out about dozen peals for America,
most of them for New England
churches, including the Church Of the
Advent, Boston; Groton school chapel,

Conn. Canada has only two peals,
one In Vancouver cast by a French
foundry and one in Montreal cast by
the Mott establishment.
Australia and South Africa have sew
eral peals, and Indian and African
plantations have many far-carrying
bells, for summoning workers. They
were cast by Robert Motifs successors,
who also have produced ane-toned
dinner bells for aristocratic homes In
Great Britain. These costly special

Lizzie did not pursue the subject.
1t was no use
But she had decided upon the one
thing that would give her the happi-
ness she needed. The means did not
matter.
Meanwhile, things were not pleas
ing Jack Mann. He wondered duly
how he could have diSpleaSed Lizzie.
Her capricious attitude toward him
had been changed into one of actual
dislike. 1t was hard to get to talk to
her. One day, however, he got an op-
portunity of remonstrance.
"What makes y use me so?" was
his plea.
Use Y how?" Lizzie was plainly
anxious to get rid Of him.
She saw Joe Stanley coming up the
road.

turn off from the road across the field,

frightened again.

"I'll show y. Anythin'. 1t don't

looked at him with the first tender

there.

She pressed his hand. 'Tll see y
again, Jack. Good-by"
She left him trembling, bewildered,
staring foolishly after her.
He talked to her again next day.
He made love to her clumsily, and
she let him. But she would not be-
lieve In his sincerity. Over and over
again he protested it. And at last
she set him his task.
"Oh, l knew y didn't mean it.! she
cried, at the look in his eyes.
"Anythin' else; anythin'."
II knew it. And I'm sorry" Under
her eyes his young blood mounted fe-
verishly. "Oh, all right, then" Her
tone changed suddenly, and she turned
away.

That was a memorable night In

twenty years, something happened I'M
portant enough to warrant the men
tion of the place in metropolitan news
papers.
The window Of Joe Bailey's store
| was forced, the store entered, and the
till robbed.
There were several things about the
robbery that marked it as peculiar
one. One was the fact that, although
there were more than twenty-five dol
lars in the till, only five had been tax
en-. Again, the thief had been at no
pains to conceal his tracks. and had
been easily identified by them. Final
ly, when accused Of the crime, he
broke down at once and confessed
refusing to say, however, what he had
done with the FIVE dollars, or why he
had wanted that particular sum.

THE wealthy investor receives as
much net return from a per cent tax
exempt bond as from a taxable indus
trial investment paying over II per
cent. Railways. public utilities and
other lnduStrialS cannot compete on
this basis. and are now being deprived
of the capital which they need for ex-
pansion. This is serious handicap to
the normal progress of industry which
should be terminated. The tax-exempt
bond has contributed to the depression
in the value of liberty bonds, causing
the holders to sustain still further
losses upon liquidation.

SCOUTS A|DASKED
T0SAVE D. c. WATER
Boy and Girl Organizations
Appealed to, to Assist in
Conservation.

The Boy and Girl Scouts of Wash
ington were appealed to last night by
j. s. Garland. superintendent of the
water department.. to aid him in keep
ing down the use of water for un-
necessary purposes during the hot
weather.
Mr. Garland believes these boys and
girls can assist greatly in the task
of saving water by a polite appeal to
persons they observe violating the po-
lice regulation governing the use of
water on lawns.
Regulations for Use.
The regulation provides that lawns
may be watered between and 8
o'clock in the morning or and s
o'clock in the evening. 1t further
provides that during July. August
and September no person shall water
the sidewalk in front of his home.
Although Mai. Gessford. superin-
tendent of police, has directed his men
to enforce this regulation strictly
during the next three months. Mr..
Garland realizes it will be impossible
for the patrolmen to watch all of the
streets on their beats during the
hours when lawns are being watered
to make sure that water is not wasted
on the sidewalk.
He asks the Boy Scout and Girl
Scouts to mention the regulation to
any person they see watering the
sidewalk after July I. or watering the
lawn except between the hours allowed.
Thursday and Friday Compared.
Yesterday 1t was stated that the
consumption of water went down
from 73.OOO.O0O gallons on Thursday
to 72.176.000 on Friday. Last night it
was learned from the water depart
ment that there was no reduction on
Friday. the consumption for that day
being 73.116.O00.
Mr.. Garland was hopeful Ist night
that the half-holiday in the govern
ment service would cause a falling
off in the total consumption for yes
terday, but tomorrow the figures will
rise again if the present temperature
