NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

Truth-IR Cap and Bells
TT is the mission and the pun
i ishment Of a professional
flirt to go through life tapping
the hearts of men, that they may
overflow-for other women.
After two years an engagement
doesn't have to be broken, it just
naturally Says in the middle and
comes apart.
When a man says Nobody
understands me"' don't imagine
he is suffering. He is merely try
ing to let you know in a modest
way that he is profound, fasci.
mating mystery, too deep for any
woman.
Even a capricious woman can
be loyal to one man--until she
prefers another. But g. mans heart
Is like a. shuttle or a ferryboat-7-s
always going backward and for
ward between two women.
Many a man nnarries one wom-
an in order to escape from lot
of others-and then plays around
with a lot of others in order to
forget that he is married to one.
The greatest shock an idealistic
woman can receive is to wake up
after the honeymoon and discover
that she is married to human
being with a healthy appetite for
beefsteak and onions. and habit
OF sleeping with his mouth open.
Never try to keep a husband on
a leash, The dog or the man
that has to be TIED In always
the one that eventually has to be
advertised in the Lost" columns.
g---4----
A mans first lie makes q wom-
an weep, the second makes her
think, the third makes her mad
and all the rest merely make her
laugh.
Never trust your husband too
far--or another woman's husband
too near.

UTE'VE had letters like this
w before. Wen have them
again. Wen continue to have
them as long as foolish humans
expect the law, or God or. their
relations to hand them happiness
on silver platter:
Dear Miss Robinson:
Just what rights are due a
mother and wife? What is the
average woman entitled to, hold.
ing such position?
"A WIFE"
Legally, as regards the disposal
Of property and authority over
children, a wife and mother has
as many rights as her State
grants her. Such laws vary with
every State. But, of course, legal
rights are not what this wife
means. She is after something
much more vital to her happiness
the right" to be loved and re-
spected, the right to receive ten
der consideration from her family.
Not legal service, but heart SER
vice.
How much heart service has a
wife and mother the right to ex-
pect?
AS MUCH AS SHE HERSELF
CAN WIN BY HER CHARM
AND STRENGTH OF HER OWN
CHARACTER, AND NOT A BIT
MORE.
We cannot be given the fright"
to love or respect.
No ceremony can endow us with
such right, no law can enforce
it.
WE MUST WIN SUCH
RIGHTS FOR OURSELVES OR
GO WITHOUT.
Wives and mothers are no ex.
ception to this rule-aIthough
they frequently think they are.
A woman does not accumulate
war crosses and haloes merely be-
cause she has become wife and
mother. There is nothing in.
herently sacred in the terms
"wife'-''mother.
ANY MALICIOUS MORON CAN
BECOME A MATRON OR A
MAINLAND MANY MALICIOUS
MORONS DO.
1T TAKES MUCH MORE
THAN A WEDDING RING OR
BIRTH CERTIFICATE TO EN-.
TITLE "A WOMAN TO RESPECT
AND DEVOTION.
1t takes tact and tolerance,
graciousness and generosity.
1t takes humility and honesty
and humor-much humor.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH


THAT certain diseases are
i caused by germs Is fact
that has been demonstrated time
and again.
That such diseases can be and
are transmitted from one person
to another, of course, is either
directly by contact or through the
medium of some other article, is
likewise undeniable.
Nevertheless people by far and
large are careless. They do not
pay sufficient attention to the
ordinary rules covering the spread
of contagious and infectious dis
eases and so scarlet fever, diph-
liberia, chicken-pox, pneumonia,
typhoid and a host of other all
ments continue to flourish each
year.
Undoubtedly one reason for our
carelessness is the fact that we
do not actually see the germs,
even in diseases in which they
have been isolated and studied.
Germs are so small. They can
only be viewed under powerful
microscope lenses, and even then
special technique in each in
stance is necessary, such as stain
ing, TO make them visible.
Another reason for our care
lessness is the fact that everybody
is too conceited about his health.
Is it not true that when you
hear of person contracting tu-
berculosis or scarlet fever or some
other disease you think to your
self. "Oh. | couldn't get that
I'm too strong and healthy. !"
Well, that's what the afflicted
ones also thought at one time.
They thought they were immune.
And then, as a third reason,
there is our proverbial indiffer
ence which, in many instances,
amounts to downright laziness.
1t is so much easier to live our
daily lives as we have always
lived them. rather than be on the
alert and take the necessary pre-
cautions.
What factors contribute spe-
cialiy to the transmission and
spread of germ diseases?
Bad hygienic surroundings
such as poor living conditions,
poor ventilation, inadequate sleep
ing accommodations lower the
vitality of the body and make
the inroads of germs easier.
Poor food is another cause of
the same kind. Even too much
food with lack of proper elimina.
ton. of its waste products clogs
the intestines. makes for poison
absorption, and reduces the re-
sistance to disease.
Then lack of cleanliness in gem
eral must be considered. We
don't wash our hands often
enough, or do not battle regularly,
or are not as particular as we
should be about clean dishes,
towels, handkerchiefs, bed linen,
etc.
Distinction of refuse and the
safe removal Of the nasal secre-
tions, ETC.. of sick persons are
also OF prime Importance.
Let us not be careless about
disease.
Don't delude yourself with the
idea that you are an exception
and cannot possibly contract one.
Better be on the safe side and
assume you may be the next.
Don't develop nervous fear
of disease. OF course. Just be
sane and sensible abovl It

