LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT
TO RUTH BURKE, CON-
TINI1En

Sgd says he knew no more after
he felt heavy blow upon his head
while he was being held, until he
found himself in the old barn bound
and gagged so tightly that he could
hardly breathe
Notwithstanding his utmost eff
forts he could not loosen his hands
and he had given up hope and pre-
pared himself to die when Jack
found him.
Poor Jack blubbered when sgd
said this and went over and kneeled
by the side of his bed. Ruth, 1T is
wonderful to have such friend as
that and like to think that under
as terrible circums tances, you and
would find ourselves quite as close.
Commissioner Laidlaw was with
us when sgd told his story and ut
the end he said, "It's cinch they
haven't got the jewels, at least they
haven't all got them. Some one of
them is holding out on the others.
81 don't understand quite, how
ever" he continued, "just how Miss
Ellington is hooked up with them"
Don't you remember, Bill" Jack
spoke up, that l told you about Les
lies letter from her mother. Some
one of the men she may have been
concerned with over there might
have been a member of the gang"
"Yes, there's probably no doubt
that they are international crooks.
Pearls, you know, are big game to
them. I'm awfuily sorry we didn't
bag the big gun of the party, though.
Maybe he got away with them"

Others plan houses that they be added the fam

complete the exterior of the house but leave

sioner Laidlaw answered my ques-
tion by saying he thought if the
leader had the jewels. he fixed up
this scheme to throw his pals off the
scent
This theory looks exceedingly
plausible, because it doesn't seem to
me that anyone would be so foolish
as to come back within twenty-four
hours to make a second raid upon n
house. Besides. he was the man who
escaped; he was the man nearest the
window. That almost confirms the
theory.

We need respectable name for
the first, and some word for the
second.
There is such a word in Hawaiian.
"Haole" means white man of north
western European race. In any racial
census of Hawaii, the 'Haoles" are
one group, while Portuguese. Span
iards and others are another.
Latin" is respectable. lacking the
offensive atmosphere Of "Dago,' but
it is not colloquial; while "Nordic"
is even less colloquial. and, besides.
does not express exactly the same
thing as "haole."
We need decent and respectful
word to take the place OF "dago,'
and we need "haole.'
For that matter, even the word
"white man. has the wrong con
notation in many places. japanese
never use it, and do not like to hear
it used
They say foreigners" But they
do not mean Chinese, Koreans. or
Indians. foreigner" means white
man.
In most of the world. European"
means the same thing. Americans
are "EuroMans."
Which, in fact, we are.

THE ROYISH FIGURE

Detroit News: People who are
criticizing the girls Of this genera
tion for trying to develop "boyish
figures by cutting down on their
eats are doing them an injustice if
they fail to take into account the
fact that their regimen certainly is
proof of mental strength.
The end may be trivial and un
justifiablc from hygienic stand
point. but it demonstrates the ex-
istencc of will power and determin-
alton which later in life may be ap-
piled to something far more worth
while. Viewed from this angle, the
struggle to be 1.-the and supple is
likely to be good in the long run. 1t
! is training in self-denial and firm
resolve; discipline as good as
mathematics.
insufficient food is, we believe
not the principal cause Of the "boy-
ish figure 1t is due far more ia
the larger amount of dancing, golf
ing. tennis playing and skating
which the modern girl does. Those
calves which the short skirts are
exhibiting look neither weak no,
flabby.

