Two Fires over the Week End

The Gardiner fire department had
two calls over the week end, both Tor
blazes started from carelessly dis
carded cigarettes. The first call was
at 1.30 Saturday morning for a fire in
one of the piers of the Gardiner-Ran-
dolph bridge. and the pumper and crew
found it quite task to get 1t under
control. The other was early Sunday
afternoon when a pile of rubbish UNI
derneath the Randolph end of the
bridge was ignited, and burned merrily
before it was extinguished by the
combined efforts of both the Gardiner
and Randolph departments.

Piano Recital Held
SATURDAY. at c.. H. S.

The annual piano recital of the pu-
pills of Miss Edith w. Page was held
in the Gardiner High school audito-
rum at 2.30 Saturday afternoon before
a large audience. All of the numbers
showed that considerable work and

Women Cruel to Fallen"

Real feminism to me means a per-
feet solidarity among women, an up
holding of those who have been tram
pied underfoot and thrown aside be-
cause they loved not wisely but too
well.
Men are much more "solidair" with
one another. They hold firmly to-
gether-make a block. Therefore are
they stronger.
Women are catty toward one an
other, rather enjoy another's disaster
and they are generally the first to
shut their doors to the erring sister
who has put herself beyond the pale.
Should we not rather stretch out
our hands toward her and help her
back to happier ways, get men to see
that she need not, becaus once gone
astray, be an outcast forever and aye?
If we are to create a new world,
why should we not try to create it
truer, more honest, less pharisaic,
with less pretense?
Marriage would be more perfect,
more real, more durable, and, in the
case of an unhappy marriage, more
bearable, if man and wife could be
better friends, lenient, more patient,
more understanding and forgiving.
Love does not last at a degree of
ecstacy for very long, yet marriage is
supposed TO laSC 1Or lie, DuC nOellLy
does not seem to have been decreed
by nature.
Therefore when the moment comes
when loves flame burns less brightly,
at that dangerou moment when it so
ca silly goes out, could we not with un-
derstanding hands trim 1t into friend
ship?
Husband and wife know each other
so overwell, have the same home, the
same interests, are parents of the
same children-what a splendid basis
upon which to erect a beautiful, un-
derstanding, helpful friendship. Why
surround their attitude toward each
other with so much falseness? When
passion has died down in both hearts,
why not like two good friends be for
giving and lenient? Why not be un-
derstanding, even toward other pas
sions that might arise in the lives of
the one or the other?
Friendship Saves Marriage.
Would it not be wonderful to be
able to turn to the one you know
best and confess to him or her your

WELSH PREPARING
WHEELER. DEFENSE
Senator Comes to Capital for Two
Weeks to Lay Plans
for Trial.

Senator Walsh Of Montana. who has
just returned to Washington from the
West, said today that he would remain
in Washington for two weeks and that
during that time he would give care
full consideration to the plans for the
defense of Senator Wheeler Of Mon
tana, who is under indictment here,
charged with conspiracy to defraud
the Government in connection with oil
lands In the West. Senator Walsh
acted as chief counsel for Senator
Wheeler in his trial in Montana, where
he was acquitted. The Montana case
revolved around the same set of cir
cumstances as that brought against
Senator Wheeler in the District of Co.
lumbia, although the charge was vio-
latton of law which prohibits a Mem
Der of Congress from receiving a fee
for appearing for clients before the
executive departments of the Govern
ment. 1t is expected that Senator
Walsh will spend part of the Summer
in Europe.

torment or your joy, instead of hav-
ing to hide it away beneath a thou
sand lies and deceits? To be able,
hand in hand, to talk 1t over. to find
help and comfort, protection even,
perhaps, at the hour of danger?
The only real impediment that
can see is that love does not always
die in both hearts at once.
Too close living together is mis-
take-and yet long absences, have
their danger. Freedom is sweet and
it is sometimes difficult to break up
old ties.
There is a very expressive Ru-
manian proverb which says: Never
can we know from out of what
corner the hare may spring" and
many a hare may spring up out OF
odd corners when we wander about
all alone.
But of this I am sure: Divorce
would be much less necessary II a
bigger dose of friendship could be In
fused into marriage-if man ana
woman could learn to be more honest
with each other, more like equals and
companions, woman using less of her
wiles and man handling more lightly
his rights.
Life is a stony road. We ought one
and all to be more helpful toward
one another, more understanding, ana
if Christs command about forSiVing
our brother 10 times had been
obeyed a little more readily, I am
sure we would find this world hap
pier and brighter place.