opORTORIAL

By KIRK MILLER =

Plenty of light summer read
ing in the mornings mail, for
which we thank the contributors
who innocently enough make to-
day a short Saturday for the
conductor, brakeman and engi-
neer of this observation train.
Corbin Shield, publicity man
for the Rialto enterprise who
apparently can't crash the dra-
matte pages, now that Judge
Andrew R. "Iron Hat" Kelley
is vacationing in the news edi-
tors swivel, writes:
"The Athletics, / am told, have
removed the elephant symbol
from their shirt sleeves, thereby
making it possible for them to
win a pennant. As long as they
wore the elephants, you will re-
call / predicted over a year ago,
their downfall was assured.
I ain not superstitious, but |
warn yo. and all others to be-
ware green colored lights and
elephants. Neither of them is a
successful emblem"
Of course Mr.. Shield is super
stitious, as practically all people
in the amusement racket are,
although many of them do not
realize how these superstitious
tendencies control their SUBJ
conscious actions. Shield should
know his good and bad omens,
as he's been identified with
some of the biggest theatrical
successes and worst flops that
the game has known in the last
quarter of a century
We will see what the aban-
doning Of the elephants does for
the Mackmen, but in all fair
ness, wouldn't you attribute the
success of the Athletics to the
presence of Foxx and a few of
the other human animals Connie
Mack has hanging around him,
rather than the absence Of the
elephants?
Anyway, P. F. Evans sends
communique from Solomon's
Island saying drums have made
their appearance in the waters
of the Patuxent river, giving
great sport to the fishermen.
Evans deposeth and sayeth:
"A Mrs. Vernon, from Penn
sylv mia, gets the prize, landing
a drum on Saturday, June %,
The Washington times., 1929-07-06

weighing 69h pounds, catching
it with c rod and reel"
We will say to Mr.. Evans
that we would not quibble over
that half pound he so accurately
amends to the drums weight,
as 50 pounds is kettle of fish
so far as we are concerned and
a half pound more or less is
nothing to get statistical over.
However, if the Pennsylvania
lady caught the said drum on
Saturday June %, she must in
deed have been quite fisher
woman, for June 28, according
to our calendar, which may not
be like the one being used this
year, fell on a Friday. Of
course it might have been that
the drum struck the hook some
time late Friday night and it
was early Saturday morning
before she landed it, for we
understand that drums will
readily take the hook and when
hung give you plenty of pull
and excitement before actual
capture.
Just a fish story, but if Mr..
Evans is going to be so darned
particular about that extra half
pound Of drum, we wish he
would get his day of the week
and day of the month recon-
ciled!

Max Schmeling, the German feller.
was very busy doing nothing down
here today and stopped right In the
middle OF everything to make this
significant remark, in connection
with Jack Dempsey's published chal.
lenge to heavyweights in general
and to himself in particular.
In his precise but hating Eng.
lish. Schmeling thus declared nim4
self to the effect that not only
was he accepting Dempsey's chal.
lenge but, in tam, was challenging
Dempsey to accept his acceptance,
as it were or was or both. He
seemed to fear that mir. Dempsey, -
as he called him. was talking just
for the sake of giving his adeno.ds
good. fast workout.
In brief. the German says
he hopes that Denlpsey's threat
10 return to the ring turns out
to be definite promise. He
apparently had been informed
that John, holding him in
rather light esteem, had wanted
Schmeling for his very own, for
he hastened to Oblige today by
waising MI rights in the matter
Of naming time, place and the
number Of rounds.
II informed Mr. Dempsey once
that l was ready to meet him any
where and at any. time" Schme.ing
explained. That was my challenge
to him and IL was an official one,
for made 1t in writing and sfc ned
my name to 1t. II it is he row
who is challenging me. that is go5d.
Is 1t now so? For then we should
get together.
Il will make no difficulty about
the time or the place or the condf.
tions. just as l am prepared to meet
Sharkey any place where our fight
can be conducted. II the boxing
commission in New York will not al.
low me to fight Dempsey and Shar.
key until ! fulfill contract made
for me by an unauthorized man, then
shall fight them anywhere that is
accepta Bile to them.
"But Mr.. Dempsey should
waste no further time with chaI-
lenges. am happy TO accept all
OF them"
The Unauthorized man" referred
to is Arthur Bulow, his discarded
manager. who signed Schmeling to
the Fugazy banner when Dempsey
was acting as matchJnaker for that
outfit. 1t Is this circumstance that
is serving to bar the German from
New York rings, and. it seems. he re-
sents Dempsey's part in the proceed
ings.
He cabled me when ! was home
in Germany. saying that | had been
signed to fight for him, Schme.
ling added. I'm my reply. told HIN
that he should be the last man to
ask any fighter to obey the contract
OF a manager with whom he did not
wish to be associated.
This evidently struck home, as
wished 1t to do. In the same mes

him anywhere and at any time and
