LETTER FROM SYDNEY CARTON
TO JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT,
CONTINUED


I will tell you my friend, that L
have never in my life been moved to
such an emotional thrill as at. this
ceremony. I found the tears ,un-
ming down my cheeks in rivulets. L
tried to get my handkerchief, but
my hands, were shaking so that I
could not get it. The thought of
that sanity woman putting her boy
into the care of yours was one Of
the most wonderful things have
ever known.
Little Jack bent his head over the
little red-faced animal in his arms
and kissed it, which closed the pro-
ceedings, for the nurse took the
baby from the room.
No, I forgot. AS soon as the boy
was relieved of the baby he crawled
upon the bed beside Leslie and as
his hand caressed her face he kissed
her eyes and hair, and with great
JUNCTION, IT will wuv' little Buddy.

want me to wuv' him"
jack FTcSCOtI, you nSeo AhhhS'
but 1 envy you just the same. Two
men are growing up who will call
you father. Two men will come onto
the worlds battle-ground and fight
a good fight, because they have
called your wife mother"
You, old chap, haven't had very
much to do with it, and what you
have had has made two women quite
unhappy
Leslie is growing more beautiful
every day. For a moment 1 watched
her tonight with her son in her
arms and yours clinging to her knees
and she made for me the picture of
motherhood divine" sgd.
P. ST. am leaving for home to-
morrow. That is a queer mix-up
of young Condon's. Leslie told me
about it. isn't it strange, old chap,
what a woman can do with us? A
bad woman can carry us down to
the nethermost hell. and a good
woman will bear us in her arms UP
to the highest heaven.
You see, am feeling very good
tonight, and I should feel this way,
because for once / have seen the
thing that all the poets have tried
to describe. but without avail. and

know you hope to be in a position to
ask her to marry you. l feel sure
she will be glad to spend more eve
nings at home, and to forego some OF
the pleasures you have given her. II
she is not, you might as well know
it now, because it would be a warn
ing that she is selfish and would
make poor wife for you.

received today.
A young man writes that he is
deeply in love with a girl to whom
he has been paying attentions for q
year. He wants to marry her, but
it's big but-he cannot save any
money, he writes, and he is not will
ing to propose until he is able to
support a wife comfortably.
The reason for his inability to
save, according to the young mans
letter, is his constant expenditure
for gifts, theater tickets, dinners,
etc, for the girl.
II he stops these attentions, he is
afraid he will lose out with the girl.
If he keeps them UP. he postpones
the day he will be in a position to
propose.
His trouble ia not an uncommon
one. II he would face II squarely,
he probably could solve his problem.
Either the girl would be glad to give
up some of the gifts and shows, II
she knew the young man could not
afford them, or she never would do
as his wife anyway.

iIn-L aW Trouble

Dear Miss Lee. have been married
for some time. ! am yet young, but
know what love is, I am, a soldier az
Fort Harrison. My father-in-law. caused
my wife and me to split up. ] dearly
loved her. but she says she does not
love me any more; think ner latner
was married. and she was 10. Please tell
BROKEN-HEARTED FRANK,
1t should not be surprising II the
girl should find she had made a
mistake, after marrying so young.
But If you are certain it's dad, and
not your wife, who is sure, I'd sug-
gest you go to him and have 1t out,
man to man. Tell him how dearly
you love his daughter and how much
you want to try to make her happy.
Find out why he objects to you, and
ask him merely to do what he would
expect to be done for him In similar
circumstances--not to interfere.

ISLE OF PINES GOES
OFFICIALLY TO CUBA

The Isle OF Pines yesterday after.
noon formally and officially became
Cuban territory with exchange OF
ratifications Of the treaty at the
State Department, Secretary Kellogg
and Ambassador Torriente afflxing
their signatures to the document in
behalf of the American and Cuban
governments.
The exchange was made after Am
bassador Torriente had advised the
State Department that his govern
ment had accepted the reservation
and understanding adopted by the
Senate in its resolution of ratifica-
ton.
BY the terms of the treaty the date
of the exchange of ratification brings
the pact into immediate effect with
full recognition Of Cuban sovereignty
over the island by the United States
after a walt Of more than 20 years.
The date is chiefly important be-
cause of its effect on the legal status
of real estate titles in the island, by
placing all under Cuban jurisdiction
There Is no necessity for further for
nralities, since the island has always
been under Cuban administration. and
there are no American FEDERAL agen-
cies to be Withdrawal.

feature of the school curriculum, and
from a utilitarfan rather than a
recreational standpoint.
Favor CIoset-BIackboard.
While in Rochester Mr.. Harris and
DIR. Ballou made a detailed study of
the Miller combination blackboard
and closet such as is now being in
stalled in the new John F. Cook
School in Washington. AS a result,
the superintendent is a stronger ad
vocate than ever for this typeN of
blackboard and its installation in
other District schools is virtually as
sured. The blackboard serves a dual
purpose, and the closet in the rear
saves valuable space now given over
to cloakroom facilities in most
schools.
Double-duty cafeteries, another dis
tinctive feature Of the Rochester
junior high schools, also impressed
DR.. Ballou and MIR. Harris. These
lunchrooms, in the three classroom
units. have a steam table in the CEN
ter. When not used for lunch pur-
poses the center room is shut off by
partitions and the other two rooms
are used as study halls.
Large greenhouses used for the
general science courses are built in
the roofs Of auditorums: band-in-
struction room and washbowls scat
tered throughout the corridors in
stead Of in lavatories are other dis
tinguishing features of the Rochester
junior high schools which interested
the school planners.
The committee observed with sur
prise a total lack of esthetic treat
ment in the Rochester schools, as
we'll as in adequate Fairgrounds, still
keeping in mind the beautiful ap-
proa ches and artistic exterior design
of the schools inspected in Baltimore
and Philadelphia 10 days ago.

