found it impossible to break through.
Ferrol then determined that the
piecemeal method of educating Edith
to the new standard of living was too
slow. There was a roomy house on
the lake front, with grounds and gar
den land, garage and many attractive
features, which could be rented rea-
sonably, the owners having been call
ed to the west. John Ferrol coveted
this house. One evening he left his
office early and thoroughly explored
this house and it's surroundings. 1t
seemed perfect home fer his family.
He called upon the agent and signed
a lease for the property.
Then he strobe home, drew his hat
down tightly upon his head, threw out
his chest and announced to Edith be-

"cRoWINc PAINS"

Married harmony. like love, may fly
out of the window when poverty
comes in at the door: but It does not
follow that happiness abides merely
because money enters the home. In
deed, both poverty and riches often
give the lie to popular proverbs in the
way they affect the love of man and
woman for each other.
For instance, when Edith and her
husband had to stint on Johns small
salary, their common problem had only
bound them more closely together.
Now that John Ferrol felt sure tho
need for stinting had passed, it seem
ed as though their easier circumstance
was now a cause OF discord between
them.
The car John Ferrol had bought
was the concrete cause as well as the
type and symbol of their discord. No
matter how completely John proved to
his wife that the purchase of this car
was justified by the income their share
in the Excelsior Heater Corporation
now earned for them. Edith still felt
that the motor was an extravaganza.
I'VE should have laid the money
by for the future, for eventualities.
for rainy day." she insisted. "One
can never tell what will happen. And
I'm SO terribly afraid this money won't
last. I'm thinking of the children"
Ferrol tried to be patient with her
fears. But he was not succeeding very
we'll as yet. 1t spoiled the joy he had
so eagerly anticipated getting out OF
the automobile for all of them.
At first it was Edith's open reluc-
lance to ride in the machine that
troubled him. Then when she real
lied she was makig the worst of a
situation which she had better accept
gracefully and tried to pretend q
pleasure in 1t she did not feel it was
her very determination to enjoy the
car that clouded Johns joy in it.
Good Lord. Edith, you look as
though had stolen the money to buy
the carl" he cried one day when they
had come back from a spin.
She knew then she had come to
the point where right becomes wrong;
that no matter how wrong her hus-
band might be in his extravaganza,
she was guilty Of wrong herself in the
excess to which she carried her worry
about it.
I'm sorry, john" she said contrite-
ly. 'Tll try and feel differently about
it. It's only thousand dollars, after
ALL"
But this did not reassure him. It
seemed an assumption that he would
stop in his mad career of expennc
with the purchase of the motor car.
Whereas the truth was, as Edith sus-
pected, that the car was only a be-
ginning.
Edith grew reconciled to the car
after a while-a while during which
no diminution Of their income had oc.

when John bought for himself. for her
and the children elaborate motoring
outfits, warm coats. raincoats, head
gear. gloves, wells, rugs and blankets
Though they seemed to her a fright
full extravaganza. she schooled herself
to silence.
1t was different matter, however.
when John insisted that she get for
herself whole new wardrobe.

those cheap duds?" he harangued.

Gen. March Says This Forces

eral March told the senate military

100000 men 10 be raised as soon as
possible.
While realizing the importance of
the measure. General March said he
did not believe it necessary 10 recall

started, will be permitted to con-

derstood by the commission that the
Capital Securities Issue Committee
expects it to maintain the Gunpow
der bridge in good condition.
Another section of the committees
findings provided that the one-hfth
of the loan. 100000, which is due
Baltimore city, shall be put into u
trust fund until further orders.
The action of the securities COM
mittee in disappearing the use of
large part of the roads loan for the
construction work proposed by the
Roads Commission will be indorsed,
it is believed, by most of those who
were in Annapolis when the loan was
authorized, and by those of the pub
lie in general who think that roads
work should be limited strictly to
that which is imperative, in order
that the State shall not become an
unnecessary competitor with the Gov
ernment in the market for labor and
materials.
When the loan was proposed in
Annapolis last winter, there was
strong opposition, on the ground
that there was little roads work
which was imperative. Governor
Harrington had stated in his message
that he thought there should be no
roads appropriations, except perhaps
for the rebuilding of some dangerous
bridges and for State-aid roads. The
Democratic platform of last year
contained a plank in favor of war
economy in internal improvements.
Nevertheless, the loan for $4,000, 200
was put through, with the vigorous
support of the State administration
and the Roads Commission, ON the
ground that the money would not be
used except in case of emergency, or
in case the war ended and it became
desirable to go into the labor and
material market before 1921.
when, however, the money was in
hand, the plans of the State admin
listration and the Roads Commission
seemed to call for expenditure of the
entire half of the loan generally
available in the first year after the
Legislature. The work approved, as
stated above, plus the work disap-
proved, totals Appropriately S1,500,-
1000, or half the loan.
