-Discussing delinquency and its
rapid increase in the United States.
Mrs. Nina Van Wrinkle of Wash
ington, president of the international
Association of PoliCewomen. today
said that the American parents are
wholly responsible for the 'deplorable
conditions existing today"
Parents who make no attractive
home life for their children are
directly and wholly responsible for
their delinquency" Mrs. Van Wrinkle
said. There must be home life and
there must be spiritual life for our
children of today. The church must
be made more attractive, dealing with
problems of today, rather than pic
lures of the hereafter. Otherwise it
will remain with the boys and girls
of today to find for themselves the
error of their actions and prepare
their own children properly

the dog leaping after 1t. She shud-

Yet she was more at peace here
than she had been In many, many

little town five miles distant, Civ

call here for her mail She dismissed
this. In a small town she would
soon be known-they would find
out where she was staying-a dozen
explanations necessary
Finally she made a trip to Ian

so that Jonathan and Jennie, ia.

This was a young girl. Miss
Wreden-quiet, serious and enor-
mously flattered with Chickie's at
tention. Chickie remained at the
hotel several days. She took Miss
Wreden to lunch-went shopping
and helped the girl select a dress.
She had found staunch admirer.
She decided to trust the girl. 1t was
| the only chance she saw.
One day she said laughing, and
in a very off-hand manner; Can
you keep a secret. Dorothy?"
The girl answered with a flush of
pleasure: Yes"
Then I'm going to tell you what
only you and two or three others
know l happen to be married. My
name Is Mrs. John Clayton but I'm
keeping 1t dark. There are reasons

of this open life; the Joy of living;
and the interesting things about

little fellows we're so cute and clean.
Folding these bright, sparkling
receptions into their envelopes she
had a spent, exhausted feeling. She
would gaze out to the far hills.

end they would fail.
Whenever this fear seized her.
she walked. She wore herself out
with these walkings. Once she
stopped suddenly and said aloud
"Christmas-I'll be away from them

breathe.
Often now she sat DULY near the

She held herself in a stony apathy

BY that she meant when 1t was over
and the child was born. She hit
her lips together. her eyes on fire.
She prayed with a low, frantic
leading, "Oh, Lord Cod"
She would fancy that she was to
die and the child would die, too.
She hoped for this. She looked into
the water steadfastly and murmured
brokenly: "Oh, OH"
In colder moments she was GER
tain that this escape would not be
hers. Not would be relentless.
She must face 1t to the bitterest
fullness. She lay awake at night
and went through imaginary CONVEX
sations with Mrs. Robbins Perhaps
she could leave it here ana come up
every weekend.
But she was never certain of
Agner Robbins. The woman petted
her, followed her about-hungry for
companionship. When Chickie had
been there three weeks they sat on
the porch one evening. A crimson
glow set the pale beauty Of the hills
in flame.
This is the best time of the
twenty-four hours We should sleep
in the day and live by night" Agnes
Robbins began. Then she told Of
experiences in her theatrical career

but cardboard boxes. and the strange
comedies and tragedies that went
on and were overheard behind these
paper walls. She talked-she had a
rich. tunultuous past. Suddenly

There are seven trees on the Uni
versity campus. The trustees desire
to build a number of straight drives
which will separate the trees, form
ing seven distinct lots. What is the
fewest number of roads that can be
built, and where will they be placed?
Last puzzle answer:
The second shot was 100 yards;
third shot 10 per cent less or SO per
cent of 100 yards equals IS yards;
first drive was IS plus 100 plus 100
equals 285 yards. 2S5 plus IS plus

(Juneau Empire

The people of Alaska should use all the disuasion possible to change the determination of the Postofffice de- partment to ship mail from the States to Alaska as ordinary freight instead of under the mail carrier contracts now in force. Under the system ill vogue now mail is carried in special apartments arranged for that purpose. It is discharged from the mail carriers before baggage or any freight is discharged and it is the last thing taken aboard a steam CT before she sails. There are mail clerks on each of the carriers and the mail is sorted and prepared in tansit for rapid distribution when destination is reached.
 There was some excuse during the war when all were giving until it hurt" for the action of the Depart ment in shipping mail as freight in order to hold down the cost but good business demands that when possible the government should give the people the best possible mail service. That cannot be done if the present efficient method should be changed so that mail will be ship ped like general merchandise. The pressure for economy is not so great that this very important govern mental function should be permitted to fall down.

KAROLYI AGAIN PULLS ON
 AMERICAN LATCH STRINGS

WASHINGTON-The State De- partment again took up its battle against the Austrian Count karolyi when they denied his wife, Countess Karolyi, permission to visit the Uni ted States on a lecture tour. The Count is a former President of the Hungarian Republic. The refusal was based upon a law prohibiting persons known to be revolutionary in political philosophy entry to the United States.
 This refusal brings to mind the Counts visit to the United States last spring when he responded to an urgent call to his wife's bedside, who had become dangerously i'll while visiting with friends in this country. The Count was admitted at that instance by the State De- partment only upon the understand ing that he maintain strict silence within American boundaries. To this the Ex-President of Hungary assented, but returning with his wife via Canada he confded his m oeSSape to newsna 0er porreSDond- ents who followed him across the border.
