An do you suppose That we'd be Glad to give it to you If we could? I'll say we would I wonder If you've been reading About the new CLEVELAND TOURING CAR And the Seven hundred dollar Payment on a CHANDLER Woman Who Wants It Should Not Marry CHICAGO, Dec. 20.—No woman who seeks a career should marry. No woman of intelligence and initiative can afford to marry, for the reason that matrimony robs woman of individuality and submerges her ambition. So says Miss Lydia Belle Gibson, one-time school teacher of Pittsburg and now wealthy hotel owner of Chicago. Miss Gibson says she is wedded to her profession, is supremely happy and will never marry. Twelve years ago she had an opportunity to become a wife. She was engaged to a young man who offered her a sumptuous home, love and all that, together with social position. Breaks Engagement Then she began to wonder whether she ought to submerge her identity in his or strike out for herself and independence. When she cancelled the engagement and boarded a train to Chicago she made a sacrifice that few women in her sphere would have cared to make; she had renounced marriage for a career. Today Miss Gibson is independently wealthy. She is the owner of a string of family hotels on the north side and is contemplating a new $1,000,000 enterprise next summer. Could she have attained the same success had she been married? Her answer is emphatically no. "Don't think that I dislike men," Miss Gibson said today. "In fact, I admire them very much and probably would like to be married as much as any other single woman." Submerges Ambition "But matrimony, so far as I've been able to determine her individual ambition." "I am far hitherto mine, than I will lifelong partner known legally." "Possibly this will think love—that I have." "But that is loved and been donned love for thought that is happiness. Will" "I am supreme cause in my career best good lies in my career and shall never man seeks a career." "Marriage once lose faith in her comes a clinging much on her husband of intelligence afford to be married." Miss Gibson working capital real estate management on a north end and proceeded to She made the and attractive the success from the Today she opens hotels, each one institution.

And just remember By HERBERT COREY WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. — Program for the day's musicale: One loud toot on the American bugle. One ringing blast of superiority. To be followed by a half dozen dull groans. This is the land of press agency. We all know it. We admit it. Our theatrical producers assemble a few moth-eaten costumes, some girls who have left home and a tenor who still has a few white pants left in his repertoire. They add a press agent to that mess, and serve as a light opera. If we have a strike, both sides hire a ready-letter writer and begin to send out film. When we want to get the good old common people accused, we arouse them by print. Which is the why of the success the arms parley has registered to date. Cynics who do not believe the world can be remade in 21 days allege that the European diplomats came over here with diographs and gold bricks in their sole leather trunks. They do not think that the European diplomats—or the Japanese diplomats, not to be too confining in these remarks—believed that it would be possible to cut the navies of the world down to a core. They did think that while the conversations were in progress they might make a small but pleasant profit for their own countries. Hughes and the Reporters Then Mr. Hughes dipped into the American box of tricks and brought out the largest one. That is publicity. He rounded the delegates up in one room, under the eyes of the world, as represented by 300 reporters, most of whom wear large, black shelled glasses, and told what America wanted and what America would do. "We want to cut the navies," he said in effect. "The time to cut is now." That is precisely what all the world wants, with the possible exception of some of the European delegates. So far as one has been able to get their point of view since then, they wanted all the nations to cut their navies, but each delegate wanted his particular navy as unpared as possible. They have been arguing on that line ever since, but without getting what might be called a hearty and vociferous response from the world. The world had heard the good news and wanted more of it. That is what publicity does, did, and can do. Large, wholesale publicity in heavy black type. Those who heard Mr. Hughes went away almost hysterical. All the Americans were prepared to adopt resolutions to the effect that we, the Americans, are The People, and anyone who tries to sand the rails down which the millennium is compelled sometimes to del had said often happens American points as far distant Kamchatka Knowing what lickt, not make more was the instant trial balloon internationalizing roads, for exxon was punctured it might have our own anoid day before.

