Yes, it's Tom.

"A few years older"
Herein lies the motive power that
drives toward the divorce court.
That blackens lives, soils reputation,
breaks hearts.
That eats like a worm at the core
of social intercourse.
That turns beauty into ugliness.
That metamorphoses exalted senti-
ment.
And touches every life with a sar-
donic melancholy.
1t is the thing which nullifes the
sacredness of the institution upon
which modern society is founded.
For marriage presupposes fixity Of
feeling which is not divine nor human
Which tries to lasso and handcuff
something as elusive as the vapor
lowering at the horizon before the
dawn.
For "a few years older we regard
very much colder" not only she for
whom we sighed"-but every con-
scious thing in the universe.

INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. ia lber-
al supply of ginger was injected into
the movement to have block signal
systems installed on the interurban
lines OF Indiana by the state railroad
commission today. Judging from the
attitude of many OF the representatives
or the road who gathered for a con-
ference there is no particular enthusi-
asm for block signals and the commits
sion proceeded to assert its authority.
Chairman Wood announced that cir.
culars would Immediately be sent to
all traction companies asking for in
formation concerning their lines on
which the commission may base an op-
inion as to the need of block signals
and the conditions under which they
shall he installed.
Judge Wood made IL plain that the
commission is growing impatient at
the dilatory attitude assumed by most
of the traction lines. He said IL would
be an economical move for most of the
roads to install signal systems and
told them they would have to hurry IL
all the lines are equipped with block
SIGNALS by July /. 1918. as the law re-
quires.
President Todd of the T. H l. q E.

20 miles OF signals next year IL those
now in operation prove successful.
Judge Mcclure of the commission es-
timated that IL would require ten years

Most of the interurban men conten-
ded that they should not be required
to install block systems until salts

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE.
"a few years older
All, how much colder
We could behold her
For whom we sighed"
Thus Byron.
Byron has been denounced. or was
denounced as tickle and inconstant.
When the truth is that he was mere
ly frank.
Byron was not, indeed, half the bad
man" he was painted by SNUG, hypo-
critical and immoral public.
He was, rather, the possessor of a
sort of fierce and resentful loyalty.
Treated badly when child, he be-
came morose, suspicious and afraid to
pin his faith to anyone although in
clined to passionate affection.
His loves We're not SO numerous as
they were conspicuous. Conspicuous
through the fact of his celebrity.
Byron was scornful, too, of the con-
ventions of his day. A day of intellec-
tual pretense and sham piosity, of tim
orous shudderings and fearful tremors
over any expose of natural inclination.
Byron, was, in short, man. No bet
ter, no worse than the rest of 'em. For
they're all alike No difference in kind
only of degree.
He wrote the above verse in spirit
of flippancy.
But it embodied a truth as far
reaching as the universe.
For it illustrates the effect of the
ebb and flow of time or the human
entity.
1t is, as has been said before here
perhaps, the aesthetic aspects of youth
which are it's fascination.
And it is this that constitutes it's
holding power in nine cases out of
ten.
When color begins to fade and coun-
tours disappear, when rounded flesh
commences to sag and the hair loses
it's lustre, ardour pales.
This is a law of nature which men
and women refuse to recognize. They
purposely close their eyes and refuse
to see it. They know it's true. That it's
spectre constantly lurking in the
background-bu they put up a bluff
and talk of character and virtue and
true worth" and loyalty and never
changing love and all the rest.
Byron voiced a sentiment known to
the masculine world,
The majority of men are homestead
ed through habit and inertia.
They're like the animals in circuses.
They get so accustomed to their cages
that you can't drive them out.
But prod them long enough to arouse
them to a sense of injury or pain and
they will come outside.
The minute they scent freedom,
however, all is lost Off they charge to
their native jungle and then, once the
latter swallows them; no circus cage
ever knows them again.
For the iron-bound tent is not their
natural habitat .
Are you talking about lions or
mem" growled the misanthrope..
Don't you see I'm being metaphor
CALI" inquired the other person.
"a few years older"
Therein lies the tragedy of human
life.
Not only in it's amatory phases but
universally.
You know how it is yourself.
You've been away five or ten years,
say You return, either to live or visit.
And you walk down street. You see
very few people you know. Still there
are some who have vague, familiar
look and who eye you curiously.
You glance at them hesitatingly.
They half pause.
You stop. Why it is-it isn't-it is,
Tom Daily you used to go to school
