AGAINST WAGES FOR WIVES
Gathering of Women Ridicule the Idea,
Labeling It as "Commercializ
ing the Home."
Wages for wives were turned down
by an audience largely of women hero
the. other night nfter a debate on
whether husbands should be required
to pay such wages, says the Philadel
phia Evening Bulletin.
One speaker drew a dismal picture,
of the future of romance with wives
working for wages.
"Imagine n scene like this," he said:
"Honey, do you love me?"
"Of course I love you."
"Then will you marry me?"
"Well, mnyho. How much do you
pay?"
"Suppose the wives were to Join
tho soviet of walters-up and charge
triple wages for waiting up nights for
husbands," he said.
"Imagine a wife going Into society
and being labeled a 15-n-week wife. A
woman can take a lost-year hat and
moke It look like new. Hut when she
signed a contract for 15 a week there
would be no hiding It from tho neigh
bors." Another speaker pleaded that "wom
an shall not be brought down from her
pedestal as n queen and made n more
employee of man." In depicting tho
future of romance under tho wage sys
tem ho said tho marriage ceremony
would have to bo revised to read :
"With this ring I hire thee, and will
pay theo ?15 n week by tho aid of the
world, tho flesh aud tho devil."
Notices like tho following ho pro
dieted would bo published:
"Married John Brown and Mnry
Smith, by Rev. Russell II. Conwell.
They will llvo In Logan and tho wife's
wages will bo $15 a week."
Scenes llko the following In court
were forecast:
"Judge, he hired mo for $20 a week
and ho Is now two weeks overduo in
my pay. I'm going to get n new boss."

EVERY other cigarette you ever smoked
stopped somewhere short of giving
you what Chesterfields can and do give
the greater enjoyment of a cigarette that
satisfies.
Chesterfields do more than please the tasts.
They go straight to your "smoke-spot". They
let you know you're smoking. They satisfy
just as a bite before bedtime satisfies when
you're really hungry.

It's Chesterfields and Chesterfields only-

VICTORY TO SUPERIOR RACE I
Teuton Hosts at the Marne Over
whelmed by Men Possessed of
Love of Liberty.
The following passage Is froir. tin
article entitled "The New Men and the
Old World," In Intcr-Amerlcnn. The
writer, Jesus Semprnm, Is a noted
Venezuelan man of letters, the author
of mnny biographical, historical and
literary works. Ho employs the alle
gorical stylo of writing.
"Therefore, men died by tho thou
sand, from Niouport to the black
Vosges," writes Mr. Semprum. "An
advance here, another there, thousnnds
of prisoners, hundreds of cannon; but
tho channel ports continued to bo de
nied them; Amiens and Chalons and
Paris unattainable In tho distance.
The tired chargers went so far as to
drink the fnteful waters of the Marne.
"Suddenly the wind of wrath blows
against the monarch's hosts. In the
front rank fight with skillful daring
the now men, like veterans seasoned
In long campaigns. Without knowing
the whips of tho sergeants, the do
stroyers of free will, without having
lived cowered by tho yoke of minute
and Iron discipline, without calling
themselves tho favorites of tho Most
High, Pershing's men pursue the vet
eran conquerors of the world and
throw them back upon tho Moselle,
astound them with their numbers,
their strength, their simple nnd serene
valor. They went forward nt a quick
and measured pace, nnd under their
feet tho soil of Franco quivered In tho
Joy of liberation.

VETERANS ARE NOT ENVIOUS
Soldiers Who Took Part in the Civil
War Proud of the Youngsters
of Today.
Recently one of tho current maga
zines contained a picture e.illd, "His
Place Usurped." It showed the usual
village crowd of youngsters listening
to a returned soldier tell stories of his
life "over there." Kitting fit one side
of the picture, entirely deserted by
every one, wns a Civil war veteran.
His face was full of sorrow over his
desertion by bis usual audience.
"We wondered whether that was
really the way people were d"lng for
getting tho old soldiers o whether
the old soldiers were feeling us this
old man In the picture soenn ! to feel,"
snld nn Indiana man. "So w took the
picture nnd showed It to im old man
who Is a very familiar II pi re In our
streets on account of h! f ded army
uniform. lie looked at the i-ietur and
then ho chuckled :
"'Why, bless your soul I don't
feel that way,' ho told . 'I want to
listen to 'em myself,' he continued. 'I
want to know how tiny fought at
Vpres and see If It wns lilo- we did at
Antletam. And then, too,' lie smiled
more, 'It's Just this way. I've been
honored for more than r" years now,
nnd during that time one cts Just a
little hungry for a chance to do n little
honorln' himself. S now It's my
chance to honor the youm: reliefs. I'm

