“Captain Madison will ride with nrc," explained the Commissioner, and led the way to a. long biack sedan. He and Bill climbed in the back and the young Superinten- dent seated himself beside. the dirver. Hardly had they taken tircir seals than the Superinten- dent blew a. whistle, and the en- tire cavalcade moved off.

Four motor-cyclists rode ahead the remainder of the vans, escorted by motor-cyclists on either side, As the machine. roared through the busy itreris", clanging gangs cleared a way for them, and they raced at. a high speed to the Settlement limits.

“Of course, this raid is illegal.’ smiled the Commisioner, "and Tm afraid the Chinese Govern- ment will make a fuss it n. turns out a false alum. Still we cant risk uiylthing."

"Nb." replied Bill. “Anyhow, I'm pretty sure there must be some- f-hlns very wrong. Let's hope to God we get there in time to help those two fellows."

If Males Want to Continue to Predominate in Business, the Arts and Skill, Then They Must Strive to be Better Men Than Are the Women

Dear- Miss Dix-I am a business woman and, of course, am thrown with many men in my work. One of their favorite topics of lamentatiou 5 is the pitiful state of the world since women got the vote. According to them. men are being deprived of all their ec- onomic, political and social rights because women are appropriating jobs, offices, salar- ies and the mastery of the home. It seems to me ,as a middle-axed woman who would be glad to surrender Job and her independ- ence for a home, a husband", a family, that if the conditions of woman's ' ‘apendence are so menacing to the world men ought to do something about it instead of merely crab- hing. If women have ‘- ‘ themselves up W B lflflrle of equality with men, why don't men push themselves still higher to a. Plane 0f Slllierlvrity? If men object to married women holding Jobs, why don't, they come m an understanding before marriage that their _ wives are not to combine homemaking will. p wage-admins? I believe that most womei. ‘ for all their talk of equality, would like lo feel that men are their super , rors in wisdom Jln strength and in high-mindedness. so 1f mm "e 511;. cere Lil their regret for their lost position as lords and masters of the un. verse, the remedy is at hand. They have only to be superman. A WAGE-EARNER.

i Right you are, ssler. Maybe it is traditional, maybe it, l5 because Gm} made ern that way, but it is true that women want to look up to men and 1r. is a blrghtrng disappointment to them when men Won't let them do it. Every wonrrm. wants to put her own man on a pedestal and bum incense at his feet. and when her little tin god tumbles off his perch and she sees m?" m‘ lsllolhlllk but a fake—sornethlng that she has built up in her

i own .n1.lguruti0rr~rt breaks her ireart and fills her with Shame for him, and for herself that she has loved so poor a, thing.

_ Of course, WilEil men blame Women for everything that is vrrong in t this upset old‘ world, it is merely an alibi for their own faLures. For men i are still runcung theCover-nment and industry and women have a. very , small ringer in the pic. We have no woman President. No woman at lilelilCflfi of the steel trust ,or any automobile industry. No woman n“- anclers running big banks. You don't hear the go-getterg complaining about lire competition of women. Joe Louis isn't worrying over any woman challenging him for the championship. The men who have me bruins and strength are still superior to women. In a family when me wife trltrlelf tltrie roost it is because she has more sense and mitiative than her

us an .

When men complain so bitterly about women working outside of the home they ignore two very important things: One is that a woman has JLLSL as much right to life, liberty and the pursuit of a Job as they have. And. secondly, that mighty few women work for the love 0i‘ it. They work because they need the money. There is notlmng so alluring, exciting anu amusing about pounding a typewriter all day, or standing behind a coun- ter that would cause any sane woman to leave a comfortable home just for . the diversion she got out of it.

Nearly every woman would rather have a husband, a home and a baby than a job. when a girl goes to work she doesn't look forward to spend- ing her whole llfe keeping books or selling blouses or whatnot. It is Just a makcslriit to carry ner- tine-ugh the lean days until she gets a man b0 brim lrolne the bacon. When, after marriage she continues to work, it is because her husband cannot make enough to support them in comfort, or because she feels that. she can help him to get along faster by adding her earning power to his.

It is all just part of a new economic era, and if men want to dominate .t they iruve gut to shov.‘ that they are better nlen than the womm are.

Dear Miss Drx—1 am very much in love with a young man whose wife died less than a year after their marriage. Upon her deathbed she made him promise that he would not marry again. He feels bound to keep this promise, although he loves me very much. We have now come to the place where we must nrzu-ry or. break Jlilta he intends to go away and try to forget rnc. What should I do? DESPERAT . Answer:

i i

i i Answer:

It does not seem possible that in this practical mud sophisticated age that any young man would let a promise, wrung out 0f him by the stress I of a. deathbed scene, wreck the happiness of his whole future life. So I ‘ am inclined to think that your Boy rhriend doesn't want to marry you and 1S using that as a camouflage behind which he is making his getaway.

If, however, he is sincere in his protestations of affection and is giv- ing you up because he promised his wife that he would not marry agair, he is showing more sentiment than sense. i-ie must know that such a promise is far better broken than kept, and that the sacrifice of the hap- piness of two lives should not be made on the altar of a superstition that there is something peculiarly sacred and binding in a. promise made to the dead.

ln fact, of all promises they are the ones that there is the least rea- e011 to keep because, as a general thing, the dying are not in full possess- ion of their facilities and do not realize what they are asking. Their re- quests are just the last flare-up of earthly selfishness and vanity, and it is tragic to think that these may impose a martyrdom upon others.

Surely it can add nothing to the bliss of a soul in heaven to know that because of a promise he or she wrung out 0f a. loved one that A worrran is spending her life in poverty and hard work and loneliness be- cause she is bound by a promise not to marry and so has to turn away from the love and comfort some good mam oflers her; or some man is going through dreary years. oompaaonless, homeless, childless because a. wife bound him never to put another in her place. Such promises should never be made or kept. ___>_____ DORO'1‘H_YDI1_C.
