Trouble
\ By Idah
I McGlone Gibson


Phil seemed quite as surprised tc
see Sheila in my room as she was
to see him.
Both were trif1e embarrassed
Phil held telegram in his hand,
but when he caught view Of Sheila
he did not hand it to me.
Before he could speak / broke
in; 81 am glad you have come,
Phil. / want you to help me per-
suade Miss ElIiston that duty is
not the only thing that always calls
a pretty girl.
"She has just been telling me
that Dr. Thornton has persuaded
her that she would not be doing
right by staying with us and having
good time, when it is possible for
her to go back into hospital and
work herself into ugliness and fraz-
zled nerves over some old hypo-
chondriac who thinks of nothing
but his own ills and expects her
to think of nothing but them also. "
Phil looked at Sheila rather stiff
fly and said, in an almost sullen
tone: II am sure, Kay, that if you
cannot persuade Miss Elliston that
you need her quite as much as she
needs you nothing that | could say
will be Of any use in keeping her. ="
Even 9heila looked at him re-
proachfully, while ] bit my lip in
vexation.
Mrs. Wilmington knows that
would rather stay here" Sheila
spoke firmly, Shut there is such
thing in this world as having to
do the thing you don't want to do.
Both your sister and you, Mr.. Spen-
Ger, must have done this many
times"
Phil said nothing. l could not un-
derstand his sudden change of
heart, but had an inkling of what
was wrong when, after sSheila left,
he remarked:
II received a wireless from Su-
same Jones this afternoon. ! went
up TO your room before dinner, but
your maid told me you were dress
ing, so thought 1 would wait until
you were alone"
1t seemed to me that | had never
known Phil to be so impolite as he
had been to Sheila, and now, al
though he handed me the telegram,
he did not allow me to read it until
he asked abruptly;
"What kind of man is DR..
Thorntoni Is he good looking, young
and unmarried
NO. Phil; he is neither young
nor eligible. He is at least 90 years
old and has a wife, children and
grandchildren. !"
'Then what is the secret of his
influence over Sheilai She seemed
to be wild to come and be here with
you, sister, until she talked to that
man, What could he have said to
herf l think III go over and punch
his head"
MY dear Phil, you'll do nothing
Of the kind. Do you not know there
are women born into this world with
a overshad
a great mother-heart in them which
overshadows everything else' They
must take care of everyone who
comes near them.
Il have been thinking that. Sheila
is one of these. Her devotion to me
has been tireless since she came to
me as a nurse. For so young and
pretty girl she seems to radiate a
kind of motherhood devotion that
makes her more fascinating than if
one only looked upon her as a girl"
But she is girl. don't see
that in her at all, said Phil. /
think she is girl like other girls

LOWER RAILROAD RATES.

II Is a pity that the question Of low
er or higher railroad rates should be
thrown into politics. That, however,
is what the farm bloc in the Senate
seems to be bent on doing. II the rail
roads should override the jurisdiction

WOULD HAVE HARDING AGAIN.

Notwithstanding the results OF the
recent election, Secretary Of Commerce
Hoover publicly pins his faith 10 the
reorganization OF President Harding by
the Republican National Convention of
1924. by that time" he says. the
public will be highly appreciative Of
the sanity and progressive character
Of the policies that have brought this
country through the reconstruction
period"
II this prophecy is TO be realized
there will have to be a wonderful
change in public opinion during the
coming eighteen months. Certainly
there is no evidence OF such a change
at this time.
SO far as President Harding is con-
cerned, it is practically certain that
like his predecessors, he will 'hankei

THE JUVENILE COURT.

The annual report OF J. Paul Green,
probation officer and Clerk OF the
Juvenile Court. which was submitted
to the Court of General Sessions. last
week. contained some interesting In
formation about this important branch
OF our law enforcement administration.
II showed that the court had dispos-
ed q 1,l76 cases of Juvenile deiin-
auency during the year. indicating a
disposition Of our youth to tread the
path Of wrong-doing which should
arouse the concern OF all who feel an
interest in the cause of good citizen
ship. Also, the probation officers in
vestigated a large number OF COM
plants. interviewing 5.io1 persons and
making 4.ls4 reports.
The~xperience OF the Juvenile Court
i will be admitted. has clearly shown
the wisdom. of segregating youthful
offenders from those OF mature age
and separating them. during prelimi-
nary periods. trial and punish
ment. from offenders who are sen,
TO prison. And this fact empha-
sizes the importance OF the rec
ommendation of oflcer Green that
provision be made for. a detention

ems much more adapted 20 the purpose
than are the present inadequate quar-.
ters: This is n pressing need. as a
tack OF such accommodations is bound
to hamper the good work Of the Juve'

This Is one OF the matters 20 which
the Legislature probably Will give at
ten;ion during the coming session.

