TC7 ECRETARY OF STATE KELLOGG'S
~ refusal to allow Shapurji Saklatvala,
British member of parliament, to enter this

Royal House, surely we might stand him one

After that he roamed around the

voiced opposition to pa

voted to file protests with the

AIimony

III OWEVER much we might
III like to do so, still we cannot
LII conscienuously insist that
wemen are always right. Take, for
instance, one source Of feminine in.
come, alimony. There is something
radically wrong about our use OF
this form OF legal pickpocketing.
We all know that alimony was
intended to provide for women un.
able to work and their children, and
in a great many instances. of course.
it is an entirely just and necessary
measure.
But no abie-bodled childless. in.
telligent woman should be willing
to take a monthly allowance from
a man whom she does not consider
tlt to live with as a husband.
The prevailing I'll Of alimony comes
from the fact that so many tender
young things nowadays step to the
altar with that secret thought in
their minds. IF 1 don't ike it I can
get alimony" They marry, live with
their husbands a couple Of years or
less, get a divorce and as much all
mony as they can squeeze from him
until they find another and woolier
sheep to shear. There are lots OF
women who are frankly in the ali.
mony business. They live well by
means Of this trade.
In spite of the good it often may
render to unprotected wives and
children, one somehow harbors
sneaking suspicion that if It were
wiped off the legal slate, there would
not be as many divorces by half.
Many a wife too lazy to work would
stick by her husband If II were not
for this income after divorce and
many a husband who can salve his
conscience by giving money. would
remain with his wife rather than
feel himself a cur.
The modern woman who advocates
an intense personal freedom, and
who asks for unlimited liberty IN
marriage as well as in q state of
single blessedness, certainly has no
business getting alimony every time
she procures a divorce.
Alimony presupposes weakness
and helplessness. It is entirely out
Of line with our preaching about
equal rights and equal wrongs.
If we American women have rot
backbone enough to get out and 10
a mans work in the world. as we
contend, then we should have
enough backbone to resent the insult
that alimony filings at our ia
dependence.

Navy Day

Inn OCT 27 we will observe the 150th an
~ niversary of the inception Of the United
States Navy. It was on Oct. 81, IT'S, that
resolution was introduced in the continental
congress authorizing the purchase of four yes
sells to be used as warships. 1t was on one Of
these, the Alfred, that John Paul Jones hoisted
his first pennant in the service of the combined
colonies
Just now some criticism of our Navy is go
ing the rounds as the result of the Shenandoah
disaster. Col. William Mitchell, its most out
spoken critic, says that there has been incom-
potency and negligence in connection with the
flying branch of the service. Be that as it
may, it is still our Navy. We are proud of its
history. We are proud of the good that is in
it. We are loyal to it and if we chastse it,
our aim is to make it better.
1t is the same institution that it was in
the days of John Paul Jones. It's equipment
is far different both in character and strength
of course, but Americans, natives and adopted
respect its traditions
So on the 150th anniversary of its birth
we will conceive it to be a privilege to join in
giving it a fitting birthday party
The celebration of Navy day was first pro-
posed by the Navy league of the United States
Since then official Endorsement and co-opera-
ton have been obtained from practically all
the veterans and patriotic societies This year
the Navy Department the War Department
and the United States coast guard are to par
ticipate in observing the day.

programs for the celebration are made more

0L0-FASHI0NED
HOME LIFE

ri ENATOR WATSON. in a re-
~ cent address at TT. Wayne,
pleaded for revival Of the
old-fashioned ideals Of life and
morals-particularly the old-fash-
toned home and family life. He
believes thus can present social
ills be cured.
The oldfashioned home of a
simpler generation. where obed-
fence was enforced sternly and
rugged virtues taught, probably
had greater influence on family
character than the cafeteria homes
Of the present. But the coal oil
home can't be revived in a gasoline
and electric age.
All history is fun of such appeals
to revive old customs, manners,
morals and ideals. Not one
succeeded. Elijah the Tishbite
Numbered and Cato the Censor de-
nounced, but their generations
needed them not. Probably Jim
Watson's pleas will be equally in
effective.
The human race, following some
immutable law, is on its way up
or down. It can't stand still or
turn back. Customs, ideals, habits,
morals and mental outlook Of the
sons differ from their fathers.
In virtues and vices one generation
starts where the preceding genera
ton left off.
Movement and change are the
orders of the universe. There is no
such thing as a fixed point and
nothing comes back to the same
point it once occupied.
Even the earth never occupies
the same point in space twice.
While it is steaming around the
sun at a speed of eighteen miles
a second. the sun with all his
, planets is journeying from no
where at a speed Of twelve miles
a second.
There is no use lamenting the
passing of the old-fashioned home
life. It's gone. What society
needs for present DRESSINGS ills is
