one leg was doubled under him, and
something about the posture made me
afraid that It was broken. When Thad
lifted the bicycle from him, and at
tempted to straighten his body, my
fears were realized, for he gave quick,
sharp moan.
"My leg," he groaned, then a. he re-
turned to full consciousness, he rose
on one elbow, his face contorted with
pain, and then fell back against mo

A business girl who makes a good
salary is engaged to be married to
young man who is studying to be doc
tor, and who is working his way through
school against many odds.
The young woman wants to help her
fiancc financially, but he refuses TO take
money from her, nor doet he want to
marry until he has completed his educa-
ton and has restablished himself MS a
physician.
The girl thinks this is a very foolish
position FOR the young man to take, and
wants to know what think OF 1t.
think the young mans point OF view
is not only the honorable one, but the
sensible one, and that youth who has
the grit, and pluck, and independence
TO fight his own way upward unaided IS
worth waiting for as long as Jacob
waited for Rachel.
The man who will take money from a
woman, and who will let his sweetheart
work to support him is poor, weak,
miserable creature who isn't worth
his purchase price, even in a matri-
monial marked-down bargain sale.
Ii is natural that every woman should
want TO help the man she loves, and
when she secs that he needs money, and
the comforts and necessities that money
buys, that she should yearn to give him
everything in her pocket book even to
the last penny.
But it is dangerous thing to do.
There is something strange, and sinister,
and inexplicable about the blightlng
effect that a woman's money seems TO
have on a man, and not once in n thou
sand times can she give it to him with
out running him, and Staying his affection
for her.
Whether it is because it subverts the
laws of nature and make the weaker
one the stronger, and turns the one who
should be the protector into the pro-
tccted: OF whether it kills mans self
respect for him to be dependent on q
woman, and he hates her because she
visualzes his own weakness to him,
nobody knows.
But certain it is that a woman's
money almost invariably kills q mans
love for her He may take II gladly, ,ands
eagerly. He may force her to give it to
him, but almost invariably it turns him
into q cur who bites the hand that feeds
him.
You have only to look about you to
see a hundred proofs of this. Think
of the working girls you have known
who have lent money to their sweetheart.

THE REASON TOM CHESTER
HAD TO GIVE UP THE TASK

Lillian's scheme worked perfectly.
But q few yards the other side OF the
entrance to tho wood road. where we
were sure the strange limousine was
concealed, was q glade~like opening into
the woods, not ambitious enough to be
called a road, bat wide enough just
beyond its curving entrance to conceal
q car.
Dicky and had parked our car there
out of sight of the road many times
when we wished to take tramp through
our favorite wooded hills little dis
tance away, and l knew just the turn
to make to land the car safely out Of
sight. With wide-fung hand to signal
my father behind us, l turned the
car into the glade, hearing the prear-
ranged steady footing of the horn of my
fnther's car as l shut off the ignition
and the>car slid gently to q standstill.
For several minutes after the noise of
the engines and the horn had died away
we sat breathlcssly waiting for any in
dication from the road behind us that
the occupants of the limousine con-
cealed in the wood road had suspected
our ruse.
Then as no sounds but those common
to the woods at night reached our ears,
Tom Chester descended slowly and with
evident pain from the seat beside me to
the road below, and opened the tonneau
door with the evident intention of TAX
ing out hi. bicycle, which DR.. Petit and
my father had loaded into the car be-
fore starting. l scrambled down quickly
beside him, and in spite of his fiercely-
whispered protests, managed to take
upon myself the greater part OF the lift
ing of the bicycle to the ground. i saw
the intrepid young chap stagger as he
put his hand upon the bicycle ready to
mount it, and l moved toward him
quickly and put restraining hand upon
his arm.
"You cannot" began, but he shook
off my hand, not~angrily, but rs if he
were carried out of himself by the in
domitable will which was lashing his
body to action.
''Yes l can," he whispered hoarsely
and with an effort which ! could see

