BOWIE--It is only matter of a short time when Bowie will be com pelled to present an appearance to visitors that will more substantially demonstrate her faith in the San Si- mon Valley than it's general appear ance is now doing. The matter of general appearance means much to any community in soliciting new cit 'izenship, expanding it's commercial possibilities and enhancing it's pro- perty values, and no locality has any more need of such an effort nor has any more promise of profits resulting from such an effort than has Bowie.
 Main street should be parked it's Ientire length with a, row of shade trees down the center of it. This would in no wise interfere with any Improvements that might be needed to be made to the property on either side Of the street, and aside from beautifying the town would serve as a dividing line for street traffic, and later when the trees were large enough that their projections could be removed they would furnish an Ideal shaede beneath which to park cars. The generous disposition of the Southern Pacific officials has ever been, and is, of a tendency to cooperate with the people along it's Hines in all things that have for their 'object the development of the coun- try and the beautifying of the towns along their system.

 She was at the shelves, scanning the books. Her fond, her almost ten der sympathy made him, too, feel that 1t was rather fine. Her light words in her high, clear tone voiced exactly his feelings towards the books. Talk ing with her was, in the reception and return of his thoughts, nearer to read. ing book that delighted him than to anything else with which he could compare it. There was the same in terchange of ideas, not necessarily ex- pressed; the same creation and play of fancy, imagined, not stated.
 "
 She sat >briskly forward in the big armchair in which she faced him, making of the motion a movement as though throwing aside turn the con- versation had taken.- Well, go on, Marko. I'm not going to let you stop talking yet. 1 love that about how people get success nowadays. It's jolly true. 1 never thought of it be- fore. Yes, you're still a terribly thinky person, Marcho.

 He sock his head "It seems nice. That's all it seems. Look here, Mona, this really is rather interesting"
 Yes" she said. "Yes."
 Just so he used to bring ideas to her; just so, with ''Yes-yes," she used to receive them.
 But he went on. "Why, conven- tion, you know, it's the most mysteri- ous, extraordinary thing. It's a code society has built up to protect itself and to govern itself, and when you go into 1t it's the most marvellous code that ever was invented All sorts of things that the law doesn't give, and couldn't give, our conventions shove in on us in the most amazing by a lot of Mothor Grundy-ish old women, that's what's so extraordinary. You know, if all the greatest legal minds of all the agese had laid themselves out to make q social code the could never have got anywhere near the rules the people have built up for themselves.

 Look at this stuff there's been in the papers lately about what they cal lthe problem of the unmarried motehr. Now there's q brute of case for you: a girl gets into trouble and while she sticks to her baby she's made an outcast; every door is shut to her; her own people will have nothing to do with her; no one will take her in-so long as she's got the baby with her. That's convention and you can imagine cases where it's cruel beyond words. But it's no good cursing society about it. You cant help seeing that the convention is fundamently right and essential. Where on earth would pou be if girls with babies could find homes as easi- ly as girls without babies?" He smiled. You'd have babies pouring out all over the place. See it?'
 She nodded. T do think that's in-
