CHAPTER Two-contInued.

The notice had been given soon af-
ter the new theater was opened in the
Sneed block, and the endless flood of
moving lights and shadows began to
fall on its screen. The low-born, pur-
blind intellects of Bohemian New
York began to pour their lewd fancies
into this great stream that flowed
through every city, town and village
In the land. They had no more COM
junction in the matter than a rattle
snake when 1t swallows a rabbit. To
them, there were only two great, bare
facts in llfe-male and female. The
males, in their vulgar parlance, were
either wise guys" or "suckersP The
females were all "my dears."
Much of this mental sewage smelled
to heaven. But 1t paid. It was cheap
and entertaining. 1t relieved the te-
dunn Of small-town life.
Judge Croker was in the little
theater that evening that the Old
Spirit of Bingville received notice to
quit. The sons and daughters and
even the young children of the best
families in the village were there.
Scenes from the shady side of the
great cities, bar-rOOm adventures with
pugllists and porcelaln-faced women,
the thln-ice skating Of Illicit love sue
ceeded one another on the screen. The
tender souls of the young received
the impression that life in the great
world was mostly drunkenness, vio-
lence, lust, and Great White Way
wardness of one kind or another.
Judge Croker shook his head and
his fist as he went out and expressed
his view to Phyllis and her mother in
the lobby. Going home, they called

friendly now-after you've made up
your mind to be such enemies. No,
you're certainly not apt to become
friendly-not apt to in the least.v
Mr.. Wood Elf said "Good-by' again
and so did the little girl who was very
sleepy. They watched Mr.. Wood Elf
as he picked her up and carried
her.
"She was too young to have left her
home" said the girl. "She's quite a
bit younger than / am.
"And to think someone said some
thing mean about her, or to think
that Mother Gosslp's daughter came
and told her SO. Wen, II was a good
thing she met Mr.. Wood Elf, for then
she too was made happy"

our real supper here. / didn't want
to eat with that horrid family. They
were the limit, actually the limit"
"Such creatures are really horrid,",
Mr.. Wood Elf agreed. "The great
trouble Is that so many creatures have
become connected or friendly with
Mother Gossip and her children in
some way and don't know it. They
are the ones we've got to try to help,
for If they go on they'll not only make
others unhappy, but they'll be wretched
themselves. It's so miserable to get
to the point where one thinks that
there are many more wrong things
about our friends than right things,
Well, we're going to be gay tonight
and forget about all of them"
So saying, Mr. Wood Elf beckoned
TO them to sit down right at the top
of the hill. He clapped his hands
four times, each time very slowly, and
out came four little wood elves, small
cousins of Mr.. Wood Elf.
"Will each OF you serve each Of us

up at Mr.. Wood Elf for she knew he
was a friend. She was quite too young,
though, for adventures.
They finished their supper which
was very fine. And they were anxious
to see the Hospitality Hotel after hav-
ing tasted one of the picnic suppers
they had prepared. They had even
sent dishes along and hadn't forgot
ten salt and pepper.

Elf. "And may you have. pleasant

ALT TAYLOR IS
'INAUGURATED AS
CHIEF EXECUTIVE

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 15.-Al-
Der of the noted Taylor family of
Tennessee to fill the office, was in
augurated governor today in the hall
of the house.
Justice Grafton Green, of the state
supreme court, administered the oath
in the presence Of large crowd,
East Tennessee being especially we'll
represented. The new governor
stressed economy, the rural school,
highway and taxation problems in his
inaugural address. He told the legis-
lators that if there was ever time
when public servants should forget
politics and join hands and minds
to upbuild Tennessee now was the
time. 81 cherish no higher ambl-
tion," said the speaker, than that
by your sympathetic cooperation l
may become as acceptable governor
as a brother predecessor whose face
I looked on for the last time in this
very hall, and whose spirit worked
so effectively to aid in securing my
elevation to this exalted position"
The reference was to Governor lay

