"Now it strikes me that the
real name is right under our noses,
yet we have never seen it. This
is my suggestion-the Griffins.
"You see, of course, it comes
from the right root, Mr.. Clark
Griffith, and in addition seems
most appropriate, if you. will turn
to your dictionary and see that
the griffin (or 'griffon,' if you
prefer was a mythical animal

ance and scaling Of the heights

Household Hints

If the wick Of a candle burns
out or collapses push in a match
long enough to reach the bottom
and show about an eighth of an
inch above the wax. Light this,
and it will last as long as there
is wax.
A sharpening steel which has
become greasy should be soaked
in turpentine, then in strong soda
and water. The steel must be
kept clean or it will not act as a
sharpener.
When boiling puddings, make a
pleat in the cloth to allow room
for swelling, and see that molds
and basins are we'll buttered.

IDEALS THE
BIG ASSET

Subjects.

- REATER than money or
any other valued material
~ possession, or any family
relationship, as an asset for your
boy and girl, are the ideals of
high achievement which they
may hold too persistently regard
ing their future. This point has
been well proved by inquiry into
the lives Of many successful men
and women.
For example, there are twenty
five railroad presidents in office
today, receiving salaries of $780,
900 or more each, who were of
the class Of youthful idealists.
They all began early as laborers
or low salaried employees and
worked toward the realization of
vision.
"Of course I did not know
twenty-five years ago that I was
to become president of the road"
one of these said to an inter.
viewer, ''but 1 kept my mind set
far in advance Of the thing then
being done and worked hard.
Whenever a goal was reached,
simply put up another one as
far in advance as the first"
II set my mind far in ad-
vance and worked hard" This
line tells the whole story. 1t is
exactly the length of the usual
ten-word paid telegram. Now,

powerful affirmation for your

EER AYBE with you Nello

he shall be one darn

Laughing nischievously, Rosa
leaned back as If she'd said it all.
But with a breathless realization
that If I'd heard Alright both Jim
and Ralph were wrong and
neither Jim's business nor mine
was in danger, i asked:
''You mean it's a relief to have
young Ortiz busy so he won't
bother you too much?" And
lamely added: II thought I
might bedding every one con-
cerned a good turn"
Rosa's eyes blazed into mine.
Breathlessly waited for the
answer which hoped would give
me a glimpse of the real Rosa
Cordova.
"You shall keep Nello busy"
purred Rosa, leaning across the
luncheon table and curving her
lips to warmth she spoke. "F'or

Lilac. You shall not-how you
say-back down. So we make to
do the team works-not!
She sighed dramatically. Her
lips were soft, but there was a
mocking light in her eyes. !

we do "team work" wasn't al
most too much for Rosa's sense
of humor. But replied with the
utmost seriousness:
do you think for one moment
that I could make young Manuelo
forget. you, even if were to try
ever so hard?"
"Why not?" smiled Rosa. Els
It not young and beautiful you
are and most charming?"
There was an edge on her
voice, but 1 refused to be cut. In
stead, I seized upon the oppor-
tunity to try to get some part Of
the truth from Rosa by returning
1lattery for flattery.
I'm glad to, hear you call me
charming. Praise from Caesar Is ;
praise indeed, you know. And
I've never seen a woman who
had more influence over real
men. Jim backs your Judgment
against the world. Your Ramon
adores you as you know. And
young Manuelo's queen can do no
wrong. No woman can get such
univarsal admiration unless she
merits it."
Rosa smiled complacently.
"Then you maybe admire me,
White Lilac?"
''I do. I think you've a hair
trigger mind. I'm sure I've never
known a woman who could think
faster and more to the point"
Rosa purred as she smiled back
at me:
"Why is it, then, you do not

ment. But I knew better than to
deny the charge and ignore the
