daughters, leave a certain income so
tied up that it cannot be stolen
from them. A good trust company
or the right insurance policy will
help to do that.
or the women made widows by the
~ Shenandoah, all but two must
work for a living. Ignorant and in
competent men in the Navy Depart
ment, ignoring the warnings of Com
mander Lansdowne, made them
widows. The government ought to
support those women as long as they
live. Some congressman should pre-
pare a bill with that in mind. Such
bill might make it possible in Con-
gress to wipe the coat Of whitewash
from the Shenandoah investigation
and find what really happened.
DOLAND would like Henry Ford
= for president, or king. Henry
Ford, however, is like the British
farmer whose clergyman told him he
was soon going to heaven. The
farmer did not want to 60 to heaven,
he wanted to stay here and rib his
whitc-faced mare that went ''tip top"
over the fences.
Henry Ford would rather stay at
Dearborn and be king of the great
est industrial enterprise ever created.
LORDS work in the aircraft is to
1 this natiop a blessing of which
the importance cannot be exagger-
atcd. 1t may mean the difference be-
tween defeat and victory in the next
war, or more probably it may mean
that for America there will not b.
any next war.
kHR. FORD offers to build for the
IVA government at a cost Of $500
600 an ail-metal dirigible, $50 feet
long. 1t is the type Of aircraft that
the world needs, can fly 1000 miles
without coming down. 1t represents
common sense and economy.
There is no doubt that President
Coolidge will accept Mr.. Ford's offer
lie was among the very first TO
praise and encourage Henry Ford s
aircraft plans. "
THE Protestant Episcopal Church
i House Of Bishops definitely re-
moves obey from the marriage
ceremony. Many married ladies
had already removed it from the
routine Of daily life, common sense
telling them that if marriage is not
an equal partnership, 1t isn't much.
THE old idea about women is
i dying out not too soon, British
husbands no longer are allowed to
beat their wives with a stick mo
thicker than the thumb" The
French unwritten law gave fathers
authority over their children, accord
ing to Westermarck, on the theory
that the child was the property of
the mother, and the mother was the
property of the father.
Breach Of promise cases prove that
old men become foolish and old wo-
men have to be very patient.
IN New York City a group of fool
L ish young men seek to charter a
corporation to encourage atheism,
and destroy the power of church and
clergy.
Quite a program but the judge
wouldn't let it go through.
TN Russia on the other hand,
i delegation Of orthodox priests and
bishops begged the government "for
an equal civil status with citizens
of the soviet state.
The priests asked the right to pub
lisa religious literature and have
for their children (priests of the
Greek church marry the same edu-
cation as is given TO the children of
peasants. The Russian government
says NO.
A GAIN yesterday Wall Street
"a celebrated 100000 share
dny. A seat on the stock exchange
has sold for S135,000. 1t is record
price, but cheap when you considep
that it makes the purchaser one Of the
happy 100 that make "one-eighth
Of one per cent" on the nations
stock speculations. It's n valuable
seat for n man with sound nerves, n
cool head, able to leave gambling to
his clients. But it is not easy to find
100 men of that kind.
