fall Ia love with-and snce again, she
felt, had her emotions <dled her rather
than her mind. 1t irritated her to
think she had been so weak when her
reasoning powers told her plainly that
a marriage with Reggie would be a
fiasco.
In the first place, Reggie was one

borders on weakness of character. In
the second place, Lucille's entire fam

Then Jim Burns came to town,
opened a sporting goods store and
took the populace by storm. At
church social Lucille met him and
was fascinated. He was just the d.
rect opposite to Reggie; he made It
known at once that he wouldn't stand
for any nonsense" everybody had to

why, OF course, Reggie, otherwise
l wouldn't have asked YOU" she spoke
very sweetly.
Lucille! Darling. you make me
very happy. I'll be there"
Jim arrived first. Disposing Of his
hat, he linked his arm through Luz
Giles and led her straight to a daven-
port, and, once seated, he kissed her.
"Jim!" said Lucille reproachfully
but pleased.
Look here, honey girl, you and I
had better come to an understanding"
he said. There's that little shrimp

Lucille laughed a little and Jim con-
tinued:

how small, / always get 1t, and when
I've found the girl love, well-a little
thing like Reggie won't stand In my
way, that's all-and he might as well
know, sooner or later, that I don't
stand for any nonsense"
Lucille drew in her breath. Reggie
might come any minute, poor Reggie.
And hardly had she thought Of him
when the dOorbell rang.
The pOrtieres parted and Reggie
came breezily into the room. Hello"

Good evening" answered Reggie
stiffiy, i'll at ease, a wrinkle lining his
usually smooth forehead; "what are
you doing here?"
Jim burst into a laugh and Lucille
looked at Reggie in genuine surprise
what am l doing here?" echoed Jim,
highly amused, and burst into an
other big boom Of laughter. Lucille
giggled nervously; she felt uncOmfort-
able. The line In Reggie's forehead
was deepening.
Jims laughter died out at last and
he turned suddenly to the other young
man; this time there was no hint Of
amusement in his voice, but that mas

Reggie came forward like a men-

Jim looked at Lucille; her eyes
were fastened on Reggie in breathless
amazement, and perhaps he realized
that this was not any nonsense, for
without word he stalked out Of the
house.

PICTURES BOYS TOWN.

Bows Town" was the subject of
an address by Judge Willis Brown
of Utah before the Zonta Club at a
meeting held yesterday at the city
Club.
Judge Brown is in the east seeking
site for a boys' town similar to
that established in Utah during his
administration of juvenile delinquent
affairs in that state.
The judge asserts that ne finds
in his work an educational problem
as we'll, and holds that children
should be infants under the law in
civil as well as in criminal offenses
Fer example, when child trans
crosses the compulsory education law
OF Utah. and is found playing in the
street during school hours. his name
beeomes to ali intents and purposes;
willy Utah" The famous BOYS
Town of Utah was organised, with
all the functions of city government,
entirely on the Initiative of the boys
who were sent there for one effeRse
and another. and there they carried
on the business of educating them-
selyes-a business which. in the Or
binary high school, Judge Brown
charges, has degenerated into a pas
time.
At the Central High School here in
Washington, for example, cut of ia
boys who had done good school work:
only two were doing anything out of
school, SO that out of q possible
1900 hours per year only about
500 were being used for any purpose.
In one Of the suburban schools OF
Washington, with country scenes all
about, not one pupil was found who
had ever raised a chicken or titled a
garden on his own initiative.

D. c. Fiscal Experts
Oppose HaIf-Year Tax

The proposition to have semi-an
nual payment of personal taxes as
well as real taxes put into effect Is
not regarded favorably by District
fiscal experts.
The Commissioners sent up to Cap
itol Hill their recommendation that
half-yearly payments Of the real
taxes would amount to a sum suffi-
cient to make UP considerable
amount in placing the District on 4
cash basis-approximatel $4,000. 600
or 100000 each half year But the
personal taxes amount to so much
less than the real taxes that it is
believed at the District building the
collection of this type of taxes every
six months would mean the making
out of two sets of bills each year
and would result in the expenditure
of effort which would not be repaid
In other words. the amount is re-
garded as not sufficie large to
justify such a course of action.
Hundreds and possibly thousands of
taxpayers have only $40 bill for
personal taxes. and to split this
means only $40 in November and SO
later. The whole personal tax bill
of the District does not amount to
more than s1.60o,000 semi-annually,
because only bit more than $1,000
900 has been taken in thus far in per-
sonal, tangible and Intangible taxes.

VESUVIUs MORE ACTIVE.
Villagers Alarmed as Rainy Spell
Awakes Sleeping Volcano.

ROME, June 21.-Ths activity of
Mount Vesuvis for several days past
has caused considerable alarm in the
surrounding villages. but experts con-
slider that the alarm is groundiess. An
eruptive cone within the crater on
the northern side is gradually de-
creasing. A thick smoke with incan-
descent matter swirling upward to an
altitude of about 1000 feet 10 creating
q magnificent spectacle.
The experts attribute the reawak-
ening of Vesuvius to the abundant
rain, which always increases the ac-
tivity OF the mountain. but believe
there is no special danger to the Vesu-
Wan villages or the visitors crowding
them to enjoy the picturesque sights.
