French War Prisoners
Declared in Need of Food

V1CHY, France, Aug. 10 R.-
French war prisoners of Germany,
100000 to 100000 of whom are
held in the German-occupied por-
tions of France, are badly in need
of food and medical attention,
Richard Allen, European delegate
of the American Red Cross, reported
yesterday after a tour of the %
prison camps.
Mr. Allen, after conferring here
with the American Charge DAT
faires. Robert D. Murphy, prepared
to go to Geneva for negotiations to
alleviate the prisoners condition.
Mr.. Allen reported the prisoners
have a poor quality of bread and
soup, a few vegetables, and meat
once a week, when it can be
obtained.
No medical supplies are available,
he said, although one camp is suf-
fering a severe influenza epidemic
and dysentery is appearing in many
others.
The civilian population of the
occupied area is not yet feeling the
food pinch, Mr.. Allen reported, but
he predicted their plight would be-
come critical by winter.

Dorothy Dix Says go
Stay Single Unless Willing to
Face the Odds in Marriage

DEAR MISS DIX: The reason that
I have never married is because, after
having observed the married lives
of so many of my friends and rela-
tives, it seemed to me that it didn't
pay. 1t appeared to me that there
was no percentage in 1t for the man,
for all he got for the privilege of
supporting a wife was being Jones
who pays the freight. Most of the
married men that I know are
deathly afraid of their wives and
are driven to lying to furnish an
alibi for staying downtown for din
ner occasionally. I believe marriage
should be a fifty-flfty partnership
where the individual rights should
be respected, but wives evidently do
not approve of this ratio. So. as I
figured that If I married I would
lose 80 per cent of my independence
and have only 10 per cent for my
self, concluded 1t was a bad bar
gain and have stayed single, though
I still believe in marriage. For
others. BACHELOR.
Answer-Undoubtedly the awful
examples of marriage that we
see all about us are enough to
scare any but the foolhardy from
going into such a risky venture
Fortunately, however, Cupid throws
stardust in the eyes of the young
and blinds boys and girls to the
chances they are taking and makes
them believe that this can't happen
to us, so the wedding bells continue
to ring merrily on. And, really, after
all, the holy estate isn't as bad as
it seems to looker-on, or else those
who have tried it once wouldn't be
rushing back into it, as they almost
invariably do when they lose their
mates by death or divorce.
One would think that the hus-
bands and wives whose marriage
had been one continual fight would
be so glad when the battle was over
that they would be happy to live in
peace and singleness forever after.
But they don't. They are miserable
until they get into the scrimmage
again. Which leads to the newt
able conclusion that for many hus-
bands and wives the pleasure of
marriage is scrapping.
One would think that the men
who had had nagging wives, and
the women who had been married
to tyrranical husbands, once they
regained their freedom, would never
risk losing it again. But they do.
They simply stick out their necks
for the yoke again.
OF course, the ideal theory of
marriage is for a couple to go into
it on the fifty-fifty basis, but I
doubt if this can ever be carried out
in actual life. Woman by the very
nature of things has to sacrifice
more in marriage than a man does
She is more bound down by home

Solidarity Need Stressed
Federation Hears Mrs. Dunbar
And Mrs. Wiley Tell About Trip

Clubwomen who visited South
America on a goodwill tour this
summer returned home convinced
Of the need for continental solidarity
and of an immediate necessity for
mutual agreement between the
Americas in the field of economic
relations, Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar,
president of the General Federation
of Women's Clubs, said yesterday.
Mrs. Dunbar and Mrs Harvey W..
Wiley, chairman of the federation's S
division of Indian welfare. discussed
their trip before members and
guests of the District Federation at
benefit entertainment at General
Federation headquarters.
Urging the Importance of eco
nomic planning for the Americas,
Mrs. Dunbar referred to the unfa-
vorable exchange which prohibits
many Latin Americans from visiting
this country. She was told by the
President of Uruguay, she said, that
to send his son to college here would
require a sum equivalent to his
salary as president.
Mrs. Dunbar also emphasized her
belief there would not be complete
continental solidarity until Spanish
is spoken and understood in this
country. She also saw the need for
a knowledge of Portuguese.
More Scholarships Held Need.
Other conclusions reached by the
clubwomen, she said, were that there
should be tremendous increase"
in scholarships for Latin American
students and in exchange of stu
dents and professors; that there is
need for cultural understanding,
and that some projects should be
developed for creating a better un-
derstanding in Latin America of the
people of the United States.
"It is an indictment against U.S."
she declared, that Latin American
women say when they come here
they are entertained beautifully in
our hotels and our country clubs
but that they never see our homes. F."
Mrs. Dunbar also saw an "im-
perative need for the United States

America is concerned.

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-Surprise at
the official Government crop report
issued late yesterday and good over
night rains in drought areas of the
corn belt served to depress grain
prices today.
Trade was more active at the
start than for several days, but the
selling encountered support after
declines of cent had been regis
tered in wheat and corn and trade
slowed down considerably.
The trade was surprised because
the official estimates were much
larger than had been anticipated in
the small grains, and also because
the heat and drought had failed to
cut down the expected corn crop
forecasts as much as expected.
The official estimate that corn
production had been cut an esti-
mated per cent was a far cry from
the trade guesses which had ranged
as high as Is per cent.
Good overnight rains in Illinois
and indications of rain in Ohio and
Indiana, all three States having
been afflicted with heat and drought,
also served to depress the corn
market.
Declines in May and December
wheat pulled those options down to
the lowest levels of the season. Oats
were weakened by the heavy esti-
mated crop and the May delivery
dropped to the lowest levels of the
season.
Lard and soybeans, both subject
to pressure in recent days, were
steady at the start. Rye was un-
changed.
At II am. corn had recovered
some of its early loss and was 1s-M
lower than yesterdays finish. Sep

wheat was ss-7s down, September,

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: My hus-

ried for over eight years. Through
both our efforts we have established
good business and are doing
nicely. Now my husbands parents,
who have always ignored us, are
making gestures of friendship to
us. Their only original objection
was that they did not want my hus-
band to marry. incidentally, they
are very comfortably situated and
I do not want to refuse any offer
of generosity they might make, but
which would be ironical now that
We are out Of financial difficulty.
1t is hard, however, for me to be
big enough to even speak to them
Am I wrong? R. E. T.
Answer think so. There is
nothing that pays such bitter divi-
dends as to cherish a hatred toward
any one. 1t fills your own life with
emotions that poison it and takes
the pleasure out of everything you
do. The only recipe for happiness
is to forgive and forget the wrong
that has been done you.
