CHAPTER J..

AS usual nowadays, instead of
knocking at the door Fate called up
on the telephone.
Though the bell shrilled almost in
Mrs. Hips ear she would not answer
it. She WINGED, shook her head, agi-
tated her rocking chair with petulance,
embroidered vindictively, and hardly
so much called out as sighed very
loudly toward the hallway:
Daphne! Ooh, Daphne! the tele-
phone again!"
On the stairs there sounded q
muffled scurry like the rush Of an
April shower chased down q hillside
by the SUM-. An %allegory Of April dart
ed across the room and raised the tel
ephone to her lips rs if it were q
beaker of good cheer.
Her mother was used to this humor
of Daphne's and paid no heed till a
sudden frost chilled the warm tone of
the girls voice. The smile of hospi-
tality wasted On the telephone had
given place to a look of embarrass-
ment.
Mrs. Kip whispered a%nxiously, "Who
is it,"
Daphne motioned her not to inter-
rupt, and her voice grew deep and
ipportant. 1t became what her brother
Bayard called her reception voice."
In her grandest contrhlto she said:
"This is Miss Kip. Yes, I have. Yes,
he does. I beg pardon? Oh!-Oh! Oh!
How do you do, Mr.. Wmbwm."
"Mr. Who?" her mother keened.
Daphne whispered to quiet her, "a
young man from New York-friend of
Bayard's-same office. 1 haven't got
his name yet"
|Into the telephone she was saying,
and bowling and nodding the while
with her politest face. "Indeed I'll try
to be. Of course Cleveland's not New
York, but By the way, do you
dance? That's good. That's right
might as well be deaf if you don't !
How long will you be in Cleveland?
Oh, is that all? Well, then, you must
come out here and have tea with US
this very afternoon. I'll call for you
at the hotel in my little car No; it's
mot one of those; it's an electric. I
run it myself. Afraid to risk it!
Brave man! I'll be there in fifteen
minutes, and you might be on the
steps. Goodby, Mr.. Wmbwm."
This last was said in the fond tone
of ancient friendship, and she hung
up the receiver with a gesture like
shaking hands.
She turned to find her mother thin.
ming her lips in a long, tight line; her
cheeks bulged explosively. Daphne
forestalled her:
"He's a young fellow in the same

business for ten days. Bayard told
him to call me up and tell me to be
nice to him. That sounds like By
Also said he hadn't time to write. That

SORTS that Make Men

Handling the Ball.
BY H. o. (PAT) PAGE.

The most fundamental thing in
basketball is the method of handling
the ball.
The long spot pass is a is to 20
yard overhead pass. The delivery
should be from the shoulder similar
to that of an overland pitcher. The
ball rolls off the tips of the fingers
so as to give back spin. The back
spin makes it easier to catch. If
long pass is under hand, it travels
in 4 low plane and can De easily
blocked and will also be fumbled on
account of the under spin which
makes the ball difficult to grasp.
The side arm pass is used mostly
in cross court play and should be
made with a side step. Accuracy
can be obtained with a 10-yard pass,
one or both hands being used in
delivery. The pass travels above the
waist and should be about shoulder
high.
The short pass is 4 three to six
yard snappy pass, about waist high.
Both hands are used in delivery with
arms fully extended. A wrist snap
will do away with the spin off the
finger tips.
The bounce pass is used for very
short work. Small men against tall
opponents get good results. The
delivery generally calls for a feint
move of the body, the ball generally
leaves both hands. If a single
handed bounce is used do not put
too much spin on it.
Not only is the bounce used as
pass; the dribble is a series of
bounces. In 4 slow dribble, the
bounce is high. The shoulder-high
bounce allows time to dodge. The
ordinary dribble calls for bounces
about waist high and in rapid sue
cession. The ball must be released
by a wrist push toward the floor be-
fore the foot leaves the floor for the

Revivine International Trade.

