Mary sighed. So Raymond had a
girl Well, she had known that he
would get one sooner or later. His
father began to court her when he
was about Raymond's age. She ap-
proved of young men marrying early
Still she did think that Raymond
might have found some one better
than mere office girl. OF course she
might be sweet and good and pretty,
but business women seldom made
good housewives, and Raymond was
so used to good housewifery that he
was sure TO miss it. That spelled
trouble from the beginning.
Il wish he'd taken Harriet Holton,"
she said to herself. Noble has al
ways raved about that girl. l never
saw her. but. any girl that Noble
would think fit for his son would
be sure to be all right. Then, too,
Noble and Tom were college mates,
and Noble has money and Tom a
good business. Between them Ray
mond would be sure to get along. It's
too bad"
Noble telephoned from the farm
that Jester hadn't sown the lime,
and he was going to see about it. So
Mary had pickup" lunch by her
self. The club met at 8, and she
decided to attend the meeting but
just as she was dressing the doorbell
rang. At the door stood a girl. And
such girl! Mary liked her face the
instant she saw it, so rosy, sensible,
sound, and sweet it was.

breathlessly, my name is Harriet
Holton. Father used to be very
good friend of Mr.. Boyd's. He is yet"
She smiled.

German

A movie film that costs $500, ,0O0
to $4,000 to produce in our country
can be turned out for $4,000 to $12,-
600 in Germany. A senate committee
hears that from Paul NJ. Turner of
New York during tariff hearings.
The movie people are on the wrong
track.
Their logical protection against
foreign competition is to make bet
ter pictures.
If comparative production figures
are as far out of line as Turner
claims, raising the tariff on imported
films from 80 per cent to the sug-
gested so per cent would not make
any great deal of difference.
Movie competition is a matter Of
quality of product, with production
costs and prices secondary.

the bed, to replace the long used un
der sheet, it was found that there
were many wrinkles in JAMS bed, and
crumbs of food as well as small par
ticles OF plaster that had worked free
from the plaster cast that encased the
child's broken leg.
Crumbs a Frequent Cause
These, the nurse explained, were
most frequent causes of bed sores, or
pressure sores. A bed she said,
should be kept smooth and dry be-
meath a patient. This is easily ac-
complished by using small clean
whisk broom on the lower sheet after
each time the patient has had food.
For crumbs have an uncanny way OF
slipping down the necks of bed-ridden
patients and lodging on the lower
sheet.
All bony prominences, such as ell
bows and heels and shoulder blades,
are liable to pressure sores, the nurse
explained, while JAMS mother listened
patiently and quite gratefully.
A change OF position, dry smooth
sheets, an occasional rubbing with a
soft bath towel to stimulate the circu-
lation, and generous use of soap and
water, followed by a brisk rubbing
with pure talcum powder warded off

YOU AND |

A Brooklyn hospital 'phoned James
Crowder, painter, that his father was
dead. During the funeral, Crowder
discovered that the man in the cof-
fin was a stranger. He rushed to
the hospital, and found his father
alive.
Now Crowder is rejoicing. But he
went through as much grief and
misery as if his father really had
died.
This shows the power of imagina-
ton, our ruler.
Grief is caused, not by the actual
death itself, but by the reaction on
the mind-the thought of deaths toll.
The real life is thought, not ma
terial things.
How much of what you thoroughly
believe is really imaginary? Half?

Just Between Ourselves

We all need pleasures in our lives
Most OF us manage to get more or
less. Some of us are always post
poning the time. when l have put
Mary through school, or the boys
through college; when the new home
is bought or furnished; when so many
more acres of land become ours-then
ven have time for enjoyment" So
we say. But it isn't safe to postpone
enjoyment-for the chance for it may
escape us.
Yes. we all need pleasure. Not so

minute effervesces and then dies
down to dregs, though even these may
have a certain use in varying life's
monotony. The trouble with this va

wholesome ones.

Prices

In Russia prices are 52,S00 times
higher than in 1914, says Ekono-
micheskaya Zhizn. That is the name
OF a Moscow newspaper, not mi

The ssituation over there is about
the same as if you were paying $1S.-
600 now Tor a dozen eggs in Phoe-
nix.
Prices and money circulation fol-
low each other. The Soviet has
printed about siA trillions of paper
rubles. It's economists say that even
this enormous sum isn't enough. They
want to multiply 1t by seven and a
half.
Think of Russia when American
prices seem a problem.

Depression

Only about a seventh of all COM
