THE ONE-MAN WOMAN

SYNOPSIS
KATE WARD, widow of
DAN WARD. living with her father
CHINATOWN ALICE. who says Dan
was father OF her child,
DOROTHY. Kate Is much perturbed.
\ few evenings later Kate and her
father find the unconscious victim
Of an auto crash near their nome
and carry him in. Recovering he
gives his name as
JAMES LATHAM and woos Kate.
She. fond OF him, yet remembers
Dan and does not know what to say.
Then it develops that Latham Knew
Dan. He tells Kate of trunk m
an old fishing shack Dan owned,
which, he thinks. would throw light
on his past Then comes a letter
from Alice. begging Kate's aid. Ac-
girls home but she Is not there; A
woman, however, tells her something
OF Alcie's life. Kate rejoins Latn-
am, waiting in his car.
Except for asking James Latl'~n
to drive to the little fishing shack
where Dams trunk had been left
Kate was silent when she returned
to the car.
Something the woman said OF
Alice held her attention.
"She might be a fine lady now II
she hadn't fallen for the wrong
man."
Perhaps. thought Kate, If Alice
and she had reversed in meeting
their men friends their positions
might now be reversed. Perhaps it
isn't so much myself or Alice's self
which put either of us where we are,
the thought continued; it may be
just circumstances with which we
came in touch at various times.
She marveled at Alice's willing
ness to share her little worldly spoil
with another woman.
And she wondered who the man
had been. the one man who stood
out in Alce's life so distinctly that.
in spite of her reticence. her friend
had sensed the affair. Could II be
possible that he was the man with
whom she ha1 seen Alice? Could

dissonant and liable at any time to break forth into violence.
 As for Germany, the French view is that the new republic is deliberately responsible for it's failure to proceed to an economic recovery. If the Ger mans, with their strong social organi- zation, desired to remedy the eco homie ills of which they complain, the French believe that they can do it, just as the French, who were in far worse condition, have done tt. The French believe that if the Germans would appropriate annually as much as formerly they appropriated to mi tary expenditure alone they could wipe out the separations in less than thirty years and still have enough left each year to carry on their internal operations and developments. It is probable that France is not only le- gally and morally, but also economi- cally in an unassailable position as re- gards her policy and her argurents.

PEOPLES FORUM
On Unwise LeRisIatfon

| To the Editor of The Age-H Herald: : The effort on the part of Hon. J. Lee Long and Judge Mike Sollie | to defeat the adoption of the code of laws compiled by J. J. Mayfield before members of the legislature had been given opportunity to know what the new code con- tained, was wise and in the in terest of the people who pay the taxes of the state. sNo bill should be passed by the legislature un- til representatives of the people have had an opportunity to study the provisions of the bill. No man, be he ever so honest and capable, Is above making mistakes; that mistakes have been made in the past there is no question in the mind of the writer.
 It was Admitted on the floor of the house during the discussion that there is a provision in the new code which would permit cer- tain state employees to receive railroad passes. Permitting the railroads to issue free passes Is against public policy, and in the past history of Alabama proved very hurtful to the interests of the producer of the wealth of the state for the reason that all politicians rode on free passes, and the wri- ter well remembers when an ef- fort on the part of the people to wrest the state government from the control of the railroad corpo- rations there was just one daily and three weekly newspapers that sided with the producers of wealth. This transportation had to be paid by some one; the para sites who rode on the passes cer- tainly contributed nothing to the uplift of the railroads.
 The railroads themselves were hampered by the custom of issuing passes, because every politician, lawyer and manufacturer wanted a pass. There was no limit to the demand on railroads for passes. The farmer. who supplied sixty five per cent. of the tonnage hauled by the railroads, seldom got any recognition, notwithstand- ing it was he who paid the freight on those free rides. Nothwith- standing the fact that the law does not permit the issuance of free passes, some very prominent officials of the state are using passes to my certain knowledge. and these men are no friends to the man who digs for a living.
 The effort to keep representa- tives In ignorance of what is in bills and to railroad legislation is much in evidence at Montgomery. The writer tried for two weeks to get copy of bill appropriat- ing hundreds of thousands of dol lars, but has failed up to date, and I can name a large number of representatives who were equally unsuccessful in getting a copy of the same bill. The re- ply of those who had the bill in charge was: we have not per fected the bill," or the printer has not printed the bill" Ger tainly a carbon copy could have been given of what was the pur- pose of the legislation.
 Unwtse, and oftimes vicious. legislation, is put through under whip and spur without the repre- sentatives knowing what they are voting for.