men. How few of such marriages are
ever happy. The women may be all that
is lovely and sweet and generous. They
may even be 50 insanely in love that
they have turned over their fortunes to
their husbands, but the men are pesvish,
disgruntled cynics who scof at romance
and love, and oftener than not are faith
less to the women whose angel food they
feast upon.
Think of the poor boarding house
keepers, and all the other long array Of
women that you have known who have
supported worthless husbands. Can
you remember a single man of them all
who has even treated his wife decently?
Hasn't the man almost without excep-
ton been a surly brute before whom
the poor drudge, who shaved to earn the
money to keep him in food, and clothes,
and tobacco, trembled? Statistics show
that in the great majority of families in
which the wife becomes a money Garner,
the husband ceases to be one and that he
Immediately degenerates. Also they
show that the man who becomes de-
pendent upon his wife nearly always

mistreats her.
This makes the problem OF the woman
who desires to help a man ono Of the
most difficult in tho world to solve. Ap-
parently she can only do it indirectly.
She can do it if she is his wife, by thrift,
and economy, and by making a. few
demands upon his purse as abe can,
but she gives him the contents Of her
own pocket book at their peril.
This makes curious complication
Just now when 80 many women have
proved such capable business women,
and such big money earners. They
could SO easily and 70 effectually, help
the men they love by giving them finsn-
cial aid If there we're not this curse upon
womans money.
Perhaps when men get more used to
the altered state of affairs, and come to
look upon their wives as their equals, and
their business partners, they will take
another view Of this matter, and react
differently towards womAn's help.
Nov . mans pride requires it Of him
that he should be, at least outwardly
the Ons-Who-Doee-It-All, the Source
Of Supply, tho Hand From Which All
BlesSnQ Flow. So his wife must remain
out Of sight and help him 40 secretly
that he can even hide from himself that
she is doing it at all.
In q more intelligent future he will
share his throne with his vie, they will
work openly together, and then be will
see no shame in having her invest her
money in the firm OF Benedict and Co,
just as he does.
Then a woman may perhaps help a
man by lending or giving him money,
and he may be grateful to her AS he is to
helpful man friend. But that millen-
mum has not yet arrived. At present it
hurts mans vanity TO take woman's S
money, and no man ever forgives the
hand that deals blow at his self love
Especially when it is feminine hand

average intelligence will get up in the Congress and propose real sim plification of the complicated manne- in which income tax returns are now made cut and incomes are assessed.
 The English have had long experi- ence with the income tax and they have simplified it to a remarkable degree-so much so. in fact, that ordinarily the figuring of the amount one must pay is but the matter of moment. But as Lord Northcliffe once said with greater truth than pietry, No nation ever learns any thing from another nation. Each na- tion must go through it's own bitter experience and pay for it.' He made this remark just after returning to, England from America in 1917. We had just entered the war and we had said we were going to fight the war according to our own ideas, and build our own planes, our own en- zines, our own guns and everything.
 This. however. is an income tax story, not a war diatribe, although it is difficult for one to think of taxes without thinking of the vast waste of our following so many of our own war ideas.
 A cablegram from London an- nounCeS there IS 10 De a reuuctlOn in the income tax rates over there of l shilling to the pound. There Is the whole story of the British tax rate. It Is based on so many shfl- lings in the pound. Incomes in eX- cess of stated sum pay so many shillings in every pound. The rate increases as the income mounts, un- til in some instances it has re- quired the taxpayers to turn over to the government 12 out of every 20 shillings earned.
 Why not an American income tax based on so many cents in the dol lar? If the man earning $10,0o0 a year is told he shall pay 15 cents in the dollar he has that tangible figure before him all the time. And so it might range up to where the incomes in excess of s1,000. 900 a year paid 50 cents in the dollar.
 It is a simple system, but we ap- pareutly prefer the camouflage of 4 per cent normal plus s per cent nor maj. plus surtaxcs which no man can estimate until he gets a table prepared by the government tax sharks. Perhaps we don't want our people to know too vividly what they

