This Is the season when they flourish at their best, and tlie oldest fashion re porter can recall no time in the past when fabrics were so gorgeous and lovely—and so simply handled. Every thing in the materials used has a sheen or-a shimmer or the glitter of or brown, made of calf or kid skin with Cuban type of heel. For the street, the country or traveling they are-approved by fashionable women— but they are not without rivals, for many women do not like a laced shoe. Among new arrivals there are models that follow the lead of oxfords in all lines except that tlie front vamp is changed so that lacing is done away with. The foot slips into the shoe, I metallic threads or. jewel-like spangles or headings. Rich metallic and silk brocades, metallic laces and tissues and sheer, silky materials are united In tlie_ gowns that make this a mem orable winter in tlie history of fash ions. ' All the heavier fabrics, the brocades, gold and silver tissues, velvets and metallic i£(,ces are: adapted to the straightline gowns tliat hold a strong position in the mode. They are occa sionally used alone and simply draped. More often they are made up with sheer materials, as georgette or chif fon, as shown in the picture' given here. In this gown a front and back panel of silk and metal brocade are posed over georgette, arranged in plaits at each side. Ornamentations of metallic beads on the shoulders and at the sides of the low waistline tell all the story of Its decoration. A gown like this might be made up In several different color schemes.

N . C. Nice Thing^ for Christmas Gifts R ich C henille B ag , BREEDING MALE IS OF BIG IMPORTANCE With poultry,, as with everything else, like produces like. Potil trymen, realizing the truth of this, are now making the final selection of tiieir breeders for the coining spring, ever bearing in mind that what they select now will lie multiplied ' in numbers next year. . . First of all, siiys R. E- Cray,' assist ant specialist in poultry husbandry of tlie Xcw York State Agi-Icnltural college, remember that the male is more than half the flock. The cheap est mate is the one with a pedigree record, stamina, and body conforma tion; the most'expensive male is the scrub which you usually get when ex changing with a neighbor. Remember that egg production -must be bred In, in order to be .,fed out. The good producer has body type of capacity measured’ by Its length, depth, and width of body, a lean face free from wrinkles, and a large, promi nent ey.e. The head should be well balanced, broad and deep, with every line denoting strength. The skin should be soft and pliable and the shanks smooth and flat. Abo,ve all, the breeder .should show no signs of sick ness, but its personality should de note health, vigor and interested ac tivity.'' • Only use those’ birds for breeders which have completed at lea?t one year’s production and which were culled vigorously during the period. Remember that you culied to eliminate tlie poor producers so that, you would not breed from them, and then decide how many poor birds you would pro duce if. you were t.o breeii from the pullets which you, now-.have. The comparative number of males and females.varies,with the breeds, as follows: Leghorns ...I male to 15'females Aiiconas .................'i male to 15 femalesKocka.......................I male to 10 females Keds.............I male to 10 .femalesWyandottes...........I male to 10 femares Give the breeders plenty of exercise, allowing them out in the yards when the weather permits. Keep the litter dry and deep and the house well sup plied with fresh air. High fertility and stronger chleka will result If the breeders ..are not forced.« It is,best to keep th€>ni below 50 per cent .production; 12 per cent animal protein -in the mash is suffi cient. Scaly Leg in Fowls Is ' Very Easy to Eradicate Scales on the legs of fowl are caused by a small parasite which burrows un der the small scale-like covering of the legs and once safely. Imbedded, multiplies rapidly, thus pausing the upraising and enlarging of the scales until they become unsightly and. If allowed to progress tihdisturbed, will result in lameness and irritation. Treatment for scaly leg . is very simple and once thoroughly eradicated, there is little' l’ear of a- return provid ed the quarters are kept clean, First clean the houses well and burn all trash. Give roost poles a thorough cleaning with any sort of crude oil or with common kerosene, being sure that everji part is reached. Now catch all fowls infected and dip their legs into a vessel filled luilf-fnll of a mixture of lard and kerosene, equal parts. Hold in mixture five ininutes. One treatment usually effects n cure, If not. the treatment may be repoaifd in four or five days. Sometimes it^is necessary to rub the mixture in with a soft brush, or-with tlie fingers; tlie main point being to see that the oil reaches all parts of the scales. This destroys the parasites, ufter which the, scales- drop oil" ,and the legs be come smooth and natural. - Early Hatehes-Favored A lute h!itched chick will never de velop as - rapidly, economically, of reach maturity in as short a time as earlier hatches. Jfost of tlie late stock will always appear rather im mature. never attain sufficient size, and will not start laying early enough to Iiit the market of high egg.prices. With late hatched birds' w i»nip#>feed- ing method will help hut cannot work the miracle of making something worth while out of nothing.

In the lower cor rals the new milking-machines were working smoothly, only a few of the older cows refusing to liave anything to do with them. Tripp had succeeded in locating and getting back some of the men who had worked long under Luke Sanford and whom Trevors Iiad dlsclinrged. It was a joy to see the* familiar faces of Sun ny Harper, Johnny Hodge, Bing Kel ley, Toil Bruce.' The alfalfa acreage .was extended, a little more.than dou ble,!. Plans were made for au.nbun- M ' of dry fodder to be fed with the lush silage ,during the'coming lean months. - Bud - Lee -broke Iiis string of horses and, with Tommy Burkitt and one other dependable man, began per fecting their education, with an eye turned toward a profitable sale in Jan uary. Quinnion, perforce, was left undis turbed upon the sheep-ranch, whither Emmet Sawyer had followed him. Agninst Bud Lee’s word that he had had a hand In the trouble at the old cabin were the combined oaths of two of the sheepmen that he had been witli them at the time. Hampton's guests, who Iiad planned for a month at the'ranch, stayed on. But they would be leaving at the end of June. That is, Farris and Rogers positively; the Langworthys, perhaps. The major was content here, and to stay always and always, would be an unbounded joy—of course, with little runs to the city for the opera season and for shopping trips, and a great, jolly house-party now and then. . 'The only fly ipTilarcia’s ointment was Hampton himself. She confessed as much to'Judith. "She Uked him, oh, ever so much! But was that love? She yearned for a man who would thrill her through and through, and Hamp ton didn’t always do that. Just after his heroic capture of the terrible Shorty, Marcia was thrilled to her heart’s content. But there were other days when Hampton was just Pollock Hampton. If it could only be arranged so that she could stay on and on, with no day of reckoning to come, no matri monial ^ventures on the Kbrlzon '. ‘That’s simple, my dear,” .Tuditli smiled at her. “When you get through being PoJlock Hampton's guest, you can be mine for a while:” Hampton was now a great puzzle to Mrs. Langworthy, .and even an object of her secret displeasure. .. Not that that displeasure ever went to the limit of changing Mrs. Langworthy’s plans. But she longed for the right to talk to lliin-as a mother should. For, seeking to emulate those whom he so unstint edly admired, Bud Lee and Carson and the rest of the hard-lianded, quick eyed men in the service of the ranch, Hampton.- was no Jonger the -‘careless, frankly inefficient youth who.had es corted his guests here. -He-went, for days at a time unshaven, having other matters to think of; iie came to the table bringing with him the aroma of the stables.' He also wore a pair of trousers as cylindrical in the leg as a stovepipe; over them he wore a pair of cheap blue overalls, witli the proper six-inch turn-up at the bottom to show the stovepipe trousers underneath. The overalls got soiled, then dirty, then disgracefully blotched with wagon.grease and picturesque stains, and Hampton made no apologies for them. ( Twice he left the ranch, once to be gone overnight,’ intending that it should be a mystery where he went. But, since he rode the north trail which led to the Western Lumber camp, no one doubted that lie had gone to see Bayne Trevors, in whom lie still stoutly believed. Retweep the TDtli and the memor able SOth' of June, Bud Lee saw little of Judith Sanford. She was here, there, everywhere; busy, preoccupied. Marcia he talked with twice; once when they rode together while Hamp ton, racing recklessly down, a rocky slope for a shot at a deer got a full, a sore shoulder and made his debut in certain new swear-words; once when all of the guests, with the exception of Farris, who Was palntinff the por trait of the stallion. Nightshade, and the major, who had “letters to write.” tame out to watch the horse-breaking. This time, introduced to Mrs. Lang worthy, Lee got for his bow a remark ably cold stare. Others might forget, here in the open, the distinction be tween people of the better class and their servants—not Mrs. Langworthy, If you please. . Having created his imaginary wom an. I.ee was ripe to fall In love with her when she came. He had thrilled to the touch of Judith's hand that night In the cabin; Ills .thoughts, many and many a>’dn.v. centred1 about lhe superbly alive1 beauty that was Ju dith’s. The fact disturbed him vague- Iv The thought that he w-as very deeply interested in her in the good old wav between man nnd niald, never el.iwed- me stubborn head. She was as far removed from his ideal woman as the furthermost star In the Infinite armament. Perhaps it was this very disquiet witliln him. caused by, Jlldith- WhIclI now turned his thoughts to. M“¥hat’s the sort of woman,” he .told himself stoutly- “A mint's woman^ rtfher oelf. not Just a pkrdner, the the same side In a different y. Marcia had little, feminine ways •» helplessness which turned flatteringly to the strength of the other sex. Ju dith asked no.man to aid her in mount ing Iier horse; • Marcia coquettishly slipped a daintily slippered foot into a man’s palm, rising, because of his strength. ' • Now. when his thoughts went to Ju dith, Bud Lee turned them dexterous ly to Marcia, making his comparisons, shaping them to fit into his pet theory. When, days passihg, he did not see Juditli,. he told himself that he was going to miss Marcia when she left. When one day he came unexpectedly upon ,Tuditli and with lips and eyes she flashed her ready smile at him, he felt that ,odd stir in his blood. What a pity that a girl like her, who might have -been anything, elected to do a man’s work! When, again unexpect edly, he came another day upon Mar cia riding with Hampton, there was. no fluick, stirring of the pulses, and he contented himself with the' thought: ’Now, that is the sort of woman. A man’s woman! His other self . . .” and so on. TVlien -Judith -planned a little party to mark the departure of Marcia on the 30th of June—it wasn't definitely decided tiiat the Langworthys were leaving then, but at least Farris and Rogers were—the reasons actuating her were rather more complex than Judith herself fully realized or would have admitted. She liked Marcia; she wanted to do at least this much for her. Living room,, dining room, music room, library—they would all be cleargd of the larger pieces of fur niture, the double-doors thrown opeq. The string band from Rocky Bend would come. Judith would send out Invitations to the nicer people there and to the ranches hereabout. She would have a barbecue, there would be races and the Usual holiday games, then the dance. Marcia would know nothing of it until the last day, when her eager enthusiasm would send her i-flutter to her dressing room. Unanalyzed, it was simplicity Itself, this giving a farewell party to Marcia. Under analysis, it was a different mat ter. The boys'at the ranch would be invited, and of course most of them would come. But Lee would come. Judith would see to that, even If he should hesitate. Bud Lee had always been so self- possessed, had so coolly found her incfelng.'that,.. piqued a .llttle, Judith Toh^ed Tor the opportunity to place him ip an atmosphere where a/little Lamp in Hand, Went Down Into the Cellar. of his calm self-possession might be snatched from hinj* TT she could em barrass him;-If she could see the red rise under his tanned skin, she would be giving Mr. Lee a lesson good for Ids soul. “I’ve got powerful little iise for an affair like that,” said Lee coolly, when she told him. “Thank you, Miss Sun- ford, but I don’t think I’ll come.” Judith shrugged her shoulders as though It did not in the least matter to her. • “I’m giving it for Marcia.” she said. UDo you-think it would be quite nice to hdr'to stay awajr?I am afraid that she will be hurt.” Not Judith’s words, but the look In her eyes changed Lee’s intentions. “If it’s for Miss Langworthy,” lie. said quietly, “I’ll' come.’.’ The dfly came, and Biid Lee- began to regret-that he had given his prom ise to go to Marfla’s- dance. AU day he was taciturn, aloof, avoiding not only the visitors, from Rocky Bend and the other ranches, but his own fellows as. well. He took no part Th tlie races, was missing when the blaz ing trenches and smell of broiling meat told that the barbecue Was in progress.'jHe wprked/Titlth' fils' horses as he had worked yesterday, as he would work tomorrow. TVith the dusk he went; not to the men’s quarters, but to the old cabin .at the Upper End. Again and " again that day he hod thought of that look in Judith's eyes when she had asked him to come for Marcia’s sake. TVhat the devil did she mean by.it? He didn’t know ex actly, but he did know that In its own vague way it .Irritated him. Her eyes .had laughed at him, they had teased, they had ^old him that Judith, herself wasn’t wasting" a single thought upon Mr. Bud Lee, but that she had noticed his obvious interest in Miss Langwor- thy. - “D—n it,” muttered Lee. “i, won’t go." But he had said he would go, and In Tittle things as in big ones he was scru pulous. He would go, just to dance with JIarcia and show Miss Judith a thing or two. . He felt unreasonably like taking'Miss Judith across his knee and spanking her. ' And he did have a curiosity to see just what Judithwould ,look like in a. real party-dress. “Poor little wild Indian,” he grum bled. ‘She's got the making of a won der in her, and she doesn’t even know it. TViiat's worse, doesn't care.” He sat with a dead cigarette ,be tween his fingers, staring at the wind blown flame of his coal-oil lamp. Ju dith was doing this as she did every thing that she set- her two hands on, thoroughly and with her whole heart and soul. In that lay the key to her character. There was no half-way with her. When she gave, it was open- heartedly, with no reservation; where she loved or hated, it was unreserved ly; If she gave a* dance it would be a dance, for the countryside to remem ber. s ; Yesterday Hampton hafl wondered, grinning, what he’d look like In a dress-sult again. Hadn’t had a thing on here of late but his war togs. Whereby he called attention to his tumed-up overalls, soft shirt, battered hat, and flapping vest with the tobnc- co-tag hanging out. Bud Lee turned.down the wick of his lamp, which had been smoking, and sat staring at it another five minutes. “By thunder,” he said softly to himself, •TH do it." He shoved the bunk away from its place in the comer, opened a . trap-’ door in the floor and, lamp in hand, went down into the cabin’s cellar. Here was a long pine box, hooped with tin bands for shipping, its lid securely nailed on. He set down his lamp and with shirt-sleeve wiped off some of the accumulation of dust and spider-web. 1A card with the words, “David Bur- rill Lee, ISocky Bend,” tacked to It made its appearance. Lee shook his' head and attacked the lid. “It's like digging out a dead man,” he muttered. “Well, we'll bury him again tomorrow." It was a box of odds and. ends. Clothing, a few books, a pack of pho tographs, an. ornate bridle, a pair of gold-chased spurs, a couple of hats, gloves, no end of the varied articles which might have gone hastily into such a receptacle as this from the hur ried packing in a bachelor’s apart ments. Bud Lee, with a dress-sult and the articles it demands, even to a tie and danclng-shoes, went back into the room above. “Like Hampton,” he mused, looking, at the things In his hands, “I wonder what It'll feel like to get back into these! I’m a fool.” He laughed short ly and set to work to improvise a flat iron to take the worst wrinkles out of the . cloth, “Once a fool, always a fool. ' You can’t get away from it." It was settled. He was going to- Marcia’s party. He insisted upon call ing it in his mind, “Marcia’s party.” And he was wondering, as he shaved, how Judith was going to look. As Bud Lee came through the lilacs into the courtyard, he heard the tinkle of a distant piano and the tremolo of a violin, so faint as hardly to be distin guished above the plash and gurgle of the fountains. The court, bathed in soft light, seemed a corner of fairy land, the music vanishing elfin strains to some mischievous troop put ting sighs and love dreams Tnty a sleep ing maid’s breast. The nlglit was rich with stars, warm with summer, serene with the peace of the mountains, He was late. They were already dancing within. He stood a moment, looking in at the outer edge of the flood of liglit which gushed tli rough the wide doors. Behind him Japanese lanterns hang ing from a vine-covered trellis; before him flowers, bright chandeliers, girls’ dresses like fluttering, many-colored, diaphanous butterfly wings. He had been saying to himself: “!.must hurry if I want to dance with Marcia." And something . stirring' restlessly within him shoved aside the thought of Mar cia and put in its stead the oid won der; “What sort of a Judith would he see'tonight?” He found it difficult to form any picture of her here, among these gay, inconsequent merry-makers. Judith to him spelled a girl upon a horse, boot ed, spurred, with a scarf about her neck fluttering wildly behind her as she rode, the superb, splendid figure of a- girl of the ' ou^f-dobra,' alive with the hot pioneer blood which had'bgen her rich inheritance,. a' sort of wpfiagr- iful hoy-glri! HRemove her 'flappifig iiat, her ,boots and spurs and riding-sult'. and what was left of Judith? ,■ Outside were half a dozen of the boys, who had not mustered courage to set foot bn the polished floors, Garson and Tommy Burkltt among them.- Tommy stared at Bud Lee and. his- ■jaw dropped in amazement. Carson took swift stock of such clothes as he had never suspected a good horse foreman owned, and gasped faintly: “,The d—n . .'. lady-killer!” But Lee had neither .,.eyes nor thoughts for theni, nor remembrance of his own change from working garb to that of polite society. The dance came to a lingering end, the coupled throughout the Jfig room strolled up and down, clapping their hahds softly, or vehemently as their natures or de gree of enthusiasm dictated, and Lee forgot Marcia and sought eagerly for a glimpse of Judith. Refused a second encore,. IhelCouples stood about chatting, tlie hum of lively voices bespeaking eager enjoy ment. There was no early chlUihpoa the assembly, to be disaipated -as the dance wore on; the day. of festivity outdoors had thawed the thin crust of icy atrangeness which is so natural a part of such a function as this. Al ready it seemed that everybody was. on the most cheerfuMerms with every body else. Suddenly his eyes, still seeking Judith, found Marcia. .Surrounded .by a- little knot of- men, each, of them plainly - seeking to become her happy partner for the - next dance, adorably helpless as usual, Mte Langwoithy was allowing the men to fight it out among themselves. Lee moved a little nearer to see her better. -.In a pale- blue gown, fluffy as a summer cloud, her, cheeks delicately flushed, a white rose' like a snowdrop In the gold of her ,hair, she was flutteringly happy, reminding him of those little meadow blues that bad flown palpitatingly about him that day In the fields. And she was obviously as much at her ease here, in an atmosphere, of music and flattery, as the tiny butterflies In their own meadows. Bud Lee came In, his tall form con spicuous, and went straight to Marcia. She saw him immediately; forgot her self to stare almost as Carson kact done; smiled at him brightly; waved her fan to him. - He took her hand and told her with his eyes .how pretty she was. The delicate tint in Marcia's cheeks deep ened and warmed, her eyes grew even brighter. “Flatterer!” she chided him. "Are we to talk of the moth and the star again, Mr. Lee?” The knot of men about her melted away. Lee stood looking down into her upturned. eyes, measuring her gentle beauty. He had thought of her as’ a little blue butterfly—she was more Ilkb a wee white moth, flutter ing. fluttering . . . The music, again :from a hidden dis tance, set feet to tapping. Marcia plainly hesitated, flashed a quick look from Lee to the others about them, then whispered hurriedly: I “It’s terrible of me, but—” And she slipped her hand into his arm, cast another, searching glance over her shoulder for a partner who had been too tardy In finding her, and yielded to the,temptation to have this first dance with “the most terribly fas cinating man there!” Lee slipped his arm about her, felt 'her sway with him, and lightly they caught the beat of the dance and lost themselves In it £nd still, again and again turning away from Marcia, -he sought Judith. The dance, over, their talk was in terrupted by an excited and rather overdlgnlfled youth witli a hurt look. In his young worshiping eyes,- who stiffly reminded Miss Langworthy that she had cut his dance. She was so contrite and helpless about, it that the youth’s heart was touched; she blamyd herself for her terribly stupid way of always getting things tangled up, gave him the promise of the next dance, which she had already given to some one else, disposed of him with charm ing skill, and sighed as she turned again to Lee. “I haven’t paid my respects to our hostess,” he said quietly. "Where Is Miss -Sanford?” - “She sent her excuses,” Marda told him. “Aren’t we in a draft, Mr. Lee?” He moved with her away from the soft current of air, a distinct disap pointment moving him to the verge of sudden anger. TVhat business had Ju dith to stay away? “You mean she isn’t coming at all I” he asked quickly. “Oh, no,” she told-him, busy with the rose In her hair, her eyes bright on his. “Just as the dance was be-, ginning she had to go to the telephone. Some ranch business, I don’t know wlfht. But she sent word she would lie here immediately—I believe,” and Marcia made her remark teasingly, though she did want to know, “that a certain mysterious gentleman who masquerades as a horse-lireaker is very much interested In Judith.” “Wlmt makes you say a thing like .that?” he asked, startled a little.- Marcia laughed. “A woman’s intuition, Sir Mystery!" shy informed him gayly. '“Wliat does the woman’s intuition find -to be the, iqysterious gentleman’s interest In- a certain Miss Langwor thy ?’■’ he asked lightly. > “It tells her that he likes her; that it would be fun for him, to come and play with her; that he would be kind and courteous; km t that he considers her very much as he would a foolish little butterfly!” Here's David Burrill Lee In full dress.

