Cartoon Winners ToBeDecided
 By Writers

Six prominent political writers and a representative of the league have been named to pick the winner of a cartoon contest now being conducted by the Ma tional League of Women Voters as a part of its get-out-the-vote campaign.

Cartoonists are competing for a prize of $250. En- tries must be made by sending seven clippings which show the name and date of the publica tion in which the car. toon appeared. The cartoon must be published between September 2 and November 4 of this year, and all en- tries must be received at league head. quarters in Washington before Nob vember 15.

Five miles out at sea from Port Royal, whence the details of the coast Of Jamaica were losing their sharp ness, the Arabella hove to, and the sloop, she had been towing was warped alongside.
 Captain Blood escorted his compul- sory guest to the head of the ladder. Colonel Bishop breathed freely at last.
 A safe voyage home to you, Colonel, darling" said he in valediction, and from his easy, smiling manner you would never have dreamt of the pain carried in his breast.
 On the mole at Port Royal, under the low, embattled wall of the fort, Major Mallard and Lord Julian waited to re. ceive him, and it was with infinite re- lief that they assisted him from the sloop.
 Anyway, it's not for long," growled the Colonel, finding speech at last. No, by ."He emphasized the assur- ance of an unprintable oath. If spend the last shilling of my fortune and the last ship of the Jamaica fleet, I'll have that rascal in a hempen neck tie before I rest.'' He had empurpled in his angry vehmence, and the veins of his forehead stood out like whipcord. Come, my lord. We must take order about this, you and l."
 They went off together, skirting the redoubt and so through courtyard and

An Interior Decorator Chose This Linoleum
 Floor for Her Own Dining Room

THIS sketch was made from \ photograph of the dining-room of a prominent New York interior decorator.
 She chose this black and cream inlaid tile pattern of Armstrong's Linoleum for her home becan5e the ltmolsGm wGs prrtty.
 Like thousands of other women who buy linoleum every day, this decorator knew sthat a linoleum floor was economical; she knew that it was easy to cleap; she knew that it was durable.
 Most women know all these things about linoleum floors. They are discovering an even more interest ing thing-that a floor of modern linoleum Is beautiful.
 Architects are showing them that this is so. Decorators are demon- strating 1t again and again. Mer- chants are proving 1t.

MRS. BEASLEY HONORS
 MISS NORTON AT SHOWER

Mrs. Frank Beasley entertained Sat urday afternoon with a miscellaneous shower, honoring Miss Frances NortoA, who will become the bride of MT. James Hunter Arnold of Madisonville, Ky, on October 4.
 During the afternoon a delightful musical program was, given by Mrs. l.. M. Vim, Mrs. Albert Dobyns, Miss Annette Norton and Miss Sadie Jones.
 The gifts were given to the bride-elect in a unique way. She was invited to stroll along a woodlawn path, which was marked with milestones bearing ap- propriate suggestions for bride-to-be and also along the way gifts were found. At the end of the path an altar was found, where the gifts were opened and displayed to the guests.
 Little Jane and Julis Wallace served salad course. The hostess was as sisted in entertaining her guests by Mrs Raymond Carter. Mrs. F. P. Dobyns and Mrs. Bagby.

The easy way to keep a linoIeuza floor good-looking is to wax it. Rub the wax in thoroughly and polish with weighted brush. Rewax once or twice a year, and on cleaning day restore the walked-on places with a cloth moistened in liquid wax. Scrubbing linoleum is unnecessary. Strong soaps or securing powders areharmful.

CHAfEEh AA-C0nGtnu0d "If they so much as put shot across my bows, up goes their deputy-governol to the yardarm. Your only hope Colonel, lies in:the fact that shall send them word of that intention. And SC that you may mend as far as you can the harm you have done, it's yourself shall bear them in the message, my lord"
 "I'll see you damned before I do, fumed his lordship. "Why. that's unreasonable and un reasoning. But if ye insist, why, an other messenger will do as we'll, and another hostage aboard--as I had originally intended-will make my hand the stronger"
 Aye, in Gods name, go. my lord, spluttered Bishop, ''and make yourself obeyed."
 Lord Julian bowed stiffly to the cow ering deputy governor. You under stand, sir, that do as you desire" he said coldly.
 Aye, man, aye!" Bishop assented hastily.
 "very well," Blood escorted Lord Julian to the entrance ladder at the foot of which still swung the Arabella's own cock boat.
 Its goodbye, my lord," said Blood And there's another thing" He prof fered parchment. Its the commis sion. Bishop was right when he said il was a mistake"
 T am sorry," Lord Julian said sin. cerely. Il still do not perceive-blister me if l do-why you should not have found someone else to carry your mes. sage to the Commandant, and kept me aboard as an added hostage for his obe. dience to your wishes" Floods vivid eyes looked into the others that were clear and honest, and he smiled, a little wistfully. A mo. ment he seemed to hesitate Why shouldn't tell you? It's the same reason that's been urging me to pick quarrel with you so that might have the satisfaction of slipping a couple of feet of steel into your vitals When l accepted your commission, l was moved to think it might redeem me in the eyes of Miss Bishop-for whose sake, as you may have guessed, I took it. But I have discovered that such thing is beyond accomplishment l should have known it for sick mans dream. l have discovered also that if shes choosing you, as 1 believe she is she's choosing wisely between us, and that's why I'll not have your life risked by keeping you aboard whilst the mes. sage goes by another who might bungle it. And now perhaps yell understand. ,
 And you tell me this?"
 T tell you because Oh plague on it!-so that ye may be made to realize that there's something of the unfortunate gentleman left under the thief and pirate she accounts me, and that her own good is my supreme desire Knowing that, she may faith she may remember me more kindly-ii it's only in her prayers. That's ali, my lord.'
 Lord Julian held out his hand
 T wonder whether you are right said his lordship, ''and whether you are not the better man."
 Where she is concerned see that you make sure that I am right. Goodbye to you"
 The Arabella sailed within the hour moving lazily before a sluggish breeze The fort remained silent and there was no movement from the fleet to hinder her departure.
