"Yes. A continuation of its cen ter llne."
 "Well, old MT. Methodical Caleu- lation," said Bernice, as she launched herself backward from the other side of the boat, there's a mere bit of what you probably call feminine intuition. Our pier was torn up by the. ice last winter. When they rebuilt it they To- cated 1t more than fifty feet farther east along the beach. For ten days you've beeen fishing way off your ground. I'd have told you before but you picked a quarrel with me the first time we met this season. Here, help me into that tub of yours and I'll show you where you ought to anchor"
 Between them, taking turns with Calhoun's sturdy deep water rod, they caught half a dozen of the rugged, hard-fighting, hard-dying tautaug, while Herbert CalhOun's stiff-necked pride fought losing fight with the fascination of the beautiful, competent but utterly feminine creature beside him. Then, with the preliminary of 8 long-drawn breath he said:
 "Bernice, guess there are some prejudices that are about as hard to locate and about as tough and hard to kill as these cat-lived fish. I've been an ass, with my cocksure theor- les about sex-wisN division of quail tiles. If you'll just take me, you can go on fighting manufacturers and mak- ing reports as long as you can get yourself reappOinted-if it's forever. I've been figuring all my ranges, fancy, from the wrong landmarks"
 Not quite all, Herbert. One of them was right. But I couldn't let you bully me-and not let you know you were doing it.'
 Bernice gazed far off down the bay. Then presently she turned and said, in tremulOus little voice that no law evading factory boss would ever have recognized as that of the militant in- spector, 'T-I sent in my resignation last night, dear"

Hovv co.oper.tion chanoea.

Both the government and organized labor of Germany have changed their attitude toward consumers co-opera- ton, with the result that, since the downfall of the kaiser, the member ship of the leading co-operatiyes, previously largely cof6posed of profes- slonal and business people, has become overwhelmingly composed of working people. The Production Society of Hamburg, for instance, has among it's members 1889 metal workers, 2, ,492 bricklayers, 2,OS4 tallors, 464S trans port workers, 2,967 woodworkers, as against 65 writers, 977 musicians and one artist. Government officials, previ- ously forbidden to join co-operatives, now avail themselves of the permis- sion to do so in increasing numbers.

FAR FROM THE MILLENNIUM
Charity Organizations Have Not Yet
 Solved Problem Which Is Old as the Human Race.

Lawson Purdy, the secretary Of the Charity Organization society, said at a dinner in New York:
 ''The millennium hasn't come yet by any means. A policeman one cold De cember night of rain and sleet was walking his beat on the East side when he came upon a shivering, ill- clad urchin trying to sleep on the steps of a warehouse. The policeman reused him up and told him to go home.
 CT ain't got no home,' said the boy.
 "Where's your father?'
 "'Java-he's a sailOr.'
 "'Well, where's your mother, thenT
 "'She's in jall.'
 '"The policeman took his little, cold hand.
 "'Anyhow, you cant sleep out here he said. You'd be frozen to death. Suppose you come along with me-
 ''The boy went along with the pO- liceman willingly, even eagerly.
 "'YOu're gOin' to put me in jail, ain't you. sir? he said.
 ooh, no; don't think about jaii,' the policeman answered.
 "They said you'd put me in jaIl,' said the little boy, if you caught me sleeping in the street.
 "The policeman made no reply. They walked on for a while In silence. Finally they came to builders red lantern.
 eff stole that there red lantern,' said the little boy, would you put me in jail then, sir?
 "'Yes, probably said the policeman, but don't you go talking about steal ing lanterns at your age. Jail! I'm going to take you to a place where there's a nice warm fire and some hot soup
 "'But if I steal the lantern then you'll put me in jail, won't your And the urchin reached out his tiny. cold fist and actually lifted the lantern from is hook.
 "'Put that back growled the pO- liceman. Jail, indeed! What do you want to go to Jail forT
 Here the little fellow began to sob as if his heart would break.

