without being conscious OF what
she was promising, she should
assure him of her financial assist
ance just as soon as she would
be able to provide It?
Winifred Scott was not blind
to the fact that Richard Rankin's
interest in her and her interest in
him and his ideals were progress
ing rapidly.
The progress in their intimacy
was especially impressed upon
her one night after she had spent
an evening in the young mans
company.
He called often nowadays. Ere
quently he and she would stroll
out to Riverside Park and sit
there and talk. At other times
they would take a bus ride up
town and back.
On this particular evening she
did a bold thing. She ordered
her car and babe the chauffeur
drive her and young Rankin up to
Yonkers. Here the pair went to
a little restaurant and ate Ice
cream. Richard suggested that
he take plate of cream out to
the chauffeur. The man thanked
him politely. Winifred thanked
him effusively.
''You are all the time thinking
Of other people," she said adj
miringly.
It did not occur to her that 1t
was not particularly generous to
give an employe a plate Of Ice
cream. She had never seen Muir
do that kind Of thing. She sup
posed that he tipped servants
but to share a little treat with
one of them was surely finer than
giving money.
She said so much to Richard as
they drove home together, guard
ing her tone that the man on the
front seat might not overhear her.
"You make yourself one with
the working people" she COM
mented. "I have never seen an
other person do 1t as much as
you. You seem to wait to share
everything with them"
"I do" he said. Then. after
pause, he added. THAT is why

TELL THESE
AT DINNER

In his heart the old gentleman
did not object to the young man
as a son-in-law, but he liked to
raise objections first. and then
reach an agreement as though
comforting a favor. When the
young man called he was ready
for him.
80" he interrupted, fiercely,
before the sutton had uttered half
a dozen words, you want me to
let you marry my daughter?"
The young man replied, coolly,
Il didn't say SO. did II"
The other gasped. But you
were going to say SOL"

the applicant, seeing his advan-

as you lamped his mug. He's the

demand.
"Watchel never hounds any

He JUS does the spider-act, run
MIN out a web an waitin' his
chance. An when he thinks he's
got his fly he JUS kicks out one

he's got her tied up like a blue

They've got a plant on foot"

That's why I'm here"

the table.
How soon?''
Before ten o'clock tonight.
whats the plant?" was his
ne1t demand. He was no longer
longer suspicious Of her. It was
not a time for equivocating.
The thought Of action awoke
something innate and long idle in
his breast.
'Maura's hangin' out in the
suspicious Of her. It was
or three rooms there. A couple
o. days ago the Dago girl who
takes care O. those rooms for her
lost the keys. They were pinched,
an by one o. Watchers men.
Watched wants to get her out o.
Rome. He knows he cant handle
her here. So they're goin' to
work a plant on her."
but what is it?" was kestner's
impatient demand.
There's an Austrian agent
named Ruhl, who's been diggin'
out Eyetalian army secrets. He's
been reportin' to the Chief o. the
General Staff o. the Eighth Army
Corps. That's stationed at
Prague. They're goin' to take his

buy 'em off until she can get out

sunar From Sap of Palms.

Various tropical palms yield a
sugary sap which is employed by the
natives for making sugar and
''toddy." A summary of informa-
ton relating specially to the Nipa
palm from this point of view is given
in the Bulletin of the Imperial In
stitute. This palm grows in the
muddy estuaries of rivers through
out the eastern tropics The juice,
which contains about Is per cent Of
sugar, is obtained by removing the
towering shoots and collecting the
sap which escapes. If desired, the
Juice can be fermented for the pro-
duction Of alcohol.
It has been estimated that Is
hundredweight of sugar, or 200 gallons
of % per cent alcohol, could be OBJ
tanned annually from an acre of swamp
land planted with Nipa palms. The
tree occurs over extensive areas in
British North Borneo, and the au-
thorities there are considering the
question Of utilizing it as source
oil sugar and alcohol.

RELICS IN NATIONAL PARK
Sacramento Towers Built by People
Probably Contemporary With
the Cliff DWellers.

The new national park recently
set aside by President Harding will
have an unusual interest for tourists
in that within its confines there are
numerous relics of a prehistoric race
who probably were contemporary with
the cliff dwellers. These consist of
ruins Of towers, believed by experts
to have been used by the ancient peo-
pie in their religious ceremonies.
The new park lies largely in Mon
tezuma county in Colorado, about 80
miles west OF Cortez, extending into
southwestern Utah. Most Of the tow
ers are in Colorado. They are lit
tie known outside Montezuma county,
and are seldom visited by tourists,
as they are so miles off the beaten
paths of travel. They differ from
similar ruins at Mesa Verde, which
were built on upands, and, or were,
mainly used as watch towers or for
astronomical purposes while some of
the Montezuma towers are found in
canyons.

