FntiHty in
Reforming
Husbands
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
Ethel Hays says, "The reason why
so many marriages are failures is
because so many failures are mar
ried"
Neat, pithy, and " the point!
And about as good logic as I ever
heard. I have been reading of a
woman with penchant for reform
ing husbands. She had three to
date.
What happened to her was this:
Having a good job and being able
to take chance that other non
self-supporting women would not
have dared to take, she allowed
herself the luxury of this peculiar
kind of charity. Instead Of adopt
ing orphans she adopted husbands
one at time, of course.
She honestly did try to reform
each one as he came along. But
what was the use of being re-
formed? They didn't want to be re-
formed. 1t was far more fun coax
ing her for spending money.
I have always stood up for the
male. Few men benefit directly by
wives who work, although the home
and children may benefit.
But there is a type of man whe
simply won't work if someone will
work for him, and I consider the
woman who makes three attempts
at reforming ne'er-d o-wells (simply
because of her ability to look after
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-10-07

herself-and them-in case things
go wrong, not too greatly in need of
sympathy.
Not so long ago few women would
have dared to marry an idler, a
>arinker, or a waster, to reform him.
She was completely at his mercy. If
she did, however, and starved and
suffered as result, she had the
sympathy of her friends.
Now it Is different. A girl takes
her place in the economic world,
and takes chances that her mother
or grandmother would never have
dared to take. Her independence
makes it less necessary to be sure OF
the man she marries.
To marry a man to reform him is
probably not as hazardous as OF
yore, but to my mind it is more
hopeless. A man who feels that his
wife's bread and butter do not de-
pend on his conduct, isn't likely to
snap out of his vices in a hurry
And is it up to us to feel sorry fol
his wife?

"Size Is or So, style is much the
samt," reads a fashion headline.
Everybody who can see already
knows that.
1t seems to me it is one Of the
worst tricks we play on. the girls,
this thing of constantly stealing
their stuff.
You know, back in those terrible
days when we wore long skirts and
long hair, you could tell married
woman from 14-year-o1d school
girl block away. When they played
together the little maidens always
begged for a sweeping skirt to dress
up in and they all dreamed of the
day when they would be grown up,
too.
Putting down ones skirt and do
ing up ones hair marked the def
mite transition from childhood to
womanhood. There was never a
thrill that equalled the one we got
on the day when we went to our
first party with our braids con1bed
out and a couture like mothers.
Now these poor girls of ours have
nothing that they can look forward
to in the way Of fashion. Their
dresses are as short at eighteen as
they were at eleven. Their hair is
cut at twenty as it was at five. Their
clothes are made just about the
same way when they go to their first
dance as when they started to kin
dergarten.
And that's not all They can't de-
wise new mode or take up the most
trif1ing innovation of fashion, but
what their mothers and their aunts
come right along and take it up,
too. That's nice for the older wom-
en-, we may be sure, but don't you
think it's rather tough on the girls?
And that's not all. We don't even
let them have monopoly on dates
any more. Whereas married women
used to be definitely fixed IN life
and willing to relinquish the joys OF
the chase to forlorn ma1dens, now
they are out looking for men almost
as hard as the girls are.
It's high time we married women
left some privileges for the girls.
Now they get very shabby treatment
at our hands. Instead of allowing
them to enjoy unmolested their brief
period of youth, we must be always
sneaking up on them, copying their
clothes and their hair cuts, aping
their costums ond running off with
their heauX.

people on the streets at n o'clock
in the morning as at MONDAY, and
when rude board signs at frequent
intervals announced licensed gam

