COMMON ANCESTOR TO BLAME
Unsightiy apple" Is a Legacy Be-
~queathed 20 His Posterity by
Old Father Adam.

We all have it in" for Adam for
shutting to II faces the gates of the
Garden of Eden. But many Of us.
though We may not know it, bear a
particular resemblance TO this com
mon ancestor that puts another chip
on the shoulder. For it is generally
conceded that an adams apple Is
no aid to beauty. And besides making
of our Paradise n cold. bare world, It
is Adam who inflicted upon ue this ad-
ditiOnal burden. When our common
%progenitOr took the fatal bite that for
ever doomed the rest of us to exist
ence by the sweat Of our brows, a
piece OF the fruit is supposed to have
lodged in his throat and stuck there
in his children's children nrto the nth
generation. And that is why the
slight proturberance that some peoDBe
have at the front Of the throat II
called adams apple" Speaking Of
ancestry. some OF us carry about on
our persons unmistakable proof of cur
ancient lineage.-Chicago JOnrnal.

him to a chair. Blood flowed down his

Of pain, rage, humiliation.

Dawes impulse was to seize the
thick, flabby throat in his hands and
choke it lifeless. With a resOlute eff
fort he turned to the telephone and
lifted the receiver.
"Send a car and a doctor to Coward

turning to Coward: 1T will depend
on you whether this affair gets to the
public-on you and Miss Wardin.

soon as you are able to be about our
partnership will be dissolved"
Coward was ready enough to adopt
Dawes suggestion that their quarrel
should not come to the notice Of the
public, and Gladys Wardin. apparent

Irene Hardy found herself In a po-
sition of increasing delicacy. Since the
day Of their conversation In the tea
room Dave had been constant in his
attentions, but, true to his ultimatum,
had uttered no word that could in any
way be construed to be more Or less
than platonic. She had now no doubt
that she felt for Dave that attachment
without which ceremonies are without
avail and with which ceremonies are
but ceremonies And yet she shrank
from surrender. And she knew
that some day she must surrender.
The 1ituation was complicated BY
conditions which involved her mother
and Coward. It was apparent that
Conward's friendship for Mrs. Hardy
did not react to Dawes advantage.

Formation of the Council of Action by
British labor is conceded by friends and foes
alike to be the most important single occurrence
in England since the declaration of war in 1914.
1t has achieved its primary aim-that of pre-
venting further aggression by the British gov
ernment against Soviet Russia Now it stands
ready to assert it's power in other directions
The war scare has gone Manifestly, the wish
of labor to keep out of the threatened new i'm
perialistic war was the wish of the great mass
of Englands people When the Council Of Ac-
ton was formed, the atmosphere in London ESQ
friends tell me) was like that attending the de-
claration Of war against Germany except that
all the feverish utterances in the streets were
anti and not pro-war.
Open declaration that six million British
wage earners would cease production rather
than see another war has had tremendous III
fluence on the Continent. Tt has insured maint-
enance Of strict neutrality in Germany; it is
fastening formal recognition Of Soviet Russia
by Italy it is even driving breaches in the
strongholds of French reaction which are so
largely responsible for the continued chaos Of
Europe.
Machinery For Revolution"
The great fact which stands in relief against
the turbulent welter of events is that organized
labor, and not Parliament, is directing the out
come of political issues Local Councils are
springing up spontaneously all over England.
Their functions at the present time are limit
ed to "collecting information" and preparing
to make protest on the Russian issue effective,
if the parent council deems drastic necessary.
But it requires no gift of vision to see what
these local councils might become. They are
being denounced as machinery for revolu-
ton" and "British soviets" by the conserva-
tive press, although their power is specifically
limited to the one issue Of Russia, Another fact
which brings no consolation to opponents of the
soviet idea is that the local councils of action
