CHAPTER NNNIII
Children of the Desert

~ LORIA went from gay dinner party
7 to view the private showing of Man
nings picture, "Children of the Des-
ert." In the large projecting room she sat
between Vera Vamp and Barry Carr, and,
strange to say, the situation did not strike
her as at all homogeneous.
She had forgotten that she had once de-
spised Vera Camp for her lying press no
tees. for the fact that she pretended to be
other than she was for her ridiculous NOV
ing-picture name. Vera was now one of the
crowd; she was gay, a little too crude at
times but agreeable enough for all that.
Gloria no longer cared about pretense; it
did not grieve her as it once had; she ac-
cepted her new friends, caring only for sur
face values.
The lights Went out, and in the darkness
she felt Barry cropping for her hand. For a
moment she was annoyed; the old Gloria
rose UP in her and Ionged to strike the
cropping fingers with all her might, Then
suddenly she felt amusement and great
Discrimination for effort of any kind. Better
to drift, and, after all, if Barry wanted to
hold her hand, why not? She couldn't see
that it made any difference.
And so she allowed her soft, slim fingers
to remain within his hot grasp while the
light flickered On the screen and the picture
began.
"RoIf Templeton. the Great Screen Favor
ite in. the Mammoth Production, Children
of the Desert
There followed the name of the director,
the cast, and then came the first explanatory
caption. Gloria read it idly, faint smile
on her lips And then suddenly there was
thrown on the screen a closeup of Rolf as
the desert chief He wore the stereotyped
robes Of az Arab. From out of the cowled
hood his eyes seemed to look straight into
hers. There was a sternness about his face
that she had never seen it wear, and as she
stared there shot through her strange
feeling Of emotion.
1t was long since She had felt any emo
ton. Not since that night when he had
last held her in his arms, forcing his kisses
on her unwilling lips begging her to come
back to him. Since then she had ceased to
feel anything: she had deliberately repressed
all emotion. She had come here tonight be
cause it was easier TO come than to refuse.
Besides, she dreaded an evening spent alone
al the bungalow, and she knew there would
be no danger Of running into Rolf, for he
was still in the East.
Besides that. it had appealed to her van
ty TO think Of watching Rolls pastures on
the screen. Knowing 50 we'll that he could
not act, that his go2d LOOKS were all he

MY FAVORITE STORIES
by IRWIN COBB


Long Brown was a noted gambler in the
early days on the Pacific slope and in the
mountain country. In time, every\ gold camp
came to know him for his picturesque ways
and his quick wit.
But in the earlier stages of his career,
before he became famous, he struck Reno,
then a wide-open town.
HeSentered the principal saloon and dance
hall and walked up to the faro table, where
he stood for a space, studying the layout.
Then, reaching into his pocket he drew
forth a twenty dollar gold piece and tipped
it across the table.
"Whats the notion?" asked the dealer,
surprised but not forgetting to scoop the
benefaction in.
II make mind bets" explained Brown;

Still l don't get you?'
'Smple enough. l made a mental bet of
twenty-five bucks on the queen. She failed
on me and I've just paid you what 1 owe

A few minutes later he slid two gold
pieces over, explaining that he had riskeG
it, covering the ace to take in the king. With
a broad smile the operator of the box ac-
copied the money.
Presently Brown admitted that he had lost
ten on the jack and twenty on the nine
BY now, the dealer was laughing aloud.
But he quit laughing soon.

