City's Standard Too
High, Milk Men Strike

KANSAS CITY, July 27.-Mlk com
panies today grabbed labor's weapon and
struck against enforcement OF a city
ordinance prescribing the grade Of milk
to be sold.
The city was virtually without milk
when the firms refused to send their
wagons out on the routes.
The companies said they took the
action when city officials announced much
of the milk distributed as grade A was
below the standard.
They claimed they were unable TO de-
liver a better grade.
They expected pressure by consumers
to force city officials into revocation of
the ordinance.

CHANGE LOCATION
OF NURSES HOME
Building to Be Erected on
West Hospital Grounds.

Following a conference at the City
Hospital last night between the board Of
health and w. Earl Russ, architect. the
location of the proposed nurses home
to be erected on the City Hospital
grounds was changed to the west side of
the grounds.
The tentative location, chosen by the
board Of health was at the northeast
corner of the grounds, bounded by Tenth
and Locke streets and the boulevard.
Mr.. Russ, after making a careful sur
vey of the grounds and external CON
ditions decided that the location was I'M
suitable, owing to the poor outlook and
being too near the driveways of the hos
pital and consequently too noisy.
Building at this location would remove
the home from the proximity of the
other units of the hospital buildinsz.
The location is in line with the two
new BurdsaI units which were erected
In 1913 and 1914.
1t is about $50 yards from the To-
cation chosen by the board.
It was said by DIR. Morgan city health
officer, that it was expected that the
aFCulJeCC WOuiQ nave SkeLCneS OIL Tue
building by some time early in Sep
TENDER, when estimates for the bids could
be made.
The building is to cost between 100000
and $4,000, and win house $50 nursee
when used to capacity.
According to Mr.. Russ who discussed
the plans informally, the building will
be one of the most complete Of its kind
in the country.
The necessity for such a building IL
apparent, DR.. Morgan said. when 1t fs
known that nurses now employed at
the City hospital actually have no home
like surroundings as to rooms and recre-
alton, outside of unprepossessing sleep
ing quarters and a photograph for
amusement.
There are sixty eight nurses now on
duty at the hospital with the number
Of patients running from 100 to 800
Those in attendance at the conference
were DR.. Morgan, DR.. Catch, DR.. Gar
rett. DIR. Smiley, W T. Russ, architect,
and DR. T. Victor Ke lne, representing

Corner drew momentarily more near,
the TRANSMISSION which she termed the
Change was effected by what may only
be described as convulsion of her
very soul, after which came lassitude,
vast enervation in which all linger-

ated.
Now she was no longer herself, but
another woman than the one she
knew, strange woman clothed in her
own flesh but in no other way akin to
her Self of everyday, having no
thought, impulse or emotion with
which that Self could sympathize,
save such as may be considered con-
mon to all her sex. Yet, incompre-

CHAPTER ONE
The Street of Strange Faces.
THE DARK CORNER.

The way of the thing was ever the
same: 1t befeIl without warning; or
rather, the girl had never learned to
take heed of signs which seemed plain
enough in retrospect, when she sat
alone and puzzled her pretty head
with the dark riddle of this shadow
life which set her so widely apart from
every girl she knew and, indeed, from
all the rest of humankind.
She had a day of restlessness,
whose every hour brewed its new pc
culiar mood, whose every mood was
purposeless, with times of almost
feverish gayety, causeless, f1tful, fugi-
tive, and other times when for no rea-
son in her knowledge she caught her.

shook her strangely. So might ones
spirit sigh in WEAKNESS, faint with
the burden Of incessant strife with
some great antagonist of unguessable
| identity.
Toward nightfall all these were
soothed away into feeling of serene
poise and self-possession and sat
urate with consciousness of the rich,
strong wine of vitality that quickened
her. she thought of life in the likeness
of a wide placid river, wherein she
drifted like a fearless swimmer-a
stream whose waters were warm,
sweet and calm with penetrating
quality of delicious calm she never
dreamed could be disturbed, so abso-
lutte it seemed, so permanent, so i'm
perturbable.
Only the sighs persisted oddly, as
if her spirit knew moments of melan.

And insidiously the tranquil surface
of that contentment was f1awed by ap
prehensions of nameless danger, OF
peril latent, stealthy and implacable
as though the swimmer surmised some
monstrous shape of evil skulking un
seen in those opaque deeps-or fell
herself subtly ensnared by a current
whose irresistible set was altogether
toward destruction.
Now at length perceiving what wa!
to come, panic paralyzed in her tht
instinct of self-preservation: thougl
horror brimmed the cup of being, sh

one who knows that struggling mus

deep within her a mad desire to g