That Americas export trade for the current
year will reach the unprecedented total of SILL.
000,000,000 is matter for congratulation, be-
cause it indicates the course of industry. A
large part of the increase over the prewar
trade, so far as the total goes, is attributable to
higher prices but not all. We have actually
produced and sent abroad more goods and
wares than ever before.
Something else is involved. Great Britain's
export trade continues to lead Americas We
have thought of the British industry and COM
merce as more completely disorganized than
our own, yet the total reported export trade of
the United Kingdom is placed at billion dol
lars above that of the United States This in
dicates considerably greater recovery than
had been expected. Another development is of
much interest
While the exchange rate has dropped very
low, and the governments on both sides have
wisely determined to do nothing to interfere
with or support by artificial stimulation the for
eign trade of either country, recovery is being
brought about in a natural way. A British loan
of $250,000,000 recently foated in America
leaves that government at the present with
credit balance Of $150000,000 on this side In
addition the prewar investments of the British
are now coming forward as their great asset.
In 1918 between twenty and twenty lone billions
of foreign securities were owned by the British
This total has been reduced by liquidation and
through other causes to about fifteen billions,
the annual income from which is not far from
a billion dollars. This tidy sum is available for
the financing of British trade through private
channels
Financiers admit that the situation as re-
CARDS foreign trade is in far better shape than
might have been expected. Americans, how
ever, have ceased to be debtors and are now
creditors with good opportunity to increase
their foreign holdings and thus establish their
prestige on frmer foundation. The future
looks very bright for our exporters.

How a Jap Baby Boy Gets His Name.

In Japan an odd system prevails in regards
to the naming of boys. The child receives his
first name when he is just a month old. Then
three different names are written on three slips
of paper and thrown into the air in the temple
while prayers are addressed to the family dety
That which falls first to the ground bears the
name the child is called until he is years old
Then he receives new name At Is the
japanese boy receives another name in honor
of his coming of age. His name is changed again
on the occasion of his marriage and on any ad-
vance in his position. Even mortal illness does
not aid this confusing state of affairs, for when
death comes name is given him by which pre-
sumably lie is to be known in the spirit world

lucky democrat Judge Yates Webb, who has

other of $500 or better. So, if his successor

to the administration the bitterness of the re-

Organizing State of Mind.

The plan outlined by the attorney general
of the United States for combating the high
cost of living has some attractions. 1t also has
few drawbacks.
\ Mr.. Palmer has correctly summed up the
situation as it exists, and has existed since the
trouble first came to be felt The wealthy and
the wage earners are not materially affected by
the cost of living. They meet it by added prof
its or increased wages. Between them is a
stratum of so-caled "salaried" people or in
dividuals with fixed income, who can not by
any hocus pocus turn one dollar into two On
these the burden has fallen
Adjuring them to be economical to save in
all ways, to wear out old clothing, buy the
cheapest, and so on is time wasted. The bitter
fact that the purchasing power of their income
is cut in half long ago drove them to adopt
every expedient for saving money Many of
them even have ceased to try to keep up ap-
pearances," and frankly confess their inability
to live as they used to-
Therefore Mr.. Palmer's appeal must be made
to those who seemingly can afford to pay
the, high prices. If crusade is directed against
extravaganza it must be organized amongst the
workers and the wealthy. This does not mean
that wages are to be reduced, but that produc-
ton should be increased, so that there will be
more to divide. 1t also includes change in
buying habits. Prohteering may be based on
greed, but it thrives on carelessness. The pur-
chaser is as blameworthy in most cases as the
seller. What the attorney general plans is to
organize a state of mind that will lead to 4
lower price level through the path of careful
buying. This will be good for everybody

cREDuL1rY A COMMON LOT.

We will probably hear \ great deal for the
next few days In regard to the credulity OF
those folks who fancied something dreadful
might come to pass because of the accidental
position of the planets. That nothing unusual
did happen will confirm the wiseacres in their
attitude Of superiority, and the simple minded
will be dealt with in various fashions.
III trusting belief in the physical influence
of the planets one on the other were the limit
Of mankind's gullibility, the affair could easily
be laughed away. Unfortunately, we find men
and women too, Of what the poet called the
"sapient eye serene" who implicitly trust in
things as ridicuously absurd to others as was
the fear Of 4 cataclysm on Wednesday.
1t is not trifing superstitions that bother
the world, but fixed and determined beliefs in
larger way resting on a foundation of less or
more than human experience from which flow
the trouble in the world Mankind's aspira-
tons are born of faith rather than Of fact, and
out of faith flows that active element that pro-
duces'the prey for the charlatan, the quack and
the sharper, whether they deal in spiritual, in
tellectual or physical wares.
Credulity is common lot, and the men and
women who feared the end of the world might
come with planetary crash are not alone in
their condition. The man who does not trust
in others does not trust himself, and misses
lot of the joy of life because he has no faith.
Ignorance gives birth to superstition, and sus-
tains the grotesque and fantastic ideas that
thrive among the uniformed. Enlightened
faith buoys up the hope of humanity for better
things to come, both here and hereafter, and
lights the way of the race to higher achieve
