timepiece cost the trainer twenty-one
dollars, and he sold It to Speed for
double the amount, believing in the
luck OF even numbers. Nor did young
Speed allow his trainers efforts to

menace, and not until Lawrence had
cornered the market and the whole
collection was safely locked in his
trunk did he breathe easily. This re-

young people at the ranch enjoyed

halycon days for the Yale man, for
Fresno was universally agreeable, and

Mariedetta's capitulation to his en-

lounged luxuriously in the shade at
their customary resting place. "Yes,
and I'm aces with her, too" They had
set out for their daily run. and were
now contesting for the seven-up su-
premacy OF the Catskill mountains. Al
ready Glass had been declared the un-
disputed champion of the Atlantic
coast, while Speed on the day previous
had wrested from him the champion
ship Of the Mississippi valley.
"But Mariedetta is dark!" said the
college man, as he cut the cards. "She
is almost a mulatto."

WOULD GIVE WOMEN CON
SCIENCES

In view of the fact that the women
of the country-generally speaking
expend the incomes, Ida M. Tarbell,
the eminent magazine writer, nee
expressed the wish that she could, as
a Christmas gift, endow her country
women with the consumers con
science. Thus endowed 1t is to be ex-
pected that they would only purchase
those things for home consumption
that were made under proper condi-
tions and of pure and wholesome ma
terial. This to be the homes weapon
of defense against the organized forces
of greed. But though an enlightened
consumers conscience would be in
valuable to women it would be made
Quate to meet the needs of the situa-
ton. For price with the vast majority
Is, of necessity, more of a determining
factor in the buying of goods than
quality. The household budget must
conform to the income. And produc-
ton. communication, transportation,
w~holesaling and retailing all affect
price. Public opinion has now arrived
at that point where 1t recognizes that
these so-calied private enterprises
must be regulated in the interest Of
public welfare and it can only be done
through the making and enforcing OF
laws regarding them. We already
have some good pure food laws to sup
plement whatever conscience we may
have developed. But the vigilence Of
greed forced the resignation Of DR..
Wiley and a Remsen board decides
that the food he found deleterious to
the health of his Poison Squad" Is not
so for us. So we may well conclude
that the customary vigilence exercised
in the preparation of food by women is
also needed in the making and admin.
istering of the food laws. And since
the price Of the things we must buy Is
determined by many other things
which law making must regulate. and
since the male half Of the population

the making Of incomes than in the Ell
