LOVE A DISEASE
An Eastern psychologist tells us that love is nothing
more than a disease superinduced by the traditions ot
chivalry acting upon the nervous system as a stimulant.
is that so! And just at a time when it is alleged that
chivalry “did live, as the Romans used to sa^.
This supposed authority on the greatest . kick in
life evidently gauges his deductions on the movies. It is
an indisputable fact, that the movies have created some
thing for the younger generation that will have to be
lived down. No wonder the flappers and shieks are wind
ing up haywire in their first half dozen rounds m the
matrimonial circle. The movies have served to cieate an
artificialitv that translates love into anything from
jazz-itch to mayhem, and a real 100-watt superiodine re
cipi ocal amplifier long-wave love affair must contain at
least three murders, a display of the bride-to-be’s un
dies, the groom’s favorite brand of cigarettes and a con
flagration equal to the Frisco earthquake and file!
No wonder the young things show, symptoms of
>t. Vitus’ dance when the love bug begins to sit down
and bore in.
Time was when the bride was equipped simply with
a working knowledge of the culinary art, could toss a
wicked needle, make up a featherbed and keep her lower
pedal extremities supple by treadling a spinning wheel,
not to mention blowing a dinner horn and playing “rat
tle Brown Jug” with three fingers on the spinnette. The
groom qualified for the elimination bouts by having a
steady job pulling a bellcord over a mule’s back or
weighing his fist in the corner grocery. His knowledge
of mechanics was setting the handlebars of his bars so
as not to superinduce hunchback.
But look at 'em today: The bride-to-be who cannot
run an automobile, fly an airplane, rewind the armature
of a motor, get the malaria germs out of a carburetter,
select the right brand of hair tonic for the cat’s whisk
er on the radio, interpret the distinction between static
and stadium, explain the Einstein theory of relativity in
words of three syllables, swing a wicked right uppercut,
hit her lover between the eyes with a six-shooter at 20
paces, find a solution of the prohibition enforcement
problem and is up on most of those 16,000 laws and
court decisions on divorce and alimony a la Reno is too
old-fashioned for a "oom wThse plebian lapse was the
selection of a father who wore red flannels but filled
the old cider barrel with jack.
But somehow there crops up here and there a love
sick pair whose only she tcoming is being possessed of
the primitive mating impulse, a thing fixed somewhere
about the time Darwin’s doodlebug began to give prom
ise of emerging into a vertebrae, and after taking a
look into the mirror decided that what the world needed
was politicians to keep the mosquitos company.
The trouble is that the literary love-smiths, movie
smiths and bucolic misanthrops have loaded the old
time article of love with too much frosting and tinsel.
Leave nature do its work unhampered by moronic theo
ries and we’ll get back to the old aphroism: “Marriage
is a knot tied by the tongue that cannot be untied by
the fingers.”
The new Barrett Willoughby novel “Sitka-Portal t
Romance” vividly portrays those stirring events of eai
lier days; the book will be read with equal interest h
the Sourdough’ and ‘Chechako.’ Each new venture int
the literary field by this able Alaska authoress, implanl
her more fii rnly in the foremost ranks of the Nation
writers.

HANKOW, May 2. (JP) —Bandits
in Central China have cast aside
their old-iashioned rifles for more j
modern weapons, including the ma
chine gun.
Two years ago, it was unusual to j
be held up by a Chinese bad man j
carrying anything more formidable i
than an antiquated revolver or a 1
single barreled pistol. Today, j
Thompson guns are the style.
Mounted machine guns are also
employed by the bandit gangs. !
S me have been purchased from
foreign gun-runners, while others
have been contributed to the law
less elements by deserting soldiers.
The S. S. Oduna, of the Alaska
Steamship Company, steamed out
of the bay yesterday afternoon
bound Westward with cannery
supplies. The Oduna was in port
for the greater part of three days ;
discharging cargo.
NETTED $56,000.000.
STOCKHOLM, May 2. (ZP)--The i
Swedish tobacco monopoly last year j
netted the government $56,000,000 j
which was about $6,000,000 more !
