miracle-a unique phenomenon which
never ceased to amaze him. He did
not dream that every man had felt the

And so the time passed rapidly. But,
strange to say, there came no answer
to those letters. O'Reilly cursed the

cabled, but still the days dragged on

The Man Who Would Know Life

Later that day O'Re,lly set out to
reconnoiter the city of Neuvitas. He
was followed. Of course-he had ex-
pected as much. and the circumstances
amused rather than alarmed him. But
when he returned to his hotel and
found that his room had been visited
during his absence he felt hint of
uneasiness. Evidently, as Doctor Al
varndo had forecast, the authorities
were Interested In him; and he had
further evidence Of the fact when he
learned that the room next him was
occupied by the very man who had
shadowed him on the street. Inasmuch
as the Intervening wall was no more
than a thin partition, through which
his very breathing could be heard,
while his every movement could doubt
less be spied upon. O'Rellly sow the
need Of caution.
During breakfast, and arterward
throughout an aimless morning stroll,
O'Reilly felt watchful eyes upon him.
When he returned to his hotel he
found Mr.. Carbajal In the cafe con-
cOcting refrescos for some military off,
GERS, who scanned the American with
bold, hostile glances. O'Reilly COM
planned to the proprietor Of tooth
ache. He declared that something had
to be done at once. and inquired the
name and address Of the best local
dentist.
Mr.. Carbajal named several. among
them DIR. Tomas Alvarado. whereupon

The Borglum Flying Fish

1t appears now that Sculptor Gutzon Borgum is
genius of infinite variety. He not only sculpts to
some purpose, but also takes filler at aviation.
That is, he has ideas. One of his ideas he put up to
Col. Deeds, of the aircraft outfit
1t seems that Gutzon invented a flying fsll-an
airplane. The driver sat inside with the motor,
while the air rushed in at the front end and then
right out again at the back.
The Borglum flying fish was work of art It was
a beautiful conception and it lacked but one i'm
portant essential-the darned fish wouldn't fly.
So it follows that if Col. Deeds couldn't make
flying fish fly why then Col. Deeds was bum
aviator.
Probably the trouble with Deeds is that he is
merely human. Sculptors are sometimes something
more. There was our old friend Pygmalion, for ex-
ample. Pyg sculpted a beautiful lady out of cold
marble and named her Galatea. And what do you
suppose that marble dame did? Why, she stepped
right down off her pedestal and walked all the
place.
Now Col. Deeds was mechanic enough to make
flying fish out of aluminium or tin; and he could put
engine in it. He might put gs, fins, scales and
tail on it. But he couldn't make it go. SO you
really can't blame Gutzon for getting sore at the
whole aircraft production crowd. Wouldn't you be
disappointed yourself if you invented flying fish
and it wouldn't either swim or fly?

Metal Workers Riiht

The Times has always championed the union Ia
Dor idea. We have fought ever for the right of
workers to organize and to bargain collectively
with employers.
But we never did think labor unions were perfect
any more than We thought churches, or employers
or newspapers were perfect.
One fault of the existing unions, we have OBJ
served their activities, is general failure their
part to try to increase individual working eff
ficency of their members.
True, they have done great deal in an indirect
way. By bringing about better working conditions,
shorter hours and by raising the wage scale, they
have made their members on the whole better
craftsmen.
But they seldom went further than this They did
not seek to teach improved methods of work. to
cooperate with employers toward increasing the
output; they did not interest themselves and pride
themselves on making their plant the most efficient
of its class
Rather, at times, it has seemed as if they deliber-
atey tried to reduce output, to bring the most eff
fcient workers to the dead level of the less efficient
to thwart the introduction of improved machinery,
devices and methods. And that is a severe indict-
ment.
Perhaps the stress of war is going to remedy this
evil in the labor unions just as it is remedying
many another fault in society.
A healthful symptom that such is the case is to be
seen in the deliberations of the metal workers of
the Pacific Coast, who met in Tacoma few days
back. They went on record as favOring policy of
bringing about the maximum output of conscious
ly nstilling in their individual member the idea
that it is his patriotic duty to hammer out just
much work every eight hours as he is capable of
doing.
That theory is sound. By its adoption and intel
hgent application labor unions will place them
selves a foundation where they can grow power
full and permanent. To ignore it means eventual
decay.
For it is a true old law that the fit shall survive
and the unfit shall disappear from the earth The
ahOru of nor off cinpt
men, it goes without saying, would fall in the class
of the fit, while that union which depends alone on
its strength of organization sooner or later must
fail