United States senator. Governor Aft

hold the office of governor of Ten

Colonel Taylor was elected COVER

forties, and his own race against

CHILD WELFARE
WORK IN STATE

Georgia is making rapid progress
in promoting child welfare work, ac-

rector of child helping, Russell Sage

While en- route to Greenville, S. c.,
for the dedication of the new $780,
600 Lying-In hospital there, DR.. Hart
spent several hours in Atlanta Fri
day comforting with Robert B. Nc
Cord, state superintendent OF the
Georgia Children's Home society.
DR.. Hart is considered among the
most eminent authorities on social
Service in the United States. His
work with the Russell Sage Founda-
ton keeps him in touch with devel-
opments in welfare activity through
out the nation.
"While child welfare work is pro-
crossing, and progressing rapidly, In
Georgia through the functlon1ng or
the Georgia Children's Home society,
I do not believe that a considerable
proportion of the people in your
state know what a wonderful serV-
ice this organization has rendered
your needy children and the COM
nonwealth at large" said DR.. Hart
Friday.
"There is no limit to the benefits
that can be given homeless and semi

efficient agency like your state So

work upon future citizenry is meal.

dollars are saved taxpayers through

AUTHORITY GIVEN
FOR CONFERENCE
ONDISARMAMENT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Def1nite
steps looking toward disarmament
were taken Saturday by the House for
eign affairs committee, which report
ed a resolution authorizing President
Wilson to invite the nations of the
world to send delegates to an inter-
national convention to consider ways
and means of bringing it about.
Although all members of the COM
mittee voted for the proposal, DEM
ocrats objected to it's adoption at this
time on the ground that it might en-
barrass the president. They contend
ed it was question which more
properly should be considered by
President-elect Harding. Chairman
Porter, a warm advocate of the move
ment, insisted, however, that it was
the desire to have the resolution
ready for Mr.. Harding in event Mr..
Wilson did not act on it.
Representative Brooks, Republican,
Illinois, author of the resolution, an
nounced that efforts would be made
to expedite it's consideration by the
house. There was no indication of
any movement to get together with
the senate, which has pending reso-
luton by Senator Borah. Republican,
Idaho, providing for armament re-
Britain and Japan, and a resolution
by Senator Walsh, Democrat, Mon
tana Authorizing the president to ap-
point a member of the disarmament
commission of the League of Ma
tions.
Members of the committee frankly
expressed doubt whether the Brooks
resolution could be voted on at this
session, owing to the heavy, run of
appropriation legislation. Represen-
tative Flood, of Virginia, ranking
the assumption that President Will
son might ignore the direction and
pass the question on to Mr.. Hard
He questioned the propriety of
asking Mr.. Wilson to act on the eve
of leaving office and after the League
Of Nations covenant, providing for
Joint disarmament, had been rejected
by the United States.
Without much discussion the com
mittee defeated an amendment by
Representative Mason, Republican,
Illinois, STIMULATING that countries
now seeking their independence
should be invited to the conference
which would be held in this country.
Mr.. Mason said this would enable
Ireland and the Philippines to par
ticipate.
Mrs. Charles Edward Russell, OF
the Woman'S Peace society, express
ed the view that the Borah resolu-
ton in the senate was too limited,
and might breed suspicion in othef
nations. Chairman Porter contend
ed also that all nations should par
ticipate in the conference ana en-

CARRIERS OF DREAD DISEASE
Be the Bearers Of Deadly piph-
liberia Germa

There is probably no more difficult
or more unsatisfactory problem In
contagious diseases than that Of the
diphtheria carrier. Though the death
rate for diphtheria has been greatly re-
duced since the discovery Of antitoxin,
the morbidity rate has remained vir-
tually the same, says the Journal OF
the American Medical Association.
Gelien, Moss and Guthrie found that
approximately Is per cent Of 800
healthy children In Baltimore were
carriers of diphtheria bacilli at one
time or another, and about ii per cent
Of these were carriers Of virulent or
ganisms. They also found q higher
percentage Of positive cultures In chill
dren with pathologic thrOats than In
those with normal threats. OF 80
children who yielded positive cultures
at the first examination, ~ had posi-
tive cultures two weeks later. After
four, SIX, eight. ten and twelve weeks,
the number Of positive cultures was
fifteen, eleven, twelve and six, respec-
lively.
