 ''That brown hair might have golden glints in the sunlight" he unused. He gipped one wrist with the other full hand. sailor fashion, leaned his head back against the chair top. and blew smoke about his head until he saw nothing of the room at all. Then he could form pictures. It was an old trick of his. He saw quite sharply clear the pie ture of those fat old nags hauling that fat little low chariot. And the copper-bronze leathery face of the old gentleman with the gray whisk- CTS "A seaman, that" he decided. Tho face of the girl was not quite clear cut. He purposely permitted that vision to remain vague. He wanted to put in something of his own there. But he started with her brown hair, which might hold gold en glints.
 His picture stopped short of the ears. But her eyes had been blue. He vividly recalled how frostily blue they had been; like the clear blue of an iceberg in shadow. They were shadowed with anger, but he knew they would be gloriously blue, with oceans own blue, when fat old horses and human events went placidly. How we'll that deep blue would go with her color!
 At seven o'clock he was dressed and ready to go down. He knew his guests we're arriving. But on his way down he entered his den again. He felt uncomfortable. He never liked entertaining, but never before had his dislike taken the bitter turn it seemed to have taken now. He felt as if he simply could not play host, even to save reputation for courteous hospitality. He loaded up his pipe again, flung wide the east ern window, and stood puffing quick little smoke balls out into the night. There was a suggestion of fog creep ing up from the river. The street lights, and the lamps of moving ve- hicles were blurred and yellow. There was a tang in the air. too. A vague, salty tang.

 If sleeplessness is caused by men, tai overwork sleep can be induced by doing the following exercises 50 times:
 Stand erect, rise slowly from the heels and descend slowly. This causes the blood vessels of the lower limbs to congest, relieving the brain of the excess blood.

The Tramp Calls Madge "Some
 Stage Aianagcr,u


 For second or two the myste- rlous tramp who had called my mother-in-aw "Mether" and re- ferred to my husband as his broth err gazed steadily at me. He was evidently speculaung as to the truth of the threat had uttered. Then he took menacing step toward us.
 'I'll just call that little bluff of yours" he said, and the words were e snarl.
 l had anticipated both his words and his movement by stepping back ward, taxing my mother-in-law with me. We moved until we were close against the wall of evergreen be- hind which ] knew Lee Chow was crouching. Suddenly a yellow arm, strong and supple, shot out from the thicket and the hand closed like a wise upon the wrist of the man, who was pressing toward us with a dancing step and an evil grin.
 l have never seen a more ludi- crous change in a countenance than l beheld in the face of our tor mentor Every vestige of bravado vanished. In its place there crept Into his face an expression of amazement, terror and something else, which I interpreted as despera- tion. The latter made me halt in my purpose of turning him over to Lee Chow for disposal as the Oriental might see fit.
 The Ruse Succeeds
 If the man were. really desperate, really in great need, there was grave danger of his carrying out the threat le had made. It seemed quite possible that he might try to bring disgrace upon the family by getting himself arrested in man. ner that would court publicity. That he was relative, as he represented himself to be, I had grave doubts, although Mother Graham had re- cognizel him and called him Steve" There were enough shoals opening out before my imagination 10 bid me be wary in charting my course. Therefore, with a swift, fur tive glance at my mother-in-law, I nodded toward the thicket.
 You see?" l demanded. "Or do you need further proof that I am speaking the truth?"
 T see, an I cave as far as taking the money away from you is con cerned," the man snarled.
 Very we'll" I returned evenly. Tell your companion to go away

 You see my dear, I have never had any relatives, consequently I can never see just why two people, because they belong to the same family, must be friends even while insulting each other.
 You can understand this when you think of my mother and me, Leslie. You know that we are not friends
 By the way, Leslie, speaking of mother, I had scorching letter from her the other day. The world is all out of joint with her.

NEED BUSINESS METHODS
London Must Adopt New Methods of Getting Funds For Charities of Society.

London June 5. (AP)-There has heenf such slump in the net re- ceipts from charity functions, balls, tea dances and concerts given by society folk. that an effort is being made toward proper organization. Ky this means 1t is hoped hitherto ridiculous expenses will be wiped out and good profits made for the various deserving charities for which the particular functions are given.
 In 2 recent case ball committee paid out S1,5o0 for expenses, and everybody enjoyed themselves danc- Ing, but the charity got only S250. All this is to cease, and the man agement of affairs has been placed in the hands of Mrs. Frank Braham, 3 well known society woman. Her dances are among the most popular In London. Mrs. Braham intends getting to work first on obtaining royal patronage, then forming g good hardworking committee of women. after which she expects the rest to be comparatively easy and also profitable.