ECKNER DISCUSSES A PROPOSED TRANS-ATLANTIC SERVICE TO BRING MAILS. Berlin.—A weekly mail Zeppelin ser vice between the United States and Burope will soon be started/ Dr. Hugo Eckner, director of the Zeppelin com- pany, who had charge of the ZR;3’s trans-Atlantic flight, said. The Zeppelin-Goodyear combination does not intend to establish a passen ger service for the present, he indi cated, but believes on Zeppelin each way.,weekly carrying a .half million letters at 25 cents per letter would be a business success. Dr. Eckner expects , soon to leave for Spain to arrange for a Madrid- Buenos Aires service operated on the same basis as the weekly service to and from the United States. The dirigibles on this route would take four days going from. Europe and four and a half days returning, he esti mated. The airship of the future will be larger than the ZR-3, according to Dr. Eckner, who predicted the.capacity at from 100,000 to 110,000 cubic meters. AVith-such a ship, he declared, the north pole region could be easily ex plored. . As a measure for effecting an eajjy landing for the bid dirigibles, making an unlikely repetition of the troublg experienced on the ..occasion of the Washington christening of the Los Angeles, Dr. Eckner suggested start ing and landing at night- when the. sun is not shining and little gas need be blown off. Washington.—American postal offi cials are much interested in the new plans of Dr. Hugo Eckner in ,contem plating a weekly airship ‘mail service between the United States.and Europe,' but they know of no definite, steps to that end. Paul Henderson, second assistant postmaster-general, who has charge of the air mail service, has been study ing the possibilities of using airships of the Zeppelin type in. connection with the. future of, the United States’ recent acquisition of the ZR-3, now the Los Angeles.. There has been discus sion among army, navy and postal .-,of ficials, and some idea of the approxi mate costs has been worked out The government is in a friendly attitude toward any proposals which will per mit of trans-Atlantic mail transmission by airship at a cost within reaisqn, but thus far no proposals have been made to Washington by' airship manufac turers. Three Physicians Slain. Cairo.—It is understood here that the Egyptian troops in the Sudan are giving no troubble to the British and that the mutiny at Khartum, in which one British and two Syrian physicians were killed, was limiated'to about200, men of the Eleventh Sudanese regi ment, among whom there were servers casualties when British troops fired upon them. The remainder of the Sudanese battalion aided the British in overpowering the mutineers. No undue alarm, it is said, need be felt regarding the situation at Khar tum; but it is not known just what the exact statuts there is as the tele graph lines are- cut. • The students’ committee published a manifesto declaring its opposition to the present Egyptian government and calling the attention of all classes of tire people to a rumor that efforts, are being made to‘.form a , new party "which will recognize the acts of the aggressors.” .

' Secretary Mellon, dismissing this possibility, said frankly that he be lieved the French government would take such a step,, but he hesitated to suggest when their action might be expected. Mr. Mellon’s view, appear ed to be based largely on Ihe recent salification. of the European situation The French have made several ges tures toward opening funding negotia tions, but treasury officials hardly ex pect a definite proposition until after the New Year. .

Against Alco holism. Savings to the states as result of the decrease In,crime exceed the amount formerly paid, as .revenue by.the liquor interests/the report sets forth, the savings being "conservative ly estimated" at approximately $200,- 000,000 annually. The survey, which the league de clares is the most 'exntesive ever made "on^ the subject, is based on” figures from the police departments from 300 of the country’s leading cities, and the District of Columbia,’ every '-'-'state ex cept North Okrolina and Oklahoma be ing represented. It covers the total number of arrests for all causes in the iast four years prior to prohibition and the first four years of prohibition. , “It is true that the number, of ar rests of the ’dry'. peTiod in the .300 cities is greater than the number for the ‘wet,.” it iB stated! jn the report “but when analyzed in Connection with the increase in population, which is five million, the findings are contrary to the accepted belief that we are growing more criminal. ■ “The actual decrease in arrests for drunkenness, since the Volstead, act went into effect, is 42.3 per cent for the 300 cities, or. a million less cases of drunkenness. each year than there were in the ‘wet’., period, for the whole nation. Where formerly drunk cases made up 32.5 per cent of the total ar rests of the country they now ,have been cut to 18.8 per cent. “From 1913 to 1916, there ’was a yearly average Of 58,946 people arrest ed for all causes out of every million of population. The total for 300 cities was 1,756,078. ■-During the first four years of prohibition, arrests for all causes were 2,040,700, or 58,859 per million population. Thepopulation in these cities have, increased 5,000,000 during the -four years. “Applying this ratio of increase to the entire population we have a yearly total of nearly 1,000,000 less arrests during the ‘dry’ period than during the ‘wet.’ ” Doctors Close Annual Parley.

Mr. Hartness said the' survey on which the. report is based has revealed that storage-is the remedy for the nation's coal troubles. The committee recommends, accord ing to the report that-all consumers purchase their coal on an annual, con tract for yearly requirements- with-a provision that the coal be delivered, monthly in equal, allotments. Con sumers' are urged to provide- storage facilities to meet the terms.of such a contract. The recommendations are based On the finding that the purchases- of coal on a monthly. • delivery ■ basis will enable coal miners to inaugurate and; maintain • a regular production schedule and make it passible for car riers to-plan definitely both- schedules and equipment for a uniform move ment- of coal. - Man Kills W ife's Employer: Los- Angeles.—R.

IS CHRISTENED ZR-3 IS DISPLACED WITH LOS ANGELES AS OFFICIAL ' . LABEL. Washington.—A vast gray bulk, roaring northward through,the dark ness, the United States air liner Los Angeles, sped to take her' appointed station as . a commissioned ship of the navy, but none the less a ship of peace. Somewhere ahead of her in the darkness fled a half sqore of homing pigeons carrying word to the Lake- hurst station that, with full pomp and ceremony, the name of the -California city ha dbeen bestowed upon the ship by Mrs. Calvin Coplidge, wife of the nation's President. With that act, the. designation of ZR-3 which she has car ried so long/passed off the navy’s rolls —the name Los Angeles, signifying the peaceful mission she has been as signed by international agreement, blossoms in its place. It was almost a perfect day for . the christening. By the time the air giant came nosinig out of the blue-gray haze to northward, the sun had broken through the1 banking clouds -of the morning and was sweeping the sky clear moment by moment. The trip south from Lakehurst was made swiftly and the ZR-3, as she then still was, found herself with more than two hours of aerial loafing to do before she came down at the naval air station , at Anacostia, since the President apd Mrs.'Coolidge were not due to arrive before 2:45 p. m.

Washington.—With all. . phases of the tax reduction carried by the new lew in full forqe, a decrease of $79,- 3773,465 was shown In internal reve-, nue collections from ,July I to Gctober 31, the first four months of the cur rent fiscal year. The principal decreases include a loss as compared, to the same period last year . of/. $22,267,692 in income, taxes. - statement from theogveBbfixfkbgqjfk. Total internal revenue. collections for the four months covered by a state ment from the internal revenue bu reau were $736,167,423. as compared .with $815,540,988. for. the period from July I to October 31 last year. In come taxes for. the last four months were $430,119,649 while for the corres ponding period in 1923.the collections were $452,387,241. Taxes from miscellaneous sources in the four months beginning July I this year were $306,047,874 or $57,105,772 below the same period las tyear. This sharp. decrease • resulted largel from the repeal of some of the miscellan eous taxes. Tobacco taxes again showed an in crease collections between July I and October 31 being $120,696,495 as com pared with $114,492,0880 for the same period of 1923. Finally Sunk; Officers Silent. Norfolk, Va.—The battleship Wash ington was Sunk off the Virginia Capes. Beyond the terse confirmation of the s'inking and the time, nothing of ficial as to the manner in which the United States carried out the last act of its scrapping program under the naval armament limitation agreement could be learned here. Any informa tion as to the destruction of the ship, authorities at the Hampton Roads naval base said, wojild have to come from Washington. . Naval officers ashore were inclined to the belief-that the Washington’s final plunge came much quicker than was expected and may have been due to previous battering rather than to any gun fire planned. She was re ported very low in. the water and the theory ashore is that if the ship did not go, down unexpectedly the Texas had little time for carrying out fipal experiments, .. ; . ‘ M id-W est,Paper Indicted.

Y . the home of the Democratic candidate went Republican three to one, Clarksburg, Wtsi Virginia, the birth place of Juhn W Davis went Repu blican and every one knows that the W all Strtel piker failed to carry • his own State. In Vermont where Calvin Coolidge was born he receiv ed five votes to one cast for Davis. Coming nearer home, Randolph county, the home of that near-states man, old. “ Big Noise” Hammer, went Republican and the heavy weight lost his home countv by more than one thousand votes. He is go ing around over the country brag ging about what a big majority he scored when his own countv Jt^pu-; diated him. Isn’t it about time that • tne district was retiring this brag gart?

This also is the home of theillu- s rjous George R >ss Pou 1 the little pin head that ratiles around as su perintendent of the State prison.

If Thomas E Cooper, president of the Liberty Savings bank at Wilmington when the institution collapsed, will make good all losses sustained, estimated to be around $175,000 more or less, resign as a member <>f the board of education of New Hanover county; agree to lav off the. bu-iness of operating banks, and plead guilty to other indictments pending, he Leau go without a day as Judge. Vrrady’s offer is .understood. Otherwise he is to improve. New Hanover coun-- iy roads for a term of eight years Cooper takes an appeal while he thinks it over. It is impossible that he will do duty on New Han over roaus or see the ii.side of a ptison unless he gets there througn the federal court, where there isn’t so much.;Iiberi y iu making settle ments of criminal cases. , Judge Grady remarked that he is a great believer in restitution; and have the folks who lost in- the bank failure are more interested in getting their moiiey thatoin seeing Cooper shoveling sand on the coun ty roads, much as some of them may feel lie deserves that sort of job. But permitting oue convicted of a cnmn.al charge to buy out is a matter ot doubtful morals^ and. a downright discrimination iu the adminisiioii of the law.’ It is giv ing a special privilege to oue who lias money, or .can command money to pty. Certainly restitution should- act in mitigation. The. puuish- ment should be' less’ ff oiie; does all. ..Ipossible te make good tne damage lo individual, permitting the offend-' er to go if he can satisfy the injured party, taking no account of the ef fect on the feci ou tut public in a just administration of the law, is 'ather raw. But that is the big idea just; aud Jude Grade is follow ing the practice rather thau setting precedent. And that’s a little surprising, too. One had a right to think that the klan, “ one hundred per cent Aiuei ican” aud standing first for law enloiceinent, would also stand ioiemosf for treating aii law break ers alike. They’ll say they do. Hut their klucker judge didu’i seem to lie goiug that way at Wil mington. H e is quoted as criticis ing Cooper’s insincerity ou the witness staud, aud further: "If Cooper had come into court ami admitted that lie made loans when the bank’s reserves didn’t justify, and that he did it through ignor- aii&i every body-would have, saveu nitn from. ItuillIiiariuu-" The in ference Is that if Cooper bad plead ed guilty aud said he didn't know he was doing wrong. Judge Grady would not have imposed a piison sen enee. But he assumes too much when he sa\s ’ everybody woulu have been sorry” for Cotpir under the circumstances. Ignorance ol the law is not an excuse, especial Iy in a busiuess, such as running a bank, where the management is expected to keep posted as to what the law is and is criminally, negli gent if.it doesn’t. Moreover if Cooper had said he was.,ignorant it would have been au aggravation of His offense, for most folks, if 1101 ’"evervbodv, 1 would have known iiis expe ience was lying straight out if he profe-sen ignorance of the I tw as applied to the banking busi ness. But the public is all the time get ting confirmation of the prevalent opiaiotl that there is one Iavv for the fellow who can command the cash and another for him - who can’t — R. R.

Every taxpayer in tiie ctiuntv has to bump over this di-graceful piece of road and the County has received much criticism for leliing this link remain unfinish ed, It is a disgrace to the county. A titoinobiles are a necessity and the country could not get along without them. But what we start ed out to remark was that the blooming tilings have just about bankrupted tiie country and also demoralized a good part of it as well. Millions of Southern dollars are making their home in Detroit now. Vi e have the cars and the automobile factories have, the d I hirs. There are thousands of poor jieople driving cars today who are dodging their grocers, their preach er and'their dottirs because they cannot keep their cars running and their living expenses paid. Thous ands of jieople are able to own and operate cars, while other thous- JiixT-. are trying to follow in their footsteps and have 110 more need for a car than a hog has for wings. CHRISTMAS NEARLY HERE. It is only a little more than two weeks until Christmas. The Christ 11ms slmjiping has already begun and the wise merchant is using the columns of the local paper to tell what he has to offer the public The Record would be glad if its many tenders would patronize the business houses that appreciate their trade. Look through our columns and you will find many t uggestions for the holiday sliop- jiers.

Davie county has oue link of highway that she is proud of. The 27 mile stretch of concrete road . from South Mocksville to Winston-Salem is one of the finest liighwavs in North Carolina. A- hout 14 miles of this road is in Davie county, which is all of the hard-stirfate road we have. The next link that should be built in Davie is the nine miles from Mocks ville to County Line,,on Route 75 'JTxis road is traveled as much or more, than any road in the county except the finished road to Wins ton Salem. One can travel from Smitbfield1 in Johnson county, to Mocksville, a distance of about 160 miles over liard-surface road. If the Iiuk .between Mocksville and Statesville was built. the hard-stir- face would be continous all the way from Johnston'county via. Greens- boto, W'inston Salem,- Mocksviile and Statesville to Charlotte, a dis tance of nearly 250 miles. We are C. N Christian W.

Marcia explained that Mr, Lee was the gentleman who achieved perfect wonders in' the education of Ids horses. She turned to Introduce Farris, the artist. But Farris broke into Marcia's words with a sudden ex clamation. “Dave Lee!” he cried, as If he could not believe his eyes. “Yon! Here!” “Hello, Dick,” Lee' answered quietly. “Yes, I’m here. I didn’t know that you were the artist Hampton had brought up with him.” - Farris’ hand went out swiftly to be gripped In Lee's. Marcia, mystified, looked from one to the other. “You two know each other? Why. isn’t that—” She didn’t know Just what it was, so stopped, looking frankly as though she’d like to have one of them finish her sentence for her. “But.” muttered Farris, “I thought that you—” “Never mind, Dick," said Lee quick ly. And to Marcia’s mystified expres sion: “You’ll pardon us a moment, Miss LangWorthy ? I want to talk a little with Mr. Farris.” His band oh the artist’s .elbow. Bud Lee forced him gently away. The two disappeared Into the little room off the library where Jose was placing a great bowl of punch on the table. “Que hay. Bud,” grinned Jose. “Your ol' nose smell the booze d—n queek, no?” He set down his bowl and went out. Farris stared wonderingly at Lee. “Bud, Is It?” he grunted. “Breaker of horses, hired man at a dollar a day—?” “Ninety dollars a month, Dick,” Lee corrected him, with a short laugh. “Give a fellow his .true worth, old- timer.” Farris frowned. “What devil’s game Is this?” he de manded sharply. “Isn't It enough that you should drop out of the world with never a word, but that you must ShoW up now breaking horses and letting such chaps as Mrs. Simpson’s Black Spanish chum with you? Not a cursed word In five years, and I’ve lain awake nights wondering. When you went to smash—”: “When a Lee goes, to' smash,” said Bud briefly, “he goes to (smash. That’s all there is to It.”’ “But there was no sense, no use In your dropping out of sight that way—” “There was,” said Lee ‘ curtly, “or I shouldn't have' done It. It wasn’t Just that I went broke; that was a result of my own Incompetence In a bit of speculation and didn't worry me a great deal. But other things did. There were a couple of the fellows that I thought were friends of mine. I found out that they had knifed me; had helped pluck me to feather their own’ nests. It hurt, Dick; hurt like h—I’. Losing the big ranch in the South was a Jolt, I’ll admit; seeing those fellows take it over and split it two’ ways between them, sort of knocked the props out from under me. I believed Ih them, you see. After that I Just wanted to get away and sort of think things over.” “You went to Europe?" “I-did not. I don’t know how that report got out, but If people chose to think I had /gone to take , a hand In the fighting over there, I saw no need to contradict a harmless rumor., I took a horse and beat It up into the coast mountains. I tell you, Dick, I wanted to think! And I found out before I was through’ thinking that I was sick of the old life, that I was sick of people, the sort of people you nnd I knew, that there was nothing In the w orld’but-horses that-1 cared the snap of my finger about, that the only life worth living—for me—was a life In the open.” I drifted up this way I've been living my own life In my. own way for five years. I am happier at it than I used to be. That's all of the fiat little story, Dick.” “You m ight have let m e know, It seems- to me,” said F arris a bit stiffly. “So I m ight,” answ ered Lee thought fully. “I w as going' to In the first place.

Then he, too,, left the room and went back to the outer door, to his old spot, looking for Ju- dith. “The only thing I want ■ is right here,” he repeated softly. He watched Farris join Marda and Judith. He noted the eager excite ment in Marcia’s eyes, saw her turn Impulsively to Farris. The artist shook ills head and left them, ostensibly go ing In search of his partner. Marcia was speaking, excitedly to Jpdlth. Lee frowned. Once more that night he held Judith •in his arms. He meant to make ’.amends for his brusque way with her before. But again the magic of her presence was like a glorious mist, shutting them In together, shutting all of the world out. They spoke-little and the music had its will with them. Judith did not know that she sighed as the dance ended. She seemed mov ing in a dream as Lee led her through the door. They were out In the court yard, the stars shining softly down on them. In the subdued light here he stood still, looking down into her pleasure-flushed face. Again the in sistent tremor shot down his blood.• « * * » * * Here In this tender light she looked to him the masterpiece of God striv ing for the perfect In a woman’s form. Her gown, gently stirred by the warm breeze, seemed a part of her, elusive, alive, feminine. The milk-white of bare throat and shoulder and rounded arm, the rise and fall of her breast, the soft lure of her eyes, the tender smile upon her lips, drew him slowly closer, closer to her. She lifted her face a little, raising her eyes until they shone straight Into his. “Judith,” he said very quietly, very gravely, making her wonder at the tone and the words to follow: "You have had your way with me tonight. Do you understand all that means? And now—I am going to have my way with you!” He caught her In his arms, crushed her to him, kissed her. Then he let Caught Her In His Arms and Crushed Her to Him. her go and stood, stem-faced, watch ing her. For a moment he thought that the hand at’ her side was rising to strike him full In the face. But he did not move. Had such been Judith's Intention, suddenly it changed. “So,” she cried softly, “this is the sort o t fine gentleman into which. a dress-sult has made Bud Lee, horse foreman! For so great an honor surely any woman would thank him!” -She made him a slow, graceful cour tesy, and laughed at him. And so she left him, her laughter floating back, taunting him. Lee 'watdjed her until she had gone from his sight. Then he turned and went down the knoll, into the night. , , CHAPTER Xi Bud-Lee Seeke Crooked Chrie Quhmton Going down the knoll to the bunk- house, Bud Lee cursed himself at every stride.- Hecursed Carsonwhen the cattle foreman, turning to follow him, addressed a merry remark to him concerning Iils “lady-killing clothes.” The words. reminded • him of Judith's- and he (Jidtfit ’ cbtoish the retrain- brance. In the bunk-house Carson watched, him cautiously over his- old pipe as Lee began ripping off his dress- sult. , ■ “A feller called you up a while ago,” said Carson, still brighteyed with Interest .but pretending that that in terest • hadto do with the new wall telephone recently installed. “Sandy Weaver, ItotvtfS.- .Said—” . ■ “What did lie want "‘demanded’Lee, swinging, suddenly on Carson, his coat balled up in his hand and burled viciously under a bunk. “Wasn’t' I telling ’ you?” Catoon grunted. "What’s eating you. Bud? You ac’ mighty suspicious; like a man that had sw allefed poison or else Was coming down--wnh'.:.the. yeller jaundice or else whs took sudden’and powerful bad with.

