Magnificent. But Not Sensible.
The cite of the man who went to jail rather
than pay alimony to hit wife will win tome ad
miration for hit determination, but hia judg
ment it not to be commended. In the end he
will find the courts of the country are not
lightly to be defied, and eventually hit case will
have to be heard and determined on its merits.
At the same time the incident may serve to
arouse a little interest in the general subject of
alimony. Under no circumstances should the
husband be permitted to avoid any of his obliga
tions to his spouse; that would be unjust and
unfair, but with the newer relations established
by amendments to the fundamental and statutory
law, perhaps the ends of justice will be served
if very close investigation were applied to all
divorce suits, especially those in which a con
siderable amount of alimony and a liberal at
torney fee is asked by the relator.
As a rule the court informs itself with suf
ficient accuracy as to the financial situation of
the husband and issues a temporary order ac
cordingly. No fault can be found with this pro
cedure ordinarily, for the offended and frequently
abused wife is entitled to the relief granted. Now
and then cases turn up in which examination of
the motives might disclose a state of affairs that
would justify the court in denying any relief be
yond that oPdivorce.. So long as marriage par
takes of the nature of a civil contract, dissoluble
by judicial procedure, it should be competent to
inquire into all the conditions surrounding that
contract, and to discover if all had been faith
fully observed by both, parties. I '.'.
Omaha has witnessed some cases in which
the external evidence at least was such as in
clined folks to think the contract was made in
the start to secure a nice award of alimony at
the end. Only the courts can stop such pro
ceedings, and they should be ready to act prompt
ly when such a case appears. A man is entitled
to some protection as well as the woman in this
regard. ' ' ' f -
Japan, China and, the Conference.
Prediction that Japan will not agree to the
agenda prepared for the coming conference on
armament and 'other questions at Washington
rests on the rather slender foundation that the
Shantung question was settled at Versailles. It
was not; China specifically declined to sign the
treaty because of the provision awarding the
Shantung" peninsula to Japan, and the United
States, which at the time objected to the award,
has not ratified the treaty. This, it would seem,
leaves the Shantung award in ruach the same
position as the Yap mandate. As one of the
victors in the war, the United States has some
thing to say about the terms on which the
sequestrated German territory is to be disposed
of, and it has not consented to the terms that
give the disputed regions to Japan.
China has declined to conclude an arrange
ment with the Japanese in connection with
Shantung prior to the meeting at Washington.
It is wise on the part of China to thus support
the action taken at Versailles. Japan offered
terms for settlement that left its nationals in a
preferred position .in Shantung, particularly in
Kiao-Chau, involved the cession of Dairen and
other ports, and laid on China the burden of
maintaining railroad terminals and other public
works for joint use with the Japanese.' Such a
'bargain is hardly more supportable than the di
rect occupancy of the territory, while negotia
tions would lend respectability to the proceed
ings under which the "twenty-one demands"
were enforced In May, 1915.
A sentiment in favor of requiring Japan to
"come clean," and for the ending of the Japanese
alliance with England, in order that peace on the
Pacific may be assured, is springing up. The
mikado's government notes the setting of the
current, and very' likely will be found at Wash
ington earnestly striving to save something of.
the rich reward grabbed at so little expense of
capital or energy as' hs share of the war. It is
not probable the future of China will be settled
there, but it now appears the Chinese will learn
they can have justice. ;
Shirt-Sleeves in the Lunch Room." "
A court in Oklahoma has set up another
landmark for democracy." By an order just re
corded, it is permitted that a man without a coat
may go into one of Fred Harvey's justly cele
brated eating houses, and insist on being served.
Thus the glorious freedom and traditions of the
west are preserved. Some of us can remember
the time when Fred Harvey was glad to get cus
tomers into his eating houses, regardless of
garb. Cow punchers in chaps sat alongside rail
road men in overalls, and these were flanked by
travelers and tourists, indurated old-timers or
nervous tenderfeet, and all enjoyed meals that
made the system famous.. A little later Rome
Miller had a similar string of "twenty minutes
for refreshments" places along the Elkhorn, run
ning up into the Black Hills, and all. sorts and
conditions of men sat down together around his
board and loosened up to the tune of four-bits
wbes the meal was over, and nobody ever
dreamed of noting what the other fellow was

