The increase in wages through
out the country is much greater in
dry states than in wet. Govern

1 33 per cent, in near-prohibition
states 77 per cent, in partial li
cense states 61 per cent.

BENEFITING BY WAR
HOW LEADING RUSSIAN WOMAN
VIEWS CONFLICT.
For One Thing, She Says, “It Has
Taught Us to See a World Larger
Than the World of the Fam
• ily Doorstep."
“You will learn In America that this
great war will have its benefits,” the
doctor said. "It is teaching us that j
we are strong; it has issued a call
commanding us to organize and act '
not only in war, but in peace; it has 1
taught us to see a world larger than
I he world of the family doorstep. It
lias shown us that we can do all the j
necessary old duties and have energy j
and desire to accept new labors. This
morning at breakfast my children ]
spoke of Russian victory. I said to
them that the great Russian victories
were in the new thought and visions
of the people.”
The doctor did not speak of any
class or sex; she made no distinction
between different kinds of Russian
hearts and Russian heads. There are !
almost twice ns many men, women
and children in tlie empire ns in our
states, and the doctor seemed to In-!
elude them all. The doctor was near- j
ing middle age, but was still pretty, j
even in a severe woolen suit.
The reason for her disregard of sex
is not difficult to define. Russia is the j
foremost undeveloped country in the
world. Like its own tint, gray expanse
of physical surface, beneath which tin-,
touched treasures of resource lie, a
crust of mystery covers the human
resource of the Russian millions. The
charm of Russia is not in its romantic,
hazardous, youthful past, but in the
suppressed seething of human force
beneath the crust. What will hurst ■
up through it? What will this war,!
cracking open the surface, rending the j
cover, let loose?
When I went to Russia to put my !
ear where I could hear beneath the
crust the new bubble and heaving of -
potentiality, writes Richard Washburn
Child in the Century, the volcanic
seething which the war has tilled with
new tremors, did not think of the
Russian woman at all.
It is the women, I think, who today
possess it vision calmer than that of
the Russian men. From a woman I
received the coolest and the wisest
analysis of the politics of the empire
and the most sensible forecast of the
struggle between the people and the
bureaucracy. Through it woman I ob
tained the greatest fund of informa
tion about the future commercial de
velopment of the land and about the
opportunities for- American business.
A woman drew for me the clearest
picture of what was needed to organize
for military victories. It was the wom
an of Russia who, without distortion
of self-interest, of prejudice or fear,
could see what the new human growth
required of compromise with the pres
ent form of the government and what
of a fight to a finish. And that is the
most delicate question which Russia
must determine in the decade which
follows the final peace. |
Eloise did not dross to 4iit lior type.
She suited her type to her dress, and
thereby kept her friends guessing as
to her moods and manners.
In the days of her small girlhood
the Shelhys hud lived next door to
her at Yorktown, and had later moved
to Norfolk. Now Eioise was making
her first visit in many years to Miriam
Shelby, and instead of being enter
tained. owing to the piquancy of her
ways and dress, she was herself the
entertainer.
Big. breezy, mnn-of-the-world Tim
Darcy invited her to be his guest at
the races within half an hour after he
met her. Miriam's brother, Dick, told
her about hearing Darcy remark to
Edgar Ilerdon that he was going to
have “some looker” at the races to
morrow. “Drop around to the box and
meet her.”
In answer to the Invitation Ilerdon
“dropped around” during a lull in the
activities, and found big Tim, for once
in his life, ill at ease and obviously
anxious. The girl \rtio was his guest
was “some looker,” round-eyed, ador
able, timidly endeavoring not to ap
pear shocked at the drendful spec
tacle of horse races and betting. Dick
Shelby, who hnd made it a point to
be there, realized that she was having
the time of her life in playing the
unsophisticated, sheltered damsel that
she appeared today.
Ilerdon. who, although a close friend
oi Darcy, was, strangely enough, a man
of the old-school type, and his heart
warmed to the quaint maiden he had
just met. She refreshed his soul, and
