 married woman can play around with other men as a single girl does without being gossiped about.
 When people get married they bind themselves to go with one per- son for life. That is what marriage means, and it is pity you find it tiresome, for you can't have your cake and eat it, too.
 Your trouble is the common trou- ble of girls who marry too soon.
 They haven't had their playtime They are not ready to settle down They want lots of fun, lots of admirers, lots of variety, and they are bored when they are forced to narrow their life down to their own homes and one man, and walk the sedate gait of domes- ticity.
 And they get tired of their hus- bands, because their tastes are con tinually changing. The man they fan cy one day they cant abide the next. It is too bad, because you cant swap husbands as easily as you can casual callers. You have made the mistake of marrying too early, but you should be good sport and make the best of your bargain. Your husband seems good and kind, and if he is willing to take you out himself you must consider him as your permanent date, and thank heaven that you are lucky enough to have one who is willing to go at all, instead of expecting you to stay at home. There are plenty of husbands that do, you know.
 And quit thinking of other men.
 Put them outside of your life and
 realize that you are done with
 flirtations. You wouldn't like your
 husband to be running around with
 other girls, so play fair with him.
 We women have one curious fac ulty. We can think ourselves into anything, or out of anything. So instead of letting your mind dwell on how tiresome it is to be tied to one man, concentrate your thoughts on how good and kind he is and how lucky you are in having him
 to stand between you and the world. It is up to. you to make your marriage a success or a fail

No, Bill. my advice to you is to have a real heart-to-heart talk with your mother and tell her that boy of six teen mustn't be tied too tightly to his mothers apron strings, and that she should get you some good clothes such as the other boys have, and let you play around with the boys and girls.

 Dear Miss Dix: I am boy of six teen and 1 am thinking of running away from home and going west to be a moving picture cowboy. Would you do it if you were me? I want to go to work and 1 don't want to go to school. What would you do?
 There is a girl lives near me who says she will run off and go west with me if l will promise to marry her. Would you bite? My mother won't let me go to see the girls and I am awful blue and lonesome. What would you do? DOWNHEARTED BILL. Answer:
 Well, Bill, if were you I would just take out my cowboy complex in goin gto see Bill Hart and Tom Mix and let it go at that. There are about million sixteen-year-old boys like you who also want to be moving-picture cwboys, and there is only about one in hundred thou sand of them that ever even gets
 to Hollywood. And his folks most ly have to send him money to come
 Dack uOme OH.
 Every boy of your age wants to be a cowboy or a pirate or something like that, but the impulse passes and he stays at home and comes to keeping a nice butcher shop or runs bank, and is spoken of as 'one of our leading citi- zens."
 Don't run away from home. Be- lieve me, there is nothing in that except sleeping on a park bench and
 walking the railroad ties and be-
 ing footsore and hungry and dirty and having nowhere to go.
 Better stick to a home, even if the rules are pretty strict and mother makes you come home at s o'clock every night and won't let you go to see the girls. But she is mighty good cook and makes the best pies i'll town. It is a. comforting thing to have a home to go to at night, and mother is some thing to tie to.
 And I wouldn't think of such thing as running off with girl and marrying her. You cant think what a nagging thing wife is, Bill. She is lots bossier than mother, and she wouldn't know how to make cookies, nor be any earthly use to you. You would get tired to death of her, but you couldn't leave her. And after while you would see some other girl you liked better,
 and then you would be in pretty
 fix with wife yO: couldn't get
 rid of.

 That is the real way to make fame and fortune and it is a sure way, instead of being a million to-one shot at trying to be movie actor is. DOROTHY DIX. Dear Miss Dix: I have been married twenty-five years and have three daugh- ters. l married a poor man and I have done everything in the world to help him-cooking, washing, sewing, always hoping that my husband would recognize my help in his success, and that when things became easy he would make it easy for me. But now, al though he is well off, I am still the slave for the family, and rarely get through my days work before 9 o'clock. My husband wastes money on horse-a racing and poker, and throws it around generally to show off, while my girls and l hardly have decent clothes to wear, and 1 have to make them all. He says everything is his. What can do? VERA. Answer:
 Of course, Vera, it is cold comfort to you to say that the position you find yourself in is your own fault.
 You should have started out your married life by demanding a fair share of the family income. As you did not do that, you will have to use drastic measures to bring your husband to terms, and my ad- vice to you is to present an ultima tum to him. Tell him that you know he able to afford you the de- cent comforts of life, and that you are going to have them, and that he can either give you an allowance or you will go and buy what you need for yoursel fand your daughters and have the things charged to him. Your husband would not like the public to know how he treats you. and you cen always bluff that sort of man by threatening him with a scandal.
 This isn't pleasant for a wife to do, but it is better than doing without.

drop. the net income Of $35,722 repre-
senting a decrease Of $4,000 from
the corresponding month of last year.
and comparing with $72,198 returned
In May. Report for the month was
filed with the Public Utilities Com

$364,356. expenses totaled s27o.2S2
and deductions amounted to $32.733.
Taxes to the extent Of $26,S76 were
deducted.
The decrease in revenue was caused
primarily by a falling off in pay pas
sengers, total Of 5.l44.566 being
carried in 1924, as against 5.25S,797
last year.
Local Stocks Strong.
The general trend Of prices on the

strong today. several issues making
new highs for the present movement.
Among these were Washington Gas
Light stock, which sold at SO, and

Der Of shares per subscription to the
