Who occupies a Unique Position In | the Writing World an Authority on the Problems of Girls
 "I am a young married woman. | considered attractive, have two lit tie children and a negIectfu1 hus- band. Recently I found his treat ment of me was caused by his in- fatuation for a girl with whom he has been going around for the | greater part of year. I went to see the girl She admits knowing he lis married. It stopped things to some extent, but I know he still sees her, as he does business with the man by whom she is employed "I have lost ten pounds in less than two months and my heart is breaking because the girl still insists on seeing my husband Her ad- vantage over me is that she isn't dependent on him for money, while have to fight for enough to keep my children He threatens to leave me if I don't give him his freedom And yet I feel sure that if the girl would volunteer to give him up instead of insisting on seeing him, could win him back. Maybe if you wrote a, strong article on the subject, she would see it and wake up to the cruelty which I am suffering from her"
 So writes Mrs. M. H.. VO1c1nS the plea of numberless women who find themselves dependent for love or sup port on weak men wlho have let a new face and a new fancy come between them and all obligations and duties. Now I'm not blinking the fact that all the VOWS in the world cannot make love the eternal thing we long for it to be. The man who marries with the noble feelings and high resolves may drift weekly into a temptation he does not know how to fight. The practical questions of everyday life may estrange a man from the woman he only ideaized-instead of visualized as a partner and companion along road that is not always easy However we despises him for the weakling he proves, we must pity him a little, too, for his lack of adjustment to life But the girl who permits herself to become part of mans fove-life when she knows that every obligation and VOW in the world hold him to his wife and children-wtat of her?
 No matter how she excuses herself by claiming that the wife doesn't ''un- derstand" as she does, no matter how much she pleads for the rights of her great and uncomfortable 1ove-she is guilty. And her guilt is based upon l this: The love and understanding she urges as her claim on the man were not always the big things she calls them now. In the beginning they were merely the tiny seedlings which have led to such bitter fruit But

I went up the river and parked my car, careful-1ike, 8 mile up beyond at a hotel, where paid a boy a dollar to watch it; but took care to lock up the works and take the key along in my weskit.

KEEP THEM BURIED

No amount of money, no amount of
worry over the mistakes of the past
will help the future.
No regrets over yesterday will
profit today.
Wandering in the weed-grown GEM
etery of the past, reading the cpl
taphs of lights that failed, gets fell
low in a state of mind where he is
liable to see the bleaching skeletons
of old blunders pointing their bony
fingers at him.
Digging up the past brings some
pretty rotten things to view.
Stay away from the tomb of regret.
Always avoid the morgue of miser-
able thoughts. Don't wear the wind
ing sheet of ''it might have been"
Use your old blunders to jolt you
into better things and then forget
them.
Out of the broken ranks Of failures
you can, if you will, gather up enough
good scrap to build a new founda-
ton.
The most useless thing in life is to
worry about the things that cannot be
mended.

Sessue Hayakawa and
Bessie Love in The Swamp

An alien from a far land-a news
boy and his mother. These three in
a curious drama of life amid the
squalid scenes of a city's slums
A strange whimsy of Fate brought
them together and Destiny grinned
when Chance gave them the secret of
a young girls love. And the Nemesis
that had pursued the heartbre&ker
struck with the power of an avenging

Greater than self was the tender
ness of the man, and he plunged 81
lently into the depths of suffering to
insure her happines.
This combination of thrilling cir
cmustances will be seen in ''The

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NOTES

Last Sunday the Easter services

tened with rapt attention to the SER
mon by the pastor from l Cor. xv.20,
But Now Is Christ Risen From the
Dead" At the evening hour a large

THE KEYNOTE: FEWER WORDS

Are facile tongues and powerful vo-
cabularies necessary to high office in
the United States? h.sm
The majority Of men who have, held
high executive, legislative and. judi
cial places have been public speakers.
And the present generation in office
seems to blieve that oratory is a duty
they owe to the public and some of
them give little more than oratory in
return for the offices bestowed upon
them.
The parliamentary system of gov
ernment which grew up in England
and was passed on to America has
produced much public speaking. In
this county. lawyers, perhaps more
than any other type of men in business
or professional life, have been the
seekers after public honors. and law
yers as part of their profession are
users of words.
The early days of the Republic re-
quired definition of the aims of the
government, and the debate over the
formulation of national policies nat
urally brought public speakers to the
fore. Following the Civil War, the
wide development of the spread-eagle
oratory which Illuminated on patriot
ism made the candidate with "gift
of CAB" the most successful.
During the last few years, the gen.
eral public has become more and more
disguised with public servants who
believe they are called upon constant
ly to speak their platitudes. Men in
public office apparently have not
sensed this change in heart, and still
the Congressional Record is crammed
with thousands of thousands of words
devoted to proving that the particular
statesman who has the floor loves his
country dearly.
1t will not suffice longer to express
love for the "dear peepul." Much
language will no longer excuse little
work. The country is demanding SER
vice from it's statesmen. It would
doubtless be quite reconciled to under
go an administration utterly barren
Of oratory.
