THE GLAD SURRENDER
BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR
Copu,ioht, 1890, by Public Ledger Co.

brilliantly merry and when the real
Dick Warburton took her into supper
and she discovered that Granville at
the other end of the table was watching
her she became almost reckless.
As soon as Granville knew that
Laurel had 70 idea that he was Folly
he had determined on his action in the
his caution and he was really Folly,
living for the moment, taking what he
could get Of life. He had planned
everything craftily. He knew the geog-
raphy of the place well and he knew
that il he could get her away from the
house to tie comparative privacy of the
terrace he could take his chance. He
had feeting memory of holding her
against him. and then of kissing her
again and again. Never in his life
had he wanted anything so much as he
wanted her love that night. He would
have done anything, sacrificed anything
to get it,
Ard so these two played at cross
purposes, each loving the other and each
purposcly misunderstanding.
1t was late when the guests began to
| straggle up to their rooms. Laurel her
self was about to follow Harriet, wher
some one touched her on the arm and
she turned to look back at Granville.
Can I speak to you a minnte?' hC
asked. ,
She stood for a minute looking bach
at him. Then she said lightly.
Cant it wait till morning, Gran,
vile? I'm really too tired tonight"
She was conscious that he stood a
the bottom of the stairs watching hel
as she went up, Once in her own room
She was suddenly dispiritedly tired anC
weary. The mild spring night haC
grown heavy and rain was patterinl
drearily outside. She went to the win

A Girls Sweater

TO the Editor Of Womdn's Page:
Dear Madam-Will you kindly tel
me how many stitches to drop when
making a square neck on girls sweat
or, the girls age being about twenty
wears? PEGGIE.
This depends upon how many stitches
you have on your needle and how big
a neck you want. The best way tc
Judge is to take off as many stitches as
you need for the shoulders and then
drop all the others in between. About
twenty is the usual number of stitches
to drop for a round neck, but you would
probably reed more for square neck.
Mix equal parts of fishberries, which
can be bought at the drugstore, ant
alcohol and rub it into your head every
day. Then use fine tooth comb every
day and continue this treatment unit

MRS. WILSON GIVES A FEW
MISCELLANEOUS HINTS
Please Tell Me
What to Do
BY CYNTHIA
Which Shall He Ask?

which Shall He Ask2
Dear Cynthia--There are two young
ladies' of whom ] am very fond and
i am between the devil and the deep
sea as to which prefer.
The first young lady is well educated
and is now n visiting nurse in one
of the outlying towns. She is the type
OF girl that enjoys helping others, and
is very thoughtful in regard to the little
things. in life. Best explained by saying
"A friend to ALL"
The other girl is somewhat the oppo
site. She appreciates all that one does
for her, but is selfish in the way Of
Lending hand to help others. This
girl has grade school education and
has been employed since her gradua-
ton.
l am now. in position to ask one Of
the two to become my partner in life's
little struggle and would like to hear
OF what others have to say in the mat =
TER. l know my own decision, but per
haps suggestions would clear up some
questions in my mind.
NOW for some comparisons. Both are
good cooks. and enjoy a home and all
1t means. One dislikes children and the
other delights in having them around
her. One is spendthrift and the other
conservative, and is laying in store for .
rainy. day. One has plans of what she
would do when married. the other pre-
pairing for her life after the marriage
ceremony. One is movie fiend, the
other enjoys the high musical standards
of this world.
AS my decision is about $3.50 with
the balance little off one way or the
other, will some one enlighten me as tc
now TO come to a final decision?
dearly love them both, so how can
tell who's who and why? '..
ENSIGN.
fou do not really love either of these
women, but would probably be safe il
choosing the one with the finest quail
ties, If she will consent to be your wifi,
and love will come Of it. 1t is hare
to advise you about which one to WOO
as you do not signify which has which
when you designate the various quail
| ties.

