AMERICANS TOO THIRSTY.

Ioyeless Marriages

During those days-about a year, say, before Mother and Mir. Hall were killed-I found myself think ing a good deal about their love for each other. The more I thought about it, the less l could see it was wrong.
 Tine reason people say terrible and cruel things in a case like that is because they don't see down under the surface If you should see woman who Is married, kissing a man who is not her husband, right away you say:
 "Brazen thing! She ought to be ashamed of herself"
 Or something like that anyhow. Perhaps if you knew her life, her disappointments and unhappiness, all her hardships and trials, and also if you knew her cincerity-that the kiss wasn't just cheap thing like part of fiirtation-you would see it all in a different light. You would feel sympathetic to those lovers, and be glad they had the love.
 Isn't 1t right to expect a little hap piness? If a woman is good and hardworking and kind to people and does her best in everything, and has q deep religion and giveA herself to it all she can, shouldn't she be given some chance to live? It is wicked to love someone, even if the someone belongs to someone else by law? And if it is wicked, how can you help it anyhow?
 I never could get through my head why people say that love is the greatest thing in the world, and yet are so hard on people who love. Either they ought not to say love is the strongest and grandest ana most beautiful thing, or else they should be more lenient about it, and forgive people when they really do love.
 Many a person commits a crime, kills someone even, and isn't pun ished for 1t. And others are mur- dered just because they loved some body they couldn't help loving.
 My brain gets numb sometimes, just trying to think it out.
 read the newspapers and see the stories, by hundreds, or rich people who don't love the men or women they are married to, and get di- vorced, and marry again, this time to somebody they do love. Is that considered disgraceful? It cer- tainly is not. But when some body poor does it, or wants to do it, they are scoffed at and sneered at, and worse.
 When this awful thing happened four years ago, and I used to read Mrs. Halls statements that she didn't know anything was going on between her husband and my mother and that her husbands love was the most beautiful thing in her life, 1t just took away my breath. No woman could possibly be mar ried to a man for all those years and not know he doesn't love her If he loves someone else, the wife must know that too. She must. Nothing else is possible.
 To this day when the staten ents come out of the hearings, and in- vestigations that Mrs. Hall had no idea MT. Hall had any particular interest 'in the choir-singer" it is like knives in my flesh. l don't know how 10 express myself but it is like denying something that is perfectly beautiful just because you can't have it yourself. Or like tear ing something to pieces because you don't want it, and so nobody else could have it.
 I am no paragon and neither was mother; she never set herself up to be. But if I knew my husband didn't

BERLIN
 Berlin. Sept. II UP--The forteth anni- versary of the invention of the German auto mobile, was fittingly celebrated by students Of Hanover Tech. They hauled out the original machine from the school museum, filled the tank with gas and drove 270 miles from Hanover to the home of Dr. Karl Benz, tho inventor in Landenburg Dr. Benz is now S3 years old.
 The trip was made without a single mis- hap. The car at times attained a speed of 21 miles an hour with two passengers. Instead of the skeptical jeers which greeted Dr. Benz on his first ride in the same car. the student drivers received an ovation alons the route. Tears were in the aged inventors eyes and thousands of hi townspeope cheered as the machine chugged up and stopped in front of his home.
