THE STRANGER.

In order to reach the factory, Ruth
had to walk through several streets
near the edge OF the town-streets
unpaved, unswept, running between
rows of tiny houses cheaply con-
structed. to house the factory workers
A little walk would have brought
the children of that district to the
open fields, but, OF course, they rarely
went SO far to play-possibly fearing
the mo Trespass" signs on the farm
lands. They played in the streets in
stead, often in danger from the trucks
carrying materials from the factory to
the station.
Beside the factory was a large va
cant lot. The owners intended in
some prosperous time, to build an ad-
dition here-meanwhile the ground
was idle, but beautifully smooth and
green.
And one day, when the Idea had
taken detailed form. Ruth went to the
employment manager. BY this time
he remembered her as the girl he had
taken an interest in before. He passed
ber house on his way home and he had
a nodding acquaintance with her faith
err. In fact, he knew her as a girl not
went with her Idea, she found a ready
listener
ITS simply that I want them to
make that empty field a playground
for factory workers children she
said. And went on to outline her
plans. Ruth had been reading up on
Fairgrounds in the magazines at the
library so she talked like an exper-
rienced social worker.
"A few dollars will do it. They
should have swings, see-saws. some
gymnastic stuff SO they can develop
their legs and arms, and a shallow
pool to wade in on hot days"
And, to her delight and amazement,
when The manager took it up with the
factory-owner, Ruth was sent for to
outline her idea again, and the play
ground was established. The owner
even put up some young trees, SO there
would be shade ir time-carefully
keeping clear the space where the fu-
ture factory would be built.
You're not like these other girls,
Youth get there" he said to her, and
The remark made Ruth happy for days.
Perhaps, something inside her said
perhaps after all there was a
chance! Perhaps she need not go on
forever drudginS, doing work with
her hands when she knew her head
was better than the average, going
home at night to a rooming house,
when she longed for place that was
dainty and quiet.
But that little gIeam faded as the
days passed and nothing more hap
pened. To be sure, the playyard was
there, the laughter and the cries of the
children reached her as she at at her
table, even the fights of the small
boys we're a joy to her. This safe and
pretty playground was her creation. Il
was an improvement over the streets
it was something she had accom-
plished. Something beside checking
up the pieces of work done by these
dreary looking girls and computing
their weeks wages from it.
For she went on as before at SO a
week-and the only gain was that she
had mastered the figures and pot
hooks" though she was still slow at
them, and that she could use type
writer with growing accuracy.
One evening she came home worn

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs, Thompson; I am a mar
ried woman and am very jealous of
my husband. He is a salesman and is
with women all Gay long. When he
comes home l want him to tell me
what he has done and whom he has
seen. This makes him angry at ME.
Then every little while he abuses me
and makes me do just as he wants
me to.
Can you tell me whether l ought to
leave him when he is away?
AS EVER BROWN EYES.
A woman who shows her husband
that she is jealous is looking for
trouble. Do not question your husband
about the things he does during the
day and do not ask whom he has seen.
He does not like to feel that when he
married he gave up his freedom en-
tirely.
l believe that your husband will be
much kinder if you use tact and re-

BOMB LOCUSTS FROM AIR

Rivaling the Egyptian plague of
locusts in the time of Moses billions
of these pests have been ravaging
some of the fairest fields of France.
As much as 10000 acres have been
invaded, and so great was the dan

in almost a military formation, and
everything green disappears in their
path.
The government first used flame
throwers and poison-gas but found
the cast too great-abOut 500 francs

mixture of one pound of arsenical
acid with 20 pounds of molasses and
it was found that it killed the pests
without hurting the vegetation. Air

EINSTEIN LAUGHS AT U. S.

What is more comprehensive, and
probably more interesting, than the
theory of relatively is the opinion its
famous discoverer has of Americans
after his visit to the United States.
Prof Einstein vented his impressions
freely in a Berlin paper, and they
were not very flatterying. He said
he was received with exaggerated
enthusiasm because Americans are
bored and suffering with intellectual
poverty Therefore they seized avid
ly on his theory, which they could not
understand, and it amused him.
Another thing he discovered was
that women dominate the entire life
of America" Most of the men, he
said, are interested in nothing but
work. The rest, he declared, "are
nothing but the little play dogs of
the women, who spend their money
in a reckless manner and veil them
selves in mist of extravaganza. He
found a few scientists worthy of
praise, and from the youth of Am
erica he thought much could be ex-
pected. THE younger generation, I"

lectual level, and whatever is under

RESUME COINAGE
OF SILVER DOLLARS

Minting Of silver dollars has been
started again after a lapse Of seven
years. There is a shortage OF this
variety Of money due to the fact that
279,000,O00 standard silver dollars
were sold to England. II may take
five years Of coinage to get the trea-
sury's reserve back to pre-war basis.
The making Of silver dollars ceased
in 1914 when the supply of metal
purchased under the coinage act was
exhausted. Further authority to coin
silver dollars was contained in the
Pittman act of 1918 but the silver
went to England, who pleaded a sill
yer famine in India.
Great Britain's Mesopotamia cam
paign was threatened by a shortage
of silver in India during that trying
year. Silver, midas monetary stand
ard. was boarded and hidden by the
natives so that It was almost out of
kcirculation. Besides German propa-
ganda was trying to stit up trouble
by limiting that the British govern
ment could not redeem its paper cur
rency. In her emergency England
appealed to the United States for sill
YER
The Pittman act, which was passed
for this purpose, authorized the sale
of the silver dollars at $1.O115 an
ounce, plus the market value of the
copper content of the coin. The one
and one-half cents paid for the cost
of melting, transportation and re-
coinage.
Silver dollars are now being struck
off at the rate of 5000, 900 to TO-
100000 a month. Some 2O,OOO.0OO |
have already been made. Since May
1920 the Mint has bought about 55.- /
10000 ounces of American silver at |
81 an ounce This is much more !
than market price but it is explained /
that this price was fixed by the Pit |
man act to stabilize the price when |
there were indications that it would /
go still higher. The treasurys pur-
chase of silver is confined to silver
both produced and reduced in this
country, thereby protecting the Am
erican silver mining industry from
foreign competition.

policy of 100000 francs to cover
normal war risk" He was not kill
ed by the enemy, but after deserving
he was captured courtmartialed and
shot. His family brought suit to col

contended that his actions were

court, however, ruled that such a
death was a normal war risk and that
the beneficiaries were entitled to the
money. The companies will be hard
hit by the decision since many other
cases of the same kind were waiting
