The "Other Woman" a Myth :

The "Other Woman" a Myth
Two of our most picturesque
types passed out of the picture,
when the heavy villain and the
vamp departed from the scene.
Blaming "the Other Woman"
for a mans reflections is no
longer the fashion. Today a
man stands on his own morale.
And nobody blames ANY wom-
an-even his wife-for his
weaknesses or peccadillos.
If a man doesn't marry, it is
not because some dominating
mother or jealous sister or
alluring and INSCRIPTIONS mar
ried woman is, keeping him
away from you. 1t is just be-
cause he doesn't WANT to
marry as long as he can pan
handle a little love and a few
kisses here and there-and still
escape the halter.
Men come in two varieties
marrying men and nonmarry-
ing men. And if a man is born
to be free, he can never be
tanned. Husbands are born and
not made-and being a hus-
band is a talent as we'll as a
highly specialized art.
If a man is the marrying
sort, neither poverty nor wild
horses nor wild women can
keep him away from the altar.
That is why I am always so
amazed when I read of these
suits for alienation of affec-
lions. Nobody can ALLEVIATE q
mans. affections from q woman,
except the woman herself.
The Washington times., 1935-09-04

And It's the same a1Ier mar
rage, When a married man
steps out, it is not because
the "Other Woman" tempted
him or vamped him-but be-
cause she happened to be in
the way when he was looking
for adventure or diversion:
It is true that there are
plenty of INSCRIPTIONS women,
who have no regard for a wife's
property rights in her nus
band. But THEY know what
sort of man is their game. and
do not bother much with the
kind Of husband who keeps his
eyes on his wife.
Their specially is the mar
ried bachelor" with the rowing
glance and the wandering foot.
And if he is entangled by one
of them, it's because he wants
to be caught. Because his van
ity and his love of variety were
growing restless for a new con-
quest.
A man does not always do
what he intends to do or what
he expects to do: but he always
does what he WANTS to do
whether consciously or uncon-
SciouSly.
The "other woman" always
was more or less of a myth.
She is one with the confer
ence" and the "sick friend" and

Going Home?

When you go home to visit.
be careful not to show too much
love for the things you have
discovered outside your own
home town.
The home folk are glad to
see you; they notice the changes
in your dress, speech and man
ner and they are proud OF you,
if you have improved.
But when you are reciting
your experiences don't create a
spirit of envy.
And remember that your old
friends would like to feel that
you have missed them and that
nothing can really take their
place.
Genuine people do love the
old home and the old-home
town.

Taxation and Reform.

Analysis of the Presidents new tax
proposal by the National Industrial Con-
ference Board leads that body to char
acterize it in terms which justify the
definition which was promptly applied
to it in public parlance when 1t was
offered. 1t was Immediately styled a
plan to soak the rich,'' rather than
proposed method of raising revenue to
finance the Governments program OF
social reform. The board starts its pres
entation of the case with this statement:
The message sent by the President
to Congress on June l9 is complete and
unqualified Endorsement of the use
of taxation for non-fiscal purposes.
Throughout the entire message there is
only one unimportant reference to the
revenues that would be obtained if
the program recommended should be
adopted. It is not a fiscal document,
but statement of social and economic
philosophy, in the application of which
taxation is to be used as a convenient
instrument"
1t will be remembered that an effort
attributed to the wish of the Executive
was made to attach this proposed meas
ure in the Senate to a joint resolution
originating as the Constitution requires,
in the House of Representatives, to con-
tinue beyond July l, 1885, certain So
called nuisance taxes authority for
which would otherwise have expired on
that date. 1t will also be remembered
that opposition to this highly question
able procedure was at once raised, on
the ground that the so-called amend
ment in itself major revenue-raising
proposal would not be germane to the
purpose of the resolution extending the
expiring law, and would thus be sub
ject to question on the ground of its
constitutionality Not even generally
complacent Senate would risk such a
naneuver.
The analysis of the National Industrial
Conference Board is Enthusiastically sound.
The Presidents taxation proposals are
designed not to raise revenue, but to
set up the basis of a new economic sys-
tenn, as the foundation for new social
system. Or. if not consciously so de-
signed, at least certain if enacted into
law-and sustained by the Supreme
Court-to result in verbally revolu-
tionary departure from the established
social-economic system.
Fortunately the effort to hasten the
adoption OF the new fiscal-social plan
as rider on a tax-extension resolution
failed. 1t now remains to be seen
whether it will succeed on it's own merits
as major measure of legislation, sub
ject to judicial review.

in the streets. Just what proportion Of
the drivers now licensed to operate cars
in the District are thus affiicted with a
ruthless SelfishneSs is not to be de-
termined. Probably the large ma jority
of drivers are law-abiding, considerate
and careful. But it requires only a
few of the wrong kind to cause havoc
on the streets, and those few should
be compelled, by severe penalties. to
realize that they are licensed to drive

Saving the Franc.

