Teddy Drake was what is known as
a typical New Yorker, if you know
what we mean. A typical New York
err is a blase sort of fellow. Wherefore,
swearying of being in a state of per-
spetual unemotion, Teddy decided to go
out and do something for other folk,
hoping to develop an interest in life
. Hathaway.
So into the west he goes-on the
theory that fasteners would think he
was playing some sort of con game
on them if he tried to do something
for them.
, In Sonora, Mexico, Drake meets one
Manuel Lopez, leader of an outlaw
band, who is being pursued by the
sheriff Seeming adventure. Drake
changes clothes with the bandit, en-
abling that follower of an ancient pro-
fession to elude his pursuers, and
Drake himself leads the enforcers of
law and order a merry chase, finally
taking refuge on the roof of the coun-
.ty Jail which is the last place in the
world the sheriff thinks to search.
In the jail is Mercedes Sylvester.

who has been imprisoned by the sher
if on a trumped-up charge of SNUG
Cling, and Ted straightway falls in
love with the dainty captive. From

that time on his sole ambition is to
release the girl and prevent the sher-
if and his crew from stealing the
money which Mercedes and her broth
were forced to conceal in their old
home down in Mexico, to prevent the
insurrectionists' taking it.
In the midst of his endeavors, Drake
is himself captured and thrown into
Jail. He manages to make his escape,
and there follows a wild chase cross
country.
The plot goes on finding young
Drake continually endeavoring to help
others and continually landing in hot
water as a result of his well-intention-
ed activities. Every new move to
help others results in inconvenience
often of the most embarrassing sort
to himself.
In the end, Drake manages to put
the girl and her brother in possession
of the money, and himself in possess
.sion of the girl, which isn't half-bad.
He wires his mother that doing things
for other people is all very well in its
Gway, but that it keeps a man in hot
water and he is ready for q cool
plunge. So, having received Mercedes
assent, he plunges cody into the sea
of matrimony and heads for Broad
way and Forty-second street.
The moral of the tale, of course, is
that doing something for somebody
else is a fine thing, but that unselfish-
ness can be carried too far-from
Broadway to Mexico being an example
of OVERRIDING the distance. However.
If Drake hadn't gone TO Mexico, he
wouldn't have found Mercedes.

LARGEST CHCIR
EVER TO PLAY
AT CENTENNIAL

Columbus. O.. June tS.-A choir of
100 trombones. said to be the largest
ever organized, will be a feature of
the Methodist centenary celebration
here June 20 to July 10, which will
| mark the close of 100 years of mis-
sionary work by the Methodist Epis-
copal church.
Alto and tenor were the princioal
trombones used by the choir which
| has been rehearsing for weeks. To
give the complete voicing necessary,
soprano and bass trombones had to
| be produced in large numbers and
| those accustomed to playing the mere
common trombones had to acquire a
new technique. The soprano from
bone, in particular, had not been used
| in concert in more than 100 years,
| according to H. B. Dickson, organic
| ing secretary.
Special scores had to be prePAsed
for the simplest CT Lrch hymns and
for the greatest choruses of sacred
and seTni-sacred music. Besides the
trombone choir, there will be a $780,
600 pipe organ, a mixed chorus of
1900 voices, a chorus of 500 negro
singers, group of trained oraror1c
singers and a band from the famous
Rainbow Division.
Public building and private homes
Will be used to accommodate the 200,-
900 to 100000 visitors expected at the
celebration which, directors say, will
be the biggest chm IN meeting ever
held. The State School for the Blind,
the State School for the Deaf, and
the former army barraclk on the OaIlo
State University campus will be used
to house the delegates. Forty thods-
and rooms in private homes also have
been listed.
Hundreds of delegates will eat their
meals in former saloons which went
out of business when Ohio became
dry May 81, and which have been con-
verted into restaurants to accommo-
date the visitors.
Automobile caravans will bring the
delegations from Council Bluffs, Ia,
Springfield, ILL.,, Pittsburg, Texas.
South Dakota, Virginia and other far
away points. The celebration will
take the form of a big missionary ex-
hibition.

troduced me to a young man who
seemed to like me very much. He
told me about a girl he used TO go
with. but he doesn't see her very
often now. as he spends most of his
evenings with me. Nearly every
night this girl or some friend OF
hers rings my telephone as late as
IL and II o'clock. trying to get all
the information they can concerning
this young man. My family have all
tried to reason with her; even this
young man has spoken 10 her. I'm
about to give it up.
Now. dear Miss Fairfax. can you
give me advice as to what steps TO
take? DO you think il necessary
for me TO give up this new friend
on account OF this trifling girl:
NAVY BLUE.
It will depend entirely on the
young mans relations to the other
girl what steps to take. II he hap
pens to be engaged to her, and the
engagement has not been broken,
doubtless she feels entitled to
some sort of an explanation. why
not discover the extent OF her
claims on the young man before
proceeding further.

but never to a dance, because
neither one OF us can dance very

The one thing that embarrasses me
is that my education is limited,
while she is well educated. being a

The simplest course will be to
put the question to the young lady
herself. and ask her if she cares
enough about you to become en-

If she consents, her assistance
toward securing you the education

Marriages of this kind, founded on
wholesome tastes in common, are
always very happy. You have my

WHO Is THE MANI

A civic building-that's what we
need: One in which the various
BIG organizations OF the town will
have headquarters; one containing a
REAL auditorium. That's the kind
of a scheme ROBERT N. HARPER
has in mind. All il needs is a BIG
man to take hold Of it-a man not
now engaged in anything that would
conflict with the idea of putting
over" a civic building in Washing
ton.
The Washington times., 1919-05-05
WHICH We print hereWlth:

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
l believe everybody in Washing
ton is right now very much awake
TO the Importance Of this city to
the whole nation.
I believe, too, that people all
over the United States are awake
to the fact that their Capital has
become a world capital, if not the
worlds capital.
Every State in the Union ought
to be represented in the Capital
with something that will tell Wis
iblv and comprehensiveTy the story
Of its people, its industries, its
varied attractions!
A visit to Washington ought to
give a bird's-eye view of all the
United States.
I suggest that the Washington
newspapers undertake campaign
to achieve this result.
With a desire to see something
