public instruction and other men
prominent in the affairs of California
have called on Senator Hiram John

ratified with the treaty straightway.
These men have informed him that
they have heard the presidents mes

considered carefully ali the objections
to ratification but are convinced that
the objections are mot weighty and

that this action accounts in a measure
for the senator's sudden abandonment

SANDRA DECIDES TO DISOBEY
HER HUSBAND.
CHAPTER LxI.

Hot tears scalded my face as I
turned from the telephone. Why had
he told me I was to go with him. only
to disappoint me. Then his message:
DO not accept any invitations or in
vite guests while 1 am away" 1t was
insulting.
I'll ask Mrs. Gray If she (meaning
Leola of course) was not allowed to
receive anyone or go anywhere unless
Everett was with her." I stormed
aloud. 'I don't believe she would
have been so meek, and SO silly as to
let him boss her the way he tries to
mel"
really was more hurt than angry,
however, and threw myself on my bed
and cried bitterly. I thought of the
promised shopping. the plays we were
to see-instead of which 1 was to re-
main alone while he probably saw the
plays, and had a good time in other
ways instead of shopping with me.
What had happened to change his
mind?
raised myself suddenly, my tears
ceased as the thought came to me.
My jealousy flared. Was it because of
some other woman? Someone with
whom he was going to spend his time
his evenings, instead of spending
them with me?
IT would go, He had told me
might, and he had no right to disap-
point me without giving me a reason"
l said aloud. drying my angry tears.
"I'll show him I have some rights as
we'll as that Leola!''
Mrs. Gray had heard me at the tele-
phone, but / was sure she had been
unable TO judge of the conversation
because I had had no opportunity to
object.
"Will you call the car. Mrs. Gray. j
will be down Immediately" / said, and
I turned away so she would not no
tice that 1 had been crying. Send
Hetty to me, please"
Hetty came at once, and cautioned
her to hurry and strap my bag. and
carry it down to the car. I waited

a POLICY OF WASTE.

While the people are being taxed
almost to the limit of endurance and
the government is continuing to bor-
row money at a high rate of interest,
the war department, 1t is understood,
has on hand 47.O0o motor vehicles
which it has held since the signing OF
the armistIoe, November IL last. These
notSR vehicles include trucks and au-
tomobiles; and there is in addition 49,
600 motorcycles on hand. A resoIu-
tion has been prepared and will be re-
ported to the house, ordering the war
department to dispose of the surplus
stock on hand at an early date.
According to Congressman Reavis
the cars have been withheld to pro-
tect the manufacturers, as was done
In, thu case OF food. In addition Mr.,
Reavis charges that the war depart
ment has accepted $175,0OO,OOo worth
of motor vehicles from the manufac-
turers since the signing of the armi-
stice. In this connection. he says:

UP WITH THE BELLS.

/ recently read a most interesting
contribution by Benjamin Franklin to
Paris newspaper. Here is an ex-
tract:
Every morning as soon as the sun
rises let all the bells in every church
be set ringing. and IL that is not suf-
ficient let cannon be fired in every
street to wake the sluggards effectual-
iy and make them open their eyes to
see their true interest"
A fine suggestion to apply these
hundred years later. A good use could
thus be made of the present day ex-
pensive and idle church bells, as well
as the cannon that have for so long
peaied out destruction.
Just think of waking to the peal of
bellsi There would be a host of
earlier risers and millions OF better
workers lead to their work-day.
And in the absence of the sun. on
