spending his life with . wife who has chip on her shoulder and who is al- ways spelling for a fight.
 High temper also disgusts man. A woman with her face distorted with fury and her tongue saying venomous words is as repulsive a sight to him as is drunken woman.
 Slovenliness in woman is disgust ing to man.
 sien don't even like dangling ribbons and loose clothes on a woman. They like her to he shipshape. and neat, and tidy. and trim. and taut, and they are repulSed by blousy hair, and runoyer heels, and soiled finery.
 Men don't like morbid women, who are always vivisecting themselves and their emotions, and they flee from d teary woman who is forever telling her grievances as they would from the plague.
 Men don't like vain women who ex- pect to be flattered. They loathe sar- castle women who make cutting speeches, and they abominate women who talk too much and who monologue along by the hour about their own achievements and what grand families they came from.
 And it certainly disgusts a man for a woman to run after him openly. so that everybody perceives it and specu- lates about whether she will be able to catch him or not. But. on the other hand, it pleases him for her to stealthily stalk him down, thereby let ting him know that she considers him big game that it is worth her while to capture.

 But you can circumvent him as did one wife I knew. Every night she took away all of the clothes her hus- band had worn that day, and locked them up in closet. Then she put out a complete outfit for him, fresh linen, clothes pressed to a razor edge. newly polished shoes. It was no more trou- ble for husband to put these on than the others, and so she sent him forth immediately dressed in spite of him. self. DOROTHY DIX.

Something Which Money
 Cannot Buy
By SOPHIE IREME Loss

An old man bemoans the fact that he has lost his young wife. He tells how he surrounded her with every luxury, denying her nothing. and let ting her have her way in all matters" |" He says that though her life was easy, where before 1t had been so difficult, he get nothing but ingratitude for his pains.
 When, oh when, will men realize, and women, too. that there is one thing in the world that they cannot buy-lOve. Men delude themselves with the notion that if they lavish money and jewels and create comforts that love will come as . reward. And they gre astonished when some other man comes along who has done nothing for the woman, and she is ready to let everything go and join such a one.
 The truth is that such men have been miserably fooled. The woman in the case usually flatters the man and pretends to care great deal for him, when all she is looking for is the things he is buying for her.
 Instead of the real thing he has bought a gold brick" This is most often the case when the very rich old fellow marries a young and pretty girl. On her side of it, youth barters beauty | and for little while the glamour and glitter of it all intrigues her and she bears with her husband, knowing he is the source of all her new joys.
 But she cannot give him love be- cause it isn't in her to give. She may give everything else but that, and soon- CT or later he finds it out, because it is a thing that cannot be hidden for long Love may be blind, but with marriage there is second sight.
 knew of father who tried to buy the love of his children, but he never succeeded. This father was separated from the mother and the court gave the custody of the children to her. He made very little provision for the mother and she lived on the topmost floor of a walk-up apartment.
 He was permitted to have the chill dren for certain periods of the year. During these times he lavished every luxury upon them and gave them pleas ures' they could not possibly get when they were with their mother.
 For a time in their very early years they enjoyed going to their father be- cause he satisfied their material child ish cravings. But now that they have grown little older and are able to reason for themselves, they cling to their mother more and more and love their father less.
 The great loves of the world are those in which each had rather give than take-in which sacrifices and struggles have been made to retain that love and no material things in the world can take the place of it.
 When you love it is because you can't help it.

