WHEN THE MIST CLEARS
BY Or. JAMES I. VANCE

LII -
1t was an August morning on the
summit rock of the Grandfather
peak in the Carolina land OF the sky
that I saw the mist clear in a way
l shall never forget.
Five Of us men had slept under
the shelter ledge a quarter of a mile
from the top, in order that we might
be up bright and early and see sun
rise from the lonely altitude of the
shaggy old mountains brow.
But during the night the wind
shifted, and in the early morning
we found ourselves soaking in a dense
cloud. Nevertheless, we decided IT,
go on to the top. hoping against hope
that the mist might clear. But so
thick and battling was the cloud
which swathed the summit that,
added to the gray dawn, we could
not see each other at a distance of
four feet. Slowly we climbed the
rough trail, finding the dim path in
the dense underground not with our
eyes, but by feeling along with our
feet, until at last we crawled out on
the great rock at the top-to see
nothing.
But the wind was blowing at a wild
rate, and we waited, hoping. Half

no sunrise. for the hour had passed.
Then suddenly, in less time than it
takes to tell, the wind tore the cloud
wide open, and blew it from the
mountain top, flying far out into
space, and we saw the world I'M
covered at our feet, bathed in the
sparkle and sheen of the early norm
ing light. 1t never had looked so
beautiful. We could see for miles.
Down there in the valley, the
Watauga wound in and out between
the green banks like a ribbon of
silver. The cattle were standing in
the fields. and the men were starting
to their work. Away on the skyline
stood the great peaks of Black, Sugar
Loaf, Hanging Rock, Dunvegan,
Blowing Rock, Flat Top. Short Off.
Table Rock, and a score of others,
sentineling the busy world at their
feet-and the mist was gone!
So 1t will be in life story.
After the long night and the clouds
and binding darkness. after the
rough climb up the steep, dim trail
toward the summit of our hopes
after the disappointments of earth
and the waiting and hoping against
hope, the winds of heaven will tear
the gloom away and the mists will
clear.

We Rave all of us heard that old
saw OF ne that runs something like
it and y. : have most of us believed the
truth OF it. And in most cases it is
true. With the enactment of an eight
our states we may perhaps be justifled
in wondering whether it isn't just a
little unfair to the housewife-that
just because she has elected to be a
wife and mother she cannot have
reasonable sort of working day. Sup
pose she should try to work out an
eight-hour work day for herself? Some
housewives have, done it, and they
were housewives who had to and who
did accomplish a very great deal IN a
day. The idea was that instead OF
scattering their work over the entlre
waking hours they concentrated They
worked intensely and with close APP
plication while they worked and then
felt that they had earned a real re-
spite from their 1abors when the work
was accomplished.
often there are two women in the
household who share the housework
and in many cases both these women
are more or less occupied all of the
time, altho perhaps both together
do not accomplish more than eight
hours of intensive Homework. Well,
why shouldn't they go about 1t IN a
When a very sick patient has two
nurses both do not attempt to be with
the patient all the time. but definite
division of time is made so that each
has certain hours to herself when she
shall be entirely free from RESPONSE
bility. Now, altho there are many
,, tasks that are better accomplished by
two and altho it is often pleasant to
work with a. companion, for a certain
time each day each should have re-
spite from her labors. There is pleas
ure in the meal that you have had no
hand in preparing, so where there are
two women in the same household,
it is well worth while to work out
system so that each one need attend
to the preparation of only half OF the
| meals.
A fireless cooker is an aid to the
woman who would limit her hours

by means of this it is possible to pre-
pare the hot dishes for the evening

TO AWAIT REPORT
Square Circle to Wait on City
Commission.
Protests To Be Made in Phone
Rate Hike.

That Topeka citizens be required to
carry their income tax reports and
that the Street Railway company es-
tablish a night school for the educa-
ton of the street car conductors in the
analysis of income tax reports so that
the proper fare may be collected is
the suggestion of a committee from
the Square Circle club, appointed to
investigate public utility matters
I'm order that the Street Railway
company get just the amount it should
have from the citizens 1 think such a
plan would be necessary" H. H. Lewis,
chairman of the committee, said
The comment of the Square Circle
club committee was made in view of
the statement made by one of the
judges of the industrial court before
the Cooperative club Tuesday night
that the man with the largest income
should pay the highest rate of street
car fare, and that the others with
moderate and small incomes should
pay the 75z and 61z cent rate. re-
spectively.
II asked A. H. Purdy of the Edison
company today if that was the street
car company's view of the NATTER
w. w. Eden. president of the Square
Circle club, said today. He verified
it, saying that the judge had stated
the matter exactly as it should have
been stated"
In a meeting of the Square Circle
committee on public utility affairs,
held this morning, the committee de-
cided to wait for the report of the city
commission on the matter of protest
ing the decision of the court of indus
trial relation in the increase of the
service rates of the Bell Telephone
company, as the mayor and city COM
missioners have given assurance that
steps in protest will be taken when
City Attorney Brannaman is free from
court work to give thought to the
matter. However. it was stated by
| one of the members that it is possible
for an individual to ask for re-hear-
| ing of the telephone rate case in the
vidual show just cause" as to why the
| case should be re-opened.
| Another possibility of having the
case reconsidered lies in the fact that
4the industrial court judges have power
to voluntarily reopen the case, If they
agree that the rehearing is advisable,
committee members declared.
| THE opinion of some people that
this committee is playing politics in
opposing the telephone rate hike would
be entirely changed if the judges of
| the industrial court would reopen the
case" w. H. Shields, secretary of the
committee said.

zens are back of US in these public

Employees of the extension division

good for any road and for any trip,
instead of having to borrow money to
pay cash fares. They say they are
willing to advance their own money
for hotel bills and meals, but the SIM
pie remedy for the injustice in the
railroad fares leads them to the con-
clusion that it would be as easy for
the state to purchase mileage script
as to leave the employees in the hole
after paying interest on the money.