Whom Would You Choose?
The heavy responsibilities that burden Pres!
drnt Harding can scarcely be understood by the
average citisen whose chief connection with the
duties of government arises only on election day
and who devotes the rest of his time to support
ing hit family and paying taxes. The single task
of arranging and carrying through the Interna
tionsl conference on disarmament, it is not too
much to say, is greater than most men face in
a lifetime.
This is brought home by a questionnaire trnt
out by three organizations asking a straw vote
as to who should represent the American people
in the Washington gathering. One of those re
questing expression of an opinion is the Woman's
Committee on World Disarmament, and the
others style themselves the Foreign Poliry as
sociation and the W orld Friendship bureau. 1 he
inquiry as to who is considered best fitted to at
tend this meeting is followed by dotted lines on
which 10 names are to be written. Almost any
one can select one or two suitable delegates, but
the imagination is liable to be severely taxed to
think of many more. .
But once this is accomplished, the second
question forces itself upon the attention: "What
qualifications should be reouired in every Amer
ican member selected?" One may glance back
over the tentative list and be unable to discover
any common quality except perhaps that each
has one's confidence. The third inquiry is:
"What points of view and interests, besides the
political and financial, should be included aud
represented in the membership of the America t
group?" Thus is brought up the problem of thr
advisability of occupational representation, with
labor, agriculture, business and women as pos
sible candidates who should be given a voice.
, It is well to have this matter forced on the at
tention of the public, and there can not be too
much discussion and thought given to the dis
armament conference. But not many are sure
enough of their own judgment to desire to have
the decision placed in their hands. Here ap
pears to be one case where the ballot could not
be relied upon. If there had been more lively
interest in this momentous event, perhaps a
referendum might have had its possibilities for
good. . But the people have left the responsi
bility entirely with the president, thereby at least
paying him the compliment of trust in his ability
to meet the emergency. .
De ValeraY Awkward Dilemma.
Ineptness in address has brought the Irish
situation to a virtual impasse. Eamonn de Va
lera's ultimatum to Lloyd George has ended the
confabs, the invitation to a conference at In
verness having been withdrawn. What the next
step will be only the evjtnt can tell. De Valera
may, but in all probability ' will not, withdraw
the note that put an end to negotiations at a
time when all seemed to be progressing favorably.
Short of this the way to a resumption of dis
cussions between the British cabinet and the
Irish representatives does not appear. .... ,
', 'Terms offered, to Ireland included all Sinn
.Fein'' demands with the exception of absolute
separation; this England will not concede, and
in this stand the other nations of the empire
agree. A dominion status, such as is enjoyed
by Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South
Africa, with complete autonomy over ' finances,
and with the undiminished advantage of mem
bership in a great imperial assembly of nations
would give Ireland . a- splendid position and
ample, opportunity for the working out of na
tional plans and aspirations, revival of the Celtic
language and all. And this, Lloyd George as
sured -De Valera, is as far as the British gov
ernment will go. De Valera's answer to this is:.
Our nation has formally declared its inde
pendence and recognizes itself as a sovereign
state. ; It is only as representative of that state
and as its chosen guardians that we have au
. thority or powers to act on behalf of our
people. . " f
To deal with representatives of Dail Eireann
on this basis is to accept as established the as
sertion of independence, Lloyd George declined
to do this. If De Valera and his associates in
sist, then negotiations for which .the truce was
established are at an end, and a condition pre
vails which can not continue. Either the, de
struction of war must be resumed or the people
must rid themselves of present leadership and
get behind men who can bring peace to Ireland.
. Omaha's Country Cousins. "
It is to be regretted that the Douglas county
fair is not better advertised in Omaha. The ex
hibits which were shown in Waterloo this week
compare favorably with those of any other part
of the state.. In fact, first honors at the state
fair were won by the display of Douglas, county.
What is sometimes forgotten is that the city
of Omaha does not include-all the activity and
wealth of Douglas county. Just beyond our
borders orchards and fields as fine as .could be
desired are to be found. Fine hogs, fat cattle
and splendid dairy herds abound.
Out there in the farm homes the boys and
girls are being brought up amid a life far dif
ferent from that now known by the younger
generation of the city. - There are chores to be
done,; small duties that for many cjty boys do
not exist; instead of the movies there are only
books, games and the pleasures of intimate con
tact with nature, and in many ways it seems they
are. learning to be more useful than are their
city cousins. The girls gather in their com
munity sewing clubs, and with the boys com
pete in pig and calf clubs. Indeed, it appears
that life in the country has been vastly improved
from" the unbroken drudgery that drove so many
to the cities in former years, while city life may
possibly have slipped back. . ' "
" W'hen next year's county fair rolls around it
is to be hoped that the invitation to attend will
be more widely distributed, and that Omaha
may be more largely represented.
"Jim" Riley's famous weather, "when the frost
is on the punkin' and the fodder's in the shock,"
is almost here, and welcome, too.
President Harding, it may be remarked, has
made a good start, but he appears frequently
in a week end.

