half. I have told her that love her,
but I cannot afford to marry for at
least three years. I am wondering II
my love will last that long. 1 am
afraid that she will become habit
and that will be so used to her that
may marry her without loving her
as should. Is this likely to happen?
Am wrong or foolish in being so
doubtful Of my feelings? BOB.
Answer-I do not think man can
be too careful in analyzing his feel
ingS about q woman before marrying
her and being sure that what he feels
for her Is really q grand passion in
stead Of just passing fancy. Mar
riage lasts a long, long time and 1t
seems longer il you get the wrong
woman for wife.
Whether your love for this partic-
ular girl will last three years, or
through all eternity, I cannot pos
sibly tell. Evidently you have mis-
givtngs on the subject yourself This
shows both prudence and wisdom on
your part, for none Of us know what
We are going to want three years
hence, nor how any person or thing
is going to look to us or appeal to us
then.
We change Our tastes alter. Our
point of view Is different. We out
hnt xa,I,N
once thought alluring we later find
commonplace Those we esteemed
brilliant and witty seem dull and
stupid to us. Those we regarded as
the glass Of fashion and the mold OF
form We look upon as models of bad
taste.
THIS Is what makes long engage
ments or even the pernicious
custom of young people going steady"
with each other to the exclusion OF
other girls and boys such a bad thing
for both parties. 1t often forces them
into marriages for which they have
lost all desire because the man feels
that he is in honor bound to marry
woman after he has blocked her
chances OF mayyring any other man,
and the girl feels that she has to
marry the man whom she has ceased
to love and submit to the humiliation
Of being an unwanted wife because
| he is her last call to the dining car
OF course, no man can keep up q
high-pressure love-making for three
| years. Romance is bound to get
frazz]ed out by being dragged through
the dust OF everyday living for that
long, but worse things can happen
to a man than marrying the girl
who has become q habit with him.
That means that he must find her
congenial, interesting and compan-
ioEable, or he would have dropped
her. There may not be many thrills
in such q marriage, but 1t Is as COM
Portable as an old shoe.
| The happiest marriages are those
| in which husbands and wives have
become habit to each other. They
have adjusted themselves so completely
to each other that they have no life
apart. Each Is necessary to complete
the others pleasure in anything. They
even love each others faults Ma
would rather rub Pas rheumatism
than dance with the handsomest
gigolo in the world. Pa thinks Mas
cooking better than that of the most
famous chef.
But if you have any doubts about
your love for this girl lasting three
| years and whether she will be as
glamorous to you then as she is now,
why not keep yourself free to pick
out the kind Of wife you want when
you want her and are able to marry

NEAR MISS DIX-At what age is
girl considered an old maid and
at what age is a man considered an
old bachelor?
THREE OLD MAIDS.
Answer: These terms are virtually
obsolete Men and women are spoken
Of as young or old, but they are not
put into any particular class because
they are not married. The nearest
definition that can give is to say that
. woman Is an old maid when she
gives up hope Of marrying, and man
Is an old bachelor when he determines
not to marry, and these states of mind
may be arrived at at any age.
NEAR MISS DIX-Is it better to
marry a good-natured, slovenly
wife than a neat, cross one?
Answer: Give me the good-natured
sloven every time in preference to the
acid-tempered neat-as-a-pin one. You
can always live in hotel or board,
but can't get away from vixen.

Twas This Way

@ Western Newspaper Union.


M ALARIA was once the most
1VA feared disease of the tropics.
In Elizabethan times, the malarial
jngles of Africa and other parts
of the Near East were so terrifying
and dangerous to white men that
few Europeans even dared to go
there.
Quinine, the most effective rem
edy for malaria, was accidentally
discovered by an Incan native who
was himself half dead from the
disease. On a trek through the
mountain wilderness of Ecuador, he
was overtaken by the dreaded jun
gle fever. Burning with fever, he
dragged himself to the edge of a
stagnant pool to quench his thirst,
only to find that quina-quina tree
had fallen across it.
Although the medicine men of his
tribe had always supposed the bit
ter-tasting bark of the tree to be
poisonous, the Indian was so far
gone he preferred the swift death
by poison to the lingering one from
fever. So he drank deep from the
pool. In few hours he miraculous
ly felt better, and soon he was
cured.
Returning to his tribe, he carried
his story of the marvellous curative
powers of the quina-quina bark.
Others tried it, and found it had
both curative and preventive pow
ers. By 1910, news of the new
drug had been transmitted to Eu-
rope, where its name was shortened
to quinine.
For time the bark sold at fab
ulous prices, as royalty and wealthy
merchants bid frantically for the
meager supply to cure their aching
limbs. Within a century the tree
had been domesticated and was be-
ing grown commercially in many
parts of the world.

