 Splendid. But. like Babylon, 1t fell at the wrong time"
 For lively quarter of an hour they discussed people about town, liberally approving the slandered and denounc- ing the slanderers. A still buster quar- ter of an hour ensued when together they made up the list of dinner guests He moved little, writing table up to the divan, and she looked on eagerly while he wrote down the names she suggested after many puckerings of her fair, aristocratic brow. and then drew lines through them when she changed her mind. Mrs. Dan DeMille handled her people without gloves in making up Monty's lists. The dln- ners were not hers, and she could af- ford to do as she pleased with his. He was broad and tall and she was not slow to see that he was indifferent. He did not care who the guests were or how they came: he merely wished 10 make sure of their presence. His only blunder was the rather diffident recommendation that Barbara Drew be asked again. If be observed that Mrs. Dams head sank little closer to the paper. he attached no importance to the movement He could not see that her eyes grew narrow. and he paid no attention to the little catch in her breath.

 "Rawles, that'll do.' exploded Mon ty. The buffers chin went up, and his cheeks grew redder than ever.
 ''I beg pardon, sir,' he gasped. with a respectful but injured air
 "Rawles, you will kindly not inter- fere in such matters again. It is not only the privilege but the duty of every American to strike for higher pay whenever he feels like it. and want 1t distinctly understood that I am heartily in favor of their attitude. You will kindly go, back and tell them that after reasonable length of service their wiges-I mean wages-shall be increased. And don't meddle again, RawIes"

Council Bluffs School Board and
Health Board Controversy Nears

Council Bluffs School Board and
Health Board Controversy Nears
Crisis.
Special to Times-Republican.
Council Bluffs, March 9. While
the health and school boards are rest
ing on their oars watching each other
closely and wondering what will be the
result of the order to compel all school
children to be vaccinated, thousands
of youngsters are flocking to the doc
tors offices to submit to the inoccula-
ton of vaccine virus. The time limit
for vaccinating expires Friday, and
since the health board has expressed
it's determination to enforce the order
there is a rush of children to their
family physicians. The health board
has decided to take no further action
regarding the refusal of the school
board to comply with the health reg
ulations. The doctors say that they
will let the matter stand until the
time limit is up, and then if the order
has not been obeyed to the letter ex-
amples will be made of some of the
obstinate ones. The termination of the
fight is awaited with interest. While
a greater number of the children have
been vaccinated others have refused
to do so, and trouble is expected in
the schools Monday morning.
