wane ot A dpa Newspaper Be prime Asse. an, Nive! Luck to Them B' ESSINGS on the young couple, but the thought will rise that the young Jaw clerk who is going to marry he world’s richest girl” has the odds on hap piness st him. Perhaps, as stated, he ‘equal social standing,” but social standing is about the weakest stone in the foundation of marital concord. It usually crumbles because of its own weight and certainly palls when the delights and duties of parentage come, The human animal has certainly not yet arrived, psychologically at any rate, at that perfection of sex equality wher the odds are even on marital happine when the wife is “the world’s richest girl” and the husband is stocked up with little save social standing. The $$$ become boss, and they are a mighty ugly boss. The most dangerous and deadliest rival of Cupid is Mammon. Miss Rockefeller explains, “We're going to live on David's salary as a law clerk (some $35 per week) and we've even got our little apartment selected.” Bless her heart, she’s going to help out Cupid a bit by adding more romance to the matter, and you must agree that the life of two grown-ups on $35 per week in an apart- ment, little or big, is ammed with romance. It is a plan that may work suc- cessfully—when there is a fat bank ac- count to windward. s SITIVELY, there's no understanding of woman. The case of Mrs. John Wil- Jiamson, at Sacramento, for ifustration. She gets a divorce because her John regis- tered at a hotel and, under a_ fictitious name, wrote notes asking for dates with her. - Some women would have been outright insulted by such notes. Others would have been flattered by the evidence that they were so good looking as to promote such desperate endeavor at closer acquaintance. And Mrs, Williamson gets mad enough to take the broom to the household gods. ‘The case doesn’t clear up understanding of woman, not even when the woman is a fellow’s own wife. ...So far as part understanding of woman discloses, it is fine policy to occasionally tell wife how you worship her, even when she has become plain and wrinkled thru many years of wedded fife, and there are women who would be just tickled ‘most to death to discover that husband was still so gay and enraptured as to want to flirt at long range. What You Know NE THOUSAND freshmen at the Pennsylvania State college this year took a psychological test to determine their general knowledge. They were re- quired to answer 230 questions in 40 minutes. Results were a little surprising in view of results college girls have been making in scholarship competition with men. The men students in this test made an average score of 83.9 and women stu- dents 77.7. Many men will seize this bit of infor- mation as something that will give them a good laugh. Let them—the laugh lately has been so much on the side of the other Sex. Q What was the population of | The Seattle Star |: ? ?

News comes from Spain that he may be extradited for ‘passing worthless checks. To appreciate the value of money you must work for it. What Interests IFE offer stranger coincidences than fiction. A Cleveland judge, placing a wreath on Washington's tomb at Mt. Vernon on Washington's birthday, turns around to see his wife drop to the ground, dead. Heart failure, said the doctor. Thus the judge, paying homage to a dead man in the name of Ohio Masonry, remains to mourn his own dead. You read this and are interested. But it is not death that is interesting. It is how you die and where, Floyd Collins was an example. Air Line HERE is agitation now for an airship line from San Francisco via Hono- lulu and Guam to Manila. The distance says Admiral W. W. Fullam of the Ame ican Aeronautical association, can be cov- ered in five or six ys with e by the Los Angeles, All that’s needed, says Fullam, is a mooring mast at each of these points and a “strong pull by business men to induce the navy department, the government and congress to erect the masts.’ Business men with “pull” can get lots of things. Here's one case where you can feel like pulling with them. Our Food MERICANS literally eat up their in- come. Ten years ago one-fifth of one’s earnings was deemed sufficient for food. Today the figure has risen to 2 per cent—more than one-fourth. Last year, says Dr. Paul H. N head of the Retail Research association, our total estimated income was $68,000,- 000,000. Almost half went to retail stores. More than $18,000,000,000 went for food tobacco and soft drinks.
