By FAY KING.

A very timely topic, much dis
cussed by young folks these days,
is whether q girl and her escort
Oughta 60 fifty-fifty ON the en-
tertainment Bill when they spend
an evening together.
A guy that works hard for his
salary and has to hand most Of
IL over to help the home, seems
90 think that IL girl works, too,
ana gets just rs good pay MS he
does and wants to be taken to
expensive plays, she Oughta be
willing to foot part Of the bill.
On the other hand the average
girl looks Tor . young man to
foot any bill he starts out to run
up, and that's the way the mat
ter stands.
Now, not wishing to knock the
girls, stfIl IL Is true that q lOtta
danes win cultivate any young
man that they think they can
work for b good time, and II he
doesn't spend his money on them
they soon hand him his hat and
ask him why the hurry.
On the other hand there are q
good many guys who will hang
around and eat off . girls family
and never show any signs OF re-
spending with even an invitation
to the neighbOrhOOd movie where
second rum pictures can be seen
for half price.
SOME ARE UNGRATEFUL.
Then again cOupla pals go
around together, each paying for
their own theater ticket and
meals, and the first thing you
know some other dame pops into
the picture and the same young
man win beg, borrow or steal
enough change to show her the
kind Of a good time she wants,
and consider himself lucky that
she lets him go into debt for her,
without ever having appreciated
the other girl that was willing to
pay her share.
And so you see there are many
sides to the story.
Only the other day another gal
grabbed gat and went cunning
after the guy she had helped
educate and spent her savings OH
because after he got q fOOthOId
for himself he started hitting the
high places with q winsome
widow who never dreamed Of
donating a dime toward the
evenings additions.
It seems to me that it's up TO
a girl to be satisfied with what
ever form Of entertainment her
young man can afford to pay for.
If she loved him and all he can
spend is four dimes for bus ride
out and back, she Oughta be pleased
about it and 90 to matinees or do
the shows with another girl at
night If she can afford to.
The right kind Of q girl would
rather a fellow bought her a jar
Of inexpensive candy than to de-
mand chocolates when he can't of

There should be no turning back

ture of Government money for the
maintenance of government cannot
be done efficiently by any such
methods.
1T requires continuous and earn
est consideration all the year around
to properly prepare a budget, and
while there must be discretion in
Congress as to allowing many Of the
appropriations asked for, there is no
reason why any member of Congress
should put his judgment up against
the executive departments as to new
appropriations not recognized as
necessary by the administration.
Every effort, therefore, should be
directed against any return to the
old methods"

poRPoIsEs LIKE TO PLAY
Huge Animals Of the Sea Grunt Like

II, toward the end of the summer,
you see commotlon in the sea of the
harbor mouth, you can safely guess
that a school Of porpoises is about.
and that there are shoals Of herring or
mackerel on the move. jysf
As soon as the water becomes
warm in the long summer days, the
porpoise comas down from the cold
seas for food-and play. Frequently
there are as many as a hundred por-
poises in a school.
The porpoise's body Is bloated, just
like that Of pig, and when he grunts
the likeness is complete. His under
part is dazzlingly white, his back
greenish black. in color. Often he at
tains length of five feet. On his
back Is one great triangular fin, and
1t is this fin that enables him to go
through his stunts" at sea. b, 4
He does not swim-he rolls, 1t is
an ungainly motion, but one that is
absorbing to watch. He rolls over
and over. throwing up spray and
grunting in curious manner. BE

The most entrancing part Of the
spectacle is when the porpoise decides
to do some acrobatics. He hurls him
self from the water, rises some eight
or ten feet, his fat body curved and
gllstening, and then drops with ter
rife splash. All the time he is breath
Ing hard. SO that a school of these
creatures makes a considerable noise.
Herring and mackerel are his prey.
Season after season he hunts them
down and eats them wholesale. Small
wonder he Is not a favorite with fish
ermen.
But he is harbinger of the herring
shoals. and for that reason his COM
ing Is eagerly awaited. Only when
herring are about does the porpoise
become bold. He is a useful crea-
ture. too. His big body holds con-
siderable quantity Of good oil, while
from his skin porpoise leather is made.

1t was too late. Everything had
been arranged. Levering and she
were on board the train, bound for
Washington on their way south. At
that moment Somers was approaching
the little town on the local, return

find his home desolate, and the letter
Esther had left for him. .,t
To add to the poignancy, the train
on which Esther and Levering were
speeding south passed within a hun
dred yards of their home.
The station from which they had
started-tO avoid observation-was
II miles away. Levering had met
her and motored her over there in
his car. Now they were on their way,
and already the familiar view of the
home town was coming In sight. ,
Somers was almost due. Perhaps
their train would pass him.
And Esther looked at the man be-
side her. letting her hand lie passive
In his. and instead of the deep love
she had thought she felt for him she
was, conscious of intense revulsion.
Levering had been Somer,s best

He would be stunned by it. Al

What would he do then? Would
he start in pursuit, to execute u dra-

not know. She had never understood
her husband. u
