like a serious malady now, but that is because it is the first time you have ever been affected this way. Later on you will have innumer- able other attacks, and you. will learn to know that they are not fatal. Love as many pretty girls as you like, but don't think about marrying for ten years yet. Then you will know how to pick out the kind of a wife that you will stay in love with for keeps.

Answer:
 No, Troubled, I don't think you would forget him. l. think you would remember him to the longest day you live as modern Blue beard who tried to lock you up in a closet, and that every time you thought of him you'd fall down on your knees and thank God that you had escaped out of his clutches. A man must be insane who thinks that he can take a nineteen-year-old girl, in these days of emancipation of women, and ,shut her up in a house as if she were a prisoner. Certainly any girl who submits to such treatment de- all, in a home for the feebleminded, No husband who cared a rap for you would treat you that way. He would know that being young you must have pleasure and society and many inter ests in your life, and he would want you not only to go to see your mother every day, but for you to have plenty of young company and amusement.
 No woman should gad around so mucn tnaC sne neBlecLS ner house. work or fails to provide her hus- band with good, well-cooked meals, but after she has done that she is all the better for going about. It keeps her health. cheerful and up to date, and makes her a more in- teresting companion with whom to live.
 There is no virtue in staying at home unless you are usefully em- ployed in the home. On the con- trary, the stay-at-home women in- variably get dull and narrow, and whiny, and complaining, because they've nothing to think about but themselves and their own ailments and troubles.
 Matrimony is a partnership, and it should be conduced on a fifty-fifty basis. There is no place in it for tyrants and slaves, and every woman should demand fair play of her hus- band as a condition of her remaining a member of the firm.
 Therefore I certainly think you

Assured Success Is Get.;:aOut The
 Vote Luncheon

The success of the luncheon which the League of Women Voters will give on September IF, and to which invita- tions have been sent to every state wide ofganization,' both men and wo- men, is assured because of the hearty response of the representatives from the organizations of Alabama.
 Mrs. W. D. Nesbitt, chairman for the luncheon, is enthusiastic oyer the prospects of the affair. "If we can arouse the citizens of the state to the importance of using their franchise the league will have done more in interest of real citizenship than anything they can do," said Mrs. Nesbitt. It is really one of the world tragedies that the people do not realize the' importance of going to the polls on election days and expressing an opinion regarding those who running for office and the, issues at stake which have such a large bearing upon the affairs of state and nation. We are so gratified that those organizations of statewide interest are responding to the invitation to have a representative present at the luncheon. We hope that program will be sug-
  awaken the civic consciences of the peo- pie of the entire state. Of course it is too late now for those who have not done so to register and vote in the com ing elections, but if we can get the qualified voters to go to the polls and make others who have not had an awakening pledge themselves to regis ter when the time comes we will indeed be gratified."
 Mrs. Nesbitt has, since the beginning of the organization of women for suf- frage, been one of the states leading suffragists. It is befitting that she should have been selected as the hostess for the league luncheon, and that she should serve on the state league board as chairman of the social committee. The Get Out the Vote" luncheon will be the feature of next weeks combina- tion of the civic and social life in this city. It will take place at the Tutwiler hotel, and there will be representatives from many organizations of the state and a number of Birmingham women who are members of the state board.

Answer

Answer:
 Certainly not, son. It will do you a lot <of good to go with nice girl who is so much older than you are. It is an education for a lad of your age to fall in love with girl who is older than he is and who has seen more of the world than he has.

It means, unless there is plenty of money that the wife not only has to nurse an invalid, but she has to go out and make the money to support him, and nothing costs like sickness. Also invalids are, naturally enough, preoc- cupied with their own misery, so they become selfish and irritable and diff ficult to get along with. Especially, sick men are like sore-headed bears, so I fear you could not depend upon get ting much brilliant conversation from your highly educated lover if he should qualify in the chronic" class.

 Well, Anxiety, since you have sucf a well-disciplined heart that you car make it do your bidding, should cer tainly transfer my affections to No. 2 He seems to me to be by long odds tho best bet in your matrimonial race.
 Any man who has reached mid dle-age without having definitely settled himself in business is pretty poor chance for a woman to take as a meal ticket. Further more, it takes a great and over whelming love to offset lack of the comforts and luxuries of life. "All for love, and the world well lost" is an inspiring sentiment in poetry, but in real life we find that it takes a lot of bread, and meat, and potatoes, and clothes, and rent money to get us to the place where we are ready to love.
 Also marrying a man who has poor health is about the most fool hardy thing any woman can do.

Morley and Means
Lead in State Contests

The Indicated results of Tues
days primary election in Colorado
bears out the prediction that this
would be year of mary political
surprises.
The most unexpected results are
the apparent elections of Morley for
governor and Rice Means for SEN
ator-both Ku Klux Khan candi-
dates and both low men in the Re-
publican state assembly vote. Nor.
ley's majority may be accounted for
in organized Khan support in Den
yer and the failure of the rural
districts to get out the vote for
Rockwell. who was virtually the
choice of the state at large. Means
success is undoubtedly the result
OF Khan and American Legion work,
with the probable assistance OF
Democratic voters who cast Repub-
lican ballots.
Rio Grande county Republicans
supported the choice Of the state as
sembly. although the interest In
the contests was manifested by q
light vote.
In the Democratic ranks the only
contest participated In locally was
that OF district judge. In this con-
test. Wiley appears to be the sue.
cessfuf candidate. having about zoe
majority over Ellithorpe. but with
COstilla and Conejos counties yet
to be heard from.

periments which he wraps in ro-