By cripes, if I had a regalia like that. I’d be riding herd In ’em ev’ry Sun1 day! On the square now—” ” But Lee wasn’t listening to him and Carson knew it. He had gone quickly to the telephone, had rung the one beli for “Central,” and a moment later was speaking with Sandy Weaver of the Golden Spur saloon. Carson sucked at his pipe and kept his eyes on Lee’s face. The ensuing conversation, only one side of which came to Carson, was brief. Most of the talking was done by Sandy Weaver. Lee asked three questions; the third a simple: “Sure of it, Sandy?” Then he Jammed the receiver back upon its hook, and with no remark continued his hurried dressing. When he had come In, his face had been flushed; now it was suddenly red, the hot red of rage. His eyes, when they met Carson’s once, were stem, bright with the same quick anger. When he had drawn on his working garb and stuffed his trousers Into his bofcts, he went to his bunk and tossed back the blanket. From the straw mattress he took a heavy, old-style Colt revolver. Carson, still watching him, saw him spin the cylinder, slip a box of fresh cartridges into his pocket and turn to the door. - “Biding, Bud?” He got to his feet, stuffed his pipe into his pocket and reached for his hat. “Care If I mosey along?" “What for?" asked Lee curtly. “Oh, h—I, what’s the use being a hawg?” Carson grumbled deep down In his brown throat. “If you’re on your way to little ol' Rocky hunting trouble. If tliey's going to be shootlng- fun, why can’t you let me In on It?” Lee stood a moment framed In the doorway, frowning down at Carson. Then he turned on his heel and went out, saying coolly over his shoulder; “Come on if you want to. Quln- nlon’s In town.” •' • • * * - • • As 'their horses’ hoofs hammered the winding road for the forty miles Into Rocky Bend the two riders were for the most part silent. All of the explanation which Lee had to give, or cared te.jgive, was summed up In the brief words: “Quinnion’s In town.” To Judith, Lee had said thgt-hight they fought’ together at the Upper End that he had recognized Quinnion’s voice; “I played poker with that voice not four months ago.” That he had had ample reason to remember the ’man as well, he had not gone on to mention. But Carson knew. Carson had sat at Lee's left hand that night, across the table from Chris Qulnnlon, and’had seen the look of naked hatred In two pairs of eyes when Lee had risen to his feet and coolly branded Qulnnlon as a crook and a card sharp. For a little the two men had glared at each other, their muscles corded and ready, their eyes alert and suspicious, their hands close to their pockets. Then Qulnnlon had sneered In that evil voice of his; “You got the drop on me this time. Look out for the next” He, too, had risen nnd with Lee’s eyes hard upon him had gone out of the room. And -Car son had been disappointed in a fight. But, now—now that Bud Lee In this mood was going straight to Rocky Bend and Qulnnlon, Carson filled his deep lungs with a sigh of satisfaction. Life had. grown dull here of late: there wasn’t a fresh -scar on his bat tered body. Though the railroad had at last slipped through It, Rocky Bend was still a bad little town and proud of its badness. To the northeast lay the big timber tracts into which the West ern Lumber company Wass tearing Its destructive way; only nine miles due west were the Bock Creek mines, run ning full blast; on the other sides It was surrounded by cattle ranges, where a lusty brood of young untamed devils- were constrained to give them selves soberly to their work during the long, dusty days. -But at night, always on a Saturday evening, there came into Bocky Bend from lumber- camps, mines and cow outfits a crowd of men whose blood ran red and tur bulent, seeking a game of cards, a “whirl at the. wheel," a night of drink ing or. any other am.Usefiient. which fate might vouchsafe them. Gm>d men and'bad, they were all hard men and quick. Otherwise they would not have come into. Bocky Bend at all. Lee and Carson riding -out of toe darkness' Into the dim light of the first straggling street-lamps, passed swiftly between the rows of weather-boarded shacks and headed toward the Golden Spur saloon. I Though toe hour w as late there, w ere m any saddle-ponles standing w ith drooping beads here and. there along toe board:,sidew alks; from more than one barroom cam e toe gay rag-- ,tln^bL & fifiwajitomatiC's piano or the to iM :< $ d scream of a fiddle; Men lounged tip and dow n the street, smok ing, calling: to one another, turning. In here or th e re to have a drink or w atch a game. The tw o newcomers, w atching each m an or g roup of men, rode on slowly until they cam e to toe building on whose telse front w as a gigantic spur In yellow tJlaInt. H ere they dismount ed, tied., thetr horses, a n d . w e n t. In.. C arton, w ith , a quick eye tow ard pre band, ready to hand. It. wasn't any where that Carson could see; At the door ha whispered warningly: : "Better be ready. Bud,' JJa fc -,loftt your gun, have yoa?” ' ' - Lee shook his' head and’stepped into the room. A t the long bar w ere three, or four m en drinking. Qulnnlon -was not among them : • T here w ere’ otoejt men at the round’tables, !flaying draw, solo, stud horse. One glance showed th at Quinnion w as: not in the -room. B ut there w ere other rooms a t toe rear for those desiring privacy. Lee, nod ding this -way and th a t to friends who accosted him, m ade his - way straight to the* bar. “HeHo, Sandy,” he said quietly. Sandy Weaver, toe bartender, looked at him curiously. -A short, .heavy, blond man was Sandy Weaver, who ran a fair house and gave his atten tion strictly to his own business. Save when asked by a friend to do him ft favor, such a favor as to keep, an eye on another man. “Hello, Bud,” returned Sandy, put ting out a red hand. AU expression of interest had fled from his placid face. -“Come in. right away, eh? Hello Carson. Have somethin'; on me, you know.” Lee shook his head. “Not tonight, Sandy,” he said. “Thanks Just the same.” "Me,” grinned Carson. “I’ll go you, Sandy. Same thing—you know.” Sandy shoved put whlsky-bottle and glass. Then he turned grave eyes to Lto. "One of these fellers can tend bar while we talk If you want1; Bud," he offered. “You say Qulnnlon has been talk ing?" asked Lee. "Yes. Considerable.- All afternoon an’ evening, I guess. I didn’t hear him until I called you up.” “Then,” continued the man from Blue Lake ranch, “I don’t see any call for you and me to whisper, Sandy. What did he say?” “Said you was a liar. Bud. Anv a skeerd-of-your-life d—n bluflf." A faint, -shadowy sm ile touched Lee's eyes. , “Ju st joshing, Sandy. B ut th a t w asn't all, w as It?” “No,” said' Sandy, wiping; his b ar carefully. “T here w as the other word. Bud. An’—say, Billy, tell him w hat Q ulnnldn had to say down to the Jail bird.” Lee turned bis eyes to BUIy Young. Young, a cattlem an from the Up and Down range, shifted his belt and looked uncom fortable. “D—n if I do!” be blurted out. “H ain’t none of my funeral. An' If you ask me, I don’t Uke the sound o f th at kind of talk In m y m outh. M aybe I can’-find my way to church of a Sun day for staggerin’ w ith red-eye, but I ain't ever drug a nice girl’s nam e into a barroom.” “So,” said Lee very quietly, “that’s it, Is it?” - “Yes,” said Sandy Weaver slowly, "that’s it. Bud. Us boys knowed ol’ Luke Sanford an’ liked him. Some of us even knowed his girl. AU of us know the sort she is. When Quin- nion started his talk —oh, It’s a song an’ dance about you an’ her all alone In some d—n cabin, trying to crawl out'n the looks of things by accusin’ Qulnnlon of tryln’ to shoot you up I— well, folks Jus’ laughed at him. More recent, somebody must have tOok him serious an' smashed him In the mouth. He looks like it But,” and Sandy shrugged his thick shoulders elabor ately, “if It's up to anybody it’s up to you.” * For a .moment Bud Lee, standing very straight, his hat far back, his eyes hard and cold, looked from one to another of the men about him. In every face lie saw toe same thing; their contempt for a man like Quin- nlon, their wordless agreement with Sandy that It “wad up to Bud Lee.” Lee’s face told them nothing. “W here is he?” he asked presently. “Mos’ likely down to the Jailbird," said Billy Young. "T hat’s w here he hangs out lately." ■ ’ Lee turned and w ent out, Carson at his heels, all eyes following him. In his heart w as *a blazing, searing rage. "And th a t rage-w as not for Quln nlon alone;, H e thought of Judith as he bad seen h er th at very night, a graceful, gray-eyed-slip of a girl, the sw eetest little maid In all of the world known to him—and of,how he, brutal In the sdrge of love for her, had sw ept her into his arm s, crushed her to him, forced upon her laughing Ups the M ss of his own. “My G— d,” he said w ithin MmseIL “I w as mad. It would be a good'thing if I got Qulnnlon tonight—and he got me. Two Of a kind,” he told him self sneeringly. As he m ade his w ay down toe ill- lighted street, fits h at draw n over Ms eyes now, Bud. Lee for a fo m e n t lost sight of the row s of rude shanties, the drowsing, saddle-ponles. the street- lamps, and saw only the vision-of a girl.

Couple Found Dead in Auto. Rock Hill, S. C--The final chapter of what is said to have been a romance between Mrs. Frank Simpson, 25, and J. T. (Coon) Cornwell, 38, both of the Ogden section of York county, w*s written when they were found dead In a Ford roadster parked on the side of the York road about two and one- quarter miles from'Rock Hill. The woman had a bullet wound in her left breast that punctured her heart, while her escort's Jemple was • punctured with a leaden missile fired from his 38-caliber Smith and Wesson pistol, which lay on his knee clutched loosely by his right hand. The gruesome discovery was made by John Kee, rural mail carrier, when he passed the parked car. A short time before two shots had been heard by persons in the vicinity. After an. inquest the coroners jury- returned a verdict to the effect that the woman came to her death as the result of a gunshot wound inflicted by J. T. Cornwell, and that he fired the second shot into his own brain. While it was shown plainly at the inquest that the dead persons were responsible for the tragedy, no effort was made to uncover reasons for the unfortu nate occurrence. Coolidge Likes Plebeian Train. • Washington.—Having set a, prece dent in manner of travel. President and Mrs. Coolidge returned to Wash ington after their visit to iue Cliicu^ Livestock exposition. The executive seemed well satisfied with his economy experiment in the use of regular trains and the usual accommodations rather, than special trains or private cars, and members of the party that accompaneid hlirn to Chicago declared it would not be sur prising if on all future trips he should choose to travel as he did on the' one just ended: Railroad officials, however, sighed with relief when the train drew into the union station. Transportation of a presidential party always places the greatest responsibility on the railroad over which the exceutive chooses to travel, and the trainmen who took Mr. CMlidge to and from Chicago frankly asserted that his use of-regular equip ment hardly lessened this responsi bility. ■ “Radio Rash” Rages.

Washington.—Carrying estimates of $3,729,519.846.4S as the probable cost of operating the. Federal government in the fiscal year 1926, the annual budget was sent to Congress by Presi dent Coolidge with the announcement that a surplus of $373,743,714 appeared likely for that year. Despite a probable surplus, Mr. Coolidge advised against attempting further cuts in taxes until it has shown exactly what the present law will do in the production of revenue. He urged also against the launching of anv program contemplating new expenditures, saying the savings ac complished will avail nothing if a greater outgo from the treasury is authorized. 'In his special message transmitting the budget; Mr. Coolidg^ said the calculations as to results an ticipated from' the new tax had been borne out, and added: ' __ ‘If we continue the campaign for economy, we will pave the way for a further reduction in taxes. This re duction can not be effected immediate ly. Before it is undertaken, we should know more definitely by actual operations what our revenues will be under the'present law. Butthe knowl edge of our revenue under the exist ing law tvill avail us nothing if we embark' on any new large expenditure program.” The .budget shows estimates of $116,- 286,587 for general functions of the government including the legislative, judicial, executive and general admin istrative operations, while. $1,162,480,- 229 is provided for military functions, world war allowances, annuities, re tirement pay and military pensions. Of the total for national defense, the army is given $253,330,598 and the navy $282,158,604. Civil functions of the government call for appropriation under Qie budget of $441,021,838. From this sum the budget bureau calculates the govern ment may carry, on its foreign rela tions and protect American interests abroad, enforce the laws, administer Indian affairs and the public' domain, control banking and the currency, and do the other things for which the de partments of agriculture and' com merce, the federal trade. commission, the patent office, the tariff' commis sion and shipping hoard were created to administer. Public works will cost, under the estimates, about.$160,180,702 .of which $81,000,000 will go for roads and $53,- 840,280 for river and Iiarbor improve ment. The remainder of this division has been alloted: $9,777,257 for the re. clamation service; $8,^35,366 for the Panama canal; $2,000,OOO for railroads in Alaska, and $4,829,689 for ,other public improvements and government plant additions. In the list, falling more or less in the’ category of fixed charges, the; budget provides commitments of $1,- 372,355,186, of which $830,000,000 will go for interest on the public debt. Re duction in the; public debt will use $484,766,130 in the. year to come. Other items In this list include pro vision for refunds and losses, for which $33,088,000 is recommended; and for disbursement of trust funds, re quiring $24,501,056. Divided on the percentage basis, the budget shows that of each dollar in revenue obtained by the government, 3.57 per cent is used in general func tions of the government, 15.57. is for national defense, 18,39 for • military pensions, retirment pay, etc.; 5:56 for public works, 2 25 for promotion of marine transportation; 6.49 for civil functions; 3.4 fer refunds; .14.84 for public detlrements; 25.4 for interest on the-, public debt and 4.53 . for trust funSst." M HITS MHO TWO OTHERS WERE INJURED IN FEARFUL COLLISION NEAR COLUMBIA. Columbia, S.

Los Angeles.—Fire believed to have started In the boiler room of the Bellevue oil well at Santa Fe Springs; south of here, destroyed, six oil well derricks, causing dam age estimated at more than $500,- 000." Fire companies from San^a Fe Springs and adjoining territory ap peared to have made little headway aftet a three-hoiir battle with the flames. It is thought tie fire start ed through-a stoppage in the oil feed pipe of the Bellevue boiler. The fire companies were handi capped on account of. low ■--water •pressure and were forced to rely almost entirely on chemicals. There was apprehension for a num ber of oil storage tanks in the dis trict. OIL COIllSSiON NECESSITY SECRETARY WORK MAKES AN NUAL REPORT WITH RECOM- > MENDATiONS. NEW DECLARES . DEPARTMENT’S ANNUAL NET LOSS TOTALS TREMENDOUS SUM. Court Staggers With Whiskey Casses. Washington.—The department of justice daily is finding its task more difficult in keeping pace with the growth of the federal business it mifst transact and there iB urgent need for remedial legislation applicable to var ious phases of law enforcement. At torney General Stone declared in his annual report submitted to Congress. Federal courts are “Staggering un der the load imposed on them by pro hibition legislation,” the report stated, and added that “diverse and complex tax laws” also have increased the bur- • den iwhich the Courts must bear. The situation necessarily affects the of fices of United States attorneys and there is need, the attorney general said, not only for a greater personnel in those offices but in the salaries paid to them. While there'was a small decrease as compared with the previous year in the number of liquor cases taken into court, the decrease was termed incon sequential and its effect had not been felt in the work of those charged with enforcement. The courts disposed of 46,609 liqiior and tax law; cases in Uie year eHding last June 30, j m increase over the previous year of nearly 4,000, it was stated, -and the aggregate amount of fines and forfeitures result ing' from these cases was $7,487,000, almost $2 ,000,000 greater than the pre vious year. - To Improve Farming.

The secretary did not discuss the oil situation at length, but he declar ed formation of a commission of cab inet, officers to deal with it was “an urgent necessity.” He likewise touch ed but briefly , on the new reclamation program which was worked out by a special, commission but which, failed of • congressional approval, at the last session. Enactment of the legislation contemplated in the program, he said, was one of the tasks with which the present session should deal promptly. He suggested that within the in terior department itself there was need for a new bureau of public works, in ‘which all construction and engi-, ■neering work performed by the gov ernment could be centered. He also advocated the construction into one department, and under one member of the cabinet, of the territorial, af fairs of Alaska and Hawaii.. Declaring the problem of directing federal guardianship of ‘225,000 In dians is one of ..great concern to him, the secretary urged that centralized authority with decentralized respon sibility is essential in the Indian ser- because of the distance between, the bureau in Washington and its wards. “States should be .impressed,” he said, “that ultimately the lndian-prob lem is theirs to solve, and the govern ment’s participation should eventually be co-operative rather than initiative in character.” • Describing the growing: popularity of the nationl park system—visited •last season by record crowds in spite o f: conditions adverse to travel—Mr. Work said he hoped Cohgress would see fit to create and^^outdoor play ground, readily accessible to the mil- lions'o£ persons from densely populat ed centers of the east. He observed that. the . western states Tso far have virtually a monopoly-on national parks, the only one; in the east being Lafay ette Nationai park,, in Maine. A com mittee has inspected proposed sites for a national park in the Southern Appalachian mountain region, and its recommendation will be presented to the present Congress. Washington.—A net loss of nearly $40,000,000 was sustained by the gov ernment In' 1923 in operation of the postal service, it was shown in an ex pert analysis submitted to the senate by .I Postmaster General New. More than half of the excess of grosfc expenditures oyer receipts was found to be chargeable against second class mail, embracing newspapers and magazines., The report, filed in com pliance with a senate resolution and designed for use in connection with the bill proposing general increases in salaries of postal 'employes, -found that only first-class mail and postal savings were operated.at a profit/ /With friends of the salary-increase bill, vetoed at the last session of Con gress by President Coolidge, express ing confidence that it would be re enacted, the cost stud/ submitted was seen as necessitating a revision'of pos tal rates sufficient to bring in $100,- 000,000 additional revenue. As: now drawn, the bill provides an average in crease of $300 a year to each of the 200,000 employes. Negotiations already are. under way, to fix a date for a vote on the veto, Senator Curtis, Kansas, republican leader, said'hrreply to a question from Senator Dill, democrat, Washington. In the cloakrooms predictions were heard that the poll would not be de layed much beyond'the present'week. Although Senator Edge, republican, New Jersey, author of the vetoed meas ure, had prepared a new bill, contain' ing revenue producing sections, he de clared he had not decided whether to attempt to obtain'its consideration. Senator Edge and other proponents of the salary increases were Baid to hold that it would be impossible, legaljy, to combine the two purposes in one statute without running afoul of the constitutional inhibition against the senate inaugurating revenue-raising legislation. It was their contention that the pending salary bill should be enacted at once and a separate bill drawn in the house to effect the rate provision.' Estimates of the extent of the rate changes to be proposed were not attempted by any of the interested senators but they indicated! that the recommendations made by Postmaster General New last April probably would be followed to a degree. ..

Baltimore.-^rExperiments in which persons equipped with an artificial larynx have been enabled to speak well enough to make themselves un derstood have been conducted by Dr. J. E. Mackenty of New York, it was disclosed before the Baltimore Medical society. , Patients Who h#re undergone opera tions for cancer of the throat -and whose vocai apparatus was . removed, have been enabled .to breathe through holes in the neck' and with the. instru ment-substituted for the larynx have made themselves understood in what has been termed a “voice almost hu man” and audible throughout a good sized room. The device consists of a pad pver the breathing aparture in, the patient’s neck, with-a rubber tube leading to an instrument that stimulates the vo cal chords.. Air is . forced from the lungs and is set in-vibration, the vibra tions being carried through a short tube like a pipe stem into the speak er’s mouth. . . • ■ Money Meet Postponed.

There.was the customary dis play oit silken' hose,1 “slinker” gowns, unmarked waistlines and wrap-a-round skirts, with a faint aroma of black narcissus or other Parisian perfumes hovering about the dainty persons of the wearers. Commissioned to Paint Christ on Prison Wall Montgomery, Ala.—Having painted his way out of the federal penitentiary fti Atlanta, Max Sasanoff, Russian artist, has been commissioned to paint a picture of Christ upon the walls of Kilby prisms near here. Sasanoff was granted clemency by President Harding after the artist had translated his conception of the compassionate Christ on the gray walls of the' federal prison in Atlanta. His fame, for this picture spread, and the Big Brothers’ Bible class of Mont gomery, one of .the largest interde nominational classes In the South, ob tained the artist for a smaller task at the state prison. Prisoners at Kilby have donated'5 cents each, one-third of Oieir ,weekly allowance, to-afd in meeting the ex pense of the painting. It -is hoped that it will be ready'for unveiling by Christmas.

