well as everyone else know this in
general way, but 1 happen to have a
| little special knowledge Of it.
One of the most dangerous nests is
in the country where your father is,
Madge, the country from which am
sure Grace Draper has just come.
And if she, penniless. as knew her
to have been, has been able 10 make
such journey, I am almost sure that
those in charge of that particular sec
tion Of evil have offered her sufficient
money to make ii worth her while to
enter their employ"
You don't mean she has become a
spy in the employ Of her country's en-
emies, Lillian?" I gaspsd. unable 70
comprehend how any American born
woman, INSCRIPTIONS though I knew
Grace Draper to be, could possibly
sink so low.
Katherines face, thinned by her un-
firing labors for the American hospi-
tai unit in France. OF which she was q
part, reflected my horror.
i mean just that" retorted Lillian.
Why mince words? But of course,
We'll have our work cut out for US to
prove it. We don't even know for
certain that she is in New York. al
though I'd be willing to wager every
thing I have or ever hope to possess

part OF an organization so vast that TO
| pluck her out of it prematurely while
not vital to that organization might
| disturb important plans Of the people
who are doing their best to trace the
filaments of this gigantic spiders web.
| We shall have to proceed very care
fully. We shall have to proceed very
carefully. 7 wouldn't bother specially
with her, only l am afraid from these
clippings, Nadge, that she means
harm to your father, and means you to
guess it."

was a clever thought TO have your
personal mail forwarded to Katherine
We shall be free of all spying eyes at
Marvin. And now. Madge. we must
think up some excuse for your staying

| For one reason. don't feel it wise
to have you out there at Marvin away

tionateIy. so think up your excuse,

come with me this afternoon. II Grace

will go almost every day. We may be
able to satisfy ourselves as to her

The Rare Good Fortune
of Congressman Smithwick

You can't kill John Henry Smith
wick, our congressman from this dis
trict, even when a big brick house falls
down on him and buries him under the
debris, with dead and dying people all
around him. 1t seems to be just as
impossible to kill him physically as it
is politically.
We heartily congratulate Mr. Smith
wick upon his marvellous escape with
out injury beyond a few bruises, when
the roof Of the Knickerbocker theatre
in Washington fell in last Sunday
night and about a hundred people
were killed and many injured. 1t was
a horrible disaster and to have been
a part Of it as Mr.. Smithwick was and
to come out alive and but slightly hurt
marks him as a rarely fortunate man,
but one who win carry through life
narrowing memories OF that awful
night.
His interview with the Associated
Press while he was lying in bed under
surgical attention, describing what he
saw and heard of the calamity we
republish in this issue of the Times,
and 1t is a wonderfully vivid deserip-
ton that his friends. especially
throughout West Florida. VIII read

OWNING A HOME

An Illinois newspaper says the home
owner--the man who care for his own
castle--is always the best citizen.
We do not agree with our Illinois
friend in his claim that he home own
er Ia a better citizen than the man
who doesn't own a home--the house
in which he resides, but we do feel
that he Is less likely TO become dis
contented with himself and the world
about him. He has more to make him
contented, satisfied with himself and
his surroundings 1t Is claimed for
him that he isn't as much given TO
radicalism as the man who doesn't own
his home Having his own roof over
his head the home owner IS very like
ly to be more contented. The man
without a home-that IS, the man who
doesn't own the house in which he
lives-is much more likely to become
an extremist IN his views. He has
fewer ties binding him TO the more
conservative things in life.
But the big question is and always
has been: How is n man to get a
home? 1t Is the question now. as
through the years, pressing every
where for solution. We believe it is
the ambition OF every real man TO own
home at some time. 1t is the nat
ural thing. Men are ambitions to ac-
quire property. and a home is always
the best property one can own, as
usually it is the first property they
undertake to own.
Men like to be masters OF the place
wherein they reside. They like to
know and feel that when an improve
ment is made they have bettered
their own condition and have not en-
HANGED the value of anothers property.
They delight--that is, most men do--in
giving to a home the attention it
should have--and this they aren't
likely to do when residing In rented
property.
There isn't much to arouse an in
clination to undertake the task Of
identifying or improving a place when
the occupant may come along the next
day and give notice of an increase in
rent or one to vacate and make room
for tenant who Is willing to pay q
larger rental and go along with less

quick action by the bureau Of internal
revenue follows. Thousands of delin-
quents, and delinquent taxes, penalties
and interest aggregating hundreds of
thousands of dollars have been dis
covered as a result of this audit. This
year, as last, information returns will
be placed in the hands of deputy col
lectors for use in rounding up delin-
Quents.
Information returns must be filed
with the commissioner of internal
revenue, sorting section, Washington,
D. c. Collectors of internal revenue
are not authorized to receive such re-
turns.
Information in each separate case
of payment of $1,000 or more is en-
tered on form 1899. A summary of
these forms is made on form 1895,
which serves as a letter of transmittal.
Heavy penalties are prescribed by
the revenue act of 1921 for failure to
make returns of information within
the time prescribed by law-on or be-

Much of your success in wrestling
depends upon the strength of your
neck. For instance. If you have a
strong neck 1t is possible for you TO
resist to a degree the force of your
opponents arm when he tries the half
nelson on you.
II your neck is not strong, you will
want to strengthen it, of course. The
'swrestler's bridge" is about the best
method of doing this that l know. 1t
Is shown on the left side of the picture
printed above. Lie down on your back
with a pillow or something else very
soft under your head. Fold your arms
across your chest. Draw your lzIsees
up, keeping your feet on the floor.
Then raise your body of the floor.
bracing yourself on your feet and
your head which should be turned as
far back as possible. Be careful not
to turn ii 50 far hack that the cords Of
the neck are strained.
Practice "5ridae" Daily
Hold this position for minute and
then lower your body. Repeat the ex-
ercise several times day and within
a short time the strength of your neck
win be greatly increased.
The wrestler's bridge may be used
10 save yourself from being "downed'
in a match. As you know. q wrestler
is down" when both his shoulders
are square on the mat. BY using the