Dear Miss Grey: Twenty
years ago a little daughter was
born to me. Yes, illegitimate.
For three years | kept her
as best I could; then l came
under the influence Of thoro-
ly bad woman who told ME l
could make lots of money at

In a few weeks she had influ

lived in the same town.
They were to keep her six
weeks on trial, but in less than
two weeks they came with pa
pers for me to sign, and think
ing they were not binding
enough, they had others made
out to the extent that l was
never to modest her. I signed
them.
In a few months the scales
got out Of my eyes and I left
the woman's place and went to
work at hard, honest work, and
have worked hard practically
all these years.

girl have been with me always;

to give her up, but I thought It

RELIABLE METHOD
OF HAIR CARE

Hair Is by far the most con-
spicuous thing about us and is
probably the most easily damag-
ed by bad or careless treatment.
Ii we are very careful in hair
washing, we will have virtually
no hair troubles. An especially
fine shampoo for this weather.,
one that brings out all the natural
beauty of the hair, that dissolves
and entirely removes all dandruff,
excess oil and dirt, can easily be
used at trifling expense by simply
dissolving a teaspoonful of Can
throx (Which you can get at any
druggist's), in a cup Of hot water.
This makes q full cup Of shampoo

SPROUTS FROM

1.-THE ROOT OF EVIL"
81 certainly wish that the poor
old fetishes which both men and
women have made of chivalry and
Innocence, could be destroyed"
said Donna vehemently, as she was
describing southern women.
Both make for helplessness
and fo0lishness in women.
Both keep the world from pro-
crossing.
"The alteration of both Is but
the worship of the flesh instead of
the spirit.
l looked at Donna in admira-
ton, no one had ever put my ideas
in such concrete form before.
What a long way she had trav-
|eled since those years in which she
was fighting for her own with
Kitty Malram, and then l thought
how l, too, had changed, for when,
as Dick wrote in his manuscript:
so, Margie, took the advice that
old Jim gave to his married friend
and went into jewelry store near
the hotel and found a silver mesh
bag, and putting $50 bill in it,
I made my appearance as gaily as
l hoped to make my peace.
"And you, dear, accepted it just
as l had always seen mother do,
and l said to myself with an in
ward smile, They are all alike
I was sure that you had decided to
let me do as I pleased with your
money-sure that as long as I
could appease you with the trifles
and gauds that all women love.
could do as I thought best with
the important decisions of life.
But 1 discovered to my cost,
dear, that idea might have gone
in mothers day, indeed 1t still goes
now with lot OF selfish, foolish
women, but you, my wife, are not
selfish. Neither are you foolish,
although at times I have thought
and declared you both, in my
own mind.
81 realized, some time after
ward, that you accepted my gifts
as the silent promise that 1 un-
derstood your position as a
partner in the firm of marriage
and as such ! would respect you
and consult you henceforth.
1--WE began right there, Margie,
at cross purposes, for l left you
exultantly after dinner to write
to Mr.. Selwin that l would take
$500 shares of school book stock,
and you dreamed that I had de-
cided to do as you suggested and
take only 500 shares.
You were not more surprised
than I when we got home and I
found that you intended to stick
to your own plans in the matter.
at was WITH a great deal Of
chagrin that l made a clean breast
of the whole thing to Mr.. Selwin
the next day, and to my surprise
he said you were right about 1t,
