FAITH IN MARRIAGE IS LIKE BELIEF IN FAIRY TALES

But Even If It Doesn’t Work Miracles, Wouldn’t It Bea Dry-as-Dust Old World If the Glint of Romance That Goes With It Would Depart? By Martha Lee Marriage the miracle worker. It’s a tradition of ours that marriage is just that. In our childhood, we love to believe in fairies. We adore suspecting that wind-blown brown leaves will, at the turn of an eyelash, turn into little brown pygmies, or that fairy gold flecking in the sunshine, will descend into our hands.

We never get entirely over this, only we turn our miracle-faith Into other things. Marriage Is one of them. The sulky, jealous wooer will turn into a sweet tempered husband; the thin, nervous girl into a placid good natured home maker; the loafer into a peppy “go-getter;” the shallow mind into a well of Intriguing estAll these things and more we believe that the magic marriage ceremony, chanted over lilies and smilax will accomplish. It won’t and it doesn’t. But wouldn’t It be a dry-as-dust old world if the glint of romance and the faith that goes with it would depart? She’s Childlike and Extravagant Dear Martha Dee: A man should have a’ mother or sister to talk with when he has a situation like the one I want to ask your advice about. As I have neither. I should much appreciate your opinion about this. I am a young professional man ana I had never intended to tret married until I sot a i?ood start, but have about changed my mind. This is the reason. Six months ago, I met a girl that has reversed every idea I thought I had. about the woman I should have thought I would want to marry. She’s not serious a moment. is ve*v childlike, and —I’ll have to confess, terribly extravagant and somewhat spoiled, being an only child of parents who adore her. My better judgment tolls me that I should not marry her. but I’m crazy abbut her. SYD. Isn’t there some plan through | which you could flee the country for a few months, Syd?—for it’s dollars to doughnuts, you’re going to find this marriage something of an obstruction for a young professional man. With you, my better judgment would say don’t marry—yet but as marriage is a lottery, of course this may turn out well. However, If you can possibly persuade yourself to wait a year or two, I think you’ll some day highly congratulate yourself. Try This Simple Method For Blackheads If you are troubled with these unsightly blemishes, get two ounces of Calonite powder from any drug store. Sprinkle a little on a hot, wet cloth and rub over the blackheads. In a few minutes every blackhead, big or tittle, will be dissolved away entirely.—Advertisement.

He Wants to Separate Dear Martha Lee: I am a young married woman, 25 years old and have been married eight years. I have a little girl six years old. She has always lived with her grandparents as they can provide a better home for her than we can. Now Miss Lee. my husband has decided that he wants to separate from me. He says that it will be only for awhile as he says he loves me more than life itself. I almost feel like committing suicide—l would if it were not for my baby. Shall I get a job and go my way? UNDECIDED. If I were you, I would work to keep this marriage' from going on the rocks when there seems to be no good reason why it should. The first thing I would do would be to bring his child and your child home. Your child doesn’t need and couldn’t have a better home than the one her own parents can provide, if they will make the effort. I think your husband is just restless and wants a change. Bringing the child home will provide him with anew interest. Don’t leave him and don’t get an outside job. The one you have at home is quite big enough. Her Husband a Stay-at-Home Dear Martha Lee: I should appreciate your advice. I have been married almost, a year. I am 18 years old and my husband is 20. He makes good money but absolutely refuses to go any place. He always says he is “too tired," or else he makes some othe rexcuse. Now Miss Lee. it surely is getting on my nerves, sitting here just as good as by myself. He always has his nose in a book. He always says he doesn’t care I if I go to the theater or wherever I want to go. I dislike to go any place by myself. What would you do? BECKIE. Marriage is a series of adjustments to another’s tastes and inclinations —unless the adjusting is mutual. If he does not take your inclinations into consideration why not do your going about in the day time? You can so arrange your work that some of it can be left for the evening when he is home and you can go to the theater etc., in the afternoon. Perhaps his work if of such nature that he really is tired out. Be careful that you’re fair to him in this. He Wants Friends Dear Martha Lee: I have been reading your column for gome time and would appreciate it if you could suggest to me how- I could get acquainted in Indianapolis. I have lived here for about six months and have not been able to make any friends—that is girl friends, and of the kind that I would like to know. I am not a sheik or a drug store cow boy. Thanking you in advance. LONESOME K. K. One way to meet the kind of persons that you want to know is to go where they are. Have you church affiliations? At some of the young people’s meetings I should think you would meet some of the interesting and nice girls that you would like to meet. Visit the secretary of the Y. M. C. A. here, have a frank talk with him and see if lie can’t direct you. Joining certain clubs would also in time bring you into contact with the young relatives of the members. Borah Disavows Plan to Seek Presidency 81l United Prrst WASHINGTON, May 3.—A published report indicating Senator Borah (Rep.), Idaho, had ambitions for an organization to push him for the presidency in 1928, on a thirdparty ticket, were denied by Borflh today. The Senator said the article referred to a letter he wrote dealing with a subject entirely different from a third party. Besides, the Senator does not intend to leave the Republican party, he said. Borah was one of the Senators who refused to follow Roosevelt in his split against the regular Taft Republicans in 1912.