President Cooiiilire-was elected to the presidency on November 4 by an overwhelming majority for tho people of the country believed him when he started in a number of ad dresses, and by his actions buring the session of congress in vot ing bills designed to make a raid on the 1 reasury, that he would still be the t'hamtiion of ecouomy in government matters and would bare expenses to the bone. And Coolidge is keeping, his word and there will be no new: postoffice -building IhIIh or internal' improve ment bills of any description enacted ■ny time soon unless thev get through over the veto of President. President Coolidge let it be dis 'inetly understood the past week that he will disapprove of all such proposed legislations when word was conveyed from the White Houae to Senator Fletcher, of Florida, whose constituents are pressing him for appropriations for - public buildings in that state. The President let it also be under stood that he will again disappi-ove of the postal salary increase bill, this bill having been passed at the last session of congress and provid ing for larger pay for rural delivery carriers, postoHice clerks and other postal employes generally. The bill was vetoed by the President just a few hours before the last session of congress ended, with the result that there was not sufficient time in which to attempt to pass it over his veto. It was- also stated by authorized spokesman of the President that he wilL discourage with his veto any new river and harbors bill projects that congress may pass. He wants it known in advance.that-no ^ o rt-of so-called “pork barrel” legislation will oe tolerated, so faras the White House is concerned. Budget figures recently admitted to the President provide for spend ing as little money as possible ' for conducting the government. Secre tary Mellonbelievesthis a good po licy and the President endorses it Their contention is that the average man would rather have his tastes re duced for he would possibly have them increased by the erection of a new public building in his city. Some members of congress .were asked whether this cutting of ex penses will mean that projects al ready launched in river and harbor. 6.»nstruction were to be stopped No, thev answered, congress would not stand for that. Work that has been authorized must be- finished, it was said. It W8s also said that a strong ef fort would be made to pass the pos tal. increase salary bill at the com- i ig session of congress over the Pre sident’s veto, but considerable doubt as to its success was declared that with the election over, some mem bers would not feel the necessity of v iting to override the President’s vo>to that they did a few months ago. It will be two years until another election and that makes'a world of difference in voting.^—Ex. “ The Renegade” Party.” Nichols Longworth is a leader who leads.

The assertion is made, but no proof offered, that 50 per cent .of the members 'of state legislatures in America have never been through high school ard that only one in seventh has been through college. It does not necessarily follow that the average run of legislators ■lo not know enough An impres sive number of them geiiei a l >■ seem to know exactly wh t hevarjth. e for. Also an effective number. Nor is it al wavs apparent that legislators are devoted Io the. pub lic interest, with an eye single to the greatest number, according to the amouiit of knowledge and in tellectual training that they have had. It would be expected that the best trained minds would or dinarily dominate the mass, that the acts of legislation would in reality represent' the equipped *0 deal with the business of the state. And that, no doubt, is usually the whatever be the degree'*of educa tion of this effective minority, or 1 he iiilelleclual level of the mass. Hie majority of the members of legislative bodies are filling, noth ing else; and ordinary theie is, 110 great difficulty in the handling of the filling by the few who can think quicker and to more purpose than their fellows. Taking one legislative body with another whatever may be said of the average, those really effective fellows are men of 'opportunities, many of them; professional train ing and experiucejidded libera! sSfiobling!” 'IJven if without a full share of college advantages, they are men of such natural endow ment that they have won a good education in one way aud another, and life is to them a continuing education, as it is to every man and woman who lias been through col lege, who has really caught the idea of what it is all about.

IN ADVANCE $ 25 Seven Democrats have quit. We weie under the impression that the law compelled the sheriff to seitle in full for all back taxes before 1 lie new tax books were turned over to him. And yet we have been told that when Sheriff Cope took charge of this office that more than $7,000 of 1923 taxes were still due There are a lot of things that are past understanding. Snrelv the Democraticnierclianis in Mocksville didn’t pay for the space that was used in the Demo cratic papers to cuss the Republi cans out during the recent cam paign. We thought the $15 that was offered The Record came from the D.mocratic County Chairman. If the Democratic business houses can do without the columns of The Record we will try to get along some way or the other. There are more Republicans in Davie county than there are Democrats: NAiVlE I HEVi, PLEASE. The law says that the Clerk of the Superior Court of Davie coun ty shall name four road commis sioners to act with the three coun ty commissioners that are elected by the voters of Davie county. We understand'that W. M Seaford, Clerk of the Court, who was elect ed two years ago on the county Democrat c ticket to serve -for a term of four years, has named the following gentlemen to serve 011 the road board: J. B. Campbell, J, G. Peebles. D. D. Bennett and H. F. Tutterow. The law also savs that the Clerk shall name three men of the minority party aud one man of the majority partv on this board—in other words that three Democrats and one Republican shall be appointed. We don’t know how Mr. Seaford managed to make the above appointments without violating the law. Does lie claim that Mr. Bennett is a Democrat or Mr Tutterow a Republican? From what we can learn all four of these gentlemen voted the Democratic county ticket in the November elec tion. It is true that both of these gentlemen were Republicans pre vious to a few years ago, but if we mistake not they voted for Demo cratic countyITfficers two years ago and do uot deny it. If one of these gentleman is now a Democrat and the other a Republican would Mr. Seaford enlighten the readers of The -Record by telling them which is to bear the proud distinction of now being a Democrat? So far as yve know all of the men sel-.cted are hightoned gentlemen and are capable of ’.ulding the positions to which they have been appointed, but it seems to us-that the Clerk has^disr.egarded the law in making these appointments. It appears to us that the road board of Davie county is now composed of four Democrats and three Republicans. This being the case -we suppose t rat the Democrats iu Davie will be due any credit for the good things they may do and will also be due -any cussing for the mistakes and the wrong things that are done dur ing their administration. It • was presumed by the fairminded'people of the county that the Clerk would appoiut three Democrats and -one Republican as the law directs Since, in our opinion he has failed to do this the taxpayers should hold him responsible for any short comings of the-present board ■ X .

E SHALL have to go farther /bnck than the Christian era to find the source of Christ mas celebration, for we borrowed it from the nations existing long be fore the coming of the Christ Child. Christmas came from early Egyptian civilization, from the Teutonic barba rians, or the pagan Greek and Boman rations—or perhaps from all of them. But in the days of the early Chris tians Christmas ceased to be observed merely as a day of merrymaking and feasting. They celebrated it as a day- of good will and kindliness, the be stowing of gifts, and a time of peace, hut they considered it a holy festival and too filled with solemnity and sa cred joy to be made a time of hilarity and boisterous jollity. That the very date Is uncertain makes little real difference. In those the sun was supposed to begin to re cede from the equator. They celebrated the 21st of Decem ber by all manner of licentious revels and heathen debauchery, and even after the coming of Christianity It was centuries before th,ese pagan customs and practices wefe eliminated. And it was not until after the Middle ages that the meaning and the sig nificance of the season began to dawn upon the minds and hearts of men. In old England Christmas became a time of feasting, drinking and hilari ous merrymaking—not a very ad vanced conception, but a step beyond the pagan idea. Later the spirit- of Puritanism began to influence English customs and public real ran so high that all gayety and all festivity came to be considered sinful. AU observances of special days were declared designed by the "devllle,” !•Salem eOtly days of th e' Christians they thought it following the ■ heathenish Customs to observe birthdays- We Ouunot wonder at this when we re member that every god and. goddess, every noted man, and every animal oonsidered sncred, must each have- a Opoelnl day of, feasting and festivity. Jt Is not strange that, they should mve eome to a time when they put he whole custom aside, and celebrated one at all, not even the birthday of le Child of Bethlehem, it was not until four hundred years Mor not until Christianity had trl- hiplicd and become a recognized fnc- or In the world that they even begun o question the real date of Christ’s birth. The Western empire had accepted Bocemlier 25 as the date, and the astern churches celebrated. January ''bile other dates from September to stay 20 were observed, and each these with some good reason for fin if n' W wOS p°P.e Juliu3 who Mae setlleIl tit® controversy by ao- chn *he rtilln^ of the Western nmii nnd esfObIished December 25, turv i l 1,10 mlddle of the.

I For twelve years no special days were observed in England, and when they were once more taken back Into favor the result was what might have been expected, for the Christmas sea son became a time of feasting, drink ing, dancing and wild revei, lasting for twelve days and nights. The lord of misrule came into existence—this was the chosen master of festivities, into whose hands the keys of the hojise were given and whose word was law while the revel lasted. The days and nights were full of “ail manner of hilarity, and a most wild and merrie time was had,” we are told. • At first only the royal households had these lords of misrule, but the cus tom spread until almost every house hold had its ruler of the season’s revels. But gradually, as time passed, these wild celebrations gave place to festivals none • the less Joyous, but more befitting the season. The ceremony of bringing In the Tule 'log was observed, of decorating the house with holly and mistletoe, u.e HgIiieU cuudie in the window, and the midnight singing of carols. Still later Christmas became a day marked by bountiful dinners given to the poor by rich landowners, rather than merely a time of feasting and merrymaking. •^nii slowly the real Christinas spirit is coming more and more into the hearts of humanity, as we grow each vear to better understand the song the angels sang that starlit night on the Judean hills.

It was early-morning and the Gaylord household was astir. “Now, not a single package on that tree touched until I get the turkey in the oven.” This from the busy Mother Gaylord as she hurriedly poked into the al ready overstuffed turkey one more, spoon of dressing. "AU right, old dear,” shouted Hugh, the eldest of the three sors—“a tree wouldn’t be a tree, nor a gift a gift without you.” “Thank you, -son,” said mother as she dried her hands and joined ’the boys. “Father is sbrry.

His letter said possibly he ,.couldn’t be here for a month.” “Well, mother, let’s save the tree until he does come, and not touch a package, for a tree is not a tree, nor Is a gift'a gift with Dad awgy.” A familiar step was heard; the bell rang an<l In stepped Dad, shouting “Merry Christmas to all!

New York--Preservation of the in herent rights of the states, their “op portunity for individual development and attainment” are ’1 necessary^ not only to the preservation of the union, but to the “attainment of our place among the nations of the earth” and to the “fulfillment of our destiny as a nation,” it was. declared in an ad dress prepared for delivery by Gov. Thomas G. McLeod of South Carolina before the members of the Association of Life Insurance Presidents. Speaking on. the subject, “The Strength of the State Determines the Ultimate Strength of the Nation,” Jha South Carolina chief executive traced the growth and development of the states Nfrom the original thirteen colo, nies. He asserted that their history and environment were well known and considered in the organization- of the American government, and that “it was never intended that their in, dividual strength should be minimized or lost. “It would be but natural to expect that I should- present to you the well known arguments in sustaining the doctrine of state’s rights,” the gover; nor declared. He stated that he would not take them up because oi their familiarity to all concerned. “It was the line of demarcation in a per iod of our nation’s history,” he con tinued. "The best blood of the North and of the South met upon bloody fields of battle and in fratricide ever to be regretted, submitted to the arbi trament of, the Sword the interpreta tion of this great doctrine. “Notwithstanding this great fact, the people of this entire nation realize now as perhaps never before that there are bounds beyond which the encroachment upon the rights of the states, their sovereignty and individ uality can not go without danger to the nation at large, for the reason that the lessening of the strength ol the states wilf reflect itself in the reflected weakness of the nation.” . Woman Tries to Shoot Soviet. Paris.—An attempt to assassinate Leonid Krassin ,the new soviet envoy to France, by a woman eager to avenge the killing of her brother by the-bol- sheviki, was declared by the French police to have been averted' by the ar rest of the woman, carrying a revolver, in front of the Russian embassy. The woman had been standing In name as Marie Ergewewa taking the name of Dickson by marraige in 1917 to a New Yorker who since has died. She told plain clothes men who saw. her loitering’ before the embassy building, that she had come to Paris for the special purpose of killing Krassin. . The woman ha dbeen standing 'In front of the building for hours ,when detectives began questioning her. When she confided her purpose, to them they arrested her. Besides the revolver she had 42 cartridges in her possession. The woman will be prose cuted on the charge of carrying con cealed weapons.

Duke to create his $40,000,000 , educational fund, the tobacco magnate said at his New York residence. “I don’t believe that a college edu cation does a man giuch good In busi ness except for the personal' satisfac tion,” he asserted, “but the people of the Carolinas are increasing in num bers ..all the time and they need lead ers who must be trained. , "The people are en’titled to the best ,they can get to preach to them; they need slfullful men to teach their childrep; lawyers should be the sound est men in the community; without good doctors they can not live, and tecbnlcal raen'are needed to help their growing industries progress.” "But won’t all this luxury spoil the people of the south?” he was asked. “There will be no luxury,’4 Mr. Duke asserted. “Nothing makes people so unhappy as luxury. Satisfied ambition is an awful thing. How can you be happy if not busy? This very project will keep me busy for the rest of my life although I’m just laying down the broad prineiples.and leaving the educa tional details to others.” Woman Burns to-Death.

