for their lord's return. And I have

pitied . them for weak fools or, censured them as callous creatures who should have foreseen their trouble and refrained from marrying a -man -with habits of inebriety or unfaithfulness As as if one could foresee! How could I foresee in Jim, clean, honorable, capable, intelligent and kindly fellow that he always was to me, an obstinate man, narrow in many of bis views, yet vulnerable to the attacks of a flagrantly vamplretsh woman, and weak enough to lose his grip on his profession through suffering one dishonest blow? How could I? Yet the fact remains that I sit alone in our home tonight with no word from my husbands, no pathway of belief open to me except that he ' is either with this woman. Fanny Friable, or drugging his burdened mind with alcohol. . Driven almost to f rency with nervousness I have Just called up Athena, who at once offered to come over and stay with me. - "But don't be too readily frightened," she bade me, in her worldly wisest tone. "Remember, chicken, there are lots pf explanations lying around that nobody ever thinks of. Yet they

They'll

clear tomorrow, I bet you! well, come to me later if you get the jimjams. But don't be hasty. It never pays." " Athena's friendly wisdom cheers me a little. But my courage and patience do not last. It is unbearable this suspense. Jim has no right to torture me. ' In these days of telephone and a dozen ways of covering time and

Heart Problems j

' 'Dear 'Mrs.. Thompson: I have noth

ing, to ask only to tell, what I think of the- girl who signed "Daughter and Wife."' I do not want her cease loving her mother for I think every child born

into the world should love its mother

but her mother can cause her a great

deal of pain; more than she will ever realise. I am married and have 2 dear

little girls, 6 years and the other 15

months old. When, we were first mar

ried my husband's mother wanted us to live with them until spring and she

almost turned ua against each other,

We quarreled always and she told him what to say at first. I cried then and I didn't care for family peace. I do

not love my husband, but for the chil

dren's sake I live with him for I think they need a father's love and care as

much as that of a mother. What

would like for this young wife to see is that she will be spared many hours

of tears and worry. I try to treat my mother-in-law nicely and say the right

at the right time but it won't come out

right. My married li' is a failure and I am not happy but it is duty before

love. E. B. k.

Again we hear the old story "one roof not large enough for two families" and indeed it seems that this is all too

true. ' It Is always better to live alone, than with either's parents. I hope that

your life will soon change and you

will again be happy. If you keep .on

trying and do the right thing, I feel

sure that things will take a turn for

the better before long.

As a Woman Thinketh " . BY HELEN ROWLAND

(Copyright. 1919. by The ..Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) WHY IS A HUSBAND? (Copyright, 1919, By the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) Of course, It's awfully nice to be "modern," and independent, and self-sufficient and all that! But. accept it from ME, EVERY woman needs a husband.

If only to give the house a "home

like feeling," and a "finished" look!

If only for somebody to come home,

after the housework is all done.

And tell her how it OUGHT to have

been done.

If only, for something besides the

clock, to make a noise around the

place. If only as a certificate of respect

ability in the community and a decoration for her table at dinner parties. Like the engraved silver and centerpiece. If - only for somebody to stay at home and keep her mind at rest, while she goes to church and cultivates the spiritual life, for the family. If only as a bogle with which to threaten the maid and keep the butler in his place. If only as the outward sign of a real tip, with which to impress waiters and bell-boys. It only for somebody to play Santa Claus to the children, and carve the turkey. If only for somebody to brag about to the neighbors, and . to "quote," when she wants to impress her club. If only as an instrument of self-discipline. To remind ber that - she is getting fat, Or that her hats are too young. Or that she is becoming careless about her shoes, or her finger nails, or the buttons on her gloves, or the fit of her stays, ' And to prevent her from EVER feel lng vain or self-satisfied. If . only to help her to cultivate patience, And forbearance, and self-sacrifice, and-self-control, and tact, self-renunciation!