Mindless of hostile demonstrations in
the boulevards of Paris, the Laval gov
eminent is proceeding with its drastic
program to save the franc and balance
the French budget. DEGREES just pro-
mulgated to that end provide at a
blow for reduction of more than ten
billion francs roughly $725,000,000) in
government expenditure and heavy in
creases in taxes. The principle actuat-
ing Premier Laval Is that there must be
universal sacrifice if the republics
finances are to be rehabilitated and the
integrity Of its currency protected.
The government has not shrunk from
retrenchment and revenue extremes.
Government employees who constitute
veritable army, have without excep-
ton had their pay reduced by ten per
cent. Every war pensioner is subjected
to the same cut. Even holders of gov
eminent securities will suffer a corre-
spending curtailment of income. Rail-
road workers, poStmen, policemen, school
teachers, all and sundry wearing the
national livery, are required to content
themselves with ninety per cent Of their
rents by ten per cent. On all incomes of
$500 a year or more the tax rate is
raised fifty per cent.
M. Laval took Office on the under
standing that heroic methods would be
invoked to put Frances house in order.
He apprehended popular resentment, OF
which last weeks riots were sympto-
matte, but he relies confidently on
Frenchmen's fundamental and tradi-
tional devotion to sound monetary prin-
ciples. Because of program that hits
wealthy and middle classes alike, he be-
lieves the country will eventually respond
to the governments demand for sacri-
fees on the grand scale all around.
Skeptics wonder whether even these
courageous measures will preserve the
franc from eventual devaluation and
permit maintenance Of the gold stand
ard. In any event, extravagant gov
ernmental spending and borrowing are
brought abruptly to an end. In five
years the public debt has increased by
10000 600, 900 francs, bringing the total
to $4,000, 0O0,0 900, which represents
staggering per capita figure for nation
of 10000, 900.
Already it is predicted that the Laval
ministry's days will be numbered as soon
as the Chamber of Deputies reconvenes
in October and the clamor Of war vet
Grams, labor unions, civil servants and
government bondholders is heard in
organized and vociferous protest. IN
doubtedly dangerous days lie ahead for
the French democracy. An extreme
Leftist government may be installed as
a panacea. Meantime the Laval cab
met is plainly determined to leave no
stone unturned to make the nations
financial structure impervious to shock,
from whatever direction it comes.

A MOvietOne OF ''Faust.o

1t has been announced in New York
that a movietone version of the opera
Faust" is to be made, and music lovers
in general, it may be presumed, will
await further news of the experiment
with interest. The picture, according
to the sponsors plans, is to be done in
full color, and there will be no I'M
necessary abbreviation of the score.
But, before it is too late for such a
suggestion to be of any avail, the ques-
ton as to why Gounod's work should
be chosen for production may be asked.
Granted that it is the composers mas
terpiece and that it formerly enjoyed
universal popularity, the piece does not
seem to possess the values which appeal
to modern audience. The theme is
very old and very trite, and the world
has moved beyond appreciation of it.
Mephistopheles simply is not real in
the twentieth century, and like obser-
walton might be made with equal JUS
tice of the characters of Faust himself
and Marguerite. Also the philosophic
background of the story is one with
which latter-day men and women have
scant patience. 1t is an example of
negative medievalism to which there
no longer can be any sincere response.
Moreover, the best arias of Faust"
unhappily, have been spoiled for large
section of the public by being mangled
by amateurs. Tyro tenors, aspirant
sopranos and high school choruses legion
in number have mutilated the recita-
tive solo parts, the garden scene and the
Soldiers Song" in their struggle toward
local distinction. The music lends itself
to such degradation-it is banal and
too sweet" and lacks the nobility
which an opera needs for its proper
protection against ambitious misuse.
The movietone as an institution has
developed to the point where it is
natural that it should attempt opera.
That much may be conceded without
debate But the first trial may deter
mine the fate of the whole idea. For
that reason, if for no other, a careful
choice of material is imperative. Faust"
of course, is colorful replete with move
ment. spotted with undeniably fine
melody and not too dtficult to stage.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