"Rawthah, Old Chappie"

A CONVENTIONAL picture of the
"A typical Englishman to m st
Americans is pompous, be-spatted
individual sporting tightly furled
umbrella and monocle on long
black ribbon. AS matter of fact,
none of these bits of haberdashery
originated in England, and the mon
ocle especially has been accepted
there only in relatively recent times.
Monocle is a hybrid word of
French origin, which suggests that
the single eyeglass may have been
a French invention. The word orig
inally came from the Greek monos,
sole, and Latin oculus, eye, and
literally means one eye. The term
was not even mentioned in the Eng
lish Oxford dictionary before 1858,
and that was considerably before
it became very popular.
The first recorded case of per-
son wearing monocle to ordinary
social functions was a diplomat
named Phillip Won Stosch who wore
single eye-glass while on mission
to Rome. At first he was looked
upon as being little queer, but
before long he had the diplomatic
corps there practicing before their
mirrors with pieces of silver, and
soon it became quite the rage in
Italy. But new fads and fashions
did not spread as rapidly then as
they do now, and it took over a
century for the new sophistication
to reach England. And after many
years of sneering at ''bogus counts"
and "stuck-up frills" here at home,
a number of Americans in the larger
cities may now be seen occasionally
trying out monocles themselves.

Legend of Billy the Kid

TN HIS six years as Western
desperate, Billy the Kid shot and
killed twenty-one men, not counting
Indians. Billy, whose real name
was William H. Bonney, was called
"The Kid" because of his extreme
youth. He shot his first man at the
age of twelve, and he had just
passed his twenty-second birthday
when he was ambushed and killed
by sheriff's posse in Lincoln coun-
ty, New Mexico.
Like many another Western out
law, Billy was born in the East.
Although brought up in Kansas, his
home town was New York City.
Shortly after his father died, young
Billy drilled a man because he had
allegedly insulted his mother.
By the time he was sixteen, Billy
had helped another man kill three
Indian trappers to get their furs.
Two years later he had blazed his
spectacular trail all over the South
west, and had twelve notches in his
gun.
He became so feared by local
police authorities that, like Black
Bart, the famous stage-coach rob-
Der, the governor of New Mexico
territory promised him a pardon
in case of conviction if he would
give himself up. But Billy the Kid
had made too many enemies by
then, and said he would be killed
Immediately if he disarmed, even
though protected by the govern
ment.
Instead, he embarked on a new
series of cattle-rustling and killing
expeditions. Shortly before;h he was
brought down by Sheriff Pat Garrett,
he expressed a wish to kill two
more men, all the notches his gun
would hold.

There is the tale Reuben Gray,
inventor of the Australian starting
barrier now used at Hialeah, tells
about Phar Lap. Many turfrnen
think that Phar Lap was an even
greater thoroughbred than Man o.
War, but no matter about that. He
was good and the big books were
loaded with money on him shortly
before the running Of the Melbourne
Cup one year.
Something had to be done. Some
body tried to do it. Australians are
not quite as subtle as their Ameri-
can brethren. Sp0nges, slow pills
and such modern aids to betting
cOups do not appeal to them.
Phar Lap was cantering around
his training track one day when an
automobile approached. This was
nothing new, people were always
wanting to get glimspe of the
wonder horse. That day, though,
Phar Lap shifted, wheeled around so
suddenly that he almost upset his
jockey. A shot echoed. The automo-
bile sped away.
When investigation was made it
was discovered that if Phar Lap
had not wheeled around SO suddenly
the bullet must surely have bumped
him off. Perhaps that explains the
miSfOrtuneS inflicted upon humans
who lack horse sense.
An enterprising campus reporter
might make a good story-at least
the human interest is there-out of
it. Anyhow, offer the tip as it
came to me from regretful alum
nus the other night.
The boys name is Sullivan. They
say he is the best football player
to enter Princeton in years, that he
is a good student and that he is
stepped in the Tiger tradition. But
he is ineligible because he played
freshman football at a college out
West-a full two minutes, they say.
There are other bits of stories. One
about the ring that Harry Hillman,
Dartmouth track coach, always
wears. 1t came to him in 1904 after
he had won 100, 220, 440 high hurdles
and three-legged race in the annual
Military meet. Lawson Robertson of
Penn was Hillman's partner in the
three-legged event and they still
hold the OIL record for the 100.
Eleven seconds, incidentally, is the
same time Helen Stephens took
while winning the women's 100 in
the Berlin Olympics.
Another short bit is the one con-
corning the touchdown Kansas
scored to beat Iowa State in 1920.
Dayhawkers still call it the Dream
Touchdown" That is because DR..
Phog Allen, then coaching football
at Kansas, went to bed wondering
how to. beat Iowa State. Then
dreamed about the formation which
produced the touchdown.
