receives

no direct federal appropriation.
The Governor is very mild and conser-
vatiye in his statements, obviously be-
cause he does not wish to express an OPT
Mon as to the merits of the bill itself.
We have had time to do no more than
glance over the bill, but no more is neces-
sary to cause US to stand appalled, at the
thought OF the consequences which would
ensue if it should ever happen to be
enacted into law.
The first outstanding thought which
occurs is this The Organic Act Of March
8, 1917, providing for a TEN 9orary gov
eminent for the Virgin Islands among
its other temporary provisions provided
for an appropriation Of SlOC, 00O from
the Federal Treasury for the purpose of
providing for such temporary form OF
government.
Each year a similar appropriation has
been made in a greater amount, and
these appropriations have been almost en-
tirely used in building up the public
school systems Of the islands, in main
tanning the excellent hosplta facilities
which we now enjoy and IN various other
ways contributing directly to the health,
comfort and well-being Of the popula-
ton generally.

including the Governor, assigned by the
Navy Department to fill civil positions
under the Government of the Virgin
Islands, are paid from Navy appropria-
tions and not from either the Federal
appropriation for the Virgin Islands or
from the revenues thereof.
The annual average OF the appropria-
tions Which have been made during the
past seven years from the Federal Con-
gress for the Virgin Islands is $500, 600,
90. The salaries Of the naval officers
performing civil duty may be moderately
estimated at SIS, 600. 90 more.
Therefore. The Federal Government is
actually contributing at present not less
than 1915. 900. co towards the Tell-being
of these islands. Roughly, on this basis
the Federal Government contributes 5OTo
towards the total operating expenses OF
the Government OF the Virgin l%slanes,
and the remaining 5CW Is obtained
through taxation.
This financial assistance rendered by
the Federal Government to TIE Virgin Is
lands must be considered just+as tempo
rary as the formsot government provided
by the Organic Act.
1t is not to be supposed for one mo-
ment that when Congress provides a per
manent form Of government for the Vlr-
gin Islands, it will be willing to continue
the temporary financial aid which 1t now
provides. There is no logical reason for
bol;ov;pr OtbarmiCn
, 1924-04-03
is the certainty that the Federal none
tary aid will be withdrawn.
Ito be concluded.)

For years superstition existed in the family of Martin Finken that giant oak in frontof the Finken house in New York state would bring a mishap to the family. Recently it was deter mined to cut the tree down, and while Harry Finken was hewing at it with an axe, the tree fell with crash and killed him. Was it a coincidence, a happen-so do you think, or was it foreordained?

HEALTH OF THE MIND

Health of the mind and health oi the body are bound together in a strong union. The healthy mind car do wonders for the physical body. Il determines what intellectual feats car be entered into without undue exer. ton or serious strain upon our physi. cal constitutions.
 Mental hygiene is responsible for certain bodily conditions, which are the outgrowth of anger. g.ouchiness lack Of ability to appl ones self to industrious habits and loss Of respect for life's success.
 If mental hygiene can determine ones emotional and intellectual ca pacities. we have Il most interesting problem in the health of the physical body.
 If you allow certain occurrences 10 influence or upset your mental poisc, producing worry, poor digestion, lack of proper sleep, irritabiIity and false ideas in sizing up or judging others, you arc starting your physi- cal body down hill at d rapid pace. Loss of weight through these emo- tional tendencies will cause d great letup in your strength and working power and you are dangerously near the rocks Of physical breakdown.
 In adjusting the individual through mental hygiene. to n better environ- men and happier state of affairs, one 1t without doubt increasing his usefulness and physical fitness to d marked degree.
 The human race is slowly learning that a poor mind will cause the body to 20 wrong and that health of the mind is the true factor Of success in producing a healthy body.

