beth added that since her studies she
had changed her point of view of the
Jew entirely
They parted, Bluma somehow feel
ing greatly relieved and lighter
hearted than she had felt in long
time. She was glad she was to see
Dick tonight at the dance at the
automobile club. She would then ex-
plain to him gently why they could
not marry.
She greeted Dick with nervous
little laugh and chatted volubly all
the way down the brilliantly lighted
thoroughfare Of Michigan avenue
lnwardly she was thrilled with his
well-groomed, prince-like appearance
and his irreproachable manners. Now
she was afraid that she was in love
with him. She would certainly hate
to have another girl capture him.
How could she bring herself to make
that numbering explanation about
the inherent differences between
Jew and Gentle? He would laugh
that off. But for the sake of her
mother and the dying message of her
father she couldn't marry him.
Couldn't they always be friends just
like this? 1t was SO pleasant, with
out getting into further entangle-
ments. She recalled a conversation
with Miriam, who was asking about
her friends when she came home for
the Christmas vacation.
eff were you, I'd make as many
friends as possible, ew or Gentle.
Most girls around here are afraid of
having non-Jewish men for friends
because they look upon every man
as prospective husband. You
needn't do that of course, and you'll
be safe in going out with Gentiles.
You'll have much better time that
way"
The events of the evening were a
revelation to her and led her to give

out Of the ante-room of that very
exclusive club, when she heard the

BLUMA-.THE QUEST FOR THE BEAUTIFUL
A Story by Jeanette Frisch.
VII.-FULFILLMENT.

Those were four wonderful years
at Chicago. 1t seemed to Bluma as
though she had gained an infinite
knowledge of the world since she
had come from the narrow confines
of Irondale feeling like a detached
atom in forlorn space. She was
now used to the incessant buzz Of
the city; it's lights and shadows; the
huge monstrous buildings lifting
their massive shoulders to the clouds
belching forth pillows of smoke
but these things never failed to
thrill her. She was glad to be
part of this throbbing, pu1sating life
1t was fortunate for her that Eliz-
abeth had been in Chicago studying
at the university. She was always
help with her unvarying common
sense and practicability amounting
almost to genius. Together they
tramped through Little Italy,
where gay ribbons, swarthy skins,
straight black hair and magnificent
ears predominated through the de-
pressing Polish district; through the
Ghetto bustling, jostling, noisy and
humorous.
And what good times they had
with Dick, Elizabeth's cousin, whose
automobile and time were generous
ly at their service. Good, jolly Dick,
who though college bred, had only
two topics of conversation-automo-
bile and sports; commencing with a
preliminary on the weather and con-
Guiding with an obituary on the
price of gasoline Wouldn't Eliza
beth laugh if she knew that Dick
had proposed to her? Elizabeth
never did take him seriously and she
had come to look upon him in the
same light. AS physical specimen,
he was undeniably attractive. With
his clean-cut, handbook appearance,
ruddy complexion, we'll built muscu-
lar figure, he looked like some Vik-
ing who might have secured the seas
for treasure. She loved his physical
being, but had nothing in common
with him spiritually and very little
mentally But he was always agree
able though not particularly stimu-
lating company.
She had put Dick off pleading her
musical career as an excuse. Dick,
with unwonted mental alertness, had
enumerated to her dozen stars who
were happily married. Bluma
thought there could be but a dubious
kind of happiness in serving two
masters. Besides, she could see be-

cons, that sort of deadened her de-
sire for higher things, and dances
where each watched the other with
a countenance of gentle ennui and
so on ad infinitum.
And didn't Dick know that she
was Jewish? Religion played such
a little part in his life that it never
occurred to him to ask what sort Of
a God she professed Her musings
ended with a start, for she suddenly
thought of the effect of such mar
rage on her folks and she dismissed
the subject from her mind.
She was restless and could hardly
concentrate on the music before her.
She sauntered out Of the dormitory
on the conservatory grounds. 1t
was a balmy afternoon in April. She
could feel the spring languor in the
air. She longed for some compan-
ionship. She must see Elizabeth
She took the car bound for the Uni
versity grounds. Elizabeth was ex-
uberant from a game of tennis in
which she had beaten her opponent
She noticed at once Bluma's moody
looks.
"Why SO glum-Babe? Has Dick
proposed to your" Elizabeth barely
waited for Bluma's answer divining
it with womans intuition.

were you. You are both unsuited to
each other and it would be waste

more Of the heroics of the thing that
prompted him to do it. You see,
Dick has sporting blood in him and
he ina gines he will cut a sort of
heroic figure in marrying a prima
donna, assuming that you will be-
come one"
Bluma laughed at her droll way of
interpreting the situation Perhaps
after all, Elizabeth was right Eliza
beth had something interesting to
show her. 1t was a thesis that she
had written for her course in Edu-
cation on Jewish education and mar
riage customs in which she justified
the Jewish custom of the parents ar
ranging the marriage Of their chill
dren without consulting the prefer
ences of the parties in question. She
thought in this way their chances

since the parents were better judges

CROPS WAY BELOW NORMAL
FINAL FINDINGS GIVE NO PROM
lSE OF RELIEF.
Grain, Fruit and Vegetables Decrease
in Quantity According to
. Authorities.

