Dick Defoe2" implored Nita.
Richard Defoe was a friend or
Garrick, graduate of great en-
gineering school, son of famous
engineer and already an inventor
of no mean fame OF late he had
turned all his attention to radio
Invention in which he seemed to
have a strange aptitude. His
work on wireless photo transmits
sion, his perfection OF a wireless
dictagraph and wireless telauto-
graph had won him wide recognl-
ton. Just now he was at work on
radio boat, radio automool4e
and radio airplane.
The mere mention of Dick con-
stituted an added reason Why
Garrick felt impelled to come to
the assistance of Nita in distress.
TELL me something about the
girls" he suggested.
''Well, there's Vira Gerard.
You know her, the blonde vamp'
they've nicknamed her, ever since
she went into that amateur motion
picture the girls made at the
school of the Misses Place. She
thinks she is a new Talmadge or
Pickford 49,. really wants
to be the society girl with a
career on the screen.
Then, there's that Rae Larue,
who has been the guest of one or
another of the girls all summer.
Just between you and me and the
listening post, T think she's an

pered that she used to be a cab
aret singer or a dancer or some
thing. With ambitions. Any
way, she's been taken up by the
girls Of the younger set and it's
not for the likes Of US, Guy, to
tell the young idea how it shall
shoot away its time any more.
These dance palaces and caba-
rets," pondered Garrick, consider

SHATTERED IDOLS.

Among the newspapers Of the wide world
there is none learned. none knowing in the use
Of words none that does not fall. now and then;
into silly errors. For one long while. the New
York Sun. was the newspaper mans bible. Its
usage was the correct usage, regardless. But
even the Sun at its zenith misused words now
and again. Recently, the Christian Science
Monitor has stood, among daily newspapers, as
perhaps the most strictly accurate in the use
of words. 1t comes therefore, as tremendous
shock to find in the.columns of the Monitor. in
an article ON Sinclair Lewis, this: "0ne would
never suspicion that he is popular author"
That's bad. It is nightly bad. Nearly any
thing else. could be forgiven. Any small
thing like He taken his disagree from YALE" or
rThsre was never no question of his integrity
those might h3ye been overlooked as mere
slips Of the pen. But suspicion" as verb!
Some time we shall recover our respect for the
Monitor as a master Of words, but it will be a
long. long time-possibly until next year.

days ago the newly elected president OF Pc
land was assassinated. A comparatively short
time before that political assassipations In
Germany made lurid reading. Recent attempts
on the lives of high officials in Great Britain
show that the dastardly practice Of political
murder does not recognize national boundaries

Old Man of the Mountain who, centuries ago,

Nothing IL to be sained by claiming too
much for the kind Of prohibition which has
been effective in the United States. The heavy
reduction in liquor stocks means, of course
that fabulous prices have been paid for the

that 1t has effected marvellous economic saw

against restoration of the saloon. Even the

The leader of the moral drive. who is also the
champion of the Ku K1ux Khan in those parts,

those clergymen who remain silent before this

upon right to play the game are set down as
not being patriots or true citizens. The excuse
that the doctor prescribed It as exercise, needed
