WHEN A WOMAN TELLS
BY RUTH AGNES ABELING

a girl adventufing in a worll--a-day
world.
But l didn't tell her because she
probably would have put love at
naught and called me a fool for hav-
ing turned down a man who could
support me WE'LL and in the rashness
of lonely moment | might have
agreed with her.
SO | have let her believe that am
one of those fair, frail parasites.
What people think has suddenly
come to have a very small place in
my scheme of existence.
AS | look back over my life which
seemed quite decent while | was lv-
ing 1T, | am shocked at the implied
, immortality Of it. l have flirted and
tempted and because | played safe
for myself | thought | was getting
away with it stainlessly!
Playing upon the feelings of men
has been an innocent and highly
amusing game to me, just as it has
been to all thoughtless girls of my
set.
But | have learned sex debts are
always collected somehow, some
| time. That is inexorable.
Strangely enough, l am not fear.
tul tonight as look toward my ex-
tremely uncertain future-I feel a
sort'of confidence that tomorrow will
mean my opportunity.

EDITO RIAL .
DRESIDENT Harding has indica

president Harding has indleat-
ed favor for an increase in first
class letter postage as a means of IN
creasing government revenue. Net
income from the higher rate would be
turned into the United States treas,
ury for general purposes.
Congress, searching wildly for
sources from which revenue may be
wrung, thinks favorably of the idea
also.
So we may set it down as reason
ably certain that the increase will
be made. 1t will raise between $780,
100000 and $8O,0O0,0OO a year and
without costs of collection. You'll
simply pay the postmaster three cents
for a postage stamp instead Of two
cents; or two cents for a postcard in
stead of one. Very simple.

for railroad labor. while the carriers
argued that the labor should be COM
puted in terms of the accomplishment
OF given result and hence the words
in their meaning included quality as
we'll as wages of labor.
The words cost of labor, the
commission held, do not. we think,
open the door to q comparison of the
quality or efficiency of labor. To hold
otherwise would be contrary to the
plain intent of the provlso. for 1t is
impossible by resort to the accounts
of the carriers to determine the rela-
tive efficiency of labor at various
periods. and the introduction of this
indefinite and intangible factor would
have relegated the accounting test to
the very limbo of controversy and con-
flict OF opinion which 1t was designed
to avoid.
"If 1t had been the intent to include
the factor of quality or effectiveness
or efficiency, whatever 1t may be
termed, this would have been done In
apt and unmistakable language and
not by the strained construction of a
phrase susceptible of simpler interpre-
tatlon. This view is strongly confirmed
by the history Of the negotiations

WASHINGTON. Aug. 6.-Cost of labor
allowances to railroads for the six
months guarantee period after Gov
ernment control will include only in
creased wages and not alleged Sin
efficiency of labor" factors under a
decision handed down to-day by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Under the ruling the carriers must
stand any loss incidental to alleged
unwillingness or inability of labor to
perform. during the guarantee period
OF private control, as much work as
before the war. The question involves
the basis of claims by the railroads
against the Government for labor costs
In operation and maintenance.
Claims founded upon alleged inef-
fectiveness of labor during the period
amount to some tens Of millions OF
dollars" the decision said.
The controversy centred on the
meaning of the words cost OF labor
as they were used In the standard con.
tracts between the Government and
the railroads at the time the roads
were taken over during the war. The
Director of Railroads con.
tended that the contract intended &c
guarantee the rates Of pay per unit

Gee Whiz! Rockefellers

HOW carefully the children of
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., are
kept in ignorance Of the fact
that they are prospective heirs
to the greatest fortune in the
world is illustrated by story
Mr.. Rockefeller told on the Bar
Harbor Express yesterday on his
way to this city.
Mr.. Rockefeller has an estate
at Seal Harbor, Me, where John
d. Rockefeller Sd, his eldest son,
has been amusing himself with
a very old and very dilapidated
rowboat, at which a neighbor's
boy, Seal Harbor native, turned
up his nose.
"Why don't you have a motor
boat?" asked the native lad.
"Gee whiz. Who do you think
we are-Vanderbilts?" asked the
grandson of the worlds richest
man.
