After Capt Tom Phinney rejoined
the two girls, he was not long in com
pretending that his and their moods
had become reversed, in some unac-
countable way, during the few hours
of their separation. Where he had
been weighted down by no very press
ing anxiety, and they Enthusiastically
had been, he was now taciturn under
stress of an acute and growing men,
tai perturbation, while his companions
apparently were care-free and happy.
The change was most noticeable in
Jessie Willard for beneath Delias gay
humor there still ran an un6ercurrent
of gravity.
However even Jessie remained more
or less distract; but that her thoughts
were not unpleasant her glowing coun-
tenance and an unfathomable light in
her eyes attested.
AS the car drew up at the piazza
where Tom was waiting, Jessie clapped
her hands and cried enthusiastically:
Let's combine breakfast and lunch
con here! We shall have the place all
to ourselves. There is nothing so tire
some as being cooped up in a yacht
that doesn't go anywhere"
The others agreed; but in spite of
the light-hearted chatter of the two
girls. Tom was constantly relapsing
into state of gloomy. preoccupied ST.
lence.
On one occasion he detected Della
regarding him with a curious look
Did you see your friend?" she in
quired, catching his glance.
He is out of town." Tom answered
shortly.
Il didn't know but that you had
heard some bad news" the girl muir
INJURED; 1t seems strange that we can't
all be gay at the same time"
If you'll tell me where you went
to shed your troubles, I'd like to go
myself" said Tom. and wondered why
Jessie Willard blushed so furiously.

Demonstrations through:Money
Provided by Rockefeller's

NEW YORK. Dec. 26.-A SUM
mary Of the efforts made to promote
education in the southern states is
contained in an installments Of the
forthcoming report Of the General
Education Board, made public today.
The report In part says:
Mr.. Rockefeller's first gift to the
General Education Board was de.
signed to support an inquiry into the
educational needs of the southern
people. To the officers and members
of the Board who visited the South
for personal study, it soon became
clear that adequate develop
ments could not take place until the
available resources Of the people were
greatly enlarged. 4
THESE conditions were not pri-
narily due to any lack Of interest in
popular education. They were main
Iy the result of rural poverty. While
the average annual earnings of indi-
viduals engaged in agriculture in the
state Of Iowa were upward Of 1000,
the average earnings Of those SINH
larly engaged in some Of the southern
states were as low as $3.50.
"The great bulk Of the people Of
the southern states was simply not
earning enough to provide proper
homes and to support good schools.
Whatever the other deficiencies, the
prime need was money" s5. (.
