Now she had for life a sense of

made a brilliant, flying start.
Chickie was willing, even Neager,
to bet on herself and the out

such a lordly light about them.

She got up early Sunday morn.

y sun down West Third and
through the tunnel. 1t occurred
to her that she would find q
job-and that it would be a
good one. 1t should, of course
three times, you know. for
luck
She walked clear to the TUNNEL
to buy her paper from old Julie.
Julie was friend or ners--tne
only one she had down here.
Julie wasn't there. The con-
ductor who stood at the incline,
selling tickets for the crazy lit
tie car that climbed in an almost
perpendicular path over the tun-
mel, answered Chickie's inquiry:
Julie? Bumped last night by an
automobile-taken to the hos
pital."
Oh. sure! He guessed she was
dead. all right-old bones are
brittle.
',Chickie bought her paper from
a little Mexican boy. She took
the car for Santa Monica because
this was the quietest of all the
beaches and to her the most
beautiful. There was one white
house set in a broad green lawn,
right across the street from the
glorious ocean. There were long
rows of these houses but this
one had an air about itself
possessed and serene. Chickie
always walked past it. She
wondered what sort Of people
lived within and il they always
came out Of an evening to see
the sun plunge redly in the
waters.
AS soon as Wilde saw the
waves he tugged at his leash. He
was ready for a run. Chickie
sat on a stone bench and read
the ads. She kept thinking of
the bulky, gentle old woman,
doubled almost in two-yet
ready to bless the world be-
nignly if an extra penny dropped
to her hand.
There were only three ads call.

her mind what these jobs would
be like-how her days would pass

routine from nine to five, the re-
turn to the boarding house for

orized the letter-she went to
sleep thinking Of it.
She never could be like Mar
tina Blake. Suddenly she said
to herself: I'm have to get
out of here. I can't stand this.
This is awful"
Towards evening she grew calm
err, steely, depressed calm. VIII.
die walked about the room. Every
hour or so he trailed the leash to
her with an inquiring: cover it
yet"
She was wondering to herself:
"Am going to stay here? Am /
going Monday to look for another
JOB? Sundays are terrible"
She was hungry for she had not
eaten since breakfast. Across the
hall Miss Cheesmap sang in
thin, cheerful voice: "Sing me TO
sleep. She was always singing
this and Aloha" 1t occurred to
Chickie that everyone'S life was
empty; everyone carried hunt in
his heart.
They had all left the dining
room when she entered. The din
ner of boiled beef and carrots was
cold. The tapioca pudding was
too thick. She thought of Jennic's
berry tarts-the amber coffee that
was Jennie's pride. She pushed
her plate away.
She wondered suddenly If it
were true; IT,, indeed, she had
nothing to lose-and IL her lie
was a ruined. hopeless thing.
Again the wish to rush out; to
fly from her thoughts seized her.
Wilde shivered with eagerness
as she fastened his leash--no NeX-
ercise for days. High time she
thought Of him! He pulled hard;
she was forced to run. They went
on and on---up hills, reaching the
one on West Third where there
were no houses and she often cat
because 1t reminded her of that
one on Twenty.first, with the city
sweeping out in a curve far be-
low, its light glowing like soft
jewels.
She threw stones aimlessly.
Wilde fetched them. She felt all
stilled with kind of terrible de-
preston. And never had her I'm
certainty been so great and never
the future SO utterly barren.
1t grew dark--a rift of copper
breaking In sky of green Wilde
nosed about near an old tree; lac
made flying excursions down the
block. Chickies thoughts wan-
dered drearily. Was she to let a
contemplate fellow like Luis Lam
arck conquer her? What cow
ard to quit because the fight gets
hard. All very well to talk,
Thoughts!
She was oblivious, kicking stones
idly down the hill. Suddenly she
looked up, hearing step. And it
was just behind her, and before
she could move--a hand touched
her shoulder: Don't be afraid,
my dear"
A deadly chill stole into her
mind-spread about her-taking
from her the power of speech; the
power of motion. Luis Lamarck
stood beside her.
I'm sorry, Miss Bryce. for that
little scene. You didn't under
stand. And lost my head"
His breath came to her family.
1t smelt of wine. She glanced
about furtively, wondering II
Wilde were near. She made no
answer.
Luis said: II thought you UNI

Otherwise, why did you hesitate
and then decide to come? l took
that for your consent. Now

Far off-as though miles away
she heard Wildie's bark. Her
heart shook.

