The sounds thrilled her. He turned
his ear to the wind and listened. Mo-
tionless he sat for what to her seemed
hours.
Then the stirring memory Of the
days adventure, the feeling Of the
beauty Of the night, and a strange,
deep-seated, sweetly vague conscious
ness Of happiness portending, were all
burned out in hot, pressing pain at the
remembrance of Stewards disgrace in
her eyes, Something had changed
within her so that what had been an
ger at herself was sorrow for him. He
was such a splendid man. She could
not feel the same; she knew her debt
to him, yet she could not thank him,
could not speak to him. She fought
an unintelligible bitterness.
Then she rested with closed eyes,
and time seemed neither short nor
long When Stewart called her she
opened her eyes to see the gray of
dawn. She rose and stepped outside.
The horses whinnied. In q moment
she was In the saddle, aware Of
cramped muscles and a WEAKNESS Of
limbs. Stewart led off at sharp trot
into the fir forest. They came to a.
trail into which he turned. The horses
travelled steadily; the descent grew
less steep; the frs thinned out; the
gray gloom frightened.
When Madeline rode out of the frs
the sun had arisen and the foothills
rolled beneath her; and at their edge,
where the gray Of valley began, she
saw dark patch that she knew was
the ranch house.

Safety Councils
!, the Editor Of The Times

To the Editor Of The Times
have read with interest your edi-
torial "WhereAccidents Occur"
I consider this the most important
question the Americans have before
them. l firmly believe 1t is the duty
of every organized body in the State
to take up this all important subject
and handle it vigorously.
Every town in the State and the
United States should organize safety
council, to be composed of men and
women in business and in industry,
and all who could be interested for
the purpose Of devising ways and
means, pointing out and correcting
hazardous conditions and practices.
Impress the public with the impor-
lance of guarding against accidents.
Every coroner in the State should
make IT a business to give all tnfor-
nation to the public in regard to &C
cidents and he should have a safety
committee Of as many business men
and women as would become inter
ested to cooperate with him. Inquire
into the causes and cooperate with
the safety council These movements
must be of a permanent effort, not
spasmodic, for, to get satisfactory re-
suits, the movement must be kept
alive. ALEXANDER SHANE.

The captain walked the quarterback,
A braWny deep-sea rover,
He loved to Quaff his half and half
When he was half-seas over.
He'd been a quarter-master once,
But swiftly he had risen
Until the captains quarters were
Indubitably hisn.
At school he was a quarterback
Ere he became a sailor.
His father wanted him to be
A landsman and a tailor;
The boy remarked, In that career
I'd find no joy at all;
A tailor is one-ninth a man
A fraction much too small"
And so he walked the quarterback
And sailed across the foam,
While thinking of his better half
Who waited him at home.
But still he kept a halfan-eye
Upon his half-breed crew.
And noted from which quarter came
The wind that blew and blew.
A half-moon glimmered in the sky,
The captains thoughts were stirred
To dwell upon his newborn son
Who was, it CHANGED. his third
| might go on for half a year
About this captains actions,
But l can't show his whole career,
For I've run out of fractions.

can run where they please, and water
runs only where God puts it, killed Off
the water traffic This was for private
profit. 1t was not for the public good.
The railways should be made to trans
fer freight 10 boats wherever posi-
BILE. Rates should be made to favor
this instead Of to prevent 1t as now.
The greatest inland waterway in the
world should run from the Atlantic
through the heart of the continent
through the St. Lawrence and the
Mississippi, from Montreal to New
Orleans. The Ohio and its branches
should feed It. The Missouri should
feed it at least as far as Omaha.
Even at present rates this would
add about ten cents a bushel to the
price of wheat in the interior, and
would increase the farmers share of
prices on his other products accord
ingly, cheaper coal in greater pro
portion, and make living easier In al
most every part of the country. 1t
would give the farmers something like
a breathing spell
Favors Government Ownership
I wish I could see some way to
avoid government ownership, but
there is no other way. And the wish
to avoid it is, after all, a cowardly one,
Here is our situation:
At least $40. 900 600 900 is needed to
rehabilitate the railways; and to cleo
trify them where they need It. and to
provide waterways coordinating with
them will take as much more, 1 sup
pose. These things we must have.
The railways cannot sell stock for
their share Of this when in private
hands; and If they remain in private
hands the waterways end Of II may as
well be hidden good-by, except for
few projects
But the United States could dc
these things. 1t could get the money
at low rates. It could set up It's great
Giant Power Company. It could use
all the equipment as q unit, as dur
ing the war. II could use all the ter
minals Jointly. II could throw to the
poor roads their share Of work. II
could make the railways and the
waterways one system. And I think
the Government that runs the post
office so we'll could do it at a saving
which would be the salvation Of the
Nation. There is no other way. II
there We're I should be in favor OF
1t, I believe. But there is not. The
Government must DO It.

Henry Ford were President and Lew
Shank. Governor of Indiana
Such a condition would place this
Nation and State in pitiful condi-

The average voter viii tell you there
is no more chance of Ford becoming
President than there is for Shank to
become Governor of Indiana There
is a chance of both such catastrophes.
The man who sits back and says
Ford and Shank have no chance" is

duty of every citizen to see that Ford

no chance for election.

Two In Seat

To the Editor Of The Times
I see accidents every day and really
believe one of the biggest and detrt-
mental causes Of automobile accidents
is where we allow and tolerate four
and five people to pile into the front
seat of a Ford or coupe and expect
a man to handle a car.
There should be a law prohibiting
more than two in the drivers seat
in a car. No man is able to handle
a car with more than two in the
drivers seat
No railroad company would allow
an engineer to have any one around,
while driving his engine,

Attend Part Time

Nearly 1000 900 pupils are today
attending school only part time be-
cause there are not enough seats to
go around. The per cent OF children
between the ages of and 10 who are
not attending school at all. or who are
attending only a few hours a day and
few months of year, is increasing
in many parts Of the United States.
Also. the proportion Of qualified
teachers in the schools, both in cities
and in rural districts, has grown
smaller each year during the past
decade. The purchasing power Of the
salaries paid instructors today is so
much less than It was in 1918, the
better type Of teachers has found II
more profitable to get Jobs as typists,
clerks. walters and mattresses.

Gently announced with a magnificent
gesture the greatest product Of the

children. Emphasis was laid on the
number Of children. Had the num-
her Of days these same chilcren spend

report would have been less hatter-
ing TO the rural communities.
ITS Days Average Term
The average length of the school
year in cities of the nation is about
175 days. The average in the coun-
try districts Is about 100 days The
average salary paid teachers IN cities
Of over 100 900 is about $500. The
average wage In the little red school

The average spent on pupils by

to attend school 200 days a year and

and for another to attend only thirty
days and be taught by an unedu-

IWI ers, it appears, are quite i'm
portant. Measured in dollars,
they are probably worth every one Of
the 1871 they receive annually.
At the very least they are worth the
$500 per year some Of them draw
down, year in and year out. Whether
they are worth it or not, that's what
they get, according to the reports Of
the United States bureau of education
and the National Education Associa-
ton.
Lest the public get the opinion that
this represents a tremendous bargain
that the public is getting a great
deal for it's money-the National Edu-
cation Association adds to its report
the statement that lover 81 per cent