CHAPTER XI—Continued —12— The horrible thing was that her name hafl already been bandied about from a ruffian's lips. Lee winced at that even as he had winced at the re membrance of having been bmtally rough with Iier himself. Bnt what was past was past; Qninnion had talked and mnst talk no more. “Hell start something the minote he sees yon," cautioned Carson, his own revolver loose in the belt nnder his coat, his hard fingers like talons gripped about the butt. “Keep your eye peeted, Bnd. Better cool off a «f>eck before youytie into him. You're too mad, I tell you, for straight, quick shooting." •* Lee made no answer. Side by side the two men went on. They had left the sidewalk and walked down the middle of the rusty, rut-gouged street. Every man they met. every figure standing in the shadows, received their quick, measuring looks. “Most likely.” suggested the cattle foreman, “by now lie's got drunk an' gone to sleep it off.” But Lee knew better than that- QuinnJon wasn’t the sort that got drunk. He'd drink until the alcohol stirred up ail of the evil in his ugly heart; then he'd stop, always sure of his eye and his hand. It was far more IIkeiy that with a crowd of his own sort he was gambling in the card room of the Last Chance saloon, the Jail bird saloon as "white” men called it. Eor there was an ill-famed hang-out at the far end of the sSraggling town, just at the edge of the Italian settle ment, that of late had come to be fre quented by such as Quinnion; men who were none too well loved by the greater part of the community, men who, like Quinnion 1 . had served time In jail or penitentiary. Black Steve, who was both proprietor and bartender, and who looked like a low-class Italian, though he spoke the vernacular of the country, was the god of the "dago” quarter, the friend of those who had gotten entangled with the law. Only last year he had killed his man In his own saloon, then gone clear, through the combined perjury of his crowd. Tbe street grew steadily 'gloomier, filled with shadows. In front of the Jailbird the only light came from within and made scant war on the lurking darkness without. Lee’s ears were greeted with the.crazy whine of an old accordion, and with men’s voices lifted In laughter. He shoved the swing door open with his shoul der, Carson pushed the other lialf hack, and the two stood on the threshold, their eyes swiftly seeking Qulnnion, As though their presence had been a command for' silence, sudden hush fell over the Jailbird. The accordion man drew out a last gasping note and turned black, round eyes npon them. Black Steve, oily and perspiring, be hind his bar, caressed a heavy black mustache and looked at them out of cold, espressioniess eyes. The first glance had shown_Lee that Qulnnion was not there. At least not In the main room. But' there were the card rooms at the rear. He'gave no sign of having felt the" hostility of the many eyes turned upon him, but went quickly down through the room, turning neither to right nor left. “Ho!’ on there,” came the big boom ing voice of Steve. “What you fellers want, huh?” Lee gave him no answer but strode on. Carson, at Lee’s heels like a grim old dog, showed his teeth a lit-, tie. Steve, striking, the bar with a lieavy hand, shouted In menacing tones: "Hol' on, I say! Nobody goin’ to break In on a play that's running In my card rooms. If you fellers want anything, you ask me,” “Go ahead, Bud,” said Carson Jocosely. “It’s only, the ol' black calf bawling same as usual.’V- Iiut Lee needed no urging. He had heurd voices beyond the closed door In front of him, among them a certain high-pitched, snarling, indescribably evil voice which he knew. He put his Inind on the knob and found that the door was locked. With no waste of, 'time, he-drew hack a step, lifted his foot and drove his heel smashing into the lock. Then, throwing liimseif for ward, driving his -shoulder into the door, he burst It off its hinges. At last he had found Qulnnion. Here were half a dozen, men, hot playing cards, but InterruJited in a quiet talk. Standing on the1 far s|de of tiie table was a man ,who was as evil a thing to see as was his voice to hear, his face twisted, drawn- to the left side, the left’eye a mere slit of malevolence, the uneven teeth showing in an eternal, mirthless grin, a man whose hands, when his arms were lay as now, hung almost to his knees, a man twisted morally, men tally, and .physically. Bud Lee had eyes only for this man. But suddenly Carson had seen anoth er man.'seeking to screen himself be hind the great, misshapen bulk of Quinnion, and with new eagerness was crying: . "It’s Shorty, Bud! He’s minei”- But Shorty was no man's yet. At ids buck was a window; it wife closed and the shade was drawn, but to Shorty it spelled safety. Head first he wept tlfrough it, tearing the green, shade down, crashing through the glass, leaving discussion behind him. With a bellow of rage Carson went after him, .-forgetful in the instant that there was another matter on hand •onight. Shorty, consigned to Carson’s •are and the grafnhoose, had _ slipped away and had laughed at him. Ever .since, Carson had been yearning for the chance t<x get his two hands on Shorty's fat throat. Before the smash and tinkle of falling glass had died away Carson, plunging as Shorty bad plunged, was lost to the bulging eyes which sought to follow him, gone head first into the darkness without. Xee kept his eyes hard on Qnin- nion's. He moved a little, so that the wall was at his hack. His coat was unbuttoned; his left hand waji In his pocket, his arm holding back his coat a iirtie on that side. Tlie right hand was Iax at his side, like Quin- nion’s. He had seen the other men. though his eyes had seemed to see only one man. One of them he knew; the oth ers he Iiad seen. ,They were the sort to he found in Qainnion's company. They were the nucleus of what was spoken of as Quinnion’s crowd. ’■Quinnion.” said I,ee quietly, “you are a d—d dirty-mouthed liar.” The words came like little slaps In the face. Of the four men still in the room with Quinnion three of them moved, swiftly to one side, their eyes on their leader's face, which showed nothing of what might lie in ids mind. “I have taken the trouble,” went on Lee coolly, when Quinnion, leering back at him, made no reply, “to ride forty miles tonight for a little tatk with you. Ton are a crook and a c-ard-cheat. I told you that once be fore. Ton have been telling men that I am a coward and a four-flusher. For that I am going to run you out of town tonight. Or kill you.” Then QuinnIcm laughed at him. “Just for that?” he jeered. “Or because I’vp been tellin’ a true story about you an—” He didn’t get her name out. Per haps he hadn't expected to. His eyes had been watchful. Now, as he threw himself to one side, he whipped out his gun, dropping to one knee, his body partly concealed by the table. At the same second Bud Lee's right hand, no longer lax, sped to the re volver gripped under the coat at his left armpit. It was a situation by no means new to the four walls of the Jailbird nor to the men concerned. It was a two- man fight, with as yet no call for tiie four friends of . Quinnion to interfere. It would take the spit and snarl of a revolver, the flash of flame, the acrid smell of 'buming-powder to sw%ch their sympathetic watching into actual participation. No new situation certainly for Chris Qulnnion who took quick stock of the table with its heavy top and screened his body with It. no new situation for Steve, the big bartender who was at the shat tered door almost as Bud Lee sent it rocking drunkenly. Since a fight like this in a small room may end In three seconds and yet remain a fight for men to talk of at street comers for many a day there- Head First, Shorty W ent Through the W indowI after, it Is surely a struggle baffling adequate description. For while you speak of It. It is done'; while a clock ticks, two guns may carry hot lead and cut in two-two threads of life. ' Quinnion was down and shooting, with but ten steps or less between him and the man whom he sought to kill; Bud Lee was standing, tall and straight, back to' wall, his first bul let ripping into the boards of the table, sending a flying splinter to stick ■In Quinnion’s face, close to a squint ing, slitted eye; and as the two .guns spoke like one, a third from the open barroom shattered the lamp swinging from- the ceiling between Lee and Quinnion. Steve, the bartender, had taken a hand. The card room was plunged In dark ness so thick that Lee’s frowning, eyes could no longer mak& out Quinnion’s head above' the table. So black that to Quinnion’s eyes the tall form of Lee against the Wall was lost In shadow. • As Steve, fired his shotv into the lamp. Bud Lee.understood Just-what would be Steve’s n£±t play; the bar tender had given. Ns friends brief res- -plte from the deadly fire Cf the JBlBft By Jackson G regory CopyrisUt By Charteo ScriBaer-* Son* Lake man, and now would turn his second shot through the flimsy wall itself on the man standing there. Lee did not hesitate now, but with one iea(f was across the room, avoiding the table, seeking to come to close quarters with Quinnion and have the thing over and done with. In the bit terness stiii gnawing at his heart; be told himself again that it would be no calamity to the world if the two men who had insulted Judith Sanford went down together. - Again Steve fired. His bullet ripped into the wall, tearing-a Iiole through the partition where a brief instant ago Lee had stood. The light out in the barroom was extinguished. In the card room it was utterly, impenetrably dark now. only a vague square of les ser darkness teiiing where was the window through which sJiorty had Bed. A red flare of flame from where Quinnion crouched, and Lee stood very still, refusing the temptation to fire back. For Quinnion's bullet had sped wide of the mark, striking the wall a full yard to Lee's left. Quin- nion's eyes had not found him. would not find him soon if he stood quite motionless. The fight was still to be made, Quinnion’s friends would be taking a hand now. Steve had already joined Issue. There were six of them against him and with one shot fired from his heavy Colt there were hot five left'. No shot to be wasted. A little creaking of a floor board, a vague, misty blur almost at his side, and still Lee saved ills-fire. Quickly he lifted the big revolver, held weld ed to a grip of steel, throwing it high above bis head and striking down ward. There was almost ho sound; just the thudding blow as the thick barrel struck a heavy mat of hair, and with no outcry a man went down to lie still. At the same moment the dim square of the .window showed a form, slipping through; ,one man was seek ing safety from a -quarrel not his own. And as he went,—there came again a soft thudding blow «nd Carson's dry voice outside, saying calmly:. “Shorty got away, but you don’t, pardner. Give ’em h—I,, Bud. I’m In the play again.” “Two men down,” grunted Lee to himself with grim satisfaction. “And old Carson back on the Job. Only two to our one now.” The form in the window crumpled and under Carson's quick hands was jerked out. Suddenly It was very still in the little room. Steve did not fire a third time; Quinnion held his fire. For Lee had made no answer and they were taking heavy chances with every shot now, chances of shoot ing the wrong roan. Each of the four watchful men In the narrow apartment breathed softly. Ohce more Lee lifted his gun above his head. As he held it thus, he put opt his left hand gdntly, inch by Inch, gropingly. Extended full length; It touched nothing. Slowly he moved It in a semi-circle, the gun in his right hand always ready to come crashing down.. His fingers touched the wall, then moving, back assured- him that no one was', within reach. . Lifting a foot slowly] he took one cautious step forward, toward the spot where he had last seep Quinnion. Again his arm, circling through the darkness, sought to locate for' him ohe of the men who must be very near him now. Suddenly it brushed a man’s shoulder. There • was a sharp, muttered ex clamation, and again a flare of red flame as this man fired. But he had misjudged Bud Lee’s position by a few inches, the buij.et ,cut through Lee’s coat, and Lee’s clubbed revolver fell unerringly, smashing into 'the man’s forehead. There was a low moan; a revolver clattered to the floor, a body fell heavily. 6 “A. - new situation,” thought Lee. Three men down before a clock could tick off as many minutes and not a single man shot. It Was a place for'a man like Charlie Miller with his old pickhandie. "Bud,"' called Carson’s- voice sharp ly, “are you all right?” “Tes,” answered Lee briefly;], and as he answered moved, sharply to one side so that bis voice might hot draw a shot from Quinnion or the other men. There came two spurts of flame, one from .each of the comers of the room opposite him, the reports of the two shots reverberating loudly. But this was mere guesswork—shooting at no more definite'thing than a man’s voice, and Lee having moved swiftly had lit tle fear. And he knew pretty well where those two men were now. So did Carson, who from without fired In twice'through the window. Then again It grew so silent that a clock ticking somewhere out in the bari-oom was to be heard distinctly, so .that again the men guarded their breathing, . ■ , ' Lee thought that he knew where Quinnion Wqs, in th^ corner- at his right close to the rear wall, Not square in the comer, of course, for having fired he-was fox enough to shift his-position a little, Trne 1 no sound hod told of eneli » movement- But Qulnnion could he treated to moke no sound ftt ft time Hlte this- Lee, equally, Pilftnfi FtoftififtPf ft slew 'foot I ont < whvlnf -FftHtIfiHftIy toward the spot Wiiere Sm ftJfftft ftOHghf Qnin- StoB 1» Qlft flfl#:. - Bft WW IWBHv MWs / Quinnion had fired twice from the screen of the table just as Steve shot out the light ; he had'fired again just now, it was a fair bet that at least one of the other shots had been his. That meant that be had fired four times. If Quinnion still carried his old six-shooter he bad but two shots, at most left to him, for ,there had been no time which he would.risk In re-' loading. ' Lee swept off his hat and tossed It out before him to the spot where he believed Quinnion was and dropped swiftly to his knee as be did so. There was a -snarl, Quinnion’s evil snarl, and a shot that sped high above his heacT His hat had struck Quin nion full in the face. Then Lee again sprang forward, again struck ont with his clubbed revolver. The blow missed Quinnion’s head but caught him heav ily on the shoulder and sent him stag gering back against the wail. Lee could hear the bulk of his body crash ing against the boards. And again leaping, he struck the second time at Quinnion. This time there was no snarl, but a falling weight and still ness. , There was a sound of a chair vio lently thrown down, the scuffle of hasty feet and in the door the faint blur of a flying figure seeking refuge In the bar. Lee flung, the crippled door shut after the fugitive and then with his left hand struck a match, his revolver ready in his right. Holdin^the tiny flame down toward the floor, Le made out two prone bodies. One, that’of the first man he had struck down, a man whom he knew by name as Lefty -Devine, a brawler and boon companion of Quin nion. The other Quinnion. himself. Devine lay very still, clearly com pletely stunned. Quinnion moved a little. ; Carson’s weather-beaten face peered in at the window. “Better do the hot foot. Bud." he grunted Boftly, “while the trail’s open. Steve will be mixing in again." But Lee seemed In no haste now. When the match had burned out he dropped it and slipped fresh cartridges into his gun. That done, he stooped, gathered up Quinnion's feebly strug gling body in his arms and carried it to the window. “Here,” he said coolly to Carson. “Take him through.” Carson obeyed, jerking the now complaining Quinnion out hastily and unceremoniously. Lee followed as Steve threw open the barroom door. “It's, a new one on me, just the same,” said Carson dryly as he watched Lee stoop and gather Quin nion up in his arms. “After a little party like this one, I’m generally trav eling oil an’ not stopping to pick flow ers an’ gather sooveneers! You ain’t got cannibal blood in you, have you, Bud?" •• s While Carson was cudgeling his brains for the answer and Steve was making cautious' examination; of -thp card room, Lee with his burden in hi.- arms passed through the darkness ly ing at the rear of the saloon and out into the street. Carson followed to take fetre of a sortie should Steve and the rest not have bad all they wanted for one night He chuckled, remark ing .to himself that Bud Lee and Quin nion were the very picture of a young mother and her babe In arms.- Not until they again reached the Golden Spur’ did Lee’s burden com pletely recover consciousness. Many a man on the street looked wonder- ingly after them, demanded to know “what was up,” and, receiving no an swer, swung in behind Carson. V In the Golden Spur” the arrivals were greeted by a heavy silence. Sandy Weaver forgot to set out the drinks which had. just ,-been ordered by three men who, In their turn, for got -that they had ordered. . Men at the tables playing cards put down their hands and rose or turned expec tantly in. their seats. Lee put Quinnion down on the floor. The man lay there a moment blinking at the lights above him and at the faces around him. At IengtlFhis eyes came to Lee. “D—n you,” he muttered, trying to rise, and slowly getting to his feet with- the aid of a chair. “I’ll get you—” ' 'Then Bud Lee gave his brief ex planation, cutting Quinnion’s ugly snarl In two. “This is Quinnion’s farewell party,” he said bluntly. “He Is a liar and a crook and an undesirable citizen. I have told him all that before. He took if upon himself to say about town that I am all of those things which he is himself. Il have d—n near killed him for It; I am going to give him ten min utes to get nut of town. If be doesn’t do It, I sm going to’ kill him. Aqd in that ten minutes he is going to find time to eat his words." “I’ll see yru In—” began Qulnnion, as something of the old bluster came \back to him, "Shut up I” snapped Lee. “Carson, let me have your gun.” • ' Carson, wondering, gave it Lee dropped It oq the floor at Quinnion’s “foot. ".. .--V "Pick that gun up and we’ll finish whpt we’ve begun," he said coolly to Qulnnion, "I won't shoot until you’ve got it In your hand and have straigbt- ghefl up, Then I’ll kill you. Unless flfftt you admit that you are the coa- ’,temptlble Har every one- knows you ftfft, <rnd seeond, get out of town and StoS UUt. It’s up to you, Qulnnion." • Qulhttlon, the men moved swiftly so that they did. not stand be hind either him or Lee; Sandy Weav er, shifting a few feet along’his bar, shook his head and-sighed. “It’ll be both of them,” he mut tered. , ’ • Qulnnion turned his hedd a little, his red-rimmed eyes going from face to face, his tongue moving back and forth between his lips. For an in stant bis eyes dropped to the gun at his feet, and a little spasmodic con traction of Jjis body showed that he was tempted to take up the weapon. But he hesitated, and again turned to LeA “It’s up to you,” repeated Lee. JTf you’re not a coward after all, pick it up.” Lee’s hands were at his sides, bis Own revolver in his pocket. Quin nion wvs tempted. The evil lights In “One, Two,” Said Sandy, W atching the Clock. his eyes danced like wltcli-fires. Again he hesitated; but his hesitation was brief. . With his whining, ugly laugh he lurched to the bar. “Gimme a drink,.

C Combined Deaths and Inju- r ie s 700,600 in 1923. Washington.—1"There is almost total . k of sy stem atic effort to secure ac- „M,e and complete data regarding Mffic accidents, their types and uses, ..ad methods of prevention,” I elares the Committee on Statistics JflJie conference on Street and Hlgh- SnIety1 in a report- to Secretarywaye Hoover based on a thor- ,viiich revealed an annual 0f Coiiiiiicrce /.itch survey ■ IWS ill Die United States due to street and liigliwiiy accidents In 1923 of 22,- 600 persons killed, 678,000 serious in juries and an economic loss of $600,- 000.000. Hie eommitlee’s report shows that ,Iiere were more than twice as many casualties in street and highway 'ac cidents in the United States during 1923 than there were for the United States iiriiiy at home and ‘abroad In ,he World war. The highway and street casualties include “killed and seriously injured.” This takes no ac count of minor accidents. The report also shows that there were only 14,216 more of our men killed it- action In the World war than in street and highway accidents In 1923. In states where centralized agen cies have been created to investigate such accidents, it has been possible to attempt a systematic remedy of the conditions. But 34 states have no adequate system forjsecuring such in formation and in few states is any record kept except where death or se rious personal injury result from traffic accidents. Committee's Recommendations. Such facts, the committee says, "are fundamental to the adoption of ade quate methods of traffic control, If the present situation is to be Improved.” And the committee’s recommendations provide that: ’’Statistics regarding street and high way accidents are so vital to any com prehensive understanding and treat ment of the safety problem that, their collection and analysis In every state and community is essential. "Where such do not exist, statutes Ehould be passed In every state which should make it the specific business of some state agency, preferably that clothed with authority to issue and revoke licenses, to' receive traffic ac cident reports and investigate ail, such accidents, whether occurring witliin or without the corporate limits of Inu- nlclpalitles. "it should be made, by law,.obliga tory for those concerned to report all traffic accidents, and an adequate pen alty for failure to report should be provided. “Seasonable uniformity In reporting' and tabulating data is essential, and aoiue competent body should under take the compilation of standard defi nitions of terms. "Sufficiently detailed information should be gathered to Indicate clearly whether the accidents occurred be cause of: Recklessness, carelessness or incapacity of persons; fault of mechanism of vehiclephysical condi tions of the locality where, the acci dent occurred. Urges Spot M aps. The committee includes 18 items of information which should be ob tained to constitute an adequate re port. Spot maps, to detect danger points and to serve as a basis for remedial action, should be maintained. The experience of the committee led its members to express the hope that its report “will lead to improvement In the field of traffic accident report ing; that it will stimulate the govern mental agencies and the various pri vate orgpnizations Interested to a mure IntensPve study . . . and greater efforts.” ■n its study of fatal accidents the committee found from the records of the census bureau that highway fa talities are griiwing at a more rapid rate than accidental deaths from all causes and that'automoblle fatalities are growing more rapidly than high way fatalities as a whole.' For ex ample, the total number of accidental deaths Increased lQ.7per cent, between 1922 and 1923, whereas'the total num ber of highway fatalities increased 17.8 Per cent,'and automobile.fatalities in creased 20.3 per cent. Woman 100 Years OltI Does Own Housework Grand Ledge, Mich.—“I came to have glasses fitted, not my age,” Mrs. Adelia D. Pickens, one hundred years old, told an optometrist recently when she came here from her home near Vegmontville to get. new glasses. “I’m too busy to think about my age,” she said, .“but I want the glasses to read with In my spare, moments whey I'm not busy with housework." Mrs. Pickens lives with her only re maining child, a bachelor son, and she does all her odm housework. She Iias had five children. RecenMy she decided it was cheaper to buy bread than bake it, but feared her friends would think she was getting lazy if she didn’t bake, so she continued to make her own, and it’s mighty good bread, ,too, her neigh- bors say. Her active life has kept wrinkles away and she does not ap pear more than sixty years old. She has been a widow since 1861, when her husband went to Kentucky to get a sick brother and ,himself fell sick and died.

Jqdd, leader of the National Geographic so ciety’s' expedition .to PUeblo Bonitol ■the . pre-Columbian' “apartment house” of Chaco canyon, New Mexico, has brought back to Washington an amaz ing array of exquisite art objects and domestic utensils which shed new light on an early metropolis of Indian America. . Perhaps the most beautiful piece In the collection is a turquoise necklace of 2,500 pieces and four pendants— the only complete specimen of such a necklace known. The method by whlch% the Indians ground down the tiny pieces, and bored them out to be strung on sinews,. has won the admiration of modern jewelers who have seen it. The four pendants are remarkable specimens of turquoise, deep blue, and with them, Mr. Judd said, he could have purchased every Ifi^lan horse,--in San Juan coqnty. Jew els' M ounted W ith Pine Bum. Other unique objects d’art are’jet rings, perfectly rounded, on which are' mounted tiny ctiryed turquoise birds. The mounting was done with pine gum, the adhesive of the American ancients, which lasted through the' ages the rings, lay buried in-the pueblo ruins. To get Uiesel and Other tiny pieces, the geographic explorers have sifted tons "of debris, after building a minia ture railroad, ■ and set mule-drawn steel dump cars to work hauling out the rubbish. Recovered by this tedious process are some of the closest woven and finest specimens ,of‘Indian basketry yet .dis; covered. To preservb these required the Ujmost dexterity, for. often upon exposure a zephyrllke breeze . would dissipate the specimens. The hope of preserving them.,lay in waxing them ,.immediately upon their exposure.

It may furnish- another clue to piece out further the habits, cus toms and religious beliefs of these aborigines. Although they left no' written words, nor even' any picto- graph records that can be deciphered, they attained a civilization as interest ing as the early cultures along the Nile and In Mesopotamia, yet distinc tive from all Old World peoples. Al ready the daily life of the Bonito dwellers has been pieced out patiently in great detail. “That object looks like a ‘vanity box,’ ” remarked one geographer who viewed the collections. “Not only that, but here is a bit of the rouge the Bonltana used,” replied Mr. Judd, and he displayed a lump of reddish clay, which still will color the flesh. These "makeup” devices wete used' by the Bonitan men, however, rather than their women, and they served principally MT the beautifica tion of participants In their dramatic religious ceremonies. ; PIpes also are In the collection. Some of these were "pleasure pipes” resembling very mu'ch-the short, Wge- bowl English models. Others resemble cigar holders, with flaring bowls, and these were used to “make clouds” in the Bonitan’s kivas or worship cham bers. Objects which shed light on the economic habits of the BonItans are' the fleshers, with jet and tUrquoise Inlays, used to remove'flesh from the skins of animals; flint knives, which are chipped -down with Infinite pkill and -phtierice; and 'bone' needles, used' In sewing skins. The broad area of communication oi these and&t peoples is disclosed by objects found In their “apartments" which were brought from points assis tant as the Pacific coast and the val ley of‘Mexico. - / THEIMPROVED WELL FIXTURE SIMPLEST.

The re cent rise in feed prices should prompt the poultry keeper to prosecute a cull ing program with unusual vigor. Careful examination of every pullet on the range should follow closely on the culling of 'the poor layers, l’ul- Jels possessing obvious and harmful -deformities should never be allowed to gb into winter quarters. Such de fects as twisted beaks and toes will hamper efficient egg production, while crooked breast bones, slipped wings, ■wry tails and roach backs often indi cate lack of constitutional vigor and are equally undesirable. Under ordi nary conditions, proper economy will eliminate these individuals as soon us they appear. In a year like this, how ever, when feed promises to be higher Sn price, the poultryman should cull ids flock of pullets with unusual se verity. Only the good pullets can make money during the coming year, says the Department of Agriculture. The Jute-maturing, slow-growing pullets are not likely to lay many fall or win ter eggs. The under-sized, thin pullet is lacking in constitution and is a fu ture menace to the healthsof the flock. Among the late-batched pullets only the most thrifty can prove at all prof itable. Early-maturing, well-growtrpul lets of splendid health and vigor liave used their feed economically during the growing season and should be found in good flesh. These promising pullets should,lay well during the win ter months and prove profitable. In the present p> riod of Increased feed custsk no othet pullets should be kept. if the present increase in cost of feed serves to induce more widespread and careful culling practice, much good WflJ result to the poultry industry. The smaller, more efficient flock #will produce more economically, raising the average production per bird. The rigid selection of breeders will permanently Jmprore the productive qualities of the slock. Wheat Will Profitably Assist Poultry Ration Wheat instead of a part of the corn Way profitably make up a large portion of the poultry ration. This is the answer given by D. C. Xennard, poultryman at the Ohio ag ricultural experiment station, in reply to the use of wheat instead of corn. Since yellow corn possesses some properties not found In wheat, he finds that It Is well to add 10 or 20 per cent of ground corn to the mash even though tire price Is considerably higher than that of wheat. If wheat Js used to replace bran and middlings Sn the mash it is well to use 25 per cent bran to overcome the pastiness of the ground wheat. Tbe scratch grain may be composed largely of wheat but here again yel- -Iow corn mokes a valuable addition. A Einin mixture may be made of 60 per cent wheat, 20 yellow corn, and 20 of oats, or the oats may be omitted it desired. As corn Is valuable for feeding winter layers just before XMsting time. It may be fed alone late In the evening instead of mixing with the other grain. Since wheat supplies little vitamin A as compared to yellow corn, Mr. Senuard finds it essential that an abundance of green feed, such as cab bage; be-provided!

