Mr.. HINMAN'S PLAN.
He Rescnts n Suggestion That "The
sun" Never Made.

To THE EbiroR or THE SuN-Sir: l
noticed in THE Sun Of July . AZ edi-
turial paragraph to the effect that | was
advocating monthly sessions OF the Leg
i%slaturo for the benefit OF the hotel
proprietors in Albany and the trans
portation companies who are honored by
legislative patronage and are enthusiast
tic for the change" and that the only
persons likely TO protest against 1t are
the taxpayers"
In order that you may know that |
have no selfish local interest in this
proposition. but that the proposal liz the
result of mature elaboration upon this
question and IN my judgment the solu-
ton OF legislative sessions not only In
this state but throughout the country.
] am enclosing herewith a complete copy
or my remarks to the Committee on Leg
islative Organization in favor OF my
proposal.
] am firmly convinced that the States
OF this Union. and particularly New
York with It's vast interests, have failed
in legislative method to keep apace with
the interests of the time due to the great
development OF industry and of govern
ment.
NV proposal does not mean a contin-
nous session of the Legislature. but only
one week In each month for ten months
In the year. which means a session If
not To exceed sixty days In the year.
surely this IL not IN the Interest of Al
oany ar Of the transportation compa-
mes when We look back upon the ses-
SONS OF recent years. some OF which
nave lasted for six. nine and twelve
months OF the year. OF course would
not exclude the LEGISLATURE from sitting
more than one week In the month II
emergency arises. but under proper re-
strictions. either by a two-thirds vote OF
both houses or by message Of the Gov
ernor. ! would authorize the legislature
to Al longer than one week IN an emer-
gency. which would be- similar to our
present method OF holding extraordinary
sessions.
think YOU will do me justice and the
SUBJECT justice II YOU will read my
statement and get my complete opinion

the world as last chance to recover
his shattered health. On his lazy tour
through Europe, he crosses the trail
several times of beautiful girl who
exerts an odd fascination over him,
but whose face he has never quite
seen. He loses her trail in Cairo,
where, in the hope of adventure, he
joins a young scientist bound for q
remote corner OF the South Seas. Tho
young scientist, while at hotel in
Cairo, has found diary lost by some
girl-a document which reveals an al,
Turing personality, but gives no hint
of the writer's name.
CHAPTER II-Oddly enough, in De.
prayne's mind, the girl Of the diary
and the other girl-the one who has
fascinated him, but whose face he has
never seen, begin to haunt his dreams
as a single person.
CHAPTER II--Just as the heat OF
monotony of the long sea voyage IL

ness. the ship is wrecked.
CHAPTER IV-When he RECEIVERS
consciousness, he finds that he is the
sole survivor cast up on tronic
shore.
CHAPTER V-From sea-chest,
the only thing he has rescued from

beautiful girl-"Miss Frances"-but
the paper is torn. The chest also con.
tains a gorgeous kimono ana couple
of oriental daggers.

and kimono all serve to Impro $ the

CHAPTER TX.
The Green Light.

There are men whose lives develop
in gradations of gentle growth. Dec.
ade merses into decade by unstart-
ling evolution. Variations of thread
and color run smoothly into the life
pattern.
With me 1t has been otherwise. The
constantly recurring dream of the
portal in the cliff was, in fashion,
symbolical of my life. The dreamd- of
rescue never came by degrees Of safe
ty. but by the abrupt opening Of a
door where there had been no door
before and by the sudden changing
Of worlds in step across thres-
hold.
For me epoch had followed epoch
with sudden breaks and few connect
Ing threads. One day was bored

The Young Actress, Once of Phoenix, Whose Place ill the Dramatic World is As snred, Confesses That She SncakCd in
By SALLY JACOBS

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17.-Did you ever pinch yourself to see if you were alive?
 When Nan HaIperin's name first blazed on Broadway, the little actress used to walk by the Palace night after night to gaze at the electric sign. She couldn't believe that she was a New York attraction, and it is still strange but delightful fairy tale to the tiny Phoenix girl, who has made an envia- ble reputation in vaudeville.
 She is frankly pleased with her suc cess. She's the same enthusiastic Nan Halperin, one moment clever and vi vacious and again sweet, quiet, demure. And, best of all, she's always real, for there isn't an ounce of affectation in the dainty ingenue Yes, she's an in genue, though We wouldn't have known how to classify her if she had not told us, for she sings and dances and imi- tates and talks to music and, inciden- tally, knows how to wear very good clothes very well indeed. While she has not changed in her manner, for all the well remembered magnetism is there. there is the added charm of the finished actress.
 ''I was the dark horse in vaudeville" :" she said solemnly, in her small, soft voice. T sneaked in without any no tices and my name was in the most inconspicuous place on the program. We thought if they didn't like me they wouldn't notice and could go out as quietly as I had come But they did like me" she declared happily, as she turned to her book of press notices to prove her assertion. She sat in the largest chair in her apartment, with the big book on her knees, fairly hid ing her from view. It was interesting to note that among her clippings she treasured were the criticisms she re- ceived when she played small time, ,' as well IS thoae of the last year signed

 What of a navy would the Navy League seriously recommend adequate for any purpose that might confront us? The countries of the world fight in groups, not individually.
