Marriage is itherGreatest Gamble on Earth,

and Women Sharpers at it, Cries Bach- elor_— Nonsense! Replies Dorothy D1x_--.What aWoman is Sticks Out All Over Her, and if Man Loses it is Result of His Own Poor Judgment

Ola a mfn he'll before marriage what sort of a wife he is getting, or is always a buylns-a-nls-lri-a-poke business?

A bachelor friend of mine insists that marriage is the greatest. gamble on earth, and that when most men take a. chance in the bis lottery Lady Luck simply kisses thorn good-by.

Says he:

“Let young men bet with strangers at horse races; let them play poker with card shanks on ocean liners; let them buy sweep- stake tickets, and they are playing virtually a sure thing compared with the risks that the)’ are taking in marriage. Marriage is a woman's game and men had better leave it alone.

"Look at, the nefarious way in which women deceive men as to their characters and

Iflpclitions and even their looks in order to get some one to support them All men have in their minds a picture of the kind of girl they

Ior life! would like to marry. The girl finds out what their ideals are and then lhe begins with disbolic cunning to understudy the part.

“Say the man likes ’em slender, and she starvcs hcrsclf down to a living skeleton. He likes sweet, amiable women, and oiltwr wouldn't melt in her mouth. Or maybe he has a. fancy for highbrows, and she bones

up on book reviews and discourses 0n current litcraxin-c. And so the D001‘ Slmp is taken in, and there is romance and wedding bells and he thlnbs he is going to live happily ever after.

Ylut two years later what a. change! The girl has now reverted to her natural character. which is not the one that sp sold‘ herself on. The trusting male who admired a slim girlish figure now finds that he is united to l. tub of fat. The man "Jho adored the coding-dove type dis- covers flint he has tied. himself tu a hen who pccks the life out o! him. And the mun who married for an intellectual companion is bored to death by l. wife who never reads anything but the society notes. so what?

“I tell you that in any other business except marriage the law would protect the person so swindied. It would be called misrepresentation and tebtlnfi goods under false pretenses and the deal would be called off."

A of these charges are admitted as a. general proposition though not.

true in every case. Many a. man does marry a golden-haired blonde who turns into a brunette when the dye has worn off, and many a soft. nufiy little kitten keeps her claws sheathed until after she has got her man. But before the law does something awful with burning oil in it to a woman who has merely used the arts with which Nature endowed her in order to secure a mate, does it not expect the man to use some ordinary intelligence and prudence in investigating the kind of proposition that has been put up to him before he bet-s his pile on a wedding ring? . ‘Paine (looks, for instance. No man is such a dullard as not to know that if he marries a girl for her beauty alone he is bound to lose out in the long run. m spite of dicts and counting calories the willowy figure may turn plump, and the plump one become a. string bean. Time in- evitebly takes away that schoolgirl complexion and GtChCs lines in the fairest face. The irmu,‘ who marries a. girl st 20 solely for her looks knows what he will have when she is 50, and he is a poor sport when he cries out that he has been stung.

As forthe balance, any man who has gumption enough to carry on any ordinary business, who has foresight enough to guess what they are going to be wearing next Spring in hats and gowns, or which way tho market is going to jump, can make a. mighty shrewd estimate of the sort of wife that any girl will make. For by the time a. girl is old enough to marry her character and disposition are set, and while they may develop and get more so, they will never change.

What she is, is there for any man to see who will take the trouble to give her the appraising once-over. Nor has any girl the ability to con- ceal her faults and blemishes from even a male moron. They stick out like a sore thumb.

Every hlgh-rtempered girl has the fact written in every line of her face. Btmm signals are in her eyes. Warnings in the frctful lines know her long without seeing the thin crust of her self-control break and. her personal devil leap forth.

The newer and the petty tyrant are born, not evolved by marriage. nnd any man must be stupid indeed who does not realize that if he mar- ries a girl who can never let bygones be bygones and who will never play anybody e180’! 38mm he will spend the balance of his days in saying “yes mtam" and listening for the millionth time to a recitation of his short- co .

will: selfish. girl who takes the best, of everything for herself. The extravagant girl who dresses beyond her means. Tho lazy girl who will not work. The slovoin who is never tidy or neat. The cold-hearted girl who loves no one but herself. The pleasure-mad girl who can never ‘get enough of wild parties. Do not all of these tip a man off as to the kind of wives they will minke? _

The trouble with men is that they do not make any intelligent effort. to find out anything about l. girl's character and disposition before mar- gjggg. I! they put in hllf as much time looking over the women they mg-ry u they do in looking over a. new car they are buying, there wwldnt be lo many disgruntled husbands in the world. For marriage isn't a gamble. You win out or lose out according to the Judgment you my; flgplgyQd m picking out your mate. DOROTl-I1'__ g

To Make Highway Of Historic Road

KINGSTON. Ont. July 28~(CP) _-Believed to be the oldat highroad in Ontario. the old Bath Road. from Kingston to ‘Barth. is to be taken over as a provincial highway and along with its continuation to Adolphus- town and Carrying Place, is to be rebuilt. -

The bath road came into being in 1784 when the United Empire Imynltsts settled in the Kingston district and acquired farms on the shone between Kingston and Bath. This shore route passes along one of the finest scenic sections in the province.

At first. the road was but a trail and consf-ituwd the first rout!’ to West. following the Bay of Quintc and Lake Ontario shores. The Your road from Kingston to Toronto and the west was developed later as settlements sprang up along a more northem and shorter route

Until 25 years ago there were two tollgnitms on the Kingston-Bath mad. mntmlled by the Kingston and Bath Road Company, which had lnvcstxad much money in. capital and maintenance. Finally. however. as the call for good roads became _ louder in Frontenac (Jmlnty. the! county and city councils gradually acquired the surrounding highwaivs and fined them of the tcllgatc system.

George R. Pond and Caesars Sa- bclli were the first of the was nd- I venturers to make the trip. After ' them came Paul Codos and Maurice Rxlssi. The last, to make the flight were the Adamovicz brothers. Jo- seph and Benjamin.

The year i927 was the worst in trans-Atlantic flying history. 'I‘hat year five planes were lost at sea with a death total of 12-10 men and two women. The famed French flyers Francois Coll and Charles Nungessr-r perished in that; year.