They have been arguing on that line ever since, but without getting what might be called a hearty and vociferous response from the world. The world had heard the good news and wanted more of it. That is what publicity does, did, and can do. Large, wholesale publicity in heavy black type. Those who heard Mr. Hughes went away almost hysterical. All the Americans were prepared to adopt resolutions to the effect that we, the Americans, are The People, and anyone who tries to sand the rails down which the millennium is slipping our way is a goniff and a Phillistine. Then we let our little playfellows take our best trick away from us. American publicity has been running about as freely as cottage cheese ever since. Britons and Japs Got the Idea But, oh boy, what the British and the Japanese and the French have been doing to us! They got the idea. Really, when one looks them over, one is forced to suspect that these Europeans are quite a likely lot of lads. It may be necessary to tip one brick house over on them, but they rarely hang around under the walls waiting for the second edifice to fall. They saw what Hughes had done to them and to any program they might have had and smiled the sour smile of artistic appreciation, and went out and went him one better. Today they are leading him about two holes down in each round of the links. The British are perhaps the most skilled of the lot. Lord Riddell, or Sir George Allardyce Riddell—the American reporters have been in a dickens of a sweat whether to address him with careless bonhomie as "Lord" or add a touch of hauteur and distinction by speaking to him as "Sir Riddell." Neither title comes handy to reporters who have never risen about the height of ceremony marked by calling a man mister. Anyhow, Lord Riddell is the publicity agent for the British, and a wonder. He always puts out the British point of view first. Put America on Defensive Next day the American spokesman, who is usually Mr. Hughes, The complainant the reporters threw first from the door and that the pane American pointed by the fact one day late a resemblance to a denial. The vicious enough, Hughes is leaned in his endeavor diplomatic amenity want to talk to things that have committee meetings delegates were their interpretative amenity is thus saved up for the book. How sad it is rarely really pleasurable. POINTED PA Lawyers are the lawbreakers. No man is a some men are not. When self-intended stage sympathy out. Men who do no room in the woo-the thing.

"I am far happier in this world of mine, than I would be linked up as a lifelong partner to some man, and known legally as his wife. "Possibly the stranger who hears this will think I have been soured on love—that I have been jilted. "But that is not the case. I have loved and been loved. But I abandoned love for a career, because I thought that in a career lay greater happiness. Will Never Marry "I am supremely happy. And because in my career I believe the greatest good lies for me. I have chosen my career and am wedded to it. I shall never marry. No woman who seeks a career should marry. "Marriage only causes a woman to lose faith in her own ability. She becomes a clinging vine; depends too much on her husband's ability. No woman of intelligence and initiative can afford to be married." Miss Gibson arrived here with a working capital of $5. Through a real estate man she secured an option on a north side boarding house and proceeded to manage it. She made the place so "homey" and attractive that her venture was a success from the start. Today she operates a number of hotels, each one of which is a paying institution. LOSING OUT PUBLICITY GAME is compelled to "interpret," or sometimes to deny, what Dord Riddel had said the day before. It often happens that the British and American point of view are about as far distant from each other as Kamchatka and New Orleans. Knowing what we know about publicity, it is rather odd that we do not make more use of it. There was the instance of Lord Riddell's trial balloon in the matter of internationalizing the Chinese rail- OLD-TIME CHRISTMAS CAROL REVEALS OLD CUSTOM The following interesting carol is preserved in Poor Robin's Almanac for 1695. It is of interest as throwing light on the material side of the old-time Christmas celebrations. "Minced" plies are referred to, it will be noticed—a term never heard nowadays. And instead of plum pudding there is "plum porridge." The carol reveals, too, that the material for Christmas decorations was fuller in the old days, including holly, ivy, bay, rosemary and "lawrel." Now, thrice-welcome Christmas, which brings us good cheer, Minced pies and plum porridge, good ale and strong beer; With pig, goose and capon, the best that may be. So well doth the weather and our stomachs agree. Observe how the chimneys do smoak all about. The cooks are providing for dinner, no doubt. But those on whose tables no vituals appear, O. may they keep Lent all the rest of the year! With holly and ivy, so green and so gay. We deck up our houses as fresh as the.day. With bays and rosemary, and lawrel compleat. And everyone now is king of conceit. But as for curmudgeons, who will not be free. I wish they may die on the three-legged tree. It is of interest to learn that the well known and oft used courier, "Christmas comes but once a year, and when it comes it brings good