Selling Eggs Nearby Is Reason for Big Profits The success' some poultrymen have Sad In selling eggs on local markets has been due to good management more than good luck. They satis Ey- the demand of townspeople for fresh, high-grade products: By producing infertile eggs, gather ing them twice a day, and keeping them In a place not over 60 degrees Sn temperature. ■By taking to the consumer’s clean kitchen, eggs equally as clean. Most ponitrymen use either a cloth and washing powder or steel wool. Ey using substantial, convenient car tons of the dVrzen-size, by putting- in* such cartons eggs fairly even In size, and by leaving out altogether the small eggs. Deliveries are usually made at least once a week. Some men run a butter rcacSe along with their eggs, and so cot dhntB: the cost of delivery of each product. Using the farm name or some at-, tractive trade mark on the carton helps advertise the producer and broadcast more readily the quality of his product. - Mash Feeding Overdone 3SaSb leediog is a wonderful asset In the right place but can often be overdone. A properly compiled mash wfll mature pullets too quickly when feil In unlimited quantities.- A proper proportion between mash and grain jfeefling is necessary for best results. One needs to feed rather heavy, on grain and . then allow us much mash In addition" as they will consume. ' Un iter some conditions the hopper feed ing of grain as well as mash is ad- risaWe. The autum n skies are flushed w ith gold. And fair and bright the rivers run: These are but stream s of w inter cold, And painted m ists that quench the sun. SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS A very delicious combination for a cake is chocolate layer cake with an orange filling. One may use any simple recipe for the cake and the filling below: Orange Layer Cake.— Cream together one cup ful of butter and two cupfuls of sugar. To this add three egg yolks, one at a time, beating vig orously after each addi tion. Sift together three cupfuls of pastry flour and two table- spoonfpls of baking powder. Add the flour alternately with one cupful of milk and mix thoroughly. Last of all add five stiffly beaten egg whites and bake In three layers. When cold put together with ; Orange Filling.—Boil together one- third of a cupful of water, one-half cupful of sugar, and the grated rind of two oranges. Combine one tablespoon ful of lemon juice, ti/o-thirds cupful of orange juice, two tabiespoonfuls of cornstarch, three well-beaten egg yolks; add to the first mixture and cook until it thickens. Remove from the fire and add one tablespoonfui of butter.* When partly cool spread between the layers. Cover the top of, the cake with: Orange Icing— Boll together one cupful of sugar, on^-thlrd of a cupful of water and the grated rind of one orange. Cook to the soft-hoil stage and pour over a stiffly beaten egg white. Beat -untilxthlck enough Io spread without running. A good way to hold a thick frosting on top of a cake is to pin a three-inch band of buttered paper around the cake, pour over Ihe frosting and leave the paper on until the frosting hardens. Three-Layer Cake.—Cream one-half cupful of shortening; gradually add one and one-hall cupfuls of sugar. Slft together two cupfuls of flour and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder; add to the butter mixture, alternately with three-fourths of a cupful -of milk, one -teaspoonful of vanilla and the whites of four • eggs, beaten stiff. When thoroughly blended bake In three lay ers. Roquefort Appetizers.—C ru m b le one-fourth cupful of Roquefort cheese, add one-fourth teaspoonfnl of paprika, one teaspoonfnl Cf lemon juice and enough catsup to make the mixture of the right consistency to spread. Creant together, spread a thin layer of slices of buttered bread cut very thln' and in various shapes. Planked Steak.—The steak should he cut about an intlt and one-half thick. Wipe carefully with a damp cloth. On a well greased, hot broiler, cook the steak over coals or under gas for, eight minutes, turning it four or five times. Set the steak on a hqt plank; arrange- four cooked stuffed onions around it,- alternating , with four stuffed raw tomatoes. Brush with egg yolk and pipe Well-Seasoved mashed potato around the edges of the plank. Set In the oven to finish cooking the steak—about six minutes —and serve from the plank.

The tunic and sheath styles find them selves rivaled by silhouettes In which plaits, side panels, flares and draper ies indicate a " movement toward less dominance of the straight line. Besides this diversity in silhouettes, interest Is added to new day frocks by variety of materials used and by the introduction of smartly tailored mod els. For- these business, or traveling, to a certainty—arid that Is -the insistence pf the - mode In the mat ter of the straightline. . There Is va riety In style of sleeves, collars, fast-- enings. but no departure from the straight and narrow way In the sil houette. In sports models mannish types form a distinct class—roomy and very smartly styled bat still straight. To make up for uniformity of line fashion favors us with much variety In colors and, fabrics, count less trimming Ideas both In fabrics and furs. '■ . Even inexpensive -coats are rich and tasteful In appearance.. Nearly J Tailored Model of Hairline Twill. or utility frocks, the choice of design ers falls upon wool fabrics—polret and other twills in plain or hairline stripes, plain and checkered flannels and other wools—while dresses that are to serve for informal afternoon wear add to the plain wools a choice of crepe-satin, flat crepe, canton and novelty weaves In wool. But the variety in fabrics" is far less than that in designs, which are so much varied by little differences In decoration. These dresses are all long-sleeved, but sleeve finishes and neck treatments know no end to indi vidual touches. Some Idea of the di versity in designs can be gathered from the illustration, which emphasizes a tailored model of hairline twill. This all of them have some touch of fur— if only a band on the full collars so made ps to muffle up the neck when they are needed. The care with which furs and fabrics are matched up In color tones—using shades that blend" or sharp contrasts that are attrac tive—is an outstanding feature in th'e styles. The two coats pictured disclose the management of fur trimming suc cessfully, either when it is lavishly or sparingly used. In the coat at the left scallops of the material are placed over an underlying strip of metallic braid. One can Imagine it in gray or beige pile fabric trimmed with squirrel fur in natural color, or In brown with a brown fur or black with black fur.

Once upon a lime there was Farmer, who had upm his place a number of Dogs, which he fed-with great Regularity, treated with Kindness and housed Camfortably in a Kennel. Certain of these Dogs, growing Discontented with their lot, and Noticing that oceassionally Packs of Wolves descended upon the Farm and made way of the Dogs’ regular Diet, decided to joit- the Wolves, and betaking themseves to the Woods, they made a con tract with the Wolves to make them leaders of the Pack', in considera tion of their being the better able to direct the Marauders to the choicest Pullets on the hone roost But while making their first foray as Wolves, the renegade Dogs were discovered by the Farmer and his Sons, who with Clubs and Guns dispersed the Pack and drove the Wolves back to the Forest. On the following tnorniug the renegade Dogs, _ being cold and hungry, appeared at the Farmer’s House, demanding their Breakfast and a warm Place to sleep, saying: “Good Farmer, we are no longer Wolves, but Dogs, and this being bur Home,, we demand the right to occupy it once more aud receive our daily ration of choice Bones.” In this demand they were se conded by others of the Dogs, who hid secretly wished to join the Wolves, but had been brave enough to do so, cnoosing to remain be hind to suck Eggs on the Sly and secretly help the Wolves do the dirt to iliei Benefactor they might Jie able to aecppiplish withput- pub-- licly revealiug their own Cussed? ness. But the good Farmer, taking down his trusty Shotgun, said to the Dogs who had deserted him: Begone, hounds. I have some respect for a regular Wolf, but not for an Animal who wants to be a a Dog when it serves his purpose and a Wolf when he thinks there is inore Meat in it • As for you Dogs who come here to intercede for your Friends who joined the Wolves in trying to rob my Hen roost, the next time I catch you suching Eggs, there is going to be Something Do ing.”—National Republican. The Poor Brick Layer. If We have a few bricks to be laid we find uurserves in a difficult posi iion - Firstwe must find a brick I iver with sufficient unengaged time to consider our little job/ Then we must placate him with wiles and ,miifis for having ventured to ask him to cpnsiner so insignificant a piece of work. Then we must con sent, to all the rules and regulations and requirements of his soecial fra ternity, secret ^ind otherwise, Then w: must wait upon his convenience and pleasure. when at last he arrives we imme- Iiately assume him of. our gratitude Iait he forthwith depart in high dud- gebn (whatever; that is) and leave our biicks unlaid. When he has laid a few, say 500 or so on an aver age, • he: wipes'the sweat from-his brow and calls it a day. When the tittle j >6 is finished we must mort gage the old. homestead and the family flivver and bestow the pro ceeds uiion him graciously. Yet a man in England has laid 809 brick in. an hour. A union official says the man is crazv and aught to be made to eat his bricks Which shows that- the union officials.-is not crazy about having the spotlight turned on the speVd records af his craftsmen.

Something unusual startling, real live news, happeuded in Ca tawba county a few days ago;- and Strange to say this astonishing thing, if not the first of the kind in North Carolina then the near first, has received small attention in the newspapers. No; nobody was killed. That would have been an ordinary occurrence in any county in the state The. amazing thing that was-staged in Catawba places two citizens of that county ill the fi st rank as public curiousi- ties. Their names are R. G. Sig mon aud and Lloyd Rink. Remem ber the names. These men stand out conspicuous as having done something almost if not entirely un precedented. They . actually de clined to serve in offices to which they were elected on November 4. Can you believe it? It’s so. The Newton and Hickory papers say it is, and their testimony is not to be questioned. Mr. Rink was elected county treasurer. He decided he didn’t want the office and the county com missioners elected another to fill the place. One reason assigned for the Rink declination is that he didn’t care to surrender a job lie had—engineering. That is under standable, although unusual. Some times a mau elected to' office will retain some business sence and see ing that he can make more in pri vate business, will pass up the pub lic place. But it is not. uncommon for oiie to take a public job at less than he can make in private busi ness. There is sometljing-about an bfBce.that.apppeals to the.- imagi nation; something that causes the applicant to lose his business sense, if he has anv. The case of the other man, Sig mon, who was elected register of deeds, a desirable job by the way, is much more mysterious.. Sigmon took the oath of office and after a- bout one day’s experience thiew up the joo and the commissioners had to fill the vacancy. - There is Ito official explanation as to reasons for the resignation, but the Hick ory Record hears that Sigmon “did not feel capable of filling the job.” Aud that is more amazing still. In competent public officials are plen tiful. They can be found all about. But that one should iidtnit that he did not feel equal to the job and throw it up—that is unprecedented, astounding. That marks Mr. Sig mon as unusual—very '111.1 usual. Not because of the alleged iucom- petency. One would • be disposed to doubt that lie is ..really that. Probably he simply lacked self-as surance. But if he felt that he was his reason for surrendering it, then Mr. Sigmon has attained a distinc tion he could have never have at tained if he had served as register all his -life. His candor does him a credit that will stand out in Cataw ba’s history, if not in the history of the state. These two Catawba citizens. Re publicans by the way, have set- an example that gives them distiction, but one that will not be popular. It is everlasting to-the credit of the treasurer-elect that he didn’t try to hold the public service, a com mon practice among officeholders, big and little; or that-he didn t try to-farm -out the job. He might have worked it that way • and got . That- is so commoii that it seems to be accepted. . The register, if he-had. kept his nerve, could 110 doubt have secured tbnipeteiit as sistance that would!„have carried him 6ver. But- as he; didn’ t., feel equal; toVhe task lie got but of the way: for another.

' ? - (•) The building must be com pleted within eight months from tl.e iate when the application for Rosen- •vald aid is approved. The Rosenwald program has bene- fitted the whole South. The white as well as colored schools have been greatly siimulated by it. .Mr. Rosen wald has set higher standards for both races. It is simple justice to say that in North Carolina boards of education are interested as never before in an aggressive campaign for better i-ducation|for the negroes It is doubtful if anv group uf people anywhere in the world has had more constructive cooperation in regard to schools Ihau have the Southern negroes d u ring the last ten years. As a Southern wotran,.! am proud that North Carolina has ueciared he poli cy in this matter and she will not retreat. Wuh N’-. C. Newboid as Directorof the., Negro Division of Public fnstrucdion, with W. F. Credle as State Supervisor of the Rosenwald Fund,; and with-G. E, Davis as Supervisor of Rosenwald Buildings, there is every reason-for real optimism. - These men “know and know that they know_” Local ooards like to cooperate with such •leaders. A little learning is a. dangerous thing, but real education always makes tine-valuable to society. No republic can remain great unless it strives to inake'its people intelligent. Inademocracy theoneright policy is to raise the standard of the whole population. Tbe more backward a group, the more Is the obligation. of the state to see to it that this Rroup is brought up.to the standard. The wisest Southern men'are agreed that ■ he-negro child must have the same chance for public instruction that white children; have. To attempt less than this .is to delay the progress of The whole-South -.This was the doctrine of Chan-Ies D' McIrer and Charles B. Ajrcoek. . LETrER iTO-MR. STEWART ^ , Charlotte.-hi: C . . - ■ ■ Dec. 6th 1924 My dear Mp; SU1W art:-1 was over today to insoqet the beautiful build ing voiir board1 has built ' for your colored citizejis. : 5 -- V It is a spendtd structure-r-one that any town or group should be proud of. I saw. nothing to critisize; I saw much, to approve., I think no $1-500 of the Rosenwald money has i eea B^ent to better advantage. In behalf of my own people in North Carolina I want to ,thank you per sonally and.every other member of the board for your interest in see ing that we should Iiaye such an ex cellent building I am by no means forgetting the fine spirit-other white friends have shown bringing into reality by' their contributions the visioh corieeived so-long ago. , ; With sincere regards, lam , ■ .Verytriilyyoiirs. G E DAVIS. Sup -rvisor of Rorenwatd Buildings in N C ,The white citizens who heard Dr. Davis speak .at the court house on Sunday October 25th know that he is the right man in the Tight place. Modest, thoroughly educated/ he is a credit to his race and an /example to any race. BERTHA MARVIN LEE. Get Out Boys.

Economy The Stuff. “The government can do more to -iemedy the economic ills.of the peo p’e by a system of rigid economy in public expenditures than can be ac-. complished throuuh any other ac tion,” says President Coolidge in his message to Congress. Sound rea sonable. too 1 If the burdens of gov ernment are reduci-d to the miin- mum the people can take care in large miasure of their own troubles. Thechiefdiflicultto be enconterid as in determining, what is economi. Public expenditure shoidd be re duced. But just where the paring should begin will be the main pro blem. We are spending much money for many things that are little if any. benefit; on others we are spending too much. Bul every object will have its friends and supporters; and few there be who will have their pet projects sacrific'-d without a strug gle As government appropriations • are usually a matter of compromise, One group supporting an appropria tion' for one-object on agreement that the favor shall be returned, the difficulty in putting on a program of sensible economy is greate’r than it appears. As a result there should be economy. But a begging must be made, the President is evidently in earnest about it, and all good' ' citizens will earnestly hope for the. best results —Statesville Daily.

But there were those who placed no J 1,! ill Ilie obvious.

