ADVENTUROUS
THE TWINS
By Olive Barton Roberts

General Nick looked in every di-
rcction through his spy glasses for
the enemy. BUT no enemy was in
sight in Bing- Bang Land
Wen have to send up u blimp
and look for the tin soldiers" he
said to Colonel Stiff Leg, an officer
in the wooden army.
What's blimp, sir?" asked the
Colonel respectfully.
Don't you know?' asked General
Nick in surpris. It's a balloon
that stands still in the air. Who
ever is in it can see over the whole
country, find out what the enemy
is doing and drop down notes to tell
u.s."
"A very good idea,' nodded
Colonel Stiff Leg approvingly. But
i believe we have no balloons"
Then I'll send a messenger back
to the Tinker Man. said Nick. ale
has all sorts of things. Who is
willing to go?" he asked the~army.
T'll CO." said "A private, stepping
out of the ranks. maybe III win
Il medal for bravery"
Good" said Nick. perhaps you
will" SO he wrote a note quickly
and handed it to the brave wooden
soldier, who stuck it in his breast
pocket.
IF you get hurt, I'll come and
get you in my ambulance" called
Nancy.
Away went the soldier while the
army stood and waited.
After while he came back all out
of breath, with Il bundle under his
arm. "Here it is, sir" he said
saluting. 81 had to pass regiment
, of tin machine-gunners, two regl
ments of cavalry and three of ar
tillery. But although they shot a,
me with everything they had, the!
didn't hit me-"
"Bravo!" cried Nick. ''I'll pin
three medals on you for that!
Which he did.
Nick blew up the balloon and tiee
it to tree so it couldn't float away
1t was gray and shaped like :
sausage, as war balloons are.
"Now. who will go up and SET
what the enemy is doing?' asked
Nick.
Private Ram Rod stepped out ant
saluted. II will, sir.
| He jumped in and Nick let out thu
string until the balloon was higi
over the trce-tops.

LETTER FROM BEATRICE GRIM.
SHAW TO SALLlE ATHERTON
FRIEND or THE NEWLY
WE'D JOHN ALDEN
PRESCOTT.

SALLIE DEAR:
Enclosed please find newspaper
accounts of the most brilliant we'd
/, ding | ever attended.
Leslie Hamilton is now Leslie
( Prescottin full, Mrs. John Alden
| Prescott.
! They have left. Sallic, on a we'd
ding trip to some unknown place
and we will not know exactly where
| they are until we receive their first
letter.
The wedding was simply gorgeous,
as you will see from the description,
but all the while had a faint fore
| boding. John and Leslie do not
know each other, Sallie. That is
what worries me, ] guess.
OF course never having been mar
ried, or even in love, | am not sup
posed to know anything about it,
but being on the outside of it all,
| am sure that can give n more
| unbiased opinion than those who
| have been through the experience.
Salle, it does seem to me that
anyone with any sense at all should
into. the intimate contact of mar
riage, expecting to be happy, should
know each other thoroughly before
they make the public declarations
and vows of love.
! said as much the other evening
! when few Of us had settled our
selves about the big fireplace in the
| Hamilton billardroom and Sydney
| Carton announced. amid hilarious
laughter, II am afraid that under
| those circumstances we would have
! Heaven upon earth for there would
be no marriages or giving in \mar-
rage"
I cannot understand how such a
girl as Leslie can possibly think
there is some alchemy in the mar
riagc service that will take two alien
natures--and John and Leslie are
as unlike as the poles-and fuse
them into one splendid whole, alike
| in taste, in principles, in ideas and
! ideals.
Perhaps the American idea oI
marriage is the best of any of which
We know. 1t would be, eff love were
only ALL" 1t really seems to me
however, that after the first flush
of passion, love or that peculiar
thing we call love is the least neces-
sary to happiness.
With the same interest, the same
tastes, the same ambitions and en-
thusiasms, with tolerance and un-
selfishness, it seems to me that Il
contented companionship won d
come easy.
Sallic, think | shall be your old
maid friend.

ABOUT STREET MARKERS

Last September, at the instig-
alton Of the local Rotary Club,
the attention OF the City Council
was directed to the lack of ade-
quate markers for various streets
in the city of Annapolis. The
conspicuous absence of street
designations in the Murray Hill
section was particularly COM
mented on, and early in October
a councilmanic committee was
appointed and given authority to
correct this condition. but after
lapse of practically four months
nothing tangible has resulted, so
far as noticeable. The reason, if
any, for the delay in putting up
these street markers, is not APP
parent, particularly since the
need for them is getting more
urgent 40 the traffic gets more
extensive.
In many parts of the Murray
Hill section. as pointed out in
these columns several months
ago, while certain streets have
been officially named they bear
no markers that will show the
initiated just what these names
are. In other words, a stranger
visiting our city and DESTROYS Of
finding one of these unmarked
streets is put to so much trouble
and Inconvenience in making in
quiries as to its location that, in
the end, anything but favorable
impression is created in his
mind as to the city's progressive
ness. Streets, boulevards or al
leys that have been officially
named should at least be provid-
ed with suitable markers. Meth
er stranger nor resident should
be compelled to guess the name
of any city street.

THE HORSE HANGS ON

The 4 Department OF Agricul-
ture reports 203,000 fewer horses
on farms in January this year
than 12 months before, this be-
ing the fifth consecutive wear IN
which a decline has been record
ed, except that there was nom
inal increase in 1927 over 1920.
The banner year was 1918 when
there were 2l.555.000 horses on
farms. This year the number is
lS,S96,000, a falling off of 1859
600.
The big growth in the use of
automobiles was made since
1914, in which year 1.511,339 mo-
tor vehicles were registered in
the United States; last year the
number of motor vehicles mount
ed to the total of 1860, 90;
horses on and off farms declined
only about 100000.
The explanation of the dispar-
ity is that most people who own
automobiles never had horses.
Horses are not being displaced BY
machines as fast as might be ex-
pected for several reasons that
readily appear on reflection.
The value of horses on farms
fell off but S20.000.Goo in the wear
1922, which proves that these
animals retain their utility valua-
ton in spite OF the pressure to
substitute machinery for them.
The average farmer would not
keep a horse that did not pay in
labor for its food.
