The intelligence and devotion of dogs
have been illustrated recently both at
Oskaloosa and Clinon. The old Glen

in the summer. 1t was owned by Mar

IA, and Leslie, aged 4, were sleeping in
the structure. Along after midnight
they were awakened by the dog barking
and whining and jumping upon the bed.
The building was on fire. Melvin car

Herring field northwest OF. the city on
the Camp Dodge paved highway just
east of the Meryl Hay road. 1t was at
first decided that the landing should be
on the drill ground at Ft. DeS NOines,
but there being no paved road reaching
all the way from the city this was giv-
en- up. Immediately upon landing
government motor truck will bring the
mail to the city post office. 1t is esti-
mated that within 25 mnues after the
mail is unloaded at Herring field it will
he at the city post office. The schedule
has not yet been perfected but it is eX-
pected that 12 hour run from New
York to Des Moines will be made. That
will get the mail from the east here "a
hours quicker than at present. Air
planes cannot travel after night and
the starting time will be such as to give
the longest possible stretch of daylight.
It is planned to extend the service to

been made. 1t is planned to make Des

ROMANCE

It had been decided hat Aunt
Grace. who had been making her two
brothers a long visit, was to go home
the first of June, and Peter was to go
with her. Peter was perfectly happy
except for n thing. Aunt Grace was
not happy at all and the lieutenant
never came any more. Peter decided
hat even though Mr.. Henshaw had
stopped acting like he owned Aunt
Grace, she was too proud to ask the
lieutenant to come back and he was
too proud to come without being ask
ed.
As far as Mr.. Henshaw and Aunt
Phoebe were concerned things were
going beautifully. Hal was perfectly
crazy about her and she was very
sweet and motherly to him. 1t was
easy to see that Mr.. Henshaw was
very much gone on her, too, but she
was quite shy. All they need to get
engaged, thought Peter sagely, is a
right good chance, and he kept his
eye peeled for hat chance.

on the front porch looking at the
funnies in the evening paper when
Aunt Phoebe came up the walk.
"Sit down." he said Hospitality.
Here's the paper and I'll see if 1 can
find Mama"
He ran around the back way to
Mr.. Henshaw's house. Mr.. Henshaw
was watering the lawn.
Hello" called Peter, Mama and
Papa over here? Aunt Phoebe is
over home and wants to see Mama"
Mr.. Henshaw waited to hear 10
more. He departed in haste to the
Palmer's leaving the water running.
Fifteen minutes later Peter peered
cautiously around the corner of the
porch. Mr.. Henshaw and Aunt Phoe-
be were seated on the railing in the
darkest corne behind the red ram
bier. Peter Slipped into the library.
"Six-six-nine-seven," he told CEN
trail. Hello, Lieutenant Harley?
Well, this is Peter. Mr.. Henshaw is
kissing Aunt Phoebe on the front
porch. Aunt Grace is in the arbor
alone. Go to it."
The phone clicked and in about
seven minutes Peter heard the purr
of the li~eutenant's car.

Many c~onfusions upset my nerves.
1 had a headache which lasted
was half sick and altogether use
less. 1t was always so, when a woman
hesitates and debates about her du-
ties. l had seen whole families sac
rifced to the moods of some waver-
ing and confused female member
who martyred herself and everybody
else to her own indecision. Generally
she pitied herself and demanded uni
versal sympathy or account OF her
nerves.
One fact remained on top of my
swirling thoughts. I knew thai py
the side of every woman stalks a
shadow: Her Ideal Self! The Wom-
an She Might Be!
And 1 realized, soberly and sorrow
fully, that I had departed a long way
from my ideal self. from the bride
and wife I ought to be. I liked to
think thai I was direct by nature,
that I moved in straight lines. But
ever since 1 had first become en-
tangled in the intrigue which wrap
ped Certeis like an atmosphere, L a
got out of touch with my ideal SELF.
7 had become as artificial as the
warm tan complexion l put on every
morning. How I hated it, intrigue
and all!

ments.

should have won Bob back, I would
throw over forever all such minor in
terests as the hoard of gems hidden
in the hold of the U-boat, and Chrys
marriage to a possible spy. Even the
activities of the u. s.. secret service
would not be materially hampered,
