at their heels when they turned
abruptly off at the head of lane
between two tall hedges. He was
about to continue to the village
when he turned to find a woman be-
side him. She was dressed in tail
ored suit Of brown which displayed
the buxom lines of her figure with
rather startling frankness; a face
that was undeniably pretty although
of a coarse type, and bold hazel
eyes gazed INTO his from beneath

he realized now that she might be

MINING CONGRESS TO |
 HOLD ANNIVERSARY
Organization Pounded 25 Years Ago.-HoldS Convention October IA

Cleveland O., April 1.-The Amer lean Mining Congress, representing mining interests of the country. will observe its a5th anniversary at its annual convention here October 9 to 14. It will also celebrate a growth of mineral production 'n the United 707,000, ,000 in 1920, compared with a value of s546,992.bs2 in 1897, ac- cording to figures of the congress Canada, Mexico and several South American countries have been invit- ed to participate in an elaborate ex- position of mines and mining equip ment to be held in the Public Hall, which was recently completed here Ht an approximate cost Of s6.ooo,ooo.
 Delegations from all the important mining states are expected to attend. Thirty-nine states and territories were represented at the convention in Chi cago last October.
 Officials of the congress expressed a hope that 1922. like 1897, will bring revival of the mining indus try. In support of that hope they as- serted that demand for production of all klluS IS lICTtHSlfle anu lidt ii number of the large western copper mines have resumed operation.
 In detailing the development of the mining industry since the formation of the Congress, officials of the or ganizaton cited an increase in the output of coal mined in America from 17s,776,070 tons in 1897 to 69,55S,- GOO tons in 1920. Copper figures giv- en were 22o.571 tons for 1897 and 539,759 for 1920.
 "One of the most noticeable changes during the last 25 years" says statement issued by the Con- gress, has been the expansion of American interests overseas. The in ternationsl aspect of the convention and exposition will be in keeping with this change, and will indicate the op- portunities which are presented not only for the investment of American capital in mining in all parts of the world but of steady increase in the utilization of American mine equip ment and machinery in foreign mar kets"

 The most exclusive country club in Los Angeles turns the motion pie ture actor down cold, There are no ifs or and or huts about it. To be an actor or a director Is to be barred from the possibility of membership in that particular club.

To one of these prominent in the social and sporting activities of the fashionable Wiltshire district a celebrated and gifted writer and director did belong. He not only belonged but was chosen as member of the board of directors. This was pretty hot stuff. But the director managed to maintained his equipoise.

At the time he pointed out possible that the presence of the directors name among the board of directors seemed to be interfering with the membership campaign. Would the director be good enough

 New York, May 6.-The New York police department does not think so badly of the flapper.

 She's old fashioned, the flapper." said Mrs. Hamilton, she's more than old fashioned She's medieval. The flapper is throwbacl to the rem afssance, and I'm for her. Originally woman was the temptress. thou sand feet below mans level Then came the renaissance and woman be- came the saint, a thousand feet above mans head. Now we have the modern renaissance and like all throwbacks g to an ancient fashion the styles re- turn with a difference. The differ ence in this case Is that In the seconc renaissance woman hops down from her pedestal and stands on the level with men.
