is very careful about its tributes to
men, and particularly so in its use
Of the word good" as applied to
men.
We are sometimes very careless in
our use Of this word. We speak Of
a man being "a good fellow" "a
good sport" when all we mean is
that he is genial, sociable, 4 hale

life was but the fruit Of the spiritual

A
Wonan's
Viewpoint
WIVES THAT STICK
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

H-7O one is astonished that the
LIN wife Of Los Angeles minis
L. ter should declare that she
will stand by her husband during
bis trial for attempting to force his
attentions upon young woman of
that city.
For even in this age, when women
come in all sorts Of strange guises
from bathing beauties to bandits
many a man lives to find out that
bis only real friend on earth is his
tried and tested wife.
God so made good women that
their faith and their loyalty is their
most outstanding characteristic z
Almost every day we can read Of
women sticking by their husbands
during trials charging everything
from petit larceny to murder. The
wives Of years go on soothing their
husbands broken spirits even as
they have always tended their ply
steal wants; they bind UP the wounds
Of their souls as they have always
ininistered to their bodily sufferings.
Such wives are hold-overs form the
Victorian age; from a time when
marriage was considered something
more than a mere legal tie which
was to be broken for a whim And,
thank God, many twentieth CEN
fury girl still believes in this good
old fashion which demands that we
love and cherish the man we marry
IL
Wives like these are unto men like
the shelter of a great rock in a
weary land" like mama from
heaven when they starve in the
desert Of despair.
And such devotion, such trust,
such love, is worth to man a thou
sand times more than all the flaunt-
ing beauty Of the gold digger, all the
chic Of the vampire, all the youth
and loneliness of the professional
man-chaser.
! And yet, in the fact of these
truths, there are men who will give
up women of just such sterling char
acter, wives who have been tried in
the hot furnace of matrimony, for
cheap and sleazy types of femininity
who, like rats that desert sinking
ship. will flee at the first signal OF
financial disaster.
When we look about us and OBJ
serve otherwise intelligent men who
place physical attraction, far above
those charms of soul and mind. or
the attributes Of fidelity and affec-
ton, which have always made for
human happiness, we cannot wonder
that so many Of them find them
selves deserted and alone when a
dark hour comes.

SPEED ON
STATE ROADS

II. IIINKLE, OF the main.
Al tenance division OF the In.
LII diana State highway com.
mission, reports that Of the serious
accidents occurring on State roads
last year more than half-or 335-
were due to fast driving, And
there were double the number Of
accidents OF the year before.
Only one class Of mishap showed
a decrease. There were fewe,'
collisions with animals. Apparent.
ly the dumb brutes that ventured
afoot on the roadway are getting
more cautious than the dumb
brutes behind the wheel
Probably in none Of the cases,
where serious accident resulted
from East driving, was speed
essential. No important matters
would have suffered had the
drivers proceeded at a more sedate
pace.
The difference in forty-mile-an-
hour gait and a twenty-five-mile-
an-hour gait in driving clear
across the State would only result
in the saving Of couple Of hours.
Yet some motorists will drive that
distance at break-neck speed and,
If they arrive at their destination
air in one piece, stand around for
couple of hours doing nothing
but boasting of their performance.
We are a nation Of speed wor-
shippers. Hurry is our middle
name. But what's the use Of all
our fast driving? Trying to save
a few minutes by stepping on
err on the highway and waking
up in eternity is not profitable
unless the hasty motorist has lived
q NOUS life.

situation. This is new kind of
fun" 1t would be dangerous
business IN the hands of only a
man with as keen sense of bur
lesque as Griffith has. Even when
General Lee is searching for the
bravest man in the Southern
army, Griffith even has the general
lodging bullets. SHands Up is not
history. it is just a new kind of
burlesque.
The test of Griffith's success in this
daring new method Of treating his
torical figures is best tested by the
laughter and applause given this pic
ture at the Ohio yesterday.
When I was in the Ohio 1 heard
this picture applauded at it's close
just. as patrons of the legitimate
drama applaud an act. Griffith is
daring and he has bitter and at
times a nasty" mot used to mean in
decent) infection to his fun. When
he gets through with his picture he
discovers that he has two women low
ing him. both claiming to be his wife.
Then Brigham Young is seen STEP

six of his many wives. The next
you see of Griffith is that he is
bound for Salt Lake City with the
two women.
