Dear Dorothy Dix: My husband seems to be tired of his family. Never has anything to say to us at home. Appears to regret his marriage, and does not care for me as he used to. He is infatuated with another woman. Do you think he will ever care for us again? I am heartbroken, as I always loved him dearly. We have grown chil- dren and my husband is middle-aged.

Just be patient. Shut your eyes to your husbands conduct Make things pleasant at home. Don't reproach him or ask questions. Don't get stampeded into getting a divorce and he will come back a chastened man, who will eat out of your hand the balance of his life.

Answer: ann
 Every woman has a right to a nished as she can possibly afford, and she should fight for it until she gets it. Her home is wom- ans kingdom. 1t is the place in which her life is passed, and her happiness depends upon her loving it, and being proud of it, and find ing her leasure in keeping it spic and span. And she can't do this if she hasn't got about her the things that her taste craves.
 It is a curious thing that good men and men who love their wives, seldon appreciate what a home means to woman. They think that, provided sh has a roof, which doesn't leak and wall that keep her warm, she should be sat

Asa reflect on this, 0. H., that when a man throws up his job he throws away the family living at the same time. You would find it a most mortifying experience to be always ex- plaining to the landlord and the butcher and baker that the reason you couldn't pay their bills was because your hus- band was out of work. And, believe me, no sort of husband gets on a com petent business wOman's nerves as won't.

 There is something intrinsically wrong with the man who doesn't stick to any thing long at a time. Either he is in and gets fired because h, does not do his work satisfactorily, ol else he is a loafer by instinct and only works long enough to get the money tt gratify some particular whim or need
 No matter how much ability that sort of man has, he never suc- ceeds. He never becomes an ex- pert. He never makes any reputa- tion for himself because about the. time he becomes useful he loses interest in his job and throws it up. The man who arrives is the man who picks out the kind of work that he feels he is best fitted for, and who sticks to it after the novelty has worn out and it becomes grind.
 Furthermore, the man who gets tired of his work and is always changing from job to job would be mighty likely to get tired of the same old wife when he had her for

VETO ADDS INSULT TO INJURY
BY THOMAS F. FLAHERTY EDITOR UNION POSTAL CLERK

President Coolidge's veto of the
postal pay bill was a grievious wrong
against a practically helpless group
of workers whose employers-the
American people - had signally and
with scarcely a dissenting voice APP
proved the legislation.
He added insult to this injury by
making a grotesque political play to
placate the postal workers and curry
their favor by announcing his willing
ness to sign new pay bill-one sci
|entifcally drawn to meet his wishes;
The president insults the intelliA
gence of the postal workers by his
implication that only with his con-
sent can they secure their just dues
an adequate pay standard. He SEEM
ingly forgets that congress, acting as
the direct representatives of the own
ers of the service, almost unanimously
agreed upon the necessity for higher
postal pay rate. The house, on June
8, and the senate, on May %, voted
with but six and three nay votes, re-
for senate bin 1898.
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1924-09-19

The president, exercising his right.
vetoed the bill. The veto message is
now before congress awaiting action
in December. We can not believe the
congress will recede from its position
because of the presidents opposition.
We confidently look to see the veto
Overridden by substantially the same
vote the bill received upon its original
passage.
If the president has any genuine re-
gard for the postal workers he should
maintain hand's-off policy, until
there is a vote on his veto. Having
temporarily defeated our wage aims,
he should not be too relentless in his
desire to impose his will on the more
or less helpless postal workers.
We are at least entitled to a clear
chance for the last big effort-a veto
vote. Mr.. Coolidge is MAX
ing it more difficult for us by his
vague gesture and belated show of
interest.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. IL
Present full time weekly earnings of
workers in the American steel indus
try are greater than they were in
1922 despite the fact that the S-hour
workday has been established in the
industry since that date, according to
the department of labor.
The 8-hour day was established
about a year ago. Thus 1922 wages
and working conditions show the sit
uatiori previous to the coming of the
S-hour day and 1924 wages and
working conditions the situation
afterward.
After an extensive study the la
Dor department has found that in five
branches of the steel industry where
the long workday prevailed, work
ers now are getting a greater wage
per week for working a shorter time
per week. In the sixth branch hours
have been reduced but 1924 wages do
not quite reach the 1922 mark.
Hours of blast furnace workers in
1922 averaged per cent less than
in 1913 and in 1924 hours averaged
l25 per cent less than in 1918. In