HOUSES STRONGER IN TORNADO ZONE We'll Built Structures Would
 Save Lives

Champaign, H.. June 5 (AP)- If engineering science were applied | to the design and construction of dwellings and school houses they could easily and ineNpensiyely be made proof against the devastation ct tornaloes such as recently visited the n>e middle western states, aC- rording to '. C. Williams, head of tho department of civil engineering Of the University of Illinois
 Even frame and stuCCo houses can he built sufficiently strong 10 with stand the force of tornado. Mir. Williams said The stresses in a frame dwelling due to wind are call ,ulable at all critical points and the strength Of timber and the holding power of nails are well known, SO tha entire structure admits of scien- rtifi, design comparable with rtvet- d steel building,
 That dwellings,, school houses and churches readily collapse under such storm Is due to the fact hat the design and details Of fram- ing, anchorage and ties have been left entirely 10 the tradesman, who has little knowledege Of the charac- ter of stresses set Up inside the structure that he is building" Mr, Williams declared. He merely erscts one part on top of another, with toe-nails at best, like A pile of childs blocks. and when the wind comes the pile offers very little re- sistance to the destructive force.
 Even architects have been en- crossed In the appearance and con yanience of dwellings to the exclu- sion of careful thought to the sta hility. They have unfortunately ac- cepted the tradesman's framing and details.
 '"A study Of the design of q frame dwelling shows that a well sheathed house of average size can be made proof against a tornado at an ex- penditure of less than one per cent Of the total cost of the house,
 Man is continually combating the destructive elements of nature. Medical science has largely removed the scourges of disease. Tornados are no more a visitation of provi- derce to which man must supinely submit than were the plaques of the Middle Ages. Engineering science, is applied to the design and con- struction of such buildings as dwell . ing and school houses. Is amply able to protect human life from whole sale destruction by wind and the failure to take advantage of this fact in the conservation of human life is 3 relic of moral inertia fitting the age of smallpox and the black death"

CAN ALL AUTOMOBILE BE
MapE TnIEE PROOF
by ERWIN GREER
president Greer College OF
AutOmOtIve Engine erimg)


The automoile thief is doing a
big business Of late, and the police
records show q large increase over
that Of last year. How then, can
the car manufacturer bring out a
more or less standardized anti
thief contrivanee that will really
prevent car from being stolen,
and what will be the characteristics
of this perfect lock?
The motorist Of today needs badly
contrivance that can be locked or
unlocked from the car seat by the
driver, or else something that will
automatically remind the driver of
It's existence before he starts the
engine again.
Something which merely prevents
the engine from being started in
the ordinary way is of absolutely
no use. For example, if the self
starter is disconnected by the car
owner, there would be nothing to
stop two or three men from starting
the engine by pushing the car with
the gears in mesh. Why not give
the thief constructive rather than
destructive work? Let him build
UP instead of tearing down. De-
Etruction is much more simple than
construction, and it can be done
with most any tool. Any prisoner,
given time and saw, can eventu-
ally break jail, therefore, if the de-
vice will break connection Of
some sort, perhaps something that
would temporarily prevent the en-
CINE transmitting power to the diff
ferential, it would be more likely
to confuse the thief than a mere
locking device, which could easily
be destroyed, and allow the car to
be driven away.
1t isn't the fact of getting the
better of a thief with only few
minutes time in which to work out
his getaway. It's got to be some
thing that will puzzle the skilled
mechanical thief, who has longer
time in which to accomplish his
work.
The majority of old time motor
lists suggestions seem to turn to-
wards some device which will lock
the gear in neutral, and by the way,
there are already numerous devices
of this kind in existence, many of
them operated with Yale key.
The keyhole is in reach of the
driver, but in such position as to
make it awkward for the thief who
tries to file off the device. But here
again is a destructive rather than
a constructive job, which brings us
back to where we started.
You, as a car owner, should take
extra precautions, if you go to I'M
usual risks, in the way of leaving

RADIO CHATS WITH@N
! Powell Crosley JE ~

Complete radio sets can be pur-
chased today for almost less than
the parts.
IEYlHEN too the American house
n wife has rebelled against a
- quantity Of hay wire in
her living room. She has insisted
upon something that would at least
not detract from the attractivencss
of her home. Today one can spend
as little or as much as one wishes,
for a radio set. Sets are bcina
manufactured today in attractive
cabinets for low sums. These sets
add to the attractiveness of rooms.
Many men have brought to their
homes complete set for their liv-
ing rooms and lot of parts to play
with in the attic or in the barn.
The radio set has become an ac-
cepted part of the American home.
That means the acceptance of an
attractive set, not something tina,
looks like the switch board of
death chamber, with wires and wires
and more wires.
This is the day of the complete
set. The housewife is largely re
sponsible.