THE PERSONALITY OF THE
TEACHER

The educational experts can
write magazine articles and books
without limit ON their problems.
The authorities can deliver THEN
eloquent lectures at the teachers,
conventions. But afteralI the vital
question in regard to education
comes down to this: Have you got
good teachers?
Some people have the gift that
makes good teachers and others have
not. 1t does not pay for u country
town to put up with unhealthiul
school houses or poor text books,
but the main thing is to get a teach
er that has some faculty for that
work, and the young people will
get so they know something under
the leadership of such one.

AC CEPTING RESPONSIBILITY

A man who served some time n
superintendent Of a Sunday School
remarks that the worst difficulty IL
found in getting people vino would
serve as chairman Of committees.
lie could find plenty Of folks who
would serve on those committees,
but mighty few who would take Il
post rs chairman Of one Of them,
and assume responsibility.
As d result, he stopped appoint
ing such committees If lie wanted
to get thing done, he named one
pef.on to do il, and il that way lc
got il done lie learned That people
are willing to WORK, but they dislike
to accept responsibility for tie
leadership Of other people.
The same conditions prevail IN
many country towns. Most rural
communities could accomplish a
great oeal ia the way Of civic and
business improvement, if they
would take hold Of their problems
with n determination TO solve them.
But most people hate 50 to accept
responsibility for leading move
rncnt that it is difficult to fnd those
who will take the initiative and go
ahead.
Ills sentiment is due in part to
the fact that people are extremely
busy and do not have much time
for public efforts. But it is due
also to the fact that people have a
lot Of ialse pride They hate to be
associated with any kind Of effort
that will prove a failure and that
they will get laughed at.
Ii the people of a town want it to
60 ahead, they must get over sent-
ments Of that kind. They must be
willing to plunge into publics efforts
in a don't care" state Of mind,
and take 1t good naturally if some
Of their schemes prove unavoidable.
II they keep plugging away on
projects for making their home
towns better and more successful.
some CT their ideas will make good.

POPULAR FADS

Independence of character is q
trait on which most people pride
themselves. Most folks want te
give the impression that they think
things out for themselves, and de-
eide on their own judgement what
they prefer to do.
And yet people to large extent
follow each other like sheep. II a
certain influential set do certain
things, the idea spreads to the re-
hottest corners Of the country. Thus
within recsnt years, such fads as
short skirts, bobbed hair, jazz mn
sic, modern dancing, Hopping
overshoes, have spread over the
country. No one can tell who first
started them or how they got their
hold. Thus people give up sthe
independent Judgment on which
they pride themselves.
Many of these fads that sweep
over the country IRE quite rdicoul.
Gus, and when they pass by people
realize their absurdity. The styles
of women's dress that were popular
and seemed attractive % years ago
will raise a laugh now in any circle.
Many styles now in vogue will no
doubt be considered very peculiar
in future years.
In some localities, you can find
people who maintain entire indie
pendence of custom. There were
women up to a few years ago who
wore hoop skirts just like those of
civil war times. Some of the old |
timers have taken pride in The fact
that they never rode in an auto
mobile. They remain entirely out
side OF the current modern life, and
seem to get satisfaction from feel
ing of independence.
The ordinary person who wholly
disregards the fads of the moments
may be regarded as something of
freak. 1t saves bother and avoids
comment to follow the crowd to
some extent. Yet as time goes on,
it seems as if people would become
more independent and individual
and would refuse to let the crowd
do their thinking for them. ;

ACTION VS. BOOKS

The good scholar is the ideal Of
the educational world. 1t is not a
low ideal. In these days Of loafing
college students, of hero worship OF
successful athletes, the boy " ho
sticks by his books is entitled to
the highest praise, III sturdy indie
pendenco of the greater popularity
of success in other fields, he per-
forms faithfully the task set before
his And usually having won in
the scholastic competition, he wins
out in fife.
Industrious study brings its own
rewards, The facts learned are
usually forgotten. Or they leave be-
hind merely vague and hazy MEM
cries. But sterling qualities of
perseverance have been acquired.
The mind has learned TO apply
itself to pulling problems, The
Judgment has been matured and
experience OF human life is broad
ened.
Yet books are not all in school and
college life. Too many people are
full of book knowledge, yet amount
to little in life, They can talk
most inteligently about any pend
ing problem or episode of history,
yet they are not active factors in
community life.
They have walked through tbs
world Of books as mere spectators.
They have listened overawed while
the wise men Of the earth spoke to
them, But they have become mere
listeners. Instead OF following the
counsel OF these wise men to act, to |
do, and to become, they have simply |
listened to what Others told them. |
Life is full Of men having the
power of action, but with no train
ed judgment OF critical sense to
guide that action. Similarly the
educated world has no end Of men
With judgment and critical sense,
out who have lost tile power Of
nitiative. SO the scholastic success
should do something besides his book I
work. He needs more than any
'ther to take an active part in the
life of his college. Whether il be
diting a college paper, reporting
or the press, managing entertain
aents, playing on or managing ;th-
etc teams, it all has its share in
evelepment OF IL wei rounded
haracter.

The question whether the bust
ness Of town will increase or not,

If the country people would put