Married Women in Industry
Women prominent in professional life and
philanthropic work dissent emphatically from the
theory of Mrs. bamuel Gompers that when worn
en whose husbands make a good living seek
business positions they not only take bread and
butter from someone who needs it," but also
detract from the interests of their homes and
children. In the opinion of one of Mrs. Gomp
ers feminine critics, a wife s work outside the
home tends to improve it. "The children gain in
self-reliance and independence, and the reahza
tion of their mother's activity deepens their char
cater."
Certainly the subject under discussion is not
a new one. Is there indeed much more to be said
than has already been said, on one side or the
other, of what has come to be an academic ques
tion? Married women do engage in business life,
and the home is still there apparently as it was
before. If it is impaired in any particular the
deleterious influence must be traced to other con
ditions that those caused by the mother's activity
as a wage-earner. The discussion will doubtless
continue, but can it possibly alter the case? If
it is assumed as true that the home suffers from
a wife's participation in industry, will , the fact
ever actuate remedial legislation? And if Icgisla
tion is sought, of what nature to become effec
tive?, : '
As for taking bread and butter from someone
who needs it, all the laws and preachments can
not prevent this condition of things. Given the
desire to work tor a salary and the capacity, mar
ried women will seek positions regardless of
considerations of abstract social justice. New

It Doesn't Pay. v
Franklin D'Olier of Philadelphia, former com
mander of the American Legion, speaking at
Chateau-Thierry to dedicate the new Roosevelt
bridge over the Marne, said: "Let us dedicate
ourselves to the task of impressing on our public
leaders the lesson that we know; that war does
not pay.
Such a sentiment, 'coming from. men. who
fought, means more than if it carhe from those
who never knew the full significance of the de
struction of men by their fellowmen. Mr. D'Olier
was not speaking for he purpose of a pleasant
interchange of ameniti 3 he voiced the feeling
of those who fell as well as those who are spared.
The true soldier does not need a reminder that
the glory of war is only in the sublimity of de

war should be abolished as a heinous crime ot

TEACHER'S COMPLEX TASK.
It ia well for tha teachers aa thy
begin their year'a work to under
stand what llivy ara up aaalnst.
Th distribution ot arhcMil chil
dren into group graded ftcrordlne
to mental ability a determined by
Terman in accepted aa approximate
ly correct. Klxty per lent have
avraa Inteltlavnce.
Tha member ot thla troup ran
move along through si'hnol Ufa
linking tha grade according to
cheduls, paulng th examinations
and meeting tha other tcNta aa they
and laid down. Above then la an
other group rnmprlHinz about IS
per tent who ar brlahter than th
average, but nevertheless g't along
fairly well In school They learn
rather too quickly and raally and
therefor have enerey which om
us wlclv but whlih sets others
into trouble.
Above this mnr than average
bright group ia a group of auperlnra
embracing somewhere about S per
cvnt or th whole. They ar ao
much out of th ordinary that they
constitute a problem for th teach
ers. A few of them are great trouble
maaara.
Now, going back to th average
group and rating downward, we
nrst encounter a group of dullards
mining up aoout is per cent or tna
whole. Many of thes ar dull be
cause of physical defect. Tha mem
ber of thla group ar difficult. By
working hard with them an earnest
teacher can keep a fair proportion
up to grade. Below thes are the
reebl minded, making up about 7
per cent. Most of thes will dron
out or school whenever they can and
will quit for good Just as soon as
in law allows.
Thin classification wna mnd be
fore the world war. Thla grouping
or soiaiera and other person ob
served by draft examiners durlns
the world war by the use of mental
testa proved the approximate cor
rectness of tha Terman grouping.
But hold! The teacher's troubles
ar not at an encT: Besides physi
cal conditions and mental ability It
Is necessary to take personality and
behavior into consideration. Aa Dr.
rearc Bally says, the rent purpose
of education Is the upbuilding of
character, the transmutation year
by year of the untamed savage pro
pensities with which a child romes
Into the world into co-operated and
directed forces.
Without this transmutation of the
Infantile primitive Impulses Into an
adult co-ordinated self-control th
individual remains against or out
side the social order.
Some part of the children In
schools are insane, some have de
mentia precox which Is apparent at
the time, and somo have mental
types which will be classed as de
mentia precox as soon as the Indi
vidual becomes engaged In the con
tacts of adult life. Some are anti
social. Some are asocial. The prob
lems of personality and behavior
are Just as real as those of physical
deficiency and mental capacity. Un
fortunately there are no statistics or
groups along this line available for
teachers.