Washington, April 30.-Washing- ton quickly capitulated to Lady Astor when she reached here on Fri day. It is all very amazing to Lady Astor, the remarkable reception she has received wherever she has gone In this country. Perhaps she had for gotten just a little what senti- mental, volatile people the Americans really are. Americans are particu- larly proud of anyone whom they feel has reflected credit upon their country abroad. The greatest ova- ton William Jennings Bryan ever received in this country was when he landed in New York in 1906 after an extended trip through Europe.
 Lady Astor, of course. is by mar. riaAe British subject. Several times since she has arrived nthis coun- try she has been referred to as British citizen'-and that is what would seem more fitting, for it Is difficult to think of Nancy Lang horne as a subject" She has been received, however, not as a Britisher nor as a member of the British Par liament-she is another American who has made good.
 Lady Astor's real triumph socially end politically lies in the fact that she has a personality which wins equally the esteem and admiration 1f both men and women. Her male au- ditors are inclined 10 smile at first at her piquancy, but it is not long before they are capitivated by the logic of what she has to say.
 And this Virginia girl of the House of Commons has given the men a good deal to think about. She has po-
 litely but firmly told them that women know great deal more about men than men know about themselves. or about women You think we women talk too much" she says, but we do not tell you half we know about you" All of which, one must admit, is very true.
 Women could tell men lots of things that hurt the vanity of the sterner sex. Women are perhaps wise in their pretended ignorance. Men are the only things they have to play with-and so the women try to
 make the best of it.

 Some of the government experts who have to deal with radio activ- ties are wondering whether they shall adhere to the established rules Of grammar or drop into the lingo oe "etherdom" in their reports and cor respondenee.
 There is no doubt that usage makes good grammar. New sciences, or rather new applications of science, must adapt words which seem es- Sential and which readily fall from the tongue.
 The first problem which has arisen has to do with broadcasting-whi of course, is the perfectly good pres ent participle of the verb to broad cast. but when it comes to the past participle, usage seems to have adopted permanently the form "broadcasted" although any highly respectable dictionary plainly will tell you that you should say broadcast" just as in expressing the past par ticiple of forecast you say forecast" and not "foreeasted"

 said. that new world consumption level had been found, some two or three million bales lower than the pre-war level of approximately 21.- 000.000 bales per -nnum. The low consumption of less than 100000 bales for 19202l confirmed this view, matter of great concern to cotton growers, in view of the enormous carryover and the knowledge that a single cotton year would make khat looked like bad situation worse.
 During the past eight months cot ton consumption has shown a strong upturn, reaching this time 14,400.000 bales and a prospective consumption of 21,000.000 bales by the end of the cotton year. This would leave a carry-oyer of los sthan S.000.000 bales thus getting cotton consumption and carry-over back to a pre-war normal basis"

DICKENS SERMON
 INTERESTS MANY
Or. w. R. Hendrix Continues Topics on Famous Writers
 Masterpieces

Continuing the series of Sunday evening sermons on ''The Religious Value of Dickens Writings" pr. w. R. Hendrix, pastor of Highlands Methodist church, spoke to a crowded congregation at o'clock on Dom bsy & Son." The interest in this series seems to be growing, and on next Sunday evening the lesson will be taken from Bleak House."
 pr. Hendrix spoke In part as fol- lows:
 Every large business enterprise Is in an important sense an enlarged family, with it's directing head and the large number of employees and of- ffcers. whose labor and loyalty are an essential part of the resources of the enterprise, and whose economic and moral welfare should be regarded as part of the dividends no less than the profits accruing to the stockholders. Dickens has taken us In this story behind the scenes. and given us an in- 1mate acquaintance with the human Hide of a great business concern. There Is no such thing as soul Tess corporation.' Every commercial and industrial organization has soul, which is usNally good and evil by turns. Along with the money and labor invested are noble and altruis- tic aspirations. or vaulting pride and inhuman ambitions. Noble royalties and base treachery often battle with each other. and the nobler affections fo- family and our brother man are sled by the sordid greed for gold.