he promptly begged her to attend a
studio tea that he was giving on Sat
urday to a group of dignified friends
of his mother and his stately married
sister.
On Sn turday the older guests assem
bled early, and to them Herdon boast
ed of his find, a dainty, fragile blos
som of a girl, absolutely foreign to the
usual type of society butterfly, and all
innocence and unworldliness.
When she entered everyone gasped, 1
for a golden, glittering siren glided in, ;
strikingly arrayed in next season’s
style. Her dress was of shimmering
golden silk, smartly short. Around the
ankles of her silken hose were em
broidered tiny green serpents, and her
left wrist was inclosed by a bracelet
wrought in the semblance of a ser
pent. Her hat was the last word in
Paris style, and accentuated the dark
ness of her alluring eyes.
The bored, indifferent male members
of the party nearly annihilated each
other In the effort to devote them
selves to her, In spite of the frigid
manner of the ladies present. / Dick
Shelby kept In the background and
made no effort to talk to her. But
when she arose to go, he, with quiet
assurance, presented himself as her
escort. For a moment she hesitated,
and then, bowing accepted his arm.
“Now look here, Eloise! You are a
stunner, and you know it, and you've
got everyone up In the air about you,
but there is no sense in making people
think you a regular Lorelei, and
that's the Impression you gave them '
today. A joke is all right, but I’m
not going to have that kind of a no
tion spread about you. If you’re do
ing It for excitement, let me provide
you with some of the real kind for to
morrow.”
“All right, Dick! What time shall
it be, and what shall we do?”
“Good !” was the response ,so fervent
that it startled her. “Ten, sharp, in
'he morning. As to what—that Is the
• xcitement. You are not to know
until the time comes."
Promptly at ten Dick swung his run
about around to the veranda, and was
pleased to find Eloise already there,
trim, quiet and more entrancing than
ever, in a simple tailored suit that
made her look like a seventeen-year
old schoolgirl.
uiCK s satisfied gaze enveloped her
like a caress. Eloise felt herself yield
ing to the Insistence of It. As the car
sped away, and along a cool country
road, she tried to recover her poise
by monopolizing the conversation.
Suddenly he stopped the car. They
were near the entrance to a lane that
led to a country church.
“I'm glad you are fittingly dressed
for the trip, Eloise."
“The trip?' she questioned, puzzled.
“Our wedding trip,” he explained.
“Our what!” Her eloquence failed
her.
“t\ e’ro going to he married, you
know. I’ve arranged everything. The
minister is up there at the church
now, and after he’s said the words
we'll jaunt ulong to our cottage at the
Dells.”
“Pick Shelby, you despicable crea
ture!" Her wrath blazed white. “So
this is your boasted excitement! A
cheap kind, I cull It. I’ll never marry
you, and I want you to take me back,
instantly!" Her anger beat against
him ns fruitlessly as wind against a
rock.
Eloise jumped from the car. “I’ll
walk back,” she announced, with scorn
supreme, as she noticed him follow
her.
Just then a placid cow ambled slow
ly down tile lane and into the road be
side tier.
“Oh, Pick, Pick!” she screamed,
and tiling herself into his arms. "Pick
don’t let it hurt me.”
When a man holds tight in his em
brace the girl whom he adores words
are unnecessary it there be a respon
sive chord in her heart.

The Last Straw.
A moving picture eomedian said at
a supper party in New York : “I didn t
always have as easy work as 1 have
now. I remember a season when I
was prompter in tin English provin
cial theater for fifteen shillings a
week. In ;>Mition to keeping the act
ors to their lines I had to make all
the outside noises 1 thundered. 1
galloped like a horse, I sang like a
woman, I marched like an army, I
, howled like a drink-maddened mob
and I screeched like a locomotive, all
for fifteen shillings a week, I remem
ber one night when it seemed that
the last straw had heen heaped on
me. I was letting off female shrieks
of terror and thundering with one
hand and hailing w ith the other, while
my right leg was working the moan
of tile wind and the left was imitat
ing the crash of failing trees, when
the leading man stuck ids head round
at me from the stage. lit* was sup
posed to he pursued by dogs, and lie
hissed: ‘Bark, you chump, bark!
Why don’t you bark, you lazy
shirker!’ ”