Washington, D. c. Final re
ports by the United States bureau
of crop estimates showed an unus-
ual shortage of all major crops.
Wheat, corn and oats-the great
American staples, failed to come up
to expectations.
The belief that the American farm
er might be able to stem the tide
of advancing food prices through an
adequate yield was only abandoned
with the final official announcement
by the government crop experts,
based on thousands of reports from
departmental agents in all parts of
the United States.
Not only did every grain crop, as
we'll as potatoes, apples, and some
garden vegetables, fall below last
years figures, but other crops in
volved in the high cost of living have
proved a disappointment.
Cotton production, while slightly
greater than last years crop, was
below the average for the last five
years.
The report showed an increase OF
a hundred million pounds Of tobacco
over last year and crops far above
the five-year average. Oranges also
showed an increase of two million
and a half boxes over las year. Hay
also was in the favored but limited
class of crops, showing an increase

TripoIi Mines.

Two manufacturing plants of New
ton county which mine the commod-
ity known in the commercial world
as tripoli, during the fiscal year that
ended June 80, 1916, turned out fill
tering stones and abrasives to the
amount of $500 tons which had a
market worth of $65, 767, states a bull
uetin of the bureau of labor statistics
issued by Commissioner John T.
Fitzpatrick. Missouri is n Of the few
states in the country in which depos-
its of tripoli, which is a sort of dia-
tonaceous earth, are found. This min
eral substance is also known as an
infusorial earth. While it resembles
chalk or clay in its physical proper
ties, it can be distinguished at once
from clay by the fact that it does not
e%ffervesce when treated with acids.
1t consists of the remains of minute
aquatic plants and is composed, chem
ically, of hydrous silica. Owing to
its porosity, tripoli has great absorb
tive power and high insulating eff
cheney and is an effective filter. The
hardness, the minute size and the
| shape of its grains makes it an ex-
cellent metal polishing agent.

Banker and Wife Murdered.

Peoria, Ill.-John F. Becker, IS,
and his wife. 83, are dead at their
farm home near Mason City, a small
town southeast of here. Both were
murdered.
Robbery is believed to have been
the motive for the murder. Becker
was one of the wealthiest farmers in
this section of the state and is known
to have kept a large sum of money
in his home, having been opposed to
banks since the failure of a Pekin
bank in which he was interested.
The murder was discovered by a
married daughter who came to the
Becker residence from her home
nearby. She was unable to gain ad-
mitance, and called her husband and
son. They broke into the house and
discovered the aged man and his
wife dead in the living room with
two bullet holes in their bodies. The
assassin had also tried to cremate
them.

State officials, prompted by the dis
covery that Missouri will not partici-
pate next year in the SIS, 900, 900 fed
eral good roads fund because the
state highway commissioner law
makes that official merely a jobhold-
er instead of an officer with author
ity, have begun discussing amend
ments which would permit participa-
ton by Missouri in the portion of the
federal fund unexpended after next
year.
Gov. Major had expected that Mis-
souri, would get a part of the federal
appropriation, and expressed aston
ishment when he received a letter
from Secretary Houston of the depart
lment of agriculture, announcing that
because the highway, commissioner of
Missouri had no authority to desig-
nate the roads to be improved or to
supervise their construction, none Of
the fund could be expended in the
state.
Secretary Houston said that it was
essential for the department to deal
with a highway commissioner who
had authority to build roads. In Mis-
souri, each of the ia county courts
has sole authority over road construc-
ton in its county.
If the state had a central author

it could obtain $169,720 of the govern
ment appropriation this year and in

that the state appropriate each year

SUBSTITUTE FOR
ADAMsON BILL
BOTH SIDES TO CONTROVERSY
PROPOSE REPEAL OF
MEASURE.
HAVE MADE AN AGREEMENT
Author Says Men and Officials VIII
Be Spanked If Necessary-Pub-
lie Must Get Fair
Deal.

Washington, D. C.-Reports that
railroad and brotherhood heads in
a conferences have planned to
propose the repeal of the Adamson
and the substitution Of a working
agreement of their own making for
it, have aroused Representative
Adamson, author of the law to de-
clared that congress would spank
both sides to the controversy if nee
essary."
Adamson, who is the house repre-
sentative of President Wilson in rail-
way legislation matters, is willing to
cooperate in any plan employees and
employers may evolve for the inter
probation of his law as applied to
working conditions, but will vigorous
ly oppose repeal of it, as he thinks
will the majorities of both houses.
Congress will not agree to any re-
peal of the Adamson law" he said.
To Protect the Public.
81 hope that the negotiations be-
tween the railroads and their en-
ployes will result in an agreement
which will not make further legisla-
ton necessary, but congress will see
that the public gets a fair deal"
Neither labor nor congressional
leaders here have official reports as
to just what phases of the railway
situation the conferees have taken
up. Belief is current however, in con-
gressional circles, that the foremost
feature of the final agreement will
be an Interpretation of the Adamson
law so satisfactory to both sides that
the suit to test the acts constitu-
tionality, now before the supreme
court, may be withdrawn.
A plan for the investigation OF
threatened strikes, also is expected
to result from the deliberations. La
Dor is determined that no compulsory
arbitration law shall go on the stat
ute books, but, realizing thai the
president evidently is very serious in
his determination to prevent strike
crises without investigation they will
exert every effort to draft a COM
promise plan that will have his in
dorsement.

ENGLISH FREE GERMAN BOOKS
Were on Way to the United States
Propaganda Volumes Still
Held Up by censors.

London, England.-A large number
Of scientific and educational books
which were seized by the British
authorities in transit from Germany
to the United States have been re-
leased. Most of them were bought
for universities and other educational
institutions and have no flavor of
wal about them.
But the books classed as propa-
ganda are not released. Among them
are several volumes by Houston
Chamberlain, who is regarded here
as a renegade Englishman. He
married Eva Wagner, made his home
in Bayreuth and not only has written
much about Richard Wagner and his
works, but has espoused the cause of
Germany in this war.