FACE FACTS
BY H. Addington Bruce

~ NE of the cOmmOnest of mistakes is
J refusal to face unpleasant facts. 1t
~ is a mistake that always has more or
less serious consequences. Sometimes the
consequences are so serious as to involve
grave disturbances of health
Indeed, specialists in the treatment of
nervous and mental disorders are more and
more coming to the belief that many of the
patients who consult them owe their all
ments largely to their unwillingness to face
the unpleasant.
Certainly this is true in not few cases
of so-called nervous breakdown" especially
when the victims are people in their TWEEN
ties or thirties And it is notorious that nu-
merOus young business workers gradually
or suddenly collapse in nervous iIl-health.
Usually this is attributed; by the workers
themselves and by their friends and ac-
quaintances, to overwork. Often it would
be nearer the truth to say that underworld
is the cause.
That is psychological analysis frequently
shows that those VINO break down are peO-
pie whose heart is not in what they are
doing, either because they are naturally i'll
adapted to the work they have chosen, or
because, more commonly, they are more in
terested in play than in work Necessarily
they do their work poorly become subject
to criticism, and are denied promotion.
SO far from facing the unpleasant fact
that they have made a wrong vocation
choice or have adopted wrong attitude
to work, they begin to pity themselves and
fret and worry. From this it is only a step
to nervous iIl-heaIth.
Or instead of collapsing in nervousness,
the failure to face the unpleasant and ac-
knowledge that one is a business Iaggard
because Of mistakes of ones own may have
outcome a growing and dangerous bitter
ness of MIND
In this way many workers, because Of
their extreme irritability, sullenness and
grOuchiness, soon or late make themselves
quite unempIoyable. In this way, too, many
workers degenerate into anti-social agitators
blaming the body polite for the ills they
have brought on themselves by their refusal
to face facts.
Outright INSANITY is at times the ultimate
product Of this miserable self-deception.
Every one has heard of the insanity OF
paranoia. At the root of every case Of
paranoia is a refusal to face facts.
ParanOiacs are essentially people who,
unequal to the demands of daily life. insist
to themselves that they are equal to any
demand. Their repeated failures, which
they cannot deny they explain away by
attribUtng them to the plottings Of per
sons erNious Of their greatness. Thus they
develop their characteristic delusiOns OF
grandeur and Of persecution.
To lessen the occurrence Of paranofa
many medical psychologists nowadays stress
the supreme importance Of early training
designed to habituato To honest and cour-
ageou- confronting Of the UNPLEASANT. Such

ARE YOU BEING BUILT UP
By JOHN CARLYLE

TNAKE a walk this bright afternoon--or
the first, bright afternoon you find
around the outskirts Of this town OF
yours.
What will you be most impressed with?
You will be most impressed with the build
ing up" Of your town. You will see new
houses on the far ends Of new streets.
You will see waste acreage opened to sub
divisions. Sidewalks replace paths. Pave
ments replace mud Dooryards bloom
where meadows were.
Everywhere you look your town gives
ample evidence of being built up. The great
open places Of year before last are full Of
interesting sights and sounds and people.
Surprising you take look al your life
as you take a look at your town.
What do you find? Are YOU being buff
upI Are the waste places and the unculti-
watch spots being made productive? Are
they being made beautiful?
You have heard that the desert shall be
made to blossom like the rose.
Are you working at the desert places OF
your mind and soul so that they shall be
made to blossom like the rose?
We all know self-centered people They
are like towns with good business districts.
They are not built up on the outskirts.
Their sympathies are not broad. They are
not liberal in thought and act. You soon
run off the pavement into the mud.
The building up" is most important Of
all N connection with our future Are
We making our minds beautiful for dwell
ing places in the years 20 come?
Are we cleaning them up and planting
flowers to bloom for old age?
Take walk around the outskirts OF
yourself. See il there is not much work
to be done.

