warm arms to clasp his neck and they
kissed each other.
The next day they laughed at the
clock together. and after that peace
reigned for several weeks. But it was
inevitable that another quarrel should
come and then another; Cherry was
young and undisciplined, perhaps not
more selfish than other girls Of her
age, but self-centered and unreason-
able. She had to learn s~elf-control
and she hated to control herself. She
had to economic when poverty pos
sessed neither picturesqueness nor in

weeks behind in the payment of do
nestle bills, and these recurring re-
minders of money ~stringency mad
dened Cherry. Sometimes she summed
it up, with angry tears, reminding him
that she was still wearing her trous-
seau dresses, and had no maid, and
never went anywhere!

She became clever at avoiding causes
of disagreement she listened, nodded,
agreed, with a boiling heart, and had
the satisfaction of having Martins
viewpoint veer the mex day, or the
next hour, to meet her own secret
conviction. Martin seemed satisfied,
and all their little world accepted her
as a matter of course. But under it
all Cherry knew that something young
and irresponsible and confident In her
had been killed. She never liked to
think of the valley, of the fogs and the
spokes Of sunlight under the redwood
aisles, of Alix and the dogs and the
dreamy evenings by the fire. And es-
pecially she did not like to think of
that eighteenth birthday, and herself

strange young man from Mrs. North's

She had a feeting thought of home !;
of Dad reading before the fire, of the
little brown room upstairs, with Alix,
slender in her thin n%ightgown, yawning
over her prayers. A rush of reluc-

like terror smote her. She fought the
inconsistencies down resolutely every
thing would seem brighter tomorrow,
when the morning and the sunshine
came again.
There was a brown and red car

brown bureau, and a wide iron bed
with a limp spread, and a peeling
brown washstand with a pitcher and

The wedding was to be In Septem-

IDEA BRINGERS
By H. Addington Bruce
a man wants to get inspiration, to

man wants to get inspiration to gain
new ideas helpful in his work, it is i'm
portant for him not only to concentrate
earnestly on his work while he is doing it,
but also to allow himself frequent periods of
complete mental relaxation
For new ideas seldom, if ever, come through
conscious thinking and effort. They are prod
ucts of SubconScious mentaton, as the pSychol-
ogiStS call it. And while the mind is con-
sciously active they usually remain locked in
the subconscious, inaccessible unknown.
But let conscious effort be abandoned for
the time being and especially let the idea
seeker surround himself with. conditions favor
ing effortleSS mediation, then, if he has
through previous hard work stored his sub
conscious with idea-creatng material, he is
exceptionally likely to be favored with new
and brilliant ideas.
That is why highly original men often have
passion for solitude, Secudi1g themselves
for hours at a time in some quiet room, TAX
ing solitary walks, or making solitary excur-
SionS to scenes of great natural beauty.
lnstinctvely they appreciate that everything
which fosters temporary abandonment of
strenuous effort and promotes instead placid
day-dreaming stimulates that interchange be-
tween the conscious and SubconSciouS without
which the gaining of new ideas is impossible
Whatever the character of ones vocation
this principle holds good.
1t affects equally the philosopher and the
financier, the poet and the statesman, the
writer and the man of business. All must
combine efforteSs with effortful thinking, all
must "invite" rather than command" the COM
ing of new ideas
And the greatest of all "idea bringers" is
occasional mental relaxation, preferably COM
bined with solitude, whether in the heart of
the city or on the mountain top remote from
the hauntS of men,
Gwen men of genius" as one student of
mental processes truly observes, cannot COM
mand the presence of brilliantly original ideas,
and it would seem as if deep concentration of
prolonged character is a psychological error.
The true method is to work diligently for pc
Rod, then to turn to new source of interest"
And:
Tdleness, in sensible proportion, gives the
SubconScous its opportunity. Close work, on
the other hand, with its constant absorption of
eye and brain, monopolizeS the whole area of
the waking mental life, allowing few opportuni-
ties for transitions from the subconSciouS to
the conscious"
Are you one of those who keep everlastingy
at work?
Are you one of those who hate solitudel
Does it bore you to mediate in quiet places
or to take leisurey strolls, with yourself as
your only companion?
Have you no eye for the beauties of nature?
Then you need not complain if, no matter
how hard you work, originality of any high
order if forever denied you.

