he taxed 20 per cent.
Under old laws a husband
could take what his wife earn
ed; even now in England ' he
controls the children that she
produces.
For the State to rebuke her
industry by taxing her earn-
ings 20 per cent would be
something new.
Bolshevism decides that lit-
tle girls must not play with
dolls, because that encourages
the bourgeois or capitalist idea
of family life, developing
taste for motherhood and
household duties.
mgs invented ear-rings or
trousers first. Man’s passion
for adornment, he thought,
probably produced earrings
before clothes.
He is right about that .Dar

living in a climate often bitter,
that would not think of coming
from their beta to let a
stranger see them until they
had painted their faces and
arranged their hair. But they

stitch of clothing.

Bolshevism interprets the
^little girl with a doll correctly,
hut will no more overcome the
love of dolls than it could over-
come the instinct of self pre-
servation. Maternity is plant-
ed in the hearts of little girls
by a Power far above Bolshev-
ism, just as ambition of anoth-
er kind is planted in the hearts
of little boys. And that ambi-
tion is what makes Communism
an impossibility.
The United States pays more
toward the expenses of the
League of Nations than any
other country except Britain—
although we are not in the
League. That’s usual. We
paid more than any other na-
tion for that big war—about
fifty line million dollars a day
while we were in it, and we
lent tile allied 'fightera ten
thousand millions of dollars—
yet it wasn’t our war.

Dr. M. S. Taylor wire* from
Chicago, “Contribute your
opinion on legalizing compan-
ionate marriage.
That question was settled
when Eve appeared from
Adam's rib.
Woman is naturally mono-
gamous, is determined to make
man so, will do it eventually,
and marriage is the school of
monogamy. -
A companionate marriage
expresses doubt, proves lack of
the confidence on which mar-
- riage should, be based, - and!
while it is perfectly legal now,
diyorce being legal, it is a
poor, cold-blooded sort of raar-
- riage.
Fortunately, the average
young couple have no doubts
whatever, and only regret the
marriage cannot last a million
years, just to prove it.
Sometimes they are disap-
pointed. nearly always through
the husband’s fault. But
meanwhile the children have
been born, blessed with the in-
fluence of trust and affection.
Our troubles will come in
America when our natural re-
sources are exhausted—coal,
oil, iron, forests, etc.
At present we are busy
using, wasting. Some day we
may be busy regretting. Emil
Kekich, sent to Sweden by
Herbert Hoover’s Department
of Commerce, reports that
Sweden has solved her forest
problem.
The annual growth of tim-
ber in Sweden exceeds the
annual cutting by 100,000,008
cubic feet, or 1,200.000,000
lineal feet.

The important thing in mar-

William Fox has bought 307
more theatres, seating 360,000
for $100,000,000.
Twenty-five years ago Fox
got into the theatre business
because his employer refused
to raise his $17 a week salary.
Fox had just married. The
. employer said, "Not only
can’t raise your $17 a week,
. but you are getting $2 too
much. I am going to pay what
you are worth, $15."
Fox had saved $580 on *17

moving picture theatre, that
could take in 87.30 when pack-
ed. Now h6 has 356 theatres.