draught," Mikes Place." or Last
Chance" To the old-timer, these
Montana towns are other cities that
have in some magic way grown up
from where the old towns used to be.
Wide : OPEN
Much has happened in Montana during
the last thirty-five or forty years. With
licensed gambling now a thing of the dis
tant past; with saloons closed; with old
bawdy houses dismantled and primrose
paths grass grown with lawns Of homes
growing green on the site Of old race
tracks, nothing remains of the wicked
old days but fond memories. Considering
the days that were, 1t would seem that the
reformers of Montana have swept the
board clean and there is not much left to
reform.
1t is interesting, then, to now recall the
Montana cities of thirty-five year ago. And,
perhaps, no better sample of the wide
open" town was Butte, which then bore
a world wide reputation as a naughty city.
EarIy-Day Butte
Five years ago Butte turned night
into day. One could go down Main street
at 3 o'clock In the morning and meet as
many people as In the middle of the day.
Every saloon kept open night and day, and
every saloon that could afford 1t main
tanned one or two faro banks. Around every
faro bank table there was always a crowd
of eager bettors. 1t is a matter of record
that one game, In the old Combination, ran
night and day, without closing for two
years, and only closed then for a few days
on account of the Illness of the star dealer.
Bucking the Tiger
They were great institutions, those faro
banks, in the days when bucking the tiger
was Butte's principal diversion. 1t was in
the time of licensed gambling. The faro
bank tables were on the ground floor, and
one could look In at the open door and
see small fortunes change hands with every
deal" The dealers were the Beau Brum-
mels Of the town, and were high In the
social scale above the short card" man,
the individual who affected stud and draw
poker. Immaculate, imperturbable, the deal
er sat enthroned, and with dignity and de-
termination, after the bets were placed,
would slip the cards from the deal box.
On the turn of every card large sums were
won and lost. After two cards were slipped
from the box the dealer would first take
the banks winnings, after which he would
pay the bets the bank had lost. This done
he would wait until the players had placed
their bets and repeat the process. When
two cards of the same denomination came
out Of the box on one turn 1t was a "split"

FUEL OIL SLUMP
FORCES COAL USE
BELT MINES GET CONTRACT
FROM GREAT NORTHERN
RAILWAY
Low Production i'm Kevin-Sunburst
Field Makes Necessary Change In
Plans of Transportation System;
Many Miners Being Employed

A pronounced slump In Kevin-Sun-
burst crude oil production, Immediately
traceable to the recent severe weather
conditions, has brought about a situa-
tion that has made necessary a return to
coal burning locomotives by the Great
Northern railway on n number of runs
out of Great Falls.
A considerable amount of coal has been
moved into this territory from Fernie, Is.
c., by the Great Northern for its own
use, and a contract has been let for the
delivery of 400 tons of coal weekly from
the Colone-Johnson mine at Belt.
Weather conditions have brought the
daily run of oil from the -Sunburst
field down to 10000 barrels a day, it was
stated by L.. NJ. Kiplinger of Shelby, rep
resentative of the Ohio Oil company, and
there is little prospect for an enlargement
until there is something resembling a per-
manent moderation.
slump Due to Weather
1.-THE field Will come back" Mr.. Kip
linger said. "The present slump Is entirely
due to weather conditions. There have
been no freeze-ups of the Illinois pipe
line, but on the leases conditions have be-
come such that 1t is impossible TO produce
the normal maximum. Most of the trouble
is In the freezing up of engines used In
pumping or for other purposes at the wells
and the inability of the operators to main
tain production at the usual rate under
winter conditions"
1t is understood that a number of oil
burner locomotives. used on the Butte d.
vision Of the Great Northern will be recon-
verted into coal burners, and that coal
will be used on a part of the runs out OF
Great Falls until the fuel oil supply Is
permanently restored. 1t has not been
learned whether coal will be used other
than that from the Cottonwood mines at
Stockett and the tonnage available at
Fernie and Belt.
VIII Add Night Shift
The emergency Is being met at the
Colone-Johnson mine at Belt by the adj
dition of as many men as can be handles
on the day shift and the making Of pre-
parations for the addition of u night shift
Some months ago 1t was announced by
officials of the Cottonwood Coal company
at st. Paul that the Cottonwood miner at
Stockett would close on January /, but
1t has since developed that this was con-
tingent on the cleaning up of the remain
ing available coal there.
Shortly before the first OF the year IL
was announced that operations would con-
tinue at least for two or three months, and
the opinion has been expressed that the
recent development In the fuel oil situA-
ton could possibly bring about at least
a temporary change in the former plans
for closing.
