one else to take walks with you after
this"
"I didn't know that you would
mind parting with few pennies to
poor woman like that" said Helen
sarcastically.
You needn't take that attitude
either. You know very well that il
wasn't the money"
We'll, I'd be ashamed to admit that
1t was anything else. Were you
ashamed to be seen giving her some
change"
Certainly not, It's simply mat
ter of whether the people deserve it
or not. l claim that a thing like
that Is worse than wrong.
Helen was silent.
That's the way to make beggars
out of people. Why, you'd be sur
prised to know how many OF these
professional beggars have real estate
in their own names and lots more
money in the bank than you or l."
Perhaps that Is true of some"
Helen admitted, "but you didn't know
that anything of the kind was true
.ot the old woman. l should think
that occasionally you could give just
because you are happy yourself and
because life is sweet for you and un-
pleasant for other people"

You admit then that your feeling
is entirely selfish ?"
How do you mean?"
Il mean that it gave you a feel

enjoyed, that it made you appear be-
nevolent, regular Lady Boutiful,
dressed for the part. Warren's tone
was plainly sneering and Helen was
tempted TO retort, but she kent silent

REQ Engineer Tells of
Testing the Carburetor

Before you let someone substitute
another for the carburetor on that old
car of Yours-the one the maker put
on--just do few things that the
salesman of the other will insist upon
doing anyway before he proves what
his carburetor will do" says Horace

Mind you, I don't say that there
may not be n better one-for the
world does move and great improve
ments have been made from time to

But before YOU discard the old

and see that your clutch is in good
condition. Oh, yes, clutch may have
lot to do with the performance of a

system-clean the plugs. adjust the

Just Promoted to Lieutenant Colonel
of Army

Just Promoted to Lieutenant-C Colonel
of Army
Word was received today by Capt
Robert G. Williams. commandant of
the local recruiting station in this
city. his appointment as lieutenant
colonel in the United States army had
been approved by the Secretary of
War.
Captain Williams leaped the gap
in the line from captain to lieutenant
colonel by a curious coincidence. Up
on his retiring from the active list
he retained the rank of captain but
remained in line for promotion should
he underwent examinations at Fort
Ontario. New York TO return TO duty
and 1t so happened that all the majors
had been advanced when his. turn for
promotion occurred. a vacancy in
the lieutenant-colonelcy was on the
list, however, and the commandant of
Harrisburgs recruiting Office was
nominated to fill the place
The appointment incidentally means
that the officer will probably see act
ice service in the literal sense with
in the next few months as the chances
are that he will be detailed for active
duty on the Mexican border.
Captain Williams said today that he
command much before July ! al
though he is making preparations now
to turn over his Office to his successor.

ment or on free range. They are active
and good foragers. and from reports
received give good results in large
flocks.
The Black Orpington is noted for
being the most typical OF all the Or
pingtons. That is, good-shaped speci-
mems of the breed are more numerous
in Blacks than in any of the other
colors. During the past show season
the Black Orpington classes at the
big poultry exhibitions showed even
more uniformly high excellence than
they have previously.
The weights required on this breed
are Approximately S1a to 10 pounds
for males and to s pounds for fe-
males, and they frequently exceed
these weights. This is a good. siZable
fowl to meet market requirements
where the breeder raises enough fowls
to have a surplus for sale, and is a
desirable size for the home table.

10000 Cuardsmen:
Not One Can Be Used

COLUMBUS, o.. July 10
About 10000 citizen soldiers are
in one huge camp here and Tn
Gle Sam cannot use a single one
of them.
This staggering fact confronts
an investigator at Camp Willis,
where the national guard of Ohio
is concentrated. The same fact
can be discovered at almost any
state camp in the country. The
Ohio camp is taken as an ex-
ample because Of its size and Gen.
trail location.
The great tented city here is
living example of the reasons
the national guard cannot rush
to arms" why state militia never
has been able to get into any
fight quickly, why citizen sol.
diers under state control never
will be able to reach the eff
cheney the nation blindly expects
its defenders to attain.
