Forbes, in his financial column
in the Hearst dailies hands the
nominee this left-handed com
pliment:
At least this much can be said
for the Democrats Presidential
choice: The nomination will be
perfectly acceptable to business.

tremendously honoring the memory
of Ben Kenton of London, who
died in 1880.
Ben is one of the immortals, to
lovers of milder forms of firewater.
He discovered the method Of bottl-

 But, George" protested Chuck, i've don't go in for elaborate eats. Genevra just packs up some eggs and bacon and we cook them on bonfire, and we make coffee and have doughnuts or something"
 ''This time Mrs. Hughson is not to pack or cook anything. It's her day, and she isn't to do any work. Please let me take the responsibility" insisted George in his generous way.

 Two popular young visitors inspired a beautiful hospitality yesterday after- noon when Miss Anna McLester, the lovely daughter of Dr. and Mrs. James McLester, entertained at bridge in hon. or of Miss Evelyn Landon of Cleve- land, visiting Miss Alexandra London, and Miss Anne Gaylor of Washington, D. C., who is being cordially greeted as the guest of her grandmother, Mrs. David Roberts.
 Miss Gaylor's mother will be recalled as the lovely Anne Roberts. She was one of the most popular members of Birmingham's fashionable set before her marriage, which took her to another city to live. The bridge party yesterday assembled sixteen members>of the young society set, who enjoyed several games of cards, after which a delicious salad and ice. course was served.

CHAPTER 171

CHAPTER 171 | NNHE minister drew his brows to- | gether in a frown of displeasure It was too dark for the girl to see this, but she derived satisfaction from the ring of disapproval in his voice.
 II am surprised that a man who calls himself a gentleman would be party to procuring such position for decent girl i"- he exclaimed. "I never did have much respect for that young man, and 1 have less now than ever. Your sister may not know the world and it's ways, but he does. And it is her reputation and not his that has been imperiled. Under the circum- stances 1 cannot quite understand how she could bring herself to let him drive her home last night"
 "She does not look at things as l do," Lois reminded him. Marian is very modern"
 "She does not look at things as we dO," Sumner corrected.
 The personal pronoun brought . throb of joy to Lois heart. She had won this man over to her way of thinking. Surely, he would never let Marian make fool of him again!
 Wont you come in!" she suggested W1en uL 1dSL they ICuCACN tAC 6ubC OA the Horton home.
 Sumner paused doubtfully, glancing at the shadows. His companion inter rupted the glance.
 'The living room lights are out" she commented, which means that Marian has gone upstairs. She told me she was going to bed early when 1 sug- gested her coming to church with me" |"
 "She has not been to church at all today" the minister observed. II should think she would have felt like going after all she has been through"
 Here was a chance to seem loyal to Marian. Lois would take advantage of it and of another that presented it. self.
 "You misjudge her," the soft voice pleaded. "She did go to church this afternoon"
 '1This afternoon p Sumner echoed ''But we had no afternoon service-ex- cept the Christian EndeavOr meeting. And she was not at that" 'Oh, no-she went to the Episcopal church-Saint Stephens" the, girl ex- plained.
 ''To Saint Stephen's"
 The exclamation was brief, but it conveyed chagrin and, perhaps, wounded vanity. At all events, LoisP was sat isfied at the result of her bit of informa- | tion.
 "Won't you come in for a little while?" she suggested again timidly.
 The man smiled down at her. II will if you are sure it is not too late" :" he said gently. '"The fire on your hearth, and the warmth of your friend- ship are always most grateful to me-.

Any chemist will tell you that cook. ing is an exact scientific process. Put certain ingredients together, subject them to certain degrees of heat or cold for a certain length of time, and the same results will be obtained.
 A woman never speaks of her cook ing in that tone of voice. If her bread is light, she doesn't attribute it to her skill, nor does she blame herself for Il laundering incompetent if her rolls are heavy. She merely says she had good luck or bad luck with her bread, and lets it so at that
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-04

When a woman goes into busi- ness she. seldom thinks it worth while to take account of her talent, and see what nature fitted her to do. Still less does she think it worthwhile to prepare herself thor oughly for some occupation so that she may be competent to earn good salary instead of being forced to take starvation wage.
 Ehe believes that whether she succeeds or fails is just matter of luck.
 And so she drifts into the first open ing that she sees, and does her work without enthusiasm or energy or intel ligence, and bemOans her bad luck be- cause she never gets further than the bottom rung of the ladder. She envies the good luck of the woman who is boosted up to the top.
 But it never occurs to her that hard work and being always on the job, and coming little. earlier and staying a little later. and keeping your mind concentrated on the work in hand, in- stead of on dates with boys, have any II thing to do with success or failure. It is just luck.
 When women marry they trust their fate implicitly to luck. A girl will deliberately marry gambler or a rounder. She will pick out man for husband that she knows to be stingy and selfish and high tempered, and trust to luck that the marriage ceremony will work some sort of metamorphosis in him that will change him into an en- tirely different kind of character. When this miracle fails to material. ize she doesn't blame her own folly for being tied for life to a set, or having q faithless husband, or having to spend her days with one who is utterly un- cOngenial to her. No. She planes it all on her bad luck.
 Women attribute the results of \ marriage also to luck. Apparently it never occurs to them that brides fate is in her own hands and that she can make her mar riage success--that if she is ten- der and loving and patient and req sonable she can almost always make happy home and hold her hus- bands affections.
 No. She burns few more joss sticks before her god, and trusts that luck will keep her husband in spite of nagging and extravaganza and bad housekeeping.
 Saddest of all, women trust their ehildren's fate to luck. How often you hear q sad mother say, T have had such bad luck, I have lost three of my babies, when you know it was not luck; it was unsterilized milk bottles How often you hear the mother of way ward sons and daughters say that they have had bad luck with their children, when it isn't luck at all it is just the logical result of lack of control and foolish indulgence of the youngsters.
 What a pity that there isn't some sort of missionary society to wean women away from the wor- ship of their Great God Luck.

The Fourth Of July

nN July Fourth, 1903, four hundred
 and sixty-six people were killed
 and three thousand, six hundred and seventy-nin for injured in the United States A total of over four thousand deaths and injuries. A great many important battles didn't have the disastrous effect that the celebration" " of this single day had. Of all those in. jured about one-half were toy pistol victims. Four hundred and six deaths were the result of tetanus from the use of toy pistols.
 On the Fourth of July, 1923, there were twenty three deaths and about one hundred injuries.
 We women are largely responsible for the enormous lowering of the death rate and injuries. Most of the boys and girls and grown-ups who were victims of accidents were attended by women. We dressed their wounds and took care of them. ..
 We wrote letters to newspapers com plaining against the dangers of fire crackers and firearms and the insuffer- able noise. We objected to having our small children return home with a finger blown off, an eye damaged or en- tirely destroyed, an arm scared or burnt, leg crippled or any one of the horrible accidents that occurred as a result of an unexpected explosion.
 We spent the day in a nervous appre- hension of what might happen. Per. haps we had passed a restless night, for often the rattle and din started on the previous night. There was prac- tically no use trying to sleep after 4 o'clock in the morning.
 There is law now prohibiting the use of firecrackers in the United States and Canada. The law is much better enforced in Canada. Any woman who