L cannot understand why it should
be desirable. A girl can certainly have
good time and still let cigarettes alone.

lTALY'S BREAD AND WINE COSTS
Professor Ancona Suggests That
Italians Drink Less Wine to Aid
the Government

A story carrying Rome, October
10 date line, in the New York Tribune
of November IS, says that Prof Ugo
Ancona, formerly Under Secretary of
Transportation in the Italian cabinet,
has made public a statement that
while the Italian government has
spent more than one billion dollars a
year for bread for the people, the
Italian workers has spent $900,000 900
on wine alone year.
The governments expenditure for
bread has resulted from its undertake
ing to pay the difference between the
cost of producing wheat and the price
of bread. In consequence of this the
Italian workers have been able to buy
bread at the rate OF one Ira (l9
ccnts) for each kilogram of 2.20
pounds. Prof. Ancona says that while
the workers refuse to pay more than
this they have no objection to paying
four or FIVE Ira for quart of wine
which before the war cost about
twelve cents quart. He asks
whether it is just that the Italian gov
eminent should continue to supply a
billion dollars annually for bread when
the people do not grudge $900,000000
a year for the luxury of wine.
The Professor advocates that the
Italians should eat less bread and pay
what it costs and that they should
drink less wine and export more of it
so that the profit on wine would help
to pay the importation on bread.

BREWERS TO
Fight ENFORCEMENT CODE
Hold Meeting Behind Closed
Doors and Outline Definite
Program of Oppo-
sition
TO RETAIN BROOKS LAW
Under 1t Saloonists are Perhaps
Best Organized Bootleg
gers in the Country

The Pennsylvania Brewers Asso-
citation held a session behind closed
doors in tho city of Philadelphia on
November 10. About 80 members
were in attendance. A program to
combat the enactment of state law
enforcement code was agreed upon,
which program the officials were au-
thorized to push to the limit.
Their action involves two things.
In the first place, the brewers will
be on hand when the Legislature
meets for the purpose of fighting
against any movement to repeal the
Brooks law. Today there are thou
sands of saloonkecpers who under
protection of license are doing bust
ness on a mammoth scale in Pennsyl
vania in handling liquor of more than
one-half OF per cent alcoholic con-
tent. They are perhaps the best or
gained bootleggers i'll the United
States, operating as they are under
the Brooks license law. They are
conspiring together to undermine
and destroy the fundamental princi-
pies of free government. 1t is for
the protection OF these bootleggers
that the brewers propose to fight.
In the second place, the brewers
expect to be in Harrisburg to make
a direct attack upon any effort put
forth to enact a dry enforcement
code. TIE governor of the state has
declared in no uncertain tone that
Pennsylvania must come into har-
mony with the Constitution OF
the United States by enacting prop
err enforcement legislation and the
people in the recent election clearly
showed their approval of the COVER
nor's position by their vote for can
didates for the Legislature and the
national Congress.
The pulpit and the press are back
ing up these millions of private cit-
zens and the governor in the demand
that Pennsylvania proceed with. the
suppression of these booze anarchists.
This meeting of the Brewers Asso
citation clearly indicate that law en-
forcement measure will not be en-
acted without struggle on the part
of the outlawed booze gang

tempted but promptly nipped in the
bud by counter organization. Mother
we'll the great iron and bridge-build-
ing center, was a type of this sort.
The vets had offered a gang OF
roughs 500 (roughly $500 to break
UP the meeting, but they did not break
it up for the very good reason that
about 100 brawny workers of the
steel mills put in an appearance with
rosettes on their coats to keep order.
They were spelling, for a fight and
did keep order. One or two ventured
to start a disturbance but they were
so. fercely thrown into the middle of
the street that nobody else dared
make a venture, and the liquor dealers
saved their money.

BIG INDUSTRIAL CENTERS
OVERWHELMINGLY DRY
Old Saloon Centers in Cincinnati,
Cleveland and Toledo Still Vote
for Liquor

The claim that Ohio working men
resent the dry law and want beer is
refuted by the workers themselves in
the industrial sections of the state.
The counties of Mahoning, Sum-
NIT, Stark, and Trumbull, are full of
shops and factories. In these coun-
ties are the industrial centers of
Youngstown, Niles, Akron, Barber
ton, Canton, MassilIon, Alliance and
Warren.
Mahoning county approved the
Crabbe enforcement law by a ma
jority of 7,021; Stark gave the law
1917 majority; Summit, 1898, and
Trumbull, 1903. These four counties
with their tens of thousands of work
ers gave the law an aggregate major
ity of 34,054.
The big vote against the Crabbe act
were rolled up in the old saloon wards
of Cincinnati, Cleveland and Toledo.