Cabta;nesses of Industry

"HE success of Mary Garden as an
operate manager calls attention to
the fact that she is BY no means alone
among women who have won extraordinary
financial triumphs in fields PECULIARLY sup
posel to be exclusively for men.
The New York Herald recently published
a number of instances Of women who are
earning salaries in excess of $4,000 a year,
the list including writer's for the motion pic
lures, bankers, advertising agents and other
jobs more or less commercial.
Miss Anita Loos, scarcely more than a
girl in years, Is said to reap a harvest of
100000 a year from her motion picture
scenarios. Miss Mary Hull, an index and fill
ing specialist on Wall St., has made $10,O 900
year for several years past. Frances -.-a-
rion, one of two women directors in the
motion pictures, is reported to have con-
tract that nets her 100000 year.
One of the most interesting cases. cited by
The Herald is that of Miss Helen Woodward,
New York Cir1, who secured a contract to
advertise new edition of Mark Twain's
works. She hit upon the scheme of adver-
Using "Huckleberry Finn" almost exclusively,
and by pitching all Of her advertisements

pea1ed to the hearts of men and boys alike

author whose books had been selling for

Women have always shared with men the
honors in the literary and artistic worlds.
Many of America leading present-day writ
ers are women, and the covers of our popu-
lar magazines are bedecked with drawings
bearing women's signatures. Now that they
are proving themselves as shrewd in bust
ness as they are gifted in cultured lines of
endeavor, one may expect them to develop
into real captains of industry.

Villa as a Bandit Catcher
~ HE leading figure in a recent raid on
nest of Mexican bandits and reb-

/ a nest of Mexican bandits and reb-
els in the State of Durango was Fran
cisco Villa, that one-tme terror of the forces
Of law and order. Mixed motives, it seems,
led him to aid the Government In this in
stance. He welcomed an. occasion to prove
his fealty to the new regime at Mexico City,
with whom he made terms months ago; but
he was also stirred by the chance to even
scores with two of the outlaws, the Ar
rietta brothers, who had deserted him in
the days of Carranzas rising fortunes. 1t
was one of those rare revenges which the
whrlgig Of time brings in now and then,
for Villa to swoop down as falcon Of JUS
tice upon the very adventures who not
many seasons ago were hunting his head
in the name of the law.
President Oregon and his associates do
well to utilize this erstwhile king Of trou-
ble-makers in a task for which he Is so
expertly qualified. Old Porfirio Diaz who,
tyrant though he was, restored Mexico to
order and kept the country's ways secure
would not infrequently draft the holder and
more intelligent of outlaws for his Rural
Guard. He was Judge enough of human ma
ture to know how to select for this pur-
pose among the motley ranks of the rogues;
and he could depend on them, once they
were fairly at home with the pursuers in
stead of the pursued to proceed with the
utmost rigor and cunning. writer in the
New York Times quotes him as saying of
the methods of his reclaimed bandit Ru-
rales: "Often they were harsh to the point
of great cruelty. Yet it was necessary then
to the life and progress of the nation. 1t
was right that little blood should be shed
so that much blood should be saved; the
blood we shed was bad blood; the blood we
saved was good blood"
very different kind Of ruler from the
elder Diaz is President Obregon, who has
taken up the responsibilities of his country's
government, not as dictator nor miitarist,
but as duly elected magistrate of liberal
and merciful policies. But Oregon rightly
realizes that if there is to be any progress,
any construction, any prosperity and true
freedom, there must be peace and security.
Hence he has launched a most vigorous
movement to clear the highways and hedges
of those cut-throat adventures who swarm
ed SO freely during the latter part of the
Carranza regime, and he has sagaciously
availed himself Of such effectual help as
Villas.

Ne1O Light on Submarines

- HE submarine played a much more
effective part in the naval fortunes
of the World War than has been pop
ularly supposed if we may take the judg-
ment of so distinguished student of Brit
tain's experience in that conflict as Lord
Rothmere. Writing in the London Pictorial,
he says in substance: "Out of the mists Of
the North Sea, out of the masses of techni-
cal records which are accommodating, the
clear and simple fact emerges that both the
British and the German battle fleets were
dominated by fear of submarines ard re-
peatedly turned away to evade them
Startlingly indeed does this assertion
break in upon the general opinion that SUBJ
marines, dangerous as they were to merchant
shipping left the men of war virtually I'M
disturbed. Aside from the British dread
naught which was sunk by U-boat in the
zone of the Dardanelles, little or nothing
was heard, during the war, of the offensive
power of submersibles; they were common
ly put down as being comparatively unim-
portant except as destroyers Of commerce,
and even in that capacity they failed to rea-
lie Germany's cherished purposes.
But if this outspoken British observer is
correct, the submarines var record, studied
in its now more abundant details and in it's
broader bearings, points to the rather early
obsolescence of giant fighting craft. "The
contest in heavy naval ornaments is over.
though people do not yet realize it,"-that
is his view Of the matter. And whether right
or wrong, it is at least interesting

Both the Government and the business
leaders of the island continent were prompt
to perceive and to develop the opportunities
of the time. They saw that a large part OF
the neighboring East, then severed from its
usual trade relations with Europe, could be
