a member of the 'Why Marry"

it was The Lion and the Mousse
and MI. Fairbanks, then a young
man, consulted with Mr.. Breese about
the theater as a profession.
After many questions and much adj

What was best for me to do, accept

ton which she was so palpably ignor-

knew her horror of anything like
a scene was equal to my own, and l
dreaded the possibility of risking her
displeasure without securing the par
don I craved. But my horror of my
self was too great to go away from
my friend without a. word. I went up
to her impetuou sly, and crushed he1
hands in mine, looking into her clear
eyes with my own full of remorsefuI

Lillian withdraw her hands from

time With all the old warmth in their
loving clasp as she drew me to a seat
beside her on one of the big couches
and soothed me until the force Of my
sobbing was spent.

I was quiet, well just settle this

SAVE MONEY ON

From Foochow, China, comes this
letter from r. E. Gardner, Foochow
College: "Ne6lin Soles have solved the
shoe problem for me. Other soles wore
out quickly on the rocky roads here,
and [ had no end of trouble with
them" he writes.
Where other soles fail, Neolin Soles
always stand the test of hard wear and
rough usage. This fact points the way
to economy. Buy Neolin-soled shoes
for the whole family, and so save shoe
money. And have Neolin Soles put on
your old shoes, too.
These durable, flexible, and water
proof soles are scientifically made by

ROADS SHOULD PAY | FOR Director Hines Will Tell the House Committee This
 Week of His Plans
By Associated Press


 Washington June S.-Railroads under federal control should be required to re- turn to the government "as rapidly as practicable" $775,0O GOO advanced for im- provements and equipment Director Gen. eral Hines to the house appropriations committee at his appearance last week, according to the printed record of the hearings which became public today
 These improvements have. been made for the benefit of the railroad compa- 1ies," the director general said There is derived a very great benefit from government control, guarantee of a rem tai which represented the average of probably the best three years they ever had, instead of having to face, as pub lie utilities throughout the country did, the danger of imminent bankruptcy on account of the great increases in costs. When the railroad administration has put in funds with which to pay the railroad companies what it owes them my judgment is that they ought to be required, just as rapidly as possible, to reimburse the government for these large amounts that have been spent and as far as possible to reimburse the government for the amounts which will be spent dur l ing the rest of this calendar year.
 Our settled policy is that for the fu- railroad properties unless the railroads ! undertake to finance them, except in ex- ! treme cases where an improvement is absolutely necessary and where the com panies are wholly unable to finance it.'

Dunn Urges City to Get

Says This First Time in 36 Years That City of Bming ham Has Had Absolutely Not Dollars Worth

there are miles and miles of open ways called streets with from six inches to sev- eral feet of mud to travel through and when the sun shines for few days the dust is just as deep.
 Knowing that these improvements must be made or the city will go backwards why not do something now? have had my office here for more than 36 years and this is the first time that I can remem- Der that the city has absolutely not one dollars worth of public improvements go- ing on.
 Lots of good men are leaving the city every day now going north and west where they are calling for laborers These men should be given employment right here at home. The city officials say nothing much will be done as long as labor and materials are so high. The ma terial men say they will not sell for less until panic forces them to do so, and the laborer can not be expected to work for very much less when it takes more than two dollars to buy as much as one a few years ago. Our public men who are in charge of things must be big enough and broad enough to grasp things as they are. Not wait and say to the world our city is finished, but throw off their coats and do something NOW
 Yours very truly,

BOTH SIDES CLAIM
 GAINS AT WINNIPEG
Strike Leaders Claim Settle ment in Sight, While Citi-
 zens Will Continue Fight.
By Associated Press

Winnipeg, June S.-While strike leaders today were appealing to waver- ing union men to stand firm because a settlement is in sight" the Winnipeg citizens committee of 1000 announced that the sympatheic3 strike phase of the industrial deadlock will be fought to a knock-out."
 The industrial employers declined to approve as a basis of settlement, the collective bargaining plan submitted by the mediating railway brotherhoods executives, it was announced. The metal thades accepted the plan last week.
 Declaractions were made at the Board of Trade that hundreds of men and women would return to work to- morrow, now that returned soldiers have eliminated the weapon of intim- idation" Union leaders, however, as serted the striking forces are standing firm.
 An unconfirmed report tonight was that railway carmen. machinists and sleeping car employees had decided to return to work immediately. Winnipeg commercial telegraphers tonight post poned until Tuesday their vote on all union operators returning to work. Twenty-Five operators who opposed postponement said they would return to their places tomorrow
 The controversy between the city and members of the policemen's union is set for final consideration tomorrow morning. The police commission de- manded the patrolmen sign pledge not to participate in general sympa- thetic strikes in the future. The of- ficers refused but have been attempt ing to arbitrate the question.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 was much impressed with your edi- torial yesterday in reference to so many men, especially soldiers, being out of work. This. of course, applied to the negro soldiers with as much force as to the white. The negro labor is not often beggar but no day goes by now that from one to a dozen men come into our office and ask for little money to help along until work starts up."
 Now, MT. Editor, do you and the public generally know that this city with a population of over 200000 people is abso- lutely not doing one stroke of public work of any kind? Not one dollar s worth; think of it! How can the common day laborer, who has nothing but his daily earnings, be expected to pay his house rent in advance unless he is given work of some kind? I am not in favor of giving men work just to say that they have employment, but l do say that the city should do things now that should be done. Thousands, yes, hundreds of thou sands of dollars must be spent here with in little while in constructing and re- constructing both storm and sanitary sewers or else the people will be forced to move to the surrounding mountains, seeking the protection which nature of fers to approaching disease.

 The decision now rests" said MT. Taft, with the American people, by whose judgment in the last analysis, members of the United States Senate will be guided. We believe that the American people is resolved to do whatever is possible in order to avert repitition of the disaster that has scared humankind.
 We have no doubt that the decision of the American people, and therefore of the American Senate, will be in favor of Americas participation in the league of nations. Unless America par ticipate, there will be no league worthy of the name. If America will have a part therein, the league of nations will be esta blished and peace through jus tice will have become possible for all nations, great and small"

DESPERATE BATTLE
 WITH FLAMES TAXES <. PLACE IN M|D-OCEAN
Two Lives Are Lost on the British Tanker Beech Leaf, Which Was
 TOwed IT,.
By Associated Pres,

New York. June S.-The story of 8 desperate battle with flames in mid ocean in which two men lost their lives was told today by members of the crew of the British tanker Beech Leaf, which was lowed into port by the transport West Haven.
 The Beach Leaf, bound from Baton Rouge, La., to Ireland, took fire off the Azore islands a week ago when an oil fuel line broke Her engines were quickly put out of commission by the flames. her rudder control dis abled and wireless sending equipment destroyed.
 The French steamer Chaleur stood by but after working two days in a heavy sea to get line to the Beech Leaf, sent out a wireless call for as sistance. The West Haven responded and despite the rough weather Capt c. w. DevereauX ran his ship close enough to the helpless vessel to throw her line.
 During the trip to New York the captain of the Beech Leaf informed Captain Devereaux by semaphore sig nals that two of the crew had been badly burned while fighting the fire. Captain Devereaux lowered a small boat and sent a physician to treat them but he was unable to save their lives. Captain Devereaux stopped the West Haven and her tow for a half hour while funeral services were read and the bodies buried at sea.
 The West Haven brought cargo of German artillery and ammunition accompanied by American divisions. Two 40-ton railroad gun carriages, which were too large to be slowed away in the ships hold were lashed to the deck.
 An ordnance party of eight men un- der command of Capt Frank c. Van Etten of Chicago had charge of the military property and men,
