Polly and PduI-dnd Paris
By ZOE BECKLEY
Chapter IA Girl on Main Street

Polly lived in a nice town In In
diana, where there we're largeish
department stores. three movies, a
select section" and the proper
complement Of banks. factories and
Office buildings.
The Newlands. Polly's folk, had a
cream -colored clapboard house on
the fringe OF the select section.
There wasn't much money. Mamma
Newland lad a little income from
the life insurance. but Polly and her
sister Bert mad gone-and gladly
straight from high school into a
bustling world OF workaday.
Bertha had always been called
"the pretty one. Polly. they usually
hastened to add, had the brains
and a certain charm Of her own"
that drew you TO her more slowly
than tie shining beauty OF Bert, but
held you more surely in the end.
Bert had married. Of course - a
looking chap who worked in
the same bsnk and was as surely
going to be paying teller, cashier
and ultimately president, as was the
staring white marble building itself
TO become mellowed into gray and
form the center OF the towns big
business.
Polly's love affairs had not been
what Aunt Sue (who lived with the
Newlands) called brilliant. There
had been TIE slim. shy high school
principal who lent her books and
took her to the few good concerts
that came ,to Lester Falls.
But when he looked up one sweet
summer afternoon from the book he
was reading to her in the canoe, ana
applied in his own behalf the love
words OF the poet. Polly failed TO
thrill
She had known Re would some
time summon courage to propose.
And there were days when she per-
suaded herself that Alan Conger
would be a good husband.
But they were mostly days when
she was tired Of the Office, tired OF
her employers thick. cigar-mufiied
dictation. tired Of the eternal grind
Of walking home at night through
tie same old streets, greeting the
same old people. doing the same old
things evening after evening tha
Lester Falls offered as amusements
Always Aunt Sues eternal remark
that il was "just as easy TO make
brilliant marriage as a stupid one

hear Aunt Sues snin whenever th'
thought came OF marrying Alan

For Aunt Sue had a special sniff for
Alan.
Hes a spoopsy," was her some
what original term for him. He'll
stay a schoolmaster all his life. He
isn't the kind thatlr ever be presi-
dent. And Le'l always have colds
in the head.
Polly liked Alan and felt a little
sorry for him-perhaps because she
believed in Aunt Sues dubious
prophecies. But she couldn't marry
him.
Then there was Charlie Briggs. in
the wholesale grocery business.
Charlie was awfully decent and
what Aunt Sue regarded as "a
conner" and sure to be successful.
But it was no use. polly couldn't

Edison Before the
Senate Committee
He Gave information Concern
ing Muscle Shoals But De-
clined to Give Advice

Washington, May 20.-Thomas
A. Edison, the electrical wizard,
gave members of the senate agri-
culture committee in executive scs.
sion today the benefit of his wis
dom as applied to development Of
the government properties at Mus
Gle Shoals, Alabama, but despite
all Of his knowledge was said to
have been unable to give commit
tee members what they most
sought-advice on acceptance Of
the various private offers.
The noted inventor, although he
visited Muscle Shoals some weeks
ago with Henry Ford, his friend,
asked to be excused from answer
ing when members began to ply
him with questions as to the mer-
it's and dement's of. the Ford offer
for lease and purchase Of the
properties. He referred to the va
rious private offers as "hard nuts
to crack and the decision as to
acceptance or rejection Of them
as a task in the performance Of
which he did not envy the sena-
tors.
Mr.. Edison was understood to
have told the senators he was
convinced, however, that ccertillz-
err could be manufactured at Mus
Gle Shoals more cheaply than was
being done now by any fertilizer
companies or could be done by any
of the existing methods. Commit
tee members also said the inventor
gave them valuable information
regarding rich deposits of potash,
limestone and other minerals
which, he said, existed in the
Muscle Shoals territory and had
stated that the project should be
developed beyond question. fIe
also was said to have discussed
with intimacy the various process
es used in fixing nitrogen from the
air and in the manufacture of fer
tilizer ingredients.

THE MAY
FESTIVAL

The annual May Festival of the
Civic League held on Thursday,
May 18th, proved a gratifying sue
cess, both financially and socially.
The weather conditions all day
hid been far from favorable, but
il the afternoon the sun shohe
forth, and a large crowd was on
hand to enjoy the many attrac-
tons.
The candy. cake and ice cream
booths were soon besieged by
eager. children, and the fish pond
proved very popular. All too soon
it was emptied Of all fish"
The entertainment in the after
noon was planned and directed by
Mrs. McGrew, ably assisted by
Mrs. Lebby and MI. Mccarthy.
This proved one OF the most de-
hghtful features OF the festival, and
being well patrohized, added quite
a sum to the general fund.
At supper time the refreshment
booth was kept busy and on all
sides were heard words of praise
for the excellence of the food fur
nished.
Mrs. Courtright, Mrs. Ray
Schwartz and Miss Mears having
charge of the May pole dance and
Miss Dukes the folk dances, had a
happy bunch of little girls, who
plainly. gave evidence of having
been carefully, thoughtfully drill
ed. Every one enjoyed the grace
full. dancing and they We're loudly
applauded.
Mrs. John Riley kindly assisted
at the piano for the dances. The
league wishes to extend thanks to
one and all who helped to make
the festival a success.
While not SO we'll attended as in
previous years, the proceeds of the
festival will materially help in the
playground work this summer.
