The Wife Who Wouldn't
Settle Down!
Sequel to ssBrides Will Be Brides''
By Lucille, Var, SLyke
equel to ssBrides Will Be Brides

between the talkative Mr.. Allen and
Richard. who was contining his at
I tentions almost entirely to the ma
| ture widow.
But after dinner, when the others
had settled themselves at bridge
, table, Richard strolled over to Mer-
RAMS side. There was nothing
! marked about their tete-a-tete; in
! deed Merriam said little, her fingers
! were busy with a basketful of wee
socks. She bent gravely over her
! homely task, asking the most casual
! questions about the Blaisdell family,
whom Richard had recently visited.
i But the sharp-eyed Sarah was
watching them. and Merriam was try
, ing hard not to fidget under her gaze.
For Sarah Knew very well that Rich
| ard had been an unsuccessful sultor
| for Merriam's hand.
\ In d sudden, defiant mood, Merriam
lifted her dark eyes.
Want to ride while, Rich?" she
| asked. so loudly that the others could
not help hearing.
| He was bit embarrassed as he
acquieSced
She caught up a sweater from the
hall bench. slipped it over her frock,
| called a casual adieu to the bridge
| players. and stepped out through the
side door to lead the way to the old
i stables that her father used for a
garage. She was joking lightly about
| her car and the absurd way she had
| acquired it. But to his surprise she
| motioned for him to take the wheel.
I'm just all in tonight, Rich"
she confessed. "Too much giddy-
gaddying has me just witchety. /
! couldn't stand Sarah's snoopety gaze
! a minute longer"
But. of course. you know" he said.
somewhat tactlessly, Sarah will tell
the world tomorrow that you took
me riding"
"Poof" she said "Who cares what
Sarah says? Or that cushiony old
cat Rayner. Only. Rich. that's what
wanted to talk about-those two and
one or two others guess" she man
aged to laugh. Every widow and
orphan in this town has her hooks
out to nab my dear old daddy. You
see, Aunt Alice has dashed off on
one of her tantrums. and poor old
! Peter is about done for, and they all
take such a kindly interest in my
dear old dad, They make me sick"
Il guess the old boy is safe" Rich
ard laughed Hes had years of
practice at Tending 'em off! Widows
and orphans, as YOU call 'em, have
pursued him long before this"
But this Rayner one is SO per-
sistent!' Merriam sighed. "And she
makes herself SO very agreeable,
Pretending all the time to love me
and the twins, and that she's here to
see us" She's in and out of the house
two or three times a day. and giving
a big dinner dance for me tomorrow
night, and dad is such goose that
he thinks she is just being nice be-
cause I'm visiting him"
He didn't answer her for a moment
And when he did it was with a rath, ,r
startling question.
Are you just visiting him." he
asked, almost roughly

It is easily the most exciting picture you will ever have the pleasure of seeing-hand-to- hand fights between Tarzan and two fullgrown, blood thirsty lions, spec tacular shipwreck stirring scenes in the underworld of Paris, of wild ami mals in their native haunts, adventure and a love story that threads the plot like a vein of gold. If you want to be lifted out of yourself and thrilled to the core, make sure that you see "The Revenge of Tarzan," tonight at 8 sharp.

 TRANSPORTS ARE TRANSFERRED Upon recommendation of the War | Department the great transport North ern Pacific was transferred to the Unit, ed States Shipping Board, effecting a saving of about $1,OOO,OOO to the gov ernment. The United States army transports Chaumont and Argonne were lent to the Navy Department, which otherwise would have needed to estimate for new ships
 The War Department has retained control of fourteen contonments, thir- teen of which were used during the war for mobilization of national army divisions and one for National Guard division. Had such of these canton ments as were not needed for peace time activities been sold the proceeds would have amounted to only small percentage of the cost. The total es- tate is not particularly valuable and much of the construction work has lit tie commercial use. As the canton ments would nevertheless constitute a decided asset in case of emergency, the department expects to retain such q 1n without undue expense for mainte- nance and caretaking.
 It is planned to retain Camp Meade, Md; Camp Travis, Texas; Camp Lewis, Wash, practically in their pres ent condition, as permanent stations of three regular army infantry divi- sions. Camp Devens, Mass; Camp Dix, N. J.; Camp Mcclellan. Ala, and Camp Custer, Mich, have been select ed as training centers of the first, sec ond, fourth and sixth corps areas, re- spectively. A portion of the buildings is to be salvaged and such real es- tate leased as is not needed, but the utility installations are to be retained as far as practicable. The same action is being taken with respect to Camp Funston, on the military reservation at Fort Riley, Kansas.
 STATES TO GET CAMPS
 As number of states in the South and West have no suitable areas for field training for National Guard units, the War Department expects to make available to as many of these states as possible old cantonment areas no longer required for the use of the regular army. such as Camp Lee, Va :; Camp Jackson, s. G.; Camp odge, Iowa; Camp Pike, Arkansas, and Camp Grant, Ill.,; Camp Upton, N. Y, has been completely salvaged and the real estate will be leased if not desired by New York state for training purposes Regular army posts no longer required are being made available to states de- string the areas for training purposes.
 Of approximately 800 claims which the War Department has had to con- slider during the past year, totalling some five hundred millions Of dollars only forty-seven, from twenty-two claimants, remain to be settled, ac- tion in those cases having been de- layed pending completion of few was made of 199 cases, whereby claims for s92,S49 $40 were retired by allowing s1O,9s6.152. Relief was de- nied in 169 cases.