Elephants and Circus Are on View Today

Here they are—fifteen of them, big and little—the famous Sells-Floto elephants, the best educated of any in this country. Several are fresh from the circus animal high school at winter quarters, Peru, Ind., where ever since their arrival In this country last fall they had daily been in the hands of instructors.

WAR PATRIOTISM IS BLAH FOR THE WOMEN Time Will Come When Mothers Will Not Be Duped by High Sounding Praises, Says Writer.

By Mrs. Walter Ferguson “Mothers Lauded by War Chief,” reads a newspaper headline. You women who have been fed the same sort of stuff for generations will know just about what the article contained. All about our being the backbone of the Nation (we share that honor with the poverty-stricken farmer), about our heroism, our patriotism, our nobility and self-sacrifice; about when the call to arms comes the mothers of the land are happy to give up their sons for their country. Perfect blah, of course. The men have always doled out this sort of propaganda, especially if they glimpsed war clouds on the horizon. For the truth is that wars would never be fought if women had anything much to say on the subject. Women are against war, which is an outstanding mark of their superior intelligence. When the crisis comes and the inevitable occurs, an inevitable which is always precipitated by the foolishness of men, it is true that women face their ordeal with courage. Not because they would, but because they must. How much have they ever had to say about any war that was ever fought in the world? Exactly nothing. Yes, indeed, the mothers are lauded. Those who now wear the Gold Star gave up their sons to die in France, and for what? Oswald Garrison Villard, authority

I’m Most Grateful Every Month Here’s glorious news for long-suf-fering woman kind to every woman who periodically has suffered pain. Menstruation need no longer be painful. And it is Science that is speaking! Specialists have developed a tiny tablet called inidol. It’s a simple thing, utterly harmless to a girl of fourteen, but it brings relief in five to seven minutes. And is effective twelve hours or longer. Midol is NOT a narcotic. It has no effect whatever on heart or nervous system. It acts directly on those organs affected by menstruation. They function normally, as they should, but the pain is banished. Complete relief—yes, perfect comfort—follows midol. Your druggist has midol for 50 cents, in a slim aluminum box to tuck in your purse. Takes Pain Off the Calendar

is also due in large measure to the older elephants with the show, for “bull men” depend upon their older charges to a great extent In teaching the elephants practically fresh from the jungles all that Is necessary in the matter of routine. Elephants learn quickly and a description of methods used in training makes an interesting but long story, but that the course is a thorough one will be clearly demon-

upon the subject, says rightly that America lost the war of ten years ago, because the things for which she fought was never realized. In eleven European countries today despots reign and the dream" of world democracy is farther away than ever. The idealism of which we talked and wrote, whither has it vanished? The time will some day come when the mothers of the land will not be duped again by such high sounding phrases. The hour will

Today’s woman sees through them. And she wants them not. If she goes forth voluntarily and gives her sons, then let her be called by her rightful name, the Sword Bearer, who destroys as well as creates humanity. If she goes forth as she has ever gone, compelled by men to do so, then let her be called by that name which has been hers since wars began, the Martyr.
