}y!X QllT, WOMAN STICKS
5,000 New York Snow Shovelers In
sist on Having Sunday Holiday
New York, Dec. 21. —Five thou
sand of the men who worked to
clean the city's streets did not show
\ip for work Sunday, because they
were paid and wanted the holiday.
Commissioner Fetherston, of the
street cleaning department, report
ed that he had 8,300 men at work
in spite of the temporary desertions,
and that the contractors had 1,700-
laborers busy with 1,000 trucks for
hauling snow.
Mrs. Kate Hickie, the first and
only woman snow shoveler on the
job. stuck to her shovel all day. She
worked in Fifth avenue, and many
camera men came along and tried to
pester her, but she refused to budge
from her task.

, Measure of Liberty
Tokio, Dec. 20.—Japanese Chris
tians of the various protestant bodies
celebrated the 400 th anniversary of
the day on which Martin Luther
nailed his theses to the church door
in Wittemburg by protesting against
the government's policy of compell
ing participation in Shinto rites. The
day being also the emperor's official
birthday gave a natural opportunity
to express first of all the patriotic
and faithful devotion of the Christian
body to the imperial house. A dec
laration read by the Rev. Dajiji Ebana
who represents the extreme radical
wing of the Congregationalists, con
tained one article reading:
"Freedom of religious belief is
guaranteed to us by the constitution
of our empire. We should exert our
selves in order to bring about a per
fect realization bf our rights urtder
this provision. Consequently, \he per
formances and events connected re
cently with shrines, the relation be
tween those shrines and the nation
al education, the many practices
carried on in towns and villages, all
of which are more or less coercive in
nature, must be viewed as infringe
ments of the freedom of religious be
lief. We believe it to be the duty of
the public-spirited men bf our em
pire to correct these evils and to seek
to bring about a more perfect realiza
tion of right and justice."
This action on the part of protest
ant christians in Japan has been pre
cipitated by tjie transference of the-
Kovernment's department of religion
from the home department to the
department of education. It has al
ways been a matter of debate as to
whether the Shinto cult is a religion
or not; but many of its ceremonies
have a distinctively religious char
acter and as such the enforcement
of them in schools and at patriotic
ceremonies is felt by Christians to
be an infringement of religious lib
erty.
IMPERIAL Ijl-TTTKH PUBLISHED
Petrograd, Dec. 20.—The letter to
the former Emperor Nicholas of Rus
sia, which led to the exiling of Gen
eral Gurko, formerly commander of
the Russia southwestern front, has
just been published here. Its chief
offense lay in the fact that General
Gurko expresses the belief that Rus
sia, after a trial of the eVils of dem
ocracy, will "once more turn towards
its lawful monarch and God's an
ointed."
HAHRISBURG TELEGRAPH
WHY DON'T MEN
PROPOSE EASILY
Every \Voman, Down in Her
Heart, Wants to
Marry
f
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
"Why don't the men propose,
mamma—why don't the men pro
pose?" Long, long ago, that was a
popular song. I Oon't remember
what "mamma" answered, but I do
remember that all the generations of
girls who have been coming along
sin'ce the days when that song was
written have had the same question
in their minds.
* ■ v
Why don't the men propose—and
how can they be made to? Impor
tant problem it is—needing solu
tion. No matter how she lies about
It, either publicly, privately or deep
within the recesses of her own soul,
every woman wants to marry. Don't
misread this and jump at conclu
sions.
I am not saying that either every
or any womun wants to marry "just
any man." Marriage means more
than ceasing to be Miss Smith, who
workp for her own living and eats
alone at a cheap table d'hote of an
evening and turning Into Mrs. Jones,
who Is supported by a. husband and
fairly certain he will at least come
for dinner If the cooking is good.
Marriage in the true sense, the sense
in which any fine woman looks upon
it...means maUng—i-intellectual, spir
itual and physical mating.
