The Streets of Life
By HAZEL DEYo BATCHELoR

stantly at things that were left un-
done. She waited until they were all
seated at the table and then re-
marked on something that was miss
ing. This was to show her brother
what trials she had to put up with
in his wife. He always looked at
Alice with that lowering frown OF
his so that she was nervous. To-
night she dropped a glass dish hll-
ed with currant jelly and hot a
had dropped OF the pieces that h
picked up to throw away.
Aunt Martha was a good cook.
Tonight there was cold ham with
potato salad, homemade pickles,
fresh bread, tea and preserved
pears. Anne ate quickly. absor-
bedly utterly unlike a child. Once
in a while she would look over at
her mother. and her heart would
swell with sympathy. Mother was
in disgrace for breaking the glass
Jelly dish. And then Anne's mag
nation would soar away into the
distance and she would dream OF
the time when she should be grown
up and she and mother would so
away and live together and have
pretty dresses and mother would
laugh all day long. There would
be long talks at bedtime with no one
to interfere. Anne's imagination
saved her from a great deal OF the
sordid happenings of the farm.
Unlike a morbidly sensitive child.
she lived outside of things she did
not like. She could make her
father and Aunt Martha disappear
at will. It was very comforting.
Finally Jim Carter pushed his
chair away from the table. He was
finished. Anne slipped away, and
Alice helped Martha with the dish
es. Martha washed and Alice dried.
Tonight Martha was finished first,
and wringing out her dishcloth, she
wiped her hands on a clean towel
and went upstairs. Alice finished
putting away the last dish and was
about to go upstairs in search of
Anne when she heard a child's cry,
and then heavy feet coming down
stairs. The next minute Martha
appeared in the doorway dragging
Anne behind her. Alice stood per-
fectly still where she was. JIM.
who was sitting in the rocking chair
reading a paper. looked up. There
was a moments silence.
Look what I found her up to-"
Martha said in a loud voice.
Anne's little face was tragic. She
had put on 'one of her mothers
summer dresses and 1t trained be-
hind her ridiculously. Her short
hair had been pinned up on her
head and half of it was coming
down. Martha held her by the arm
and the child was terrified and had
begun to sob.
Alice saw in the incident a child
ish desire to dress up. to emulate
her elders. Jim Carter and Martha
saw that weakness of her mothers
cropping out in Anne, that vanity
that had made Alice too good" for
her surroundings. Alice suddenly
remembered Jim's words, "I'll make
her or break her. and she suddenly
grew cold with fright. He was
rising from the chair now and had
taken Anne from her aunt. Martha
stood still. her eyes swapping mali
ciously. waiting for what would
happen.
Then Alice saw her husband take
a long slender strap down from the
mantel where it had been left the
last time his old suitcase had been
strapped up to go away for a few
days business. Her eyes widene1
with terror, and she screamed out:
Elm, what are you going to do?"

PREPARING BILL.
 FOR NATIONAL! FORESTRY POLICY

New London, N. H., Aug. 25.vGeorge w. Sisson, Jr., president of the Amer ican Pulp and Paper Association, told the society for the protection of New Hampshire forests today that bills were being prepared for introduction in Congress and state legislatures to put into effect a national forestry pol icy adopted by a committee of his as- Sociation last year.
 The cardinal points of that program were defined by MT. Sisson substan- tially as follows:
 A federal appropriation to enable the Secretary of Agriculture to CO., operate with states in the protection of timber and cut-over land from fire, in the reforeStry of such land or tree less land and in assisting states or private owners to manage forest lands so as to obtain continuous production of timber.
 A federal appropriation to provide for a. survey of forest resources and TO ascertain the amount of wood an naully required by each wood sising industry.
 A federal appropriation to purchase forest areas on the watersheds of nav igaGble streams in New England and the southern Appa lachians, and the purchase of land suitable for timber growing in all parts of the country. Extension of national forests to an area. of at least 200,000,O0O acres.
 Liberal annual appropriation for forest planting in the national forests.
 Extension of the federal farm loan act to include loans for the purchase of forest lands bearing an immature growth of timber and all cut-over tim lber lands.
 Concerning the controversy with Canada over her embargo on export of pulpwood from crown lands MT. Sisson approved the plan suggested by Colonel Henry $. Graves for a confer ence of representatives of the two countries.

LOCAL ''COPPERS" SPLIT FOR FIRST
 TIME ON WILSON
Mayor Has Not Been En- tirely Forgiven For Part
 In Burns Raids.

If Mayor Clifford B. Wilson took the reception rendered him at the Traffic departments picnic last Sunday, as evidence that he is backed by the en- tire police force in his fight for the gubernatorial nomination, he is a greatly mistaken individual. Some members of the department are SUD- porting the mayor, but it is also eV1- dent at headquarters, that Wilson has lost the backing of the force as a whole.
 That the department has at last split | on the mayor, is seen in the following opinion that was expressed by a mem- ber of the force today:
 T have been fighting for the mayor for a. good many years, but l am through. You can bet that I'm not , supporting him this time. I don't know how the report got around, that the police department is backing him 100 per cent, but there is certainly nothing to it.
 For nine consecutive years the mayor has been enjoying the almost undivided support of the police de- partrnent in his campaigns. The force was his party's own organization, and at times the opposition declared that ,policemen worked a bit too zealously ! and greatest fight, the mayor would again have found the policemen sup porting him if it had not been for one thing-the Burns raids.
 It has been reported of late, that the mayor was not responsible for the work of the Burns agency in Bridge port. but at the time of the raids the entire movement was branded by the department as outrageous. Some Of the officers are reported to have for given the mayor for any part he might have played in the perform iance. but others are not of a forgiv- ling nature. Among the latter are men who have worked for Wilson for nine years. These have declared them selves against the mayor, and in com bination with the old time Democrats on the force. have brought about a poiit cal split in the dep artment.
 Another thing for which some mem ibers of the department hold Mayor Wilson and the local Republicans re- sponsible. is the retirement of several officers which followed the actual raids. The going of ex-Captain Ed ward Q. Cronan of the detective bu- irerau created a sore spot in the de- partment which has not yet entirely healed. Captain Cronan vas one of the most popular men in the depart ment, and although a. staunch Dem ocrat was highly regarded by the Re- publicans as well as the men of his own party. Some officers are of the opinion that an injustice was done the detective chief, and for this they hold the administration responsible. ..-
 Taking all in all, it does not seem that Mayor Wilson can count on the police departm in the future to support him in as whole-hearted a manner as it has in the past
