GOING TO WE'D? SURE!
"Gobs" Merely Waiting to Be
Mustered Out.
to Marry and Settle
Down.

QuanticO, Va.-American maidens
who have been worrying whether your
marines would pop the question when
they come home, stand Eat ease"
A canvass of marine barracks here
at QuanticO, where 10000 men have
been waiting their chance at the Hun,
made by a reporter for Leatherneck,
the camp paper, shows that 80 per
cent of the single men intend marry
ing when they are discharged. How's
that for good news?
"We're tired of being single. We
want to marry and settle down." is
the consensus of the replies.
These marines, many of whom will
be discharged when the president de-
clares the national emergency no long
er exists, are fitting themselves for
good jobs that will permit them to
wed. Evening business classes are be-
ing held at the Y. NJ. G. A., and ex-
perts are explaining everything from
bookkeeping and shorthand to soil
cultivation and dairying.
The training the men have under
gone admirably fits them for mar
rage. There isn't a marine in the
service who doesn't claim to be able
to wash his clothes whittier than any
woman can ever get them. Every man
can mend and press his own clothes.
And as far as being "handy about the
house," why, most of them can open
a can of tomatoes with a toothpick
and drive nail with feather

HOW WAR GAF.D1.IS HELPED
American "Back-Tcrd Producers" In.
creased Feed Yield in a Degree
That Was Remarkable.

Americas backyard and vacant loi
food producers have come into j
fine harvest. They have increased
the nations wartime food production
and at the same time lessened the
traffic demands On railways by
growing this food near the kitchen
door
Patriotic gardeners this year cul-
tivated 5,2S5.G00 plots, according to
figures made public by the national
war garden commission We hOed in
1,1S5,OOO more gardens this summer
than we did last year. A combination
of patriotic call and high cost Of liv-
ing did it. The value of the garden
product, estimates the commission,
will be 1926 100000
There were more gardens this year,
and the average yield was better.
More of us are learning how to grow
things in our back yards and on near
by vacant lots. Let us keep right on
learning more about gardening.
There's health and money in it.
Those who did not have one of
those 5,2S5.O00 war gardens missed
much. 1t is not too early for them to
plan on a next years garden. More
food in 1919-and as near the kitchen
door as it is possible to grow it. That's
fine wartime slogan.

The scene opens with our brave
bachelor hero alone in his bachelor
apartment-tWO rooms and bath in Hill
tons "One-apartment hotel"
He was wondering if it would be bet
ter to ask the girl who appealed most
to him as possible wife to marry him
and break it to her that she was also
expected to be a StenOgrapher, or
whether it would be better to look up
a good stenographer and having select
ed her for her merits in this capacity
take q chance on the proposition OF
making her his wife. There were two
ways of approaching the situation.
The unaltera5ie facts in the case
were that in his work in one of Hill
TONS recently created war industries
his efficiency was decidedly curtailed
because he had no StenOgrapher, and
that after having used every means he
could think of he had not been able
to find q young woman in town capable
of taking the job who was not already
employed or any conceivable room
where girl from out of town might
be housed. Bradley had gone over pos
sible rooms with tine-tOOth comb.
There were simply none to be had.
Bradley had come six months before
when the boom in Hilton was just
starting, and he had been fortunate
enough to get what at other times
would have been regarded as a rather
dad buy in the way of an apartment.
1t had two rooms, and much as Brad
ley dislked the idea of sharing his
Sanctum with male StenOgrapher, he
had considered the proposition of get

ACCORDING TO THEIR LIGHTS
Savages Ruled by Customs and cere-
monies as UnaIt cradle as Are Be-
Iiefs of the West.

