EXIINGuISH EIRE

Willow Run area fremen ex-
tinguished a small grass fire at 5:45
p IN. Thursday at Geddes and Har-
ris Rds.
Evening star., 1944-09-26

Half Of the bitter, disgruntled,
peevish wives you know are made
that way by never having any
money Of their own. They resent
the humiliation of having to go to
their husbands, like q beggar, for
every cent and of being regarded as
mendicants. once asked q man
why he worked 50 hard after he was
old and tired, and he replied: II
want to leave my daughters enough
money to insure that their husbands
will treat them politely" Undeni-
ably he had something there. for no
one treats the financially independ-
ent as they do the penniless.
In all good truth, there is nothing
more unjust both to the girl and
the boy she marries than for parents
to put all the money they can rake
and scrape on their daughters back
in order to help her catch a hus-
band, but who send her to him
empty-handed. 1t is nothing but
simple honesty for the fathers and
mothers who rear girl with silk
stocking habits and tastes to settle
enough money on her to buy her
own. intead Of running her poor
young husband in debt for them.
1t may be said that the dowry
system would give rich girls the
priority over poor ones in getting
husbands. but such need not be the
case. For any girl with a good job
can lay up enough money to make
her desirable from a financial, as
we'll as a personal point OF view, if
she has matrimony on her mind.
So I am strong for dowries for
girls. They will do more than any
other one thing to lubricate the
domestic machinery and keep 1t
running smoothly.
