CHAPTER V
The Pink Sweater.


"My grateful goodness / knew
somep'n was up" Mrs. Wopple, who
had struggled through the kitchen
door, paused at the entrance to the
living-room to emit this commentary
on Mrs. Penfeld, sewing by one of the
windows in the midst of an unusual
array Of materials.
"Come right in," invited Mrs. Pen
field, as cordially inslstent as If Mrs.
Wopple had not already done so.
'rWait till I move this nice comfort
able chair into the sunshine for you.
Amt it lucky you came In just's the
sun didl"
She moved the best chair into the
narrow shaft of yellow radiance. If
the sun were not mercifully acrobatic
in it's possibilities, twisting it's way
into incredible intricacies of city ar
chitecture, it would never have pene-
trated into Mrs. Penfeld's living
room at all; but by a marvellous as
Economical provision, there was a pre-
Cious hour In the afternoon when 1t
struck her neighbor's white wall and
was DETECTED, nearly full strength,
through one of Mrs. Penfield's win
dOws.
She took up her sewing. Mrs
Wopple's gloomy eyes fastened upon
st with glowing curiosity.
"What in time you makin'7" she In
quired.
Mrs. Penfe1d exhibited the pink
garment, rich with basting thread
saThis here's a sweater for Lettie."
Mrs. Wopple reached over and
nipped a piece Of the goods between

coterie of glyptodons. These were pre-
historic animals with bony back like
our tortoises, though they were mon

have made glittering company, and In
any gallery an oil painting of them
would create a greater sensation thar

CRUTCHES AWAY
MiIWaukeean Declares He Has No
Use for Them Since Tanlac
Ended rheumatism.

Another Milwaukee man relates q
remarkable experience with Tanlac.
Milton Schwanberg, 1924 Third ST.,
a city salesman for the Yahr & LANCE
Co., wholesale druggists, says:
''For two and a half months / was
down with sciatica rheumatism and
couldn't even turn myself in bed. My
side and legs hurt terribly, my appe-
tite was gone, and ! was as weak and
nervous as could be. When I finally
got out of bed l had to use crutches
and learn to walk all over again. I
often wondered whether I would ever
get to feeling right again.
well, soon after I commenced TAX
ing Tanlac l was able to throw away
my crutches and step as lively as any
other young man. 1 am in perfect
health now, and can't help but hum
and whistle for joy when / think what
a wonderful thing Tanlac has been
for me-"

clothes could be accumulated and book
money saved, so that 1t would be pos
sible to send the child to school.
When Lettie returned, it was to the
accompaniment Of a mixed sound, rasp-
ing and swishing around the house and
across the board walk in the back yard.
She had CHANGED upon a scene of tree
trimming and had acquired many
branches, which she had jubilantly
snaked home, to be dried and broken
for the kitchen stove The triumph Of
successful exploration was in her
voice.
"Penzie, you oughter see what
brung now. It'll make swell kindlings."
She edged into the living room, her
thin chest heaving from the violent ex-
ertion "Say, whatcher making?" She
came nearer, her black eyes widening
as they took in the incredible details
Of Mrs. Penfeld's sewing.
''Im making something for you, Let
tie. Amt it pretty?" She held it up.
Lettie thrust ont grimy hand and
nipped piece of the goods exactly as
Mrs. Wopple had done before her
with the same conclusion, but with a
totally different emotional reaction.

awed voice.
Mrs. Penfeld nodded.

''Hope to die if you told lie?"
Mrs. Penfeld choked; then vowed
the solemn vow.
"Holy Jiminetty p cried the child.
'sYou've got me solid. Gee, there amt
nothing wouldn't do for you" For
the first time her wary reserve broke.
She hurled herself into Mrs. PenfeId's
lap and threw her arms around Mrs.
Penfeld's neck. For the first time Mrs.
Penfeld dared to kiss her
"Lettie, dear, I'm so glad you like
itY
sLike it! I'm beat to a FRAGILE"
"But listen, Lettie. You can't wear
this every day, you know. It's too nice.
This is for Sunday"
Lettie Strengthened, but took this
blow rather placidly. "We-ell. Well,
all right. Any more strings to it?"
"For Sunday" continued Mrs. Pen
field, 'when you've been good through
the week.

tie, with great jauntiness. ''You just
watch me. If I try, can beat the

whimsically, he jerked his thumb up

Almost Any Painter Would Make
Hit by the Depletion of Flock
Of Giyptodons.

Artists have painted every kind of
picture except one They have always
preferred a flock of sheep to flock of
glyptodons. We are at one with the
artists in their admiration Of the lights

backs of sheep making their way home

perhaps, so much breathes the atmos-

SO ON, FOREVER

Down in Yucatan, southern Mexico, an army Of Indians
under the direction of scientists are digging up the palaces
and temples of the ancient civilization of the Maya people.
They lived more than 1000 years ago and were sufficiently
advanced to produce a race of artists.
The Indians have several years of digging ahead of them.
Discoveries fascinating, possibly sensational, will be made.
You'll read a lot about this digging job in the news between
now and 1926.
Chichen lisa, chief city of the Mayas, was as large as Chi
cago is today. Thousands of years from now, future scien-
lists may be digging out of mud and sand the remains of
Chicago.
Over in England, Queen Mary finishes her famous dolls
house. It's only eight feet high. But the greatest Eng
lsh architects designed it. English artists painted tiny pic
lures to hang on its walls. Barrie and other writers wrote
miniature books for its library.
This dolls house is to be passed ON to future generations
as a perfect record of a fine English home in 1923. It has
modern plumbing, electrical fittings, a garage housing wee
autos perfect to the last detaiI-even a wine cellar with real
hooch in small bottles.
No matter what may be dug up in the Maya ruins of Yucca
tan, it will seem crude alongside the devices of modern times.
A lot of change comes in 1000 years. And after another
1000 years the dolls house of Queen Mary will seem as crude
as Maya ruins seem today.
Man is steadily improving himself toward an unknown
but definite goal. Or maybe man is merely improving his
equipment rather than his real self.

PARASITES

Henry Ford remarks that steel manufacturers should curtail
their output of ordinary steel and produce more alloy steel to build
lighter locomotives, freight and passenger cars. 'This, % he said,
lis what the country needs instead of more skyscrapers to house
lawyers, stock brokers and similar parasites
The animus that he showed against the legal profession and
Wall Street will tend rather to provoke amusement than indigna-
ton. He hardly intended to be taken seriously in referring to the
members of the bar and stock exchanges as parasites. But a good
many people will relish the jest, biting as it was, for it is but nat
ural that a considerable part of the multtudes who have been
worsted in litigation and in speculative operations in the share
market should blame their attorneys and brokers.
But it is not fair to call them parasites. There is school of
thought that calls all persons who are not engaged in the produc-
tin of food, clothing and places of shelter, or the transportation
Of materials entering into their production, by the name of para
sites. They justify this by saying they live through the efforts of
others. But in our complex civilization the broker and the lawyer
are necessary factors in the production of food, clothing and
shelter. The companies engaged in the work could not thrive
nay, might have difficulty even in getting started-if there were
no market for their shares, no agents through whom capital could
be attracted to their enterprises, no lawyers to protect them from
dishonesty and error.
Perhaps it will be said, then, that musicians, actors and
novelists, whose province is solely to entertain or edify are para
sites. They are not; by furnishing recreation and stimulation to
the workers they do their part, too, in the production of food
clothing and shelter.
Idlsgs. thieHss and gamblers are the real human parasites,