Antiquity of Porto Rico.

EthnOlogists have reason for think ing that Porto Rico and the adjoining islands may have been peOpled from the, valley of the OrinOcO instead of from Yucatan. When first occupied by man Porto Rico may have been a part of a peninsula connected with South America. Its fauna and flora are of the South American type, and 1t contains relics of 6 forgotten race which show evidence of high grade of culture. Few traces of these abOr- igines are now to be found except in the interior of the island. Among the curious remains are stone-enclOsed plazas, on which ceremonial dances were performed. The remains of carved idols and pottery show no small degree of skill and taste. No traces of stone buildings resembling those of the Mayas are found, but the houses are of the South American type.

The Apple of Eden,

From time immemorial the apple has been blamed for being the cause of mans downfall in the garden of Eden. We have even gone so far as to call our Adams apple by that name in memory of the incident.
 As a matter of fact, the word apple does not appear in that part of Gene sis treating with the Garden of Eden, the fruit of the tree" being the words always used The fallacy arose from the fact that the word apple has in many languages the general nearing of fruit, and that before an English translation of the Bible was permitted the story was incorrectly spread by ignorant churchmen. and thus took root too deeply to be eradicated.

San|ae Judge Again Knocks Out
j 5 Child Labor Law on
State Rights Theory.

GREENSBORO. N. G., Sept. H.
The federal child labor law. which i'm.
poses a federal tax OF 10 per cent on
the profits derived from products on
which child labor is employed, is us-
constitutional, rules Federal Juase
Boyd. r. :.
The court is shocked at this assault
on the theory Of states rights, Just
because a lot Of children are exploited
in cotton mills III this state and e1se-
where. He says this law rs a usur-
patton Of authority and violation of
the sovereign rights Of the state"
Thi sis the second time that. Judge
Boyd has started attacks on anti
child labor laws. His first :.ttack was
sustained by the United States sll-
preme court, June 3, 1918, in one of
its we'll known 4-to-5 decisions. This
law was known as the Owen-Keating
act, and debarred from interstate COM
merce the products Of any establish
ment which employed children under
IA years Of age or where children un-
der the age Of Is years were employed
more than eight hours q day.
Congress then passed another law
(the one now set aside by Judge
Boyd). This act was based on the tax
ing power Of congress and provides
that the federal internal revenue de-
partment shall collect as a tax 10 per
cent of the profits derived from prod
ucts on which child labor is employed.
Judge Boyd insisted that the regu-
lation Of labor is q state function
which cannot be, evaded by the United
States. either directly or Indirectly.

WASHINGTON Sept. Air planes

sci, but the battleship is still the back
bonesof the fleet and the bulksof: the
nations defense. II r.
This summarizes the repo{t to, the
secretaries Of war and navy aby the
Joint board on the bombing tests held
recently off the Virginia capes. The
report gives tho air plane credit for
sinking q German battle ship In the
tests, and recommends that methods
be devised to offset the new offen-
sive.
In this connection, the board says:
"Air craft carrying high capacity
high explosive bombs Of sufficient
size can sink or seriously damage any
naval vessel as at present construct
ed, provided such projectiles' can be
placed in the water close alongside the
vessel.
Furthermore, it will be difficult,
if not impossible, to build any type Of
vessel of sufficient strength to with
stand the destructive forca that can
be obtained with the largest bombs
that air planes may be able to carry
shore bases"
After stating that it may be, "im-
possible to build battleships that can
Withstand the airplane, the board de-
clares that battleships are still the
backbone Of the fleet and the bulwark
of the nations defense.
1.-THE airplane, like the submarine
destroyer and the mine, has added to
the dangers to which battleshipe are
exposed, but these have not made the
battlesh1p obsolete" it is stated.
The report urges the highest devel-
opment Of airplane offensive and the
speedy development Of anti-craft ar
mament to offset advances by other
nations in this mode of warfare.