New York, June 22.-If for any rea-
son one would desire to begin new
life, to lose all trace of past friends,
it would be necessary only to move
from one section of New York to an
other. A resident of the Bronx, for
| instance, could move to Brooklyn
| with little or no apprehension of
/ meeting or being seen by former
| neighbors. Or an inhabitant of Man
! haitian could ride across the bay to
Staten Island and be as completely
lost to his old life as if he had gone
to Alaska. Many characters for whom
the police have searched for years
have been found in New York and
have never been away from the city
| while the search was on. Undoubt-
edly there are people reported miss
ing to the police who never will be
found although they do not leave the
city. This condition exists because
people here usually mind their own
business and do not inquire into the
past Of new neighbors.
One needs not be a millionaire to
look and act like a million dollars in
New York. There are any number of
places where one may rent full
dress suit, or evening gowns and
wraps, and there are several concerns
which rent liniousihes and town cars
of the highest-priced makes, furnish
ing liveried chauffeurs and doormen,
with nothing to indicate that the car
is not privately owned. l am told
that in such a car a man visited a
prominent banker for social call on
Sunday afternoon and the next day
negotiated personal loan without
security. This loan gave him the op-
portunity to launch business that
prospered and made him able to buy
his own limousine.
The color of New York life is to be
seen only at night. Thousands who
live here work hard during the day
and rest at night and witness little
of the romance of the place. How
ever, know one man who worked
hard for three years and saved all
he could out of his small wages.
When he had saved $1,000 he quit
work, slept all day and made the
rounds of the town all night. He en-
gagged rooms in three sections of the
city so that one would always be
convenient when he was too tired to
travel far after night Of sightsee-
ing. ! know of another man who
made S145,O0O in u bucket shop be fore
the place was raided. After he
eluded the police he rented a suite
of rooms at tony hotel and bought
a great supply Of liquor. He slept
most Of the day and caroused among
the cabarets at night. At the end
of three months he. was broke and
now he is a shoe clerk. :.
Carrying or owning firearms with.
outout permit is a grave offense in
the state of New York. but on the
East Side guns are bootlegged a,
freely as hooch. Artur Fellig, .
photographer. tells me that while hi
was walking along Third avenue tn,
other night q gorilla approached hin
and asked him If he needed. gun
saying he would rent him one for :.
dollar a day.

SAY IT WITH LIFE


Des Moines Trbune-News: Rlsck
rs popular tone at funerals hence
forth is taboo according to the Ne
braska Funeral Directors associa-
ton. Sorrow is to be softened with
bright colors. Caskets displayed at
the associations meeting, which is
said to have been more representa-
tive than the national convention, in
cluded models of silk pushes in fan
cy colors. Some cakets have elm
mated the necessity Of flowers, for
flowers have been woven into the
cloth.
Color also is provided in funeral
raiment isplayed at the convention.
There are dresses of silks and satins
in the very latest style, suitable for
the ballroom or street. Dressing
gowns elaborately fashioned and
mems suits Of the latest cuts and
patterns were shown. The display
even included diamond shirt studs.
All this does not mean that "fun-
eral" and "colorful" are to become
synonymous. 1t is merely in keep
ing with the evolution of the office
of undertaken, which in turn repre-
sents gain in the public attitude.
Instead of cadaverous person, sal
low and sorrowful, sober in mein and
garb, the modern funeral director is
expected to be efficient and unob-
trusive, but pleasant and tactful
rather than gloomy and depressing
ly ceremonious.
There are limits beyond which the
change will not go. Death cannot be
made a cheerful thing for those who
survive. But that it has led to ex-
cessive depre ssion, that too often it
has kept the living from turning
back to life with the zest which the
dead would wish for them, is true.
If a few bits Of color can soften sor-
row, if an atmosphere can be made
which will bring mourning ones from
the view of death to it's lesson of life,
if they thus can be led to catch up
the torch and bear it on more under
standingly that will be gain indeed.

JARDINE AND FEDERAL AID

Secretary ardne has revived editorial discussion
federal aid for the construction of highways by his speech
on the Wendover cut off He made some pertinent and
logical comments upon the and abuse of federal
productive of better system of roads than the hodge
podge plan followed before the days of federal aid.
He said in that address:
eff there is excessive taxation for highway i'm
provement anywhere in this country, it is due more
to the unwse attempt to finance hgh-type main
roads with county revenue than to any other cause
His deductions correct in many instances Those
surface road indulge in expensive campaigns. Someone
must for the promotion and it is usually added to the
cost of the improvement along with excessive engineering
tees The taxpayer becomes the and the good
roads gets another black eye.
Costs of good roads he contrasts with the expenditures
for automobiles and their upkeep. Answering the critics
who denOunce the expenditure of billion dollars
era state and local for road building maine-
nance, he says:
"fow many who give voice to this complaint
realize that the American people pay each year more
than $SOOOOOO,0OO for the purchase upkeep and =
operation of motor vehicles? Or that the annual
sales OF new motor and trucks amount to
than double the billiond dollar expenditure for
roads?'
According to his estimates "the entire of highway
construction and pkeep is only about 10 per cent of the
whole bill for highway transportation"
Each state must contribute it's share to what Secretary
Jardne calls the service of interstate traffic" 1t is the
right well the profitable thing for any state to do