Mrs. Bird Was Thorough in Her
 Cross-ExaminatiOn

CrOsS-ENaninatioh
 My answer to Mrs. Birds questions was prompt.
 Just as we were turning in at the gate mounted policeman passed up and slowed down rather abruptly. He did not stop, but my brother-in- law told me that he looked searching ly st our license plate"
 ''pid he get your number?' Mrs. Bird queried crisply.
 My hrother-in-la thought so,' I replied.
 'of course, he might have been looking for speederS who had es- caped," she said thoushtfully.
 That is what Dr. Braithwaite said," I interposed.
 And then, again, he might not, she retorted, a trifie tartly. Well, at any rate, I'll know by tonight whether or not there's any inquiry out for the children in police circles. I have a brother on the force. In the meantime-when does their ship sail?"
 Day after tomorrow"
 She made a clicking little noise with her teeth, expressive of eX- treme disapprobation.
 ''Too long a time to wait for this sort of thing" she commented. Any especial reason for taking this particu- lar boat?"
 Don't Misunderstood Me"
 "I do not think so," l returned. "I fancy Mrs. Underwood thought it was the earliest one they could get
 Perhaps it is," she hedged in- stantly--Lillian's name evidently was an effective stop to criticism-"but it will do no hurt to make a few in- quiries and if there should be a chance to get passage on ship leav- ing tomorrow, or even tonight, l be- lieve 1t would be a good thing to take it."
 l suppose my face reflected my startled dismay at the uneasiness which thought must be behind her haste to get us off. for she shot a shrewd look at me.
 Don't misunderstood me- she said, T haven't any especial reason for fearing any interruption 10 your plans, but long experience in getting people out Of tight places has made me wary of any unnecessary delay. Another thing. Have you anything to do--shopping, for instance--beforc you sail?"
 q am not sailing I explained, but l had planned to take the cbil. dren into the New York shops and provide them with suitable clothing for the trip. They were brought from home with insufficient outiits because of the haste in getting them away"
 Her face darkened as I spoke, and when she replied her voice held crisp decision.
 Another Shopping Tour
 Mrs. Graham, 1 do not wish to dictate to you, but Mrs. Underwood has sent you to me, and expects mo to put through the delicate busi. ness of getting you away from here. IT do it l must have my own way--to speak plainly--about the movements Of your party"
 "Of course" l interposed hastily. We have no other thought. gather that you do not think 1t wise for the children to go to New York"
 Absolutely not" she returned.

is a riot down there about n plague stricken house which has been broker open, and the pestilence is being scattered 10 the four winds. Yol cannot go this way"
 "whither would you go?" the man lasked him.
 "To Salisbury Court"
 Why, that is my way. You must go round by the Fleet Ditch, as must. Come, follow me-" And hc went ahead briskly down Fleet Street
 The chair resumed its way in the altered direction. Miss Farquharson had leaned forward when it halted to hear what was said.
 She sat back again with little sigh Of weariness, and in silence suf- fcrej herself to be borne along.
 But when they came to the Fleet Ditch, instead Of turning to the right her bearers kept straight on, follow ing ever in the wake of that tall cloaked man who had offered to con duct them. They were halfway over the bridge before Miss farquharson became aware of what was happening. When the chair suddenly turned Co the left in the direction of Isaynard's Castle, her bcwilderment suddenly re- doubled.
 Nathaniel" she called shrilly, leaning forward, and vainly seeking to grasp the shoulder just beyond her reach. Nathaniel or was it someone else? There was something sinister ly purposeful in the stolid manner in which the fellow plodded on uphced- ing. The tall man ahead who led them, little more than dark outline now, had slackened his step, 50 that the chair was rapidly overriding him.
 She attempted to rise. to force up the roof of the chair, to thrust open the apron in front of her. But neither yielded to her cxertions. She yielded to terror and her screams for help awoke the silent echoes of the street. The tall man halted, turned, rapped out an oath, and authorita- lively commanded the men to set down. But even as he issued the order the fiale of a link suddenly made its appearance at the corner of Panl's Chains, and in the ring of yellow light it cast they could dis cern the black outlines of three or four moving figures.
 "on. On!" Holes bade the chair r en curtly, and himself went for ward again, the chair now following with Miss Farquharson steadily for help and beating frenziediy upon roof and apron.
 She. too. had seen those Heaven sent rescuers rushing swiftly to meet them.
 They were a party Of three gentle men lighted by a link-boy. on their tomeward way. They were young and adventurous. as it chanced, and very ready to bare their blades in de- fanse of q lady in distress.
 Eut it happened that this was for which Holles was fully prepared. one, indeed, which he ronld not have left out Of his calcu- ations.