Said to Depend Largely on Time of
j Life at Which the Accident
I Occurnd.
I What ncttinl disability Is Involved
, In the loss of one eye? Accident In
i surnnco companies usually estimate
It at f0 per cent, but Sir Arthur Pear
'son told the Hrltlsh committee, on the
administration of soldiers' and sailors'
' pensions that this was absolutely ah
' surd, and suggested 23 per cent as a
more reasonable estimate.
It depends largely upon the time of
life at which the eye Is lost. Dy
binocular vlnlnn, soys the Lancet, we
' fue two slightly dissimilar Images
'of on object, which nre focussed upon
, the two retinas, and this enables us
' to estimate correctly the relative po
j sltlon or distance of objects. Tills
J power, however, Is not confined to
i those of us who possess two good
eyes. The man who has been blind In
' one eye from Infancy possesses It In
, almost equal perfection with the pos
! sessor of two eye s. For many other
j factors unite- to compensate for the
absence of stereoscopic vision. These
I are atmospheric and shadow effects,
parallax and, above, all. memory of
what the shape of objects really Is,
! according to Knowledge which has
! been acquired In early yenrs, largely
by the sense of touch.
On the other hand, If one who pos
sessos this faculty Is suddenly deprived
of It he will be considerably handi
capped, especially nt first. A woman
may find "be cannot pour from n tea
pot Into a nip without spilling the tea.
A hammerman may take some time
before he can bit the nail on tho
head with his former accuracy; Indeed,
whether or not he can ever attain It
ngaln Is doubtful.
WASTE COUNTRY MADE RICH
Enormous Rubber Plantation In Su
matra Developed by American
Industry In Ten Years.
Perhaps the most surprising thing
about the enormous rubber plantation
that covers nearly 100,000 acres In
Sumntra, recently described by a
writer in Commerce nnd Finance, Is
that less than ten years ago one could
hnve traveled these acres without see
ing n rubber tree. Tho land was ac
quired by an American company, and
the rubber trees followed. Today they
count ui) to something like 5,000,000,
tended by nn nrmy of about 10,000 la
borers, most of whom come from the
neighboring island of Java. The land
rises to a slight eminence overlooking
the sea of rubber trees which stretches
for miles In every direction, with here
nnd there glimpses of tho line roads
over which motor cars travel the plan
tation ou business or carry passengers
between the bungnlows of the estate
managers. Sixty-live miles of narrow
gauge railway run through this re
markable rubber forest, with every
tree raised In responso to tho twen
tieth century commercial demand for
rubber.
Newspaper Men "Struck."
Probably the first "strike" ever
called at a convention of the American
Federation of Labor, and against that
body, was called by the newswrlters
assigned to cover the sessions. During
the course of the convention one of the
delegates made criticisms of the way
In which the convention news was han
dled. The newspaper men Immediate
ly tiled out of tho hall and sent wnrd
to the convention that they had gone
on strike. While certain delegates
were branding the newswrlters as "bo!
shevlkl," others Insisted that they form
n committee and present their de
mands. The demands were formulated
and presented. The convention granted
them by acclamation, and the reporters
were given an ovation when they (lied
back to their desks. So It was settled.
He Saw Very Well.
I had employed a piano tuner for
several years who was blind, writes a
correspondent. One day he brought
another man when "lie came to tuno the
piano, asking my permission to teach
him some things about piano tuning,
I left them In the parlor by them
selves nnd when they had finished, I
was dressing to go out.
Knowing they were blind and rather
than keep them waiting, I went In to
pny tho tuner In rather scant attire.
I remarked to tho stranger, "It Is nice
for you blind people thut thero Is
wo.-f. like this for you to do."
"Oh, madam," ho replied, "I'm not
blind ; In fact, I seo very well."
I nearly died and lied froln the room.