II only lor something to worry

about, and fuss over, and coddle, and "mother," and "reform," If only for somebody to hunt up things for her to do! And finally.

If only for something to distract her

mind from SERIOUS matters, And take it off the Peace Treaty, the . League of Nations, the strikes, nnd the Russian Revolution. And keep it on ham and eggs and darning needles! Of course, . Every woman needs a husband (

And, for reasons which should just

as inconsequential. And are quite as VITAL, Every man needs a wife(

Automobile Owner Put

In Jail by Anderson

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 23. Theodore Chauncy, of West Terre Haute, who was arraigned in federal court before Judge A. B. Anderson, to explain why

he had failed to appear for arraignment July 7, told the judge he did not

have the money to make the trip.

The judge then inquired of the

prosecutor if he knew anything of the

state of Chauncey s finances.

, "I understand he is the owner of

two large automobiles, your honor,"

said the prosecutor.

"Put him in jail." said the judge

"I guess we will be able to find him

after this when we want him."

Senator Beveridge Gets

Ovation at Plymouth

PLYMOUTH, Mass., Dec. 23 Albert

J. Beveridge, former senator from Indi

ana, received an ovation here last

night when he spoke at the celebration of the . two hundred and ninetyninth anniversary of the landing of

the Pilgrims.

In a masterly discussion of the prob

lems confronting America today, Mr,

Beverldge showed that the country has

been drifting away from the basic principles that have enabled it to 'endure,

and declared that he time has come for a firm stand against the "isms" and innovations that selfish classes are

trying to Introduce.

- The time has come, he declared, to put a stop to the coercion of the gov. eminent" by groups of men, whether

capitalists or workers, if America is to continue as a government by all

the people.

He condemned the Adamson law and

the settlement of the recent coal

strike as a surrender by the admin!

stration of the rights of the people to

a particular group.

Question of Credit

May he Discussed at January Conference VALPARAISO, Dec. 23. Chile expects that tho extension of credits to South American countries bv the

bankers and business men of the United States will be brought up before the Second Financial Pan-American conference at Washington in January.

ine nrst conforence held in 1915. de

clared that solution of this question of i

creait was essential. National credits ajso will bo considered by the conference. In spite of the - enormous gold reserves accumulated in tho banks of the United

States during the war, it seems evident to Chileans that these banks are not yet in a position to make investments in South America. Evidence of this is scon in the difficulties encountered in negotiating tho 315,000.000 loan of the Chilean government to obtain funds to buy railroad material. It is felt here that, in the matter of public credits, North American bankers cbould learn from North American merchants.' Chilean business men believe that North American merchants - are beginning to understand better the mutual convenience to be derived from the extension of 60 to 90 days credit on bills against the South American houses. This has been the practice of European merchants dealing with those of South America. Other matters to come before the Financial Pan-American conference, as outlined here, are uniform legislation on letters of exchange, . checks, and cargo manifests; steps to facilitate exchange of products between American nations and adequate transportation facilities between the Uniced States and South America.

VIENNA, Dec. 23. The Austrian republic is passing through a "state's rights" crisis very similar to that which marked an earlier stage of the American republic. v Provinces are demanding a high degree of independence from the central government, and in some of them,, such as the Tyrol

and Upper Austria and Syria, it amounts to almost complete auton-1 omy. If their demands are eventually granted about the only thing: that would be left to the Central government would be' the foreign relations and regulations of foreign import and export . traffic and limited . taxation. ' I The states insist upon their rights! to levy export duties on goods des-' tined for other states. Students ofj the situation say that this is merely I a phase of the transition stage through which the new republic is passing and j gradually will cure itself. i The conservative provincial popu-! lation, the peasantry and bourgeoise look upon Vienna as the seat and source of communism or the "Reds.".

Feeling is intense against this city, which at present is virtually non-productive and has 2,000,000 people demanding food, and the provinces refuse to fulfill the contracts made last spring for food supplies.
