He was looking at her with such 4
world Of meaning in his eyes that
her own dropped before his gaze and
her heart leaped with Joy that he,
should care so much about her. The
schwatzes at. ;that moment seemed 2
thing far away and not at all to be
| feared, since ne cared SO much. Ills
caring shut her away tom Sall fear
like beautiful robe Of protection.
! There WAS tso much Joy, after all,
mingled with the pain Of the parting
that on the way to Philadelphia Mrs.
Stevens studied the girls face IN
some doubt. Did she care after all
for the boy who had gone away to
boys face and she knew he was
deeply interested In this girl. Was
the ki-l as much interested, or was
| she Just a good friend who had not
yet awakened to, the. great things Of
life? >Well. 1t was just as we'll. for
the child would not have to suffer SO
much.~ Yet as she studied the sweet
ed without seeing the flying land
scape the mother wondered after all
! il there were not something deeper
/ behind that sweet smile than just q
passing happiness for the pleasant
times that were suddenly surround
ing her after the hard summer. She

soldiers eyes as he said goodby. The
future would have to tell! She was
very we'll. satisfied to have her boy
interested in a girl like this. Sweet
and strong and unselflsh, with fine
am bitions, and a will to accomplish
them. She was going to have good
deal of pleasure herself with the girl
and her mother. She had always
wanted a. daughter. and this giri was
beautiful things for her! Yet she
knew in her heart that both mother
and girl were too self-respecting to
allow much to. be done for them. It
would just have to be a case of being
q dear friend and slipping in help
where it would seem perfectly natur-
al; and she had to confess, too. that
she liked them all the better for that.
| Thus Hilda, with pleasant thoughts
and much wonder in her heart over
the way things were turning out,
went on her, way back to Philadel-
phia She could not help contrasting
herself with the little girl in tho
brown denim can who travelled that
way alone so short a time before,
when she caught a glimpse of her.
self in a mirror Of the parlor car.
The slim elegant little figure that sat
back ;luxuriously in the big chair,
perfect in every dainty appointment
Of her toilet and her travelling ac-
cessories, seemed. such a contrast TO
the Schwarzes' hired girl running
away to tell the President, that she
laughed aloud. -
Her companion turned wondering
eyes upon her.
ST was just thinking, Mrs. Stevens.
how astonished Mrs Schwarz would
be if she could see me now!" she said
with little ripple of laughter.

BANK CLERKS ooNiPI.A11.

London, Nov. 24.-Many thousands
of bank clerks here will shortly be-,
come part of the great army of trade
unionists. Their chief grievance is
the continued employment OF girls in
places formerly held by men. They
say they do not object to fair compe-
tition with women who accept mems
jobs at mems pay. but. they state,
the tendency. now is for girls employ
ed temporarily during the war to be
taken on the permanent staffs to the
detriment Of former soldiers seeking
Unemployment.
They object to the placing Of bank
clerks returning from the army in
positions subordinate to women who
have taken their places during their
absence. -