Now, when Marion Thomson —
twenty-three, charming, of good
family, sweet, lovable and earnest,
meets Arthur Johnson, twenty
eight, fine principled, well able to
support a wife and altogether the
sort of man Marion's best instincts
n'.ike her admire, there might well
be a pleasant little romance. There
ought to be, but all too often things
' gang agley" and this is what hap
pens:
The Meeting
Marlon meets Arthur, attracts
him, attracts htm more and more,
shows that he is by no means dis
tasteful to her. Tentatively, they
no up a little path together—friend
ly acquaintances—friends—half-con
fessed lovers. And then suddenly
Arthur walks out o£ Marion's life
just as she felt "a declaration"
trembling on the brink of expres
sion.
Marion can't figure out what it Is
ail about. Arthur was fond of her.
Arthur and she were fond of each
other for the matter of that. They
belonged to the same social plane.
There isn't any reason that Marion
can see for a man to be devotion it
self up to August 5, 1917, and then
vanish out of her knowledge com
pletely. finally, inexorably.
Marion writes a little note, invit
ing Arthur to call. He ignores It.
She telephones his office; he is not
in, but if she will leave her num
ber Mr. Johnson will telephono her
directly he returns. Marion leaves
her number; Arthur does not phone.
Three months have passed and Ar
thur is still a mysterious stranger
to the girl who felt fairly sure just
a season ago that he meant to be
everything in the world to her be
fore long. Why? Why? Marion
has racked her brain, puzzled over it
all—suffers more than a bit and
wails helplessly for the mystery to
solve itself.
As a matter of fact, there isn't any
mystery. The whole thing reduces
itself to these terms: Arthur Ittees
his freedom. Ho doesn't want to
assume responsibilities. He doesn't
particularly approve of the marri
ages he sees all around him. He'd
ra'her wait a few years longer • *
So when he was simply attracted by
Muripn, rather fond of her, he went
ahead with the friendship and en
joyed it in carefree fashion. Then
it began to mean a great deal to him
—a very great deal and he decided
that ho was thinking too much about
Marion.
Arthur cares too much to be "just
friends." He cares too little to want
to biad himself to Marion for life
The world is full of distractions, full
of amusing temporary relationships.
So Arthur goes out of Marion's life
because he wants to avoid responsi
bility, definite ties, because he does
not wi?h the appeal she makes to
him to become so great that she will
ever be necessary to him and he
cannot go away. He enjoys phi
landering. He doesn't want respon
sibilities.
Marion is unhappy for causes
wgven of many strands. Men like to
philander and as long as there are
women to philander with, they will
continue to amuse themseJves where
they are free to play without any
obligations of settling down to a
long trip in double harness because
they have been trotting along side
by side with a temporary partner.
Human Nature Unstable
Human nature is unstable. Life Is
flux. Change and unrest are part
of the world's portion. So men,
quite without meaning to be cruel
or brutal or caddish, go off and
leave the girls who have expected to
work out the attraction they two
feel foi each other to Its logical
conclusion. And women who have
let then.selves become emotionally
involved on insufficient evidence find
themselves left to grin and bear it
or—not grin and bear It.
The way out? First of all. a lit
tle more chivalry among women—
a definite standard *>f conduct from
which decent women will not de
part. The girl who lets any man
vho appeals to her a bit make light
and easy love to her Is probably
stealing another girl's husband and
losing her own real chances of mar
riage.
Men must be taujrht that stability
and loyalty and real devotion are
required of them if they are to be
given happy emotional experience
and privileges. And women must
not day-dream themselves Into rose
hung cottages with men who may
only bo philandering 1 a bit and who
would run miles if they dreamed
that they were whlking themselves
Into serious situations.
A little eluslveness, a little dig
nitv, a little friendly understanding,
a little recognition that it is hard
to make yourself necessary to any
one and a precious and beautiful
privilege to be able to do it. will
help girls along on the pathway to
the goal of happy marriage. And
if they don't get there, life has other
things 'to offer —other big, tine in
terests.
Why don't the men propose? Be
cause in a world full of extrava
gance and selfishness and feverish
desire for gayety, they have come
sadly to question whether the word
wife ever Includes the simple old
title, "helpmate."
Why don't the men propose? Be
cause they want to avoid responsi
bility—because they will not take on
the obligations of marriage until
their on deep desire compels them,
and because the world is tragically
full of women who make it pos
sible for them to get a weak, cheap
substitute for the big emotions of
life. j