At last the truth is out-Mos-

Daugherty himself admitted it in a

itch for questions, ask:
Did the Russians urge Daugherty
to sell booze permits and thus pile
up a little fortune in graft
Did the Russians urge Daugherty
and his clique to sell pardons to rich
prisoners?
Did the Russians mix Daugherty up
in the aircraft scandal?
Did the Russians tell Daugherty to
sell jobs in the republican admins

Did the Russians tell Daugherty not
to prosecute the war grafters?
Did the Russians organize Daugh-

WALSH HITS
OIL EXPERTS
AS BIASED
Lewis Is Charged With
DeceiUing Committee

WASHINGTON, April 24.-
James o. Lewis, oil engineer o.
Tulsa, Okla, one of the experts
who made an examination of
the geological structure of the
Teapot Dome naval oil reserve
for the Senate oil committee,
today was charged by the COM
mittee members with deception
of the Investigators.
Attacking Lewis testimony
before the committee yesterday
in which he said he considered
the Teapot lease justified on ac-
count of drainage, Senator
Walsh, Montana, declared he
was convinced that Lewis was
biased in favor of the lease be-
fore he made his investigation.
you accepted employment by this
committee to study the Teapot field
and report back whether or not the
lease was advisable in the light of its
geological structure" said Walsh.
I"You were employed under the i'm
preston that you were unbiased"
Walsh produced a letter purporting
to have been written by Lewis and
sent to A. w. Ambrose, former Off
cial of the bureau Of mines, previous
to his employment
"This is an Endorsement OF Secre-
tary Falls action. This shows that
you were rabid supporter of the
lease even before you had studied it
for u.s."
Lewis defended himself with the
statement that every scientific man
has opinions" He also contended the
committee had "misread" the letter II
they accepted Il as an evidence of de-
ception on his part.
Committee Adjourns to Tuesday.
IL was not prejudiced. My report
was entirely impersonal and based on
scientific study"
Lewis and Frederick G. Clapp made
their field Investigations together for
the committee in 1923. Lewis report
ed that the Teapot Dome was being
drained, while Clapp's report stated
there was no drainage because Of a
fault in the geological structure,
After Lewis was excused, the com
mittee adjourned until next Tuesday.

new ARREST
.BARES PANIC
OF BOSSES
alderman Is Taken On
Market Street

The garment bosses are over
stepping themselves in their
frantic efforts to break the
strike of the dressmakers which
is now in its eighth week.
Injunction and arrests do not
daunt the loyal pickets; so the
employers have again resorted
to the arrest of a union official.
Boss Orders Arrest.
Sam Laderman, business agent of
the cloak-makers, was walking on
Market street yesterday morning on
his way to investigate certain griev-
ances in some of the cloak shops.
Nat Ribback, whose shop is at 237
South Market street, was offended by
the sight of an active union man and
pointed him out for arrest to Officer
Patrick Collins, of the States attor-
neys Office. The dick Immediately O.
beyed "his masters Voice" and took
Laderman off to Groves principality
in the Criminal Court building on the
north side.
The detectives questioned Lader-
man and held him several hours. They
tried to indemnity him as the man who
manufacturer Nat Ribback charges
attempted to beat up a scab. The
dicks called in cop who failed to find
Laderman the man he wanted.
After considerable delay and unwar-
ranted holding, Laderman was releas-
ed with the threat that any time the
dicks needed" him. they would get
him at the union headquarters, 1928
West Van Buren, street.
The efforts of the scared bosses and
their obedient slaves of Groves Office
to intimidate union officials and the
fighting garments workers are absurd
ly futile. Their tactics reveal to what
extent the power of the union is felt
by the cringing dress manufacturers
and their slugger hirelings.
More Shops Settling.
More shops have settled during the
last two days; so that after the week
end holidays more than $50 workers
will return to their places with their
just demands granted. All evidence
points to the cracking of the Dress
Manufacturers Association. From
present indications It seems to be an
suspicious moment for the strikers

for the filsering of sewage. A volume
Of between three and four cubic
meters of sewage can be purified
every day for every square meter OF
the surface of the turf. An expert

