they will try, they can have a happy
married life, and it is so much worth

AnSWer-1n these days, when the
world Is filled with the crash of
wrecked homes. it is good to get a let
ter OF cheer like this one that reminds
US that, all reports to the contrary,
marriage Is not failure, that there are
husbands and wives who love each
other and that there are happy homes
| We are shocked when we hear that
one marriage out OF every six ends In
divorce, but even those appalling fig
ures show that five-sixths Of marriages
turn out at least satisfactory, and that
H by Tar larger per cent of successes
than any other undertaking shows.
Many men and women fail in marri-
age. but they fail also as lawyers and
doctors and merchants and farmers.

| THERE is nothing the matter with
marriage any more than there Is
with the grocery trade. or banking, or
the beauty industry. In all of them
some are happy, some miserable. Some
make fortunes, some go bankrupt. The
results always depend upon the man
or woman who went into the enterprise
and how much intelligence and pa
tience and industry and energy he or
she was willing to put into the job.
Those marriages are happy and
| when the husband and wife love each
| other: when they are willing to make
cheerfully the sacrifices that domes-
tic life inevitably entails; when they
are willing to do teamwork, and when
they are willing to put all that they
| have OF head and heart into making
their marriage success.
And those marriages are a failure
when the husbands and wives are self
ish and each is determined to rule the
| roost: when they are not willing to
settle down and find their interest and
entertainment in their own home.
| When they still want to be playboys
and playgirls and have their little

You'll say yes, too" he finished for her,
closing her mouth with sudden kiss.
Bright and early next morning Arizona was
walking up and down the shopping center of
the great ship. pretending to look at the
luxurious wares displayed in the shop win
dows, but in reality she had one eye on the
corridor from which she expected Tony to
emerge shortly.
Arizona was feeling exceptionally fit after
an hour in the gymnasium where she had lust
experienced the unique sensation of riding
seven-gaited saddle without any horse under
it. The ''gallop" had given her plenty of
exercise, but left her critical.

The way to quit wondering is to find
out, Arizona retorted MARK your man for
me, sheriff, and III see can bring him in
alive. And you better keep clear of me while
I'm working.''
The observation cocktail bar was flooded
with sunshine at the noon hour, and crowded
with gay people seated at little tables on the
raised platform just inside the great sweep
of window that revealed bright waves dancing
ahead. Arizona, perched on high stool at the
semi-circular bar, toyed with Martini which
she did not drink. and watched, not the
sparkling panorama of the water, but the
faces of two men who stood few feet avav.
One was Vickerling. and she noted that he
was youngish and not unhandsome.
Looks like white man," she decided
mentally, but the brzzard with him is an
outlaw. That must be the big racing gambler
Bills. The one the barkeeper told me about.
Gosh, l like men who live on HOSES, but
not the ones who live off hosses!''
Vickerling and Mr. Bills we're having a
hot argument and their voices were easily
audible above the din of conversation about
them. Both, it was easy to deduce, were the
type that would bet on anything at the drop
of hat, but beyond that they had little in
common. Vickerling, tall, slender, fine-featured.

and the young lady in here at all,

We'll, we're getting right out, said Tony
before we run any more risk of trouble!'
On their way up to the promenade deck,
Arizona was thoughtful and disturbed.
AS much as his job was worth" she NUT
tered angrily. Il saw you slip him that
twenty dollar bill and appreciate you buying
me ticket to see the prettiest show I've laid
eyes on in long SPELL But. Tony, he oughtn't
to have taken that money. He's not allowed
to have visitors, Blue Runner isn't, and that
low-down, no-account, and-changing musk
rat took bribe! Personally, wouldn't put
him in charge of a fence-eating mule!
Mule" said Tony. That's the word -
mule! Charles Vickerling! Mule - don't you
get the connection? Doesn't the name mean
anything to you?"
Tony had guessed rightly, and when
Arizona finally recalled the name, she stopped
dead in her tracks.
"Vickerling" she said. 'Why, that's the
man who owns the old brownstone house
right next to your fathers store - the house
that's been preventing you from building an
addition for years!'
The building Vickerling has been such a
mule about. Right" cried Tony excitedly
'"Oh, Arizona can't you see what God-sent
opportunity this is? Every representative

She indicated the moonlit
waters far below the towering
mesa of the ship, which was
blowing its way so surely and
grandly towards America. And

broad sweep of the deck.

There was only one thing
about the beautiful animal
which they found housed in
what Arizona called the finest
corral afloat, that Arizona did
not like. And that was Blue

enormous gray eyes drinking
in the perfect dignity and grace

Mr.. Vandenberg's Amendment
New York Times

New York Times
The child labor amendment submitted by
Senator Vandenberg ought to command overwhelm-
ing Congressional support Its phraseology removes
any fears doubts that reasonable might have
felt regarding the old amendment Under the new
proposal Congress would still be granted power to
limit and prohibit" child labor, but the
biguous power to regulate" is removed. The Con-
gressional power to limit and prohibit rs granted
to all labor" of children but merely to labor for
hire" The amendment will apply only to persons
under ,l6, making it specifically child labor
amendment than the present proposal, which is de-
signed to all persons under 49, Most important
of all the new amendment is to be submitted to
specially elected State conventions instead of to
Legislatures. In this way the question be carried
directly to the people.
If Mr.. Vandenberg is correct in believing that
Congress- in submitting amendment to State con-
ventons has the right to set the time for the calling
Of such conventons-and many constitutional auhor-
ties believe that it has-then he is justified in decar
ing that his amendment could be ratified within 90
days if the full power of the Administration put
behind it, It has been suggested that the President
might refuse to support new amendment of this
sort the ground that the long delay in approval
of the old child labor amendment has been the chief
argument against referring the proposal to enlarge
the court directly to the people in the form of
the President, of all people, would do anything to
prolong the exploitation of children for day simply
in the hope of scoring political point

means reassuring that have changed much, at
least much for the better. At hand is the Christmas
issue of the San Francisco News Letter dated Deem

The News Letter professed Indignation in the issue
at the fact that the United States was spending
$70000000 for the payment of pensions, and called
to witness the statement of the San Francisco Ex-
amner that "the substituting of nearly million
voters is political crime" These facts" the News

GOOD NEWS FOR ALASKA

The best news that Alaska has received in many
a the assurance yesterday from President
Roosevelt that the price of gold is not going to be
lowered. 49, ps.f ,,.a..- -...s
Probably nothing has stimulated business in the
Territory much the raise in the price of gold
three years ago from S2067 cents an ounce to $35
1t not only broadened the pay streak of the existing
operations but it revived interest in prospecting
and whipped up development of hitherto dormant
properties which could not be profitably operated
under $40 gold Officials report that not since the
in Alaska as in the last two seasons and the prospect
is that will be cut looking for the precious
metal this season
That means Alaska development. II means that
new finds will be made in the many metallic regions
that the Territory known to have and such proper
ties will be put in operation adding to the flow of
gold from the Territory and bringing with it build
service to such operations.
AS Delegate Dimond pointed out again yesterday
in news dispatch from Washington slash in the
price of gold would be body blow for the vast
development program which the Territory and Federal
government is planning for Alaska. The major part
of that program is built the prospect of mineral
development. Such developments, for example that
have taken place the last two years in the Goodnews
Bay region the Forty Mile and in other rich mineral
regions throughout the Territory.
Those golden words indeed from the Presi-
dent for this gold-bearng country that he knows OF
plan to lower the price of gold

AS the spring progresses farmers

This is not a favorable rule UNI

may be a tendency towards per-