n who will gather at Clarksburg, West
Virginia, tomorrow to apprise their
party's standard-bearer of his nomination,
none will tower more steadily in the coun-
try's regard than United States Senator
Thomas J. Walsh, Of Montana. He will head
the notification committee by virtue of hay
convention at which MIR, Davis was nomi-
mated. The Senator's services in that never
to-be-forgotten assembly would suffice of
themselves to assure him high and last
ing place in the public's esteem Even now,
multitudes of radio listeners the continent
over can hear, in vivid memory, his command
ing voice in speech that stirred the con-
yention to depths of thought as well as of
sentiment, and hear him subsequently ruling
on difficult parliamentary points with a fair
ness and firmness that marked him mas
ter. Through Twenty-Five stressful and fire.
quently turbulent sessions, from June the
twenty-fourth until the small hours of July
the tenth, Senator Walsh presided, without
once losing pose or once FORGETTING the dele
gates warmest good will. Rarely in the
annals of politics has task so exactng, so
arduous and so responsible been so admira-
bly, performed.
While the convention, Served to heighten
his prestige and popularity, it was far from
their beginning. Long ago the West learned
the quality of the man; and ever since the
people of Montana, in 1913, first elected him
to the United States Senate, the nation has
taken wider and wider measure Of his worth.
To him belongs chief credit for the exposure
and prosecution of the oil-land iniquities
But for his keen watchfulness and his in
sistence that justice be done, the probability
is that the corrupt politicians and the rapa-
cious interests by whom the national treas
ure was being plundered would not have
been brought to book. Never since the day
of Grover Cleveland has so heavy a blow
been dealt to federal grsfters or so substan-
honest government as that for which the
people have Senator Walsh to thank
For such an undertaking he was eminently
fitted; for the passion of his public life has
been honest government, and, next to that
progressive government i Liberal of Lib
erals, he has ever stood for the rights of the
rack and file and for the betterment of the
COMMON veal SO it is that in the forth
comfug presidential campaign he will WELD

but throughout the West. 1t is gratifying

Strength Through Climbing

HE steadily rising achievements of
mountain climbers during the last forty
years gives striking evidence Of what
can be done by aspiration and persistence
joined with courage and faith. At the be-
ginning of the period men regarded twenty
one thousand feet as the highest altitude
which. they could reasonably expect to at
tain. Nevertheless, a few hardy spirits kept
pressing on for better record, and were re-
warded after twenty years by height of
twenty-three thousand feet. Five years later
they reached nearly twenty-five thousand
feet; two years ago, twenty-seven thousand
Impossible" elevation of twenty-eight thou
sand feet-almost the top of the world.
This last was achieved by the Mount Ev-
crest expedition of 1924, in which two heroic
climbers Mallory and Irvine, were lost while
trying for the crest Two days before that
fatal adventure Nheir confreres, Colonel Nor
ton and DR.. Somervell, had turned back at
the record altitude of twenty-eight thousand
feet. gasping for breath and with pulse of
one hundred and eighty to the minute. They
were then within eleven hundred and forty
one feet Of the summit Of earth's tallest
mountain Mallory and Irvine were striving
to compass that interval, depending upon
oxygen tanks for breath, when they van
ished, never again to be heard from.
The fact, however, that within genera
ton of mountain climbers, the record has
risen from twenty -one\ thousand to twenty
eight thousand feet encourages the hope that
Everest will be conquered. A wildly SYM
bolic picture of the contest is drawn by the
DISTINGUISHED British scientist, Sir Francis
Younghusband, formerly president of the
Royal Geographical Society. Representing
the mountain as fighting stoutly but blindly
and unscalable rocks, he says: "But she can
not learn by experience she cannot rise to
the occasion. She is opposed by an adyer-
sary who has all these advantages over her.
Man profits by experience, and battling only
increases his spirit. The mountains armor
is seemingly perfect; but man has discovered
one tiny chink, and through it is warily
forcing his way. He finds means to outwit
the mountains allies, and each throw which
he receives only heightens his spirit. He
quickly RECEIVERS himself, and undaunted re-
turns to the battle. While the mountain
forever remains fixed, the spirit of man can
rise higher and higher as the battle de-
mands, and occasion requires. AS man
looks up to the hills and earnestly strives to
attain them his spirit increases
So at last there will be developed within
him, by virtue of continual struggle, the
proves needful for victory The reward
will be not merely the attainment of earth's
highest peak, but the realization of loftier
powers in humanity Thus did the young
gods of Hellas do battle with the earth
bound Titans. Thus mind ceaselessly chal-
lenges matter. Thus Spirit comes more and
more into it's brave and beautiful own.