REGARDS GASOLINE
COSTS AS UNFAIR
Senator TrammeII Requests
Trade Commission to Inves-
tigate Price-Fixing.

An investigation of the method of
fixing prices of gasoline is requested
in a letter written by Senator Tram
nell of Florida to Chairman Huston
Thompson of the Federal Trade Com
mission. Senator Trammell sought to
have resolution adopted by the Sem
ate directing the commission to max e
such an investigation in view OF the
increases in the price of gasoline dur
ing the Winter. but was unable to
obtain vote on the resolution. He
now asks the commission to make the
investigation on it's own initiative.
senator Trammeu's Letter.
In his letter to'Mr. Thompson, SEN
ator Trammell said:
believing that the rapid increase
in the price of gasoline, kerosene and
crude oil during the month of Feb
ruary and in the early part of March,
OF this year. was warranted and
purely arbitrary and apparently as a
result OF a concerted and combined
scheme on the part of oil producers
and reineres to advance and main
tain much higher prices, l introduced
in the Senate a resolution. a copy Of
an investigation OF the situation by
your commission. Due 20 the APP
preaching adjournment OF the Senate
and the congestion OF business max
ing the time limited. a small num-
Der OF Senators who were opposed
to the resolution were able by OBJ
structive tactics to prevent a vote on
my resolution. In doing so I feel that
the will of large ma jority Of the
Senate was barred from an expression
favorable to the investigation con-
templated by my resolution. I am con-
fident that the investigation would
have been requested by Senate ma
jority had the resolution been per-
mitted to come to a vote.
Asks for Investigation.
In view of the circumstances and
the situation, l respectfully ask your
commission of it's own initiative to
make such investisa ton as called for
in my resolution to ascertain the
methods and practices of the oil pro-
ducers and refineries and as TO
whether or not there exists any COM
bination in violation of and contrary
to the antitrust law. At the present
time II is my opinion that such in
vestigation is highly desirable and
essential in the interest of the con-
sumers of gasoline. kerosene, crude
oil and other petroleum products.

FAITH never LOST,
DR.. PHILLIPS SAYS
Shown In Every Day Living, He
Tells Lenten Worshipers
at Keith's.

Faith in God and Its Meaning
was the text of Rev H. B. Phillips,
rector OF the Church Of the Epiphany,
in a sermon delivered at the midday
Lenten services at Keiths Theater to-
day.
Referring to those who are inclined
TO think of God in the past tense
Dr. Phillips said: What God did He
does, what God was He is and what
He said He still does. God is not a
dying seed. God lives and presides
over the destinies of man"
The speaker pointed cut that God
had left the world practically with
out a prophet, but added that He has
not left Himself without witness
in nature.

costa. They say their father was a
great lover of Nature, although he
did not have the convictions about AL

Interested In Nature.
The young men point out that they
have always been interested in nat
uraI research They decided to put
their ideas as to their religion Of
Nature" into effect about last Au-
gust, and. in line with these ideas,
they began to let their hair and
boards grow about that time.
They assert that this does not mean
that they may not later change their
views about cutting the hair, but so
long as they have their present con-
victions they see no reason for in
terfering with the natural growth OF
their hair Neither do they feel that
they should adopt any radical form
of dress, but rather believe in dress
ing simply and in good taste. We
might even see At to wear formal
evening dress should an occasion re-

Engaged In Studies.
The twins are not now actively en-
gagged in any occupation, devoting
their time and energies to philosophy
cal studies, particularly to the phi
losophy Of the Bible. They are not
members OF any church. although
they were baptized Lutherans and
have since attended other churches.
If they meet persons or groups or
nersons who wish to learn more or
their religious beliefs, they are per
fectly willing to tell all about them.
They say their views are entirely
their own, although they add that
thew met a man some time ago, with
long hair. who believed much as they
do. He was not a member of the
House of David, they stress.

old lived whether any one else

the way the young men sum up their
creed. I'VE believe in eating natural
foods. because three-fourths of the
IFS of man come from eating dena-
tured products. We also abstain from
the use of tobacco in any form, be-
cause we consider its use out of keep

Christ. Paul said: 'Glorify God IN

SINCLAIR OIL GRANT
IS VO|DEDBY SOVIET
Contended Company Failed
to Carry Out Contract in
SakhaIien Island.
By the Associated PresH.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW. March 24.-The conces-
sion on the island OF sakhalien grant
ed to the Sinclair oil interests by the
Soviet authorities was annulled today
by the Soviet Court, which has been
hearing the governments annullment
plea The court directed the govern
ment to return to the American COM
pany the 100000 rubIe. guaranty it
had deposited.
Suit for the annullment Of the SIN
clair oil concession in Sakhalien was
started by the Soviet government last
month 1t contended the Sinclair
company had failed to carry out the
terms Of its agreement with the
government within the specified time,
and that the move for abrogation
was not prompted by the conclusion
of the Russo-Japsnese treaty, which
promised adjustment OF the dispute
between the two governments over
their respective rights on the island,
the southern half Of which belongs TO
Japan and the northern to Russia.
The Japanese, in fact, have been
occupying the whole of the island
and the Sinclair companS's claim was
that it's representatives, on this &C
count, found it impossible to proceed
with the development for which 1t
held the Soviet concession.
