerns young wife
who takes a trip to Egypt, leaving
her husband at home, and he, while
worrying about her continued alb
sence, is caught in the tolls of a
young woman. Giving her a friendly
kiss, he is discovered in the act by
his wife. Lord Grenham, a philan-
derer, endeavors to heal the breach
between his son and his wife, and
through a convenient coincidence dis
covers that she had a similar expert
ence abroad. Really husband and
wife were innocent victims of sud-
den impulse to commit the indiscre-
cretions. These and other episodes
are used by the author to illustrate
his idea that human beings are not
infallible when temptations at certain
times occur in their lives.
An excellent company includes Gym
thia Brooks, Marguerite st. John,

She has been equally successful in
musical plays and drama, but for two
years she has been a screen star,

than baby -vampS'' or cigarette

heroine Of the Lass o. Laughter" is
sweet, innocent and old-fashioned.
The comedy develops through the
Lass sudden change in station, from
a clearinghouse slavey to young
and aristooratic heiresE The drama
comes when 1t is discovered that Lass
is not really the rightful heir-that
Is heiress-and meantime romance
has introduced itself and the plot be-
comes tense.
Mr.. Savage has made this his first
production of the season and has
given his newest star. a fine support

are laid in Glasgow and outside of

great comedy success in the London