I Honest Man
By MARY ELLIS HARTLEY
(Copyrlictit, 19P by tha Westorn Nwi
paper Union,)
"You have asked me what Is troub
ling me," spoke Alden Ross, his line
expressive face grave and earnest.
"As my closest and truest friend, you
hnve u right to know. There Is n
shadow In the background."
"I surmised some strong reason for
your generally depressed condition dur
ing the past few weeks," observed Wil
fred Lang. "You hnve been unlike
yourself, and I want to help you If It
Is In my power."
"I doubt It," replied Ross, somewhat
gloomily. "A skeleton In tho cloget Is
not a very comfortable possession, and
I am sorry to say that I have discov
ered one."
"Drive It out I" suggested Long, ve
hemently ; ""banish Itl Ignore It I"
Alden Ross shook his head siijjly. "I
wish I could, Long, hut a sense of
Justice, of duty Is Involved. Shadow
nnd skeleton, It Is with mo constant
ly. And Just as there came an angel
to the threshold."
Wilfred Lang regarded his friend
critically. "I sny, Ross," he rallied,
"have you been absorbing these un
wholesome sentiments out of some old
blood-nnd-tlumder romance?"
"No, from dread reality," answered
Ross seriously. "I will tell you the
story, briefly. About two months ago
I became acquainted with n young lady
whom I met at Noyes Lake. Sho was
there with some girl companions and n
chaperon, and those few days wore
the most delightful of my life. Wo
drifted Into n most friendly acquaint
anceship. Yon would not blame me
If you knew how charming was Miss
Ethel Wolcott; less so If you could re
alize how much I had learned to love
her. I told her that I had, and sho wns
gracious and responsive. I wns placed
In n delicate position, meeting her and
becoming engaged to her, all within
two weeks' time.
"She came of a family high up In n
social way, and of extensive wenlth.
The chaperon nt the very last recog
nized tho situation, and nt once took
Ethel under her wing.
"Rapid and most promising prog
ress," commented. Lang saucily. "Why
the gloom over such an Idenl situa
tion?" "Because I have discovered the ut
ter hopelessness of the case," replied
Ross moodily. "You know that what
little I have In the world was left to
me by an aged aunt. My father died
a pauper. When 1 returned from my
recent trip I contemplated changing
my living quarters, and started In to
throw away tho letters of several years.
I had only known that my father, from
n position of opulence, In a single day
almost became a poor man. He never
told mo why. Such documents I came
ncross among his papers threp days
after I had seen Ethel Wolcott re
vealed the terrible reason."
Lang looked grnve. He know his
friend was not a sensationalist, nnd
his haggard face and sorrowful eyes
told Lang that he was suffering.
"To you, my closest friend, can I re
veal Ibis dreadful secret," resumed
Ross. "In a word, Just before my fa
ther's strangely sudden transition from
wealth to poverty, his partner, a man
named Morse, disappeared. The firm
was Ross Sc Morse, ancJ they did a very
large exporting business. From the
documents I happened ncross, It
seemed that the firm had become In
debted for a very large amount to
Robert Wolcott, tho father of the girl
I love. At tho time of giving up busi
ness my father, a widower, with my
self removed to another part of tho
country, living secluded, and ho never
by word of mouth explained tho real
situation to me. A letter signed by
Mr. Wolcott I found, denouncing Ross
& Morse as common swindlers. In
n second letter ho demanded tho pay
ment of his claim or he would send
both my father and his partner to the
penitentiary. I nm satisfied that when
tho claim wns paid It beggared my
father. But the criminal phase I Don't
you sec, thnt the son of the man Rob
ert Wolcott denounced ns n thief can
never hopo to win his only daughter?"
It was nfter long thought and con
sultation with his friend thnt Ross
decided upon the courso ho would fol
low. Two days later ho visited tho
city whero Ethel lived. Clearly, truth
fully, lie told her Ills story. A strango
light cnnio Into her eyes ns tho men
tion of his father's ml&fortuno seemed
to recall something she had heard her
father allude to In the past.
"I must see papa," sho breathed ex
citedly, "Do not go away until I re
turn." She re-entered tho room a few min
utes later with her father, who stepped
forward briskly and grasped with
warmth tho hand of tho bewildered
Ross.
"Mr. Ross," ho said, "my daughter
has told me of you. It Is a great re
lief to my mind to meet the son of n
man whom I greatly misjudged. It
was to save his embezzling partner
from prosecution that your father beg
gared himself. I did not learn this
until after his death; sou. lit for him,
could not find him, and placed tho
money he paid me In an Investment
which has made large gains, and which
I planned should revert to his heirs.

upon his daughter, "are you sure of
your mind?"
"Oh, pnpal" breathed Ethel, "Alden
