Newspapers tell us the insurance
companies consider the working girl
a better risk than the stay-at-home.
And she is a better risk, and in
other things than insurance poll
cies. She has it all over the young
lady who has her time entirely taken
up with dancing and motoring and
flirting. She is n good risk for
friendship and a good risk for matri-
mony.
For the intelligent working girl is
just about the finest thing that has
ever been evolved in the feminine
line.
She is a hundred times more cap
able, more trustworthy, more hon
est than her old-fashioned grand
mother. She may not be so domes-
tic, but she makes her talents count
for more. She may not cook so
much nor so persistently, but she
knows better how to prepare well
balanced meal. She may not have
so many children, but she brings
more intelligence into the rearing of
those she has. She can get out and
earn money and invest it profitably
after she gets it. She understands
business and politics and the great
er problems of the world, all Of
which would have so much Greek to
her mother. She reads and votes
and thinks for herself.
And who dares say that she is not

For inherently she is the eternal
feminine in another dress. She does
not marry merely because she feels
it is her only chance for happiness,
but because she respects and loves

she does become a wife, her business
training is one of the strongest foun-

She understands something Of the
difficulty Of earning a living, and
helps her husband with his financial

which causes her to ponder on the

But what does it amount to? When one plays Ham, let you simply invite comparisons of everybody and are compared with everybody else.'

VAUDEVILLE AT RIALTO

Five acts of professional try out vaudeville heads double feature of motion pictures at the Rialto theater tonight. Every Advertisement being offered in variety at the present time, seems to have a place n some one of these five acts and a capacity house is looked for. The two fea- lures which will close their engage ment at this playhouse tonight are 'The Waning Sex, partieualrly timely story of modern life which stars Norma Shearer and Northern Code" a virie outdoor drama which seems to specialize in thrills. The shorter subjects to be shown include comedy and news reels. Tomor- row and Thursday the double fea- ture bill will be headed by "Sin Car go" which has an exceptionally cap able cast including such well known players as Shirley Mason. Robert Frazer and Earl Metcalf. The story deals with modern life and most of the action takes places on board Il millionaire's private yacht. There are some highly dramatic episodes in the picture with the very novel situation of young lady swimming to shore instead of walking home. The second feature Is gripping wes- tern drama west of Rainbow's End" crammed with action from start to finish. Jack Perrin, Pauline Curley and Jacks inseparable pals, Rex the movie collie and Starlight his almost human horse appear in the cast. Se- lected shorter subjects are also scheduled.

Leatrice Joy was never more be- witching. never more tantalizing and never more poppy than in Nobody s Widow" now appearing at the Ly- ceum, and likewise Charles Ray never has more astonished his audi ences than as the English duke and leading man in this comedy drama. Gone are Rays clownish, hick-like antics and in their place is polite comedy of the highest order. David Butler and Phyllis Haver also have good roles in this picture.
 The companion attraction is Will liam Fairbanks in "A Fight 10 the Finish" a smashing action picture in which the challenger, drugged. is de- feated in the prize ring but few minutes later literally punches the champion to oblivion in a private battle-a fight to the finish-in the dressing room.

OBJECTED ID GIRL
 BATHING HUSBAND
Princess farhata Then Started
 Things in Philippines

Manila, Feb. s (P-The American educated Princess Tarhata kiram was willing enough to share her l husband, Datu Tahil, Moro rebel l chief, with his three other wives, i but to allow a comedy Sulu girl to shower affections on him-ah, no. 1 no, no. no.
 That, in substance. is the reason for the downfall Of Datu Tahil. So say dispatches received here today from Jolo Island. scene Of the recent drama Of love, rebellion, flight and capture.
 It was related that as soon as it became known to the Sultan of Sulu that Tahil, one of his chiefs, was in rebellion against the Philippine gov ernment, the Sultan sent his favorite niece, the princess to the scene of conflict Summoning Tahil to the royal palace for a conference look ing toward a peaceful settlement Of the difficulties which caused the in surrection.
 Having His Back Scrubbed.
 Princess Tarhata, arriving at the fort where Tahil had gone with 900 fo his armed followers. found him in the process of taking a bath. That in itself was not so bad. but the princess incidentally discovered that a comedy young woman was scrub blng his back
 Being the fourth and favorite wife of Tahil, the princess objected. The royal lady. graduate of the Uni versity of Illinois seized a pail of the chieftain's bath water and threw it in the face of the accommodating young woman.
 Rips Up His Clothes.
 In order 10 make it clearly un- derstood that she was displeased she then seized knife and attacked Datu Tahil's trousers, which were lying nearby. In moment they were in shreds.
 They were the only trousers Tahil had with him. He positively could not attend the conference at the royal palace without trousers and SO lllt HtS DlltttiOIlS WEI . 4lf-i uP'
 The Sultan, so the story goes, waited until his royal patience was exhausted and then. believing one of his chieftains had ignored com mand. sent word 10 the Philippine constabulary to go ahead and at tack Tahil if they cared to.
 Rebels Left Behind.
 The constabularly did. It moved up to the fortification and then learned that the princess was inside. That staved off the attack for sev- eral days. Finally Tahil and the princess fled with a few followers, but leaving most of the rebels to face the fire. Special correspon- dents reported GO Moros were killed in the attack Official reports list ed the dead at 35.
 The princess later was found eN- hausted and penitent, wandering on mountainside, but her husband was nowhere about. He is being sought on charge of sedition, His people have turned against him. Tho princess is being kept in semi confinement, but she had shown such penitcnce that ii is believed she will not be punished further.
