The query l wouldn't make wass { And if you do think Pm a sheltered .2 life darling-where did you get that. impression? Who gave it to- you ? ! Was it my husband? But this was Mabel Storrs' replvt to the question I put to her - the { question I choked back wttha an ache3 in my throat: I T thought a man of MT.

But if you ever agaln call yourself an employe' in the | tone of that and nothing more-T,I { see about having you enjoined And now to prove that we're friends and |, that the friendship is based on some-si thing besides Harrison & Co-listen to this: I'm about to go into busi- l ness on my own account.

 So, that's why you began by ask ing if I needed more money?"
 Amazed at this reply I stared at
 her and then both burst out laughing.

 Mabel Storrs' face darkened and she stared at me angrily. Her voice was curt and concise as she replied:

ADVICE TO THE L0VELORN

1 Who Occupies a Unique Position As An Authority on the Problems of Love and Romance Ellen is only IS and alone in the, world. She is desperately unha ppy because the boy she loves is a gam bier. He makes his money easily when he makes it. He's generally out of 8 job and looking around for another which will give him enough 1 freedom for him to indulge in his fla l Vorite "craps.' s1
 1 He keeps promising her that if any, thing worth while comes along hell settle down and make the most of his opportunity. But he never looks for real work And Ellen begs me to tell her some way of finding happiness with this lover of hers.
 Mary says she adores her fiance, but that her parents are cruel and stubborn in their prejudice against him. She says he has had a lot of hard luck and just can't keep a job. The men with whom he works are never. fair to him. The work he can get never appeals to him. He likes to take things easy, but he assures her that when he gets real chance he will seize upon it and make some thing of it.. And she, to. begs me to show her the way to happiness
 But" she adds, don't join my parents in advising me to give up the man love I can't live without him even though I feel that he hates work and doesn't want to bother exert ing himself
 What chance ofa happiness is there for Mary or Ellen if she persists in linking her life with that of a man who won't try to make something of himself? What chance has any wom- an when she joins her fate with that of a man who has no sense of his re- sponsibiiity to himself, to her, or to life?

 dicate
 The day after I commissioned Car lotta to find me an office for my new business venture I te1ephoned Mabel Storrs,-and asked -her to meet me for lunch. She agreed with the prompt friendliness which reminded me for the second time of Betty.
 We met at the-time and place ap- pointed, greeted each other with the brief, ,frieud1iness- -tWo-men might have shown, and then found a table and gave a concise and, simple order. After that I got, down to o-the- business of the day.
 i've news for you.' L announced But first want to fire two ques- tions at you: Any news from Jim :? And any returns from the Arkansas country?' ?''
 Mabel Storrs eyes met mine with a leaping warmth which told me she hadn't missed the camaraderie in my | calling my husband Jim as to 8 good and accepted friend. Her an- swer clinched the impression to fact. Your husband isn't near a post of flee. just now, that's clear. For evi- 1 shortage of mail the office is endur- ing" she smiled. But the Arkansas matter is splendidly taken care of thanks to your premptness-and bank account I paid off the note. That little strip of land have such a queer hunch about is still in the possession of Harrison & Co.,
 Need any more money?" I tossed it off lightly, though with humping heart. The future of the office I had pledged myself to estab- fish actually depended upon her re- ply. If. Jim's business needed my next rent check for the apartm ent how could I let myself in for the expense of starting an office-and yet how could I fail to pursue the course to which I'd committed myself? For a moment I faced the problem of bor- rowing the money on which to finance my beginning as an advertis- inf consu1tant. Then Mabel Storrs' strong, resonant voice replied to my question concerning the affairs of Harrison & Co:
 I'm all right - not only for the present but for the future, too. That I'll promise myself, rather than you you brave, ever-ready person. I've fallen down on the job once by letting you bear the burdens MT. Harrison wanted you saved from. And yet I don't seem to be properly ashamed since it has put us a footing of understanding. No. Mrs. Harrison. no more loans. No more financing by you. I'm going to see this through now-if I have to do it-on a shoe string
 Good for you" I laughed. .'And now you must listen to the tale of how I plan to see. a job of my own through on-a shoestring"
 What are you up to now?" aues- tfoned Mabel Storrs eagerly
 You sound as if you were ready to say Go to it!' and yet only a little while ago you had qualms about my going back to Ha1dane's.'' l. ban tered. .
 T didn't know you then" she re- turned seriously. T didn't realize that you aren't the cIinging vine I'd expected to find. I know you now as a, seh-reliant, sturdy woman who has to do her bit and have some form of Se1f-expression, even though she's found the love of her life"
 And did you think I was the sort of woman to fold my hands and sit

proud in the consciousness that they are not beaten-that they will go on and win in the end
 Sheer grit is the thing which makes man conquer his own weakness and force himself to go on working and striving when he is tired to the point of exhaustion.
 The man who is looking for an easy berth seldom finds it-or has any satisfaction of it if it does come to him. I'm not going to discuss the evils of gambling, the weakness of trusting to chance togive what a stur- dy soul would fight to acquire. But I'm just going to remind Ellen and Mary-and all the "EIIens" and "Marys'-that stability is the only thing which a man must have if he is to be the trusted, honored mate of a woman of any character.

Railroad Ownership of Boat Lines
 Should Be Allowed" Says
 '. Army Official
 Repeal of the law prohibiting rail- roads from owning and operating boat lines was urged by Maj. Gen. Lansing H. Beach, chief of engineers of the United States army, in a recent ad- dress before the National Rivers and Harbors Congress
 General Beach declared that com petition between the railroads and wa = ter carriers was mistake and he pre- dicted that great development of wa ter way transportation in this coun- try is inevitable.
 Consid er-able legislation, General Beach advocated. as necessary to the development of the waterways and consequent transportation economies. Primarily he would give the Interstate Commerce Commission supervision over all water routes.
 Competition between the railroads m dthe waterways is all a mistake. said General Beach. The Interstate Commerce Commission should be re- quired to exercise the same supervi- sion over common carriers by water that it now does by rail. There should be no difference between common carrier on the water and a common carrier on the railroads.
 The Interstate Commerce CommIs- sion should also be required to pre- scribe the n1inuGnum rates as we'll as the maximum rates That would pre- vent a carrier putting the price down below the cost of operation simply for the purpose of squeezing out rival-1 don't care whether the competitor is a rail line orr boat line, he should not be allowed to do it
 ..Congress should also be asked to enact a clause to the effect that no common carrier should perform trans portation serviceat less than the act uaI cost Of that service.