influence in the recent American Bar
Association election at Los Angeles, but
no tears are visible in administration
quarters over the defeat of James
Montgomery Beck for the presidency of
the organization. From the outset of
the Roosevelt regime it has had no more
consistent or devastating foe than the
former solicitor general of the United
States. His reputation as a conStitu-
tional authority lent great weight to his
assaults on the legality of many New
Deal innovations. On the eve of the
vote in which he was beaten by William
Lynn Ransom, New York utility lawyer,
Beck delivered keynote address calling
for a halt in Capitalization of Govern
ment. The convention heard numerous
committee reports aSSailing New Deal
ventures of questionable constitution
atty. but deferred going officially on
record respecting them. Mr.. Beck lost
the presidency by vote of 209 to 178.

Notably less is being heard of third
party movements. Whether this is due
to cessation of the radio activities of
Father Coughlin and Senator Huey Long,
or to other causes, talk of irregular
presidential candidates. in SO has mate
rally died down. The Kingfish is ex-
pected to give a definite line on his
own intentions during his sound truck
swing around the circle after the ad-
journment of Congress. Senator Borah
is still considered by many authorities
as the best independent bet in sight
but the Idahoan has no fondneSS for
third party movements.
Very latest under the political sun
is the plan advanced by Prof. James
Harvey Rogers of Yale, former Roosevelt
adviser to the Treasury, for a supreme
court" for banking. Speaking before
last weeks American Institute of CO.
operation at Cornell University, Prof.
Rogers advocated such a tribunal as
means of preventing future bull mar
ket of the 1929 type, with its consequent
crash. He toldS that the Eccles banking
bill does not go far enough in its pro-
tective measures and urges the vesting
of more power in central control board,
with members wholly divorced from
politics. Such board, he thinks, should
have authority as wide as that exer-
cised by the United States Supreme
Court.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL.

What to the casual observer would
seem only a small cat, asleep under q
lilac. in reality was a close approach to
a big bad wolf"
He was besieging a house.
The three little pigs" were just cats
and not three but two, kept in for four
months out Of harms way.
Daily and nightly the wolf" roamed
the yard intent on getting at the rightful
occupants of the home.
Fortunately for him, he had come
across friends of his tribe, otherwise no
one would have put up with him.
If he did not exactly declare, "I1l
huff and Ill puff and I'll blow your
house down." at least he did very good
imitation Of 1t in actions.
He launched himself at the window
screens.
He leaped at the back door, where
he was met by his two enemies, fighting
tooth and nail against the screening.
This vast determination on his part
seemed based on nothing more than a
desire to find for himself new home.
1t was as if he had looked the place
over. sampled the food put out on the
back porch for him, and then decided he
would stay.
Not until he went in and out the
door, however, as he chose, could he
call 1t home.
That Is a cats way.
Day and night the wolf" stuck to
his post.
What q little fellow he was, to be
sure! To look at him no one would
suspect the power that lay in his rather
slender body.
When it came to fighting, however,
he was in class by himself.
He was one Of the few cats that in
Stinctively knew Just how to grasp the
foe, just where to kick, just how to bite.
Thousands of cats must battle thou
sands OF hours before such a champion
appears on the feline horizon.
His head was SO large, compared with
his body, that the unobServant were
inclined to call him deformed.
This mumpy character is one of the
signs Of cat fighter.
II it is combined with a slender,
chesty body, lean TANKS and capable
paws the result is fighting machine,

For the sake of those who are not
we'll acquainted with the house cat. it
may be necessary to say that they differ
in temperament even as does man, the
great.
Just as there are men of peace and
men of war, men of games and men of
books. men of music and men of
machines, so there are cats of war and
peace, of instructive growls and purrs
filled with affection or diStruSt.
The wolf" of this story belonged to
the second category.
He viewed the world with deep
suspicion.
Whether he had been the victim of
earlier teasing" at the hands Of
thoughtleSs persons, there would never
be any way of telling.
1t is a curious thing how so many
people who genuinely like animals
nevertheless insist on trying TO treat
cats as if they were dogs.
1t is safe to say. despite the differ
ences in fundamental cat natures, that
