belonged to her. her interest was
focused on hinn-and not on folk
whom she had never seen.
Richard, himself, talked much
less of his uplift work than he
used to. Perhaps he was afraid
Of boring her. He was the most
considerable Of men.
And she must disappoint him
by telling him that she would not
marry him for six months! In
her heart she was glad that the
matter was definitely settled. She
was satisfied with existing con-
ditions. Later. when she had been
engaged longer, she would be
more eager for marriage. In the
meantime it would be interesting
to get her trousseau!
She had not thought of this
until now! What a good time lay
ahead of her! She would need at
least six months in which to pre-
pare all the clothes she wanted!
She would tell Richard this.
She would not tell him that she
was following a wish Of her ex-
guardians. That would anger
Rankin against Muir.
OF course she was eager to go
abroad. Yet-she could go as well
next summer as now. Summer
in England and Scotland would
be lovely.
When about four O'Clock the
next afternoon. she received a
telephone from her lover. asking
her II he might come up for an
hour, she suggested that he and
she take a walk up Riverside
drive.
Then you could come back

duce for the nation It's greatest need

II am heartily anxious to do all
in my power to extend the influence
of the Scout program, because Am
must avail itself of every re-
source for producing that type of
American Citizenship which will be
content with the acceptance of the
privileges of citizenship without ac-
tive participation in meeting the re-
sponstbilities of citizenship. In the
Boy Scout movement, you not only
place emphasis upon service, but you
have worked out your program in
such a way that boys actually learn
by doing and in a natural manner
acquire that attituoe of mind which
brings to them a consciousness that
they must be citizens of the particle
pating kind, and not mere on-look-
ers.
IT do most sincerely hope that you
will continue your efforts to recruit
increased leadership and greater
resources. in order that more boys
of scout age may have the advan-
tages of this movement. which has
earned for itself appraisement as
one of the greatest assets our Ma
ton has today.

PROFITABLE PARTNERSHIP

New York City is a full partner

There is a different kind of part

local taxes some $2,4O0, O00-all
clear profit for its partners, the
State and municipal governments.
The Car Rider
paid these taxes. Dividing the
total tax bill by the total number
of first fare passengers, we find that
three quarters Of a cent-out of
each fare-went to the State or
the municipalities.
In Addition
the car rider was charged with a
million more dollars for the cost of

All Together
more than one cent out of each fare
paid to Public Service Railway
goes to relieve New Jersey taxpay-

When You Consider
that fourteen per cent Of all Public
