DAINTY VOMES FOR SUMMER;

MYTH the many new fabrics that

popular for summer wear 1t becomes
less and less difficult to be attractively

Printed wolfe is, Of course, not new
material but when 1t is printed in the
unique pattern shown above which
combines pine boughs and cones with

hind that barrier of rock, and she
drew the revolver out Of its holster,
and listened eagerly for any sound Of
guidance from below. If he made any
effort to climb up, she meant to shoot
to kill.
She dare not venture to advance
her face around the rock edge, for
fear the movement might bring her
into view against that vista Of light.
The fellow was evidently waiting and
watching just as she was, disconnected
by her, strange disappearance. No
doubt he half believed his bullet had
found it's mark, that she had fallen,
either wounded, or dead, into some
crevice, but was afraid as yet to ven
ture up that narrow tunnel. She
could not remain there indefinitely
waiting for him to gain courage to
attempt the ascent. Her hand, with
/, the weapon in 1t, reached noiselessly
out beyond the edge Of the rock, and
pointed downward. A stone ratified
below and her finger pulled the trigger.
The muffled report echoed back from
the rocks, the red flash of the dis
charge faded into darkness, and the
pungent smoke blew back into her
face; but there was nothing else. No
cry, no crunch of falling body, no
thud of lead. She listened helplessly,
half crazed to empty every load from
her poised weapon into that silence
below. What could it. all mean? What
had happened behind that black veil?
An hour passed, an hour of dreadful
watching, Of tense expectation. 1t
seemed to her the blue light streaming
through that opening was already los
ing its power, as though the sun was
going down. If she would escape she
must go while she could yet see the
way. Desperate as the chance was, it
must be accepted. She did not look
down, or permit herself to think of
the possible danger lurking below.

heart beating rapidly, she drew her.

THE VALUE OF DEFEAT
BY DR.. Frank Crane

TT HE Osaki Mainichi, the Japanese news
paper with the largest circulation, edi-
torially quotes a Japanese general as
follows:
The Japanese nation has never expert
ence defeat from an enemy; but the expe-
rfence of defeat is as valuable as that Of
victory in war, in the training of national
characteristics to meet adversaries with for
titude and courage.
Japan needed very badly some sort of
training to qualify her as a great nation.
The earthquake came at the right moment
for otherwise she. might have degenerated
new phase of our national character Is
thus bound to be developed in this unprece-
denied adversely"
B. w. Fleisher, of the Japan Advertiser
declares that "At noon of September 1. the
old Japan ceased with the earthquake. The
days of the imperialstic and militaristic
regime have gone forever"
There is sound sense and knowledge of
human nature in these Statements
Every man, every institution, every nation
needs failure once in while
This ought to be a good deal OF comfort
to most of us.
No mans life Is continuous triumph
Even the path of true love never runs
smoothly, and for that matter no other road
is CREASED all the way except the road to
ruin The one thing a man seems to be able
to do with UNMARRIED success is to go to the
dogs.
The trail of every successful man, every
dominant nation, and every permanent insti-
tuition leads upward, and many a time the

stumbles the way.
The qualities of wisdom, prudence. eau

victory that teaches us these things.

MY FAVORITE STORIES


Most Of us are familiar with the story of
the Irish longshoreman who dropped into a
strange bar on West street in New York for
a glass of beer. AS he entered, there came
to his ears from the back room sounds be-
takening a or-all-battle-the crash of
bottles, the thud of falling bodies, the splin-
tering of furniture, the cutlery of the bellig
erents.
With an eager light in his eye the new
conner ranged UP to the bar. Already he was
rolling up his sleeves.
''TeII me, young man." he asked of the
barkeeper, at the same time moistening the
palm of his right hand, sis that private
fight goin' on back there, or kin anywan
take hand?"
There is another little yarn not quite so
well known which takes a somewhat similar
turn. One Sunday there was miners pic
mic at Butte, Mont. An outstanding feature
of the days festivities was a tug-of-war be-
tween team of S1ovaks and team of Irish
men.
The Slovaks were winning, so the Irish
men dropped the rope and began to fight 1t
was q good fight. One brawny Irishman had
an opponent down and was pounding him at
his leisure, when a friend dashed up:
Gimme a belt at him" said the friend.

Of his mouth; go and git wan for yerself

rodotus, reverence all goats, the males more
than the females; and the goatherds, too,

But of the goats one especially is reverenced,
and when he dies there is great mourning in
all the Mendesian district; and both the goat
and the god Pan are called in the Egyptian
tongue 'Mendes.'"
Now, it is altogether likely that many a
precious secret of civilization lies buried in
the dust of centuries gone, and particularly
in the immemorial haunts of the Nile. Is
it thence that our savant of France has de-
rived his sensational recipe? AS we moderns
say, "The hair of the dog is good for the
bite" so court physicians to the builders OF
the pyramids may have counseled, 1.-THE smell
of goat is good for everything"
We merely suggest this as an inviting
path for speculation and research, leaving
the conclusion of the matter to such learned
Psychologists as DR.. Henry Brestead and o.
B. Keller. Touching one point, however we
must assert and firmly maintain our convic-
lions: by no process of "retributive punish
ment' Is one healed when inhaling goat
but by the medicinable qualities Of the crea~
ture itself. AS Shakespeare has it,
o, mick1e is the power of grace that lies
In herbs, plants, stones, and their true
qualities:
For naught, so vile upon the earth doth
live,
But to the earth some special good doth
give.

QUIPsS AND QUIDDITIES

Mffles, whose social bulls are notorious,
found himself at a party talking to a mel
ancholy looking man whom Miffles did his
best to cheer. He indicated a lady of more
than usual lack of beauty and said, 'Heav-
ems, who do you suppose that hideous old
dame ISL"
OF course, the melancholy. little man
said, That's my wife"
Mtffles had done it again, but his kindly
heart went laundering on, inspiring him to
say Cheer up, old man, you ought to see
mime
1t was his first great speech, and he wanted
1t to be a success.
His Grafton was long and passionate, and
he wished to end it with warning.
He could have couched his warning in the
old proverb about locking the stable door
after the horse was stolen, but that was too
commonplace. He wanted something original.
He thought of something better Then he
shouted: Don't, I beg of you-don't wait

The R;qht Remedu

rT7HE significant and assuring feature of
the report of the federal commission
that looked into the needs of wheat
growers in the West is that it recommends
as most important that which is economically
most sound and which most directly can be
done. Not government price-fxing, not gov
eminent paternalism, but business-like CO.
operation among the farmers themselves,
particularly in the matter of marketing, is
the remedy prescribed. The inquiry was
made, at the instance of President Harding
by Mr.. Eugene Meyer, Jr., manager of the
War Finance Corporation, and former Con-
gresham Mondell, a director. It is greatly
to their credit and will prove greatly to the
growers benefit that they kept scrupulously
clear Of =nathgzwhich the mere politician is
won't to take. Those who bid the farmer
look to the government rather than to him
self for the working out of agricultural and
economic problems are not his friends-as
none perceives more clearly than he. when he
thinks.