fitting in any event. Since he could not die an hundred deaths, it was doubtless proper, in the providence of God, that he should die by the hands of violent men and of assassins as he had so long exemplified the life by violence and assassinations. It was, however, but a meager and most in adequate measure of punishment for one who had wrought so many cruel ties and who had been the instrument of so much bloodshed."
 In the eyes of the New York World Villa was perfect villain" If there was any villainous attribute lacking to his character in the days of his high depredations it has been lost sight of in the wealth of villainies he contin- ,ually perpetrated. The World thus whimsically declares: "The world loses a rare type with the passing of Pancho Villa. A search through all the swash-bucklihg novels and melo- dramas of the past will hardly reveal his equal for perfect villainy, Villa succeeding in creating out of himself a figure which towers over the au- tomata of a thousand novelists and playwrights. Born with extraordinary talents, he set himself purposefully to- ward his goal of a true villain. It was no easy task; yet he succeeded magnificently. Your really deep-dyed scoundrel is rarer by far than the re- nowned knight without fear or re- proach. Villa had to fight to clear his name of humanitarian taints The late John Reed almost succeeded in canonizing him in a literary way Rancho had to plunge deep in rapine and murder to clear his name of Reeds tributes. If Villa remained in a locality overlong and chanced to kick few scraps to the peons yelping at his feet, he was immediately dubbed a second Robin Hood by the sycophan- tic beggars. Villa must have per ceived this to be the badge of medioc- rity. Every common cut-purse and snatch-thief, if he remains at large, is called a Robin Hood sooner or later. So Villa, possibly with a sigh, had to lay waste the countryside and despatch more hapless victims to clear his name of all but villainy."
 Inasmuch as the Arkansas Gazette is the only newspaper examined that points it's story with moral, we may as we'll end with that: "They that take the sword-or the deadly weapon of our day-shall perish by the instru ment to which their hands have turned. In the fate of Mexico's fa- nous former bandit there is a certain whose working out set at naught the formal arrangement that Villa and the Mexican government made and observed"
 Let this be warning to all bad men so crude as to use the sword and pistol in this age of more refined methods of banditry!

POOR BOYS WHO
 BECAME FAMOUS
Paul Revere
By Frederick Houk Law

Everyone knows of 'The Mid night Ride of Paul Revere" but very few people know anything else about the man who rode so madly from Charlestown to Lex ington in 1775. scattering the fire of the American revolution.
 When Paul Revere made that famous ride he was forty years old. He was an intense patriot, and had done much in the service of the colonists. In the months preceding he had engraved many comic pictures of the British-for he was an engraver and a silver smith by trade, having learned the work of engraving and of working in gold and silver from his father, who had a small shop in Boston.
 Although the father worked in precious metals. the family had little money for itself. Just as soon as Paul Revere was old enough to work the father took him from school and set him down at bench in the shop. Thus, early in life, without any real ed ucation, Paul found himself obliged to help support the family.
 In those days every young man was a soldier. and at twenty-one Paul Revere was away with the troops in the great movement against the French in Canada. Just before the revolution he was quietly following his trade-but a most active and interested patriot as well. In fact, he was one of the men who helped throw the British tea into Boston harbor. He was so active and vigorous patriot that he was chosen for the carrying of the alarm on April 19, 1775.
 never became a general, nor even colonel, but he served in va rious military capacities in New England. At one time he was in charge of the fort that protected the city of Boston from attack by sea. Wherever he went he car ried with him the same burning patriotism that he had shown on his wild night ride. Once, when he had been sent to Philadelphia to learn about the making of pow der. the jealous people there led him very quickly through the powder mill. His keen eyes saw everything and he carried back full report. Once, too, he was court-martialed, but found free from blame. In his later days he was a leading citizen of Boston, and founder of a great charity. He died at eighty-three.
