They were both fine people,
fastidious and fair, who did not
hold themselves or life cheaply.
Yet they had been lovers for
years, common law husband
and wife.
And now, perhaps, you are
disappearing?
Dan, the man, disaproved too.
He wanted to be married form
ally. He could see no earthly
reason against it.
But Darrell, the woman, would
not consent. She saw a reason
"a grim, relentless reason. And
she tried, desperately, to make
Dan see it too.
You can read about it in that
terrible and true book BREAK
UP" by Hagar Wilde. It must
have taken brave and bitter
living to have learned the things
that are in that book =. to have
been able to put these words
in DarrerS mouth
There they were at it again
-adOring each other, unable
to live without each other, yet
tearing at each Others hearts.
"Why-thOught the man
wouldn't she accept marriage,
like other women? Why was she
willing to give so much yet
never willing to give all? Why
didn't she want to possess and
be possessed?
end why 1t ought the
wOman-cOuldn't he see that
the desire to possess and be
possessed was the thing that
spoiled love? Why couldn't he
see that people had to STAY
themselves If they wanted to
mean anything to each Other?''
No, she wasn't arguing
against marriage. She was ar
guing against the thing we do
with marriage. against the
spiritual wrong that women do
to men and that men do to wo-
men. Dan would do that thing
she knew it. Dan would ex-
pect her to know everything in
his mind and understand it and
be interested in it. He would
refuse to have any secrets from
her. And he would refuse to
let her have any secrets from
him. He would expect her to

Montgomery County banks had a
total OF $13.429.676.95 on deposit at
the close of business June 80. accord
ing to the statements issued in accord
ance with the law. This amount would
show a per capita deposit Of more than
$265, which is five times more than the
per capita deposit of the Nation as a
whole, bankers point out. 1t also is
pointed out that probably so per cent
of the residents of the county do busi-
ness with Washington banks and were
their deposits added to the total the
per capita deposit would be much
greater.

mon. Third quarter earnings scarcely
will come up to those of the second
quarter, and it is highly improbable
that much. II anything. can be earned
on the common In the last three
months.
Directors have felt justified in dip
ping into surplus for two quarters divi-
dend distributions. but they are not eX-
pected to continue to use up cash in
this manner. The corporation must
have on hand a large sum. Preferred
dividends require $25,2l9.000 year,
and the common stock, at the current
rate. calls for $50. 1865 900.
Reduction of the dividend probably
will be regarded by the stock market
as a prediction by the corporations di-
rectors that no immediate sharp re-
turn IN business Is in sight. This in
depreciation will be the correct one. but
dividend action on Steel scarcely is
needed TO show that this view prevails
among well informed business men.
Steadiness with gradual improvement

Wall Street men venture to predict.
