NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT
- By r WALTER FERGUSON -

A wife writes to say that she believes her husband
to be smarter than herself and is worried over this fact.
What this conscientious consert fails to comprehend is
that she is very fortunately situated and instead of
complaining over such a condition, she should rejoice
because Of 1t. oN
Having a husband whom you believe to be smarter
than yourself is one Of the first essentials to happy
marriage for a woman. No girl wants to wed a man
she knows to be her intellectual inferior. When she
deliberately does such a thing she is almost certain to
suffer because of it.
With the wife who actually knows less than her
husband, or at least with both husband and wife sold
ON this idea, whether it be correct or not, you have the
basis for satisfactory marriage. Men have always car
ried about with them the pleasing impression that
they know more than women; this has been one of
the things which has kept man with his head high
and his opinions intact through the centuries. A long
time ago, back as far as the Stone Age, the males
were reared with this impression and they never have
lost it.
Even today, when men actually have no authority
or rights left at all, you cansno more get the average
man to say that he thinks any woman knows more
than he does than you can get him to dress up
in skirts.
But, taken all together, this is the thing that has
made many satisfactory marriages. Every bride loves
to think that her man is ABOUT the most brilliant on
the face of the earth. All wives desire to look up to
their husbands. They suffer if they are married to a
dub.
BY nature woman is a dependent creature and
most happy when she is being protected. And moth
ing brings out the inherent decencies and the strength
of men like the worship of women for their fancied
superiority. They can rise to magnificent heights un-
der such conditions, and who dares gainsay that they
may not grow in wisdom and worth simply because
of this?
No, madame, one OF the surest ways of retaining
your husbands affection is to know less than he does
and keep him with "a realization of the fact. Feeling
sorry for his wife has kept many a man faithful.

What Reason Has France
for Being So Angry
at US2
Rv M. e Tracy

What have we done that France
should be so angry?
Loaning her cash when she needed
it, we have not complained at her
failure to pay it back thus far.
We have not complained because
she employed her credit to help Po-
land and finance at least two wars of
conquest.
She has neglected to refund her
war debt and reduce it's interest rate,
has put one ministry after another
out of office for no better reason
than opposition to a sensible pro-
gram of reconstruction and still we
have not complained.
We have been glad to wait to give
France time to get rid of the idea
that Germany, or somebody else,
would pay her bills.
When her ambassador was ready
to talk about the debt settlement,
we offered a 40 per cent discount
with sixty-two years in which to
liquidate the rest and only nominal
payments for the first fifteen years.
1t is not nor than natural that
France should bargain for better
terms and we do not resent the fact,
but it is i~nconceivable that she
should fly into such a rage.

NAPOLEON PLUS
"He thinks himself Napoleon

IT, AA-ANOSA- ~'OPOAOOA'
That's Clemenceau's description of Joseph Gail
laux, new finance minister of France. 1t was made
before Caillaux' latest attempt to s~traighten out the
French financial tangle. Otherwise Clemenceau
would not compare a man Of Caillaux' nerve with a
mere soldier, even if that soldier did think he could
conquer the world.
Caillaux' job, barring the annoyance of bullets
and bayonets, is a harder one than any ever given
to d soldier.
He must persuade the French people to, accept
hard times.
When soldiers take the feld-it was true in
.Napoleon's time and it's true today-business booms.
Supplies are scarce. prices rise, and people are gen.
orally prosperous.
France has been prolonging her wartime pros
perity oy printing more francs end keeping prices
continually on the rise. II.
For about ten billion franc notes in circulation
in 1914, there are over f~fty-three billion now. The
francs are not worth nearly so much as they were
in 1914, about 2.23 cents, instead of approximately
20 cents. That's another way of saying that prices
are about seven and a half times as high as they
were before the war.
AS log as prices continue to rise in France the
present prosperity in that country will continue. AS
long as wages and other costs lag behind selling
prices, as they do on a rapidly rising price level,
there will be large profits, and that's prosperity. AS
>soon as prices are stabilized there Is virtually certain
&&A be a period of hard times.
There's bound to be disaster sooner or later,
the present French financial policy is followed,
pd the franc is allowed to depreciate until it isn't
orth the paper it is printed on, but that disaster can
postponed for a while.
Caillaux' job is to stabilize the franc right now.
II he succeeds and survives he can tell Georges
Clemenceau that Napoleon wasn't really SO much.
Napoleon's armies bred general prosperity outside of
the areas actually devastated. Caillaux' plans will
breed hard times in France. Prices will stop rising,
taxes, railroad rates, etc., will be increased and
the bubble of prosperity-for of course, it is a bub-
ble-wil burst.
TO remain a national hero under these circum-
stances NsI be q real job.

Cuba'S Humanity

Occasionally, you hear Of a sheriff,
or warden resigning rather than in
fict the death penalty.
4. Cuba obviates the necessity of any
such action by delegating a fellow
prisoner to perform the task. Cuba,
also, retains that terrible instrument
of execution. the garrote. which is
a chair, with steel arms so arranged
that they can be brought together
and pressed against the neck of the
condemned by turning a crew.
The grewsone spectacle, is being
staged in Santiago today with one
convict apparently glad to strangle
another for a few good meals and
the promise of a substantial reduc-
ton in his sentence.

fifth time, and with no buyers.
1t has belonged to one general,
two doctors, a great landlord and
twenty less prominent people, but
always with disastrous results.
1t has been identified with six
deaths and several injuries.

TENTS, lost the majority of them.

He says too, that the Charleston

Through this law it has been possible to limit eA-

Colby Student
Council Sets Ahead
Date for GYM Rally

Especial to the Kennebec Journal)
Waterville, Me-, Mar. 23.-The
Colby Student Council today post
poned the gigantic rally planned for
the gymnasium this evening due to
circumstances over which they had
no control. The reasons for the post
ponement as given by the commit
tee are the danger from sickness
which, although not dangerous, is
rather prevalent at the present time
and also the fact that many of the
professors have decided to give ex-
aminations during the week as Fri
day marks the beginning of the
Easter holidays. The demonstration,
however, has not been cancelled but
postponed and without doubt when
the affair finally occurs there will
be even, more enthusiasm than at
the present time.
Colby is the only college in Maine
which is not equipped with a modern
gymnasium and the present building
is exceedingly inadequate for the
needs of the students, both in ath-
letics and physical training. When
the rally which the Student Council
will conduct Immediately after va
cation is held, group of speakers
from the alumni and student body
will give talks on the gymnasium
fund and without doubt the alumni
and friends of the college will be
awakened to the real and acute need
OF Colby for modern structure.
