Daring the first months of the war the marriage tie waegtrangthsned
and tenderness and respect for woman was heightened with religious senti
ment. But the war lasted too long. Many people accustomed themselves
to separation and Adjusted themselves to the freedoms and privileges of
single life. *
N Women performing the ta&r and assuming the responsibilities of
men acquired a taste for masculine independence. Many lost interest for
one reason or another in their homes.
Meantime their husbands acquired a new attitude toward life. When
wounded they were attended by women of greater refinement than they
had known before. They reached home full of illusions, which a few days
dissipated, because these illusions had never been based on reality. So
long as they were absent they felt the old tenderness; as soon as they re
tained they discovered their alienation. It followed that many families
were united only when they were parted.
The husband having served through a frightful campaign, and en
dured untold hardships, relieved of all obligations to be patient and for
bearing, made excessive demands upon those with whom he lived. Wives
no longer felt obligated to obedience nor even to returning to the domestic
fireside. They did what they .pleased and resented any attempt to check
their will.
The result is that separations and divorces have multiplied.

BEADS PREFERRED TO BREAD

Beads are more necessary than
bread to the Levant. Men, women
and children wear and cariy beads
to ward off 111 luck. Even the horses
and donkeys'have strands of beads
about their necks "to baffle the evil
eye," and the long horns of the work
oxen are decorated with blue-and
whlte beads to keep them from fall
ing prey to diseases.
In Athens, Constantinople, Tifiis,
Smyrna and other cities of the Levant
me* of all classes carry short strands
of fidget beads, which they play with
while walking in the street, riding in
street cars and trains just as nervous
men in the West finger their watch
chains. Bead shops abound every
where in the larger cities and general
stores and market stalls sell them In
the smaller places. Peddlers hawk
them In the streets everywhere.
Light-colored amber beads of large
size are the latest thing In beads for
women. Meerschaum beads are also

By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN.
Harding has jvon a tremendous vic
tory. Here's the story in brief:
Harding carried 87 states with 404
electoral votes; Cox carried 11 with
127 votes.
Republicans have margin of 22 in
senate and 160 in house.
-In comment, the household word
avalanche deems the handiest The
Republican avalanche began at the
Canadian border, from Maine to Wash
ington, and swept the country clean
clear to Mason and Dixon's line and
broke the Solid South.
The Republican avalanche swept
Tennessee, Oklahoma,. New Mexico
and Arizona- In Kentucky Richard J.
Ernst, Republican, is elected to the
J. C. W. Beckham> For
the ilrst time in history several coun
ties In Alabama went Republican, and
several precincts in the sixth Missis
sippi district did the same almost un
believable thing. Harding carried St.
Petersburg, Orlando, Daytona and oth
er towns in Florida; nine counties In
northern Georgia and a dozen parishes
In the sugar belt of Louisiana. The
G. O. P. picked up a congressman in
Texas; Harry M. Wurzbsck defeated
Carlos Bee, brother-in-law of Postmas
ter General Burleson.
President-elect Harding, whatever
else he does, is going to take a rest
He's already off on a real vacation of
a month. His Immediate destination
Is Point Isabel, Tex., via San Antonio
and Brownsville. Point Isabel Is on
the Gulf, 20 miles from Brownsville
and six miles from 'the Mexican line.
It has a population of 100 whites and
150 Mexicans. There golf, bathing,
fishing and hunting are right at hand.
CQJ. F. E. Scobey, now of San Antonio
formerly sheriff of Marion county,
Ohio, made him promise to go, win or
lose, the night 'he was nominated. It.
B. Creager, a San Antonio banker, who
seconded his nomination at Chicago,
has turned over his cottage. Of course,
the poor man will be guarded by se
cret service operatives and pestered by
newspaper men and photographers,
but he will have a goodly company of
golf buddies and other Intimate friends
along. And politics and visitors will
be barred.
Mr. Harding Is planning to go to
the Canal Zone, after a fortnight at
Point Isabel. He has been preaching
that the new American merchant ma
rine should pass free through the Pan
ama canal and he wants first-hand In
formation on conditions. Return is
set for December 6. He plans to re
sign his seat as senator Janaary 10,
when Governor-elect Davis of Ohio will
be Inaugurated and Senator-elect Wil
lis will be appointed Mr. Harding's
successor..
Alfred E. Smith, Democratic gover
nor of New York, earned a new title
in the election —"Miracle Man of Amer
ican Politics." Why, he almost re
elected himself In the face ®f a Hard
ing majority of more than a million.
The presidential vote was about this:
Harding, 1,842.222; Cox, 782,603. The
gubernatorial vote was about this:
Miller, 1,310,586; Smith, 1,256,811. Re
publicans and Democrats alike say the
feat Is unprecedented. "Al," as every
body calls him, has come up from an
orphan newsboy. Now he is spoken
Of as the logical candidate for the
presidency In 1024.
By-products of the election are many
and Interesting. Harding shatters a
tradition that no sitting senator can be
elevated to the White House. -Coolldge,
who violates every principle of poll
tics laid down by the practical poli
ticians, wins his seventeenth succes
sive candidacy.
Oklahoma elects Alice M. Robertson
of Muskogee, Republican, aged sixty
six, to congress; she went to Indian
Territory by prairie schooner, has

This conviction, incomprehensible as it seems to us, is so deeply im
bedded in the mind and heart of most Germans that discussion is useless.
The Germans bdlieve that their enemies, after having won the war that
was started for the purpose of destroying Germany, have been seeking
since the armistice? to complete their work of destruction against a help
less people by the ruthless enforcement of a treaty which they believe to
be a gross breach of the conditions on which the armistice was concluded
and without parallel in modern ( history for harshness and disregard of
the fundamental principles of humanity and justice.
If you speak of the cruelties practiced by the Germans in their eon
duct of the war, they answer by the assertion that they were cruel
than their enemies. If you instance the ruthlessness or the submarine
warfare as the crowning instance of Prussian cruelty, they retort with
apparent sincerity that it was justifiable retaliation for the more cruel
blockade methods practiced by their enemies, which were condemning the
women and children of Germany to death by starvation.
Do the Germans realize they are beatep? Emphatically, yes. The
completeness of their defeat and their utter dependence upon the good
will and mercy of their enemies now seem to be realized among all
of the people.
