One of the most charming
ladies who ever pecked at a
typewriter with her two fore
fingers - Mrs. Mary Roberts
Rinehart-announces that she
is about to desert admiring
readers who have followed her
heroes and heroines through
countless thousands of pages in
the last quarter Of a century.
For the last 25 years she has
produced at least one novel
every year, and at least half
a dozen short stories and ar
ticles for a ready and eager
market. Chance and necessity
had about equal parts in the
launching of the literary career
of this lovely and brilliant lady.
A native of Pittsburgh and a
nurse by profession, she met
and married DR.. Stanley Rine-
hart.

A Menace?

Because the United States
possesses the Macon and needs
giant dirigibles of this type for
use as scouts in the Pacific,
Great Britain, France and italy,
which have no Macons, are in
favor of outlawing the dirigible
upon the ground that it is "a
menace to world peace"
The British have naval bases
suitable for cruiser and con-
verted merchant vessel opera
tions all over the world. They
do not consider airships neces-
sary for their own naval pur-
poses. Furthermore, having no
large supplies of helium, the
British are committed to n.y.
drogen ships, which are eX-
tremely vulnerable to hostile
action.
France has had no success in
the building of dirigibles, fears
those that Germany may yet
build, and would prefer to see
the dirigible outlawed.
Italy has no defense problem
that calls for the construction
of an airship with a cruising
radius of eight or nine thou"
sand miles.
The United States is not a
European power-She is both an
Atlantic and Pacific power. And
the Pacific requires the use OF
giant dirigibleS Of the Macon
type to reinforce the mission OF
scout cruisers.

With the arrival at Moffett
Field in Sunnyvale, Calf,
of the U. S. S. Macon, the
Navy's giant dirigible, her spe-
cial mission as a scouting arm
of the United State fleet will
begin.
This sister ship of the ILL
fated Akron, which was de-
stroyed in a storm off the New
Jersey coast last spring, was
started in December. 1881, a
few weeks after the Akron had
been accepted by the Navy.
The Macon, like the Akron,
is nearly twice the size of the
Graf Zeppelin and almost three
times as large as the Los
Angeles.

to the man. Just think what a
woman can DO, these days, to
annoy or embarrass the man
whose name she carries around
with her!
She can write things and
express sentiments with which
he absolutely disagrees and
sign them Mrs. John Doe"
Or, as has happened in the
case of several famous actresses,
she can go on the stage and
blazon his name in electric
lights over a theater, even
though he may be a supreme
court justice or a parson who
believes in original sin and in
fant damnation.
Worse still, if she doesn't en-
JOY life with him, she can go
out on her own and take up
racketeering, or run a smart
speakeasy, or be a hostess in a
dance hall under the name OF
MRS. John Doe"-and he can't
do a thing about it. When it
comes to names, what's his is
HERS-and what's hers is her
OWN.
Women are doing too many
startling and unusual things,
these days, for ANY man to
want to feel responsible for their
exploits. After all, a man is en-
titled to protect his dignity and
professional standing in this
world. And now that so many
marriages go on the rocks
sooner or later, a man should
have the security of knowing,
at least, that his name won't
strike him in the face from the
screen, or appear in gold letters
over a dressmaking establish
ment, or flare up at him from
the newspapers over a night
club scandal.
You may argue that woman
can add glory to her husbands
name. But that's the bunk. For,
no matter how brilliant or glor-
ious a woman's achievements
may be, there is nothing that

Old Families

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Sept.
20.-Old families whose estates in
Paget, near here, date back over
two centuries, are sputtering
with evaporation because Mrs.
William K. Dick, widow Of the
late John Jacob Astor, has denied
them the privilege Of passing
through her spacious grounds for
their daily dip at Grape Bay, a
custom they have enjoyed for
nearly a hundred years.
Though divorce is non-existent
here and no marriage can be
performed without benefit of
clergy, old residents have long
beer tolerant of the broader
domestic views Of American visi-
tors.
Thus, no eyebrows were raised
when Mrs. Dick, with a brand
new Reno divorce in her hand
bag, invited EMO Fiermonte, a
pugilist, to Bellevue as her house
guest.
A tempest, gathering for a
week, broke today when the
carriage Of an aged couple head
ed into Bellevue drive. A burly
guard stepped out from a hibis-
Gus hedge and caught the
bride. He said:
