 Beatrice Lang sent her telegram to the Van Gloves early on the morn ing following her decision to go to Murray Bay. By noon she had an answer, Her friends hoped she would come to them immediately.
 The large trunkful of clothes that had been shipped direct to Saxviile from the Maine coast was not even opened, but was now expressed on to Canada. The little steamer trunk that had accompanied the widow to Southport was repacked and ready to start with her on her Journey northward tomorrow.
 On the afternoon before she left Saxvllle she had call from Victoria Walsh Beatrice had teiephoned to her favorite requesting her to come to see her.
 q am going off again tomorrow. my dear" she said. And I want glimpse of you before I go."
 She greeted Victoria effusively when that young person entered her room at 5 o'clock.
 'I am so glad to see you" Mrs. Lang exclaimed, kissing her caller. then holding her at arms length and looking at her. "I sent for you early so that we could have little visit together before there was any chance of Kenneth's coming in and inter- ruptiEg us. He Is very busy just now. I hope, dear, that you have had the compassion to miss him just little. For he has missed you. Ahi I see you blushing. You did miss him-didn't you. my childf"
 "Of course, I didv' Victoria de- clared, laughing nervously. And was glad to see him last night. told him that he was handsomer than ever.'
 And he said the same to me about you!' Mrs. Lang rejoined, her face beaming with delight. An, you young peoplei You do not know how l renew my youth in your beautiful enthusiasmsl Tell me about your self, Victoria, dear"
 It was the same thing that Ken meth had demanded last night. But the girl did not answer the mother as she had answered the son.
 q have not been doing anything that would interest you. especially" she said "The summer has, so far, been rather quiet. I have stayed at home with dad-and, except for an occasional weekend, have not <been away
 You have not wanted to go?" Mrs. Lang asked. "Or has there been some attraction here that has made it seem better worth while to stay in Saxville?"
 The girls flush of embarrassment might mean one of two things. The widow was determined to learn which it meant
 "Saxville has not many attractions in hot weather" Victoria parried, except the country club where one plays tennis and golf. And 1t has been so hot this summer that l have avoided strenuous exercise"
 You have really missed KennethF the widow insisted.
 The girl nodded.
 T am glad you have," Kenneth's mother affirmed.
 Victoria Walsh looked straight at her, She was playing game Ana if she played at all it would be With her wits alert. This was no time Tor silly scruples.
 You will not tell him said that, will you, Mrs. I4ang2" she begged. .It sounds bold--T suppose-and too modern. perhaps But, you know, l am inodern-and forgive me if say that hate conventionality.

 They did talk of something else. Why should they not? The woman of the world flattered herself that she had made assurance doNbly sure. Now she could have a perfect time at Murray Bay and in New York.
 Only once more did she refer to the subject she had introduced. It was when victoria rose to take her leave.
 "Good-by, dear child" Beatrice said. Then, with motherly kiss, she added, "Tal1e care of my boy while am away-for my sake, as we'll as for-others!"
 q will do my best Victoria as- sured her with a becoming blush.

When Raggedy Andy and the Knight came near the Knights home, they found an old Whirlgig, which the Knight had made when he was a boy, and it was the incest kind of a Whirligig, too, because after they got upon it, all they had to do was to give one push, and the Whirligis went around and around. But when they wished to stop, and the Knight tried to stop the Whirligig by drag ging his feet upon the ground. the Whirligig just kept .on spinning around. Then Raggedy Andy jumped from the Whirligig and it came to a stop.
 Do you know what was the trouble with the Whirligig?" the Knight asked. "The Whirligig has not been used for so long the stop part got rusty!'
 But if it got rusty, then it wouldn't go at allH' Raggedy laughed
 Well maybe not" the Knight agreed, But now that we have had nice ride on the Whirligig, let us hasten to my house and get my wife and little boy. for l wish to take them back to the Magical Castle as soon as I can,"
 Of course, Raggedy Andy was anxi- ous to get back to the Magical Castle too for he had left Raggedy Ann there. and there were so many magical things in the Castle with which to have fun.
 My house is just around the next bend in the path!" the Knight told Raggedy Andy, "so there is no need of getting upon your Magical Wood en Sword just to ride that small dis tance!
 "Then we will wallx8 Raggedy Andy replied as he picked up his magic sword and followed the Knight When Raggedy Andy and the Knight reached the bend in the path they found another Knight in green armor sitting upon a stone. "Is that your brother?" Raggedy Andy asked the Knight.
 q do not know who he isl? the Knight replied.
 When they had walked up to the Knight in the green armor, the greer | Knight jumped up. "Ha! Hal" h, 1 cried, "I have been waiting her, years and years for youl Where have | you been?"
 'I have been guarding the gate tc the Magical Castle!" Raggedy Andy. friend replied. Why"
 Because the Green Knight replied | T heard there was a Knight lived here and so I came to fight witt him, to see if he is as good a Knight as l am."
 "Then we will fight right away!' l Raggedy Andy's Knight said as h, drew his sword. The Green Knigh' drew his sword too and the Knight. danced about each other. Wait z minuteH Raggedy Andy finally sait after he had thought real hard There is a better way than fighting to tell which is the best Knight" "Then tell us what it isl" bott Knights said as they quit fighting and came up to Raggedy Andy. "It isn't any fun fighting anyhow,"
 T will give you each six cream puffs out of my magic basket" sait Raggedy Andy, And the one who eats his cream puffs first is tn, best Knight.
 So the Knights ate the cream puff: and came out even. There" cried Raggedy Andy. You are both the best Knight" And so the Knight. shook hands and were good friends which is always much better thar being enemies.

TEIE CHI D2EN < VOMA1NS SpHEPE < THE HOM
Mothers UnpardonabLe Sin To Raise Selfish Children

of everybody else. and give nothing in return. She taught her that a woman's gods are fashion, and style, and luxury.
 And when the girl got married she ruined ner husband with her extrav- aganee, and broke his heart with her selfishnoss, and she finally left him because she could not stand the gaff of doing her duty as wife.
 Mother was equally the evil fairy of her son. He was q high tempered. strong, willful boy. She was too weak to try to control him, so she let him go his way, and run rough-shod over the household. She let him in- su:c her when he was crossed. she never taught him any chivalry to- ward women, or any pity for those in his power, or any sense of obliga- tion toward any one.
 And when son married he made the brutal sort of husband that makes a woman curse the day she was born. He broke his wifes heart with his cruelty and his tyranny. and his infi- deltities were the scandal of all who knew them. For he had been taught to regard no law except his own pleasure and he put no restraint on his passions.
 Yet this woman and this man were not innately vicious. They were sim ply the result of their mothers train- ing. She could just as well have de- veloped the good qualities In her daughter and son as the bad. She could have taught them to be unself- ish, and to consider other people. She could have imbued them with a sense of honor and obligation. She could have fitted the girl to be a mans helpmeet Instead of his undo ing. She could have taught her son to be tender, and generous in his dealings with woman.
 But mothers don't do this, and it is literal and a cynical truth that every woman is hoping and praying that her son and daughter will not get the same kind of a wife and hus- band that she is raising up to inflict on some other woman's son and daughter.
 No woman wants her son to marry the selfish, extravagant, untaught. untrained girl that his sister is. No mother wants her daughter to marry the selfish. spoiled. high-tempered, irritable sort of man that her son is. But they do. for all the other mothers are woroking the same matrimonial confidence game, and when the two undiseipllned young things get together. it is no wonder that they fight like the Kilkenny cats.
 In one generation women could wipe out matrimonial misery, and do away with divorce if they would only raise their children up to make good husbands and wives instead of bad ones And they won't do it. This is woman's greatest sin. It is a wom- ans inhumanity to woman, and man, that makes countless thousands mourn.

DREAMS THAT HAVE THE KNEE
 AS SIYR.JECT

reader. puzzled by dream that she had broken her knee, asks the meaning of the vision. Some time ago l told you what it meant to dream of hands. and as all the parts of the body figure in our dream ex- periences, each one will be discussed in due time.
 And the knee is ono of those which may mean a good deal in the dream CTS future life. So far as the writer of the letter is concerned, I am sorry to be compelled to tell her that a broken knee means loss and priva- tion to him or her who suffers the injury. If the person whom you see with a broken knee seems to be d stranger, you must, in order to arrive at the correct interpretation, think carefully of every detail of the vision until at last one of them strikes you as connecting the accident with a person you know. If you fail even then, the dream probably means that you will receive an appeal for help from a source quite strange to you, and that, directly, the loss and pow erty pictured by the dream, concern you not.
 Bent knees are sign of physical suffering. If they are bare, the pain will be child's, if clothed, mans or woman's, according to the dream. Good luck is in store for men who see a woman's bare knee which bears no disfigurement-not the leg, just the knee. The leg means jealousy. If the knee is that of a girl a man loves he will soon marry her. If an old woman's he will amass riches. If a strange young woman's, he will soon have the choice between love and money. and if he touches the knee he will chose love.
 A woman who sees mans knee will be a mother in years time--in other words, such a vision means marriage to the single woman who dreams it. To see a knee bleed is a sign of fire, to see an open wound upon the flesh, fire combined with extreme danger. Dirt upon the knee means an accident, such as fall or an injury in a fight. A hairy knee means a disagreement with a man, due to his gharshness. unreasonable ness or brutality To see a knee through torn clothing signifies shame and disgrace, not to the owner of the knee, but to the one who sees it.
 If you see many people with bare knees, you will dance and make merry in happy company.
 Answers to Dream Questions.
 Bertha-You tell me that all you need to do to bring about certain dreams is to think or the respective subjects, and then your slumber will take them and fashion them into well connected stories of the same kind. This, indeed, is wonderful gift, but you will readily see that I can not interpret such visions, for they are not the spontaneous creations of your sleeping mind. but the creatures of your waking consciousness.

William P. DILLINGHAM;.

william Paul Dillingham;, senat tor
Of the United States from Vermont. Is
dead. His death will be deeply re-
GREETED by his colleagues, who loved
and respected him. 1t will be regretted
also by the people OF his state. who
conferred upon him the highest honors
in their power, and by the people of
the National Capital. In whose interest
Senator Dillingham; labored for many
years as senator and member of the
District Of Columbia committee.
Admittedly a conservative. there
was no suggestion ever made that
Senator Dillingham; was controlled by
1.-The interests" His honesty and in.
tegrity of purpose were never ques-
toned. He was a senator of the United
States in all that term implies. In per-
sonality he was kindly. courteous, un-
hurried, a clear thinker and never to
be rushed off his feet.
Senator Dillingham; was the oldest
member Of the Senate in point Of
years. and the third oldest in point of
service at the time of his death. Sena-
tor Knute Nelson of Minnesota, who
died a few weeks ago, was his senior
in years by ten months. Senator Page
of Vermont. who voluntarily retired
from the Senate March last, was his
senior by eleven months. The old order
is passing.

Ringside Radio.

a woman's scream from the ring
side; the monotonous counting of a
referee, thrusting into oblivion the as
pirations Of former World Champion
Jess Willard to come back" were
heard by hundreds of residents of
Washington last night, although they
were more than 200 miles from the ac-
tual scene. The radio made it possible
for thousands in all parts Of the coun-
try to follow the big fight in New
Jersey. A vivid picture of the pre-
liminaries and of each round of the
fight itself came in distinct tones out
of the air. The cheers and roars and
groans, and even the impact Of some
of the blows, were audible.
So the radio has come into a new
use. Not many months ago the ad-
dress of President Harding to Con-
gress was radioed from the floor Of
the House Of Representatives across
the continent, and hundreds of thou
sands of persons listened in" But
last night was the first time, it is said,
that residents of Washington have
been able to loll in comfortable chairs
at home, and at the same time be
present, through one of their senses.
at a big prize fight.
The reformers apparently have over
looked a bet. Through their efforts
moving pictures of prize fights, which
were expected to be a source Of mil
lions of revenue to the fight promoters
and the principals, have been pro-
hibited. The transmission of such pic
lures in interstate commerce was
banned a number Of years ago. But
now fight fans are to "sit in" at the
ringside, as it were, by the use of
their ears.
How soon an attempt will be made
to suppress these audible pictures of
prize fights is, of course, merely a
matter OF conjecture today. But as
Congress does not meet until next De-
cember a federal law dealing with the
matter cannot be enacted for nearly
six months. The radio fans, therefore.
should be able to get an "earful' OF a
Dempsey -Firpo or Dempsey Wills fight
on Labor day. If such an event is
finally scheduled.
For a number of years efforts have
been made to bring about the enact
ment of a law to prohibit the inter
state transmission by wire of the odds
on horse races and other news Of the
sport of kings" Many hearings have
been held before committees of Con-
gress, but so far no such law has been
put on the statute books. The anti
prize fight moving picture act went
through with rush.

S. Bill Circulates
Within Union Circles.

An experiment is being made in
Seattle with IS bill. 1t has been
framed with a leather case, with cellu-
loid sides, that its identy might be kept
distinctive, and started on a journey in
trade union circles, with view to de-
termining how loyal the union members
are to their principle that they should
confine their patronage to shops and
firms that employ union workmen or
meet with union approval. A record OF
the bill's travels has been kept. and up
to the present it has been exchanged
for goods or services more than 100
times without leaving union circles. Ii
is travelling so rapidly that new
leather case has become necessary to
protect 1t from wear.
II a coin which has been widely cir
culated could talk it would tell OF an
enormous amount OF work that 1T has
made possible, and of a huge volume of
goods that has changed hands through
Its fundamentally.
The Seattle SIS bill has been confined
to trade union circles, but the ordinary
bill or coin Is not exclusive. 1t has
been hailed as the greatest Of demo-
Gratis, since II draws no lines OF class,
creed, race OF color. but mingles with
every sort Of people. Rich and poor.
aristocrats and proletarians. the mighty
and the lowly, take it to themselves
when 1t comes their way, without the
slightest hesitation. Only rarely is the
come. whatever it's record may have
been, unless 1t has been stolen. And
since II cannot talk, once the thief gets
it into circulation there Is slight prob
ability of its returning to the rightful
owner-PittsburRh Post.