for more than seven months shows
diminution of efficiency. If larger

Donf Hold Marketable Eoga Too Long

Don'k Hold Marketable Eggs Too Long
The department advises the farmer
who specializes in marketing eggs to
market his product frequently. The
farmer often makes use Of an egg case
In which to keep his eggs and carry
them to market. Sometimes he owns
the case and sometimes 1t is furnished
by the storekeepeT. Often the case
is one holding 80 dozen eggs, and as
there is a tendency to wait until the
case is filled, which takes considerable
time with the average sized flock, be-
fore taking it to market, the quality
Of some Of the eggs will have suffered
appreciably. Fifteen dozen size cases
are also used for this purpose and are
much preferable as they encourage
more frequent marketing.
Another factor which influences the
frequency of marketing is the distance
Of the farm from the village or country
store. The greater the distance, the
less often are the trips made and con-
sequently the less convenient 1t is TO
market eggs frequently.
The department has made investiga-
lions on 80 Kansas farms to discover
how the distance from market In
fuences the frequency Of marketing
eggs. TWenty-six of the farmers sent
their eggs twice a week to market, 81
sent them once week, and 3 only
once in two weeks.
The Monmouth inquirer., 1924-10-02

Nothing but the best qualify of
poultry should be shipped to market,
Only those who ever visited the large
markets know of the enormous amount
Of inferior poultry that is sold, and
which largely affects the prices; yet
there is always demand for that
which is good, and at price above the
regular quotations. Asserting the car
casses before shipping also leads to
better prices. Old roosters, which sell
dom sell at more than half sprice,
should not be in the same boxes or bar
rels with better stock, and to ship poul-
try alive and to have ROSTERS in the
coops with fat hens, is simply to lower
the price Of the hens, as the buyer will
estimate the value by the presence OF

Birds Destroy insects and Weed Seed

Birds Destroy inSeCG9 ana weed SeSQS
How birds which destroy harmful
insects and weed seeds may be useful
to the farmer is described in d new
Farmers Bulletin mo. $500 Of the de-
partment entitled. Some Common
Birds Useful to tho Farmer" The new
publication has 81 pages and 20 illus
trations (not coloredl of the birds de-
scribed.
Whether a bird Is beneficial or in.
furious depends almost entirely on
what 1t eats. says the introduction
to the new bulletin In the case Of
species which are very abundant, or
which feed to some extent on the crops
of the farmer, the question Of their
average diet becomes one of supreme
Importance, and only by stomach ex-
animation can it be satisfactorily solvr
ed. Field observations are at best but
fragmentary and ineonclusiVe and lead
to no final results Birds are often
accused of eating this or that product
of cultivation, when an examination
Of the stomach shows the accusation
to be unfounded. Accordingly, the
Biological Survey has conducted for
some years past a systematic investi-
cation Of the food of those species
which are most common about the
farm and garden.
Within certain limits birds eat the
kind Of food that us most accessible,
especially when their natural food Is
scarce or wanting. Thus they some.
times injure the crops Of the farmer
who has unintentionaily destroyed
their natural food in his improvement
Of swamp or pasture. Most Of the
damage done By birds and complained
OF by farmers and fruit growers arises
from this very cause The berry-bear-
ing shrubs and seed-bearing weeds
have been cleared away, and the birds
have no recourse but to attack the cul-
tivated grain or fruit which have re.
placed their natural food supply. The
great majority of land birds subsist
upon insects during the period Of nest
ing and moulting, and also feed their
young upon them during the first few
weeks. Many species live almost en-
tirely upon insects, taking vegetable
food only when other subsistence fails.
1t Is thus evident that In the course
Of a year birds destroy an incalculable
number of Insects. and it is difficult
to oyerestimate the value Of their
services. in restraining the great tide
of insect life.
In winter. in the northern part of
the county, insects become. scarce or
entirely disappear. Many species of
birds, however, remain during the cold
season and are able to maintain life
by eating vegetable food, as the seeds
of weeds. Here again is another use
fu1 function of birds in destroying
these weed seeds and thereby lessen
ing the growth of the next year.
The new publication discusses the
food habits Of more than so birds in
eastern forms which are represented
In the West by slightly different
species or subspecies, but unless the
food habits differ they are not sep
arately described. Among the popular
birds included are the robin, bluebird,
wren, brown thrasher, catbird, bobo-
link, oriole, crow, cuckee and the
American sparrow.

Blind Boys Football.

Football and many other outdoor
games are played by the blind. certain
changes being made so that in each
game the sense Of hearing takes the
place Of sight.
In football, for instance, tiny bell
is fastened to the ball, end by the
belts tinkle the balls location is de-
ternined.
The blind delight in races Of all
sorts. They do not run towards the
tape. as the seeing do, but toward
bell that Jangles hriskly.
It Is odd to see the blind at their
games They play grayely and they
maintain a profound silence, for IL
they make noise the voices of their
guiding bells could not be heard.
