Man has been undergoing evolution
for a long time. Just now the man.
whose grandfather's skull dates back
a hundred thousand years. is passing
from the period of bread-winning to
caEe-eating. You recall who used TO
win the bread. and you see who Is
now making the cake.
When man was a bread-winner he
was also a bride-winner, for girls have
always required a certain amount of
food Mans motive for work was in
part selfish, for he wanted to live, and
| to live he had to eat and work.
But then the man of the old school
| worked as a winner of food in order
that the might have something to Of
| fer girl when he wanted her to be
| his wife. Those were the happy days
when the savings banks and life in
surance companies were started.
Now that girls have crashed the
gate of business and are winning their
own bread, the man who used to enter
the big tent Of marriage by means of
the meal ticket is likely to be shut
out. The girl takes care OF herself. so
.
Visible Means of Support. She doesn't
| need him any more than an heiress
needs a duke.
The love situation is in the condition
of $3.50 as far as bread Is concerned.
The girl doesn't need to get married or
stay at-home.
But the business balance between
the sexes has done more for woman
than for man. 1t has robbed him of
his one best approach to the lady of
his choice. She won't listen to his
stories of the home which he will pro-
vide, and then she may have pro-
vided the home already.
This sort of financial independence
on the part Of the girl has turned man
into the modern cake-eater. First the
man supplied all the food. then the
woman Clipped In with her share.
and now there are cases where the
girl Is supporting both of them, plus
a dog.
It's no wonder men grow discour-
aged when it comes to picking some
one to wear the orange blossoms.
The eligible girls are all at business.
This may be Bluff on their part, but
there they are, just the same.
Men are suffering from fear that
they cannot support us. I wish they
knew how easy 1t is. And then think
of the numerous girls who are reduc.
fling for the sake of their beauty
The bread winner has one easy time
of it with the self.supporting, self.re.
ducing girl. It's time he saw that
and began to pluck some Of the cour-
age and nerve his father had. There
Is still room for the bread winner

to better serve the interests OF ship

The reasons moving the Baltimore
& Ohio to purchase an interest in the
Western Maryland, largely I'm pre-
ferred stock. were purely economic,
Mr.. Shriver said. More than 60 per
cent OF the traffic interchanged by the
Western Maryland with other roads
is with the Baltimore & Ohio. and
the two properties complement each
other In many ways. Recently it de-
deloped that through some further
trackage and traffic ARA ngements 1t
would be possible to expedite the
handling of the traffic interchanged
and at the same time secure substan-

possibilities for an increase in the

All Of this should result In benefit