old and am Ave feet three inches tall

want to reduce, but want to follow
a diet that I know Is absolutely rac
ommended by a doctor."
REPLY.
There are ' many fruit cures and
the orange cure as one of them is
given by Thompson as follows: The
cure lasts six weeks. Begin by eat
ing an orange before breakfast and
another before retiring. In three
or four days the breakfast consists
of several oranges, a small quantity
or bread and butter and a little
coffee.' During - the forenoon eat
several oranges. For dinner some
meat and potato, green vegetables
and oranges no bread, pastry or
dessert During the afternoon
oranges. At supper a little sago in
milk, and oranges. Thompson says
this diet is adapted to the treatment
of chronic constipation, the cure of
some cases of obesity and some of
gout. .

Does a Vacuum Bottle Keep Things
Hot or Cold?
Since time immemorial men have
been seeking a device which would
retain the heat or the coolness in
liquids, but, despite several inven
tions which approximated the de
sired result, it was only of late years
that the use of the vacuum bottle
has succeeded in approaching the
goal. Even savages, however, havo
been familiar with the principles of
the "water monkey" a porous bot
tle which cools by evaporation due
to a draft and the fact that articles
wrapped in a blanket or some other
heavy covering .will retain their low
or. high temperatures considerably
longer than if exposed to the air.
It is this latter device that really
explains the operation of the vac
uum bottle, a container made in two
sections with a space between from
which the air has been extracted. If
the substance which we desire to
keep cold were to be placed in the
interior bottle or container and this
was then wrapped in a newspaper,, a
blanket or some other poor con
ductor of heat, the substance would
remain at a low temperature for sev
eral hours ' because the heat , would
find difficulty in penetrating the cov
ering. . Precisely the same thing oc
curs when we wrap this bottle in or
surround it with a vacuum, only the
result is achieved ' for . a greater
length of time, owing to the fact
that heat cannot jump 'over' or pass
through a vacuum needing air to
assist it in making its journey. If
the vacuum were absolutely perfect,
that is if there were no air whatever
in the space, substances placed in the
interior container would remain hot
or cold for an indefinite period.
However, a perfect vacuum is ex
tremely difficult to attain, which ac
counts for the gradual change . in
temperature of the contents ot- a
"vacuum bottle." : '

Common Sense
By J. J. MUNDY.
Take the Wife Along. ....
v Wives need play spells as- well as
husbands.
The golf fiend' who spends so
much time on the course out of bus
iness hours that he neglects his fam
ily excuses himself on the plea that
lie needs recreation, relaxation and
fresh air.
But what about. the wife and the
little children growing up? v ,
Don't they need fresh air? -
Would your wife be so ncivws, so
despondent, so restless as she is at
times if yoU provided a ,way for her
to get fresh, pure, out-of-door air,
ar you can get it? .'
"All men are sclfish,"."a married
woman was heard to remark, "when
it comes to their own personal en
joyment." ' , ' , - .
But you need not run to cover on
this statement. -
. "Of course," they may not intend to
be selfish," she went on, "but they
think that a woman can rest, sleep
or get out afternoons if she wishes.
But this is not what we want; we
want the companionship of our own
husbands td take us about.
To a great degree this woman is
right.
The golf, tennis, rowing or hik
ing enthusiast is likely to be so car
lied away with his sport that he for
gets that his wife is entitled to a
play spell, free from family cares.
