Lillian Underwood lost no time IN
getting Katherine Sonnet, Mr.. Cab
ineros and me away from the cafe
to which she had taken US for the pur-
pose of determining whether or not
Grace Draper was in New York. We
had not only seen Grace Draper there,
.but, to our great surprise, Harry I'm
derwood, also, whom we had supposed
to be still in South America. His
keen eyes had penetrated the DISCUSSES
in which Lillian had clothed herself,
Katherine and me, and he had not only
warned us but had managed so that
our departure from the cafe was un-
noticed by his beautiful and dangerous
companion.
A hurried word from Lillian on our
way out had sent a man for a taxi and
one was waiting for US as we passed
through the door. Once inside it, Lii
liam gave little relaxed sigh of relief,
leaned hack against the cushion and
closed her eyes. My heart ached for
the anguished humiliation knew must
be hers at the anomalous position in
which she had been placed. Harry
Underwood, although he had deserted
her in SO caddish a manner, was still
her husband. She had been forced not
only to witness his entrance into the
cafe with the dangerously beautiful
girl who had caused US both so much
trouble but had been compelled to ac-
cept from his hands the favor of our
exit unnoticed from the place. I was
very sure, however, that these We're
ouly minor fears to the one great
dread which possessed her, the dread
that the man she so lately called hus-
band, was in the employ of his coun-
try's enemies, and that she might be
called upon to track him down.
But knew Lillian Underwood. She
would not falter in her duty no matter
what it cost her, nor would she waste
many minutes In idle regrets. We had
scarcely travelled a block, before she

The words were more an assertion
than a question. and the elderly Latin
replied quietly:

Nothing" Evidently Mr.. Cabineros
could be as laconic as Lillian herself.

RoTARY's SEVENTEENTH BIRTH.
DAY ANNIVERSARY

Today, seventeen years ago, Paul
Harris. Chicago lawyer. outlined to
three OF his friends, the scheme of an
organization that has since become
world wide.
Paul Harris evidently at that time
did not anticipate to what strength
that organization would grow, and to
what wide range of usefulness his
little meeting would WELD in the af-
fairs of the nation. and even in the
world.
From a membership Of nineteen at
the end of the year 1905, Rotary has
now grown to membership totaling
$4,000 members, and with one club in
existence then, 1t has increased to
1881 embracing 20 countries of the
world.
The Rotarian. the official organ of
the Rotary Clubs, has the following
TO say regarding the organization and
its founder:
years Little did Paul Harris and his
few friends of the first club dream
that Rotary was to encircle the world
in seventeen years time. Literally it
has done that. Club No. l. organized
at Chicago on February %. 1905.
Thence to Canada-to Great Britain
and Ireland-to India-to Australia
to South Africa-and back again al
most to Chicago Club No. 1901 at
Gary. Indiana. And all without one.
failure being recorded among clubs
no charter ever forfeited-no dead
clubs-no clubs that do not pay dues
or are not represented at the annual
conventions. Is 1t any wonder that
such an idea was to meet with either
instant failure or tremendous success?
THE principles of Rotary have been
the possession of the civilized world
for two thousand years or more. Only
the application of these principles to
a mans business life-as well as his
social life are new. Great teachers
of the past have enunciated these
principles which have been set down
as matter of history. They can best
be summed UP in words of Him who
first said, Whatsoever We would that
men should do unto you, do We even
so unto Them"

More space was given by most news
papers to the Arbuckle case than to
any other two events of the time COM
| bined. Now all news is sidetracked
| for the Taylor murder mystery.
Why?
Because both cases offer filth for
a filth gorging public. The publicity
Arbuckle has received as a motion pic
ture comedian has made him an inter
nationally known figure. Taylors as
sociations with the two famous stars,
Mary Miles Minter and Mabel Nor
mand, makes the story of his death
interesting the world over.
No, don't blame the editors. Blame
the readers. The editors know what
their subscribers want. They know
| that large percent of the people
would much rather read the booze
parties, intoxicated girls, pajamas,
pink nightgowns, weird dances, sug-
gestive talk and death among the no.
tables than things worth while.
No estimate of the damage done the
youth of the country by the publica-
ton of these sordid stories can ever
be made. The writer's make their
yarns fascinating, alluring to those
who do not think deeply. And it's
not only the youth who are damaged
but countless thousands of adults
whose minds are not strong.
Then there is a damage to the mo-
ton picture industry. The actors and
actresses as class are about like 9TH
er humans-no better, no worse. The
people who are not shocked by the
stories of the Arbuckle and Taylor
cases smile "meaningly'' and think
what wonderful life it must be in
Hollywood" The narrow who pro-
fess to be shocked think all screen
persons are like those who have erred
It's a strange world, this world of
ours. We believe we are civilized and
boast of our purity and all that sort
of bunk, but after all. we are only a
degree removed from savagery.

STALLING THE SOLDIER

Congress is still juggling with legis-
iation purposed to provide compensa-
ton for the men who did the fighting
in France. 1t is not question wheth-
err or not the former soldiers are en-
titled to the funds they are asking.
Our statesmen apparently can't find
way to get the money
But you'll observe there is little diff
ficulty in appropriating millions for
other and less deserving causes than
that of the ex-service man. The delay
in awarding the bonus has been little
short of outrageous, inasmuch as there
is no clubbing over the justice of the
proposed awards. 1t is now that the
former soldiers need financial assist
ance, and not year hence. A great
many of the ex-service men are in
need. thousands of them are tramping
the streets in search of employment.
The ex-service man in need today
may have regular employment next
spring and then he will not be looking
to his government to tide him along.
Therefore. the need for immediate con-
gressional action on the bonus bill is
apparent. The boy who fought in
France is not a beggar. Neither does
he expect his government to support
him. But he made great sacrifices
during the war. He went to the front
Lat small pay while his neighbors re-
Imained at home and reaped the bene-
fits of high war wages and profits.
Even though he had a job when he
got back from the front, he is entitled
to some compensation to make up in
part for the losses he sustained thru
his sacrifices. But when he is even
without a means of earning a liveli-
hood the government should realize
the urge for relief. Congress should
cease quihbling over ways and means
TO provide the soldiers bonus. There
is way easy to be found, and the
people are looking to congress to do
its duty in the premises.-Rock Island
