forms her tasks rapidly that she
mains after business hours, and she maintains a
punctuality also in her educational affairs that
is the wonderment of women who work with her
But she has displayed that remarkable talent
since she was young girl. Much Of it can be
traced to inherent ability which was properly
nurtured and developed by her late father, D. A
Thomas the coal baron, who was made Baron
Rhondda in 1916 and who died in 1918.
It was the belief Of her father that in the
absence Of a in the home, daughter should
be trained 70 carry on the family business. He
began teaching her the Inside" to his great col

her early twentes before her marriage, she gave
a startling exhibition Of resourcefulness and in

situation suddenly developed at home with
one on hand who dared risk acting for Mr.
Thomas.

and with a stroke Of her pen put through a deal
involving S5,000000.
When her father returned home he could not
find words to express his satisfaction at the way
his child and business protege had made good"
In this feat friends of Lord Rhondda since
have seen something that reminded them Of
Earl Haig, TO whom Lady Rhondda is related.
They point out that one Of the great soldiers
characteristics which stood MS country such good
service in time Of need was his ability instantly
TO grasp a complex situation and act with nicely
and dispatch.
Yet friends of the unhappy couple declare
that il was not wholly business interests and
other activities that caused the two to take
diverging paths Jealousy of his wifes distinc-
ton is said to have been a great factor. And
when the situation is closely inspected much
sympathy will be found for Sir Humphrey among
husbands whose wives become prominent.
Sir Humphrey, as | have already remarked,
comes of a very distinguished family and has
always been used to that Difference which is
shown one of his station. The title master" Of

Woman the Superior of Man"

Lady Rhondda does not hesitate to air her
opinions on the subject of sex equality. She is
of those who believe that man is in no way
the superior of a woman. In fact, she rather
takes the opposite viewpoint She considers
the superior of man in many, many re-
spects Talking on this subject she recently said:

would answer, Freedom. I mean not only free
dom for nations, but freedom from bodily sav-

THE DRUG TRAFFIC

There are, according to the best es-
Inmates a quarter OF million drug
addicts in this country. Last year
drugs to the value Of three and
half million were seized, but--and
this is something TO think about
it is estimated that a million and
quarter is being spent every day for
drugs sold illegally!
When they say this traffic is the
menace of civilization they do not eX-
aggeratc. The toll is said to be as
terrible in the "wct" as in the dry"
countries, though in the latter it is
found that many of the bootleggers
are tranicHers in drugs as we'll as in
alcohol. The lthortics say they
have need of moro men in tho scrv-
ice. That is, of course, to be. expect
cd, yet there can be no doubt of it
when one considers the facilities
there are for evading the law Not
only more men, but evidently a better
lot than appear TO be some Of those

CAME THE DOG

To the writer's desk comes the dog,
stops and looks up inquirngly. The
pose, the tilt of the head sidewise, the
expectancy in the ed-rimmed eyes
hint at lost opportunity, for every
line about that canine suggests an
illustration for Be Kind to Animals
Week. However, let's make it year
in place of a mere week, notwith-
standing this particular dog has no
legitimate business here-and knows
it.
1t is not demonstrative dog but
has memory and recollects full we'll
the times it has been told to "get
out" Furthermore it has no tail to
wag, which, come to think OF it. Sc
riously-er-handic a dog bent on
ingratiating itself into favor. But
this dog doesn't mind that, though
possibly its atmosphere of uncertain
tyj may be somewhat 'due to a sub
conscious comprehension Of, its caud-
al deficiency. This, it might as we'll
be admitted, Is about as doubtful as
Conan Doyle's ectoplastic theories, for
there Is about this dog a manner of
disregard for mere personal appear
ances. Wasn't there homcly old
fan
fact, showing as it did that he was
pure blood of honorable but not pull
chritudinous descent? If so his mind
doubtless functioned like that of this
dog. 1t is pure blooded and not bred
for purposes Of ornament and the
grimness about the under shot Jaw
indicates that it doesn't care to ar
que the matter and is "sot" in it's
ways.
No conversation is made, at least
none that is audible or by word of
mouth, A finger is simply pointed to
the open door of the ONCE. The tilt
in the dogs head Is emphasized for
an instant, the eyes say: "You ought
to be ashamed of yourself and appre-
ciate my call. You've no dogs of
your own and every man ought to
have one to teach him to know his
place. to realize he isn't carrying
around all the gray matter in the
world under his own thatch." But
seeing no reIentins the dogs head
droops-wc mentioned that it had no
tail-and slowly it turns and walks
out.

Constipation Naturally

Constipation Is as old as the world.
Most people must fight it from birth,
to death. Some use harsh cathartics
or metallic drugs that force relief, but
do not strengthen the organs so that
they perform their functions normally.
Our early ancestors turned to Ma

laxative properties. they prepared a