LEGISLATIVE ATTORNEYS.

The Dover Delawarean,. in its cur
rent issue. make. urgent appeal 10
the Democratic majority OF the next
Legislature to inaugurate an economy
OF some extent by dispensing with the
services of the attorneys who have
been made part Of the regular
oficiary OF each house during the past
quarter OF century. There is a
practical element in this appeal.
For many year. legislative attorneys
were unknown 'as part of the legis-
ative machinery. Members OF the Leg
islature who desired measures OF pub
lie importance for introduction would
have them drawn by an attorney and
the Legislature would pay the bills
thereby incurred. But legal charges
were moderate in'those days. and the
records will show that at no session
Of the General Assembly did the allow
ances for this service begin 10 equal
the compensation allowed in recent
years 10 any one OF the attorneys now
considered essential
The retaining Of legislative attor-
neys in plain words. was merely a sub
terfuge for dispensing party patronage
at the public expense. Seldom has sny
real necessity for their service beer
shown. and legislative mistakes be-
came more notorious after the innova.

LAUSANNE AND CLEMENCFAU,

IL was true as a general PROPOSE
ton during the war, IL was true at
the Washington ConferenNe. and il
continues to be true at Lausanne
that American and British interna-
tiOnal policy go along togethey. The
American demand for the Turkish
open door and the American dislike
Of the San Reno oil agreement, the
last being a practical expression Of
the purpose Of the first. are promptly
taken into consideration by England.
and Lord Curzon announces Britain
will support the American position.
This is important in itself. but IL
has an added emphasis and an added
meaning at this particular moment.
EX-Premier Clemenceau is touring
the United States with a message.
which, II needed. means virtually the
annulment OF the informal alliance
between England and America and
the formation OF an informal alliance
between America and France.
II the thoughts OF the British For
eign Office have been turned in the
direction of NJ. Clcmenceau. as they
undoubtedly have. IL was not at all
bad stroke on the part OF Lord
Curzon, when he announced the "oil'
policy OF Britain In Turkey. The de.
cision of England 10 support IN,
United Staes would not have beer

promptncss and the fiatness OF tha'

regarded seriously in London. Thi

coriiality of the American and British
Governments even than the ad an

Great Brltain's most delicate and
perhaps, most difficult diplomati
tack is so TO shape events that team

THE FIRST RESULT.

The first result of the American n
bomb tossed into the middle of the
Near East Peace Conference on Satur-
day came before the dust of the
explosion had time To settle. Lord
Curzon rose on Monday morning and
announced Great Britain's support Of
the American "open-door" policy In the
Near East.
In the same breath ne slew San
Reno agreement that sought TO divide
the Mossul oil regions i'm Northern
Mesopotamia between Great Britain
and France. The United States had
beer protesting against this for more
two years.
In the view bf Paris. the American
"open-door" stand dwarfs everything
else at Lausanne. Certainly. a long
list Of concessions. grabs and CONNER
cial privileges has bcen showed into
the discard by British support Of the
American Wow. The Franch nose is
rather out of joint since that dramatic
Intervention that has caused the Turks
TO turn from France and look 10 Amer
lea as a more dislnterestcd and there
fore "A better friend.
This II a very considerable victory
for America and for the traditional
American policy ot equal 20 all. The
Turks welcome a.. for they believe
American capital in Turkey will be faI
less dangerous than British. French
or Italian capital. America will hav,
no political axes To grind in Mosul.
Thus far the much-criticized. left
handed and awkward observer -deiega,,

American demands.

PRESIDENT NOT PLEASED.

Although the House OF Representa-
tives passed his Ship Subsidy bin by
a substantial majority. It Is said Presi-
dent Harding is not entirely satisfied
with the result. The House attached
some amendments which are not
pleasing to him. and\vhich he regards
as materially impairing the original
and generous elements OF the original
measure.
Nor Is II likely the President will
lie any better pleased at the fate OF
the bill in the Senate. There was no
probability this morning that the bill
would be passed by that body before
noon. when the special session expired
by Limitation and the regular Deccm-
Der session opened. Nor is there prom
Use that Il will have any better sue
cess during the regular session which
will expire by limitation next March :
And its chances in the new Congress
will be even more improbable.
President Harding must now know
he made a serious mistake when he
called the Congress in special session
in the hope Of driving through this
unpopular measure. He imposed ar
unnecessary expense to no good pur'
nose. and also brought upon himself
a rebuke from hi. party majority II
the Senate.
