A Discussion
: Over IheMah
Jongg Tiles

Are you going to the Nah Jongg

carded two bamboo"
Hadn't thought much about it,"
said the South Wind, punging the dis
carded tile.
We'll, you better begin to think
about it," said the West Wind, drawing
a flower off the wall.
West Wind is a member of the Linly
Helm unit, who is sponsoring the fete.
Why are you so sure we will want
to be among those present." said the
North Wind, and forthwith West Wind
launched upon a nonologue.
ITO begin with, it's going to be the
most gorgeous ball ever given in Bir-
mingham. Can't you exercise your im-
agination a bit and see the Country

sounds from inside that hollow log.
First there was a rafting and rust
ling. Then there was a series Of grunts
and squeaks. These were followed by
growls and snarls. The latter were
from Bobby Coon. He was insisting
that he was going to stay right where
he was and wouldn't move an inch for
any one. Peter clapped one hand over
his mouth to keep from laughing aloud
when he heard that, and he fastened
his eyes, very big and round with
expectation, on the opening in the end
of the hollow log. You see Peter knew
all about that log, and that some one
lived there. That is. what he had tried
to tell Bobby Coon. He could hear
Bobby declaring:
Il won't move a step. not a single
step! You can stay right where you
are until / finish my nap. If you
come any nearer I'll"
Peter did not hear the rest, if in
deed, Bobby finished what he had start

Peter noticed that Bobby's voice seem

of the log than before. Again there
was a grunt and a rafting and rust

Then out of the end of the old log
backed Bobby Coon still growing and
snarling and declaring he wouldn't
move a step. 1t was too funny for
Peter to hold i'll any longer. He had
to laugh. He couldn't help it. Then

Graduation day has also been
wedding day for Bob Carter and
Judith Eames, and within few hours
after the ceremonies they were on their
way west to grow up with the coun-
try. As neither had relatives nor close
friends, there had been no one to ad-
wise or consult, and that a not very
bulky purse would be their only back
ing in a strange country and an I'M
tried enterprise did not occasion I'M
easiness. They had gone through col
lege together, they had health and
youth and each other and what more
they wanted they would get. There
could be no doubt of that.
But somehow the more" came very
slowly, so slowly that Judith sometimes
wondered whether the ship that was
finally to arrive, freighted with the
wherewithal for the comforts and lux
uries they fully expected to have, was
really under way. Only a glance over
the broad acres of the government land
which would some day be theirs, and
the sprinkling of cattle grazing here
and there, treasured her. And just
holding on, while very essential, was
by no means all. The work was stu
pendous. Building house to live in,
providing shelter and corrals for the
stock from timber that must be brought
from the foothills several miles away,
were as nothing compared to the task
of blowing out land and starting al
falfa fields with water carried in
fumes from a torrent that had its
source in the mountain SHOWS.
1t was accomplished, though, the very
year that saw the land really theirs,
and the year of their first roundup.
After that things were easier because
their fear Of failure was gone. They
increased their herds and land holdings
and each season saw greater acreage
in cultivation, but there was no lessen
ing of real twork, which was just as
well, Judith thought, for there were no
possible diversions. Even neighbors
were practically an unknown quantity.
AS for books, they had none. But once
a week one or the other of them rode
to dissection of the trail leading to a

to wonder if a certain young woman
in another state actually earns the
annual salary of 100000 which is

That, as some one once remarked, is

Her earning capacity seems to be
derived from the fact that she pho

no ability to speak of. Nature gave
her a face which adapts itself to the

1000 women in Massachusetts whose
salaries average $11 week have more
ability in the true sense of the word
than the movie actress has. Moreover,
they work harder. The amount of
work they do in a year is probably
more than the movie actress will do in
this: A woman earning $11 a walk
would have to work more than 300
years to earn what the screen star
gets in just a year.
Perhaps there is a moral in this
but IL there is can't quite find it..
Such things are utterly inexplicable

for trying earnestly and honestly to