COMPROMISES ESSENTIAL

In his recent address on the Peace
Treaty, Senator Borah OF Idaho re-
siterates the opinion that he has often
expressed in the past that the United
States ought not to become a member
tof the proposed league Of Nations or
iof any other league Of nations. What
ever may be tho spirit Of Mr.. Borah'a
arguments he has at least been con-
ssistent in his opposition to the league.
;He disapproves it from beginning to
end, and views with regret what he
considers to be the certainty that II
will be adopted In some form.
Il. In the earlier part Of his address
Mr. Borah calls attention to a dec-
sIaration BY Lincoln shortly before his
Inauguration as president, whom the
shadow Of Civil war was beginning to
epread across the land. A friend
wrote to him from Washington for
instructions and Mr.. lincoln wrote
back In a single line: Entertain no
compromise: have mono of IT. That.
says Mr.. Borah, is where he stands,
and where he has stood from the be-
ginning with reference to the League
OF Nations.
4 Toward the close of his address Mr..
Borah glorified tho American con-
s,itution and its founders. He seems
to have forgotten that the very con-
stitution under which he lives today.
and which with good reason he ven
crates so greatly, is itself the result
OF compromise on every important
item that it contains. The confer
ence which. framed 1t differed not at
all from other conferences charged
with similar work in that it found it
& necessary in order to produce any re-
suits whatever to modify, and cut. and
lit, until the result should come rea-
! sonably near being acceptable to the
majority.
There Is no parallel between the
! problem which confronted Lincoln,
and the problems which confronted
/ tho trainers Of the constitution, or
that which confronts us today. Lin
coln had to deal with situation In
I which the very existence Of the ma
ton was nenaced. He had to deter
mine not how the nation should live,
but whether It should live or die. He
determined that it should live. and on
4 that issue he rejected all suggestion OF
compromise. The men, who framed
the constitution were dealing with the
creation OF a new thing. Probably
there was ono ideal way for that to
be done. but there were thousands OF
ways falling somewhat short Of the
ideal which could be adopted, and
which would answer tho purpose. One
OF these ways was chosen. sin1ilarily
I in the creation OF the League of Ma
tons there may be one best way, and
that unattainable. Short Of that there
are numerous ways in which a useful
organization may be perfected unless
We accept the dictum of Mr.. Borah
which 10 that any plan for any league
lis utterly nonstrous. and not to be
considered. .a

THE BATTLE OF Bp1FoRr.

According to The Home Sector:
Now that st. Mihiel, and the war It.
self, have passed into history. the
story can be told Of the American
Battle of Belfort.
& General Pershing and a certain
major general Of the A. e. F. are the
real masters Of the secret Of the Bat
tie OF Bel6ort which, for reasons
which are obvious, has hitherto re-
,natned unrevealed.
Tho German high command know
early in September, 1918, that an at
tack was coming from the ntassed
divisions OF the United states-and
the American high command knew
the Germans knew It, Furthermore It
wss surmised that the German high
command had some sort of an idea
OF whore the newly created First
American army was going to strike.
Il was at this time that an American
major general, accompanied by his

fort on the Alsace front, 1so kilome-
ters from st. Mihiel. They were pos

that the president has too much work

that 1t would therefore devolve ON q

ages. 1t is joined in the request by
the Florida State Pharmaceutical As

profession at heart, and who believes
in its ethical practice, join with us in
this protest.
I'VE ask you to urge your repre-
sentatives in the legislature to use
their influence to so amend the law

Mr.. MEMMlNGER LEAVES
SOON ON BIG MISSION

Yesterdays Plant City Courier
says:
c. G. Mcmminger, president of the
Coronet Phosphate Company has
been at his Coronet home several
days, but is making final preparations
to leave within a fow days for Eu-
rope on a mission Of great !mpor-
lance. Mr.. Memminger, as hereto
fore announced in the press has been
appointed by Secretary Redfeld OF
the Department Of Commerce to fist
the European Countries, inrluding
Scandinavia and Italy, and make
thorough investigation Of the need Of
American phosphate in those coun.
tries and how to supply the demand.
This appointment was not only a
signal recognition Of MIR. Memmin-
gers ability in this, one Of Florida's
greatest industries, but is OF great
interest in this section, because q
large part of the phosphate produced
in America is mined from Hillsbor-
ough and Polk counties. The Times
Unions says:
Florida newspapers, commenting
upon the appointment Of c. G. Mem
minger, by. the commerce department
of the Government, to 60 abroad and
study the needs of the European coun-
tries in the matter of phosphate, are
convinced that the selection Of Mr..
Memminger is most fortunate. The
president Of the we'll Known Coronet
Phosphate Company, banker, large
land owner and progressive citizen,
he has always been active in good
work for the State. His knowledge
of the phosphate industry is probably
not surpassed by anyone, and his gen.
eral information is extensive and val
liable. The government has chosen
wisely in selecting for this important
work man whose ability, integrity
and enterprise are thoroughly under
stood wherever his name is known"
