Ambition! Ambition is that emo

your being a desire to acquire the
ideals which are, in your estima-

accomplishments you could possess.
This desire ever urges you onward.
for it's realization does not come in
leaps and bounds, but through daily
efforts and tests which prove or dis

What are my hopes. my dreams and
ambitions? The question is both diff
cult and simple to answer. Am l able
to do these things? Nothing is i'm
possible. yet all things may be. But
in the following lines I shall attempt
to state what 1 wish to do and why
and how.
Long years ago, when I was only
seven years old, I began to dream of
beautiful home for my home folks.
The dream grew and when was nine
years old l wrote a long business let
ter to real estate agent containing
plans for the house, materials desired
and asking for prices. The heartless
man did not answer my letter, which
hurt me very much. The dream re-
mained, however. and l tried from
then until two years ago to persuade
my parents to do something. Circum-
stances went against them and moth
ing was done.
Then made another plan. I would
go to college when 1 finished high
school: then with the nice salary /
could earn 1 would buy my mother a
lovely home.
This plan has changed, too. My
dream of a home Is almost realized
f1ve years ahead Of time,
Thanks to the Western Union and
the war. 1 was able to learn teIe-
graph work last summer ond con-
tinue it as a part-time operator on
might trick" when school was In
session; and saved enough money to
make payment on a piece of property
and my first years tuition. and last,
but not least. to finish paying on my
piano. another nine-year-old dream.
So that now, when l hit the trail
for college this fall, I'll go leaving my
mother and father with a roof over
their heads and with the knowledse
that the money they pay as rent
means so much on the home, and
each monthly payment strikes off a
little time from the day it'll be
theirs. l also go seeing my little
sister practicing her music on the
piano.
That is a comfortable background
for the coming years OF hard study
at chemistry. and I know that 1 can
work my way through college be-
cause nothing is impossible and all
thigs come to him who waits, work.

My new dreams for the future are
rather vague. just as those Just real

JAMES RIVER MYSTERY.
Former Army Surgeon, Wanted tor
Ux0reide. May be in Mexico

Richmond, Va, Jan. 27.-One OF the
most mysterious crimes in the his
tory OF the South is believed to
be near solution in the identification
of the body of a young woman found
on the bank of the James River De-
cember 80, as that of Mrs. Sue hath-
leen Hadley.
She was the talented and attractive
wife of Dr.. Wilmer Amos Hadley,
former army surgeon, who has dis
appeared and is now being sought in
Texas and other States.
Mrs. Hadley, before her marriage
five years ago, was prominent in Gin
cinnati social and literary circles.
Dr.. Hadley disappeared from Rich
mond December 6, just twelve days
after his wifc's disappearance. On
November "a she left her apartment
here apparently to take walk. Three
hours later he returned alone and told
neighbors she had suddenly accepted
an invitation to accompany friends
touring through Richmond en- route
for Pittsburgh.
Several days after DR.. Hadley's
disappearance, his. wife's sister, Mrs.
A. H. Evans, of Cincinnati, received
a letter from him dated December
Z FROM Atlanta, Ga, which stated
that his wife had died in San Juan
on November! "a, and that he had
buried her body there in the Ameri-
can cemetery.
!. DR.. Hadley received his discharge
: here on December 5.
The woman's body, when found, was
entangled in the roots of a tree on
the banks of the james River When
the body was found the glove on the
woman's left hand had been split and
partly torn, off. Indicating, the police
believe, that rings were torn from the
fingers. !, ii. developed that some time
subsequent to Mrs. Hadley's disap-
. pearance DR.. Hadley had diamond
reset from a women's setting into
mans setting at local jewelry store.
DR.: Hadley was last heard from in
Texas, where he was located on
ranch, but officials express fear that
he may have crossed the border into
Mexico.