Shorty, was sought by Kiumet Sawyer and his disappearance KUS like that of a pricked bubble; it SrtUiod that Shorty had no actual JlI1VSicaI existence or that, if he had. iVliiid taken it into some other corner ,![ tiie world. Quinnion’s friends had niw cone from Rocky Fend, like Quin- uion'leaving behind them no sign to Show where they had gone. Knowing Quinnion as he did, and Jmving Ids own conception of the ebarncter of Ba.vne Trevors, Bud Lee sajj to himself Iliat too great a quiet JlOitended strife to come. If Quinnion was the inuti to carry in his breast the lmto that drove him to the murder of Judith's father, then lie was the man to remember' the humiliation he had sufiereil at Lee’s hands, to remember Md to strike back when the time was ripe. Judith had heard of the night in Kooky Bend, a lurid and wonderfully distorted account from Mrs. Simpaqp, itlio had received it in a letter from Iier daughter. "Se that was what Bud Lee did after he kissed me I" mused Judith. She sent immediately for Carson and forced from him the full story. Dismissing Carson, she remained for a long while alone. Only one re mark had she made to the cattle fore man, and that a little aside from the issue occupying his mind: "Keep your weather eye open for what’s In the wind,” she told him briefly. "Behind Quinnion is Tfevors 1 nnd the year isn’t over yet." The ranch was stocked to its ut- iriost capacity. Carson had bought another herd of cattle; Lee had added to his string of horses. The dry sea son was on them, herds were moved higher lip the slopes into the fresh pastures. Carson, converted now to the silos, was a man with one idea and that idea ensilage. Again the al falfa acreage was extended, so that inch head of cattle might have its daily auxiliary fodder. Carson now agreed with Judith In the matter of ludding hack sales for the high prices which would come at the heels of tlie: lean months. ’ The rmn Donley, who had brought to the ranch the pigeons carrying cholera, was tried in Rocky Bend. The evidence. I hough circumstantial, was strong against him, and the prosecution was pushed hard. But it was little surprise to any one at the ranch when the trial resulted in a hung jury. The ablest lawyer in the county had de fended Donley, and finally, late in Au- Sust, secured his acquittal. The man himself did not have ten dollars in the world; the attorney taking his case was a liigh-prlced lawyer.. Ob- viously, to Judith Sanford at least. Hayne Trevors was standing back of c'ery play his hirelings made. Doc Tripp had the hog cholera in tood. ‘ And every day, out wjth the Hve sfoci; whose well-being was' his risIwa-Ibility, Ile worked as he had •'ever worked before, watchful, eager, suspicious. If they'll drop cliolern down on us Mt of the blue sky,” he snapped. “I’d - (0 know what they won’t try.", * * * * * * * . Ior the first few days following the once ISud Lee hud within his soul rooni Iiut for one emotion: he hhd •eld Judith in his arms. He had set 1J- Hps on hers. He went hot and cmN "'tO the remembrance. Being a “o. he made his man-suppositions of •<-' emotions that rankled In her cast. Ue imagined her contempt of Man who by his strength had forced r lips to wed his; he pictured her Mn, her growing hatred. He told raMlf that he should go, rid the Hik °f 1118 Presence, take his de- Mhure without a word with her. For, Mdy, he had fitted her into his lierm '>f t,le Perfect woman, lifting Im above himself and above the Hih f" worl(i- It was a.continued In- f°r him to remain- here.. ■ iunmh after rereful thought,- he re- told U d w,mt Jn»Uth had already who he was one of . the men fur h Sll° C0Mld trust t° do! her work Cr, one of the men she.most need- Iy Ir uUn "dlom Slie wouId need sore- auiv i 'ne Trevors were lying quiet It |aa'lt f° strike’ harder, unexpected- IirsMllll dld ?ot dismiss him, as fit lie st'"-1"? 1^en spre she iWould. . So tlie °!ed oaI remaining a way'from reScb headquarters, sleeping when he could In the cabin above the lake, spending his days with his horses, avoiding her but keeping her person ality in his soul, her interests In his heart. When the winter had passed when She liad made her sales and had the money In hand for the payments upon the mortgages, then lie would go. Whereat, no doubt, the high gods smiled. As time passed, there came about a subtle change in the attitude of the outfit toward Pollock Hampton, whom they bad been at the Iieginning prone to accept as a “city guy.” It began to appear that under his lightness there was often a steady purpose; that if he didn’t know everything about a ranch, lie was learning fast; that in his outspoken admiration of tilings rough and manly nnd primal there were certain lasting qualities. Whereas formerly his being thrown from a spirited mount was almost a daily occurrence, now he rode rather well. With tanned face and ligrd hands, he was, as Carson put it, “grow ing up.’’ He' came to Judith one day serious- fueed, tlioughtful-eyed. “Look here, Judith,” he began ab ruptly, 'T m no outsider just looking on at this game. You’re the chief owner and the boss and I’m not kick ing at that any longer. Your dad raised you to this sort of thing and you have a way of getting by with it. But; on the other hand. I’m part own er and you’ve got to’ consider me.” Judltli smiled at him. “What- now. Pollock?" she asked. “You’re the boss," he repeated stoutly. “But I’ve got a right to be next in authority. Under you, you know. Why, by crlpeS, I go around feeling as If I had to take orders from Carson or Tripp or any other of the foremen!" “ ‘By cripes’ is good!” laughed Judith. “Go ahead.” “That’s all,” he insisted. “You can tell them, when you get a chance, that I am your little old right-hand man. Suppose," he suggested vaguely, “that you left the ranch a day or so. Or even longer, some time. There’s got to be some one here who Is the head when there Is need for it." Judith mirthfully acquiesced. Hamp ton's Interest was sufficiently heavy for him to be entitled to some con sideration. Besides, she had come to experience a , liking for the boy and had seen In him the change for the better which his new life was work ing In him. Further, she meant to make it her business that she did not leave the ranch* for a day or so, or an ’ hour or so, when she- should be there. Consequently, within a week Pollock Hampton- was known humor ously from one end to, the other of the big ranch as the Foreman-at- Lurge. Marcia Lnngworthy, visiting In southern California, wrote brief, sun ny notes to Hampton, intricate let ters to Judith. The mystery of Bud Lee of which she had had a glimpse when the artist, Dick Farris, and Lee recognized each other as old friends had piqued her curiosity in a way which allowed that young daughter of Eve no rest until she had made Iier own investigations. She wrote at length of Lee. How he had been quite tlie rage, my dear. Oh, tremendous ly rich, with a great ranch in the South, a wonderful adobe hacienda of the old Spanish days, where, like a voung king, he had entertained lav ishly. How, believing In his friends, he had lost everything, then had dropped out of the world, content equally to allow that world to believe him Soldiering in France or dead In the trenches and to take his wage as a common laborer. Wasn’t It too ro mantic for anything? In due course, following up her let ters, Marcia herself came back to the Blue Lake ranch, Judith’s guest now. The major and Mrs. Langworthy were visiting in the East-It seemed that they always visited somewherc—and Marcia would stay, at the ranch in definitely. Hampton drove into Rocky Bend for her and held the girl’s breathless admiration all the way home, handling, the reins of his young team in a thoroughly reckless, shivery manner.“Isn’t he splendid?" cried Marcia when she slipped away with Judith to her room..Under the bright approval of Mar cia’s eyes Hnmpton flushed with pleas ure. Could Mrs. Langworthy have seen them together she would have nudged the major and whispered In his ear.DurIns ,the two. months after the dance. Bud Lee and judlt^h hfldJJ * 8 virtually nothing of each other. When routine duties or a necessary report brought them for a few minutes into each other’s society .there marked constraint upon them. Never had' the mah lost the stinging sense nf h offense against tier ; never had Judith condescended to be anYjjjlj**' buti cool'and brief with -him. While no "open reference was made Ki. what was nast Still the memory ofltnm st he lnPeach heart, andtbougl, ,Lee heM Ills eves level with hers and . drank deep of the warjn loveliness of her, • e told himself a i^ ' ^vaIryneath her contempt. -tne AiTthhB him. so great and essential a part of the man’s nature, . was a wounded tiling, hurt by bis own act. The old feeling of camaraderie which Iiad sprung up between them at times was gone now; they could no longer be “pardners" as they had been that night in the old cabin. He told himself curtly that lie did not regret that; that now it was in evitable that they should be less than strangers since they could not be more than friends. That tlie girl was ready to forgive him, that she had never been as harsh with Iiim as he w*s himself, that there was a golden, de licious possibility that she should feel as lie did—so mad an idea Iiad not come to Bud Lee, horse foreman. A few days after Marcia’s arrival there came to the ranch a letter which was addressed: “Pollock Hampton, Bsq., “Geneal Manager, “Blue Lake Ranch." It was from Doan, Rockwell & Haight, big stock buyers of Sacramen to, submitting an unsolicited order for a surprisingly large shipment of cattle and horses. The price offered, was ridiculously low, even for this season of low figures due to the fact that many overstocked ranches were throwing their beef-eattle and range horses on the market. So low, in fact, that Judith’s first surmise when Hampton brought it to her wqs that tiie typist taking the company's dic tation had made an error. Judith tossed the note into the waste-basket. Then she retrieved it to frown at it wonderlngjy, and, final ly, to (He it. It began by having for her.no significance worthy of specula tion. It soon began to puzzle her.. Finally, it faintly disturbed her. Here were two points of interest. First; Doan, Rockwell & Haight was tlie company to which Bayne Trevors, when general manager, had made many a sacrifice sale. Because the Blue Lake had knocked down to them before, did they still count con fidently upon continued mismanage- J Hampton Came Galloping, Seeking Carson. m eat? Surely they must know that the management of the ranch had changed. And tills brought her to tlie second point: How did it come about that they had addressed, not her, but Pollock Hampton? Was tills Just a trifle? j Long ago Judith had told herself tiiat she must keep her two eyes wide open for seeming trifles. In spite of her, though she scoffed at her “nerves," tlie girl had the uneasy conviction that this offer had been prompted by Trevors; that Trevors, for purposes of his own, had given instructions that the letter be a&dressed to Hampton; that this was the first sign of a fresh campaign directed against her from the dark; that trouble was again be ginning. Thoughtfully she smoothed out the letter, impaling it on her file. Pollock Hampton, Foreman-at-Large, came and went on . the ranch, carry ing orders, taking always a keen In terest in whatever work fell to hand, an interest of a fresh kind, in that .it was born of a growing understanding. The men grew to like him; Bud Lee tactfully sought to acquaint him .with many ranch matters which Would prove of value to him. Carson, how ever, grown nervous over the new method In stock-raising still’inTts ex perimental’ stage! was'given tor take any suggestion from Hampton in the light of a personal affront.. “D—n him," he. growled deep In his ’ throat when Hampton had ridden out with word to shift one of’the'herds •Into a fresh pasture, an-act on which Carson had already decided, ‘.’some day I'll- just take. him between my thum'an’‘finger an’ anni-hllate him.” The greater bulk of the stock ,had been, steadily shifted .higher In the hills.. The hogs, grazed on .the slopes At.the north, of the.Lower',.End; .cat tle and horses had been pushed, .east-, ward to the little valleys in the moun tains about the lake. Even the pla teau, where the old cabin stood, was now stocked with Lee’s prize string of horses. Then one day Hampton came galloping through the herds of shorthorns, seeking Carson. "Crowd them down to the Lower End again,” he shouted above the din. “Cut out the scrawny pnes and haze the rest into the pens.” Carson’s steel-blue eyes snapped, ills teeth showed like a dog’s. “Drunk?” he sneered. "What's eat ing you?” “Do as you’re told,” retorted Hamp ton hotly. “Those are orders from lieadquarters and it’s up to you to obey them. Get me?” “If ever I do get you, sonny,” grunt ed Carson, “there won’t be enough of you left for the dawgs to quarrel over. Orders or no orders, I ain’t going to do no sucii fool thing.” Hampton reined his horse In closer, staring frownlngly at the old cattle man. Tlie purplish color of rage mounted in Carson’s tanned cheeks. “You'il do what you’re told or go get your time,” he announced teisely. “We've got an order for five hundred beef cows and we’re selling imme diately," Carson’s jaw dropped. “What?” he demanded, not quite believing his ears. “Say that again, will- you?” “I said it once,” retorted Hampton. “Now get busy.” “Who are we selling to? I ain't heard about it.” “An oversight, my dear Mr. Carson,” laughed .Hampton, his own anger risen. “Quite an oversight that you were not consulted. We ;.are selling to Doan, Rockwell & Haight. Ever heard of them ?’’ “Who says we're selling?" “I say so. And, if you’ve got to have all the news, Miss Sanford says so.” “She does, does she? Hm-m. First I knew of it. What figger?” “Really, does that concern you? Ii the price suits me and Miss Sanford, who own the stock, does it in any way affect you? I don’t Wafit to quarrel with you, Carson, and I do appreciate that you are a good man In your way. But just because you have worked here a long time, don’t make the mis take of thinking that you own the ■ranch.” IVitli that he whirled his horse, and was gone. Carson, with puckered brows, stared after him. But orders were orders, and Carson though the heart was sOre, barked out his commands to his . herders to turn the cattle back toward the lower fields. He had been converted to the new way, he had grown to dream of the fat prices his cow brutes would fetch In. the winter market, he knew that prices now were rock-bottom low, that Doan, Rockwell & Haight were close buyers who before now had cut the throat of the Blue Lake ranch In sacrifice sales when Bayne Trevors ran the outfit. “IVe're standing to lose thousan’s an’ thousan’s of dollars," he told him self In disgust. “All we’ve spent on irrigation an' fences an’ silos an’ ditches, all gone to heck in a lian’- basket. Not counting thousan’s of more dollars lost In selling at what we can get this time of year. Tt makes me sick, d—n throwin’-up sick.” Riding down a long, winding trail, out through a patch of chaparral into a rocky gorge, Hampton turned east again toward the high plateau. Tak ing the roundabout way which led from the far side of the lake and along the flank of the mountain to the table-Iand, he came to a scattering band of horses and Tommy Burkltt. "Where’s Lee?” called Hampton. Burkitt grinned at him by way of greeting, and then pointed across the plateau to a ravine leading to a still higher, smaller, shut-in valley. Hamp ton galloped on and a quarter of an hour later came up with Lee. The horse foreman was sitting still In his saddle, his eyes tdking stock of a fresh bit of pasture into which he planned turning his horses a little later. It was one of .a dozen small meadows on the mountain creeks where the canyon walls widened out into an oval shaped valley, less than a half-mile long, where there was much rich grass. “Hello, Hampton,” called Lee pleas antly. "What’s the word?” ^ The perspiration streaming down Hampton’s face had in no way damp ened his ardor. “Big doings,” He cried warmly. “We’re cutting loose, Bud, at last and piling up the shining ducats! You’re to gather up. a hundred of the most likely cayuses you’ve got and shove them down to the Lower -End. We’re selling pretty, heavily to Doan, Rock well & Haight.” . A hew flicker came into Lee’s eyes. Then they went hard as polished agate. . ’ “I didn’t qn'te get you, Hampton,” he said softly... “You say we’re selling a hundred horses? Now?” Hhmpton . nodded,, understanding nothing .of what lay. Tn Lee’s heart. ,.“On.the jump, just as fast as we can get.tbem on the run,” he said tri- • umphantly.’ "Juditli .wanted, me,,to tell you.” "I see,” answered Lee slowly. His eyes left Hampton’s flashed face and .went to the distant cliffs. It waa. no way of Bud Lee’s to hide his eyes from a man, and yet now he did bide them. He did not want Hampton to see what they showed so plainly, In spite of his attempt to master his emotion. He was hurt. Long ago he offended Judith, and she had wait ed until now to repay his rude insult with’ this cool little slap in the face. She had not consulted him, she had not mentioned a sale to him, and now she sent Hampton and did not even come to him with a word of explana tion. It was quite as if she had said; “You are just a ■ servant of mine, like the rest, Bud Lee, and I treat you accordingly.” Until Juditli had come, there had been nothing that this man loved as he did his work among his horses. He watched them as day after day they grew Into dean-blooded perfection; he appraised their values; he saw per sonally to their- education, helping each one of them Individually to be come the true representative of the proudest species of animal life. Had he turned his eye now to the herd down yonder he could have seen the animal he had selected for a brood-mare next year, the three-year- old destined to draw all eyes as he stepped daintily among the best of the single-footers in Golden Gate Park, the riejt red bay gelding that he would mate for a splendid carriage team. . . . Oh, he knew them all like human friends, planned the fu ture for each, the sale of each would be no sorrow but rather a triumph of success. And now, to see' them lumped and sold to Doan, Rockwell & Haight—even that hurt. But most of all did Judith’s treatment of him cut, cut deep. "You’re a fool, Bud Lee,” he told himself softly. “Oh, G—d. what a fool!” “The buyers will be here the first thing tomorrow,” said Hampton. "Ju dith says we’re to have everything ready for them.’ “I’ll not keep her waiting,” an swered Lee quietly. And with a quick touch of the spur he whirled his horse and left Hampton abruptly, going straight to the plateau.’ “Round ’em up, Tommy,” -he said sharply. “Every d—n hoof of them. They go back to the corrals.” Though quick questions surged up In Tommy’s 'brain, npne of them was asked just yet, -for he had seen the look on Lee’s face. It was early In the afternoon when Hampton carried his messages to Car son and Lee. It was after dark when Lee, his work done, his heart still sore and heavy, came Into the men’s bunkhouse. It was very still, though close to a dozen men were In the room. Lee’s eyes found Carson and he guessed the reason for the silence. Carson was in a towering rage that flamed red-hot in his eyes;.under the spell of his dominating emotion, the men sat and stared at him. “Well, what’s wrong?” asked Lee coolly from the door. “Good goddlemighty!” growled Car son snappishly. “You stan’ there an’ ask what’s the matter. If they’s any thing that ain’t the matter an’ you’ll spell its name to me TH put In with you." The whole outfit’s going to pot, an’ I, for one, don’t care how soon It goes.” “Rather, a nice way for a cattle foreman to talk about his ranch, isn’t it?” asked Lee colorlessly. "Cattle foreman?” sniffed CarsOn with further expletives. “Now, will you stan’ on your two feet an’ explain to me how in blue blazes a man can Se a cattle foreman when there ain’t no cattle!” "So that’s it, is it? I didn’t know how close you were selling off—” "Don’t say me selling! Why, I go! silage to run my cow brutes all win ter, what with the dry feed In then canyons—” Lee didn’t hoar the rest. It hai. been his intention to come In anf smoke with the Boys, and perhapt play a game of whist. Anything tr keep from thinking. But now, moving- on impulse, he turned and left the shack, going swiftly'up the knoll xn the ranch-house. Just stepping into the eourtyart soft under the moon, tinkling with the play of the fountains, stirred his heart to quicker beating. He had not set foot here for over two months, not since that night which he kiew he should forget and yet to whites mem ory he clung desperately. ThJS waft the first time In many a long W»e^ that he had gone out of his way it seek Judith. And now words which Judith lierself had spoken to him on* day were now at least a part of thr cause sending him to speak with her She had said that be was loyal, that she needed loyal men. He still toot her wage, he was still a -Blue Lake ranch-hand, he still owed her his loy alty, though it came from a son* heart. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

E III SHOIlS BimE FINAL VOTE IN THE SENATE IS LIKELY SOON AFTER HOLI DAYS. ■Washington.—The senate made sue. progress on the Underwood Muscle Shoals bill that a final vote appeared likely soon after the Christmas recess. A number of amendments which hitherto proved troublesome were disposed of and, although there was no announced agreement on a time for a final roll call, the day’s develop ments appeared to be accepted by both sides as promising an early set tlement of'the issue. After two days of debate, the senate accepted, 41 to 29, the amendment by Senator Walsh, democrat. Montana, providing for government regulation of power distributed interstate. The Walsh amendment served to put the senate on record as being opposed to state regulation of a government cor poration As drawn, the bill provides for state regulation of power produced at Muscle Shoals by either a lesseee or government corporation. The amendment requires federal regula tion of power produced by the lessee. In event the states are unable to agree on terms and leaves regulation of pow er distributed under government oper- ation to the federal corporation oper ating the property. Sixteen republicans, 24 democrats and one farmer-labor voted for the amendment, while 19 republicans, 10 democrats voted against it. Senator Underwood made no serious objec tions to the amendment but consider ed it unnecessary. Senator Under wood accepted a number of other amendments, which the senate adopt ed with a record vote. Among these was one by Senator George, democrat, Georgia, which requires the distribu tion of all power not needed for the manufacture of fertilizer. Two Lose Lives When One Loses Job.

White House Holds State Function. - Washington.—The cabinet dinner, first of the state functions of the White House social season, was given by President and Mrs. Coolidge. The cabinet members, their wives and other guests, were served food cooked by the White House chef and his assistants instead of a caterer brought in from the outside for the occasion. Expensive caterers have been re tained by previous White House occu pants for the four state dinners of the social season but President and Mrs. Coolidge have abandoned the practice. No reasons for the change were forthcoming from the White House, but there were intimations that it was a part of the president’s economy program. Funds for the state dinners are provided in the president’s travel and entertainment allowance, of which the unexpended balance is returned annually to the treasury. Creates Oil Board. Washington,—An oil conservation board, consisting of the secretaries of war, navy, interior and commerce, was created by President Coolidge.

Chicago.—By far the greatest number of hogs ever received in Chicago in a single day arrived Monday. 122,000 head. This, with 8,000 hogs left over from Saturday unsold, made the total on the mar ket equal to a normal three-days’ supply for the pasking houses here. Space to yard the hogs that were being unloaded was lacking and the alleys as well as the pens were crowded almost to the point of suf focation. An immediate drop of 25 cents a hundred-weight in the price of hogs resulted. Extreme scarcity and high prices of corn was assigned for the influx. FIIIIM CROPS OF E MLOE TOTAL WORTH PLACED AT NJNE AND HALF BILLION; CORN LEADS LIST. Washington.—This year's harvest of important farm crops, the highest priced In five years though not the greatest in volume of products, was valued at $9,479,902,000 by the depart ment of agriculture. Better prices than last year placed the value $753,013,000 ^ higher than last year, when the total, as revised, was $8,726,889,000 and $1,663,882,000 higher than in 1922 when they aggre gated $7,816,020,000. The combined acreage of the prin cipal crops was smaller this year than last, there having been a total of 355,- 210,400 acres as compared with 355,- 495,730 In 1923. Both the spring and winter wheat crops were extremely satisfactory ,but corn had an unfavor able season. Cotton, planted late, was affected by drought to some extent but a fair crop was produced. A large crop of potatoes on a smaller acreage than in recent years resulted from un usually favorable weather. Corn maintained its rank as king of crops, and although production was 600.000.000 bushels less than last year, its value was $188,000,000 more than the 1923 crop. The total value of corn waB placed at $2,405,468,000. Cotton ranked second with a total value of $1,- 683.274.000, of which $1,487,225,000 was the value of lint and $196,049,000 the value of seed. Hay, with a total value for tame and wild of $1,467,- 648,000 was third crop In point of in come. Wheat ranked fourth with a total value for spring and winter of $1,136,596,000. New York Fears Chicken Plague. New York.—Fear of the "chicken plague” prevalent in certain mid-west ern states has so intimidated the housewives of New York that all rail roads serving this city set up a solid embargo against shipments of live tukeys, chickens, ducks and geese. . The railroads acted after a host of inspectors representing federal, state and civic agencies of health had re jected many cars of poultry. Com mission merchants and. carriers took steps to have express companies establish an embargo on fowl as rigid as that declared by the railroads. “There will be no live fowl of any kind on the market In New York city during the holidays,” said the head of the Live Stock Merchants association. (‘There is no prospect that the fears of housewives can be allayed, and order restored in time for the Christ mas and new year’s trade.” Two Perish V^hen Dormitory Burns.

Washington.—Capture by Virginia of the- first ■‘Found in the fight for the proposed eastern .National park ap parently may not decide the contest. There were growing indications that North Carolina and Tennessee might unite in an effort to ^defeat the Old Dominion in the final show down. Although the independent commis sion chosen to select the most suitable site for the proposed park recom mended that it be located -in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, the next decision on the matter will be up to the house public lands committee to which the commission's report has been referred. Besides this report, the committee also will have up for consideration four bills, each proposing a different location, one of which was introduced by Representative Doughton, demo crat, North Carolina. The three other measures are sponsored -by Represen tatives Bulwinkle and Weaver, and Reece, republican, Tennessee. It is the opinion of Mr. Reece and Mr. Doughton that, if but one park is to -be created at the present time, the North Carolina and Tennessee delegations In the house will agree on a site, part in one state and part in the other, ' and present their united claim in opposition to that of Virgin ia’s. Both representatives, howfever, agree they would not contest the Old Dominion’s site, should two parks be recommended by the committee. - SHOOTS TO KILL IN CROWDED ROOM.

SECRETARY WILBUR DISCLAIMS IDEA OF “MUZZLING” OFFICERS. Washington.—Secretary Wilbur an nounced that he had ordered a naval court of inquiry to be convened at the New York Navy Yard to investigate the unauthorized publication of infor mation regarding naval matters which might be of value to a possible enemy country. The secretary said the inquiry would deal specificially' with the question ol how a communication' which passed between Captain Custerhaus at the naval war college, Newport, R. I., and Captain Barry in charge of naval re cruiting, New York city, came to find its way into a number of papers re cently. The secretary further explained that in the publication of this communica tion names of the writer and the ad dresses and certain other identifying sections had been deleted. He added that the navy department was not contemplating any general order muz zling navy officers in the free expres sion'of their opinions; but that it was determined to prevent the giving out by navy officers of information which would be of military value to any oth er nation. On the report of the board of inquiry the secretary will determine whether the facts developed warrant the or dering of a court martial for any of ficer. The board of inquiry will be under the presidency of Captain O. P. Jack son, commanding the training station at Newport Tke other members will be Captains A. M. Proctor and G. L.

Boll Wenvils Go Into Hibernation. New Orleans, La.—That there was a prolific development of boll weevils during the fall months to go into hiber nation for next year’s attack on the cotton crop is shown conclusively by reports to the National Boll Weevil Control association. Replies received to a questionnaire sent out to about 1,200 banks ,chambers of commerce, county agents and local commfttees co-operationg with the National Boll Weevil Control association show that in about 55 per cent of the re gions of heavy infestation in 1923 there Wasy a heavy development of weevil during the month of October and the early part of November. Many farmers report the largest number of weevils ever observed in the Whole history of the pest. The probability is that there was a heavy development in more regions than those reported because at the time the questionnaire was sent out all danger of injury to the cotton crop was past for the simple reason that the squares then forming would not mature and farmers were not much in terested and hence did not make very careful observations. In a few instan ces repOrting no’development the asso ciation made further inquiries and found that there was on closer exami nation weevil development. * Agitation on to Stop Tree 'Cutting.

Washington.—While President Cool- 'idge continued his efforts to prevent the overriding of his veto of the postal pay increase ,bill by the senate, that body entered into an nnaimous con sent agreement-for a vote on the veto not later than January 6 . Calling a number of republican senate leaders to the White House, the executive again informed them of his desire that the veto be sustained, be cause any other action in advance of the enactment of a revenue measure to take care of the pay raise would interefere with the economy policy of his administration and continue what he regards as a harmful practice of leaving to the future the matter of providing for present authorized ex penditures. After these leaders hod visited the White House, renewed efforts were made to get a unanimous consent agree ment for senate action. Immediately after the agreement had been enter ed, the administration measure in creasing postal rates on all except letter mail was referred to the post office committee with a view to hear ings and action during the Christmas holidays. Some administration leaders are of the opinion that there will be a suffi cient number of senators in accord with the PtdMdent’s,' program to sus tain his veto. For this 33 votes would be necessary to accomplish this result> provided all senators were present and voting. w o lv e s Whipped B Y z o c ^ k z e p e p Conquers Beasts Wiftt » Hands in Atlanta Par* Atlanta, Ga--The Storvofn, ate battle with two mad Wolvffper' revealed when J.