The fight was made in the course
Of one day, and nearly all in the
daylight.
Heavy headwinds and dangerous
crosswinds, fogs and rains hindered

made it.
The flyer ate two meals that day
one in New York the other in Cali
fornia.
The same day a Frenchman broke
the worlds speed record by flying 331
miles per hour.
A few years the Wright Broth
ers were hopping off the ground at
Kittyhawk and wondering if they
were going to get the machine they
had evolved to make a sustained
fight.
A few years hence we shall be able
to make the coast to coast fight in
half the time that Vaughan con-
sumed.
A little later we shall see that eff
fort again eclipsed by land machines
doubling the speed and adding more
certainty and absolute safety.
In other words, with utmost ease,
comfort and safety, passengers will
make the journey from coast to coast
in few hours and they will not
leave the surface of the earth.
They win skim over roads ne
smooth as plate glass, pleasingly col
ored and heated or cooled as weather
conditions may require.

music of an opera being sung in Eu

action on the stage where it is sung.
People will be in communication

Dreaming? Yes, dreaming a dream
of day after tomorrow and it will

One could elaborate endlessly on
the coming of the inventions that will

all this. It will revolutionize the
whole world and do it quickly. It

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Sept. 49,
The United States Department of
Agriculture has completed palms.
taking study Of what becomes Of the
gross income Of the American farmer
as represented by the money value Of
his annual crop production.
Data was obtained for thousands
of individual representative farmers
in each section Of the country. From
this the departments experts were
able to show the average distribution
of each dollars worth Of farm pro-
duction.
Out of each dollars worth of crops
raised 1858 cents, more than one
quarter of the dollar, went to mate
rails, equipment and maintenance of
the farm property. Ten and q half
cents represented the wages paid

hired labor, taxes were ga cents, rent
on property which the farmer OPP
orator did not own was SO cents, and
interest SIS cents.
The net cash margin on farm OPP
erations, the amount available for
living expenses and other distribu-
ton was 1871 cents. This is lower
than many industries. However, 26.6
cents in each dollars worth of pro-
duction was consumed on the farm.
If the farmer had sold all his pro-
duction, his cash margin apparently
would have been more than AZ cents.
Out of this, he would have to pay his
entire living expenses just as do OPP
orators of most industries. The con-
suming of more than one-quarter of
his production by himself and family
would reduce living expenses accord
ingly.

SOFIA, Aug. L. Albania, that

bishop of the Orthodox church.
Dramatic and unusual a. the out
come Of many Of the revolutions in

duced q stranger contrast than that
which emerged from the latest up

for four ministers are followers OF

The secret Of the success which
Bishop Fan Nollf and his associ-

their strong hold upon the common
people of Albania. Prior to the
revolution the Albanian peasantry
had been oppressed for years by q

Fy and controlled the country's po-
litical affairs. Bishop Fan NoIli
and his associates promised the
peasants relief from these condi.
tions and restored ownership OF
the land they cultivated.

Accordingly the peasants, casting
aside religious prejudices, followed
the Christian bishop. even though
a majority Of them are MoharfJiiel

premier was to seize the estates Of

known, and turn them over to the

on Saturday. night than any other
time during the week. In large
cities 1t has been found that mill
Hons more. gallons are used on
bath night than at other times.
Other facts brought out by the
survey show:
"A Chinese restaurant kitchen,
while scrupulously clean. uses only
half az much hot water as an
American kitchen Of the same size.
Dish-washing machines use more
water than dishpan and sink. but
turn out cleaner dishes.
More hot water is used where
there are servants than where there
are not.
H0kSt p9tnS are used twice an
often by transient guests as by per.
N1aneut ones.
Office employees wash regularly
at lunch time, hut not 30 regularly
ct the end Of the day.
srrnbwonlen do not use much hot
water.
The higher. the. rent, the greater
the use Of hot water In experimental.
To raise gallon Of water Zoe

Of Eag.
The most economical temperature
ct which to use hot water Is be.
tween las and $50 degrees. on ali
