herself fiercely. She loved him better
than everything else in the world. To
90 away from him would be anguish.
So strongly did this idea grip her
that, when she was undressed, she
slipped her wrapper on over her night
gown and stole back to her fathers
room.
Very quietly she pushed open the door
and entered. Creeping across the thick
carpet she dropped on her knees at the
side of the bed and laid her cheek
against the numb hand on the outside
cover. Her heart cried out for sign
of recognition from the man for whom
she was working, for whose sake she
was risking so much that she had al
ways considered essential.
ct can never leave you, darling" she
whispered 80 softly that the sound was
not audible. "Never-except for your
own dear sake"

Variety of Interesting Subjects Discussed for Home Read
MORE FOREIGN SHIPPING
AGONY

There is no occasion for surprise
that British and japanese shipping
interests are perturbed over the deci-
sion of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in favor of preferential rail-
road rates for goods carried in Amer
lean bottoms. Anything at all look
ing to upbuilding of the American
merchant marine is bound to perturb
British and japanese and other for
eign shipping interests. They are
pcrturbed by the fact that we have a
merchant marine at all. 1t is true
that when we were spending three bill
lion dollars to build our merchant ships
Britain and allied nations hailed it as
a great and glorious undertaking. But
they needed the ships to help them win
the war. Now that the war is over, it
seems TO be the opinion of our friends
that we should take our three billion
dollars worth Of ships out to sea and
scuttle them. Because we have not
seen fit to make this gigantic sacri-
flee in the cause of international good
will we are a selfish, grasping ma
ton.
Every imaginable sort of weapon
has ben used by foreign shipping in
terests to discourage American ship
ping, even to propaganda which has
led many of our own people to be-
lieve that something has happened to
Americans of this generation which
makes them incompetent TO operate
ships, and that, such being the case, i
would be the part of wisdom to in
trust our foreign commerce wholly to
the more or less tender mercies of
our commercial rivals. On top of this
hocus-pOcus now comes the threat of
retaliation if We dare adjust our rail.
road rates to give American ships a
share of American business.
But on this point our friends are
overreaching themselves bit. The
proposal of the Interstate Commerce
Commission is that reductions in
freight rates under the preferential
plan shall come out of the revenues
of the railroads and shall in no way
affect ocean carrying charges. The
fixing of internal railroad rates is
purely domestic question and is not
affected by the treaty of comerce and
navigation or any other international
agreement. And when it comes to re-
taliation, we should worry! If other
nations want to set out upon such a
venture, in the present state of the
world, we feel quite capable of looking
after our own.-Washingto Evening

Housekeeping a Real Career

ing. on the women. The great ma
jority of women prefer housekeeping
and homemaking TO other careers, but
they get little credit for it."
But. what if woman desires both

was asked.

CONGRESSIONAL FIGHT ON in
MARYLAND MAY DECIDE THE
PRESIDENTIAL RACE OUTCOME

BALTIMORE, Oct. 21--Down in
sleepy southern Maryland where
creaky OK carts rumble snail like
throug Oh the tobacco fields, just as
they did two centuries ago and the
spirit of the Calverts still remains,
there is in progress today fight
for a congressional vote that may
decide the presidency.
Waging that battle are two scions
of the section. They have awaken
ed the old fifth district from the
lethargy that has let so much of
modern civilization slip by unno-
ticed. By pointing out its new inn
portance in nationa1 affairs they
have set the crossroads stores of the
picturesquely named counties of
Anne Arundel, Prince Georges and
st. Marys buzzing with politics.
One of the contestants is
"Marse" Thomas Bracket Reed
Mudd, son of the late Sydney En-
manuel Mudd Sr., Republican ruler
of southern Maryland for three dec
AIDES. The tall, gaunt youth, re-
turned from fight for health in
Arizona to battle for the seat in
congress held by his brother, whose
death a week ago plunged his place
into the presidential equation.
"Marse' Tom Popular
The Democratic contestant is
Samuel Warwick Gambrill whose
family wove much Maryland history.
At 81 this polished banker, lawyer
and tried legislator, who does busi-
ness in Baltimore and lives in old
Howard county, is making the fight
of his life to "redeem the fifth
district for Maryland and perhaps
for the national democracy.
But young "Marse Tom as the
darkics of the district call him., is
proving worthy opponent. For the
name of Mudd is one of conjure
within the fifth district. His faith
er, "Marse' Sydney, during his 16
years in congress, sponsored the new
buildings at the naval academy at
Annapolis and the naval proving
grounds at Indian Head, Md.va
boon to the district-and otherwise
endeared himself to the people.
Only once was the elder Mudd i'll
danger of defeat. That was kwhen
shrewd Democratic leaders PLACED a
man also named Mudd in the field
against him. To make the Republi-
can negroes of the district under
stand the difference, Mudd used the
"Y'' in his first name as symbol.
And word went forth to vote for

yoke' in his name.

CHEESE SOUPS AND
OTHER DISHES ARE
DELICIOUS IN FALL

AT no time of the year are hearty
cheese dishes more welcome than on
snappy fall days. Cheese is now
recognized as substantial food,
not as mere relish, and a number
of luncheon and supper dishes have
been developed which rival Welsh
rarebit in popularity A cheese
soup furnishes food. value enough
for one-dish meal if supplemented
by a salad or fruit.
The simplest way of making
cheese soup is to make thin white
sauce of quart of milk and two
tablespoons each of butter and
flour. A tablespoon of onion juice
and two of chopped parsley are
needed with the cheese to give it a
pleasing flavor. With this amount
of milk threefourths of cup. or
even a whole cup of grated cheese
may be used.
A medium white sauce with as
much as half a cup of cheese TO
cup of milk makes an excellent
sauce to serve with vegetables, va
rious scalloped dishes and cro-
quettes. Minced green pepper ora
pimiento is often used with this.
In Hotel Style
The type of cheese soup usually
served in hotels is made from hot,
well seasoned meat stock with
grated cheese poured over beaten
eggs and served at once. This soup
requires two eggs to quart of
stock and will curdle if allowed to
stand. i..
Cheese souffles, custsrds, ero-
quettes, timbales and combinations
of cheese with potatoes, beans or
other vegetables in loaves make
hearty, substantial meals. Many
of these cheese dishes are very
good served with horseradish
sauce. One made from Il cup of
meat stock thickcned and sea-
soned with a tablespoon of butter,
a tablespoon of flour and two ta-
blespoons of horseradish has Il very
good flavor.
A simple and popular cheese left
over dish is made in the form of /
roulettes. The recipe follows:
Two cups mashed potatoes, one
quarter cup of milk, oncquarter
cup grated cheese, One-half tea
spoon of salt, pepper. Combine the