If life in the New Hebrides can be
described in irreduci5le terms of prim-
tive instinct, it is none the less gov
erned by an elaborate ritual Of tribal
ceremony, by the powerful influence Of
taboo, by customs as rigid and impreg-
nable as the towering forest faStneSs.
That the old are buried alive is as
right and orderly to the truculent saw
age as that night follows day, or that
warrior dies by the hand of his enemy
if he does not first speed his own ar
row. Against this barrier of dark
faiths and unprobed certainties, the
wanderer from the West, with his trou-
bled vision and ever-restless feet,
throws up for himself but a flimsy
cOunter-illusiOn of civilization. Let his
trading SchOOnerS make their perilOuS
voyages through the channels, darling
in and out of the nameless, land-locked
harbOrs. Let him spread his net of
pearls, tortoise shell, beche de mer,
copra, sandalwood, or perhaps a hui
man cargo destined for the great labor
markets East and West, leaving in
their place the cheap product of fac
tories, or, better still, secretly, guns
and ammunition The chances are that
one day his fate will find him out. And
if the time should come when he re-
turns no more to that same civiliza-
ton which betrayed him in an ultimate
need to the savages Of an obscure
island whose only costume is neck
lace, his death will merely cancel an
outstanding account-Gertrude Emer-

Undersea Pipe Line for OIL.

Tank steamers are loaded with oil
on the Mexican coast by means Of un-
dersea pipes, sometimes over mile
long. The record is broken by two
lines each two and one-half miles long,
recently. installed about seventy miles
south of Tampico. This method of load
ing is made necessary by the character
of the coast in the vicinity of the oil
fields. There are no harbors deep
enough to accommodate tank vessels,
and the water alongshOre is shallow
for a mile or more out to sea. The oil
pipes lie on the sea bottom and con-
nection is made with the tank ship at
the outer end by means of flexible
metal hose. The line is fully connect
ed on shore and is then towed out to
sea by a tug.-Literary Digest.

living room. But male stenographers
were simply not to be had.
There was still the idea of sharing
the apartment left, and simply because
it was the only possible solution Brad
ley decided he would have to marry his
StenOgrapher and share his quarters
with her or make Il Sten0grapher of
a wife. He had come home to decide
the best method OF procedure He
drew Il coin from his pocket and then
tipped it and leaned over to see how
fate had decided for him.
He had settled that if it came up
heads he would ask Molly Drew in his
home town to consider the proposition.
She wasn't 4 stenogrdpher, but she had
learned TO type in 81 Jol and she could
take care OF his correspondence.
He fattered himself that the idea of
becoming Mrs. Blake might not be en-
tirely distasteiul TO her. The coin
came up tails. That meant that he
should make his selection according to
the ability Of the young woman as il
secretary, and then somehow, throw in
the marrying idea. Yes the coin had
come up tails; but after Bradley had
pOcketed it again he decided to ask
Molly Drew, anyway.
That is why he took the eleven
o'clock train back to the home town
and by nine O'Clock the next morning
had telnphOned to Molly to tell her that
he had something important to say to
her. BY ten he was at the Drew house.
Then he and Molly started walking in
the autumn air.
1t was very difficult to say what he
had to say in tactful way, and per-
haps he bungled it. At any rate, ten
minutes after he had begun with,
molly, 1 have something important to
ask YOU he realized that he was walk
ing beside a rather irate young wOm-
an, who kept her face turned from
him and he was making silent vows to
himself that after that he would obey
the dictates of Tipped coin.

said. "Now that I can be of use to

HOW TO MEET MIDDLE AGE
imperative That One Should Keep Up
With the Procession of Human
Thought.

Margaret Deland gives some useful
advice on how to meet middle age in
such manner as to insure future hap
piness. Among other things, she says ::
ITO hold on to our appreciation of
nature, we must spur our dull and lag
ging memory of beauty; to keep our
appreciation Of human nature, we
must refuse to be laid on the shelf; we
must keep up with the procession Of
human thought. Only so can we see
the sweat, the tears and smiles Of our
fellOw-creatures.
"TheSe are the two tasks of middle
age; if we perform them wOrthily our
souls will mover grow old. And, plain
ly, it is up to u.s. as these slangy
youngsters of ours express tit is up
to us to keep young; to make sure
that our inner vision is open to beau
ty; and to the joy and sorrow, the
squalor and glory of our fellows. If
we do this, the compensation is i'm
mediate!
$50, what difference does it make if
the body is rheumatic and nearSight-
ed-and a little deaf when it comes to
the song sparrows; what do such
things matter, if the eyes of the soul
still see that crater mirroring the sky,
if the ears of the spirit hear the birds
note in dawn and dew?
Nor does it matter that the body
declines a game of tennis and shudders
at a plunge into the surf when the
thermometer registers only 80 degrees
If the body's tenant is able to say
to the young people, Go ahead Have
a good time! But take my word for
it.