Washington.—Immediat * appropria tion of $3,501,200 to continue.work on dam No. 2 at Muscle Shoals, Ala., is required, Secretary Weeks advised Congress, if.construction there is not to be interrupted.

I Production of EggsIs v Where Most Profit Made Probably tlie greatest hindrance to I tbe profitable keeping of poultry onI Ac ordinal y farm is the retention of Iilnt of fowl that are poor layers, !lie cillier to tlieir being too old or Itfaivpe to produce meat rather than lfggs, Tlie iirodnction of eggs is the Ifidof Ilie poultry business In which Iihs most protit can be made, so that I I heavy egg producing type is best I miicil to ordinary farm conditions. Gencraliy speaking, the puilet year Ii! the most profitable period of a 111115 life. It is advisable, therefore, Itillier to marl: the chicks when I Intelied, using a different mark for Iticli year, or to band the pullets when I Hry arc put into winter quarters, so Ittat at '.'tilling time the age of the I dlfferenl Iitrds can be seen at a I glance and only these that are required I for Iireeding purposes retained after I first year’s production. The iiap ncst is the most reliable I Btans to use in culling the flock, but I llie ordinary farmer does not use trap- ■ mbs, so tliat reliance must be placed I w physical characteristics.

SPRING STYLES ARE SIGHTED 'T U B overblouse is n special dispen sation of good fortune for adding variety nnd chic to the practical ward robe. ' In a between-seasons period, like the present, it Is a resource for spicing uf) one’s belongings with some thing new. The last word in blouses may be gathered just now, from the collections prepared for wear at Southera resorts, including sports, tailored and dressy types. In the last class belong many pretty models made of printed fabrics In silk, or -lightweight wool, finished. in new ideas in their adornment and styling. For many of them, camel's- liair twill, in plain colors, Is used while dressier models are coming in' plain and printed crepes. The straightline is varied often— the tunic leading other methods, fol lowed by plaits introduced at tlie sides or at tlie front. An attractive frock with'plaited panels at the sides is illustrated here. It has a narrow girdle of the goods nnd bishop sleeves, with an ornamental band of colored embroidery inserted.

In sports and, dressy blouses, favor seems to be about -equally divided be tween the long and short sleeve, but In tailored blouses long-sleeved models nre in the majority. There is great diversity of necklines In all ITiouseg and many chic new arrivals, In the tailored class, have high collars. The One of the Pretty New Arrival*. row wrist bands are prettily finished with ties of ribbon and the odd .neck opening is: finished in the same way. Since tlie slender silhouette is sched uled to remain in our midst for some time, new ways of “personalizing” day ,frocks Iiave been Introduced on spring models. These appear in small, quaint embroideries In single motifs as a- Jap anese fisherman, or- a little ,bulldog, stitched above a small pocket—the watchdog of the treasury—or two or three butterflies near the shoulder. It looks as if our spring frocks might become backgrounds for picture-book illustrations and we may tell the world of our favorite scenery by means of stitching. The little old red school I Frock W ith Plaited F u e ls. surplice front is a graceful survival of the fittest—nothing was ever, more be- c.i,ning—and is Iieing as. enthusiastical ly received as the new jabot front ar rangements that have won fashion's smile of approval.

' Another tip has been brought home by the adventurers who first discover spring -styles. The ensemble costume is here to stqy a while—for. spring coats, to be worn with frocks 'bearing an unmistakable family resemblanc* to them, bear the new arrivals com- rfony. . : ' JULIA BOTTOMLBY. ‘ I®, 192«, Wcalern NeweBucer Union.} When you get a premium with your baking powder you pay for the premium Davis puts all the value in the baking powder B a k e it B E S T w ith H BAKING POWDER ' EV ERYI NGRfDIENT-' OFFlCf AiLi-Vi AppR Q V E D BY; U ;5 .Fo'o d'/aU T HO R111E S Remarks of Br*er Williams Ef you kin send jo’ voice ejear round de Ivorl’; if de airships kin fly ’crost de big sea, an’ ef man kin al most raise de dead, what does you think must be waitin’ on us in de worl’ ter come?

C.—I’rempeb, last king o f the stalwart Ashantis, is re turning to his forest-girt capital, but he goes as a private citizen. He will never again occupy tiie golden stool. Xliese facts,- contained, in news dis patches, are explained In the following bulletin from tlie Washington (D. C.) headquarters of the National Geograph ic society: “The capital of the People Who Eat Corn in the city Under the Oulcutu Trees, which is the translated way of saying tIitit the capital of Ashanti is KuinasL There are many potentates in Ashanti but, until Prempeh was de posed. the, icing o'f Kuinasi was the par amount inonarcli of all the ebon Ashanti frihes. He it was who, In theory • at least, maintained the tra ditional harem of 3,338 wives, drank from the skulls of Iiis would-be con querors, and immolated relatives of distinguished dead in the Spirit house in the grove so that the departed might have an ample entourage in the next world. j Where Plants Struggle to Live. “Ashanti lies north of the Gold coast of Africa, between the Ivory coast and Togoland. The country, now under British control,’ is approximately the size of West Virginia. About half its area comprises one of the thickest, densest, most impenetrable primeval forests in all the world. The iron tree and the bombas, the silk-cotton and the hardwood, bamboos and ferns, and an alm ost infinite variety ot. growths engage in a fierce tight for life. Every plant, from slender tendril to -giant tree, rises erect, seeking a place in the sun, -drawn out to an absurdly dlspro: portionate height In its endeavor Io force its own head above those of its neighbors.’ “The mah&gany, the teak and the ebony, varieties which civilization prizes, here crowd each other for life. Flowers, birds and beasts are excluded from these thicknesses; the plunt life sucks in every iota of sustenance from sun and soil. Parasites abound. Vel vety nioss clihgs to the decaying trees that have met defeat. There being no more room aloft the lianas, or mon key ropes, festoon themselves from tree to tree and form weird arbors for lesser horizontal growths. “The1 white man, even with all the aids of modern medicine, cannot sur vive long In such a habitat; only the most stalwart of the black men can adapt themselves to it. In the Seven - 1 teenth century, or a little earlier, mi grating Moslem tribes to the north drove bands of negroes Into the coun try., .The newcomers took possession of this forest realm; and. in defending It, developed themselves into a vigor ous, clannish people. ■ “Tradition has it. that a famine drove large numbers of tile settlers south, and that these refugees kept alive on herbs, of.-fan/.in the native tongue; while tiiose left behind are corn, or •san.’ The former, who inhabit the Gold coast, to this day, are known as Fanti ,- while those who remained were called Ashanti. Both tribes speak the I same Ianggage but the Ashanti, in their isolation, have developed a physical su periority to their southern neighbors. “In 1807 the Ashantis came into first contact with the British by attempting to invade the realm of the Fnntis. Not until a quarter ot a century later were the northmen driven back from the sea const. Early in the seventies dlflt- eulties arose which caused British forces to undertake the exceedingly arduous task of inarching upon Ku- mnsi. The expedition was successful, and it was not until after the elevation of Prince Prempeh to the golden stool In' I88S—the same Prempeh who now is returning to his former domain— Giat troubles arose again. In Company of Noted Exiles. "Prempoh was enthroned after a Eat Orange a Day, Keep Baldness Away Milwaukee.—An orange a day will keep baldness away. Dr. LeIioy Crummer, professor of medicine at the Un'versity of Nebraska, is authority for the statement, made a( a . meeting here of the Tri-State Jledical association. “Science has found that the absence of yertain acids in the stomach - eventually produces Imldness.'- he declared. “It is also proved that citrus fruits abound in Iiealthrul acids that tend to stimulate sluggish stom achs Eat citrus fruits am! you will never be bald." b o t h CHfiF AND ARTIST 111 / civil war. and he had to consolidate his power; hut, in 1S!)3, he closed the roads of Iiis dominion to traders from the south, So that the British govern ment had to intervene In belmlf of their Gold coast protectorate. This intervention resulted in the surrender of ITempeh. three years later, and his exile, first at Elminu, a Gold coast town, and later upon the Seychelles is lands. There he spent 28 years and liad. for varying periods,, the company of such picturesque exiles as Saatl Zagliloul, of Egypt; the warlike Ka- barega, of Unyoro, and Sayyid.Klmlld. of Zanzibar. “When Prenipeh returns to Kumasl lie will miss the king's palace, a hand some red sandstone building which has disappeared. Gone, too, is the Spirit house, scene of human sacrifices, which used to lie just behind the market place. Instead there is now a railroad, station, terminus of the line from Se- kondi. on the coast, 108 miles away. And he will find his-old political capi tal transformed into a busy distrib uting center for the inland Gold coast colony, of which Aslianti now forms a •part.” It is possible to be a famous chef and an accomplished artist, In one. Joseph N. Jacobson has painted mag azine covers for publications in the United States, France, Sweden and Itussia, and he really doesn’t have to be a chef. But he can't stop because he likes it, he says. For twenty years he has cooked. IIe was Iieail chef in the United Stales senate, served as a cook with Gen. Joseph Kuhn of the Seventy-ninth division In France, and has been chef in prominent New York hotels. Jacobson does irn.-ch of his art work in odd moments while In the kitchen. Saskatchewan Town Debt Threatens It With Rqin Iieginu, Saskatchewan.—The little town of Battleford, whose residents are threatened with a'PossIhle1Ievy of 5 per cent of their total assessment's' to satisfy town debts, has appealed to the Saskatchewan government, to sitye it from financial ruin. The town owes about $71X1,000 to bondholders, of; which approximately $300,000 is over due. A judgment has heen secured against the community by some of the creditors and as a result residents are confronted with a possible levy of <340 mills, or about three-fourths^if the total assessment. E lectrons N ew One Hundred Thousandfold Amplification Used. Ann Arbor, Mich.—Experiments by which scientists have been able to lis ten to the movement of electrons; the smallest particles of-matter, were de scribed here by Dr. A. W. IIutI of the research laboratory- of the General Electric coiiipuny, at-the.annual ,meet ing of. the American Physical society- The vacuum tube amplifier In which the amplification is carried to a hun dred thousandfold, and with which n millionfold can be reached, makes this possjble, Doctor Hull stnted. The sound produced by the electrons Is caused by bombardment of the plate by electrons, released from the 'hot- filament. It is these electrons which carry the current and which make the operation of the tube possible. The noise is therefore a fundamental prop erty of electron emission, a character istic of the electron, according to Doc tor Hull. The experiments have been conducted jointly by Doctor Hull and Dr. H. H. Williams of the University of Michigan at the university. Called Sehrot Effect The noise, due to the electrical oscil lation which is set up by the impacts of the Individual electrons on the plate, is known ■ us the Schrot effect. The energy of each blow is extremely mi nute, but. like rain drops, the ener gies of the ma'ny individual impacts add, and their sum becomes very Breaking Up a Famous Warship I K I large. With1 sufficient amplification. Doctor-Hull stnted. the blows may pro duce a roar Uke that of Niagara. The electron is the unit charge of ,electricity and the determination -of its value is of the utmost importance. The oil 1 drop method, devised by pro fessor Milltkeu in the pliyslcs labora tory of the University of Chicago, gave Science its first accurate measure ments of the charge or the electron. Accurate as the experiments are, how ever, It- is desirable that they be checked by some independent method. 1 Milliken’s method of measuring Ihe charge of an electron is based on the influence of gravity and of electric charges on minute oil "droplets.’’ These droplets are so small that the effect of gravity causes them to fall only a quarter of an inch in ten sec- ouds. In the formation of these small drops with an atomizer, occasionally one becomes charged through friciiojh; for ,example: It may carry an addi tional electron. If, then, the droplet is between two electrically charged plates, it will behave differently Iroci the uncharged particles,1 Doctor Hull stated. Those which are mu charged will fall. The charged particles will be attracted to the positive plate. By the use of the proper voltage between the plates,.these charged'particles can Imhnade to fall more slowly, held sta tionary, or caused to move upward. If two electrons, instead of -one. 'aro held by the droplet, the effect is doubled. Measurements made by tills method give the value of the electronic charge very exactly. In recognition- of the Importance of this work, the Nobel prize in science for last year was awarded to Professor Milliken. Opens Up New Field. Doctors Hull and AYUIlutns have measured the charge of rhe electron In a different way, by means of the Sclirot effect, and Imve opened a field for research which promise.) to add to. tlie knowledge regarding the electron and its prat-erties. It was not such a long ti,.:e ugo that the electron ,was unknown', the speaker declare;! First scientist? had the molecule, itself so small that man's ability ever to see even one of the largest may Kerlously be doubted. Tlien came tjie atom, the minute integ ral part of tlie molecule. For a long time the atom was considered as the ultimate. Particle of mutter, .But each element presents -a- ’different ' atom.'1 Science was not content to rest. Il sought to connect all phenomena and the1 electron was the result: It was discovered that nil matter js composed of electrons, the diflerent substances resulting 1 from the differ ent properties possessed bv the atoms according to the number and arrange ment of the electrons they contain 1 1I. .M. s.

As a result of control measures quietly-inaugurated by the biological survey of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, Center market, in Washington,,lias been made one of the most satisfactory markets from Ihe standpoint of rat-free conditions 1H the country. When the department took over the management of this great, cify market, which covers an area equal to two city blocks, the place was found to he badly Infested by rats, here was not only loss In food prod ucts, but also danger to public health through contamination of foods.\Barium Carbonate Used. So serious was the infestation that some who had noticed conditions hesi tated to purchase their food supplies there. To clear up the situation with out unduly disturbing the public, the biological survey, co-operating witli the lmreati of agricultural economics, be gan work very inconspicuously. Barium carbonate was distributed under care fully controlled conditions and 300 rats were found killed at one time. Traps were also used on a large scale. Ac cumulated rubbish was cleared away, infested hollow walls and other struc tures were replaced by rat-proof con struction, more sanitary and rat-proof booths were built of concrete, and a large incinerator was installed to con sume garbage and rubbish. . Conditions Improved. Special attention was given to rat- proofing food-storage places, including all cold, storage. The interest of the dealers was enlisted In the effort, and many neighboring commission houses, at ■ tlieir request, were assisted and have adopted measures recommended fpr the.protection of the food products -whichthey handle. While the market is : still subject to invasion by rats front surrounding property and through introduction with shipments of food, necessitating careful follow- up work-, conditions have been vastly improved, and the market is a valu able example of what can be accom plished'when pi;bper effort, is made.

A notion long prevalent., among growers of beans was that tlie plant ing of weevily seed was the cause -of a iveevily crop, but investigations by the bureau of entomology. United States Department of Agriculture, In Califor nia, have shown that this lias no ef fect on the infestation of the succeed ing crop. The real cause of the spread of weevils in the new crop has been shown to lie the development of large numbers of the insects in seeds held over from tlie preceding year and held in storage in buildings near the fields of growing beans. A few beans may be the breeding ground for enormous numbers of the pests. In one case it was found that 350,000 of a certain variety of cowpea weevil developed from a bag containing 69 pounds of coivpeas. From this it is evident that the in crease of the weevils may be largely controlled by the simple expedient of destroying those In the stored beans or by disposing of the surplus beans. This weevil'work of the department has been received' by growers with much approval. In one of the most im portant bean-growing sections they have formed a weevil committee, the purpose of which is to spread the new information and to enforce' recommen dations which it is thought will reduce the losses which in recent years have been increasing with the continued cultivation of these leguminous crops. P o in ts t o C o n sid e r in T r e a tm e n t o f A c id S o il There are several factors to be con sidered when choosing the form of lime to use for sour soils: Tbe cost of the calcium is the first point to be considered and'tlien the character of tlie soil, the kind'of crop, the rapidity of action desired1, the fineness of the lime and’the convenience of handling are" of next importance in the order named. Ordinary'' groirnd limestone or calcium carbonate contains'approx imately SOO pounds of calcium per ton, slaked lime or hydrated lime cenenins about 1,081 pounds of calcium, per ton, and quicklime or unslaked Ifme con tains about 1,428 pounds. The cost of a pound of calcium In- each form should be compared when determin ing the relative cost of each-substance. Generally speaking, for most condi tions, ordinary ground' limestone is to be recommended - above-, the other forms. Unslaked lime will1 slowly be come slaked when exposed to- the air and dampness. * ' G re en F e e d E ss e n tia l fo r P o u ltr y in W in te r Successful poultrymen have learned that green feed of some kind is abso lutely essential for winter egg produc tion.

Cabbage, beets or mangels are ail good: and besides .they ure easy to keep, all winter in pit or .cellar. I really like cabbage the best, because it is crisp, quite nutritious and the. liens like it, says a writer In the Indiana Farmers’ Guide. The beets or man gels should be pulled before- any freezing frosts occur; and only a few should be placed before the hens at one time. Alfalfa and clover leaves are used to some extent, but feed of ai more succulent nature is best for- win ter use.

VICKREY General Secretary of the Near East Relief. With the co-operation of civic and religious leaders throughout the United States, the- Near East Relief has inaugurated its campaign for- the second observance of International Golden Rule Sunday on December 7. The aim is to raise funds to provide during the coming year for 100,000 orphan children under American care In Bible Lands. More than five mil lion dollars is the minimum needed. The national Golden Rule commit tee was organized several months ago, under the chairmanship of Cleveland H. Dodge, the well known philanthro pist. ' An executive council is under the chairmanship of John H. Pinley1 formerly Commissioner of Education of New York State and now prom inent as a New York editor. State and county committees are being or- ganized throughout the United' States to insure success of the nation-wide campaign. Setting aside of one day each year in honor of the Golden Rule as a guide to individual, national and in ternational life, is an American idea which has been approved and adopted by twenty-three nations. The day A Golden Rule meal—the regular faro of the orphans in the Near EasL will be observed throughout Europe and in many non-European countries, such as Japan, Korea and Palestine. Four annual holidays—Christmas, New Year, Easter and Armistice Day —have heretofore been celebrated in ternationally. A fifth baa now been added to the list.. The movement was started in America by the Near East Relief as a new, striking and inten sive method of raising funds for the feeding of the children in American orphanages in Bible Lands. On this day—December 7—Ameri cans are asked to eat a dinner of soup, bread and stew, or of corn grits and condensed milk, or of rice, maca roni and cocoa. As they eat this novel meal, they are asked to remem ber that, coarse as it is, it is all that holds body and soul together for the orphaned boys and girls overseas,''to whom the elemental factor of hunger is' each day’s vital problem. People here are reminded that, however poor the fare may seem, they can at least have two bowls of- soup if they like, and two slices of bread. As they finish their second serving, they are asked to remember that the orphan wards of the Near East Relief can have only one serving, tor there Is not enough to allow more. They are asked to remember that these children exist on such a diet 365 days out of each year, and they will not live to become men and women un less more bread and more soup are provided. Tbose who eat the Golden Rule dinner will not lack distinguished . company. Such a meal will be served on Sunday in the homes of kings, prime ministers and presidents. Tbe Golden Rule is a- universal creed. It is a common denominator of all religious and social welfare organizations. It Is a test of our- religion and our sincerity. Golden Rule' Sunday is a day for personal stock-taking, for measuring' our lives by a universally accepted standard of life to ascertain how nearly we have attained to an ideal. It'ls a day of plain living and high thinking. The dinner, however, is not an end In Itself. It is an occasion, In the words of President Coolidge. “for bringing to -the minds of those who are prosperous the charitable require ments of those who are In adversity." Qn Golden Riile Sunday the citizens of all nations-will b’eV’seated figura tively at the same table, partaking literally, of the same food, thinking the same thoughts aod entering- Into a new realization, of the brotherhood of mankind. One Driok Too Maoy. Judge James P. Gorter, of the Washington police court, has de clared that one drink of alcoholic li quor, no matter how small, incapa citates a man from driving an auto mobile with safety to the public. Sudge WiIev Hartman of our own court has given a similar ruling, if we mistake not. Both these eminent judges are ex actly right. When a man under takes to operate an automobile, es pecially thru traffic or where child ren are playing, ne must have com plete controi of all his faculties There is nothing more dangerous, then to operate an automobile when intoxicated. Driving a car ri quires the utmost caution, the steadiest of nerves to meet any contigency that may arise. W hen a msn takes even one drink he is most likely to be deprived of of that perfect co-ordinari->n of f .culties that is necessary. A drunk- e i man w i.h an automohi e is more dangerous than an intoxicated man j with a gun. Thelatter probably will not shoot.straight. The incapacitated driver cannot drive straight.—Wins- Lm-Sentinel. A reformer may condemn the flapner hut you never -aw him,turn his head away when one of t'lem , as passing. j ----------------------- .