II himself because he is giving them a good time.
 Men like women who know how to work them artistically. who know just what to say to flatter them and just how to stroke their fur the right way so that they purr under their hands. Men like women who dress well and whom they are proud to be seen out with, women who know how to dance and play cards. who are good at out door sports, and who don't ruin every game they sit in
 The women men like best are the jolly, sweet, nice women, who are too brainy. not too competent in any line, who are easy to get along with. and who do not make too many demands on either their time or their purses.
 A girl queers herself with man when she tells about the other men who were in love with her because he knows that she will tell other men about him. And no man, unless he is a cad, ever tells one girl about another The unforgivable crime is to kiss and tell. DOROTHY DIX.
 Dear Dorothy Dix-I am engaged to be married to a young man who is everything in the world he should be, except that he is slovenly in his per sonal appearance. Sometimes, am really ashamed of him when meet him unexpectedly on the street. 1 don't like to tell him about this for fear of hurt ing his feelings. and he never takes the hint when 1 discourse about how at-. tractive it is to see man looking we'll dressed.
 What in the world shall do about it: SALLY. Answer: It is a curious thing, Sally, that men who are so easily disgusted by slouchines in a woman's appearance so seldom realize that women hate untidi- men hate it in woman. But such is the case.
 No man could stay in love with woman whom he saw habitually with unkempt hair and sloppy shoes and a dirty wrapper. No man would feel impelled to kiss a woman with cold cream on her face. Yet there are un. told numbers of men who consider that home is a place to take off their coats and their collars and their shoes and to sit around in state of slovenly un- dress that would disillusion any wom- an who wasn't stone blind.
 It is pity that men don't under stand more about the psychology of clothes, and realize that if they want to keep fastidious women in love with them they have got to dress in a way to enhance their charms. Not only

Stains on knife handles may be removed by rubbing with paste of whiting and turpentine.
 To remove streaks left in white clothes, wash in clear water to which little ammonia has been added.
 Iodine dropped on unstarched material makes brown or yellow stain. The presence of starch causes the stain to become deep blue or black, while ironing the cloth sometimes turns the stain a dark brown. The method of re- moving these stains depends upon whether starch is present. Wash the stain in an abundance of wa ter or, soak it for a number of hours in cold water. The stain can be removed also by wetting with water and drying in a warm place, such as over a radiator, re- beating if necessary.

Sousa s,5Concert
 To Be Gala E.v C nt

With the Jefferson theatre closed to- day, the weather bright and beautiful and people coming in as they always do or Saturdays for shopping and amuse- rhents the two concerts of Sousa's hand this afternoon and evening promises to be gala events in the life of the peo- pie of the entire district.
 The soloists for the two occasions are among the best of their instruments in the world. So those who do not care for ensemble music will have their tastes satisfied with the splendid solo work of the violinist, the xylophonist, the cornetist, vocalist and others.
 The personality of Lieutenant Com mander John Philip Sousa is . most ir- teresting one. A man sought by so- ciety in every part of the world as splendid exponent of the American gen tleman. A superb reconteur, decorated by royalty of many countries for his musicianship, intimately associated with the diplomats of this and foreign countries and withal as sparkling and bright as his marches themselves. No wonder he and his organization are al- ways greeted by thousands.
 Commander Sousa will be the guest at luncheon of the Shrine club. of whose organization he is a member and has dedicated his most recent march to. at the Tutwiler hotel at 1 o'clock. The Boys Industrial school band will sere- rade him during the luncheon hour in front of the hotel and escort him to the Masonic auditorium, where his concert for the afternoon will be given. In the evening hundreds are looking forward to his interpretation of MT. Galhager and Mir. Sheean, and his bands playing of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. So not only those who live in the city are fortunate in having such delightful event in prospect but those who are regular Saturday visitors and those who are coming from Anniston, Gadsden, Tuscaloosa and other cities also have d treat in store in the days entertain ment. An interesting incident of his coming is the fact that the Boys band of the Birmingham High school will meet him at the train and escort him to his hotel. All Avondale bands will also greet thes distinguished band leader.

Lost Mines in Arizona

OF all the legends Of buried treasure,
the most persistent is the one about the
lost gold mines of Arizona. Only the
Indians are supposed to possess the
secret Of this battling mystery, although
the story has been circulated for more
than century.
That there once were mines In the
region is Indicated by references found
In early Spanish diaries and by the
tales passed down through several gen.
erations of natives who were compelled
to dig the ore as slaves of their con-
Querors The chief evidence In sup
port of the tradition is the altar of the
San XAVIER mission. not far from Tue
son. 1t is described as being "inlaid
with virgin gold. Mission records
show that the precious metal was
brought from Canada del Orc where it
was mined by Indians under the direc-
ton of Spanish priests.
But no trace now exists of the dig
gings, and the old tran over which the
gold is said to have been carried by
pack mules disappears abruptly in the
ands.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.
