 THE NOVEL VS. AUTOBIOGRAPHY
 What is it that the novel does better than any other of the arts? It creates peo- pie and it reveals their ambitions their tragedies, their triumps and their humors. When it creates people and moves them about in juxtaposition the one with the other story forms. No human being can be for five minutes in contact with any other human being without there arising from that contact some sort of history, but

 A minute later the revenue cutter swerved and headed out to sea. After few diff filculties the Edith arrived in New York safely and sold her cargo. MT. Cassese and I left the vessel before we made port. Our departures were assayed separately. Copyright, 1923, by the Bell Syndicate,

teen Rt son also departed in his-o own launch. I did not feel quite comfortable, however, when saw the crew all carefully seated on a coal barge next to our boat, undeniably frightened at the sight of the revenue of ficer. If this had been noticed by our vis- itor asuredly we would have been be- trayed. Furthermore, my woman's intui- tion led me to believe there was something to be feared in the attitude of these men. I tried in vain to throw off that feeling. When the cutter came in sight, they had jumped off our boat to the barge. It struck me with full force that if they had been caught, they were going to deny they had ever belonged to or heard of the Edith.
 This leads me up to the most trying ex- perences during my varied career as queen of rum runners. A rum runner is often, if not actually always, at the mercy Of his crew. They take advantage of the fact that a leader in this illicit traffic has no recourse to law. 4 rum-running craft truly is pirates nest.

 "You see, we stop anywhere the spirit moves us to do so."
 I Laughed. Antonio joined me in my apparent mirth. Antonio is essentially a mans man. Men always like him. In so far as that is concerned, there are, too, not few women, who are wild about him. Antonio interjected in his general way:
 Certainly, come on in old chap, and let us have one. l know you fellows never get any of the stuff."
 The revenue officer laughed as Antonio added:
 "We really have some good stuff that we got from the other side, in New York"

I, as the acknowledged queen of the rum runners, at the age of 20, can look back and say that l have faced death and cheated it more times than the most daring of men.
 I recall an old song of which the re- fran ran: of table at Rector's could talk.' This could be paraphrased now to of a bottle of Scotch could talk" And what story it could tell of its adventures in reaching the rich mans wine cellar.
 I remember a period of our hectic ca- reer that followed in the wake of ter rible hurricane at sea aboard the Edith, our 126-foot steam yacht. Wind and wave had reached out to drag us to our doom. During the 24 hours of the storms fury, l had seen our crew of 14-hardened ad- venturers drawn from many social levels actually humble prayers as they were be- ing buffeted about.
 After such an experience nothing could frighten us. We felt as though we had been born again, given new, charmed lives. The storm had occurred off the coast of Jacksonville, Fla, a day out from the Bahamas. We limped into the little port of Fernandina. There we laid up for repairs for two days. Barely had we left our dock when we ran into a second gale. After fighting it several hours, we had easy sailing.
 We stopped at Port Royal for coal. AS soon as we dropped anchor, the mayors son drew alongside our boat in a launch. We did not know of his position until later. Antonio Cassese and l were lunch ing in the saloon. We left the table to visit our guest, who seemed very pleas ant young man who was pleased to call aboard stylish looking yacht.
 Later I repaired to my cabin for a sesta The storm and travail of our trip had told terribly upon me. Life as a rum runner was far more exciting and adventures than l had dreamed. Still the charm of it, the uncertainty of it and the utter freedom from convention alities and hide-bound routine of cold business world had me enthralled Be- sides, I was daring with and for the man loved.

eraled Williamstown high on the
Malta gridiron Saturday afternoon,
winning by the score of 70 TO 6.
At straight football the two
teams were very evenly matched. At
kicking the rival backs were almost
even. The generalship Of Captain
Tavenner and Bob" Newsom of
the big Red" aided much in the
winning of the game.
Will 4mstown made her only tally
in the second quarter by wide end

touchdown for the "Red and White"

ter. TIE big sensational play Of

fourth quarter. wien kile inter-

think that can say without fear
of contradiction, that this state is
facing the worst crisis ever known.
The state is badly affected by the
big depression in the oil business
and the affairs brought about by the
so called governor. The only way
we people of Tulsa know that we
have martial law is because it says
so in the papers. There are no
soldiers parading the streets night
or day, nor there hasn't been since
returned from Ohio some two weeks
ago. This is peaceable city of over
100000 population. The reports
that are being printed in the eastern
papers, and also the papers of this
state, are not all true. Many false
alarms have started from Oklahoma.

article by the said offender stating
that it was a malicious lie, and that
he had had no such orders, nor had

day is in the greatest excitement ov-
er an election of any ever held. Ger
tain streets are blocked to traffic on
account of the immense crowds
awaiting election reports. Some of
the large oil companies are giving