cheer." originally appeared in a mock Christmas play in the Fifteenth century. Here are the lines: Bounce buckram, velvets dear, Christmas comes but once a year. And when it comes it brings good cheer. DE VALERA TO SUBMIT NEW PROPOSAL FOR IRISH PEACE Within the shopping center here I stand, a waft and stray. And watch the throngs of women dea Who pay and pay and pay Wide-eyed, I look about, but oh! Where are the toys I used to know? Swift an acrobat goes by, To boyhood's marvelling. And fascinated eyes rove high To watch the wonder thing, But heart of mine! across my sigh There floats a little home-made kite My boy demands a electric train, With fifty feet of track. His modern spirit skims the plain And brooks no holding back. O Christmas when I used to bless My key-wound fifty-cent express! My little girl I must amuse, And so I buy at view A doll that wears French high-heeled shoes And silken stockings too! Yet lo! a vision from above—My sister's doll, of rags and love! O dear, dead days that brought to me My earliest burst of speed. When Santa placed beneath the tree My first velocipede! Yet my son tells the Christmas Czar He's got to have motorcar. O tree, long since decayed and dead, What joys you held apart! Gee! how those mittens, thick and red, Warmed both my hands and heart! But now my wife I have to buy A pair of auto gauntlets high. Here, where the incandescents gleam Amid the costly show, I seem to see, as in a dream, The penny candles glow. Tree of my youth! my heart, grown new Again hangs on a branch of you! —John O'Keefe, in New York World. GERMANY UNABLE TO PAY FEBRUARY INSTALLMENT BERLIN, Dec. 20.—The answer of Chancellor Wirth to take the note of the allied reparations commission will is compelled to "interpret," or sometimes to deny, what Lord Riddel had said the day before. It often happens that the British and American point of view are about as far distant from each other as Kamchatka and New Orleans. Knowing what we know about publicity, it is rather odd that we do not make more use of it. There was the instance of Lord Riddell's trial balloon in the matter of internationalizing the Chinese railroads, for example. The balloon was punctured the next day. But it might have been punctured by our own anointed spokesmen the day before. Then some one who had the right to talk suggested that there had been difficulties in committee between the American and the British representatives in the matter of publicity. Some one wanted the things said in committee to stay in committee. Some one else did not. Some one did not even want any notes taken what the delegates said to each other. The story was printed or hinted by the newspapers. Next day Mr. Hughes gallantly galloped across the field, lance in rest, and charged that windmill. No one doubts his statement that all these strong men are as kind and gentle to each other in debate as though they were Mary's very woolly little lamb. But he might—from the point of view of the American reporter—have said it first. Hughes' Attitude Explained Admiral Kato made a statement regarding the Japanese attitude on the naval ratio. It provoked the American spokesman to a really enlightening and masterful exposition of the American case. Up to that time few American reporters had known precisely what that case was. They knew in a general way that what we wanted was all right, but they did not have the facts with which to prove it. Likewise the Chinese found themselves the centre of a revolving typhoon. American reporters were interested in the Chinese question, because the Chinese question is the kingpin of the whole situation. Minister Sze sent cold chills down the delegated backs by dropping as easily into publicity as a small boy dives off a wharf. The complaint is general among the reporters that the news comes first from the other delegations, and that the presentation of the American point of view is hampered by the fact that it is so often one day late and bears a facial resemblance to an explanation or denial. The reason why is obvious enough, of course. Mr. Hughes is leaning over backward. DE VALERA TO SUBMIT NEW PROPOSAL FOR IRISH PEACE DUBLIN, Dec. 20.—Eamon De Valera will submit to the Dail Eireann a new set of proposals for settlement with Great Britain, he announced at an open session of parliament today. With this announcement he rallied his backers for a final drive against the treaty which has been signed by English and Sinn Fein representatives. Representative Ethingham was the first of the anti-treaty men to speak. "It is a treaty of terror and perennial subjection of our people," he declared. "The supporters of the pact go into the British empire with their hands as well as their heads up." The final vote is expected late this afternoon or early tomorrow. GERMANY UNABLE TO PAY FEBRUARY INSTALLMENT BERLIN, Dec. 20.—The answer of Chancellor Wirth to take the note of the allied reparations commission will be dispatched tomorrow, it was learned reliably. Wirth's reply will state Germany is able to pay 200,000,000 gold marks on her January installments, but cannot possibly contribute a single mark in February, the United Press is informed. The January installment is 500,000,000 gold marks and 275,000,000 for February. Bandit Forces Tailor To Press His Trouseres OMAHA.—After rifling the cash register an unmasked bandit forced W. E.
