LISTEN, WORLD!

Queer, how wives complain

the boys.
How sorry they feel for them
selves becuse they've given "the
best years Of their life to the
brute"
Don't they ever remember
that marriage is a woman's
game that matrimony,
like olives, is an acquired taste
for males? No, they don't.
Practically all wives suffer from
the delusion that women do
men an enormous favor when
they marry them for
which favor men should grovel
gratefully until death.
But nothing could be further
from the truth! Every normal
woman wants marriage and is
never satisfied until, by hook
or crook, she has achieved it.
And man, instead of seeking
matrimOny, is the reluctant sex.
Marriage has countless ad-
vantages for the woman, II
releases her from the horrid
job Of earning her own living.

It gives her opportunity to
have childen respectfully, and
affords protection for those
children. It gives her a GER

important to Miss 1881 as IL

ables her to possess Things.

So marriage is a great game
for woman. Even marriage

Uncertainty Of Curtis
There is much significance In
the fact that Vice President
Curtis is not at all certain he
would not prefer the Senatorial
nomination in Kansas next year
to a denomination on the ticket
with Mr.. Hoover. Though not a
statesman in any sense, he has
more than the average cunning
in politics and no one, with ear
to the, ground, can better inter-
pret the message he hears. He
has. heard much from Kansas,
and If he determines to make
the fight for a Senate seat it
will mean that he has but faint
hope OF winning on the ticket
with Mr.. Hoover. His emhar-

considerations. Thus, this dis
