the faces of the people grew more
cheerful He laughed softly to himself
from sheer lightness of heart. From
down a side street he came into the
Strand, and here. for the first time, ne
noticed that he himself was attracting
some attention.
Then he remembered his clothes.
shabby enough, but semi-cierical, ana
he walked boldly into a large ready
made clothing establishment, where
everything was marked in plain hg-
ures, and where lay figures Of gentle
men with waxy faces. attired in the
height of fashion, were gazing blandly
out into the world from behind huge
plate-glass window. He bought plain
blue serge suit, and begged leave to
change in the ''trying-on" room.
Half an hour later he walked out
again. with his own clothes done up in
bundle, feeling that his emancipa-
ton was now complete.
The lights of Waterloo Bridge at
tracted him, and he turned down De
he had his first view of the Thames.
He leaned over. gazing with fascinated
eyes at the ships below, dimly seen
now through the gathering darkness,
at the black waters, in which flashed
the reflection of the long row Of lamps.
bankment, all afire with brilliant lum-
nations, almost took away his breath.
While he fingered there Big Ben BOOM
ed cut the hour of six, and he realized
with beating heart that those must be
the Houses of Parliament across on the
other side. A cold breeze came up and
blew in his face, but he scarcely needed
1t. 1t was the mother river which flow
ed beneath him-the greatest of the
worlds cities into which he had come
a wanderer, yet at heart one Of her
sons.
Now at last he was in touch with his
kind. Oh, what a welcome present-how
gladly he realized that henceforth he
must rate his life from that day! He
lifted his parcel cautiously to the ledge
and waited for a moment. There was
no one looking. Now was his time. He
let II go, and heard the mufhed splash
as II fell upon the water.
Not until il had slipped from his fin
gers and gone beyond recovery did he
oaliZe that the card which she had
given him was carefully tucked away
in the breast pocket Of the coat. He
knew neither her name nor where to
look for her.

Differ Over Currency
In Proposed Reform

secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo
would have the Government issue all
currency under the proposed cur
rency reform legislation. II is under
stood? The Secretary is credited with
favoring the retirement of all gold
certificates and bank notes which at
present total nearly two billion dol
lars. Under his plan all paper money
would be United States notes.
Chairman Glass. of the House Bank
ing and Currency Committee, would
not, IL is said, disturb the present
issues of gold certificates or any
other United States notes, but would
gradually retire the national bank
notes and permit the reserve asso-
Citations 20 issue currency to the ex-
tent of the assets of the banks in
memberships. This currency would
take the place o. the present bank

DR.. BLUE ADVOCATES
EUGEN|C WEDDINGS
Mating Of People in Good Health
Would, He Believes, Insure
Better Americans.

The health marriage" plan Of the
eugenists has received the indorse-
ment of Surgeon General Blue. Of the
Public Health Service. He declares
that the mating Of people in good
health will have the effect of not
only insuring the right of children
to good heridity, but it will also be
the most effective means Of checking
the divorce evil.
He feels that precautions against
the marriage Of the unfit will be the
means Of developing a better .Ameri.
can citizenship and nation OF
healthier people through the Drotec-
tion Of men and women against in
sidioUs diseases.
DIR. Blue stands for laws in every
State to force the presentation OF
health certificates before marriage
part of the creed OF the local eugen-
lists. who are planning to form here
this week a national society Of eu-
genics. ...-
Believes Low. Will Rule.
While DR.. Blue believes that senti-
ment will always rule to a large ex-
tent in marriages. he feels that mar
riages with health insured will make
than just ceremonies involving love
without health.
The spread Of the health marriage
idea will mean that men particularly
will come to think more Of the care
of themselves and the danger of GER
tain infectious diseases" declares DR..
Blue THE day when thinking people
can give even passive support to the
so-called double standard Is rapidly
passing.
Young Men Are Warned.
Young men who think they must
SOW their wild oats and who give little
thought to the dangers which await
them in dissipation. must be taught
that the fathers and mothers Of the
land will not allow their daughters to
enter innocently into union which
may result in the transmission Of dis
ease or blindness to the offspring, or
perhaps in the ruination of the health
or even In the death of the mother"
DR.. Blue also sounds a warning
against men who are addicted to drug
and drink habits. He is undecided as
to the best method to pursue In the
matter of examinations before marriage
whether by family or municipal physi-
clans.
